    The fact that you show the blurry footage so we can't see the carnage and the suffering of these soldiers is like a slap in the face The world should see it and should know it because that's what happened and that's what these men went through and people need not forget!

      While I understand exactly what you're saying, I think you may be shooting the messenger. And I don't mean any offense cuz I do really understand the point you're making. But I know I personally don't provide any monetary support to this uploader and so I'm just happy that it is on here for me to be aware of the sacrifices made during this battle. The demonetization of certain channels for showing what some may view as being graphic images truly does hurt the message and takes away from the sacrifice. These soldiers made. Right there with ya brother.

      Latter model Shermans were not pron to fire. The crew were dead were not count correctly (I belive), the Sherman loss numbers are very high and the repair units didn't keep count of the bodies removed from refurbished tanks. We will neve tbe told the real number, be mighty difficult to get soldiers to attack if real number of deaths was common knowledge.

    I like these video as well. But I have a question? Around the 25:00 mark, when allied air bombardment of the German Panzers began, a German soldier said words like ".... I never saw anything like it, this kind of war was new to us." How was it new? The Germans used the same tactics - known as blitzkrieg then - when the war started.

      It’s become a RUclips problem. The channel is afraid of being demonetized or worse by the increasingly oppressive RUclips censors.

It’s ridiculous that any image of dead or wounded men or animals in an historical documentary are deemed unacceptable.
