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.
I'm glad that more people are starting to recognise the sacrifices the British made in holding off German counter attacks, allowing the Americans to breakout to the south and then head north.
@@iratespartan13 The Americans at Bastogne weren''t shabby, either. Montgomery said he could relieve the Americans from the overwhelming number of Germans in two weeks. Patton did it in two days.
PTSD terrible my dad had it from WW2, never said a thing till he was 85, l got it, had it when l was 18, now 77, still the same, just started getting treatment this year, when it starts whatever starts it, well every traumatic thing happens over the years just adds to it, was just getting to feeling ok the past few days, some one stole my truck, l came out and its gone, well, first thing was what year is this where did l put my truck, man this is such a terrible thing, l can not imagine what these soldiers went through and most never said a thing, they never said PTSD to me untill about 1989...Sad how the Canadians seldom get a mention in WW2, great show, Thanks
US 1st Army claim 195 tanks between 6th June and August 1944. The British 2nd Army and 1st Canadian army claim 893 tanks during the same period. The Panzer divisions attack in penny packets and are ground down.
I see the German guy with the huge (but perfectly shaped) nose in almost every video from the ETO, and sometimes even the Mediterranean. Haven't seen him yet from the Pacific.
That was very insightful. Knowing tbe way artillery damages people will affect how I watch these sorts of films the rest.of my life. Neat to see how it gets called in. Thanks.
I trained as a forward Observer 69 + 70. It is as they say calling in fire missions. Two-thirds of casualties are from artillery. Semper Fi. There is no glory in war. And you fight for the men beside you.🇺🇸
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.
My uncle was in Europe during WWII recovering tanks and vehicles. Cleaning them up oh, I got that it wasn't pretty. Repaired and back to the fight. Made it back alive didn't talk about it much.
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.
Bewegungskrieg. Blitzkrieg was a name given by a british journalist. It is a myth and held on. Its called Bewegungskrieg or combined warfare in correct terms :) Just so you know.
Ronsan ? Ronsan made the flame throwing tank used in the Japanese island invasion. I was surprised to hear this because for years the common heard theme was the allied tank lite up first time..etc… well Ronsan manufacturers flame thrower tanks..

Plus shell shock. When he said that soldiers didn't feel their wounds, he wasn't speaking for everyone. Some of the wounded soldiers were in terrible pain.
Monty, no. Rommel, Yes. The so called master tactician was being supplied all the British battle plans by a spy who worked for the American liason officer. That's all.

@unitedwestand5100 Quote "The operation was a tactical failure for VIII Corps *but a strategic success for the Allies, attrition having reduced the II SS Panzer Corps to a condition from which it never recovered."* *"By the end of the operation, the 10th SS-Panzer Division had been reduced from c. 15,000 men to 2,289.*
Why did they not keep bringing air strikes? Weather? That weak ecscueise I've heard over and again. Don't the alies have radio come w the planes? Don't understand.
When I was in I had served with both an infantry unit then an armor unit. Carver Should of Attacked. Infantry Need Armor to help them Advance. Armor Need Infantry to advance. The Infantry were getting Slaughtered by the German Armor! Carver should have been relieved for cause. He was disobeying a Direct order. And far worse in my opinion his Cowardness Cost Lives that he Could have Saved. A lot of lives. Not just the ones that were trying to take the Hill
@@quantum_cricket8555 Monty had the same issues as McArthur (a US General). Lack of Logistics and plans that had No Flexibility. Their Egos got in the way of their ability.
Unwatchable. The decision to obscure images is an insult to the memory of the men who were there. I cannot (and will not) give a thumbs up or subscribe to this channel. Utterly disgusting practice.
I came on here to make the same protest of obscuring images of casualties. Why do this ? Surely not doing so and having veiwers see these images will not sugarcoat war’s brutality which needs to be reinforced to the general public.
It’s become a RUclips problem. The channel is afraid of being demonetized or worse by the increasingly oppressive RUclips censors. Obviously these documentaries were originally created for prime time viewing on television. It’s ridiculous that any image of dead or wounded men or animals in an historical documentary are deemed unacceptable.
really? pulled the coles out of the fire at st Vinh..maybe you should read about that before saying such garbage.also never lost a battle bashed Rommel 5 times.
The German troops seemed like they could only fight good in certain environment s. The Germans could fight fine in the cold but not the artic level cold weather places. The Germans were not good at fighting in jungle environments. The Germans were not that great at ocean naval warfare either.
The Marines are back! Sound fixed. We are sorry!
Good job more n more documentaries please
Very good, thanks!
I can't even imagine how these men could retain any semblance of sanity. " Hey ! Has anyone seen my leg? "

There is bravery on both sides. One side stands for sanity, and the other is madness.

No doubt. The Brits and Canadians tied down some very tough folks.

That's why the artillery is called the king of battle.
The total number of personnel lost in Shermans was 1417. It was the easiest tank to get out of when hit.
Wrong. Most tank crewman didn't escape a hit or burning Sherman. It was called a Ronson because it lit up everytime.

No censured pictures!
Monty--History's most overrated commander. cheers Lads.
I know,however I absolutely love these flamboyant,ego crazed figures and Monty is a prime example of such a person
Monty, no. Rommel, Yes. The so called master tactician was being supplied all the British battle plans by a spy who worked for the American liason officer. That's all.
Hahaha.a typical brit.
Patton is just as overrated
foolish comment posted by a uneducated fool..Monty was the best General in the ETO and the MTO..
There's a British tank spraying napalm. Seems like the allied fighter bombers could have ended the fighting by plastering the hilltop with napalm.
Napalm was dropped by the American during island hops. One way to clear out the dense jungles. Nasty stuff, though, when it got in contact with skin.
What is the purpose of blurring the film footage?
All that does is further frustrate viewers that already have to put up with ads 😒
Who wrote this script ???

Young people need to watch this vary closely
You have only one life
And these people gave theirs for us
and politicians always want another war which they don't fight
Please stop with the excuses for Montgomery's lack of competence and aggression.
He was blame for the Market Garden failure!
Why didn’t Eisenhower sack him ?
