    i went to the Normany American cemetery, it was very impressive seeing all those crosses. Sadly I Havent seen 1st Lt Jimmie W Monteith's cross, that same day i also went to omaha beach. To be honest, the beach wasn't anything special. But the thought of just walking there on a peaceful beach, knowing that so many young men fought and died there, its just so surreal.

    I see Yarnhub made the same mistake as Spielberg. Those wooden logs in the water are facing the wrong direction. They were used to flip landing craft over and sometimes had spikes/blades to tear holes in the craft, or mines to blow them up. Funnily enough the game he is plugging (Enlisted, which is a great game) models the fortifications on D-Day correctly.

    My late Uncle Mick 1923 - 2018, took part in the Invasion of Normandy, in the third wave of military personnel on the 10th of June 1944. He saw things that no human should ever see, and fought all the way to Berlin, in May 1945. He always refused to talk about his experiences, I am certain he was very traumatized by what he had witnessed and lived through. Ironically he married a German woman Helene, they were together for 49 years. Amazing man.

Mines are designated as 'stationary explosive devices', land mines buried, and or anchored magnetic mines in water, placed and left until something triggers it. 6:19 love the detail of the Duplex Drive tanks, "Donald Ducks".

    MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION
    For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, near Coleville-sur-Mer, France. 1st Lt. Monteith landed with the initial assault waves on the coast of France under heavy enemy fire. Without regard to his own personal safety, he continually moved up and down the beach reorganizing men for further assault. He then led the assault over a narrow protective ledge and across the flat, exposed terrain to the comparative safety of a cliff. Retracing his steps across the field to the beach, he moved over to where 2 tanks were buttoned up and blind under violent enemy artillery and machinegun fire. Completely exposed to the intense fire, 1st Lt. Monteith led the tanks on foot through a minefield and into firing positions. Under his direction, several enemy positions were destroyed. He then rejoined his company and under his leadership, his men captured an advantageous position on the hill. Supervising the defense of his newly won position against repeated vicious counterattacks, he continued to ignore his own personal safety, repeatedly crossing the 200 or 300 yards of open terrain under heavy fire to strengthen links in his defensive chain. When the enemy succeeded in completely surrounding 1st Lt. Monteith and his unit and while leading the fight out of the situation, 1st Lt. Monteith was killed by enemy fire. The courage, gallantry, and intrepid leadership displayed by 1st Lt. Monteith is worthy of emulation. Born: July 1, 1917, Low Moor, VA. Died: June 6, 1944, Normandy, France. Place of burial: Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

    Wow what a production. Well done Yarnhub. RUclips recommended your channel to me when you only had around 5k subscribers and I was hooked right away. Just gets better and better with each video. Seriously well done guys! It's a good day when you release a new video. Also your other channel is fantastic, you should advertise it more on this channel!

    You guys fell into the same Hollywood error, those wooden posts were faced in the other direction and would have had a mine attached up top. They were meant to drive up invading boats up the log.

    I'm glad you included a story in which the soldier doesn't survive, it shows what war is really like and nobody has plot-armour.

    Outstanding animation, and a great story which I'd not heard before. Such a shame that such good men had to die that we might live in freedom and relative peace..

    Jimmy Monteith from Low Moor, Va. Appears lots of Monteiths still in the surrounding areas of Low Moor. Low Moor is all rural area. My mother grew up in county next to it and I spent lots of time there in the summers visiting relatives. Beautiful country and mountains there.

    3:15 aren't those tank obstacles facing the wrong way? I think the same mistake was made in the movie Saving Private Ryan. I believe they're meant to face with the lower side facing water, so when tanks roll unto it it flips the tank (maybe also mines placed at the bottom if it). Can anyone else confirm?

    Could you do a story on my great granddad Feser? He was a sailor aboard the USS California at Pearl Harbor. He was the ship's fire control chief, and despite having both legs wounded, continued to go through the burning wreckage of the ship to save his crew mates. He fought through each battle of the Pacific theater except Guadalcanal
