my father in law fought in WW2 as a sniper in Germany Italy France Belgium and the Netherlands. He volunteered to serve his country. He was a very tall man with huge hands he never spoke of the war. All his friends that signed up with him were killed. Only once I heard him say we did what we had to so we could live free no regrets. I would watch him on his porch through a window and look at his hands his feet his eyes and pictured him in combat running building to building throwing grenades laying in muddy trenches hauling injured soldiers and I was just in awe of this man. A gentle giant. Rest in Peace.❤
Yeah, if only the world knew what that was like. War ends in one place and starts somewhere else. This planet has never known true peace, not since humans came into the picture.
Yeah, if only we know what that was like. We've never known peace. That particular war may be over, but we certainly aren't living in a peaceful world by any means.
Words cannot express the feelings I experience looking at these photos. My father drove a tank in WWII. He could have been in any of these photos. Deeply touching .
A lot of people born b/w 1885 to 1925, were so evil!! They tried to rule the world, and tried killing millions to bring it to pass. But I thank God that more decent people were born to outnumbered the evil ones! The death & destruction of WW2 is incalculable, but the evil ones did not prevail!🇨🇦🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇷🇺 🇳🇴 🇳🇱 🇬🇷 🇨🇳 🇫🇷
It wasnt a world war world has 200 countries in it,it were mere 8 countries who were trying to show whose dick is big specially hitler and great britain and in that dick competition millions of innocent died as usual specailly jews,who litrally had nothing to do with both the parties fighting and those innocents also who were under british rule,so by default they fought this war from british side,britain is as guilty as hitler even more than that,but britain called it as "rule,brithish rule",it was more atrocious than hitler and it happend in open,if hitler did to britishers what they did to jews i would be over the moon in happiness,but what hitler didnt able to do,the jihadi islamist are doing it in britain,those immigrants have wiped out villages after villages of local british people,half of the london looks like karachi,you cant even go their in daylight,its all coming back,britain is in deep shit and it will get worse,your whole race will be wiped out
@@pepperminth8085 Afterwards, we realized we'd made a mistake aligning ourselves with the Soviet Union. They committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. The crimes continued until the wall fell...
Yes they gave us our freedoms and look at how we've repaid it.... handing our lands over to the outsider's...what a mess We're in now.. thanks to Tony blair...he opened the flood gates and now we're awash with criminals attacking and raping our women....we don't know who we're harbouring in our countries now... they're obviously going to attack us at some point... because they're bringing in weapons...so we don't know what's in store for us and our families.. it's all very scary..
I was fortunate enough to have been stationed in Germany when most WW2 veterans were in their late 40's early 50. I was able to spend time with both allie and German veterans and civilians and the experiences and stories told was once in a lifetime event. To see buildings that had a roll in a battle and to hear the the story from both side was a dream come true it's amazing how many building and other structures are still standing today
They died to preserve our democracy. Please remember trump wants to destroy the democracy they gave their lives to preserve. Trump has said he wants to be a dictator.
Perfectly said. The photos encapsulate these moments in time, forever. The soldiers who were oblivious to the photos taken of them are now stuck at that moment in time, this is all that’s left of them, and this is all we have left to remember them by. So yes, quite literally stuck for eternity.
Hey guys, if you enjoy these videos why not think about subscribing to the channel. I have long form videos coming next month from my series in Normandy too. I can see that 80% of visitors currently are not subscribed but like the videos 👍 Thank you
I've watched a number of videos about WW2 and the invasion at Normandy, but few have moved me to tears like these simple pictures. I think about my Dad whenever I run across them.
Crazy to be reminded of all the souls who stood there before you, their history, their happiness, their sacrifice and tragedy and how they may have fought for their lives just so you could one day yourself stand in that very same spot safely.
My thoughts exactly. In world wars I and II alone there were probably 100 to 125 million casualties, including civilians that also died from war related diseases, famine, etc. What would the world be like if those people were alive to multiply and change the outcome of history otherwise. It’s mind boggling.
8,000 allied soldiers died in one Day, D-Day. I'm still stunned since learning that recently. 7,000,000 died in the eastern side of Germany. Another 8,000,000 died in the east (Russia) alone! 6,000,000 Jews in the camps died, plus 7,000,000 "others"; ethnic minorities, gypsies, gays, etc. VOTE BLUE! Do not let the evil of fascism bloom in America.
My Olde Man was there, and 5 of my uncles. Lord knows how, but they all came home. Every one of them felt responsible to live the best life they could, for the ones that fell. Pop used to say “Never complain about growing old, when so many were robbed of the privilege.”
My grandfather and his 5 brothers survived w1... My Dad and his 5 brothers came home from w2...his favourite saying was... """You Don't Know How Good You Got It... Until It's Gone!!!""...my hands are trembling and tears are in my eyes as i write this... Arohanui... for so many That Never CAME HOME...we remember you not only on ANZAC day in New Zealand and Australia every year
My late father-in-law joined the Marines on his 17th birthday November 10, 1942. He was in WW2 in the Pacific. He passed away on April 1, 2017. My mother-in-law is still living and on December 31st she will be 99 years old. Unfortunately, she has dementia. She taught school in a one room schoolhouse on an Indian restaurant in Montana. What memories she still has are of teaching and my father-in-law.
My great grandpa was sent to fight on Utah beach as a naval medic. He was deployed in the first hour and earned the bronze star medal for his heroic actions. He brought back some relics, though he sadly passed away on December 13th of 2011. He was a war hero my family will all remember. This touches my heart. ❤
My father landed on Sword beach, fought for Caen, the battle of Normandy, then up to Arnhem, then the Ardennes (bulge northern shoulder) across into Germany and down through Germany and was at the liberation of Belsen concentration camp. Then finally he guarded the river Elbe, to make sure the Russians didn’t cross it as they were running riot by that time and committing atrocities. He was an amazing father of 7, we lost him on New Year’s Day 2013, sadly missed. 👍🇬🇧
You can be proud of your great grandpa, he fight for a free world, thanks to him and all they allies the Europe is free from dictator ship and oppression. Al the peas and love to him 🥹😊♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
I cannot not cry at all of these. These are our grandfather and great grandfathers now. Their experiences here shaped our today, they shaped our very being. Having visited the battlefield, have stayed in the very homes these soldiers took refuge in during battle and the respites in between these photos embark our souls into the depths of these experiences in such a way that is profound and immeasurable. To think of what these very moments did to shape them and us. Thank you for keeping their memory alive.

These are such moving photos . I had Great Uncle’s who fought in WWII in Europe , one Uncle was in the D-Day invasion . He was captured forced marched to prison camp escaped recaptured escaped again was wounded, found by civilians and hidden till American soldiers went through the village . My Grandfathers were past enlistment age but worked for Companies that made things for the war effort . At home my grandmothers had victory gardens, and one raised chickens for eggs and Sunday dinner when they stopped laying eggs . In those days many civilians did what they could so our service men had what they needed.
The tremendous sacrifices that all soldiers from all sides is something that most will never understand. It is not just one-sided. Thank you to the Veterans who served our country and their sacrifices and families' sacrifices.
So sad, my uncle never wanted to talk about his experience, I can see why. These images make feel his pain, God rest is soul uncle Dave was a great an❤❤❤❤

My Grandfather swerved in ww2. His brother my great uncle Served in Korean War. Thanks to all who have served. These videos are amazing. And makes me sad at times to think about what was once and what is now and the dash in between the time..😢
I have a strange feeling when everytime I'm watching ur these videos...idk what feeling it is.kind of sad mix with lonely feelings about those soldiers.I imagine how many ppl had lived in those places with tears and fear, how many soldiers had suffered in those places we are watching in present world. That really breaks my heart. respect to all the soldiers.RIP.This is not my country but I feel a strange feeling and the sorrow.
What a stupidity your comment is, instead of saying thanks to God the war ended. Aren't people from u.s. consider themselves Christians? Haven't you read the bible? You shall not kill? What good is it to have the logo God bless america God won't bless any nation that likes to star wars all over the world, the only god the can bless america is Satan the devil since he is also a god but an evil one the rules the world through these evil governments.
@akteach9391 what makes no sense, is that you think you know more than the person with the original comment about after death. He could be just as right as you are.
O tempo pode curar ou amenizar a dor, porém nós humanos ainda não conseguimos aprender com os erros. Ainda temos guerras contra nossos semelhantes em várias partes do globo. Triste, muito triste. Strong Hug from Brazil.

Se for analisar o antes de cada cena, como é sombrio, é gritante a aparência da ausência de paz e esperança , tudo fica vazio e sem forma ,que torna sufocante para alma absorver tamanha tristeza. 😔
Merecem todo o respeito esses heróis.... Seram sempre lembrados por nos proporcionar uma vida com liberdade... Pena alguns ainda não terem aprendido a lição......
I have been hooked on these for a week, over and over I watch, observe, feel and even miss these people. Almost feeling something missing inside. Thanks for this.
Dad graduated high school in 43 and was in the Italian campaign a few months later. Never talked about it. That generation didn't. My cousin was going through his mom's jewelry box in the 60s as a kid "helping" her pick something for a night out and found a medal at the bottom. "Oh. That's your father's." She said casually. It was a Silver Star!
Wow ! Thank you for your story. My Dad was on a PT Boat and never talked about it either, but had plenty of panic attacks and rage. He passed in 2016 at the age of 95. Miss his presence.
Вечная слава героям, какие впечетления и трогательные моменты, они остановились на мгновения, счастливые лица остались веках. И те кто боролся за свободу и мир на земле.
So many men sacrificed their lives to give us the free world we live in today. Respect to all of them, and thanks a lot, we ll never forget your heroism.
My father was 82nd airborne whose service took him from North Africa, to Sicily, Italy and into Germany. He struggled with PTSD and alcoholism the remainder of his life. I learned so much from him and in spite of those memories and hauntings that he had the remainder of his life, he was a man I appreciated and learned much from. War is hell on earth. May we find better ways.
What a wonderful thought, thanks. I have no doubt that he did after his last breath. He was an organ donor. Peace. I was a young child and witness alcholic induced PSTD anger and remorse at an earlier age.@@Denozo88
To see that dead guy. He was someone, had a family, a wife, maybe children. We should always remember, and have a big respect. This war took youth and lifes.
The Photos of Then Vs now and that Pacific BGM 🙌. Its so striking straight into heart . Kind of feels like missing them eventhough i have no idea who they are .
Those men and women were some of the best the human race has ever produced. Now we are enjoying peace and become soft. Those men and women were hardened by tough times. Brave, tenacious and resilient. They have my admiration and respect. Their actions must not be forgotten.

He was captured forced marched to prison camp escaped recaptured escaped again was wounded, found by civilians and hidden till American soldiers went through the village . My Grandfathers were past enlistment age but worked for Companies that made things for the war effort . At home my grandmothers had victory gardens, and one raised chickens for eggs and Sunday dinner when they stopped laying eggs . In those days many civilians did what they could so our service men had what they needed.
Look forward to these every day ...thank you your effort to not let history slip away .
Glad you like them! It is my genuine pleasure
outstanding and very 'Timey Wimey'
The tremendous sacrifices that all soldiers from all sides is something that most will never understand. It is not just one-sided.
Thank you to the Veterans who served our country and their sacrifices and families' sacrifices.
Something very saddening and soul touching about these pictures. I am literally in tears 😢😢
So sad, my uncle never wanted to talk about his experience, I can see why. These images make feel his pain, God rest is soul uncle Dave was a great an❤❤❤❤
@almabustamante..Bless his Heart, & Bless Your Heart for caring, and NOT "forgetting"..!!💐
Every time I see these videos I have tears in my eyes and I think about those people in the pictures... at those places
😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes I know what you mean
Me too!
It’s impossible not to wonder who they were and what ultimately befell them. So moving and sad 😢
Yo tambien.
И у меня есть такое чувство 😢
یاد خاطرات جنگ دردناک است
I could watch these videos all day
These pictures are amazing.
Aren’t they great
These before and after depictions really hit you in the feels.
Thanks, that was the plan
Seeing how time waits for no one.
A moment in time, that's all it was. How beautiful! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
time stops for nobody
Me da bronca odio y mucha tristeza como pudo aver pasado semejante guerra y más ese soldado caído tenía familia todo el ser humano es una vestía un mostruo😢😢😢
Please keep 'em comin'. Thank you so much
Goosebumps! We need to remember those hero's
Looking at these videos humbles me deeply, also it feels kinda sad at the same time.
These heroes also committed war crimes
@@EBCgangLeader all sides do commit them bruh, soviets, Americans, Japanese, Italian, Brits, not just Germans, since it's called war, the victor gets to say what's what whilst their side of crime still hidden from the world's eye.
@EBCgangLeader All nations committed war crimes, so what's your damn point?
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 that we shouldn’t praise those who died and they died for our sins not die for our country
The photo of the trio on the bike is just gorgeous. Long gone, but what a memory.
Is just poetic that the actual photo has bikes shadow in the floor
Wow. These are amazing. You start feeling as if you were there, and to think that every single person in those precious photos are gone. ❤
வரலாறு மிக முக்கியமானது மற்றும் அழகானது மற்றும் மிகுந்த வலியையும் கொடுத்து செல்லும் 😊😢❤
Damn it’s been really more than 70 years when World War 2 started and ended. May those who fought for the Allies and Other Sides Rest In Peace.
❤My grandfather Luigi , too , is a victim of Ww2. He was an Italian Officer , and he didn't want to collaborate with the Nazi. He was tortured and killed, his corpse never found again . He's an hero for me , like all these soldiers who lost their lives. God bless them 🙏
They sacrifice for us. Their souls are pure and clean. Yesterday's sacrifices draw today's smile😊🌸
🌹🙏@@beautifulmelodyoflife5819
I am sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. May he rest in peace.❤
🙏💔🙏
God bless You brother. Greetings from Moscow
May those who gave their lives so that we could be free rest in peace.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Will always remember and respect those that came before us ❤❤😢
The music paired with the picture comparison gives it a strangely sad and empty feeling
di dunia memang sementara......akherat lah kita pulang dan kekal disana 😘
The music is from the mini series Band of Brothers. I highly recommend it, if you haven’t seen it.
Title music from "The Pacific"@@sparkyplug788
@@sparkyplug788isn’t it from The Pacific? Or both?
You are correct, it's from the Pacific.@@Nik-rx9rj
OMG..Those Are Such Great Photos..They Bring Out Tearful Emotions.
That soldier on the motorcycle with those two women, that was classic!!!!!
I wonder what lives they have led after that photo was taken? What adventures they had, if any?
My Grandfather swerved in ww2. His brother my great uncle Served in Korean War. Thanks to all who have served. These videos are amazing. And makes me sad at times to think about what was once and what is now and the dash in between the time..😢
The first one with the soldier on the ground broke my heart
God bless all who fell 🥲🙏✝️
Sorry I didn’t mean to add that one at all
@@thehistoryexplorer Didnt mean to? come up with a better lie lmfao
The solider lieing on the ground. A son husband brother may he rest in peace. Some gave all and some gave everything

I have a strange feeling when everytime I'm watching ur these videos...idk what feeling it is.kind of sad mix with lonely feelings about those soldiers.I imagine how many ppl had lived in those places with tears and fear, how many soldiers had suffered in those places we are watching in present world. That really breaks my heart. respect to all the soldiers.RIP.This is not my country but I feel a strange feeling and the sorrow.
Why the heck did I tear up❤❤❤❤ this is pure respect and heart, Thank you for your service
Tears of gratitude my friend
What a stupidity your comment is, instead of saying thanks to God the war ended. Aren't people from u.s. consider themselves Christians? Haven't you read the bible? You shall not kill? What good is it to have the logo God bless america God won't bless any nation that likes to star wars all over the world, the only god the can bless america is Satan the devil since he is also a god but an evil one the rules the world through these evil governments.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing
My dad fought in the Solomon Islands and he didn't talk much about it . Dad passed in 2010 at 89. He was a fighting Sea Bee
What a legacy. You must be very proud
Rip to him 🕊️

Baban bir pislikti soykırımcı katiller için savaştı şimdiki dünya bunu gösteriyor
Fun fact everywhere you go a battle has occurred you just need to remember the souls that are trapped in time
Souls that are trapped in time?
Huh?
More of a sombre fact.
@akteach9391 what makes no sense, is that you think you know more than the person with the original comment about after death.
He could be just as right as you are.
This video is a masterpiece, and also shows that time heals everything ❤❤❤
O tempo pode curar ou amenizar a dor, porém nós humanos ainda não conseguimos aprender com os erros.
Ainda temos guerras contra nossos semelhantes em várias partes do globo.
Triste, muito triste.
Strong Hug from Brazil.
I AM still crying...😢😢
What an amazing soundtrack, loved The Pacific
Can't get over the image of the dead American soldier in the first clip,brings a tear to my eye - gone but not forgotten!
RIP
Rip to all Ww2 soldiers who died during service
Sad loss but perhaps in vain
same
@deanwatkins3513 They fighting our European brothers on behalf of the pesky you know who's. Same as today.
I just love these..these bring the reality of the time into our present day.. very well done.. thank you
Geniales videos, conmueven, gracias por publicarlos 👍
I love this channel!
That’s very kind of your to say! I hope you continue to enjoy it
I also agree that these pictures touch my soul somehow. I can’t explain it, but us history buffs can relate.
No deje de yorar .ientra .iraba esto se que asy murió mi padre en siria
É profundamente tocante, como desperta a nossa alma de que cenas desoladoras como estas, nos traz confusões de sentimentos. Se for analisar o antes de cada cena, como é sombrio, é gritante a aparência da ausência de paz e esperança , tudo fica vazio e sem forma ,que torna sufocante para alma absorver tamanha tristeza. 😔
@@mariaesther6880 es asy María muy cierto
Merecem todo o respeito esses heróis.... Seram sempre lembrados por nos proporcionar uma vida com liberdade...
Pena alguns ainda não terem aprendido a lição......
I have been hooked on these for a week, over and over I watch, observe, feel and even miss these people. Almost feeling something missing inside. Thanks for this.
Dad graduated high school in 43 and was in the Italian campaign a few months later. Never talked about it. That generation didn't. My cousin was going through his mom's jewelry box in the 60s as a kid "helping" her pick something for a night out and found a medal at the bottom. "Oh. That's your father's." She said casually. It was a Silver Star!
@mikegalvin..OhhmyGosh..!!!
Wow ! Thank you for your story. My Dad was on a PT Boat and never talked about it either, but had plenty of panic attacks and rage. He passed in 2016 at the age of 95. Miss his presence.
Боже, как молоды они были, как им всем хотелось жить, но к сожалению не все вернулись домой, к своим семьям...
😢😢😢
Veșnic respect tuturor !
Вечная слава героям, какие впечетления и трогательные моменты, они остановились на мгновения, счастливые лица остались веках. И те кто боролся за свободу и мир на земле.
Very true
jaja..die Amerikaner, unsere “Freunde“'😂
Мир на росії це звісно сумнівна історія
i hope next generations to us may appreciate the heroes of World War II😢
I will never forget this. All these soldiers fought for their motherland. How beautiful it was how they care.
So haunting, so touching. And the music fills my soul.
It's from the HBO show The Pacific. It's amazing
It's on Netflix right now
All the history and everything these men went through for the world to turn out like it is. Wish we could rewind.
Touching and moving,. Brings one to tears at those we lost and what we've now become.
It brings back sad memories. It feels like it was yesterday...😔
Yeah anyways how old are you m
So many men sacrificed their lives to give us the free world we live in today. Respect to all of them, and thanks a lot, we ll never forget your heroism.
❤ Absolutely 🙏♥️
If just one remembers your story it hasn't been forgotten.
free world? lul
Yet they were still closer to losing then winning amazing they pulled it off but there are still parts that aren't free eg america
lol
Life is too short. These pictures and the music tells a lot😭😭😭😭
So good.. thank you 👍
My father was 82nd airborne whose service took him from North Africa, to Sicily, Italy and into Germany. He struggled with PTSD and alcoholism the remainder of his life. I learned so much from him and in spite of those memories and hauntings that he had the remainder of his life, he was a man I appreciated and learned much from. War is hell on earth. May we find better ways.
The things he saw to haunt him that much. He was a hero no matter what he thought of himself. I hope he found peace in the end.
@Denozo88 thankyou, he did.
@@Denozo88 He has found eternal peace years ago. Thank you.
@@Denozo88 Thank you. Unfortunately no. He passed alone in a hotel room somewhere, and had donated his remains to science.
What a wonderful thought, thanks. I have no doubt that he did after his last breath. He was an organ donor. Peace. I was a young child and witness alcholic induced PSTD anger and remorse at an earlier age.@@Denozo88
To see that dead guy. He was someone, had a family, a wife, maybe children. We should always remember, and have a big respect. This war took youth and lifes.

The Photos of Then Vs now and that Pacific BGM 🙌. Its so striking straight into heart . Kind of feels like missing them eventhough i have no idea who they are .
From a war zone to a peaceful society. May who were there rest in peace.
famous last words
I really love this type of content, it brings me back to the past
I am amazed at how touching this is.
This pictures 📸 are amazing ❤ to see history
The first picture,with the fallen soldier made me cry like a baby,we must never forget what these guys did 😔
Me too
I’m sorry I actually meant to edit that one out.
Dont edit it out,it needs to be shown,these pictures need to be seen and fir us to remember what exactly these guys went through ❤️
@@thehistoryexplorer❤
They did war crimes
Those men and women were some of the best the human race has ever produced. Now we are enjoying peace and become soft. Those men and women were hardened by tough times. Brave, tenacious and resilient. They have my admiration and respect. Their actions must not be forgotten.
❤
THEY ARE OUR Forefathers of whom MOST were Hardworking People that Shaped the World we Live in today.
My Opa1904-1988...Grandfather was Truly one of the Greatest people in my Life, he taught me countless things as I grew up. NEVER met another with his Qualities,will miss him till my end of days

Much prefer the peaceful second photo to each frame, obviously. Peace is priceless
God bless those who stood their ground to see that we are free
Living in Europe for 12 yrs was an amazing opportunity for me. I miss the living history
