I haven't seen a single ad muchless a political ad. Love your series brother. Look forward to each part. HANG TOUGH!!
Anyone complaining about political ads should be avoiding RUclips in general because they're on the vast majority of the videos now.
Love no ads!
Great series aside, I have to say your narrative style is also spot on: no BS, very natural, easy to follow. A rarity in this day and age
Well that's great to hear because I have copped a bit of flack for it.
Can't thank you enough brother, I loved the show and now I even loved it more
My pleasure
I am enjoying the series, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I've enjoyed all of these
Great content-I watched a few eps before jumping into Normandy for the 80th Commemoration and I’m enjoying the new posts having now been in the air and on the ground there👊🏼🇺🇸🇫🇷
How lucky are you. I watched some of those jumps. It looked wonderful.
This is a great series and is very well done. Thank you for your hard work and effort. An incredible amount of detail and I cannot wait to see the next episode.
Thank you very much!
Ads? ADS?- Oh, I subscribe to YT Premium- I don't get no stinking ads!
Absolutely FANTASTIC series of videos!
Watcha got in dem bags?
My stomach flipped over just thinking of the anticipation they must have felt prior to that jump. Your storytelling is always on point; this one gave such a sense of time and place. Bravo.
Thank you
Love this whole series! Thank you for your diligence in your research!
And as always FJB!
Right😅😅 these guys are turning in their graves thinking people might vote for cadet bone spurs, convicted rapist. You do you
My pleasure!
Great series, thanks. 😁👌👌❤️❤️
Thank you
As with all the previous episodes this is great and look forward to the next -- many thanks for the research !!
I really appreciate the comment.
Love your work, “Easy” would be impressed…☮️🇦🇺
Thank you so much my fellow Aussie.
After being a father, being a jumpmaster was one of the most important jobs I ever had.
That was my favorite job in my whole time in the Infantry.
Your awesome dude I'm glad I started following you!!! Man this is great watching!!! Love your work and dedication!!!
I appreciate that!
Another absolute 💎. Thank you
Thanks again!
Who cares what kind of ads you get, they all suck! Im subscribed, really like your channel!

Plans are, for the most part, worthless; planning, on the other hand, is priceless.

loving this
Thank you.
Another great episode. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Take off to jump was schedule for 2 h 10 min. I never knew this. Upottery to Sainte Mere du Mont is 134 miles as the crow flies. So they must have followed an indirect route after forming up with the other planes.
I'm sure part of it was marshalling of the aircraft in the air, arranging them into the linear formation as well as arranging them in depth. If I recall there were a total of 3 paratrooper divisions ( 2 American ((82d / 101st )) and 1 British (( 6th )) ). With each C-47 carrying roughly 15-20 men...with about 18-20K total for all 3, it would've taken about an hour or more to get them all up in the air, marchalled and formed. Given the AA situation along the Atlantic Wall the lateral breadth of the formations would've had to be significantly wider than the depth of the formations in order to maintain the principle of surprise. The greater the depth the more likely later planes would be shot down.
Just my thoughts.
Yes. One reason given for the sea sickness during amphibious ops was the amount of time spent going in circles as landing craft formed up.
5:03 So $10,000 in 1944 is $178,448 in 2024. Not a whole lot in compensation for a life lost but with 20,668 US deaths in Operation Overlord, the government paid a huge net sum on those policies.
Yes it certainly adds up.
FYI guys, the $10,000 insurance policy mentioned at 4:58 would be equivalent to $175,000 in 2024 dollars.
Lol not subscribing bc an ad that you have no control over. Thats crazy!
There is a saying: "No OP (operations plan) survives contact with the enemy."
Those steps are still used for entry and exit from todays C47/DC3s
Thanks for that info.
awesomeness
Army logic: don’t use the rifle, use daggers and grenades.
The enemy just watched you descend with a parachute. They know where you are.
How are you supposed to get close enough?
I'm using my gun quietly Lol I suppose if you are trained in hand to hand you are more confident but you still cant beat a gun. David Webster in his book thought that order was ridiculous and he wasn't going to follow it..
Again, well done. Looking forward to the next Part. slight suggestion..... a bit more animation in your voice?
Thanks mate. I'm actually deaf so that's text to speech you are hearing. I don't know how to animate it more sorry.
@@War_And_Truth Double WOW then. I appreciate your work.
Yep yep!!!
And why use the challenge of "flash" and the password of "thunder"? Because even if the Germans had somehow learned of that challenge and password, they can't pronounce it without a strong German accent. To them, it comes out as "flasch" and "zsunder"
If the series is even remotely accurate then Sobel was a total washout and his horizontal advancement to training was appropriate.
I know what it is like to have officers I’d not follow into battle, Naval Aviation is full of them.
3:18 3 days and nights of hard continuous fighting and then they would have done their part? As he said those words, either Taylor knew that was BS or he was an idiot. What did that even mean? That the 101st would have completed their role in Overlord? In the war overall? Makes no sense at all.
Yeah I'm not sure how he came up with that one considering they were in combat for a month.
May I know which AI app you use for the narration? It is one of the better AI voiceovers and sounds natural.
Maybe because it is real narration?!
@@plantfeeder6677 No it's AI. World War Truth has mentioned it before.
That's actually good to hear Lol but yes its text to speech as I'm deaf.
Speechify
Damian Lewis playing Winters in BoB was great, but wonder if a more athletic person would have been a better choice. Hard to see Lewis taking anyone down in a wrestling match. Personally I think Neal McDonough would hav been better. Looks a lot more like Winters and has the acting chops to carry off the role. Wonder if that was a conscious choice.
I think Neal McDonough read for Winters.
✅✅👍👍
Yeah- full of political adds.
When I was “in” politics was never spoken- miss those days.
I'm guessing its only because of the election. I'm Australian so US politics interests me even less than our own.
You're the most American sounding Aussie that has ever existed.
@@mroctober3657 Lol Im deaf mate so its text to speech. I have been told that the Aussie AI voices are pretty terrible.
@@War_And_Truth It's a very good AI voice. It passed my Turing test :) The Aussie AI voices probably all sound like Alf from Home & Away.
@@mroctober3657 Flamin Kids! Lol thanks mate.
