Liberate you from what? Hitler wanted to avoid war with Britain. Unfortunately the drunkard Churchill was more than happy to drag Britain and America into the war.
Growing up in the 80's there was a D-Day veteran living on our road. He had his left leg from the knee down amputated. We use to do odd jobs for him like mow & rake leaves & we always use to ask to see his medals or tells us stories which he never showed or told us. Some years after he passed away, I spoke to his daughter who told us because he was injured & back in England within a few days without firing his gun that he felt ashamed. Definition of ashamed is embarrassed or guilty because of ones actions, characteristics or associations. Saddens me that he felt that.
I have deep sympathy for the old woman and that her father was killed there on D - Day. My grandpa was a simple soldier in the German Wehrmacht and my grandma had been waiting for her young husband to return from WWII. Then she got the sad news that he died in Stalingrad ( Russia) . Unfortunately , we don`t know where he was buried in Stalingrad to say goodbye to him.RIP to all soldiers no matter which nation was killed in the war.🙏💞😔

As a British Army veteran I am conscious that it is merely a matter of fate, timing and in some cases geography as to who were called upon to carry out this task. I could have been there, you could have been there and our loved ones could have been there. Would we have been so brave? Would we have carried out the task so well? I often wonder. Thank you to the BBC for marking this day with dignity.
Fortunately, the German reservists could not offer serious resistance during the Normandy landing, since the German army was already defeated on the Eastern Front.
This was so beautiful and humbling to watch. The singers brought tears to my eyes, their music was stunning. Saying ' thank you' to all those brave, wherever they were or still are...will never, ever be enough.❤️. Never forgotten.

“At this historic moment surely not one of us is too busy, too young or too old to play a part in a nation-wide, perchance a world-wide vigil of prayer as the great crusade sets forth." - King George VI, speaking during a radio address on June 6, 1944
Fortunately, the German reservists could not offer serious resistance during the Normandy landing, since the German army was already defeated on the Eastern Front.
My father and grandfather took part in D-Day, both serving on the Polish cruiser, the ORP Dragon, which shelled Sword beach on D-Day. On 7 July 1944 the ship was hit by a German manned torpedo while it was off Caen, 26 men were lost. On 20 July she was scuttled to form part of the artificial breakwater near Courseulles.
We remember those who lost their lives on D Day and afterwards ensuring the freedoms we enjoy today. Their courage and sacrifice should never be forgotten. However, D Day did not change the course of the war, in that the Germans would have been beaten by the Soviet Union anyway, even if the D Day landings had never occurred or failed. The war was definitely lost for Germany by February 1943, when the battle of Stalingrad ended. The Wehrmacht never recovered from the losses of men and equipment in the battle, and from then on , apart from one setback a month or so later, the Red Army held the initiative and would never lose it.
May we Never forget those who gave their all, for the Good of us all. Pray for Peace, Always. Peace is what they wanted. Peace is why they fought so hard. Godspeed, and God Bless, All You Truly Good, Brave Souls.

I’m just outside of Caen right now. I couldn’t get to any of the beach areas or even into Caen or Bayeaux to see the museums due to police blocking all access to the towns from 6am until 10pm. Even the tourist buses needed a police escort. My grandfather served during WWII (I’m also an Army war veteran) and I was looking forward to being there for this event.

My Grandmother participated in the Berlin Airlift. She, like many other veterans, of her generation, never talked about it. It was just what they were called to do.
Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces, later visited Normandy as the President of the United States and remarked upon the invasion on June 6th
All the problems that Britain has now are mostly of its own making. More importantly, they are nothing in comparison to what all of Europe was suffering under Nazi occupation. The sacrifices of the allies gave much of Europe the best 70 years it ever had and eliminated the single greatest evil the world has seen (so far).
I would like to say also my grandfather was in the royal air force , we have a lovely photo of him in uniform , as a child i would ask what was it like in the war bamp , he was in italy , his answer would be i cleaned enough spuds to go around the world many many times , and his medals all just left in my grandmothers button box , but i loved him dearly and so proud of him , even if working in the naffy , he was such a colourful character , we sadly lost him at the tender age of 60 due to bowel cancer and he is missed just as much now as then which was well over 40 years ago.❤
We, in France, do not forget the British soldiers who died on these beaches to liberate France and then the rest of Europe. Greetings from France, merci
Let us not forget this ever. Let us remember the combined effort of the Allies to boot Nazism out of western Europe. Including the contributions from smaller nations to the invasion effort - it wasn't just Britain, France and the U.S. Canada had Juno Beach and landed an army there. Australia and New Zealand whose major contributions were in other theatres of the war still managed to put up five squadrons a piece under R.A.F. command - that alone was almost more than the aircraft that the Luftwaffe put up that day. There were Dutch, Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, Greeks, South Africans and more.
Next year, is it possible that US prisident, Emperor of Japan, and other world leaders attending a ceremony that marks the 80th anniversary of the end of pacific war
This gets on my nerves. Seriously so. What Canada provided the UK during WW II was enormous. More than just enormous! And we didn't get so much as a pat on the back. The whole thing disgusts me. I truly wish we could detach our country from the USA - hopelessly the mostly narcistic nation that has ever existed - and make our way down to Australia & New Zealand.
Those veterans also has great faith, American last Godly generation, endured so many difficulties. Not like now Western soldiers strong bodies, well equipped, nutritious, well training but mentally spiritually broken, they forgot God. Very rarely WW2 veterans have PTSD, they fight more dangerous brutal and yet survive. So sad so many soldiers never go to war and yet have ptsd
I was there this year, on the morning of the 6 June to pay tribute and remember those who fought and died for the freedom I now enjoy. We entered the water aboard a DUKW , first we were impounded,then later to find our return to shore barred by French police ! Good job they were less officious in 1944. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM !
Thank you veterans! *Freedom, democracy and truth!* And God bless the liberation of Ukraine! And Vietnam was not a lost cause! Neither was Afghanistan! And Iraq! Some day *all dictatorships and police states will fall!* This includes N. Korea! Goodbye Kim!
The democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown in a coup in 2014. The Ukraine regime then reneged on the two Minsk agreements that they signed brokered by Germany and France. This reminds me of Germany breaking the Munich agreements in 1938.
Michael Hass - the last legitimate leader of Ukraine was Viktor Yanakovych. He was overthrown in coup just as happened in Austria in 1938. Not suprisingly his supporters refused to accept to result of the ‘coup’ provoked by Germany USA and the West. Many of them were killed and a war has been raging ever since (2014)
D-day was the time where Americans actually came to fight for freedom, these are the real heroes. They together with Englishmen have liberated Western Europe while russians occupied eastern part of Europe.

The Soviets wouldn't have stood a chance if America hadn't provided an insane amount of food and military equipment. Even Stalin admitted as much. But despite that, Russia likes to steal all the glory and considers themselves liberators, even though they actually OCCUPIED multiple countries and murdered hundred of thousands of innocent civilians and didn't give them back their independence for decades. The Soviets also helped start the war by allying with the Nazis and invading Poland.
Don’t respect really their victory day in the slightest. Their value of human life was completely different and still is today. They didn’t care about their men, and still don’t. They just saw them as bodies to throw to the meat grinder, and when they tried to retreat, they shot them anyways. I don’t count that in the slightest as an honourable victory. Still terribly sad for the innocent lads though who took part.
We must never forget the role the Soviet army played in making this victory, and indeed the victory over Adolf Hitler. Without the sacrifice of the soviet army, the allie´s invasion of France would have proven to be a much more costly campaign. The cemeteries that contain the remains of American soldiers who gave their lives in the cause of Freedom 80 years ago would be much larger than they already are without the similar massive sacrifice of life by the Russian people we once called friend and ally.

I would like to say also my grandfather was in the royal air force , we have a lovely photo of him in uniform , as a child i would ask what was it like in the war bamp , he was in italy , his answer would be i cleaned enough spuds to go around the world many many times , and his medals all just left in my grandmothers button box , but i loved him dearly and so proud of him , even if working in the naffy , he was such a colourful character , we sadly lost him at the tender age of 60 due to bowel cancer and he is missed just as much now as then which was well over 40 years ago.❤
Sounds like he served them well...!?! 🙏🥔😉
So sorry for your loss .God Bless Him ❤
We, in France, do not forget the British soldiers who died on these beaches to liberate France and then the rest of Europe. Greetings from France, merci
So true !
God Bless the veterans and those who never made it home.
HEROES NEVER DIE ❤
Thank you, from
France
Grazie per averci dato la liberta',vi portero' nel cuore❤🇮🇹🇺🇲
Let us not forget this ever. Let us remember the combined effort of the Allies to boot Nazism out of western Europe.
Including the contributions from smaller nations to the invasion effort - it wasn't just Britain, France and the U.S. Canada had Juno Beach and landed an army there. Australia and New Zealand whose major contributions were in other theatres of the war still managed to put up five squadrons a piece under R.A.F. command - that alone was almost more than the aircraft that the Luftwaffe put up that day. There were Dutch, Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, Greeks, South Africans and more.
Next year, is it possible that US prisident, Emperor of Japan, and other world leaders attending a ceremony that marks the 80th anniversary of the end of pacific war
This gets on my nerves. Seriously so. What Canada provided the UK during WW II was enormous. More than just enormous! And we didn't get so much as a pat on the back. The whole thing disgusts me. I truly wish we could detach our country from the USA - hopelessly the mostly narcistic nation that has ever existed - and make our way down to Australia & New Zealand.
Legends never die.
Was there at the 80th😊
Those veterans also has great faith, American last Godly generation, endured so many difficulties. Not like now Western soldiers strong bodies, well equipped, nutritious, well training but mentally spiritually broken, they forgot God.
Very rarely WW2 veterans have PTSD, they fight more dangerous brutal and yet survive. So sad so many soldiers never go to war and yet have ptsd
I was there this year, on the morning of the 6 June to pay tribute and remember those who fought and died for the freedom I now enjoy. We entered the water aboard a DUKW , first we were impounded,then later to find our return to shore barred by French police ! Good job they were less officious in 1944. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM !
Thank you veterans! *Freedom, democracy and truth!* And God bless the liberation of Ukraine! And Vietnam was not a lost cause! Neither was Afghanistan! And Iraq! Some day *all dictatorships and police states will fall!* This includes N. Korea! Goodbye Kim!
The democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown in a coup in 2014.
The Ukraine regime then reneged on the two Minsk agreements that they signed brokered by Germany and France.
This reminds me of Germany breaking the Munich agreements in 1938.
@@rjames3981
What about the Budapest memorandum...
What you are saying is just russian propaganda !
Michael Hass - the last legitimate leader of Ukraine was Viktor Yanakovych. He was overthrown in coup just as happened in Austria in 1938.
Not suprisingly his supporters refused to accept to result of the ‘coup’ provoked by Germany USA and the West. Many of them were killed and a war has been raging ever since (2014)
D-day was the time where Americans actually came to fight for freedom, these are the real heroes. They together with Englishmen have liberated Western Europe while russians occupied eastern part of Europe.
True...

Never never forget, you just can't
I did
Let's be Thankful and Grateful to WW2 veterans for their incredible contributions... This world would've been different place without them...
The UK probably wouldn't be much different. But other places might be, so good on em
Interesting to note that when naming the world leaders BBC didn't mention the draft dodger's son Trudope.
Did , You Forget The Canadians on JUNO BEACH ?? ~~ AND HOW THEY WERE THE ONES WHO PUSHED FURTHER INLAND THAN ANY OTHER FORCES ... SAD, THAT THE BRITS & AMERICANS NEVER MENTION IT ... BUT A FACT OF HISTORY !! Regardless,, BLESS THEM ALL !!

No BBC "D-day" did not change the course of the war. The course of the WWII in Europe was changed between the battle for Stalingrad and the battle for the Kursk salient.
Lmfao you're a goof.
Sure Vlad.
@@bordersw1239 Study your history, and I am not from Russia.
@@Top_Bot-cu6fc What are you then?
@@USER351 lmfao says the goof that thinks D Day has no significant role in the outcome of the war. You must just be getting your history from the Kremlin library.
Were German veterans there?

That genaration was brave, gallant, srlfless, and honourable, they didn't care about their lives,but focused on the job to that needed to be done,that we do not see today,young folks are brainless,doesn't put in at all ,spend entire day compkaining and looking at the computer ,yet they want the world for themsrlves, but i do wonder ,which world are they going to get ,whe some are supporting dictators, cos they lack patience snd perseverance
No win without Russia

I assume Donald Trump won’t be there? He said the soldiers in these 4,600 graves ‘were all losers’ 😮🇬🇧🌈🙏♥️
Source: TRUST ME BRO 😂
tRUMP is disgusting.
However, good people around the world will never forget the brave heroes of this campaign. RIP 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
Trump 😢😢😢
Where and when did he specifically say the d day soldiers who died were all losers. I would love to see your source
Lol. He didn't say that, but probs thought it
The sacrifices made by such brave people... if only our current world leaders arent trying to destroy our way of life and freedoms today.
Since when did the bbc ever cade about our history?
What’s the point of all this? People are being wiped out in Gaza now and we’re remembering something from decades ago.
Lets NEVER forget that the success of this historical victory would NOT have been possible without the Russians keeping the Nazis busy.
All world leaders but mr. Putin and mr. Sunak, who for some reason had to go home....
Brexit was a betrayal ❤
The failure by the tories to deliver a true brexit was a betrayal
All those random photographers running around the old army duck certainly killed the atmosphere of the lone piper! Such a shame after all that planning !!
I'm amazed and that Woke BBC covered this. However, THANK YOU. SO good to see this history again...education as it is these days would not be part of the Education curriculum.
Blimey - fine report - BBC have hated brave patriots for decades - whats caused this change?
Is it cuz the 52% (Brexiteers) have stopped watching BBC?
Pray for peace & freedom.
Was it worth it?
Yes
Were the German gravestones illuminated as well?
❤️
Oh, but when Russia celebrates Victory Day, it's just imperialist propaganda. The Soviets had by far the highest number of casualties.
The Soviets wouldn't have stood a chance if America hadn't provided an insane amount of food and military equipment. Even Stalin admitted as much. But despite that, Russia likes to steal all the glory and considers themselves liberators, even though they actually OCCUPIED multiple countries and murdered hundred of thousands of innocent civilians and didn't give them back their independence for decades. The Soviets also helped start the war by allying with the Nazis and invading Poland.
Wouldnt have won without the allies.
You’re just a stinky commie
Russia engages in vast amounts of historical revisionism in their victory day celebration, which warps it into an Ultra-Nationalist circle jerk.
Don’t respect really their victory day in the slightest. Their value of human life was completely different and still is today. They didn’t care about their men, and still don’t. They just saw them as bodies to throw to the meat grinder, and when they tried to retreat, they shot them anyways. I don’t count that in the slightest as an honourable victory. Still terribly sad for the innocent lads though who took part.

We must never forget the role the Soviet army played in making this victory, and indeed the victory over Adolf Hitler. Without the sacrifice of the soviet army, the allie´s invasion of France would have proven to be a much more costly campaign. The cemeteries that contain the remains of American soldiers who gave their lives in the cause of Freedom 80 years ago would be much larger than they already are without the similar massive sacrifice of life by the Russian people we once called friend and ally.
The enD is near
No
Hope so 🙏🏻
Russia has already reached France 😳
PM Sunak abandoned these brave men, leaving the services early to fly home and do an ITV election interview for future broadcast.
They sacrificed their life for us future generations. 🫡
Not really. But something similar
Not sure that's really correct, but they were very brave
Trump would not face the summer rain to honour those who faced a rain of bullets.
complete fckn lie and we dont want support from the likes of you
They let the Germans come to the party that started at all but they won't let the Russians who helped end it all
Correct. They even let the dictator and Banderite apologist Zelensky turn up ……but not the Russians. Ridiculous.
Louder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
