finally a animation that makes sense to every one like to see all your animations
All Australia. heroes .Thankyou for your service .Coming from a second generation Sth Vietnamese born in Australia
That would be Australian then mate.
It's a shame that all animated videos couldn't be as as precise & as informative as this one.
Never saw such a good animation. Congratulations. Clear Precise. Really interresting.
Brilliant detail and scope. Thank you so much for posting this. Digger ex 6 RAR
Loved it, but 12 platoon were in all round defence not an ambush position, there was also no mention of the role of the RNZA 161 Bty or the US medium Arty regt that helped in fire support. I am an ex RAInf officer with 27 years service, and I had the privelage to have known and to have served with a number of the guys who were in various platoons in D coy 6RAR at this battle.
Have you watched danger close?
I don't know why but reading this made me look up an uncle (long lost. Family stuff) I always fondly remembered as a kid. So quiet I could never remember his voice. I wondered what his deployment. A decent search and I found not only that he was 6RAR but he's still going strong. Don't know if he was at Long Tan. Never t a liked of his service. Never so much as witnessed him talk to his other veteran brother. Let alone his service. I'm starting to suspect why he was always reserved. If he was there.....I'm surprised he was the beautiful smiling uncle he was. But his quietness makes more sense. As always thanks for being a Anzac and looking after each other. And trust me, the average aussie always remembers NZ when talking service. I can only imagine what the RAR think. Thank again.
You may have missed the part where 11 platoon actually called the artillery directly onto there position. Otherwise, this is really good! Thank you ☺
It was a pretty ballsy decision to make
6.19.20. Danger Close🏴☠️ ......... Situation 🇦🇺
@@justsomeyoutubecommentorwi4378 It got Lt Cutler a VC in Syria 1941.
no audio but works fine, adding audio to the mix might be cool. Just saying, great video so to say, would recommend more of it.
This is brilliant! I just moved to Vietnam and this will really help me understand the battlefield when I visit. Can’t thank you enough.
Check out "Danger Close - The Battle of Long Tan" on Blu-ray. It's a keeper.
Warren552011 Yes. You can see the full documentary on RUclips
I learned a lot of stuff with this video, Can anybody help me with the name software to create this kind of video?
Excellently made.
Excellent!
No audio for this epic battle to walk people through the details. Thanks thought still good!
I thought that as well, but you can always play, Redgum - I was only 19, in the back ground.
Well don. The dead where transported by APC back to base. I am told by a soldier that was there on its return, of the site when the apc,s ramp came down. Hart breaking.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 98% certain the the riff raff refused to fly because of the monsoon weather conditions. The chopper that dropped ammo boxes wrapped in blankets was an Army Aviation Corp observer chopper. Due to weight considerations the pilot flew solo and had to kick out the ammo. I think he got a DFC for his efforts.
Love the animation. Lack of audio is not a problem. Research says background musing impairs learning, even if it is a bit more entertaining. Could replace ext with narration, but this is just fine!
Great detail,have watched Danger Close twice in the last 2 days;what can one say,true Aussie digger spirit & bravery,
What software are you using, please? Thanks.
Why not overlay the actual radio transmissions or/and soundtrack of Redgums, 'A walk in the light green' : )
Great and detailed animations. Though I would have liked to see some actual voice and if it's just the Google translator. Just a voice narrating the events.
That would have been nice. I thought my sound system was broke for a while and had to check another video just to be sure xD
Supporting units are? Medical, supplies, logistics?
Fantastic animation; where's the rest??
Watch the movie “Danger Close”. Well made as far as war films go, and I’ve seen them all. Oh, and you’ll get a Full Metal Jacket moment in the movie too
Lest we forget.
Excellent animation and particularly good because there's no irritating 'non-music' background. This is information, not entertainment.
Just one small point, Ian: at 11:33, you refer to '12 Platoon's ambush position'. This is militarily incorrect; a defensive position (in this instance, particularly) cannot carry out an ambuscade. The correct term and action here is not 'ambush'; which is a completely different military action, but 'defensive position'. In this battle, the attacking force was NOT ambushed by 12/11 Platoon - they were exposed to withering defensive fire; a very different action indeed. For some reason, particularly among American military writers and presenters etc, there seems to be confusion about using these terms correctly. Too much Hollyweird?! No Australian soldier or unit would confuse them as they are absolutely and completely different in terms of intention, preparation and execution. Other than that, thank you and well done.
The RNZA gunners from 161 battery saved the Aussie rifle Company from destruction .
The animation was great, but I heard no mention of the Kiwis.
I didn't hear anything. I thought the Kiwis were embedded as a combined Anzac force, ie, not acting separately. Can be corrected of course.
Great animation!! The only suggestion I have is that it needs some cool vocal narration and some soft dramatic music. Keep up the awesome work..
No sound?
Why no sound?
Needs audio commentary.
no sound
Set up heavy artillery fire to the enemy position and lunch attack to the enemy
No sound but good otherwise. Being a visual diagrams and drawings person, this is the first time I've understood how it went down
I really think you should have highlighted the role of 161 Bty. Arguably, they won the battle.
2 Aust battery's a us 155 battery too Kiwi,u had one battery 2 Aust and 1 american u always try to make out no others were involved but kiwi ur dead wrong sorry, still full respect for kiwis of course, Anzac nothing with out NZ
where is the audio?
Umm theres no sound?
Ian would yuo be interested to tell the tale of another less known battle that secured the province capital of the Australian TAOR during the TET offensive? I ahve all the relevant data. See my upload The Battle of Baria - as told by CO A Company 3RAR Hori Howard
ours is not question why, ours is just to do and die
5th battalion RAR,6th battalion RAR,get it right at least,they are battalions not regiments,6th battalion "Royal Australian Regiment" 5th battalion 'RAR'
Nice animation but the lack of sound drove me nuts, so i played this in the background : battle of long tan audio
lol good old aussies leaving half the story out. If the 2 NZ artillery observers and the NZ artillery were not there, how would have this ended?
no audio - no watch
Wer
us jets missing there target no
This puts a lie to the Vietnamese claim that they ambushed D coy. It was an encounter battle.
It amazes me how much bullshit and rumour was put out about this battle even within the Australian army at the time. I know of three contemporary accounts by officers involved back at TF who believe to this day different things happened for different reasons. Back in the ranks I was told by rumour that D coy walked into a box ambush (which could almost be deduced from the layout of units and the direction of attacks).
The all round VC attacks were classic probing attacks (recon in force). I'm sure the VC commander was confused by the layout of the contacts - he didn't know what size unit he was dealing with.
You don't mention that there was a large regular NVA unit involved, seems to me you're calling BS from a position of ignorance.
