The Younger Generations who are so Entitled should listen to what these Men went through. Thank you Gentlemen for your Service 🙏 from Canada 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 🇭🇲 🇳🇿 🇵🇱 🇮🇳 🇲🇫 🇧🇷
My birth father died at Cassino 18 March 44. I visited his grave at the War Graves cemetery in 1997…..very emotional. I was adopted in May 1945. He never knew me I believe. I hoped to visit this March ….80 yrs anniversary later but regret it may not now be possible. Very sad.
I was there a couple of months ago, my grandfather was 24 battalion NZEF, not much there except the monastery, you can see the train station that the 28 Māori battalion made their famous bayonet charge from the road leading up to the monastery and the museum is okay but mainly concentrated on the Benedictine history Was still a humbling experience to stand where such chaos and destruction took place
New Zealand's WW2 Passchendaele! Three months of hopeless slaughter for the men from the Uttermost Ends of the Earth! Arohanui, Kia Kaha, Lest We Forget!
Churchill called it " The Soft Underbelly" The Soldiers called it "The Tough Old Gut" and No wonder hearing the Stories from The Veterans who were there. It was Absolutely Disrespectful, Crass & Disparaging they were Labeled as "The D-day Dodgers".
Love this channel always loved history and although I graduated high school a couple years ago I wish we learned about WW2 a lot more than just the basic like who was fighting and dday
You're Absolutely right. You'd think after all The years the War ended We would have learned something. Now we have The Russian Invasion of Ukraine going on & Iran bombing Israel & fighting with The Palestinians,Hamas, Hezbollah. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam,Korea etc. etc. I could go on the so many Wars that happened after WWII seems like we didn't listen to the words "Never Again !"
@@mrdarklight Why Russia? Because they don't want to get surrounded by NATO? And why does NATO still exists? It was created to counter the Soviet Union and it should have been disbanded when the Soviet Union ended. But NATO is now used as a weapons market for the US and a tool for the Americans to expand their influence. Don't get all your info from the lying media. “It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”
Terrible weather conditions, lack of rations, horrible casualties, constant death, destruction, terror, horror with little sleep and rotting bodies everywhere.

Boomers destroyed what these men fought for.

Thank you for your Father's Service 🙏 from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Peter, your story moved me greatly. A very sad example of the ripple effect of war. I hope you made it to the anniversary. Take care.
On my bucket list.....my dad was the Dispatch Rider, Royal Corp of Signals at the bottom of that hill on the final wave.

My Pop fought in this battle and as a New Zealander always had an affinity for Americans and now I know why.

Situations like that create " Battle hardened soldiers "
My family was from here. My great grandparents ended up guess where? That’s right, good old Blighty 🎉 and now look at the state of it
Do feel free to go back "home".
If they'll have you that is.

Should be made into a big epic Movie
The horors of Casino was repeated at Caen later in Normandy , men never learn, only repeat what they did😢

مفيش حلقة عن حرب اكتوبر
اللى النهاردة الذكرى ال 50 لها
It must have been disorienting for any Indian troops when they saw the holy swastika on the flags and uniforms of a European belligerent…
Not really
Uk/Us talk like they where the only countries in the war
Does the word ' tragedy ' even begin to describe the waste. Not just of lives but of history For What? ? What's next ?
Russia,
