Ay mate.Can you make a story about my favourite sniper. Vasili Zaitsev.The Sniper of Stalingrad.If you wanna know more watch "Enemy At The Gate" Please.Btw love you video
Awesome story. Could you please do a video on the USS Laffey and it's battle against 50 Kamikazes during the Battle of Okinawa. It would make for an equally awesome video to watch.
i was at this church in real life it was awsome. i havent watched the video yet but i know a mortar came through the roof and didn go off, when i went to the church ther was a large dent in one of the tiles where the mortar had landed.
They are!! It matters not. Life is too precious! But even a Lieutenant couldn't argue with these two. And the Church remains both a sanctuary and shelter, as a Church Chorister myself! I appreciate this as a fact of truth - both these medics puts a lot of people over even the most recent times to shame even today. I can't say who. But they know who they are!
That’s what I love most about this story. Really shows how human both sides can be. And even though the Germans did do some terrible things not all of them were pure evil.
I love how the German officer allowed him to stay in the church helping people and even offered them supplies. There was also the solider earlier hat burst in armed but left because he saw German soldiers inside. I'm convinced that choosing to heal both sides is what kept these men alive
its not just that but the international red cross established in 1881 that medics and wounded are protected and must not be fired upon. more than likely the soldier understood that if he did so then he would be shot by his superior officer
War is hell. Medics are angels. Every church, house, tent, or anything else with a Red Cross should be respected and supplied by both sides. Equally, no one in need should be turned away. “With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don’t seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together” - Desmond Doss
My father served as a medic. He is the nice, calmest, and most level headed person you will ever meet. One of the few times I saw him lose and needed to be held back started with an argument over helping wounded combatants. The other person who never served in any armed forces advocated killing all wounded opponents. My father stated every injured soldier he encounters will receive care no matter what uniform is worn. If anyone tried to interferes with his duty to help the wounded, even if it's a friendly, would not survive the battle. The other person walked away with a bloody nose and my father treated his bruised knuckles. I will be sending him this video
as an atheist i think that it was because a lot of people in factories chose to do intentioned mistakes in the productions of weaponry but i respect christians and i appreciate that feeling.
@@elsantigamer4334 I'm not overly religious but I believe in SOME higher power and while many munitions were faulty from being cheaply and quickly made and yes there was a lot of intentional sabotage especially in cases where forced labor was used but in the case of a round being "faulty" when it landed in a church that medics were using as a post to treat people on both sides, I can definitely believe there is SOME divine intervention there.
@@juanpablocabezas3220 well, not too much people in france liked the fascism really, there is also a lot of reports about engines from trucks failing, artillery shells getting stuck in the ground without explode, HE 20mm ammo from planes without detonate and more... So i think that it wasn't the common thing to do that but it still wasn't as specific as you could think
Indeed it was had me watery eyed the whole video thank you to these 2 brave medics for your impeccable bravery in the heat of battle you will never be forgotten 🙏❤️
I still don’t understand why there’s no movie about this? This is literally incredible. Both sides stop shooting each other whenever the medics are crossing. Incredible.
Reminds me of the story of a German soldier who crawled out to a wounded American who had his legs shot out from under him. As soon as the German scooped up the man and stood all fighting stopped as if someone flicked a switch. The German walked calmly across the field to the American line and waited until a stretcher was brought and he lowered the wounded American onto it. He turned and walked back across the field to his own lines and astonishingly not another bullet was fired that day.
You are possibly refering to the story of Friedrich Lengfeld, and if that's the case then I gotta disappoint you with reality. It happened during the battle of the Hürtgen forrest. A US soldier stepped on a landmine and was screaming loudly in pain in the middle of no mans land. Lengfeld ordered his troops to let any medic pass to the wounded GI to save him, but took it into his own hands to save the wounded man after US medics failed to show up after a couple of hours. He and his squad rose the flag of the red cross and went towars the soldier, directing the Americans toward him too. Unfortunately, he himself stepped on a landmine and the shrapnel gravely injured him. It is also unknown if the GI survived.
@@yungavocado3158 This might be controversial but Leutnant Lengfeld deserves an American medal and at least recognition for sacrificing his life to save an American soldier.
@@Reconing1the 22nd US infantry regiment left a monument to honor his sacrifice The monument states: no man hath greater love than he layeth down his life for his enemy
@@ukeyaoitrash2618 Considering that one of the soldiers made a sign of the cross and Hitler wanted to wipe out the Jews and Christianity, you could very well be right.
The church still stands, the pews are still stained and the tile is still cracked. I really want to visit this place, but I fear I wouldn't see much through the tears. Absolutely splendid job, Yarnhub! Top marks for mixing real footage with your brilliantly detailed animation. Now we can even see the bolts fly back on the firearms! You guys are fast becoming legends in this field.
@@hariszark7396 exactly. Chivalry in war is a rare thing, to really respect the life of the other side when they pose no danger. Even without a gun they can be a good source of Intel, and many more bad things for the medics.
Yes. And precisely what the Catholic Church teaches about human anthropology is that you are most fully you when you live a life of heroic virtue, which we also call being a saint.
Or it could be the fact that shells in ww2 were notoriously unreliable, especially on the axis side. This video portrays the greatest of humanity, no need to invoke the supernatural.
It's a truly wonderful story, I was left absolutely gobsmacked by the kindness and love of the two military medics, and also their bravery in the face of intense danger and difficulty. Well done, indeed, Yarnhub for retelling this heartwarming story. 👏 ❤
Please continue these videos. Telling these stories bringing them life with your fantastic story telling and animation style helps keep this history alive. The men and women who gave so much so we could all benefit deserve no less.
I've been to that church and it was the absolute highlight of my tour of Normandy. It's such a peaceful place today that it's hard to see it in the throes of war.
I agree! It was part of our “Overlord Tour” and I was not expecting it at all. I’d never heard the story before, but it was the best part of the day. Seeing those blood stained church pews really hit home. Also, learning about the battle of La Fiere bridge was astonishing. I hope they make that battle into a movie some day
I've been here, last year we went to this church and it is such an inspiring story. One of these young men was from the state of Iowa. Its not as famous as the one were the longest day was filmed, and its starting to fall apart, its a beautiful area and if ever have the chance to, go see this place its actual been mostly forgotten as its not apart of the major historical sites in the area. We went for a whole day and it was an amazing tour.
This was one of my favorite stories from when it had originally uploaded a few years ago, Seeing it revamped like this just gives me goosebumps. You guys have improved so much over the years yarnhub, absolutely my favorite history channel on this platform.
@@pacus123 The west was known to be a lot more compassionate to pows, and they commit far less war crimes. It was as honorable as war gets in those days really. The Russians on the other hand were merciless to anyone who fell under their power. Same with the Japanese.
It's nice to see that even in the most brutal wars soldiers still showed some humanity. It's a shame that these brief act's of heroicness aren't in modern wars.
There are. On April 2nd 2010 during the Karfreitagsgefecht in Afghanistan a couple of American Black Hawks risked their lives to evacuate wounded German Paratroopers, ignoring direct orders from their superiors to not try to land, because the landing zone was hot. I know that Germany and USA now are allies, but it always brings a tear to my eyes thinking, that the grandfathers of these brave soldiers maybe were fighting eachother and now they are risking their lives to safe eachother.
They still happen, it just isn't ever covered by the media. I've heard of a few instances of it happening in Ukraine too, usually with Russian medics, granted it isn't to anywhere near the same level of heroism as with these two. There's also the issue of "Doc" having become the most dangerous person in the entire squad among grunts, especially in the US forces. Not because he's the most deadly shooter or anything, but because even looking at him threateningly, or especially shooting in his direction, will result in that entire squad- if not their entire platoon- coming down on you with all the fire and fury they can muster. The Geneva Convention becomes the "Geneva Suggestion" if you mess with Doc.
I confess that I was deeply moved by this story. The oath of these doctors was above anything else. They honored their red crosses. Thank you so much for bringing us this moving story. A big hug from Brazil
I was in Normandy last month. Went to this church. It is right outside St. Mere English. Beautiful little church and commune. Amazing piece of history. Glad to see it has been very well preserved.
Sadly I'm not a native english speaker, thus I may not be able to find the words to describe your masterpieces, that almost every week give me chills. The graphics somehow keep getting better than before (at the cost of some graphics cards) and the stories you guys use on your videos never disappoint. Please never stop with your videos!
This is possibly my favorite episode of WWII history. A few years back someone noticed specifically designed crosses engraved in stones throughout the church. After research it was determined they are the crosses of an ancient religious order called the Knights Hospitalers. Of all the churches in Normandy for the medics to choose. The Hospitalers treated sick and injured knights and pilgrims during the Crusades.
I really reccomend the book by Paul Woodadge called 'Angels of Mercy', or if you like video content 'History Underground' did a great episode on this too!
@@Enclave2284. So true! Thank you for the response! As a video content creator myself, I find myself fascinated by the war-stories on this channel. The narrator has the best voice for story-telling I have ever hear, to top all of it!!!
From a storytelling angle, great job on placing the ad near the beginning. Its music was jarring and took me out of the story, but I was quickly drawn back in once it was finished. This just might be my favorite RUclips channel of all time.
Yarnhub, you've outdone yourself so much on making an interesting war story from many war veterans who fought bravery during the warfare and animated everything well to the finest detail along on how much you've progress your animation from 2d to 3d, well donw yarnhub.
As someone who watched the original version of this story, it’s nice to see it again with enhanced visuals and interesting to see what was added and what was removed from the original video.
I've heard this story many times now, and I absolutely love the recreation you have done. But this is the first time I have seen those stained pews and the cracked tile, that is positively remarkable and I truly hope more efforts go into keeping that church as well kept and maintained as possible. The significance it holds will only grow as time continues.
The passion it takes when being a medic to save the life of an enemy, is unimaginable. I tried being a medic, turns out i cant handle the sight of a needle, i blacked out during the phlebotomy course. Much respect to those who save lives as a combat medic
This is just beautiful.... The power of love has always changed the outcome of life... Thank you to the brave souls who chose to make a difference rather than be part of the problem. God rest there souls
I have been watching your channel for a long time, I am from Russia, thanks for your high-quality and informative videos, such stories inspire faith in humanity!
That was a great story of two men who could see how every one was in need no matter what the circumstances. This story really got me! this is what we need today more so than ever
As a French Red Cross Volunteer it brings me tears. Amazed and proud by this story. Thx to the Vet's of all nations for freedom and to the soldiers/men respecting Geneva convention spirit. ❤⛑️
If anyone is wondering about the plaque covered in coins, it’s a way for service members, current and former, to pay respects. In US currency, A penny means someone has visited and payed respect. A nickel means someone who went to basic training with the deceased visited. A dime means someone who served with the deceased visited. And a quarter means someone who was with the person physically when they died visited
Comparing this to the older animation, you can really see the difference and how much they’ve improved. Been a fan for a long time now and I’m so proud to see how far the team at Yarnhub’s come.
Im pretty sure the mortar after realizing the mistake it made felt so embarrased that it just decided not to exploded. Instead it jumped out the Window apologizing to everybody.
That german soldier that burst thru the door was kia against American forces a few days later. He was a MG his assistant gunner survived the war I believe. History underground did a story on it. Well done video!
Man, the story of Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore is one of my favorites. It's nice to learn it would gain a remake, just like the two Corsair pilots that flew the last mission on Korea. Amazing as always. :D
I love this medics. They are so wunderfull. I think like them. My grand father was a medic, i will follow hes footsteps, in other life.❤❤❤❤ A big hug to this medics, they are full of honor. ❤❤❤❤
Not sure if anyone on the Yarnhub team got to actually see the place, but you missed a few things, the mortar shell came through the ceiling, you can still see the hole from where it came in (right in the dead center of the church). Also there is an interesting history behind the church as it was dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian. They were twin brothers who embraced Christianity and practiced medicine and surgery without a fee. The parallel is undeniable that two random American medics would happen to setup in this church and treat people regardless of nationality and for free. I am convinced as a Christian myself that God was at work in that place, it was saved from destruction, it was a place where both sides could come to be treated, and there were two brothers placed there in the right place at the right time protected by the lord. Cannot thank you enough for making this video! I was fortunate enough to travel in Europe for 2 months last summer. this was one of places I visited, I could never do the story justice when telling it to my friends, but with this video I can give them a better illustration.
And according to another comment was used by the hospitaler order. Yeah if all this is correct, that place definitely has the right of divine protection if any place were to have it
What a wonderful story. I'm so glad these exist, I mean, I'd hardly have information on Francis Gary Powers were it not for your story on him. You provide an incredibly valuable service to this community and I cannot thank you enough.
Yarnhub retelling important stories with so much care, respect, artistry and preventing them from being lost to time is one of the most invaluable actions a RUclips channel can make.
I absolutely love that you are going back and updating your older videos. Compared to your original video, I like how this video has better real world footage of the church. For example, the pews shown in your original video barely showed any blood. Now, we get to see the almost 80 year old blood stained pews and the mortar cracked tile.
Ah, my favorite story in this channel, now remastered. This story is the reason why I subscribed to Yarnhub. I often rewatch this story since the first one got uploaded (I sometimes cry everytime I watch this). Looking forward for more history and AMAZING content. Bless you all. 😇🙏
Holy... This was the first video i ever watched years ago, i didn't realize you guys remastered this episode! Thank you for actually remakimg this, you guys came a long way
I had the pleasure of meeting a local tourgide who moved from the Netherlands to the region and became closely intertwined with the local goverment. He helped set up a couple of the local memorials and was a close friend of Rober wright in his later years. If you want i can give you his contact info, the stories he was able to tell and pictures to go along with them are simply incredible. Anyways, amazing video as always!
A true masterpiece of a video. The ever improving animation shouldn’t overshadow the music included, and I enjoyed seeing the present day images and videos of the church.
Two medics, two heroes Thank you medic Moore and medic Wright. God bless you both to a member of a french military veterans family thank you for free my country Screaming eagle !! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Throws mortar outside:
**The whole wall explotes and the church collapses**
Or hits his own teammate by the blast
Really glad you guys did this story. I had the privilege of visiting this church last summer. Powerful place.
We’ll try and catch up next time you are in the EU
Absolutely beautiful, the original was great and made me tear up. But the new graphics made it even better!
It's nice to see that even in the most brutal wars soldiers still showed some humanity. It's a shame that these brief act's of heroicness aren't in modern wars.
There are. It's just that it doesn't make good outrage fuel so it doesn't get covered
@@firestorm165 Possibly, though even if it's not in news it would most likely be documented somewhere.
There are. On April 2nd 2010 during the Karfreitagsgefecht in Afghanistan a couple of American Black Hawks risked their lives to evacuate wounded German Paratroopers, ignoring direct orders from their superiors to not try to land, because the landing zone was hot.
I know that Germany and USA now are allies, but it always brings a tear to my eyes thinking, that the grandfathers of these brave soldiers maybe were fighting eachother and now they are risking their lives to safe eachother.
@@grafarco3717 Agreed.
They still happen, it just isn't ever covered by the media. I've heard of a few instances of it happening in Ukraine too, usually with Russian medics, granted it isn't to anywhere near the same level of heroism as with these two.
There's also the issue of "Doc" having become the most dangerous person in the entire squad among grunts, especially in the US forces. Not because he's the most deadly shooter or anything, but because even looking at him threateningly, or especially shooting in his direction, will result in that entire squad- if not their entire platoon- coming down on you with all the fire and fury they can muster. The Geneva Convention becomes the "Geneva Suggestion" if you mess with Doc.
I confess that I was deeply moved by this story. The oath of these doctors was above anything else. They honored their red crosses. Thank you so much for bringing us this moving story. A big hug from Brazil
I was in Normandy last month. Went to this church. It is right outside St. Mere English. Beautiful little church and commune. Amazing piece of history. Glad to see it has been very well preserved.
6:30 "Time Out!" sent me into tears
This would make for an amazing movie if they left it as accurate as yarnhub does. Amazing jobs as usual!
Absolutely. Screenwriters listen up, this needs to be a thing.
No, they need to tick german bad box
They will put at least something like german evil sniper trying to take out the medic all while super heroic american stop him
You know very full and well that a rambo-like medic would be shooting an M1A1 browning from his hip
@potassiumcyanide3857 that's the reason why we need to get the right writer for this, somebody who is incredible looking at both sides.
Sadly I'm not a native english speaker, thus I may not be able to find the words to describe your masterpieces, that almost every week give me chills. The graphics somehow keep getting better than before (at the cost of some graphics cards) and the stories you guys use on your videos never disappoint. Please never stop with your videos!
Lol you speak English better than most English speakers! XD
@@TheoHawk316 Ty very much!

Holy, your English is better than mine. 💀
This is possibly my favorite episode of WWII history. A few years back someone noticed specifically designed crosses engraved in stones throughout the church. After research it was determined they are the crosses of an ancient religious order called the Knights Hospitalers. Of all the churches in Normandy for the medics to choose. The Hospitalers treated sick and injured knights and pilgrims during the Crusades.
Leaving this comment here so everytime someone likes this, i could watch this masterpiece again
I really reccomend the book by Paul Woodadge called 'Angels of Mercy', or if you like video content 'History Underground' did a great episode on this too!
Just liked your comment, hope you enjoy this again friend
And I am more than happy to reinvite you to watch it again. I personally never get tired of this masterpiece ☺️
@@wotaddictglobal you just cant get tired of this story, its a great tale of humanity
@@Enclave2284.
So true! Thank you for the response! As a video content creator myself, I find myself fascinated by the war-stories on this channel. The narrator has the best voice for story-telling I have ever hear, to top all of it!!!
I visited that church in June for the 80th Anniversary of DDay absolutely amazing. God Bless these Great Men !!
Yes we did in our gmc cckw
This is humanity at its peak! huge props to the brave medics and the understanding officers from both front!
I went to visit it and must say, that it was a very strong experience.
Supposedly you can still see bullet holes. Is that true?
where?
@@bot-us4qc Angoville-au-Plain (now Carentan-les-Marais)
From a storytelling angle, great job on placing the ad near the beginning. Its music was jarring and took me out of the story, but I was quickly drawn back in once it was finished.
This just might be my favorite RUclips channel of all time.
This video was so beautiful i even started to tear up at the end rest is peace soldier.
He is the hero he saves all the people 😢
This remastered version is very well done as in the first one you didn’t really discuss how many days they lasted and helped people but now you did
The graphics, the expressions,
…
I have stuck with yarnhub for a long time now… proud of how much y’all have achieved. Keep at it
Yarnhub, you've outdone yourself so much on making an interesting war story from many war veterans who fought bravery during the warfare and animated everything well to the finest detail along on how much you've progress your animation from 2d to 3d, well donw yarnhub.
As someone who watched the original version of this story, it’s nice to see it again with enhanced visuals and interesting to see what was added and what was removed from the original video.
I've heard this story many times now, and I absolutely love the recreation you have done. But this is the first time I have seen those stained pews and the cracked tile, that is positively remarkable and I truly hope more efforts go into keeping that church as well kept and maintained as possible. The significance it holds will only grow as time continues.
The passion it takes when being a medic to save the life of an enemy, is unimaginable. I tried being a medic, turns out i cant handle the sight of a needle, i blacked out during the phlebotomy course. Much respect to those who save lives as a combat medic
This is one story I’m happy got a reboot. A touching story of brave men who don’t discriminate. Also cool to see the huge improvement in animation
91A for all my days. Medics are the unsung heroes of warfare. I never saw war myself, but was proud to know many who have and had (rest their souls)
@mercator79, 91B here
This is just beautiful.... The power of love has always changed the outcome of life... Thank you to the brave souls who chose to make a difference rather than be part of the problem. God rest there souls
If im not mistaken, this is your first 3d animation video and its getting a remaster right now 🎉
Its not yarnhub first 3d vid
Edit:but it is the first 3d remake of a 2d video
@@alexandergrogudragontrainer The video is a remake of the first 3D Video he has made.
Every time I hear this story, it brings a tear to my eye. These men were incredible.
Only channel I’ve ever given money too… you guys go abover and beyonder.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind support Lincoln !
I have been watching your channel for a long time, I am from Russia, thanks for your high-quality and informative videos, such stories inspire faith in humanity!
Thank you for telling a story of humanity during the horrors of war.
That was a great story of two men who could see how every one was in need no matter what the circumstances. This story really got me! this is what we need today more so than ever
Ah.. the video that introduced me to this fantastic channel, truly awesome to see a remaster of it, brilliant work as always!
As a French Red Cross Volunteer it brings me tears. Amazed and proud by this story.
Thx to the Vet's of all nations for freedom and to the soldiers/men respecting Geneva convention spirit. ❤⛑️
Most heartwarming video I ever watch on this channel, so happy you did a remake of this story. Thank you for bringing these stories to life!
If anyone is wondering about the plaque covered in coins, it’s a way for service members, current and former, to pay respects.
In US currency,
A penny means someone has visited and payed respect.
A nickel means someone who went to basic training with the deceased visited.
A dime means someone who served with the deceased visited.
And a quarter means someone who was with the person physically when they died visited
This Yarnhub feature is closest to my heart. Imagine how happy I was when I saw this remake. Thank you so much!
light shines through even during the scariest of times. These two medics were that shining light
Comparing this to the older animation, you can really see the difference and how much they’ve improved. Been a fan for a long time now and I’m so proud to see how far the team at Yarnhub’s come.
These humantarian stories always make me cry. great video
This story gave my a tingling feeling. It's so cool to see when people can get along. RIP Robert and Kenneth
Thank you for bringing this man's honor to light. As my eye's water I am lifted by the fact that people like this exist in the world.
4:27 "Dude... Uncool."
Oversimplified reference
Im pretty sure the mortar after realizing the mistake it made felt so embarrased that it just decided not to exploded. Instead it jumped out the Window apologizing to everybody.
It’s beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes every time I see it
That german soldier that burst thru the door was kia against American forces a few days later. He was a MG his assistant gunner survived the war I believe. History underground did a story on it. Well done video!
I saw the History Underground video and just had to buy Woody's book, its been a great read so far! :)
6:16 Bro spoke perfect english (of course, he spoke english so everybody can understand but you know
Wow! Never knew 2 medics ran a church making it a war hospital for those in combat during d-day. Incredible story yarnhub
Man, the story of Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore is one of my favorites. It's nice to learn it would gain a remake, just like the two Corsair pilots that flew the last mission on Korea. Amazing as always. :D
Anytime they see the medics cross the open field, they would stop their war game for them. I find that endearing but bloody hilarious
I love this medics. They are so wunderfull. I think like them. My grand father was a medic, i will follow hes footsteps, in other life.❤❤❤❤
A big hug to this medics, they are full of honor. ❤❤❤❤
heroes. these two are heroes.
Not sure if anyone on the Yarnhub team got to actually see the place, but you missed a few things, the mortar shell came through the ceiling, you can still see the hole from where it came in (right in the dead center of the church).
Also there is an interesting history behind the church as it was dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian. They were twin brothers who embraced Christianity and practiced medicine and surgery without a fee. The parallel is undeniable that two random American medics would happen to setup in this church and treat people regardless of nationality and for free. I am convinced as a Christian myself that God was at work in that place, it was saved from destruction, it was a place where both sides could come to be treated, and there were two brothers placed there in the right place at the right time protected by the lord.
Cannot thank you enough for making this video! I was fortunate enough to travel in Europe for 2 months last summer. this was one of places I visited, I could never do the story justice when telling it to my friends, but with this video I can give them a better illustration.
And according to another comment was used by the hospitaler order. Yeah if all this is correct, that place definitely has the right of divine protection if any place were to have it
What a wonderful story. I'm so glad these exist, I mean, I'd hardly have information on Francis Gary Powers were it not for your story on him. You provide an incredibly valuable service to this community and I cannot thank you enough.
Yarnhub retelling important stories with so much care, respect, artistry and preventing them from being lost to time is one of the most invaluable actions a RUclips channel can make.
No man hath greater love than he who layed down his life for his enemy... this came to my mind, as the medic said they are boys juat like us.
When you are a level 100 medic you can create miracles.
No kidding, that story made me have faith in humanity again.
Thanks for the video.
Such incredible writing talent. The endings are always starting to get me haha🤧
I absolutely love that you are going back and updating your older videos. Compared to your original video, I like how this video has better real world footage of the church. For example, the pews shown in your original video barely showed any blood. Now, we get to see the almost 80 year old blood stained pews and the mortar cracked tile.
Ah, my favorite story in this channel, now remastered. This story is the reason why I subscribed to Yarnhub. I often rewatch this story since the first one got uploaded (I sometimes cry everytime I watch this). Looking forward for more history and AMAZING content. Bless you all. 😇🙏
The closest war would ever get to stoping mid way though for a medic and then immediately starting again the next second.
Holy... This was the first video i ever watched years ago, i didn't realize you guys remastered this episode! Thank you for actually remakimg this, you guys came a long way
I had the pleasure of meeting a local tourgide who moved from the Netherlands to the region and became closely intertwined with the local goverment. He helped set up a couple of the local memorials and was a close friend of Rober wright in his later years. If you want i can give you his contact info, the stories he was able to tell and pictures to go along with them are simply incredible.
Anyways, amazing video as always!
A true masterpiece of a video. The ever improving animation shouldn’t overshadow the music included, and I enjoyed seeing the present day images and videos of the church.
it made me cry the first time
it did so again
remarkable animation as always
These are the best historical dramas due to the skills of those who make them. Most importantly, they are true stories.
Two medics, two heroes Thank you medic Moore and medic Wright. God bless you both to a member of a french military veterans family thank you for free my country Screaming eagle !! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
