do you have a email I could use to send you my great-grandfathers story maybe you could send me in the right direction or may know something about his service please any help would be appreciated. you do some great work By the way!
I'm so glad you had a chance to meet Mr. Moles. What a remarkable story, and what a brave soldier. I looked up his obituary because I was curious where he lived (I, too, live in Northern Virginia). Apparently, he lived and is buried in southwest Virginia near Dublin. Thanks again for your videos...really enjoy them.
Did you also do a photo of him with the helmet on? If I would be him I would have loved to take it back on at least one last time. My grandfather was a Gebirgsjäger in Poland, Norway and Finland and thankfully survived the Rheinwiesenlager. Greetings from Germany!
Rest in Peace PFC Moles great story as always Sir. Thank you for your service as well looking out for Americans that gave everything to free your country in terrible times. I only wish the American youth cared as much as you do.
I've had a German dog tag that was dug up in Stalingrad for years. I've often wondered if there was some way to decipher it and maybe get it to his family. As a veteran myself it kinda hits home that I'd want someone to do that for me. This channel is outstanding! 👍🇺🇸🇩🇪🍻
Great tribute Jean-Loup, Nice is certainly better than the North of England 😅😅. I've always been interested in military history but I think that it's only been the last 12 years or so that I've become immersed in it. The Internet and the readily available access to great documentaries and channels such as yours are wonderful tools to help in understanding and learning about the past....a good accompliment to reading books on a subject. My wife and I toured the south of France, Italy and Switzerland 21 years ago ....visiting Nice, Menton , Antibes etc....even though I was aware of the invasion of southern France during ww2 I had no idea of the sacrifices that soldiers and civilians made at the time....I wish I had known....great stuff, great channel, cheers m8😊😊😊😊
Sending you compliments for having such a beautiful wife beside you and thank you for sharing your work with us. with reapect and warm regards de allemagne.
Too bad that Normandy and D day is in all book movies and operation dragoon is virtually forgotten. Your work is amazing, the story telling of individual common people like me and you and the worst thing for all of us is war... As a child who run in shelter during war in Croatia that scars sometimes never heal and I cannot think of soldiers what they saw and endured... What horrors and fear...
It's like how of most people's knowledge of, and most references to the Battle of the Bulge consists exclusively of the siege of Bastogne, when there were many other portions of the battle, and much heroism, that are utterly discarded. Fortunately, there has been adequate coverage of my particular skirmish of interest, the capture of Cheneux on 20 December.
Awesome thank you for your time in recognizing these great men and women. Sorry I could never find my grandfather’s original photos of his glider landing in the invasion of southern France I do have a copy of him telling his story on tape cassette he made for me before he passed I would like to digitally capture it someday
@@CrocodileTear 439th troop carrier, 94th squadron, he took in the 442 Japanese Americans in that mission, he was a wacocg4a pilot attached to 82nd I believe.
@@verncommet1798 I interviewed a couple of glider pilots and soldiers of the 442nd, and included what they told me in the book I wrote about the southern France invacion. If you ever find photos or documents about operation Dragoon, I would be very gratefull if you could share them with me.
I like the details and all the interest you provide, I also watch iron mike digging up bits from the war in the German forests but I often feel he does this for the trophies he finds which I understand but with no empathy. As old as I am I have always had this kind of interest, I`m so pleased to follow all the hard work you do. Thank you
For those who want to know more details, this is the long version of the Marvin Moles video: ruclips.net/video/MHvKPh1H23s/видео.html

Thank you Jean-Loup, another great story.
short but sweet, thank you
Indeed, Iam trying to see if viewers like something less detailed but more concentrated.
