I recently learned that my grandfather was a Ritchie Boy, having been stationed in the Army’s 3rd Mobile Radio Broadcast Company. He knew the German language from serving a church mission to Germany from 1935-1938. Unfortunately, he never talked about the war and passed away 20+ years ago so my family knows very little of his service. Stories like this one, learning more about the collection of soldiers he belonged to, brings gratitude to my heart of the service of others to defend and protect what they loved most.
You must be so proud. talk about courage, honor & brass to have lost their families & life as they knew it, been persecuted & volunteer to go back w/o hesitation. Those are true hero's. Thank God for them as they were so instrumental in winning WW2 & shaping US military, CIA, Colleges, etc
"If you were saved you had to show that you were worthy of it." We have so few of these humble, thoughtful and worthy men in our society now days. We should all strive to be so just because we are granted life in the first place. These people are the real heros. They are the ones we should all hope to emulate...
This is the most empathetic, respectful and professional reporting I have seen in a while. Bringing this into the public pantheon of our WW II history is impossible to overstate. Thank you john
My mother worked with an older German man years ago. His son had refused to join the German army during the war. They executed him. Think he was more the exception than the rule.
If you're at risk of execution, I think it's understandable that only few refused. There was much fear among the populace, as the consequences were harsh and often fatal.
sure heros, they forced testimonies with torture at Nuremberg, people lied to not experience there overly brutal and all ethics and morals missing torture techniques, nice heros

What a story, about an era that was so long ago, yet so close to the present day. We must defend against this kind of totalitarian, fascist regimes or suffer the same consequences.
Seen this yesterday. Cleverness, as in knowing the local language. The emphasis on higher IQ was not wasted on me. If not for the languages and the cleverness of use, many more would have died.
Well, cleverness aside, German was for most of them their first language. And as native speakers, they knew how to use the language properly and wisely. But still, they did a great job.
I'm here because of Victor Bromberg and the interviews he has granted reminiscing about this unusual precursor to his career as a literature professor.

The GI Bill was a great blessing. We should remember that a lot of high school graduates and students in college enlisted after Pearl Harbor. As for the USAAF specifically, all pilots, navigators, and bombardiers' were all college students who left college to fight a war. They came back from the war and went back to university. some of them in big schools like Ohio State University or the University of California to become doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
@@abrahamlevi3556 funny you mentioned California that's were my dad was from and went to University of Cincinnati were he met my mom with a broken leg😁❤️
@@SandyWolf- The University of Cincinnati took in a lot of GI Bill students. Interestingly, Michigan State University owes its expansion to the very large number of GI Bill students that enrolled after the war., and so is the University of Wisconsin.
In war, people stand united for Freedom, to defend their territory and their Rights... Wars have been necessary and proven their necessity from the beginning of History! It's certainly isn't pleasant, but these wars have allowed you the freedom to live as you do in safety, not under a Dictatorship, to speak your opinions and to be free to work and prosper! But, most importantly, more than anything else, to be a PROUD AMERICAN, living FREE IN AMERICA!!! Free in AMERICA... AND more PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
I'm 86 years old now (in Jan 2022) so I was 8 years old when D-Day occured. And I still remember VE day and VJ day, but I never heard nor knew this story of the Ritchie boys before. I was smiling and laughing and feeling good, more so than any other 60-minutes story I have ever previously seen (and I've seen them pretty much every Sunday between whenever they started (I would guess, around 1955 or so) and ending maybe around 1995 when USA TV held little attraction for me any more). GOOD SHOW, CBS
I believe 60 Minutes began in 1968-the same year I arrived! That is what the description says anyway. Happy Birthday to you! And I hope you have many, many more! I'm sure you've seen a lot in your time, have you ever seen a political climate like our current one? Propaganda? Lies? Blind followers without question?
In 1944 the OSI and the Army Signal Corps produced a training film detailing the techniques employed by Field Interrogation Specialists in both the European and Pacific operations areas. Several Hollywood character actors (including Roman Bohnen) participated in the production.
God bless you men now these men are what I call hero's. Nothing but respect for you men and thank you for your service. And thank everyone who has and still are serving our country.

@@Wayzor_ I have premium. And a job.

And the stopwatch just at the beginning and end of the video would be good enough.
Intel work like this in the U.S. Army goes back at least as far as Gettysburg. Overnight between the 1st and 2nd day General Meade had captured Confederates questioned and this let him know which CSA units were present and where they were located on the battlefield and what units had yet to arrive with some idea of how long it would take them to arrive. Since Lee's commanders didn't tell him the truth about how badly mauled their troops were at the end of day 2, Lee though he had a full division's worth of well-rested troops available for the charge on day 3. In reality the troops Lee had had either been in heavy fighting or were exhausted by a forced march just to reach Gettysburg. Meade knew more about Lee's army than Lee himself knew, and this made Meade stay put and await Lee's attack on his center.
Not many of these people found their way to the front line. Yet they were the demographic who first declared war in 1933. 6 years before a shot was fired.

It seems like for a while this country was more cohesive and without as much hate and intentional divisiveness. A much better and truly, heartfelt patriotism was in everyone. To do their part, no matter what that part was, was considered unquestionable duty and eagerly accepted. The people who like to call themselves patriots today, and scream and shout about "free-dumb", fight back against public health measures, and care nothing for their fellow human being, need to pay attention. They need to pay attention to what these real patriots were willing to risk, just to be Americans. And then look at what they did above and beyond for the greater good, and learn some selflessness. Because selfishness doesn't get you very far or very many friends and absolutely zero loyalty.
@5:50 "this was my war, this country .. I was really treated well. What is he even talking about? He seems not to know who the reason was that only he was able to emigrate. He should learn about the Evian Conference, the St. Louis, or about the 103 million Americans (83% of the population) which oposed to safe Jewish refugees from Austria and Germany in 1939 while US-newspapers mentioned the concentration camp Dachau already in 1934 (!) only one year after it´s installation.
That’s why Jonathan Pollard said he spied on American on behalf of Israel, the most damaging spy in US history by the way that was pardoned by Trump and given a hero’s welcome in Israel on Sheldon Adelsons (Trumps biggest donor) private jet. He said he did it because America didn’t “get into the war fast enough to help the Jews”
@@shapiroshekelberg604 and as return present the USA got a soldier (Roddie Edmonds) honored as Righteous among the Nations for a fairy tale. In my research I found out that the alleged German camp commander he claimed to have spoken to and thus saved American Jewish soldiers didn´t exist. Sadly I don´t remember the name but according the nowadays memorial there was no camp commander with the claimed name and even not a German officer with that name in any unit around the camp area or marshing through that district.
The US was just supposed to take in millions of EUROPEAN immigrants with no questions asked? The US is always fixing EUROPE'S problems. 90 percent of all Jewish people live in Israel or the US. Tiny tiny amount remain in Europe. I wonder how that happened?
@David White you're kidding right? You honestly think that every interesting thing that has ever happened throughout history either has already been made into a movie, or else it didn't happen? Really taking, "pics or it didn't happen!" to an extreme, and extremely stupid, level...
@@jimr9499 Well, they made a complete fantasy of a film in 'Inglorious Basterds" about vengeful Jewish-American soldiers on the rampage in war-torn Europe. Why do that if they had a ready made true story in these guys? I've studied the holocaust and what came before and after it all my life and I've never heard of these people. They've made a load of other Jewish revenge fantasy films, too. Why not use this story before?
I love these men and honor what they’ve done for me and my countrymen. Heroes. What Americans owe to the Jewish community cannot be repaid. How could we ever repay Jonas Salk? So when I say I don’t at all approve of Israel, be sure and call me an anti-Semite …. Most American Jews don’t support Israel at all in fact 200,000 protested in NYC and the media didn’t say one word. Not a word
Thankfully we are free to hold our own views, whatever they are. . These men fought for that right. They are Americans (no matter their views on Israel).
Go Brandon (F) your self telling you this as a proud American Israeli and a Jew we don’t need your approval and damn I’m proud to be all the Three above that I just mentioned.🇺🇸🇮🇱🕎✡️
@@sayhitosteve2785 It is evitable that the interests of the US and the interests of the state of Israel will clash and produce a crisis that will sever these ties (much like Ben Gurion resigning over President Kennedy's opposition to Israel building nuclear bombs) just as these men lived in Germany as children in relative safety as long as they didn't try to corrupt/subvert the Germans. I suspect their progeny will do the same as the Rosenbergs, hand over America's secrets to her mortal enemies! I hope nobody calls it "a stab in the back".
My grandma had 18 sisters and one brother she, two sisters and uncle Herman, my great uncle are the only names of the great aunt's and uncles I know from the Stern side. I think most everyone else died you may know them if not related, but you look like you could be. Honest truth
As a Jew, I am having difficulty articulating my awe and deep admiration at the courage, the character and bravery of these men. As an American, I am reminded what these heroes (and all of their comrades) risked - so that I may even have the freedom to publicly comment on such heroism. I am without words… thank you, thank you.
@@CityBohoGirl I know, I know, Hitler hated you all because he failed art school. Isn't that the narrative you types run with? Probably had nothing to do with Jewish Bolshevism, that would be a anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

What is he even talking about? He seems not to know who the reason was that only he was able to emigrate. He should learn about the Evian Conference, the St. Louis, or about the 103 million Americans (83% of the population) which oposed to safe Jewish refugees from Austria and Germany in 1939 while US-newspapers mentioned the concentration camp Dachau already in 1934 (!) only one year after it´s installation.
When was it exactly that the US put Japanese Americans in concentration camps again?
That’s why Jonathan Pollard said he spied on American on behalf of Israel, the most damaging spy in US history by the way that was pardoned by Trump and given a hero’s welcome in Israel on Sheldon Adelsons (Trumps biggest donor) private jet. He said he did it because America didn’t “get into the war fast enough to help the Jews”
Prolly after the American Japanese turned on Americans the second Japanese landed on hawaii
@@shapiroshekelberg604 and as return present the USA got a soldier (Roddie Edmonds) honored as Righteous among the Nations for a fairy tale. In my research I found out that the alleged German camp commander he claimed to have spoken to and thus saved American Jewish soldiers didn´t exist. Sadly I don´t remember the name but according the nowadays memorial there was no camp commander with the claimed name and even not a German officer with that name in any unit around the camp area or marshing through that district.
The US was just supposed to take in millions of EUROPEAN immigrants with no questions asked? The US is always fixing EUROPE'S problems. 90 percent of all Jewish people live in Israel or the US. Tiny tiny amount remain in Europe. I wonder how that happened?
Awesome real life story. They have to make a movie...
I was thing ink the same thing. Hope Steven Spielberg makes the movie.
Don't you think they would have made a movie decades ago if it was a true story?
@David White you're kidding right? You honestly think that every interesting thing that has ever happened throughout history either has already been made into a movie, or else it didn't happen? Really taking, "pics or it didn't happen!" to an extreme, and extremely stupid, level...
@@jimr9499 Well, they made a complete fantasy of a film in 'Inglorious Basterds" about vengeful Jewish-American soldiers on the rampage in war-torn Europe. Why do that if they had a ready made true story in these guys? I've studied the holocaust and what came before and after it all my life and I've never heard of these people. They've made a load of other Jewish revenge fantasy films, too. Why not use this story before?
Great story and great contribution.
Profound!
Add this and read "X Troop" by LEAH Garrett. The man at 23" was indeed a badass.
I love these men and honor what they’ve done for me and my countrymen. Heroes. What Americans owe to the Jewish community cannot be repaid. How could we ever repay Jonas Salk? So when I say I don’t at all approve of Israel, be sure and call me an anti-Semite …. Most American Jews don’t support Israel at all in fact 200,000 protested in NYC and the media didn’t say one word. Not a word
This video has nothing to do with Israel
Thankfully we are free to hold our own views, whatever they are. . These men fought for that right. They are Americans (no matter their views on Israel).
We owe you nothing, got that?
Go Brandon (F) your self telling you this as a proud American Israeli and a Jew we don’t need your approval and damn I’m proud to be all the Three above that I just mentioned.🇺🇸🇮🇱🕎✡️
Sorry about your grand pappy... being a lamp shade and all.. tragic.
Amazing documentary 👏
Excellent - Ta
So badly filmed, as soon as the interviewee talks the interviewer is shown. It's not about him!
So they did "Stab Germany in the back"!
And the eternal victim continues to stab at his prey as he bellows in anguish.
@@sayhitosteve2785 It is evitable that the interests of the US and the interests of the state of Israel will clash and produce a crisis that will sever these ties (much like Ben Gurion resigning over President Kennedy's opposition to Israel building nuclear bombs) just as these men lived in Germany as children in relative safety as long as they didn't try to corrupt/subvert the Germans. I suspect their progeny will do the same as the Rosenbergs, hand over America's secrets to her mortal enemies! I hope nobody calls it "a stab in the back".
Not at all. German and Austrian Jews got their citizenship revoked and were not considered to be members of the nation.
It’s always something
Good thing Tucker Carlson wasnt alive in WWII.witj his "great replacement" theory ..he wouldn't like "foreigners" helping the wwii effort ...
I love this show ... This is where I get the real news about the the world 🌍
My grandma had 18 sisters and one brother she, two sisters and uncle Herman, my great uncle are the only names of the great aunt's and uncles I know from the Stern side. I think most everyone else died you may know them if not related, but you look like you could be. Honest truth
AMAZING
The Eternal victims bellowing for endless adulation. And Epstine is alive, sunning himself on a beach in TelAviv.
Same with Jonathan Pollard, the most damaging spy in US history….
I want to know how many times they gave their reports to high command and those reports were ignored? I bet it was more than 50%
This was awesome.
As a Jew, I am having difficulty articulating my awe and deep admiration at the courage, the character and bravery of these men. As an American, I am reminded what these heroes (and all of their comrades) risked - so that I may even have the freedom to publicly comment on such heroism. I am without words… thank you, thank you.
That’s one thing that keeps me going and out of trouble to many people worked and died to get me where I’m at i can’t waste this life
Wonder what the German side to all this Ashkenazi Hollywood propaganda is. 🤔
I’m very grateful that my great grandfather Rubin Goldblatt survived the electric floors and the bear and eagle cages at the camps.
@@1neAdam12 pardon? Sick f

I know, I know, Hitler hated you all because he failed art school.
Isn't that the narrative you types run with?
Probably had nothing to do with Jewish Bolshevism, that would be a anti-semitic conspiracy theory.
This is just another badass human being
Thank you!!!!!
