The battle for Grandcamp would see a posthumous Medal of Honour being awarded, while the battle for Maisy turned out to be a difficult battle for the 5th Ranger Battalion.

How do you not have a million subscribers? I love your presentations. Keep it up!
Exactly !
Steeds top kwaliteit én originaliteit ! ( Top quality and originality)
Thanks! Next time I am in Normandy, I will visit Grandcamp. Been in Normandy many times, but somehow skipped this town. Not so, next time.
And go visit the masey batterie! 👌🏻

Yes, i remember going here 2 years ago. Those 5th Ranger Battalion did a good job getting hold of those batteries (their is no mention of 5th Ranger at Point du hoc memorial which is a shame as they helped fight their). RAF knew alot about these batteries along with French resistance assistance. I remember reading how the Rangers cleared one bunker with a satchel charge (think it was the Batterie HQ) the blast killed the Germans inside who refused to surrender. There are alot of theories about this battery by Gary Sterne who does a great running that museam. I love the set out if it, it feels the closest to Normandy invasion feeling.
I am very proud of the fact that I served as a 240 gunner in the 116th for six years. Our company 1/116th Alpha, had received two Presidential Unit Citations; one from each World War. Because of our units history we were ranked as the number one Regiment in readiness to deploy from 2004-2012. I remember six different deployments during that time, not counting GITMO as security in early 2002-03.
Great channel. Small unit tactics with maps. Excellent.
Excellent and entirely accurate - thank you for good graphics and present day photos of the area. I’ve just read 1400 pages on the Maisy batteries and the way they created havoc up to 9 June 1944 on Omaha and Utah beaches and shipping. No wonder they were buried by the Allies shortly afterwards, remaining hidden until 2005. Great work, Ace
I agree, the series of books on this subject are well worth a read. For anyone interested, look for : The Cover Up At Omaha Beach. Gary Sterne. Follow up book is also good with a huge amount of detail disproving many 'disputed' and controversial 'facts'.
Thank you Francis. Gary has done a great job to search out documents released after the 70 year rule. I’ll bet the decision to bury Maisy (when and who authorised it) will be secret for a lot longer. They were tricked into thinking Pointe du Hoc was the real thing, when Maisy was behind the ridge invisible to troops on the beaches and ships providing covering fire.
@@francisjohnification Would you care to give us a few of those disputed and controversial "facts" please?
@@billd.iniowa2263
With respect Mr D, I’m not biting, and Im too busy to get into a back and forth at moment. Author Sterne spent thousands of hours in his research, I’ve spent hours reading through the books on subject. Take some time yourself to read the informative books on this yourself. See what you think. Have a great weekend. 👍🏻
Excellent work. This is the first I have heard of these actions...
Thank you for your research and history !
Enjoyed that
Bring us some more eastern front episodes when you can
Are there any story’s to tell from Crimea 1944 or the Caucasus retreat?
Best wishes
An extraordinary story which has been ignored or overlooked by most military historians. Battery Maisy disappeared from history until it was excavated by amateur enthusiasts.
Another great video, thank you
Interesting stuff. I had lunch in Grandcamp Maisy years ago oblivious to all this. 👍
Great video. Your videos are the perfect match of being short and informative.
G'day,
Yay Team !
Well done..., keep on keeping on...
Have a good one,
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
Thanks! Stay safe too!
Great vid ace👍👍👍thank you.
Brilliant post, as usual
Thank you for the excellent presentation and beautiful maps!
My pleasure! I'm very happy to see that you enjoyed it!
Superb as usual
Great video!
Thank you!
What is Grond Konk?
French way of saying Grandcamp, I am thinking.
Indeed, it's the French pronunciation of Grandcamp.
Find a list of recent take Aces from the Gulf War any chance you know of General McMasters is a tank Ace
Great report again
Thank you Ace for another excellent video. I enjoy seeing all your efforts in giving us a micro views of battles that took place which that so well researched. Correctly saying the names of the areas or cities is important to me so when lock downs stop I can walk these areas.
Finally a new video by Ace. Always a pleasure to watch u.....u nailed it once again
My favorite World War Two channel! Great video as always!
Thanx for bringing yet another story to us. Those Rangers are tough cookies alright. Bless them all. -- The wargamer in me salutes your use of a scale. I dont believe how many Tubers forget the scale when showing a map.
Great to see another video up! How've you been the past month?
Very well, thank you! I've been quite busy for the past few months as I have been working on a few very interesting projects. How have you been?
@@TheAceDestroyer I've been busy as well. My subject load for my university classes has gone up significantly because of how they scheduled my classes. But so far, I'm handling it well.
But anyways, great video on another man we shouldn't forget!
I knew nothing of this important battle before seeing your video. Thanks for such a comprehensive explanation. First class, as always 👍
Thank you for asking for comments.
Excellent!
Thank you
Excellent attention to detail, Ace. Your graphics make things a lot clearer, as does the current footage. Thanks for all your efforts!
👍
My father served with him in k company. He always talked very highly of him. He told me stories how they went after snipers. My fathers name carmine delloiacono
Thanks again for your research Ace - and for the current videos of the battlegrounds.
The Link-up battles between the beachheads do not get much attention, but as we well know, were essential in solidifying the entire Allied Beachhead front against Rommel's forces. Well done again, young man! Will there be spotlights on those battles between the UK-Canadian Beachheads as well?
Thanks! No, I'm afraid not. I'm currently working on a Utah beach series from the landings until the link-up with Omaha.
@@TheAceDestroyer , You're welcome! I had to ask, since one of the German strategies was to prevent the unified front from occurring until the eventual breakout and collapse of Army Group West led to their flight back to the German frontier after the Falaise-pocket was enclosed.
Hey Ace, my wife's uncle was killed at Le Carfour. He belonged to the 2 bat. 115th. Regt 29th div. Maybe you could do a video on that.
I'm currently preoccupied with a Utah beach video series I'm making, so it won't be for any time soon. I hope you were able to bring him home, or bury him at the Normandy cemetery?
@@TheAceDestroyer he is buried at Omaha cemetery. Visited his grave years ago.
@@joeblow4499 hi joe,I know we don t know each other,but do you remember in which Row/location your uncle s wife is buried at colleville cimetery?I may visit him next time I go to the cimetery if you want.(I visit it at least twice a year).I am a fan of the blue and grey.(29th DI).I would be pleased and honored to do it for wife s family.
@@syl2059 I don't remember the location. His name is Loyd Dillon. Thank you so much for offering. It's a peaceful place and solemn as were all the cemeteries I visited.
@@joeblow4499 I ll try to make some research, it should be easy to find where he is buried with his name and surname.
Nice One and keep them coming plus us enthralled! Cheers
you no longer show up in my feed. i am sure this is U tube sensors at work
Many thanks,very interesting 👍
Another well done video.
👍👍👍
Hi Ace- incredibly story told in your always, entertaining style...You are the best secret on RUclips..stay safe!
Thanks. Great video as usual. I can’t get enough of the Normandy campaign. Can’t wait to go there again.
Another well researched and presented video. I really enjoy these stories of individual and small unit actions.
Yet another great video from Ace. Keep up the great work.
Why no multiple rocket launcher used in Normandie, or i'm wrong ?
