- Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Northern France is still the most ambitious amphibious military operation of all time. It took years of planning and an enormous amount of resources but was a complete success. This success was far from guaranteed however.

@@cosminking8516 thanks! This looks cool af
@@cosminking8516 I have this series on Blu-Ray including the 8 extra episode's that were not shown on TV.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about D,Day ....overlord...1944 ... Thanks for sharing
Glad this is public. No hoarding.
Actually this video have been years on youtube all ready
There were many fronts. Germany was 50% of axis total strength, and Germany spent 60% of her resources against the western allies, but 70% of her manpower against the USSR. This is because the war in the west was for many years an air and sea war, more expensive than land war. The axis as a whole devoted just 35% of its resources fighting the USSR, and the USSR was getting substantial material and logistical support from the western allies, 300,000 trucks and 13,000 planes, for example.
Substantial support from Lend Lease did not begin arriving until after Stalingrad and Kursk - by then the Soviets had broken the German advance and had gained the initiative. Lend Lease certainly made the drive to Berlin go much faster.
i think it was a lot more than that considering also many soviet citizens fought for Germany
Cant watch the video. Too much censorship.
I'm in awe of these men. Greatest generation indeed. Balls of steel
This documentary is well done- thanks to all who were involved in this project. WW II displayed very clearly the battle between good and evil. The importance of planning, unity of purpose/ mission, sacrifice, resolve, etc but above all the power of Providence- (the Allied scheduled June 5 for D-Day but due to heavy rain & bad weather had to return. Next day June 6,1944 - during meeting Gen. Eisenhower after a long pause, look up and said “ Let’s Go”. For sure he was praying the whole time). Meanwhile on the German side, Gen. Rommel thought that bec of the bad weather the Allied will not attack that day. The storm became a blessing in disguise. God works in mysterious ways. There is nothing new under the sun. Good always Win- in the END.
Actually, on the night of June 5th, Ike was given a Weather Report telling him that he'd have 24 hours of good weather on June 6th. (The Nazis, having lost the Battle of the Atlantic, had also lost any assets in the Atlantic to tell them that Good Weather was coming in -- from the West!)
Would Ike have said "Let's Go!" if he did NOT get that Weather Report?
We will never know for sure, but I think he WOULD!
The age of the actual documentary is around 2009. The title of the episodes have been changed to disguise this and in hope to attract more people ro view the video. With the aim and the desire of getting more clicks and advertising revenue from the algorithm
Dank you
Cant watch the video. Too much censorship.
Censored video loses its documentary relevance.
Uncensored video loses ad revenue and causes an 18+ rating. Its a balance

Sorry, on D-Day, we had ONLY "petrol" powered tanks. The Soviets' T-34 was the diesel tank of WWII.
Very well done. I had never heard of the Lyon battle.
Great series 👏
Thanks. I had never heard of the battles of Caen.
Now can you pronounce the word of "Caen" (Sounds like "kon")
- There are several videos on RUclips that cover the topic in further detail. Including videos from this account. "The Battle For Caen: The Key Battle That Followed D-Day | Battlefield | War Stories"

My son, Roy Wulf, was honored to be able to participate in an event at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. on June 6, 2024 to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. We made a fun video of the event and posted it on his RUclips channel 'Mr. Roy Wulf' at ruclips.net/video/cphGjHyHXDw/видео.html -- My father (Roy's grandfather) was a B-24 Pilot in the Pacific. My wife's father (Roy's other grandfather, whom he is named after) was with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific. Let's continue to remember the sacrifice made at the landings in Normandy and in the entire Second World War!
Amazing video ,so informative and brilliant colouring 👍
I don't like youtube greying out certain things. They already know my age.
You tube censors these kinds of vids along with the comments but doesn't censor movies based on these, fictional brutalities in movies, zombies, anime , and misleading video commentaries.
The fact that most of you here are arguing any of this is dumb! Seriously! Act like kids! No we mattered no we mattered more blah blah blah! The entire war and every bit in between mattered!
Great
It took DD to get the troops there dont be disrespectful these were heros not many of those these days.

Not to diminish the sacrifice of everyone involved with D-Day and the Western front, but the outcome of the war was already determined before a single foot stepped on Normandy. Germany's Luftwaffe had already permanently lost air superiority, her industry was being blown to smithereens, she was rapidly losing oil supplies, supply chains were breaking down, and was already in full-scale retreat on the Eastern front. All D-Day did was hasten the war and keep the ravenous Soviets from continuing on through Western Europe... that is the story that should be celebrated when it comes to the D-Day campaign... that at least the Allies did one thing right in protecting part of Europe from the ravages of communism.
The man on the front cover is still alive.
A brilliant man would find a way to not fight a war.
"if all the dead allies could see their countries today, they would have thrown their weapons and fought along with the Germans". David Irving,
General Patton was right. We defeated the wrong enemy.
um, isn’t David Irving is a discredited academic and a holocaust denier ?
David Irving's a crank.
Denying the holocaust paints a better picture of the Germans

There will never be fourth reich. Cope and sneed.
As was mentioned elsewhere, D-Day was a sledgehammer hitting an egg. No real gamble at all
The US did it's part in the second WW, but the big victory goes to the soviets
If it was not for the US Japan would of attacked USSR as well, cant say real victory goes to the Soviets
Disagree. Japan was stretched thin and held up in China. They could not attack the Soviets. The hardest fighting in the European front was with the Soviets and after Stalingrad Germanys fate was sealed. The US certainly did its part but to say D day win the war is completely ludicrous.
@@fooltube9999 they did there parts just as much as the soviets
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@andrebruno5716the Japnese had no heavy tanks or even medium tanks!
All that the Overlord and Dragoon landings did was stop the Soviets conquering western Europe. There is no way they would have stopped after taking Berlin. They probably would have taken Spain as well and claimed it was because the Spanish helped the Germans.
Were you there?
@@turnerification123 Were you one of the Nazis we captured?
@@Andrew-df1dr You're right, the Soviets wouldn't have stopped until they got to Lisbon.
80 years on we are still being fed the fable of " D-Day won WW2 ". The Americans certainly won the war in the Pacific, but they and the Brits did not "win the war" in Europe. Germany had been defeated long before D-Day on the eastern front, where 80% of the German military was situated and was being bled white by massive Soviet armies in battles of attrition they couldn't sustain. Before D-Day the Soviets had already reached Poland and Romania and were poised to destroy Army Group Center in their summer offensive. The Allied landing in Normandy did not "win the war", but what it did accomplish was end the war sooner and save western Europe from Soviet occupation.
That wrong. You can't fight a war on two fronts.
It seems like you wrote 80% of that comment straight from a book
If I had been lacking in conviction and less articulate in expressing my opinion I imagine you wouldn't have drawn that conclusion. I enjoy writing and I put some effort into it - as I also have done into researching the events of WW2, which has been a particular area of interest since I was very young. We all draw conclusions about these events from books and documentaries, but I am the author of my own opinions - the facts stated in my post are all readily available here on RUclips or by simple Google searches.
@@Ronald-xn2ui apparently the British and Americans didn't realize that "you can't fight a war on 2 fronts" since they fought both the Japanese and Germans simultaneously on opposite sides of the world. Last I checked they made out alright.
Vulkanik
won world war 2? nope. That honor goes to the Soviets with the 3 victories of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk....the nazis were well into retreat mode by the time D Day came along
Yess. War won by famous bot farm
Those men were Genuinely brilliant 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fighting against the world to big of achievement to dream for but she gave them a run for their money
yes that right
Cant watch the video. Too much censorship.
WW-2 was decided at Stalingrad, Kursk and Operation Bagration, 1942-44. 25 million Soviet military and civilian dead during WW-2. 500.000 American dead on 2 fronts. British Empire lost 500.000 on 2 fronts. European and Pacific theatres.
True
The Russians were entering Berlin to end the war even if D-Day did not take place .
How many did the germans lose?
@dannywholuv Estimated 5 million. Bloodiest battles in human history were waged on Eastern Front WW-2. Largest land battles. D-Day was largest amphibious invasion in military history.
@@Bloody-April-1917 mental to think. Wasnt Operation Barberosa was the worst of the battles in terms of loses?
Correct. Stalingrad, Kursk, balgaration.
Censored video equal partially truth...what a shame it was a good video.
D is what ? I mean the abbreviation
The D stands for "day" actually. So expanded D-Day = Day-Day. Kind of clumsy, but that's it.
“D” was simply a planning notation on an uncertain military calendar, an entry around which to plan an invasion. “D minus 4” was four days before the attack. “D plus 2” was two days into the invasion, and so forth. “D-Day” represented the central event itself: the invasion. Everything had to be planned, backwards and forwards, from that central event.
The D represents day but there’s a D-Day and even H-Hour for other operations besides Overlord. This just became an associated name with the event because of the historical context and magnitude.
D-Day probably shortened the war by 4-6 months but it didn't win the war. The Red army would have done it anyway. By the time of D-Day the German army had been degraded massively by its losses in the East.
D-Day didn't win the war. The war was won and lost on the eastern front.
I.e. Stalingrad, Greece, Africa was a little earlier but still wasted material, men, and munitions.
Sure. And Russia is just liberating Ukraine right now 😂
3 of 4 German soldier served on the Ost front.
When you consider that winning WW2 meant preventing the SU from seizing and occupying all of Europe then certainly this is what won WW2 lol
WRONG. The Eastern front by themselves they will not be able to WIN the WAR
its a good channle but youtube has decided to blur out some parts of the video they must think we are all children and for that i cant watch it just tell us its not suitable for children
😢
The landing in southern France occurred in August and the assault went all the way to the German border with very little resistance.
The Allies could have threaten German forces in Normandy, waited until they were flanked out by the southern landing forces and then landed without any opposition
I want to thank RUclips for blurring those clips out, I just don't think our (yes, yours too) big boy or big girl brains can handle that trauma. Always remember RUclips & similar companies have your best interest at heart & being as smart as they are, know what's best for us.
See that Google Bezos guy, I'm doing better.
I don’t understand why the Allies didn’t or couldn’t take out the German pill boxes on the beaches. They had air power to do it. Can someone explain?
The pillboxes were dug deep into the terrain and were built with reinforced concrete…..twenty to thirty feet deep. Shells hit all around them but these were not precision guided bombs. In the end they did very little damage.
Thank you for answering. I’ve been a WWII enthusiast for years with an interest primarily in the European conflict between Germany and Russia. But, I’ve become obsessed with the D Day landings after watching A Band of Brothers. I have so many questions
I've been wondering that myself. I think part of the answer is in the video. A couple of ships came in closer, well more should have done that. It does mention he pill boxes were resistant to bombing, good point but not mentioned were the lack of craters on the beach. I believe this is an aspect of history that will have to wait until secrets are released -in about a hundred years or so
@@europhile2658- But, it wasn’t just the air bombers. The Allies also dropped soldiers behind enemy line. Btw, I did hear the narrator say that the pillboxes were indestructible but didn’t the paratroopers take care of them?
What is 13 seconds of an ENTIRELY blurred-out screen supposed to do for the viewer? Seriously stupid to show an entire screen of blur. Find some other footage to show, maybe that's a better way to treat the viewer like a grade-school student.
Why is he leaving out all the strategies and things that the Americans did to make this happen and also why is he claiming that some British dude invented things that a lieutenant and two captains came up with from the United States Army?
Is this actual real footage or is it fake?
It was not a Gamble, the Allies had enormous advantages in Aircraft, Manpower, Ammunition, Tanks, Food, you name it and the invasion was held while the Germans were fighting in the East against the mighty Bolsheviks army ! Not a Gamble but a done deal !

According to these stories, American and Canadian forces were just an adjunct of Great Britain's. Might wanna rethink that approach.
D-daY ALONE didn't win WWII. I say this as my father was in the first wave to land on Omaha Beach. I would LIKE to think that he won WWII, but just like D-day, he didn;t.

@@mell0city Youve never heard of the eastern front lmao
It’s a two sided coin. Without the Russians D-day couldn’t happen and without the allies the Russians couldn’t capture Berlin.
@@mell0city Only the most famous WW2 battle for us. I'm sure the Soviets would point to Stalingrad or Kursk.
58th viewer over here😂🎉
First 🎉🎉🎉
While acknowledging it was an incredible achievement, I personally think that saying D-Day was a gamble is a bit disingenuous. Just looking at the sheer numbers shows that the Germans were out gunned ie. the Allies landed almost 160,000 troops and faced only about 50,000 German soldiers. The sheer volume of men, equipment, and supplies that they were subsequently able to bring into action in the many months ahead reflects that they had bottomless resources that the Germans simply didn't have.
Had the Western Allies never attacked in Normandy, nor in fact taken any further action in the war anywhere in Europe, I have no doubt that the Soviets would have eventually won the war simply by grinding down the Germans as they were doing.
and occupied Europe
@johndawes9337 Exactly. Western Europe is indebted to the young men who risked, or lost, their lives because we know about life in Eastern Europe under the Soviets in comparison.
Blurry stories.
Here for the footage,. not for the story-line..
😂😂😂DDay didn't win WW2,80% of the German forces died against the Soviets, Why try and take credit when it's not there, more fell on one Eastern front Battle than the whole Western campaign
The Soviets(Stalin) were cavalier about the loss of humsn life. Us and the British were not as wasteful with men's lives.
@carlgreisheimer8701 doesn't change the fact that the Soviets did more to win the war than the others put together,
@@bernardinglis4232 I think in terms of contribution it should be split up into 3 categories the war on land, the war in the air and the war at sea. In terms of the Land war it was the Soviets who indeed did the most against the German army, but in the air war against the Luftwaffe along with the destruction of German war industries and the naval war against the U-boats and the Japanese navy in the Pacific it was the Allies.
@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- America won the Pacific war, as for Europe if you destroy 80% of anyone's military the honours are the Soviets, the Western ally's contribution was small, I am not taking anything away from the men who fought on the Western front all brave men, but in the big picture it was the Soviets,
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- I am pretty certain that the AXIS air forces lost a high number of planes against the Russians. Look at the huge losses the Luftwaffe suffered during the Battle of Stalingrad.
😂😢
i wouldnt say it won the war. Russia already surrounded the main army in the east. it would have been inevitable that Germany would have lost. Just would have took a bit longer.
D-Day 6 month 6 day at the 6 th hour = 666
Oh, come on!!!
@@lulufavs4519 just pointing it out
@@JonathanMBardsleywasn’t originally planned day. Was supposed to be the 4th or 5th
That "666" means nothing.
It's like saying that there are six letters each, in
"Ronald" "Wilson" and "Reagan"
The point of Revelation 13:18 is that, if you convert the Antichrist's name into Numbers, the Numbers would total "666".
@@BK5250so what shoulda coulda woulda
"... That won WW2"??? No. It only went forward because Russia was battling 8/10th of the German Army, and destroying it.
No DDay won Western Europe
This is nonsense, normally only occurred because it was schedule by the Pentagon and had to, career depended upon it.

So by the shocking title of this clip....Russia could have ordered its troops to stay on the outskirts of the polish border because the war had already been won : thus releasing the 100 + German divisions to be rushed to the western front which wouldn't have made a difference according to the uploader of this school boy/girl level of knowledge of WW2
DDay didnt win the war Russia did
I kinda like the videos, but the sensationalist titles like "the gamble that won WW2" is a turnoff. There was still a year's fighting ahead on multiple theaters. Downvote.
Are Americans taught about the Russian front 1941-1945?
Are Russians fan boys forgetting about Japan? What would of hapenned if the Us add not join in?
@@andrebruno5716 The Japanese attacked the United States. So the US had no choice but to join in.
Japan had a massive army fighting in China. I am not sure they had the divisions to fight another large land war.
The Japanese suffered defeat at Khalkhin Gol against the Russians in 1939. So I don't think they had the stomach for it. Especially given the Russians use of tanks.
