My great grandmother lost her life during operation 'market garden' She was just a random civilian she was crushed under the debris of a half collapsed house that was severely damaged due to the battle at arnhem 😢😢😢 My grandfather was back then a 7-year-old boy and was traumatized for life, His PTSD had consequences for My mom's childhood when he became a father later in life, It led to a rather difficult relationship between him and my mom
My long time friend's father lost his father in Vietnam. Died to a tiger trap (what I was told). Sometimes his dad just seems like his soul is gone, like he'll just be staring off. I don't know if he saw an image or what, but war will fuck a person up.
When the "Panther" crosses the bridge and is missed by the PIAT twice, it was fired by a former British Army instructor and according to Attenborough, the bombs were placed with pinpoint accuracy on the first take (he had discussed it with the guy before the take, specified how and where he wanted the bombs to land, and the former instructor did it perfectly).
Late in 1944, the Allies seem to have the upper hand in the European land war. A combined British and American paratrooper force, led by American general Gavin (O"Neal) and British general Urquhart (Connery), plans to take a highway leading from the Netherlands into Germany, so that British ground troops led by Lieutenant General Horrocks (Fox) and Lieutenant Colonel Vandeleur (Caine) can enter enemy territory but the Allies soon learn that they may be overconfident.
This must be the first WW2 movie with the realistic portray of gruesome deaths of the allied soldiers involved. In most war dramas before this, the way people die in the battle looks too clean(no blood seen when shot or blown off by the blast). They usually fall peacefully and quietly like bowling pins. Richard Attenborough, the director of this movie said that he picked the war episode where the allied didn't win to show the misery and brutality of the war. Instead of projecting any heroic images that were common in older films. I have read these things in his interview after the roadshow of A Bridge Too Far.
The PAK 40 was a beast of a gun. Could not out any Allied vehicle until the very last stage of the war. Even then, a well placed shot from a PAK 40 could knock the treads off a Jumbo or IS tank.
Hey yall missed an obvious kill, after the 82nd landed Brigadier General Gavin, his Dutch Advisor, and a bunch of paratroopers were moving in the woods when they came under fire from a German machine gunner. Gavin sneaks up in front of the gunner and then pops out and shoots the German dead.
Also the Dakota that was shot down (before Ginger ran to collect the short dropped supply cannister) would have had two pilots and at least two loadies chucking cannisters out of the door
Directed by the late great Sir Richard Attenborough aka Dr. John Hammond himself (Jurassic Park '93). Only few films in history to not only be as historically accurate to the events that occurred but also involved REAL veterans of World War II to reenact their moments they have fought against. Realize these famous actors of yesterday and Attenborough himself served in this war. Let that sink in; our lives couldn't co-exist without those men and women who fought and died bravely for this war. For that, I'll always cherish that generation where a clear line between good and evil was fought. God bless the military! 🪖🪖
1:48 You know what I've seen a billion movie shootouts, a lot of them being war themed And this is the ONLY time I've ever seen someone just blindly spraying into the smoke Any other time it turns people into either a storm trooper or makes them suddenly blind.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Great job Carnage Counts! One of my favorite war movies. P.S Could you do Run & Gun (2022) with Mark Dacascos in it?
Underrated my ass. The movie was an instant classic and is tons of top war movie lists. The movie came out in 1977. Of course it's not talked about as often as it used to. You expect an average 15 year old to give a shit about a movie that came out 31 years before they were born?
You missed the lone German soldier in the woods near the american drop zone and a few german soldiers are killed by the British artillery barrage prior to the Germans firing on the British tanks
In real life the guy who did this actually made it back to the lines. Not sure if what he grabbed was actually berets or not but he apparently didn't get a heroes welcome from his commanding officers when he got back.

I’m very sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your story. Best of wishes to you and yours. ❤

Most of these soldiers get dropped by a bullet or two, but it took multiple rounds of ammo to put down that old lady. What a champ!

I can’t believe that old woman decided to run out in the middle of an active warzone like that.
“And miss my Bingo game? never!”
Truly. While the soldiers are keeping their heads down. She might have had dementia; unable to recognize what was really going on around correctly.
In wars civilians are the most tragic casualties.😯😠
I don't think is funny!
The film stars Connery, Caine, Bogarde, Hopkins, Redford, Caan, Hackman, Fox, Olivier, O'Neal, Cross and Byrne.

You know what

Dude this movie was the shit when i was growing up 😂
That old lady got blasted 😂
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Great job Carnage Counts! One of my favorite war movies. P.S Could you do Run & Gun (2022) with Mark Dacascos in it?
This is another good one. I’m likely going to be rewatching these classic war movies I picked out for Carnage Counts.❤️
My great grandpa died in this battle, he was a random civilian who was walking by and a tree fell on his head and died, rip.
"We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoners."
If that British guy accepted the German surrender, that town wouldn’t have been ripped apart
I like learning about bew and old movies ob this channel
Carnage Counts IS back, baby!!!
BTW: love how you counted the Tank crews in the kills!
Shermans (most tanks in the ETO in fact) had a crew of five
@@smokerjim Aaaaw maaan 😮💨
The people in my nursery home remember the making of this movie. ...And the war itself...Many stories of a horrible war..
Absolutely underrated film. One of my favorite war movies.

Who wins
I remember watching the scene where the guy runs to get the supply drop. I didn't know it was this movie.
Americans: well organised, many men and advanced weapons
The brits: *CHICKEN*
"A FAR too BRIDGE."
Carnage: Hello & Welcome to carnage counts.
Indeed.
Hooray!
6:16 Face of that SS soldier looks like a child: Hitler Youtu member under 15? Even his helmet looks oversized for him.
Great 😊
You missed the lone German soldier in the woods near the american drop zone and a few german soldiers are killed by the British artillery barrage prior to the Germans firing on the British tanks
A great classic war film. Hope to see more in the future.
Maybe count the Band of Brothers and The Pacific series
Devil's Brigade Carnage Count please?
4:24
I'm confused
Why did they risk someones life over a supply drop of berets?
Because they had no idea there were berets in the container, they probably thought there would be something more useful.
In real life the guy who did this actually made it back to the lines. Not sure if what he grabbed was actually berets or not but he apparently didn't get a heroes welcome from his commanding officers when he got back.
One movie that really show what Gen Sherman once said: War is hell!😖😪
Sherman tanks have five crew members, not four.
What happened to Allied soldiers at Arnhem?
One of my favourite movies
The perfect tribute to the late Sir Sean Connery
This is one of my favorite War movies. However you missed a few kills.
Do behind enemy lines 2001
7:52 Most ill-fated units of all; the Polish regiment. Their landing zone was too far too close to the Nazi occupied area.
