My great grandfather fought at Omaha. He was shot when the doors dropped. He didn’t even put a single foot on the beach. R.I.P Mateo Westward 1919-1944
My dad was on the second wave at Omaha beach. Thank you dad, and all of those young men. I will never forget what all of you have given us. Thank you Lawrence D. Blanscet 4/5/1923 9/29/2017 R.I.P.
Nick Gur He never spoke about the war much. I know he was wounded at Omaha. When I would ask him something about it “ the war” he would always say, “ the heroes are still over there.”
My grandfather served in WW2 and stormed the beaches of Omaha on D-day. If he ever told stories of the war, I would always ask what it was like on that day. And he'd always tell me he'd say when I was old enough to handle it. When I was at the age he deemed acceptable he sat me down during a visit and told me his story of Omaha. He was 19 at the time. And was in the back of row of soldiers in front of him. He was apart of the second wave of soldiers to come in and though scared, he was fighting for his country and for my grandmother who was waiting for him back home. While approaching the beaches there were explosions in the water, as well as distant explosions inland and bullets zipped by every so often getting more frequent as they got closer. He said the sound was comparable to a mosquito flying past your ear repeatedly. When they finally got inland they were met with a barrage of bullets hitting them. He said the man in the front left of the row of soldiers was shot clean in the eye. The man in front of him was gunned down and fell back onto him causing him to slip and fall into the crowd of the fresh bodies. Only him and two others made it out of the boat. He managed to get out by waiting for the right time to move while under the bodies and the other two simply got lucky. He said the entire time they were on the beach all he could hear was carnage, constant screaming, bullets barely missing him. Brothers in arms being gunned down next to him while he moved up. He said that one of the men he had met before the morning d-day had made it up with him. And before they could even make some sort of communication he was shot in the chest multiple times before dying shortly after. A man behind him was blown in half. He said he saw a man crawling to some sort of safety after his leg was blown off only to be shot just before getting behind cover. Eventually, as the fighting went on, word got around of an opening and with due time fighting died down and by the end of the day he was in a safe position. He says that he could hear men crying, some were in the fetal position wishing they never signed up while others just stared blankly while they tried to handle what they just went through. He was relieved to be safe though he said he couldn't stop shaking until the next afternoon. My grandfather died in 2012. He was a good man.
@Davdfromhouston That's WWI, but either way, its still something we should do. I'm sure all who served were doing it for their countries and families, not the twisted bs hateful Hitler spewed out. Is a tragedy
@Unironic Cloud Shrug Your grandfather sounded like an amazing man, brave and strong, its terrible what happened to someone many young boys who were fighting for justice, and the end to bigotry and genocide.
Spanish Montana I wanna say yes, but at the same time they were just common soldiers. If anything, navy seals go through some crazy training. But yes, it would suck to train for a long time and just get shot the second the door opened.
Maybe not? They were hoping for bombardment to have been successful and tanks to be effective. But that failed, so the mission became suicide. I guess?
Sync Audio This shows you how countries don't care about their soldiers These casualties could have easily been avoided But hey who cares, as long as the big guys above fill their pockets
Joe Atkins This. It always scares me to think about what this horrible event must've been for these brave, young Soldiers. May their heroic souls Rest In Peace.
I can only imagine what a terrifying experience that must have been. Those brave young men facing enormous odds. Many killed before even stepping on the beach. Brave, brave men.
I'd say the luckiest soldiers at Omaha were the ones who were either killed before they set foot on the beach and the ones who survived and got to make it home. The ones who were killed in the middle with all the bombs going off were the most unlucky IMO.
@@NateCooperino I'm talking about a mindset that's left us. Most of those guys were the age of the little whiners we have now who cry over a poster they don't like.
@@NateCooperino Let’s send the safe spacers in and see how long they last. Glad there were men back then because we would lose the war today with the people we have now.
At Omaha beach, US soldiers had the greatest difficulties in achieving their objective. The price they paid on this beach, rightfully earned it the nickname …. ‘Bloody Omaha’. With the 75th D-Day Anniversary earlier this month, we wanted to make a episode on the most bloodiest beach, Omaha. What other D-Day topics do you want to see? Airborne landings, the other beaches, Norman Cota, DD tanks etc.
None of my ancestors fought in D-Day, because I am Russian, they fought on the Eastern front. But this is just next level massacre. R.I.P. to all those who fought in D-Day and especially Omaha Beach. You will always be remembered!
You have my respect as I do have for all of the fallen Russian soldiers on eastern front rather we are know I still see us as brothers. This is love from America 🇺🇸.
My dad’s uncle survived Omaha, he was the first line of soldiers on the beach, he was very lucky to have survived. After the war he got a wife, I never got to meet him but I will always know the sacrifices they made. That war pretty much saved the world.
Mine wasn't so lucky he got gunned down 5 feet away from the boats ramp unfortunately he wasn't accounted for until his brother found his rittled body. He was only 19
Except it was a rainy day day in Saving Private Ryan, it was a sunny day. The only REAL rain were the bullets of the turrets shot down on the soldiers.
Apparently the scene where the soldiers are drowning in the water and are trying to get their gear off but then get shot by the MG42 bullets is inaccurate because the bullets only go a foot underwater. But yes other than that it was a very accurate scene to that of D-day
Sam the mg42 was more accurate than any American weapon germans have the best weapon throughout the war even in Vietnam they were still being used not so much by Americans but they still work well but they we're only in the start of Vietnam and middle
dragon greek He is saying the scene is inaccurate not the gun . He's saying the seen where there are soldiers are drowning five feet underwater then machine gun bullets are ripping through it , bullets do not do this in water because of friction even at point blank above sea level with a rifle a bullet would not go through a foot or two of water with enough force to penetrate the skin . The Germans definitely had some good machine guns in ww2 , if they didn't it possibly wouldn't have been a world war all to much .
dragon greek That isn’t even accurate my mans, the US army did testing during WW2 using German and American weapons, they aren’t more accurate than American weapons, they just spit lead faster. More bullets fired /=/ more accurate
My great grandfather served on D-Day. He survived it and was sadly captured by German soldiers😔but he was thankfully rescued. He eventually after the war had a disease that made him paralyzed from the waste down. He died when my mom was in 6th grade.( he died from the disease). My mom said he never talked about it. Thank you to everyone including my great grandfather who fought for freedom on that terrible day. 🙏🏽
traditionalist man no they didn’t, the weather was too foggy to see any targets. The German positions were supposed to be bombed before all this happened but they missed
Even though bombers missed their targets, 2 out of 29 tanks landed, soldiers landed further from the beach causing a high chance of drowning and exposed to MG42s, they were still able to secure the beach. Much respect to these brave soldiers
Flew to Paris alone. Rented a car and drove out west to stay in Caen. The following day I visited a German POW cemetary. Next, I headed to Normandy to visit the sea of crosses. I also literally walked on the beaches till sundown. I also visited the bunkers at Pointe Du Hoc. Being inside these bunkers all alone and in silence was eerie. Still, Being alone in all these places brought so much pain in my heart and it was so moving to have visited these places all alone with nothing but with thoughts of what occured in these places. It was a beautiful and moving trip.
There were still Germans in Italy when Italy surrendered and switched sides, and since the Germans managed to push the Allied forces back out of Italy, D-Day was the second chance, so no, Italy has no right to say that. By the way, before someone r/whooshes me, let me just say I was just pointing it out.
Imagine being the first man to see the unprotected gap and breach in. Maybe if he never saw that everyone on that sector would be dead. Massive respect to all veterans, true heroes ✊🏻🙏🏻🥲
Soldiers: U destroyed the strongpoints with ur bombs and stuffs?? Tanks and Planes: Well yea about that uh *heheh* no.... Me: Best scene in Saving Private Ryan: when Miller says “Angels on our shoulders” reference to the P 51 Mustang planes
They did succeed in putting craters in farmland, maybe blew up a farmhouse and some cows nd sheep, still, sometimes the weather is the deciding factor. Especially with old school radar and using mostly sight like they had to back then
@Walter the science man My grandfather was a american 101st airborne , he was one of the very few who survived , and his friends died before they could even reach the ground.
My great grandfather fought in d day and he was the only Person of his platoon too survive the attack and my grandfather my dads dad was in the Vietnam war
My great-grandfather served in D-Day and i wish i could of meet him i have so many questions and i wish i could of thanked him for his service while he was alive thank you for all who have served and thank you for your sacrifice
Me as a German feel sorry for my Grandfather and his enemies 😔 (An American solider burned him and his comrades in a Bunker on D Day but i don’t know whitch beach ) Both sides fought for they’re Believes but in the end freedom won and That’s the reason why i live !
My Dad's late cousin found himself on Omaha Beach on D-day. (We're all Canadian) He would talk quietly about it. He always reminded anyone listening, that he was frightened, but he had to carry on. He lived to his mid 90's.
@PATTON I'm not American nor Indian, but from an economic perspective, India is suffering from poverty and corruption, USA has a massive economy and a qualitative army, India doesn't have the best army but it has a massive army USA: Quality=Quantity India: Quality
Tony Peppermint though the film is incorrect at first. German defenses, bunkers to be specific, are put horizontally and only aim sideways. This arrangement follows the crossfire tactic and inflict the most kills with the least bullet fired(you can see pictures of them on the naval invasion of Dieppe)
+supergamersbro No. The Marines have always been a department of the Navy, completely separate from the Army. But during WW2 the Air Force was part of the Army though.
My grandad fought in D Day and landed at Gold (he was british) - his platoon made great progress up the beach - I remember him telling me the stories of him in the war when I was 6 and then the week later he died with my hand in his hand - RIP Thomas Sherratt 💙🇬🇧🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇦
@G E T R E K T 905 You say that like you're mocking the blind ambition toward military service, but the second world war wasn't fought for no reason you know.
I fully watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time and this is horrifying to even look back to. The people in front and middle when the doors dropped were killed instantly and thousands of shots were fired right when other soldiers reached shore! The movie was very descriptive and did a lot of effort correlating back to the D-Day invasion. If I ever celebrate Memorial Day again, I will make sure D-Day will be one of the most urgent things that I will heavily remember that got us where we are today, a better home and place.
@@johnadams1281 they didn’t the soviets got to Berlin first and then Hitler killed himself the major turning point of the war was Stalingrad that defeated the myth of the German invisibility.
Me too buddy, only problem is that we are on internet and there’s a considerable chance of people inventing stories for likes, I hope it doesn’t happen, pretty sad if people exploit such heroes for likes
I don’t think they’ll be resting in peace as their heads legs and arms were blown off and shot, their last moments being pain and despair watching all their friends ignore them as they die
My great uncle was on Omaha Beach on D-Day. He survived, but a lot of the guys in his unit didn't. When he was on the Higgins boat taking him to the beach, he threw his bipod over the deck to lighten his load. His commanding officer threatened to court martial him for it, but he got killed that day. I only met my uncle a few times in my life, but I hold absolute respect for him for what he went through during the war, especially that day.
It's kind of random if you'd survive. That's the scariest part. No matter how prepared or good you are won't help you if a bullet randomly flies at you

My grandpa served in Normandy and lived to tell the tale. I salute all those that have served in the Allies during WW2, you have saved civilization. Thank you to those that have served in the US Army for your service
i cant be the only one who is nearly in tears. My god these men suffered the worst fate and they fought good and hard. May all those who lost their lives rest easy.

My granddad fought on sword beach. He only survived because he fainted from a serious case of seasickness. When he awoke after a 15 minutes and got three headshots from the boat.

@@SandvichTrolli48 That's right. The Marines were busy in the Pacific Theatre.
+supergamersbro No. The Marines have always been a department of the Navy, completely separate from the Army. But during WW2 the Air Force was part of the Army though.
The Marine Corps was small compared to the Army besides that the marines were too busy hopping island to island in the Pacific.
To the fallen men at Omaha and Utah beach. Their courageous sacrifice, and valor will not be forgotten.

Yeah and Rommel was the only one who suspected it. Hence why with his stubborness, Hitler ended up placed him here.
I fully watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time and this is horrifying to even look back to. The people in front and middle when the doors dropped were killed instantly and thousands of shots were fired right when other soldiers reached shore! The movie was very descriptive and did a lot of effort correlating back to the D-Day invasion. If I ever celebrate Memorial Day again, I will make sure D-Day will be one of the most urgent things that I will heavily remember that got us where we are today, a better home and place.
If there's one scene from that film I always remember, it's the D-Day opening
It’s not just the USA did most of the work it was the Soviet Union that actually defeated the German army.

@Roland Roland or does it?
My great uncle was on Omaha Beach on D-Day. He survived, but a lot of the guys in his unit didn't. When he was on the Higgins boat taking him to the beach, he threw his bipod over the deck to lighten his load. His commanding officer threatened to court martial him for it, but he got killed that day. I only met my uncle a few times in my life, but I hold absolute respect for him for what he went through during the war, especially that day.
Man. I don't think I would have survived if I was there. God bless all their souls.
