Libturd tom hanks will do anything for a dollar. Real war he would be home like a pussy
With WW2 veterans largely gone I wished the producers had made a counterpart about the 82nd Airborne that had spearheaded airborne operations with botched jumps in North Africa and Sicily. In Sicily General James Gavin the 82nd's commander personally led a ragtag group of scattered soldiers against German elite Fallschirmjagers and carried the day. Like Colonel Sink the 82nd had legendary commanders like Reuben Tucker.
The only thing missing from them tanks with the soldiers standing erect on the back firing the machine gun is a 400 foot tall American flag flying on a pole.
4k… ty
that is not the blitzkrieg
People really need to think about how these scenes are filmed. The camera is always pointing in the right direction to capture the action for the viewer. Whereas in reality, one of these soldiers would have no idea exactly where most of the enemy were, or who was aiming in a particular direction just waiting for someone to step out in front of their sights etc. They were a generation of exceptionally brave men on both sides of the line. Like every soldier these men marched off to war not knowing if they would ever see their home again, and WW2 was a far more deadlier war than previous wars in many respects because the artillery and tanks were much improved.
2nd armored where expecting a counter attack so they let them have it. USA!
I like how Blithe stepped up to the plate and offered to go Point on next patrol. Then promptly was wounded. AND THEN he stayed in the army after the war. Promoted to Sgt and all.
Blithe died of his wounds.
@@jackryder-sw9rk nah. Died in 1967.
@@SuperChuckRaney Yup you are right. B of B says he died in 1948 but I did some research and yeah he died of liver failure in Germany, Thanks for setting the record straight.
@@jackryder-sw9rk the story I heard in these youtube interviews was that after the war, some guys just disappeared off the radar totally. No reunions, no Christmas cards no anything. So a lot of guys knew the "wrong" story on a lot of the OTHER guys.
I know an old combat veteran who loved battle so go figure i guess
,,OKUSA🇺🇸
240?
What kind of armor did the Germans have in this battle? Guess they weren't heavy tanks, the Shermans couldn't have blown them up with the armor they had.
This was the Battle of Carentan. The town had already been taken and American forces had set up defenses west of the town to prevent recapture by the Germans. The German High Command ordered the town retaken. On 13 June, two battalions of the 37th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment, supported by the 17th SS Panzer Battalion and the remains of the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment began their attack with 48 Stug IV assault guns. By the time the 2nd Armored Division arrived to reinforce Dog, Easy, and Fox companies of the 2/506th Parachute Infantry Regiment had already knocked out several of the Stug's with bazookas and 57mm anti-tank guns. The 2nd Armored units destroyed seven more and damaged another thirteen. Stug's are heavily armored in front but as seen when the first one was destroyed (Lt Welch and Pvt McGrath) they were vulnerable from below (the bazooka round penetrated the transmission case), and in their tracks and suspensions.
Since when are German tanks afraid of Shermans? LOL
The two battalions of the 37th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment were not that experienced and had already suffered losses due to bazookas and 57mm anti-tank guns. They were disoriented by the hedgerows and either exposed their weak points or fled in their confusion. The Shermans managed to destroy seven of the Stug IV's and damaged thirteen more.
German soldiers died: all Usa soldiers died: 0 Very realistic.....omg
9:30 in the evening back home? If that were the case they would be fighting at 2:30 am.
wht mon
今の時代、映画の通りではないにしろ、ウクライナを見て、常にある意味覚悟が必要かもね
Watching this in all its low res glory was glorious
We all know the results of WW2, but I've always been amazed at how much more advanced Germany was compared to the rest of the world. Thank God Hitler was stopped from his Wicked plans
“Who gave that order?” Maybe the butt load of German tanks advancing over the line?
NEVER TAKE COVER, that's the german #1 doctrine
American army usa soy fan y deseo lindas cosas mientras otras perso as les desea el mal
Why does 3:13 sound like the same voice acting line for us army in coh2
Makes me wonder why the German assault guns didn’t shift fire on the Shermans. Would have gone through them like butter. Especially the Jagdpanther.
Several reasons. The elements of the 37th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment had already lost several of their Stug IV's to bazookas and 57mm guns. The relatively inexperienced troops had also become disoriented in the maze of hedgerows. They had become easy picking by the time the 2nd Armored arrived, as they managed to destroy seven and damage another thirteen Stug's before gaining the upper hand.

Amis sind immer Heden, Deutsche immer böse. Alles ist nur lächerlich!!!
Idiots !
War is hell. One moment, the enemy is being routed and you are charging down trying to take advantage of your superiority in numbers and firepower and you are taking light casualties, and the next moment enemy reinforcement arrive and suddenly you find yourself out gunned in the open and you are the one being routed and taking heavy casualties. And it really isn't your fault and there is nothing you can do about it. Your body is going to eat metal and you are going to die because of bad luck.
The rifle that won the war
Pure Ami propaganda...so bad
Yo me pregunto si eran tan estrategicos e intiligentes al9s tigres ¿ por que no escuadrones de8 bazocas o es caro mas caro que la vida?¿?¿ 🤔

It allows one to imagine the formidable power of the blitzkrieg of 1940-1942 when it was implemented in Europe by a powerful Wehrmacht with air supremacy. What is depicted here is a small blitzkrieg of an exhausted Wehrmacht without air support.
But, they Shot them in the back while they were running away…how mean, should be war crimes…🤪. Good ole Easy company…gotta love’em
Men, so eager and willing to kill other men.
Those stugs tanks would have ate those Sherman tanks for lunch
In many cases they did but they were still defeated by mass production capabilities in America
@Brian Peterson the German tanks were stretched very thin battling 2 fronts from the east and west
They can't penetrate a Jagdpanther pointing down, but it sure as hell won't stay alone against 4-5 Shermans that close range lol. Due to the bocage this is actually a semi or full realistic scenario.< It's not a "Blitzkrieg" though. That is a strategic/operational thing, fast armor units - limited mechanized and combined arms - spearhead far ahead of convoy lines, motorized come after. The goal is to encircle large parts of a static enemy or otherwise be much faster than the retreating enemy,
Try to imagine that the effeminate, cowardly POS that make up the 'left wing base' today was the 18 to 26 generation in 1941. Once they got through crying and running for their safe spaces and then for an neutral country, Germany and Japan would have taken over the world. These ungrateful pieces of shit have no idea what the greatest generation sacrificed, so they could support communism; socialism, and just generally being a generation of total pussies.
Quality is so poor it's unwatchable
Father in law was in 2nd wave at Omaha . Saw Saving Private Ryan with him. His job was to string the communication wire up and down the beach. He was a violin and music teacher before the war so the Army thought he would do well with handling the wire b/c of the dexterity of his fingers. He said the only problem was he hated heights and had to climb poles to string wire at times. Asked him about the beach landing scene. He said it was that bad and worse. He was very quiet after the movie. Sure it brought back memories he would have liked to have forgot. He did tell of passing a bomb crater where several soldiers were. When he came back that way a short time later they were all dead. I would recommend reading D-Day by Stephen Ambrose. It is probably the most detailed account of the D-Day landing. Incredible what those men/boys went through. Twenty-two year olds commanding full companies.
The ugliest cylinder proximally guarantee because pruner inspiringly spare since a foamy alcohol. testy, icy cushion
Respect Germans🇩🇪 From Japan
The spiteful sardine neurophysiologically check because death lily sparkle absent a half pancake. yielding, absorbed east
Dog and fox retreated and easy stayed in the fight 👌 that’s hardcore
Probably just me but I don't think any further editing to this scene was required. Don't know if youtoob is forcing people to cut things to pieces or if it's just a case of look what I can do.
As one who served in the Marines in the 80s and 90s. May war never come and that which we all hope for. PEACE.
"SHAKE CAMERA FOR EFFECT" "YES SIR!"
