Theyre already here..started with the millenials..one moron girl told me she dont watch anything that isnt color...thank goodness theyre colorizing some old footage
True it's happening now today , I was born in 1967 my mom & Dad told me so much , even the ration books people had for food in the aftermath of ww2 and even schools are forgetting this sad sad event , ww2 will and should never be forgotten ❤🎉🙏 you
Everyone will be forgotten. Them,you,me. In another ten thousand years people will forget even the most unforgettables as well - like Alexder the great, Hitlar , Gandhi all of them
If the demonrat democrats have their way it will be forgotten! They are are trying to cancel our history through the schools and our culture! They are trying to rewrite history and fill it with their evil lies!
They fought well, yes, but there isnt a "greatest generation." You see, these men were great soldiers. They followed the orders of their commanders to a T. They then grew up and became commanders themselves...and lead the Korean and Vietnam wars...which were terrible. There isnt a greatest generation.
These pictures of our Amazing American Military make me Thankful and Grateful to be a Baby Boomer Thank you all for you're ❤️ sacrifice and being an American Hero❤❤❤❤
As a veteran, I salute all veterans who served back then for our freedom, who fell on and off the battlefield, who are serving, and future veterans in the making. Thank you for your service From a scottish veteran
@nukeacola7423 Thank you for your message and such lovely words. All veterans should be respected for their service, even more the ones that fell on the battlefield fighting for our freedom.
My late grandfather was there in the European theater. He landed in Normandy, moved through France, and with Patton's tank battalion, fought in the battle of the bulge. He was one of the reasons why I chose to serve in the military as well. My wife is still serving to this day.
IM. A STUDENT OF HISTORY.... THESE PICTURES ARE TOUCHING MY HEART. MY FATHER AND OLDER BROTHER SERVED...MY DAD...WW2.. MY BROTHER VIETNAM... BOTH ARE GONE NOW LIKE SO MANY OTHERS .. I THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR THEM..... DAYS GONE BY. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOYR BRAVE SERVICE..... MY HUSBAND SERVED IN AFGHANISTAN. AND GOD BROUGHT HOM BACK HOME ALIVE.... THANK YOU JESUS!!!
The average GI was about 20, from a small town and had never traveled more than 100 miles from home, until he went to war. He went off as a kid and returned an old man. One man I knew personally, after serving in Europe for over three years, stepped of the train in his small GA town, located the only taxi stand, who took him to the family farm at no cost. He knocked on the door, his daddy "made a light," lit a lantern, opened the door to find his son standing there. The wife of my friend had moved in with his family; she heard the commotion and ran downstairs and into his arms. After an hour or so, they all went to bed. He slept in the room with his younger brother. His wife with her sister in law. The next day, after a hearty breakfast, he hitched the mule up and turned the north field, after first feeding the cows. After all, it was time to plant and those cows needed feeding. One must make hay while the sun shines.
Regarding the man who I mentioned in the previous comment, I have asked him, as well as other World War II men, how long they had been over there, whether European or Pacific theater. Practically to a man, they all knew the exact number of years, months and down to the days. This particular man, plus another man who fought in the Pacific Theatre were offered a chance to go back to Normandy for the 40th anniversary celebration or to visit Guadalcanal and Japan, for the man who fought in the Pacific Theatre. They could bring their wife or another family member, all expenses paid. They both turned it down. I think I know the reason why. If they could not talk about it 40 years later without crying what would they do if they were back standing on the same beach where they saw other men being blown in half? Five of these old men, all D-Day veterans, attended the movie Saving Private Ryan. There's a scene or two in the movie where after the front of the Higgins boat goes down the Germans opened up with machine guns and mowed the men down before they even had a chance to step off the ramp. There's another scene where a German 88 mm shell hits a Higgins boat and blows it up. Quoting my friend Mr. Kaiser, "The Germans had those 88 mm cannons zeroed in on the beach so tight they could drop a round in a helmet. All I could do is dig as deep as I could without striking water and pray, 'oh God get me out of here."' During the most graphic scenes, and others, two of my friends had to leave the theater and go into the men's room to weep. Keep in mind these scenes are reenactments of actual scenes and events that went on that day. When it showed a man being blown to pieces and thrown through the air, that kind of stuff really happened. Some of the bravest of the men were combat photographers, risking their life. In a span of a few hours, the film was back at the ships, being developed and screened by the brass. They had to know what was going wrong and what was going right. They had planned to release some of the film to the public as a morale booster. When the brass saw the film, they immediately ordered it to be thrown overboard. "If the mothers and fathers see what is happening to their boys, they will demand we give the Germans anything they want to end this war." Whether or not any of it was kept and is stored away in some vault somewhere, who knows? What we see in old movies and on the news reels of the day is a very sanitized version. There is a scene in the movie that shows a soldier walking on the beach, disoriented and in shock, with a blown off arm tucked under his other arm. One of my friends swears he saw that man. If you want a good book about the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, I strongly recommend Flags of Our Fathers. It is an account written by the son of one of the men in the famous photo. He follows lives of every man in the photo and what happened to them. Some wanted to take advantage of the notoriety, whereas his daddy refused to talk about it.
My father a purple heart recipient, wounded at the Battle of the Bulge. His war time experiences shaped his life. He was happily married for forty years, raised three children i'm one of them.He Passed away at the ripe old age of eighty six. God bless the woman and men of the greatest generation.
I love these clips! My grandfather landed in Normandy on d day and fought in many battles including the battle of the bulge. These clips bring a tear to me eye.
These are stark reminders of the bravery that encompassed many but fled in a instant. Thank you for your grandfather and so many like him. Did he make it home after the war?
Yes I believe it. It was told to me that our boys were probably equipped for that kind of weather and that was the coldest place in the world no one knows unless they were there. God bless all of them may they all rest in peace they well deserve it
Yes but remember they fought an evil most couldn't fathom. Sadly that same evil is alive and well in 2023/2024. It's only going to get worse. At least they defeated the evil of their time and got some peace restored for a brief time. I'm thankful everyday for the Greatest Generation and all veterans of wars of the recent past. If they hadn't fought the wars of yesterday I probably wouldn't be here now. Now we have to rise up against a new evil in our time. Sadly before you could recognize that evil and the ones who wanted to do you harm, present day it could very well be your neighbor smiling in your face that will later that night break in your house and kill you for whatever you have that they want. Or for those in school it could be someone you thought was a friend that you've seen day after day grade after grade, they might come in with whatever guns they can get and shoot all they can. The world has gone crazy!
@@matthewwilkes6815 the world has gone crazy and yes, I do understand that we owe those men a great debt, but they still arent the "greatest generation" simply because each generation faces different oppositions. They fought WW2, yes, but they fought through the direction of their fathers. If a generation were to truly be "great" it would be the leaders of WW2 that brought the win, not the boots on the ground following the orders. You see, those same boots grew up and lead other wars...wars such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War, both of which were losses or major upsets. BAD ones. Meaning the leadership was bad.
Yes indeed it's heartbreaking I can't hardly stand to watch it. Wondering which one of those getting back home and which one of those didn't. And for those that came back home name the war for the rest of their life. This country( this country) owes a debt to the veterans that they can never pay.
My grandfather told me during WW2 Japanese came into our province toused babies in the air and trust their bayonet as they descend..... Thank you all for your sacrifice....really..... Freedom is not free!❤❤❤❤
Does anyone else get a pain in their heart when you see these pictures. What those men and women sacrificed for our freedom now. And look at the state of our country. It’s a disgrace to those men and women who gave their lives for us!!!
the pictures speaks a lot of painful emotions,the struggles,and lives were truly sacrifice for the sake of costly " freedom" rip beautiful heroes,u are well remembered forever, im so proud all of u,!!!
Napaka swerte ng mga taong naisilang ng 90's hindi nila naranasan ang mga nara-nasan ng mga tao nung world war 1 and 2....pero kahit na ganun ang mga tao ang lugar na sa larawan na iyan ay nag papatunay na gaano kahirap ang kanilang dinanas para lang makamit ang kalayaan na tinatamasa natin ngayun.... naiiyak ako habang tumitingin sa mga larawan na iyan naiisip ko kung gaano kahirap ang kanilang pinag daanan para sa kalayaan
I have watched a dozen of your vids over a few days. You just earned yourself a new sub. The slow fade away of the soldiers or crumbling buildings brings my tears down... Love your work!
Dios es poder . El hombre buscó el poder en el hombre . Lo encontró. Y lo más utilizo . Dios terminó usando su poder y lo arregló. Fue sutil y gentil . Al crear personas . Que con el arte de motivación del Alma. Atraves de estas imágenes. Muestra el empuje de las personas por mostrar la buena voluntad del poder de Dios por cambiar y arreglar nuestras faltas . Dios quiere. Que usemos el poder de buena forma .porque en el Prójimo está dios y veremos el verdadero poder el poder de dios .
Gloria Eterna a esta gran generación de los valientes soldados que lucharon incansablemente en la 2 Guerra mundial y la demás Guerra por la democracia y libertad e igualdad de una mejor vida
Is am a student of PG history, I cannot explain how heartwarming these photos are. A mirror of horrific, destructive yet courageous times. Men went to war knowing they won't make it back home but they went and that's heroic. Whenever I reach this part of history while studying my eyes mostly stay wet and something they just pour. Reading about all those tragic events at the eastern front, at the western front, in Africa, in Asia and in the Pacific. I really wish to see all this. I want to see those young men in their late teens and young 20s fighting I want to see those night witches I want to see the beach landings I want to see everyone and everything. I can keep on writing................
I'm so sad when I look at these photos,but so greatful for those who served and saved us.Being jewish I have much love for each of you veterans. SHALOM
@thehistoryexplorer She definitely had classic PTSD but resilience is the most important trait in living with PTSD. She had resilience in spades. It wasn't until I grew up & got over myself that I recognized & appreciated all that she went through, even losing relatives in concentration camps. She lived to be 97 to spite everyone.
The futility of war. These photos are extremely emotion provoking. Thank goodness I never had to suffer this and I hope one day we can prevent this insanity.
Hi, am from Tamil Nadu. All then and now clippings and the music can collaps my soul and heart. I salute you. No words to say anything❤❤❤❤🤝🫂🫂🫂💟💟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lol you are pretty naive aren’t you. Its the wars that brings inventions and moves us forward if it had not been for all the wars throughout history we probably still be living in caves. Sad but true
Actually, mankind developed their skills on mechanical fields and other electric devices. Eventhough the wars are tragic, we humans have developed massively due to the wars.
Hard times create Strong Men - Strong men create good times - you no the rest... These clips are absolutely fantastic mate....never forget these heroes.
I make a promise today..to show these videos to my young daughters...I will tell them what these brave men did...so my girls generations could be free..To think these men cared about us...before we were born....Lets all reading these comments make a promise to share with the young people in our lives...Thankyou
I'm amazed at all of your pictures. Its like nothing ever happened, the way everything was restored to its original. But believe me, the world will never forget, never!
Sad that all those people died for the world to be in a shit state. I'm sure my great grandfather would of had seconds thoughts on going to war and dying for the world we have now!
I hear you brother but they fought for their brothers to the left and right of them. My great Grandfather landed on Normandy and I know that he fought and bled because his brothers did the same
These beautiful photographic comparisons are very moving. It's up to us to record who we are and our roles in this world. Photos such as these should be shared with the coming generations.
I don’t know how and why but every time I watch these pictures Im engulfed by the bravery and fear of everyone living, fighting and dying in these era.
Sadly the younger generations have forgotten the fallen heros. No matter what country they come from. Lest we forget 😢this message should be told to them 😢😢
I live in Normandy and each of these videos gives me the shivers because every time I see the name of a town I know and can go to. Thank you to all these soldiers for their courage and sacrifice ! 🙏
A lot of people don’t know their history on how men like us fought and died for our freedom and changed the world as we now know today but this song fits perfectly and don’t change it
You are doing a wonderful job, in my opinion, you are taking us to the past and to the peace of the present, which we must guard with suspicion, Thank you
I love these please keep up the great work it is appreciated you see the devastation caused by evil and then how we help them rebuild their countries is just inspiring
What's sad is, there will be generations that won't know what happened or won't even care.
Hopefully videos like this can be shared with them.
Theyre already here..started with the millenials..one moron girl told me she dont watch anything that isnt color...thank goodness theyre colorizing some old footage
Its so unreal liem it is impossible to happen but i see it so it must, it happened
But is unbelieveble
True it's happening now today , I was born in 1967 my mom & Dad told me so much , even the ration books people had for food in the aftermath of ww2 and even schools are forgetting this sad sad event , ww2 will and should never be forgotten ❤🎉🙏 you
Well until history repeats they will.
Years later these men will be gone but they will never be forgotten
Everyone will be forgotten. Them,you,me. In another ten thousand years people will forget even the most unforgettables as well - like Alexder the great, Hitlar , Gandhi all of them
If the demonrat democrats have their way it will be forgotten! They are are trying to cancel our history through the schools and our culture! They are trying to rewrite history and fill it with their evil lies!
❤
I think we're the last generation to ever talk to them
The music really brings your emotions into play. Without it, I don’t think the impact would be as great. Very touching!
Thanks you!
Yes! The title song is from the series "The Pacific". If you haven't seen it I strongly recommend that you do.
Yes..the music gives that melancholy feeling to these heroic pictures
God imagine if Normandy never happened?
Bu görüntüde geçmişin izleri var onlar seni etlilemedide müzikmi etkiledi
The sadness that these beautiful photos emits is insane!
Doesn’t it just!
I was born end of the 60s. These pictures remind me of all the stories my mom told me about the terrible years of war. Thank you for uploading.
Very emotional. It is easy to understand why they become known as the Greatest Generation. God Bless them all.
They fought well, yes, but there isnt a "greatest generation." You see, these men were great soldiers. They followed the orders of their commanders to a T.

It's incredible when you take a minute to think of all of the things such normal places have seen
As a veteran, I salute all veterans who served back then for our freedom, who fell on and off the battlefield, who are serving, and future veterans in the making.

Когда вижу такие видео слезы сами на глаза наворачиваются...
Я согласен с вами! От нас тоже останутся только воспоминания и несколько фотографий 🤝
Заметьте, с каким трепетом и любовью восстановлено всё до последнего камешка.
Remembering "Joe" And His M1 ... To All You GIs , And Uncle Tony , Thank You ! You Are Not Forgotten !

Wow, what a story and legacy. You must be very proud
I had two uncles in the Battle of the Bulge. They truly were of The Greatest Generation.

It brings tears to my eyes
I know what you mean
Me too.
Met a guy who was in Bastogne for the battle. Said it was absolute hell on earth in the winter of '44-'45
Winter of 44 is widely considered as an absolute beast. Terrible weather, lots of rain followed by very low temperatures
Yes I believe it. It was told to me that our boys were probably equipped for that kind of weather and that was the coldest place in the world no one knows unless they were there. God bless all of them may they all rest in peace they well deserve it
It now seems a hundred years ago ,so many good people died for what we have today 😔it's heartbreaking 🙏
Hätten sich nicht alle eingemischt würde die welt eventuell heute besser aussehen
It is almost 100 years ago. WW2 started in the late 1930s.

My little momma was from Aachen & they fled to Belgium as 90% of her hometown was bombed out. She was one of the most resilient people I knew.
Yes Aachen was badly damaged with some very severe fighting
@thehistoryexplorer She definitely had classic PTSD but resilience is the most important trait in living with PTSD. She had resilience in spades. It wasn't until I grew up & got over myself that I recognized & appreciated all that she went through, even losing relatives in concentration camps. She lived to be 97 to spite everyone.
That spot in the first picture,stood in total loneliness all through the decades that came & went by.... Touching
Salute to Martyrs of Motherland
the time had left its memories...of love discovery and hope'.....💖💖💖💖🌻🌻🌻📹🎬🎉
The futility of war. These photos are extremely emotion provoking. Thank goodness I never had to suffer this and I hope one day we can prevent this insanity.

Super background music. It reminds me of past and my youth.
Just imagine what mankind could accomplish if there were no wars.
💯
Lol you are pretty naive aren’t you. Its the wars that brings inventions and moves us forward if it had not been for all the wars throughout history we probably still be living in caves. Sad but true
Actually, mankind developed their skills on mechanical fields and other electric devices. Eventhough the wars are tragic, we humans have developed massively due to the wars.
The greatest most courageous generation of all. They deserve our appreciation and deep respect.
Many respects 🇧🇪 from 🇬🇧

I'm amazed at all of your pictures. Its like nothing ever happened, the way everything was restored to its original.
But believe me, the world will never forget, never!
Ahhh,,,C-rations. Brings back memories.
Ha! Nostalgia
Sad that all those people died for the world to be in a shit state. I'm sure my great grandfather would of had seconds thoughts on going to war and dying for the world we have now!
I hear you brother but they fought for their brothers to the left and right of them.
My great Grandfather landed on Normandy and I know that he fought and bled because his brothers did the same
@@legolas182735 I know it was the right thing to do at the time.
Wow what a comment, thank you. 🙏
Excelentes imágenes!!!!
Thank you very much
I just love these before and after. It gives me a visual of how it really was in war time. Thank you. Don’t stop showing them.
I never involved with that tragic, but im still crying.
Please bring freedom and peace to this world
These beautiful photographic comparisons are very moving. It's up to us to record who we are and our roles in this world. Photos such as these should be shared with the coming generations.
You are doing a really good job.... Greetings from Poland…..🍻🙋🏻♂️
Time will heal everything..
Our Heroes. We owe them everything..we shall never ever forget!!!!
These videos would not be the same without the great background music. True classic🎉🎉🎉
God bless all of these Great Men and their families.
I wish these videos would of been around when my grandpa was alive! Rest in peace grandpa
Great pictures very well done plus the music is just beautiful
I don’t know how and why but every time I watch these pictures Im engulfed by the bravery and fear of everyone living, fighting and dying in these era.
Sadly the younger generations have forgotten the fallen heros. No matter what country they come from. Lest we forget 😢this message should be told to them 😢😢
Благодарю за исторический экскурс! Привет из России🎉
Really lovely. Thanks so much.
My pleasure!
I live in Normandy and each of these videos gives me the shivers because every time I see the name of a town I know and can go to.
Thank you to all these soldiers for their courage and sacrifice ! 🙏
A lot of people don’t know their history on how men like us fought and died for our freedom and changed the world as we now know today but this song fits perfectly and don’t change it
Every one of these "Then & Now" videos are so AWESOME! I LOVE them!
So sad if they can back to that time. But almost all of the soldier have pass away. God Bless Of Them
You are doing a wonderful job, in my opinion, you are taking us to the past and to the peace of the present, which we must guard with suspicion, Thank you
Brilliant comment. Thank you for sharing
I'm a very curious person and I like that we saw the people who used to walk on those places before we were born. I'm glad I found your channel ❤
