The incredible bravery shown by 1st Lt Jimmie W Monteith is the stuff of legend. On D-Day, 6 June 1944, near Colleville-sur-Mer, France. 1st Lt. Monteith landed with the initial assault waves. According to his Medal of Honor citation he "moved up and down the beach reorganizing men for further assault. He then led the assault over a narrow protective ledge and across the flat, exposed terrain to the comparative safety of a cliff. Retracing his steps across the field to the beach, he moved over to where 2 tanks were buttoned up and blind under violent enemy artillery and machinegun fire. Completely exposed to the intense fire, 1st Lt. Monteith led the tanks on foot through a minefield and into firing positions"
The beat of the brave heart of Virginia was brought to a tragic end in the green fields of France.
Jimmie W. Monteith now rests in the American Cemetery in Normandy, a fallen hero among many. His cross is emblazoned with a golden star and the inscription “Medal of Honor.”
The medal would be delivered to his mother during a simple ceremony in her home. She placed it next to a picture of Jimmie she kept on her mantel.

No thanks
Hey yarnhub, have u guys thought about a video on the swedish c47 that got shot down by a russian mig and the rescue operations that soon followed??
Where?
I miss when you guys uploaded every Friday. It made me excited to get home so i could get a cold drink and sit and watch your videos.
Yes sir
I see Yarnhub made the same mistake as Spielberg. Those wooden logs in the water are facing the wrong direction. They were used to flip landing craft over and sometimes had spikes/blades to tear holes in the craft, or mines to blow them up. Funnily enough the game he is plugging (Enlisted, which is a great game) models the fortifications on D-Day correctly.
Weren't they known as 'Rommel's asparagus?'
@@johndavies1090 yes, and those asterisk shaped things are called Czech hedgehogs
Its not about those damn things its about a guy who was a war hero so i think you should shut it.
Do we care?
@@vacmaster-uf5vk Not a really but a mistake is a mistake
my great grandfather, Bill Cool, actually was active on d-day, on utah beach. the day after, he was resting in a farm house when a german tank shot the house. my great grandfather woke up with several layers of wall and a german tank shell laying on his chest, that had failed to explode. the news article was titled “Luck Didn’t Run Out For Cool”
little known story that i love telling when the subject comes up
Damn the alaram clocks back in the day were built diffrent
Yarnhub should do a video of that it would make a really good video
@@ethangreenwood7763 I have a news article with an account from him, granted the article was written in the 90s and not from the 40s when it actually happened. Also have a picture of him in said article the day of the incident
@@imperialg.s6453 fr
Your great grandfather must have god watching over him
i went to the Normany American cemetery, it was very impressive seeing all those crosses. Sadly I Havent seen 1st Lt Jimmie W Monteith's cross, that same day i also went to omaha beach. To be honest, the beach wasn't anything special. But the thought of just walking there on a peaceful beach, knowing that so many young men fought and died there, its just so surreal.
Only 2,000 of the 10,000 lost died on Omaha. French civilian casualties numbered 21,000
My grandmother is french, she used to tell me that omaha beach used to be more impressive because it still had some fortifications and the crosses to stop the tanks... now its just a normal beach
@@santiagomolano9598 they removed it cuz yeah....beach they could have kept it on for a historical site
@@santiagomolano9598 Noice
@@Symphinitystug_III Some of the defenses would eventually start rotting and there were live mines probably still present.
This one made me almost cry, the silence after he was struck was really powerful. It's a huge reminder that not all heroes get to go back home. Amazing video as always.
The only winners of war are greedy emotionally manipulative men who are secretly friends.
I think the real heroes are the ones that don't come back
Almost!?? I did :(((
Such a loss 😮💨
Wait it’s me
Most heroes lie buried in the grounds they fought on.
He was just 26 years old. It's hard to believe, but that would of been ancient compared to some of the lads. Many of whom would of been no older than 18. Sometimes even younger. When I was 18, I was at college, going out partying with friends and chasing girls. These lads fighting a world war. It's hard to think of anything more humbling.
Yeah man
True but if you asked them about it they would probably say they are glad you get to do that instead of fighting in a war. War is hell even when your on the winning side.
That's the beauty of a military draft. You get to do these things... Whether you like it or not...
???
“The Old Breed.”
Not even out of their 20s and reffed to as “Old”
I love these stories because it keeps the men alive for what they did so heroically.
You're right
Agreed, well said.
A bloody hero on a bloody battle of Normandy!
Bloody hell this video was amazing, Yarnhub! Keep it up!
Still, rest in peace for the hero. He won't be forgotten.
This beach is called, Plage d'Or, literally Gold Beach because of it's fine and soft sand that appear to have a golden layer, it's at least recomforting to know that these soldiers died on such a beautiful place and saw this sand that might have appeared heavenly for them.
Bloody bloody bloody bloody
they stories never going to be forgotten
@@Rengozaimasu And I'll make sure the German story is never forgotten

MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, near Coleville-sur-Mer, France. 1st Lt. Monteith landed with the initial assault waves on the coast of France under heavy enemy fire. Without regard to his own personal safety, he continually moved up and down the beach reorganizing men for further assault. He then led the assault over a narrow protective ledge and across the flat, exposed terrain to the comparative safety of a cliff. Retracing his steps across the field to the beach, he moved over to where 2 tanks were buttoned up and blind under violent enemy artillery and machinegun fire. Completely exposed to the intense fire, 1st Lt. Monteith led the tanks on foot through a minefield and into firing positions. Under his direction, several enemy positions were destroyed. He then rejoined his company and under his leadership, his men captured an advantageous position on the hill. Supervising the defense of his newly won position against repeated vicious counterattacks, he continued to ignore his own personal safety, repeatedly crossing the 200 or 300 yards of open terrain under heavy fire to strengthen links in his defensive chain. When the enemy succeeded in completely surrounding 1st Lt. Monteith and his unit and while leading the fight out of the situation, 1st Lt. Monteith was killed by enemy fire. The courage, gallantry, and intrepid leadership displayed by 1st Lt. Monteith is worthy of emulation. Born: July 1, 1917, Low Moor, VA. Died: June 6, 1944, Normandy, France. Place of burial: Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer, France.
WW2 was certainly the conflict that created the bravest men of all time. Respects.
My late Uncle Mick 1923 - 2018, took part in the Invasion of Normandy, in the third wave of military personnel on the 10th of June 1944. He saw things that no human should ever see, and fought all the way to Berlin, in May 1945. He always refused to talk about his experiences, I am certain he was very traumatized by what he had witnessed and lived through. Ironically he married a German woman Helene, they were together for 49 years. Amazing man.
crazy and hella brave man, one of hundreds who saved us from total disaster
and man this video was so much more interesting because of top notch animation and way of telling this story, hope seeing this have millions views in next few days : )
The moment one of the guys scream "watchout sir" my heart stop for a second.
Is so sad how he just suddenly dies out of nowhere, just like thousands of more people.
Superb job as always. Bangalore torpedo is sometimes called a 'mine' by laymen, it was designated as the 'Bangalore Torpedo', usually referred to as just 'Bangalore' in combat. Mines are designated as 'stationary explosive devices', land mines buried, and or anchored magnetic mines in water, placed and left until something triggers it. 6:19 love the detail of the Duplex Drive tanks, "Donald Ducks".
Bangalore is a city in India.
Some of the finest of Hobart's Funnies!
@@caelum2185 Yes it is where the Bangalore torpedo was engineered by Captain R. L. McClintock, of the Royal Engineers while attached to the Indian Army in 1912, to destroy mines, booby traps left over from previous wars. It was in production and use until 2017, when it was replaced by the Advanced Performance Bangalore Torpedo. 😊👍
That slow motion trench scene was amazing and that ending scene where it panned upwards. Holy shit. Keep it up Yarnhub. This one was award worthy
That almost pause as he's running back through the hedgehogs, where rounds are snapping at his feet...
@@BeingFireRetardant I know right? Yarnhubs work is only getting better and better. It really gets the gritty details right
The little water droplets on the camera when they're on the landing crafts are a great little touch! Very impressed!
That man truly led from the front. All officers should hear this story. In my 23 years in the Army I had many officers who absolutely led from the rear.
True kings stand shoulder to shoulder with their men...
Regardless of rank.
Finally, someone really made a video about those two tanks that reached the beaches, no one really talks of that, at leats that i know of, i really like to see what happened to them and their contributions
Teddy Roosevelt jr also helped D day tremendously. He rallied his troops changed the beach head. They actually landed in the wrong spot. He said it was the better beach. He was awarded the medal of Honor
"We'll start the war from here..."
I think my favorite part of yarnhub’s animations is the way he humanizes the characters. The subtle gestures and expressions make them far more believable than other animated history channels, and they feel much more lifelike too
Awesome. I just visited Normandy so its really great to see this story be told here. I want to compliment the accuracy of the land depicted as well, I couldn't tell you if every detail is exactly right but it matches what I saw.
This guy was supremely brave to do any of what he did on this day. Shame he didn't get to live a long life afterwards. Tragic. Great video.
Brilliant animation about a true hero. I've visited Omaha beach and it's a lovely sandy place which makes it hard to imagine the carnage that took place there. The cemetery is also a must and overlooks the beach - not all the casualties were buried there but you begin to understand just how many lost their lives.
A truly spectacular video, I've seen countless stories of the D-day landings, but never this, thank you for sharing this story, and as always, bravo Yarnhub
I love the slow mo shots, it really helps you understand just how bloody and hard it was for both sides
There are quite a few good stories about the men who landed at the D-Day beaches. One of which is that of Forrest Everhart. He also received a Medal of Honor, but it wasn’t for his actions during D-Day. It was awarded for actions later, during the Normandy campaign.
Have a good day
I just want to extend my compliments on how good the animation has gotten. There's a lot of detail you get into everything and it is noticed and appreciated!
A moment of silence for heroes of Omaha (and yarnhub's awesome animations too)
I cant fathom being in battle knowing there is an excellent chance you will get killed or badly injured.. The sacrifice people make is incredible
Now this is one of you’re best videos and depictions to date. The visuals and story telling are enlightening.
Me:surely Yarnhub’s animations can’t get any better
Yarnhub: and I took that personally
That slo-mo trench shot, wow. Hollywood couldn't do it any better.
Man, these animations and panoramic shots are getting crazier and crazier.
Also the writing was nothing short of poetry at the end.
Goddamn this nearly made me cry, plus the animation as well, the slow mo's and everything, beautiful
I love the cinematic look in this video. Great job as usual.
If you haven’t already done these. I suggest videos for Michael Wittmann, Hershel Woodrow Williams, Sgt Reckless, Tony Stein, John Basilone.
Just to name a few. Love the work you do. Your animators and production staff have my respect.
The heroic (true) story, your instantly recognizable voice narrating, and what I say without question; is your best video to date. This channel has gotten better and better over time. Keep it up man! Such great content!
I can't stress enough in how much your animation quality has improved with every video you made, Yarnhub.
Like those slow mo shots are just something else.
Great work🔥
3:37 Bangalore mines name originates from City of Bangalore ( Bengaluru ) India. ❤From India Yarnhub, Great work as always with accurate details : )
That was a nice documentary of one of many heroic events that taken place in Normandy France during D-Day June 6, 1944.
Outstanding video as always and great animation!!! May I suggest the Action off Bastia for future videos? It's the very first act of resistance by the Italian army against the Germans after the armistice
Awesome video Yarnhub! It’s really close to Saving Private Ryan AND I LOVE IT!
Also, I’ve been playing Enlisted for a month now, and it’s really great! The attention to detail and gameplay mechanics are truly awesome! The squad system is superb and the damage models are really good! I’m a colonel as of yesterday and main in the Battle of Berlin with my artillery and Volksturm squads! Normandy is also beautiful, tho I main in allies there
Saving Private Ryan is such a masterpiece that every video game and everything d-day related for the last 25 years has a reference to it. whether it is an hommage or just stealing.
When I went to Virginia Tech, I was a member of K Battery, the same battery as Lt Monteith and lived in the building that bore his name. I am always thrilled when people tell his story. His Medal of Honor is also hosted in the Corps of Cadet's Museum. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Never Forget.
So glad Yarnhub and others like it keep the memory of these brave outstanding men and women alive. Thank you.
I’m surprised I’ve never heard of this story, it’s very impressive what he did. Thanks for sharing the story!
Lest we forget! Freedom isn’t free but hard won with courage and selfless sacrifice. Thanks Yarn Hub for helping us remember our heroes.
And ironically, for how much America eulogize the greatest generation’s sacrifices, so many Americans are not even willing to endure expensive gas prices to support Ukraine winning their freedom.
the production value on youtube as of late has been insane. But this is the best channel I have seen so far holy crap.
I gotta say, this is one of those stories that you dont hear about very often. Bravo!
Also thanks for the Enlisted premiums!
This was an amazing story, i loved everything about it. The animation was so smooth, the voices were good, and everything about it just makes me look back and see how far Yarnhub has come. From 2d vids to 3d realistic vids. Great Job Yarnhub!
Could you do a story on my great granddad Feser? He was a sailor aboard the USS California at Pearl Harbor. He was the ship's fire control chief, and despite having both legs wounded, continued to go through the burning wreckage of the ship to save his crew mates. He fought through each battle of the Pacific theater except Guadalcanal
Jimmy Monteith from Low Moor, Va. Appears lots of Monteiths still in the surrounding areas of Low Moor. Low Moor is all rural area. My mother grew up in county next to it and I spent lots of time there in the summers visiting relatives. Beautiful country and mountains there.
The quality of these is getting so good
Thank you for such good stories and the Brillaint Animation accompanying them!👍
Wow........This fella was a true to form Captain America Character. His action was heroic beyond words. Rest in peace Super Soldier, you done well for your Country and your brothers in arms too.
The 29th Infantry Division also landed on Omaha beach too and took heavy casualties, One company that got out of their boat were wiped out by fierce fire with few survivors
I swear, each episode is better than the last, well done lads
this is your best animation yet! every week is well worth and a day maker and you guys find the best stories ever, almost out of a movie! keep great the work going!
When I went to Omaha I was very surprised to see what it really looked like. It is much different from those displayed in movies and video games.
Was like watching Saving Private Ryan. You guys even gave it a little nod as he hit the beach, Tom Hanks would be proud! 10/10
The animation has gotten better and better! Keep up the amazing work!
This video really grabbed my attention from start to finish. Has to be one of my favorites!
Whenever Yarnhub uploads I just forget everything in my life besides my love for history
I love the little details like the camera having slight drops of water on in the landing craft
3:21 Must have taken a lot of time to create such detailed art....
Nice 👌
not going to lie, sometimes when I do play Enlisted I have your voice in my head imagining my soldier/squad as the feature of one of your videos. xD
These videos of previous unheard of or rarely heard of guys that gave all in WW2 are amazing!!! God bless you for making this and God bless all of our troops past and present.
I've never heard of this man each week u make me learn something new.

Yarnhub what a great video. Very bloody and surreal. You yarnhub went above your usual videos standard. You surpassed it. Well done yarnhub. Stand up and take your victory lap. You have earned it. Bringing the battlefield to life and glory.
What an amazing man, im glad his story exists for us to experience, there must be so many incredible storys forgotten forever
You guys fell into the same Hollywood error, those wooden posts were faced in the other direction and would have had a mine attached up top. They were meant to drive up invading boats up the log.
Wow what a production. Well done Yarnhub. TH-cam recommended your channel to me when you only had around 5k subscribers and I was hooked right away. Just gets better and better with each video. Seriously well done guys! It's a good day when you release a new video. Also your other channel is fantastic, you should advertise it more on this channel!
I just know the animation is going to be great 😁
Hey yarnhub love the detail of your videos. Truly amazing
This was one of the best animation out of all the videos, the shots of Monteith running in the sand with bullets landing around him was beautiful
the quality of yarnhub's videos just keep rising,
I aspecially liked those slomo shots.
Any chance you guys are looking for more writers/researchers? Fantastic job as always YH, you never disappoint!
What a fantastic hero i am happy having by Yarnhub discovered the story 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. May he rest in peace
0:35 great attention to detail! There’s even water on the “camera”
Amazing! You guys should do Dick Winters next or the 101st airborne in Bastogne.
Greetings from the Premiere
Yar same here captain

Same
Wow 2k people came together just to watch this marvel of a video
A hero of heros. OUTSTANDING video and splendid story Yarnhub! You never cease to amaze. Keep up the tremendous work to bring REAL history to life.
the animations keep getting better and you guys nailed the water
Outstanding animation, and a great story which I'd not heard before. Such a shame that such good men had to die that we might live in freedom and relative peace..
in a year yarnhub videos are gonna look like real life
That animation, holy cow boys, that was amazing. Congrats
Godspeed, you brilliant legend.
Yarnhub's videos continue getting better and better and the narration keeps improving. I love it.
I just love how Yarnhub always makes videos about more unknown or obscure people and events. Keep up the good work! Love the quality.
Yarnhub team you have elevated your game even higher with this episode all the slow Mo shots (Chefs Kiss)
Good job yarnhub you have come a long way keep it up
That one's a gut punch. Well done as usual.
Love the videos! Keep up the best animated show there is🤟
The fact the garphics on yarnhubs videos are better then most games scares me
Amazing story. You definitely brought a tear to my eye. Great video as always. Thanks
Well guys you have done it again. 👏 The good videos don't stop coming
Cool
You're 1st
Glad to see an Officer of the Big Red One doing so much on D-Day, another excellent video Yarnhub, I hope to see more amazing stories soon!!
The quality of the videos are getting better with the time! I can't wait for the next video!
