OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING,OUTSTANDING ! The best footage I have ever seen in the 20 yr's I have been to this event. The LCVP crews get some great coverage of their work. The 2nd NBB are TOTAL PRO'S after only a couple of year's. Now I can show people what we have been doing on the beach the last 13yr's. This year's oscar goes to WORLD WAR WISDOM. Spielberg is on the phone !
It was so fun getting to meet you in person at D-Day this past weekend! Thank you for being so kind and taking the time to talk with me and my little brother as well. ☺️
OUTSTANDING VIDEO.... I was the .30 cal MG gunner and was awesome to see us run off the Higgins boat and later when you caught up to us in our shell hole. Overall great work.
My favorite part about this is the WW2 planes like the P-51 Mustang. Just to see them still flying is amazing. I would like to know more about who is flying and how.
As a nurse and U.S. Navy Veteran and daughter of an Army Medic World War II Vet it does my heart good to see a young man like yourself so involved in our history! I’m very interested in watching how the medics took care of the wounded out in the field since that was what my father did in World War II and me being a nurse. We must never forget the greatest generation of soldiers and what they did for our country in their sacrifice and service and you’re keeping that alive in your videos and for that I thank you! I love your videos and I try to catch everyone that you post and will continue to do so! I’m curious to know if you or any of the young men in this video are actually in the military or plan to do so? May God bless you as you continue to bring history hopefully to the youth of today who know nothing about it! God bless America!👍🙏🇺🇸.
Hey bro, I'm into old school stuff too. But tbh I love what you do. I think its super cool, and and honor to live a re creation of some brave moments. I definitely think that it preserves history in a humbling and realistic way
I was there for all three battles. You can see me running off the boat on the right at 7:28. Cant believe I was that close to you during the fight. This was by far the craziest battle Ive taken part in. You had to be 18 to partake in this and I had just turned 18 that month so I narrowly got to go. The tanks and planes were the most incredible aspect of it all as well as being able to talk to a lot of cool people. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience and its awesome to see that you were there. Love your videos and keep up the good work.
That put a smile on my face that we might not have seen each other on the beach but you were treating every person that I was with. Glad to see you get to use the leg tourniquet. The question is did you get any footage of the airborne bridge battle. I can’t find anyone so far that has it.
Many people don't know this but there were native american code talkers on D-Day at Utah Beach from the Comanche tribe. Members from the tribe still visit the beaches in France. Actually my great granduncle was on Utah Beach on d day and he was later killed in a French town
I had an AWESOME first time there. An absolutely amazing event to see in person. On a plus side I got to meet you the first year going to this event. Best day yet this year! Worth it staying there all day. Can't wait for next year! o7
Thanks so much for coming to the event and stopping by to say hi! We put a lot of work into the event, so it’s really great to hear that you enjoyed it!!
Great work, I am with WW2 Armor out of Florida, I was there Thursday and Friday and being the main gunner on an M4 Sherman you don’t get to see all the amazing efforts of everyone else! Great job, excellent video!!! Keep up the your hard work honoring the Greatest generation!
I love how you put so much efforts in your videos and try and show as real world war 2 can be I love your videos and you teached me some interesting facts too
Thank you! It’s a Sony AS15. There may honestly be newer versions of the camera than that, but I’m not sure. I was hoping the quality would be a bit better, but it’s definitely a step up from my last camera setup!
@@WorldWarWisdom Good deal. I’ll have to look into getting one for myself. This year I mounted my GoPro in a first aid pack on my helmet. Didn’t work out too good. The footage is on my channel if you want to take a look. I saw William Clark was using the same setup as you. Looks like the better option 👍🏼
Awesome video, man! You got some great footage! Mind if I ask how you attached your helmet cam? I Reenact German side and I've been playing around with the idea of bringing a camera out. The only issue is that I want it hidden. I was debating putting one of mine in a flashlight case, but Everytime I raise my rifle or go prone, I'd lose the shot.
You could always try a chest cam, much like police do with body cameras? You can get flat ones and paint it if need be, no one would think anything of it, or even put it inside your uniform and make a hole for it to see out His if you look close, you’ll notice seems mounted inside his helmet, because you see his cheek, and even eyelashes. I’d guess he has it in the back of his helmet mounted somehow if you look around 3:02
This is so neat!! You look like you had a blast!!! It’s great to see people that invested in history, gives me hope for humanity.. especially seeing so many young people!!!! That’s too cool you guys had aircraft flying!! I would love to do something like this, but unfortunately I’m not a guy 😂 Is there a source to find out info about upcoming events??? I’m in Seattle… I’ve seen a Civil War reenactment once while in Montana and it was a blast.
You guys did get a short turn-around on Saturday this year. It was a shame the safety brief held you up, I'm not sure what the issue was there. We got out of the embarkation area plenty early on Friday for a nice long ride.
You’ve got that right! Nothing wrong with a short turn around, it just caught me by surprise haha. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the event this year Lee. See you in Conneaut again next year!
I know you all are having a great time, but this happy attitude when you get hit really breaks immersion. I would totally play my role and scream out of my lungs in case I would get hit
They’re just grown men playing soldiers, I’m not sure how they can say this is an honourable tribute to those who died on D-Day when they act like kids joking around. It’s embarrassing.
I went to the 2021 event but I was sadly unable to attend the 2022 one. I am hopeful that I will be able to attend the Saturday one this year. I am unable to attend other days because of band camp. I have the good fortune of living only about an hour away from this.
@@banditsjourneyHey you! 🫵 Yes you friendo, It has come to my attention that you have been a naughty little boy 😡 Im going to have to touch you at 2:42 pm EST 😄 Don’t forget the oil!🧴 Over, and out
so i noticed that you and some of your fellow reenactors are wearing paratrooper boots when doing beach landing crew, why are you and your fellow beach landing crew guys wearing jump boots, also i have always wanted to go to this reenactment because i love history i love d-day and the invasion and the paratroopers due to my b-day being june 7th the day after the invasions so d-day plus 1 also i shortend birthday to b-day as a nod to d-day 🥾🪖06-06-1944 06-06-2022
That’s a great question! Most men in the Navy Beach Battalions were issued Army paratrooper boots before D-Day. There are some really neat pictures of them wearing them on the beaches. The beach battalions were Navy sailors, but were issued a lot of Army gear because of their unique role.
This is a great event! I partook in this event in 2022 as a member of the Ost Battalion 439 of the Russian liberation army for the German Wehrmacht. Our unit was on the central part of the beach so it's very possible that I battled you! I have footage of our section of the beach posted on my TH-cam Channel if you're interested and I hope to see you next year!

Same to you Hannah! Hope you had a great time at the event.
Im sorry i ruined the 100 likes

“Did you get hit?” “I guess so”😂

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I always loved seeing other people’s helmet cam videos, so I figured I had to make my own!
My favorite part about this is the WW2 planes like the P-51 Mustang. Just to see them still flying is amazing. I would like to know more about who is flying and how.
That plane flyover was insane! It looked so real.
Because it's a real WW2 era fighter plane

Thanks again for giving me that tourniquet Chris! I did get a video of the bridge battle and I’ll be posting it once I get the footage edited!
I love seeing both medic and rifleman roles when I feel like it I always look up your channel and watch some of your videos
Many people don't know this but there were native american code talkers on D-Day at Utah Beach from the Comanche tribe. Members from the tribe still visit the beaches in France. Actually my great granduncle was on Utah Beach on d day and he was later killed in a French town
Really cool to see the battle from your perspective! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant, love what you guys are doing here. So Cool.
Thank you!
Seeing the planes overhead must have been so cool!
This was so awesome. You even had air support...lol. Keep these vids coming as I'm living my dream vicariously through you, thanks for the content.
i didn't know your channel had re enactments but they have quickly become my favorite aspect look forward to more
I had an AWESOME first time there. An absolutely amazing event to see in person. On a plus side I got to meet you the first year going to this event. Best day yet this year! Worth it staying there all day. Can't wait for next year! o7

I love seeing the P51 keep making fly-bys. Amazing job
Been waiting for a video likes this for years
omg your the guy thats always on my for you page!!! on yt shorts man you are the best youtuber you make the internet a good place
What blew me away the most was that y’all were so dedicated that you had actual planes that I think were from ww2 in the reenactment.
"Here is your tourniquet. Okay. It's been ten seconds. Give it back."
Great that you were able to video, I’ll be at Rockford in illinois next month
Have fun! I won’t be able to make it to that one, but I hear thats a great event
I’ll be there too

Props to you for keeping that water bottle out of the ocean most people would just walk buy that that’s really awesome you did that
i love d day ohio its a great event!! sweet footage!
Roughly how many men got off the landing crafts per craft ?
I counted about 20
“I actually tripped and my riffle jammed”🤣🤣
This was amazing, I’d love to do this someday. Where can I go to get the required gear for the event?
Go on to the d day reenactment sight and it will show the required gear
Great video man. I’ll have to get this same camera rig. Is it a Sony?
Thank you! It’s a Sony AS15. There may honestly be newer versions of the camera than that, but I’m not sure. I was hoping the quality would be a bit better, but it’s definitely a step up from my last camera setup!

So cool
Thank you!
Coming next year for sure. Seems to be awesome!!! part of the 709th Infatrie.
How did you get so many people?
Thank all you guys for checking on us and making sure water was handy. Even us "Germans" had you medics checking !
Holy shit this looks awesome. How does one get involved in doing this
I know you all are having a great time, but this happy attitude when you get hit really breaks immersion. I would totally play my role and scream out of my lungs in case I would get hit
They’re just grown men playing soldiers, I’m not sure how they can say this is an honourable tribute to those who died on D-Day when they act like kids joking around. It’s embarrassing.
embarrassing to who? Im sure the person 6 feet under cant really feel "embarrassed"@@Jimmythefish577
6:38 why does the plane look short
I like how they yell...its just a smart thing to let them know
I JUST REALIZED THE GUY AT 19:50 IS MY WW1 AND WW2 HISTORY TEACHER
POV your at the beach:
kid: Mom?
mom: Yes honey
kid:can we go the beach
mom:No honey dday is happing
I would definitely like to see the rest of the footage
imagine paying and going all that way in a cool ass re enactment just to die at the start
awesome.
Thanks!
Damn this looks actually so real.
Me and the Michigan boys invading Ohio be like:
Question: Can you choose to be on the axis or allied powers for these reenactments
"alr bro i gotta get off for a bit i gotta do something"
what bro's doing:
I have a quick question what is the designated age to start doing this kind of stuff?
Probably 18 lol
Average day at the beach in Ohio
Ohio memes are dead
How do you tell if you were hit?
I went to the 2021 event but I was sadly unable to attend the 2022 one. I am hopeful that I will be able to attend the Saturday one this year. I am unable to attend other days because of band camp. I have the good fortune of living only about an hour away from this.
how did you find that i found the website or whatever but nothing❓
Wow!
2 questions. do you bring your own uniform 2 HOW DO I GET THERE AND JOIN
Soo cool
Does the rifles have knives on them?
What part of Ohio is this, I saw this and was like dang I wanna do that AND ITS IN MY STATE, Im addicted to WW2 so this would be my dream!
Not far from Erie, Pa and on the shores of Lake Erie
Studio T Reenacting cameo
What lamp did you guys use i know about the se-11
what bullets are these guns using
They use blank rounds
real guns blank rounds
Just imagine: Drinking PumPKiN SpICE LatTe, on the beach then suddenly a bunch of guys landing on the beach, probably lagged too hard
How old do you have to be to participate into these
13 but you won’t be fighting, 16 seems to be standard “infantry” age for these.
@@middleclick7916 thanks a lot
30 seconds?😄
Jman
How can you tell if you get shot or hit in a reenactment?
How many people were at this event?
How do you know if your dead or not?
Is that you as a soldier?
POV: When Ohio memes get real
You are not funny at all you know that?
