Uploaded for the 76th anniversary of the Normandy Landings. I don't know when the next video will be made but it will definitely be something simple and of lower quality. Battle of Crete is still under 5k views after month while other WW2 channels can reach a million views in less than a month. It's obvious that these videos don't attract many people and this one cost more money than usual.

Dude keep up the good work. I remember this from Band of Brothers but I love the way you tell it.
Hey man, keep going! Its discouraging surely, but i really like your work. Its maybe a a coincidence, as Indy Neidel and the others had a video for battle for Crete the past month. I would suggest finding less covered topics (as were greco-italian war and winter war) and cover them. Im fine with the previous graphic style btw.
@@charalampospapadopoulos3411 I understand but I have spent a small fortune for this channel and it makes little sense when my videos struggle to get past 5k views after a month. Every videos costs an average $50.
@@ww2-epicbattles you are right man in what you say. I have no clue about costs/revenues and thus cannot help you much T_T. I wish you the best! I will try to support you the best i can. Dont lose heart!
It doesn't matter how many views these videos get.......the fact is that the people that do watch it truly appreciate the soldiers efforts and your effort to make these videos possible
This was a good episode from Band of Brothers.
My favorite episode
Let's be honest each episode was excellent. They really payed tribute to the veterans with that show.
I made this if you enjoyed that episode! th-cam.com/video/Q3OBMJ2Xm4c/w-d-xo.html
This is done 1000% better than the official Smithsonian Channel explination video. Thanks for discussing the actual tactics used and displaying a nice map with diagrams. Sure the cgi could be better but it explained everything great! Good job!
everything can get better. but there is little point in improving it when every video struggles to get past 5k views.
@@ww2-epicbattles Totally understand, still, keep it up - your videos are very well done!
Man I love Band of Brothers so much. Best military movie/show I've seen. Winters was a true legend and hero (hell all those guys were). I wish I was 1/1000th of the badass he was.
You know this is going to be good when you have the guy from SIMPLE HISTORY doing the voice over!
You and the Operations Room did a great job of telling this story.
why is this channel so underrated , the quality of the videos is so damn good
It feels so surreal that I recognize the names popping up on my screen.
I feel like those paratrooper models came from Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30.
This guy is very good at these vids. He has an epic voice for it, and am a huge fan of conflict history. Especially the WW2 era, as dad was overseas for almost all 4yrs of our involvement in the conflict and faught together against the Nazis with Audie Murphy as a member of the US Army 3rd Infantry division. He was present when they blew the giant swastika on top of Nuremberg stadium, as well as the raid on Eagle's Nest and those guys were true badasses. Especially the ones that didn't make it back, as they were heroes of the heroes 😪
They were heroes for the j$ws who caused this war. For the rest of the world, their victory was a travesty.
Good video and love the new animation style just hope in the future it is more rifined in some areas other than that amazing
This style is to be used only in small scale battles. Map animation is better to give the bigger picture.
Can't wait for it to show.
Mate this absolutely top quality editing congrats :)
thanks man. watch the making of video as well.
Wait! The Simple History Guy!
First thing I noticed too!!
This deserves more views and likes!
yeah well I don't have a cute face with large jugs to get more views and likes.
watch my making of video as well.
Amazing!!! Keep it up!
Great info. I never knew about the MoH recommendation or the policy of one per division.
Thx, very well done.👍✌❤🇺🇸
YES
You got a new sub!
This is excellent
Imagine commenting after the video’s come out
I just realised this is the simple history dude!
correct. watch the making of video ;)
I have started binging your channel. I particularly love this video and the music in the background. Such a surreal feeling it adds to the details of Brecourt Manor.
Would you mind sharing what the name of this musical tune (starting at 0:19 seconds) is? I could listen to it for hours. I subscribed to your channel and I hope to see more videos.
I think it's called Hymn to the fallen by Gregoir Lourme. Welcome to the channel. Another reminder that I'm working on a feature length documentary of a battle that remains unknown even for hardcore history buffs.
"Let's go! Let's go! Follow me!"
Lt. Richard "Dick" Winters, June 6, 1944.
My uncle said he saw Eisenhower cry, cause he knew most would not come home
hey, that's that guy from Simple History!
My guy from simple history I see u
Sink demoted Ranney just prior to D-Day, so would that not have made him a Private during this battle? 2:08
Band of Brothers
Hi, superb video! How did you animate the video?
there is a making of video in the channel. check it out.
Thanks! Even more stunned now! Blender!
I like how they're using Brother's In Arms assets for this XD
Ι see you're a man of culture :D
@@ww2-epicbattles Ofcourse! Brother's in Arms was my childhood haaha
congratulations to colonel robert george cole for his awarded the Medal of Honor for his bayonet charge taking last four bridges on the road to carentan 🏅 🎖 🥇
but you know that he received the award after he was killed right?
@@ww2-epicbattles yes he was killed in action by german sniper during operation market garden
@@nicholaslau264 by the way I just published my next video. check it out.
The policy of only one MOH per division was ignorant. Without Winters command and execution, one could argue the Allies don't make it off the beaches without much more casualties. Truly a disservice that should be remedied posthumously.
i hope to see operation Bagration doc from you (23rd june)
Dude this operation was huge! It needs a lot of time to prepare the script.
@@ww2-epicbattles
i know you use a lot of time to make this ep but you can divide it maybe 5-10 ep?
and i think Vitebsk-Orsha Offensive(The first phase of operation Bagration) might be good battle to cover
but anyway you video is pretty good
@@bcompany650 Yes this is how I will definitely do it. Not just with bagration but with other operations as well. 3 to 4 videos will probably cover it. I also want to do Sevastopol very much.
World War II - Epic Battles You should do the operation that was to relieve Budapest encirclement
Simple History voice?
101st Airborne division in a nutshell
Those animations could see some improvement.
congratulations to lieutenant richard winters for assault brecourt manor and awarded the distinguished service cross 🏅 🎖 🥇
I applaud the effort. If you want to improve this I suggest the following. Either pronounce the French names correctly or use the standard English pronunciations of them. A small slip is Nixon was the Intelligence officer and not intelligent officer. Maybe you can edit that somehow, but it's not a big deal. Personally I don't care for the graphics and would prefer a clear animated map. Copyright probably precludes you doing this, but running the video from Band of Brothers and noting how they diverged from the sources you seem to have would be interesting. Regardless, I can see this took a lot of time and effort and was very much worth doing.
I will do my best to improve my french pronunciations. Thank you for your feedback. I'm always trying to improve.
The voiceover sounds like the same person as on the simple history channel
That's because it's him.
@@ww2-epicbattles Nice! I really like is clear and calm way of talking.
Just watch band of brothers and you’ll learn all you need to know about this
