Thank you..3rd generation Navy Vet here..I wish to report that my landlord gave me his wifes uncles Army wool OD green blanket that was with this man in the battle of The Ardennes Forest. CM3 Ray out-
Burma (Myanmar ) , and New Guinea , and Phillipines were a precursor to a war similar to those rugged campaigns in SouthWest Asia ,vAnd the Asian Continent . This later would be repeated in a war in Southeast Asia's Indo- China nearly 23 years later when President Lyndon Baines Johnson started sending American troops there in Southeast Asia's Indo- China ; also where I lost my uncle mid- 3;/ 1968;,:tail end of TETb, in the Central Highlands , nearly 2wks. B-4 my 11th bday .
The , almost 4gotten campaign fighting in Burma . The fighting was intensely bitter , but strategically important by all stretch of the Allie, worlds , imagination .
I've watched several videos of captured German equipment with US paint and markings . This King Tiger tops the list . I saw on Y T a Canadian unit was using a captured Panther . Another US unit was using a STUG - l l l . Another was US troops using German half tracks for transport .
@@refealibazeta7886 All sides cannibalized off each other's equipment . Though , I don't think the Imperialist ,Fascist / Japanese cannibalized off any Allied equipment during WW2 in the Pacific / Asiatic theater .
I will never ever understand the mentality of the Kamikaze pilots, how anyone can kill themselves, especially for a cause that they surly knew was lost, there was certainly nothing “Devine” about it, crazy? YES.
Japan essentially lost the war or at least it was unwinnable at Midway, only six months after Pearl Harbour. Kamikaze pilots were brainwashed as kids and in training to believe such garbage. The strategy was absurd and has “zero” (pun intended) chance of being successful. For starting the war and other atrocities, Hirohito should have rec’d capital punishment as a war criminal.
@@livingadreamlife1428 Well , that's how the McArthur wanted it , and sold the Allies on the facilitation of taking Imperialist / Fascist Japan .by keeping Emperor Hiro Hito as the leadership of Hiro - Hitos devine right to rule , and saving face for a defeated , once was , Imperialist / Fascist Japan . Ithad a dual.purpose , in that 2nd purpose to thwart Soviet Union military juggernaut from trying to invade Japan . The Western / Allied " Marshall plan infused , mostly , financial assistance to both Europe , and Asia to thwart Communist influence throughout the world , and not just in all of Europe , Asia .
Without landlease to Soviet Union outcome of the war on Eastern front may have been different. 5000 aircrafts mentioned in the video , dodge and jeep tracks and cars , raw materials, tanks, food guns , shells , etc helped immensely.
True history lesson every one of these documentaries,thanks for posting

18:44 Bastogne was our own bulge that unbulged the enemys bulge.
We crushed the enemy there.
The americans ought to have white coats when marching in snow!
They were probably issued sometime around June.
I've watched several videos of captured German equipment with US paint and markings .
This King Tiger tops the list .
I saw on Y T a Canadian unit was using a captured Panther .
Another US unit was using a STUG - l l l .
Another was US troops using German half tracks for transport .
There was an American Batallion that utilized all German-made equipment.
@@MrMenefrego1 And vise versa. Germans using M3 Halftracks,even Sherman's. Lol!
@@refealibazeta7886 yup, guess it's better than doing without!

DID Russia really need the LendLease US equipment - or was it one of Stalin's devious tricks?
Big Bill O'Reilly Actually, to the point of nausia, there are many people stating such in numerous other WW2 videos.
Without landlease to Soviet Union outcome of the war on Eastern front may have been different. 5000 aircrafts mentioned in the video , dodge and jeep tracks and cars , raw materials, tanks, food guns , shells , etc helped immensely.
the king tiger with the US star made me cream
@craig chick kubisz, Bill is a trouble maker in a few of these combat bulletins.
@Big Bill O'Reilly Oh look, we found the dumb fuck everybody. Got to make even this video about politics. Thanks demonrat, I enjoyed the laugh.
First time I've heard an American commentator pronounce Bastogne correctly (or nearly so)!
I've never heard an English person pronounce any word properly. 😜
