Thanks for doing all that! I don't know armor that well, but I DO know aircraft, and at 0:40 those are Allied Piper L-4 Grasshoppers (aka Cubs), not Luftwaffe Storches. This is based on the silhouette of the wingtips, cowl width, fuselage taper, shape of horizontal stabs and lack of extreme gear struts.
The " Huh ? " at 2:00 is actually a Pandur in service with the Belgian army today. That's all Belgium has left as "tanks". Its presence here could be an injoke too as there is a whole discussion going on about these vehicles : being 20 years old they were renovated and as a result the interior has become so cramped that the crews can't move inside or get out safely. Response of the army : we'll need smaller soldiers.
As a Belgian, I always find it incredible that people that we don't know, came so far from their home to fight nazi tyranny and free my country. My heart is full of gratitude for all american, english, french and many other who gave their life for freedom. Thank you so much.
My father was one of them. He was a young 2nd LT in the American Army who fought on the northern flank of the Battle of the Bulge until he was wounded. He spoke well of the Belgian people.
Thanks from an American Veteran to the country and the people of Belgium for honoring our heroes at bastogne for their sacrifices to keep them free from tyranny God Bless
I am so impressed with not only the vehicles but with the uniforms and equipment. For the most part the uniform patches matched the bumper markings of the vehicles. A lot of work went into this parade. My father in law served with a tank destroyer battalion in this battle but I did not see one from his unit
10/10. How lovely of the young boy to cross the street and pick up sweets off the floor and share them with the other kids behind the barriers...great gesture.
As a child, I was there for the 20th anniversary ceremony on the battlefield in Luxembourg and visited Bastogne, particularly the “Nuts” Museum. Not what you’re thinking…It is a quote from US Army General McAuliffe in response to German demand for surrender.
I don't know where all the vehicles came from, but a BIG thank you to the men the first time around, and a Big hand for the men that keep the memories alive, unfortunately in a few more years there no longer will be any survivors left.
Good job. I see 5 years later. Stills while recharging/fixing video. Excellent work. Viva la France. God Bless America. Truly moving the number of French patriots and history buffs that beautifully restore U.S. Army vehicles.
We most fondly remember the young men who came here to free us from the nazi's. And honour the ones who could not go home again. Indeed, there are a few towns in Belgium where the commemoration is still held each year with parades of old military vehicles. I do recommend the town of Mons in the first weekend of September, as well as Bastogne around Christmas.
Chris Breezy Yes, the people of Belgium and the Netherlands have such parades with old equipment. They have wonderful re-enactments and honor our fallen by adopting their graves. They honor their liberators and keep their memories alive.
And the shame of it is the ungrateful American you here don’t even know what those men did seventyfive years ago to save the world from tyranny. They have no clue what the battle of the bulge was, and probably very little of the whole of WWII. In fact they want to bring it here.
Wow this is NUTS!! BEAUTIFUL.. ( & that Glenn Miller sound is perfect) not day that goes by in my life that I dont think of this battle and men who fought, and didnt come back for me.. Heros. I couldnt image our boys seeing them huge tigers all them germans coming at them that early morning.. and to hold the germans that long with no resupplying against all odds.. then Gen. Patton rushes in!
My dad was a medic in the 84th Infantry Division in Marché...it was the next road and railway junction after Bastone. They arrive in the town just hours before the Germans. They were up against the 119th Panzergrenadier, 9th Panzergrenadier, and the 560th Infantry divisions. He rarely talked about the war and when he did, it was always in generalities. I was hoping to see a jeep or (at least) someone wearing the Rail Splitters (84th ID) patch. Did see the 2nd and 3rd Armor Division patches which were on the flanks of the 84th.
Yes they were heroes but also the German soldiers were heroes too. They fought for their homeland, they defended it at all costs. Of course the government they served was terrible. But that is not the fault of the single German fighter. May both brave Allies and brave Germans rest in peace. I hope there will never be war and hatred between Germany and its neighbors again. Greetings from your friends in beautiful Germany
Awesome display of historic military hardware. Loved the Sherman Jumbo and the Firefly. On a side note, God bless the Belgian people. I had the chance to visit their lovely country years ago and was treated wonderfully. I'm looking forward to going back.
Back in June of 2019 I traveled to Europe with my Aunt and a couple of her colleges friends to Denmark, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Bastogne, Belgium. I went and toured the Bastogne war museum. My grandpa fought all the way though the battle of the bulge.
What an amazing display. Particularly impressed to see the Sherman Cobra King and the Cromwell,very few of those around, especially in running order. Surprised the weren't any tank destroyers,an M10,M18 or M36. Perhaps there aren't many running in Europe.
THAT BOYS THOUGHT OF OTHERS. HE CAREFULLY RAN ACROSS & PICKED UP THE CANDY & GAVE IT TO THE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY COULDLN'T REACH IT. A THOUGHTFUL YOUNGMAN. HOPE HE IS LOVED BY MANY & SHOWN LOVE BY MANY FOR HIS THOUGHTFULNESS .
Was the cameraman a professional? I like the discipline he had while shooting. Didn’t zoom in and out. Did a slow pan of the plans? And the quality was so clean you could read a lot of lettering. Good work.
Simply amazing-like this WW2 mechanized column rolled out of a time machine capsule 75 years ago from 1944 into the 21st century through the historic town of Bastogne. The Allies won that war in large part due to America’s industrial might that turned out these equipment and weaponry for the Allies that eventually overwhelmed the Axis powers. This “Arsenal of Democracy” included the bombers, fighter planes, artillery, warships-and of course, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended the Pacific Theater of WW2 in 1945.
That's a medic that would be dumping cigar ashes in you as he worked and grumbling away but by god he'd get you back on your feet, and if you didn't, he'd slug you till you did
No offence to them but events I’ve been to in Britain all the re-enactors are in there 60s and above so it’s nice to see young people who generally look like soldiers doing it here 😂, makes it more realistic
I was stationed in Germany 34 Signal BN. in 71 and we were just getting rid of some WW2 3/4 ton Flathead power wagons like some of them seen here,. Lurch B co wrecker driver

They say during the first meeting between Churchill and the American secretary of war, Churchill was just dumb founded by the number of equipment the Americans were promising in terms of productions for the first year and the estimate for the subsequent years after. Tanks, planes, supporting vehicles, merchant ships, destroyers etc.. The scale was just imaginable at the time and it was. At the conclusion of the war, the American navy was just astronomical compared to the height of the naval build up of the rest of the world combined.

The one at 2:30 is a 105mm gun, so its not a normal sherman

Cool, I thought the only running Jumbo was the one in the Littlefield collection at AHM. Awesome to see another motoring along.
Fantastic video its amazing of the amount of WWII vehicles still around, this was great to see as real as it can be without the injuries. Thanks
Merveilleux ! Bravo !👍💪❤❤

11:11 - My favorite of the bunch, DODGE WC-54 Ambulance.
I've never seen a jumbo in modern footage, that was cool. Honestly if there was one tank I would feel safe in during WWII, it'd be the Jumbo.
Been there too, thx for the great video
