Electric heated suits?
No
Not subscribing to this. I don’t need to see clips of people who follow orders so brazenly and enthusiastically that they attack a friend at the behest of an enemy. Zero respect for them. I too was in the military and had I been to Iraq, it would’ve been my life’s biggest embarrassment. I certainly wouldn’t be boasting about it and Iraq isn’t even as ignorant as 2…

Heeh
This absolute legend passed away March 22nd, 2024 at the age of 98. He and his wife were married for 73 years, 73! He's survived by five children and 16 grandchildren. A life well lived.
Lives back in then were almost always well lived, our gen today is mentally messed up.
@@zeeshandogar9406 How so?
God bless him and his family. Rest in peace!
Damnit!
@@travisdooley8053you can’t be serious… what do you mean how so? Do you see the degenerate group of people are out in this day and age?
I would not mess with a man that orders a bowl of ice cream in a Night club.
During WWII at that!
lol 😂
@@karlbman7912😂🤣🥲
A goofy goober
@@scottanos9981history wise, not goofy at all. These WWII vets were from the prohibition era, where all the pubs turned in to ice cream parlors. The Navy also had literal “ice cream ships”; barges retrofitted to do nothing but make ice cream
Yeah, that's fucked💁🏻♀️
If an icecream shop scammed me during wartime i sure as hell would take their dish and spoon too😂
But it was a night club?????
@@davidcook7887the club was just a gimmick to pull in people for exorbitantly priced ice cream
@@davidcook7887the night club was called ' ice cream shop'.😅
Because the luxury of frozen goods should be cheap during wartime? Refrigeration was not common in Europe until decades later.
@@mattroberts86military towns are known to price gouge.
The fact he survived one mission is insane, but to go on and fly 22 more and survive is an absolute blessing from God. ❤
my great uncle frankie went down on a B17 or a B24 (cannot remember anymore) during the war. We have his air medal, his purple heart, and his folded 48 start flag.
Which god? All-father Odin? Tyr? Thor? Freya? Idunn? Freyr? Hel? Loki? Bragi? Heimdallr? Or arr you referring to the FAKE grapist p3d0 "god" from the fantasy book created by the fascist bloodthirsty christian cultists?
Yep, most were shot down.
A "God" had nothing to do with it. Give people credit where it is due.
@@FoxMulder-p2c stfu and keep your stupidity off this comment section. Next.
What a great opportunity to interview this man.
What a memory. It was a break from war.
he sounds a bit senile because I can barely make sense of his story
Britain owes you much more than a bowl and a spoon. Thank you Sir for being a brother in arms 🇬🇧💙
“We defeated the wrong enemy” -Patton.
And today you can hardly find any English left in London
@@dwillbecancelledsoon4086Its a city, what do you expect? Besides, its the worst part of England.
@@haroldgōdwinessunu I expect the same as any other city that's not in the West (ie run by jevvs). Mumbai and Delhi are filled with Indians, Shanghai and Beijing are filled with Chinese. Nairobi and Accra are filled with N words. But whyte countries are forced to be diverse.
And London only sucks BECAUSE it is filled with the third world
I find it amazing to see that this guy remembers so much.
Thank you sir for my families freedom.
Sir, fellow Veteran here, I salute you.
I could listen to these warriors all day.
There’s only so many left of them and they give us more insight into those fated days with every personal story.
The greatest generation.
Having this guy as a relative would be awesome. Seems like he can deliver a good story or two during the family gathering.
He is saying they charged him to much for the ice cream and so he stole their dishes, After that, he goes on and mentions specifics of the plane type, and how it led to other missions just to keep the continuity for his memory sake
I agree Ihad to watch this atleast 5 or 6 tomes to figure out how he jumped branch to branch like a monkey .....thank you for your service sir...
Memory is interesting I believe it’s where you go when you die in a way… I’m going to hell
Great. No need to watch the clip! Thank you
Lol awesome
Thanks for the summary. 😂
God bless you, my friend. You are part of the best of America!
God bless him, his folks must have been so proud.
A wholesome war story, that's rare and very welcomed!
Ice cream is code for prostitutes. He kept the panties.
What is the point of this story? I don’t notice any kind of cause -> effect semblance to this random statement of disjointed facts.
@@superbherb7947 He got a dish and spoon that he ate ice cream on with him to home lol
Could've been a heartbreaking or sad story, but he shared that one from the war
Nah they charged him too much so he took the plate and spoon but they cut everything into oblivion.
Thank you sir the greatest generation 🙏🙏
A wholesome story from a soldier. Shows that there is always good in even the worst of times. Thank you for your service
My grandfather was infantry in Korea, Marine Corp. I miss him so much. Salute to all our veterans 🫡
The Greatest Generation
My dad was.
@@thomaspowell6174 God bless him, I wonder if they knew each other. Crazy world we live in, salute 🫡 to your father for being a fellow Marine that served in war with my grandad for this country
🇺🇸 ❤️ 🦅
The greatest generation. Thank you sir for your service
Thank you for your service. I love these guys !
I am alive because of heroes like this gentleman thank you and god bless you sir.
It’s so awsome these days to see so many people realize this and grateful for it. 🥹 It’s a big thing they did for us. 👍🫡
Goober
Lol no you're not
My grandparents and my father and mother lived in Amsterdam during WWII.
My father was 9 when the war started, and my mother was 5.
By the end of the war, they were 14 and 10.
In the winter of 1944, the NAZI'S starved the people north of the rivers, the Maas, and the Waal.
They kept them in the cities as human shields, knowing that the allies would not bomb innocent people.
The winter of 1944 was one of the coldest winters on record in the Netherlands.
Many people froze to death.
During the winter of 1944, the food allowance from the Nazis became less and less.
My grandparents and parents lived in Amsterdam.
The people of the city would have to walk further and further for food.
Bicycles were taken by the NAZIS to be melted down.
Tulip bulbs, sugar beets, and handfuls of grain became meals.
My mother told me that during that winter, cats became known as roof rabbits.
Many people died during that last winter of the war.
On may 5th 1945, the Nazis finally surrendered.
So yes, I am alive because of the bravery of the men who fought in Europe and beat the Third Reich in 1945.
Your comments only show your ignorance and stupidity.
@@sandrastevens4418 so you Think Germany Started the war and didnt offer peace multiple times?
This is why I love the Americans as an Irish man, god bless him and his family
Thanks for your service During WW2 God bless you all 🙏🇺🇸🪖
Thank you for your services 🙏 😊
this is so cool i’ve never heard of electric heated suits before but thank you for your service
During WWII, bomber crews wore electrically heated suits or the wouldn't have made it because it was so cold at those altitudes and the planes weren't heated.
His plane was probably too damaged to make it home and landed in neutral territory near Brussels.
There were some guys who flew up to 75 missions (maybe more?).
God bless and hats off for the Greatest Generation...!!!
✨🎩👋🥴👍✨
@@Da_XmanBrussels is in Belgium, which, if they sent a C-17 to pick them up, means it was recently liberated. Not neutral.
@@doctordank
I wasn't sure about Belgium's WWII status and used "neutral territory near Belgium" to give me a little wiggle room. Thanks for the clarification!
@@Da_Xman if you're not sure then maybe you shouldn't give statements about it.
Canadian here. If you have bad winters, get electrically heated stuff. It's worth every penny. Oh, you're freezing to death? Hit that button. In five minutes, you'll be better. The only problem is getting a power supply that keeps it running for a long time. I have usb battery packs, those can keep your phone running for days, but for electrically heated stuff, you're talking an hour or two tops. But. Sometimes that's all you need. Our coldest winter here was like -60c. It shattered some windows, snapped an inches thick wood basketball pole like a toothpick, and coated most street signs in inches of ice. I didn't have one of those suits until after, but that's why I looked into them.
My dad flew C-47s (315th Troop Carrier Group) during WWII and was stationed at RAF Spanhoe. He flew transport, airlifted wounded, pulled gliders and flew combat missions dropping paratroopers into European combat zones. He was shot down during Operation Market Garden and the Dutch Underground got him back to Allied territory. He may have been in the C-47 that picked you up. I know he went to Brussels several times. Thank you for your service, Mr. Haedike, and RIP. A member of the Greatest Generation.
I could listen to this guy for hours...and more ❤
thank you heroes for your service 🙏
Ice Cream!! 🍦....that must have been the best ice cream you ever did have!!!... Salute to you Sir!....
I love you Sir! " Believe it or not, i didnt drink then " thanks for your service you had a dangerous job,- bombardier. What courage !! ❤❤❤❤
Thx dear Man, member of the GREATEST GENERATION 🙌
Thank you for your service and our freedoms, be blessed
WW2 yes
How did he preserve our freedoms? What freedoms are these? Last time i checked, the US now has tons of political prisoners. Jan 6 protesters are still rotting in Biden’s gulags
That's awesome. I loved to listen to stories from my grandfather who fought in Germany during world war II.
A true hero, thank you sir for your service and sacrifice. May God bless your soul
🎚️🇺🇸this does warm my heart to know that SOMETIMES the soldiers had some adventures!! Not all horrible horror & terrifying....I salute you Sir ..we shall never forget 🎚️🎚️🇺🇸!💚
Ice cream is the perfect choice for the situation!
❤
He was part of a generation that grew up during Prohibition and in America, bars became ice cream parlors in order to stay in business. Ice cream stepped up to fill the social void left by the banning of alcohol
@@oxide9679 - probably a better choice, for the mentality too.
@@oxide9679ice cream parlors always looked like bars to me that makes sense
Ice cream would have been very difficult to get in wartime Europe.
@@hekatoncheiros208it was probably easier to get in the pacific theatre. The navy had dedicated ships for producing massive amounts of ice cream for the navy and marines.
Much love man always love story times and right after work aswell chillin and smokin along 💯🤙
That guy sharper than most college students.
Well to be fair most college students aren’t smart
"Most " is an understatement! 👍
I think we always have had an element of that. This country is loaded with propaganda, I choose not to believe it and be more realistic. I've found we had hippies and anti-war protestors in the 1930's and 40's like the Vietnam War and the 1960's.
Sharper than our president by a lot
Really? This story went nowhere.
Sir Paul "Bud" Haedike, thank you for your service. God bless you.
My Uncle Harry was 306th Bombardier Squadron on a B29, Flight Engineer, Turret Gunner. Every mission was successful. I loved his stories and miss him dearly.
I had the honor growing up being a neighbor of a British WWI vet, and later had co-workers in the 1970’s who were WWII vets. Sadly they are gone now, but they were the best!
A great Memorial Day video!!✈️
If this vet was 21 yrs old in 1945 he'd be as old as Jimmy Carter !!
Thank you Bud for your service 🇺🇸🗽
A truly heroic tale.
Thank you for your service, sir. God bless
Thank You for your service Sir.
Thank You for being a B-17 crew member also
Lots were shot down.
Extremely dangerous mission.
Really only the first sentence is necessary.... and he will see neither
@@I_am_a_cat_… and none of yours was necessary. Run along and let the grownups talk.
@@sirfultonbishop cope
Great man, that's part of the greatest generation. Blessings
The greatest of our generation The last of the quote unquote real men. My grandfather was a WW2 vet and he was just an amazing person and love to tell war stories he was in the Pacific theater
Yes, the Greatest Generation of all.
Gen X is 2nd to them.
@@bruceli9094LOL! Not hardly!😂😂 Aren't you the Time Out generation or the Participation Trophy generation?
Thank you sir for your service ❤
For some reason I feel like I got a respect this man for not being tempted to drink at the nightclub and he just enjoyed himself and treated himself with some ice cream. Good man
Thank you for your service and a life well lived
The worlds greatest generation, what they’ve seen and been through is words that cannot be explained or described, what they sacrificed is beyond anything your mind could imagine
I will forever and always salute 🫡 to this generation until the day that I die
the world's greatest generation is in Ukraine rn
You are both idiots
@@lembergsohncare to enlighten me there wise one?
@lembergsohn lol lmao
@@lembergsohnno.
Thank You for your Service
They brought us back to England, where I proceeded to serve my 20 year sentence for the ice cream and spoon incident…. 😂😂🛸
Mr. Haedike passed this year. God rest his soul
Appreciate your service.
Thank you Sir for your service
"Thank you for liberating us, by the way here is your bill*
Gotta love capitalism, where someone always has to pay the bill.
Sounding like a Commie with that kinda talk
Well, I'm a Mandalorian, I'm shure you've heard of us by now. Clearly someone has not heard of "Clone Trooper Humor" as of yet.
Sixty-five years later the Belgies still didn't like Americans.
@@CodyHomes Happens regardless of capitalism or not. It's just whether you pay out of pocket or with taxes. Usually these days it's both
Its been 75 years and still nobody has told this man that Belgium didnt use pounds/shillings
He wasnt being "taken"
He had the wrong currency
Thank You for your Service!
They are more formal in England. They call it the William, not the Bill.
LoL 😂 good one
You had me, right up to the end 😅. I assume ”Richard” is also a common slandername, for a bully / an abusive, confrontational, and/or generally an unpleasant person 🤔.
@@PC_Simoit’s Cockney rhyming slang for a turd - a Richard the Third.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
Hero. God bless
We looked like guys from Mars.
Yep!
But you were Men from America.
So much love n adore for you.
Thank you sir. ❤❤❤
And I bet he has eaten his porridge and ice cream out of that bowl everyday since.
He’s American. It’s called oatmeal, you Red Coat.
The dish ran away with the spoon on a C-47. He never said if the cow jumped over the moon.
😂🎉
Nice darts Sir, I would have done the same 🇬🇧 God bless your memory & thank you for your service ❤️🤍💙
Thanks for your service and faithfulness to God and 🙏 prayers for your family! Daddy ( Robert Taylor) and General Jamie and Gen Bamm s daughter, WW2 and Vietnam Vets.💕❤️ Chrissy Comey, Exupery
Not a great story,but veterans of war deserve respect and a 👍
Yeah that was one of those Abe Simpson stories
Dustinfowler,
Not a Great story? That man just explained to you that he ate ice cream and flew 22 more missions so you are not having to speak German right now.
By any measure that's a Great story.
Better than best 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
@@frankkinley6272 ok. Glad you enjoyed it.
So tell us if your great life ( don't forget to lie a lot)
the imdb trivia for band of brothers has one where 2 of the original guys (i think babe heffron was one) went over to europe to see some of it being filmed and ended up running just a GARGANTUAN bar tab. like a crazy high expensive tab. you know those dudes can throw them back. especially being back over there and reminiscing
Sounds like they were drinking the good stuff on a producer's dime
Frank John Hughes talks about this in depth in the Band of Brothers podcast. HBO offered all the original Easy Company members free hotels, meals and transportation - and Babe and Wild Bill took full advantage of it. The story goes they'd stay up so late at the hotel bar, eventually they were just given their own keys to the bar. This was them as old men, they were absolute animals when young.
i wish i could have a long chat with these guys i personally love hereing these stories along with the infantry men
Thanks for your service sir
They can’t count fairly in Mexico either
I love this guy… Thank you
You are a Brute...
and part of the Greatest Generation!
(hope you still have that ice cream dish & spoon).
Thank you sir.
…But anyone else smile at the “old man” stories, that make 5 points without the beginning or ending to the thought? 😂😂😂😂
It's the middle of a war and he thinks he could get ice cream at normal price
Shudve cost nothing for them. They're there to save their asses, da
The point is that they shouldn’t have been charged, they’re literally fighting for them because they couldn’t handle it themselves. Understandably.
@@lofton9959incorrect, they're fighting because Pearl Harbour got attacked by the Japanese.
@@lofton9959 theres always a price to pay and everyone is trying to make a killing is the moral i guess
This guy sounds just like my grandad
Dear Mr.Haedike, Sir,
Thank you, so much, for your service to our country‼️I hope that you feel the gratitude and respect that is felt throughout my entire family‼️ Sincerely,
Connie Oakes
♥️🙏🇺🇸🫡🪖♥️
What a hero
My uncles served in the army in WWII. 1 was a German POW. He came home a highly decorated soldier and was a great man.
Wow. What a guy. 🙏💯
I think they included his storyline in the TV Show MASTERS OF THE AIR
I’ve never eaten ice cream from a dish. It’s usually in a bowl or on a cone. However, if it’s apple pie with two scoops dumped on top, that’s a different deal. 😁
Haven’t see. Them around much in years. They are small and meta and look like a tea cup and saucer welted together!
There are special dishes for ice cream, which were use in this era.
In Boston, iirc, they eat ice cream from a plate or saucer with a knife and fork.
Thanks for sharing
these germans definitely kept meticulous records 🤣🤣🤣
There are no Germans in this story
The crew didn't wanted to go to Brussels, they wanted to go to brothels
Got ripped off so he took a little souvenir home lol. What a legend.
God bless ❤
This sounds like a Grandpa Simpson story.
Lol ikr? I was like where is this going?
Grandpa simpson is a cartoon, not real.
@@daviebaggins Thanks, Captain Obvious.
😅
God Bless You, Sir
Overcharged, so i took the dish and spoon home w me..lmaoooo
These folks had balls of kryptonite from looking like it’s the end to flying another 22 missions balls big balls thank you sir if only our governments had the same anatomy 👍🇬🇧
Thank you sir
The suit he’s talking about was for bomber crews particularly the men in the turrets of the plane. That altitude meant the wind could be icy cold so they were given heated suits but they wouldn’t always work properly sometimes one side would be icy cold while the other blazing. My great grandfather was a Lancaster pilot (one of the planes where the suits were used)
Words to live by
My grandfather was a bombardier as well. B-24 Liberators. I remember one flying over my house once when I was a kid and I ran inside to tell him i just saw his plane.
I believe it sir
