Thank you for this video. My uncle served with the Royal Artillery in the battle, in an anti-tank unit. Sadly, he was killed in battle on 16th. October 1944. In 2008 my brother and I visited my uncle's grave in the Overloon War Cemetery. We also visited the museum, which was indeed, very interesting.
What was the name of your uncle? Maybe i can visit his grave one day, and give it a face if you would like. You can allways contact me: svankammen1998@hotmail.nl
Just to let you know I visited Overloon and Cemetery at the end of March 2024 very well looked after.
@@neilmurray1359 that's good to know, thanks Neil.
My great uncle was a Sherman tank gunner in "A" Company, 17th Tank Battalion, 7th AD killed in action on 4 Oct 1944 while attacking towards Overloon. Thanks for the great video!!
What was his name, and do you know where he is burried? Maybe i can look him up. You can allways email me: svankammen1998@hotmail.nl
And thank you for the compliment!
@@SandervkHistory His name was Corporal William Davenport from Jellico, Tennessee. He was my grandmother's baby brother. His body was not recovered but his name is on the Wall of the Missing in the beautiful American Dutch cemetery in Margraten.
You did a fantastic job on this battle. I was stationed in West Germany during the 1970s and visited Holland. I wish I had known about the War Museum in Overloon. I have never been in a war and am thankful for that. God bless all who died on both sides in the horrible war. They all had families. War is cruel and terrible. It is good that we are all in NATO to deter war. LTC Rick K.
Thank you! Appreciate your comment. I 10000% agree with you!
I live nearby and I can assure you it was not forgotten by me or anyone in Noord-Brabant. Great video!
Dankjewel! I also watch your youtube channel alot, you have some great topics! Thanks for the comment 👍
Inderdaad. Zeker niet terecht om deze slag als vergeten te bestempelen. Er staat niet voor niets een gigantisch museum
Geschiedenis … one of the most jaw breaking words in the Dutch language for an Englishman 😂 (it means history), if you ever want to amuse a Dutchman try saying it 👍
@@Aaronian99 Vraag elke Amerikaan of Brit, of ze van de slag gehoord hebben. 8/10 heeft er nog nooit van gehoord.

My father was in the 7th Armored Division and was wounded in this battle in early October 1944 . He told just intense the battle. Took almost a year to recover from his wounds.
Was he injured in Vierlingsbeek where the 88s were standing?
Wow, that insane. Cant imagine fighting this rough battle... Thanks to your father for his service!
I've been to the Overloon museum several times. They have an excellent collection of rare vehicles. It is probably one of the most under-rated WW2 museums.
Indeed! Thats why i am so happy that this video got alot of attention!
My wife and I have been to Overloon and this museum. Awe inspiring, humbling, poignant.
It is indeed a expierence! Thank you
Very comprehensive video. Very appropriate place for the museum. Thanks. 🇬🇧
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
So nice to see our youth so involved with WW2 history
Yes, and with my videos, i hope to inspire more to be interested in History!
You really did an amazing job with this one. Great work! This is an amazing museum, thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks man! Put alot of effort in this one! Looking forward to your next video!
@@SandervkHistory It shows man, looks great. Thank you! 👊
Thankyou for this video ,well done. Much thanks from this Canuck
Thank you for watching it! Appreciate it. 🙏
I was stationed at vliegbasis volkel in the late 1960's, U.S. Air Force. I was amazed at all the equipment on display. I was told that after the war, the land owner gathered the equipment & started the museum. The Dutch people loved the American & British soldiers who liberated them. The older residents still remembered the "Hershey" chocolate bars given to them by the troops!
Awesome! And the Hershey bar is something we Dutch wont ever forget!
In the sixties almost everything was displayed in the open. Several items corroded. I was there as a child with my parents. Later with my own children and the last time I was there was a couple of years ago when I was on campingsite in that neighbourhood.
Then everything was restored and put inside of a large building. As you see in the magnificent film above. Very well done for somebody of his age. Nowadays there are also vehicles displayed from post WW2 such as the LARC the very big amfibious vehicle in the beginning of the Overloon museum tour he showed. This vehicle is from 1952. But anyway a very good show !
I was there in the 80's 7362 MUNSS
I am honored to have met with mr. Trevor Lewis "Taffy" . He liberated my home town of Hamont-achel( Belgium) before moving to Overloon. As a kid I listened for hours with a translator about his stories about the liberation and Overloon. He was a Bren gunner. Overloon was hell...Remember the Bloedbeek.
Dank u wel....my mother was in Rotterdam throughout the war.....a horrendous experience throughout the war especially during the Honger Winter
Dank u! I can imagine pff.... Thats a good subject to talk about and make a video on! The Honger Winter. Thanks!
The Germans were a really well equipped and well trained and disciplined Military. So any victory against them was incredible.
Thats true! The Allies did underestemate them later in the war.
Again Very very good history telling, And your videos 🎥 are getting so much better Great work 👍 Well done and enjoying your podcast 👍👏
Thank you sir! Happy to hear that you liked it! I did my best for it 😎
The Churchill tank Jackal, was from No2 Squadron HQ 4th Battalion Coldstream Guards 6th Guards Tank Brigade, my Father was in No 1 Squadron No 2 Troop and fought in the Battle of Overloon.
Wow that is awesome! If you have any photos or story's from your father you can/want to share with me. Please email them to: sandervkhistory@hotmail.com
@@SandervkHistory Thank you, yes I have some photos and a few stories. I will send them to you when I get time.
Why you dont have more subscribers is ridiculous. Your video's are amazing. And love the maps you are using. Keep up the great work
@@TribeTaz thanks! I really appreciate that!
Thank you for your film. My grandfather was at the Battle of Overloorn and fought at Venray with the 1st battalion Suffolk regiment. He never spoke about the war and i had no idea of the battles he fought in. My uncle told me a few years ago. I have lived in the Netherlands for the past eighteen years and visited Overloorn museum three years ago. I am really grateful for the museum, the people working and volunteering there to give us a full account of the battles from the perspective of the soldiers but also the civilians. It was a tragic battle with great loss of life. My grandfather was 19.
Thank you for making this. My wife's great uncle fought from D-Day to Overloon with 1st South Lancs. He sadly passed on 18th October 1944 in Overloon. We have his photo and his medals and been following his journey through the war. This really helps put things into prospective and thank you so much. RIP to all who never returned home 🙏
Thank you! Is he burried in the Overloon War Cemetery? If so, i could lay flowers next to his grave if you would like that.
You can contact me here: SandervkHistory@hotmail.com
@@SandervkHistory Wow really? that would be amazing and so kind of you but he is actually buried in the Venray war cemetery. thank you so much though and God bless you for the offer 🙏 keep up the amazing work and love the channel 👍
I'm new to your channel; found you via a ww2tv channel follower who rec'd your channel on a recent sidebar chat. This video is excellent; really appreciated all of your enthusiasm for the museum and its exhibits. It is haunting to see the skin tattoo and waterbox. So many sacrificed so much for our freedom and we're starting to forget. Please keep up the good work of bringing this important history to life. May God bless you.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your kind words. I am happy to hear that my videos are important to people and it makes them realise again what the young soldiers sacrificed for us! I will keep it up! There will be new videos shortly. Been abit busy with some real life stuff atm. Thank you again and may god bless you! 🙏
Great historical museum. Great video.
Thank you John! Appreciate that!
My Grandfather, Nelson "Dusty" Russell, was in the 7th Armored division apart of the battle of Overloon. I remember him telling me so many stories of WW2, he even game me a commerative coin given to him from that battle. I've looked and tried to find videos of this, and this is the first video I have found about it. Thankyou for making it and putting it up here for all to see and remember those in that battle!!! God bless!!!
Only one mistake - you have used the silly American adjective ‘insane’. Americans feel compelled to use word endlessly. It means nothing except for, perhaps, ‘very’. Your strength is that you infuse such enthusiasm laced with innocence. I shall watch more.
Wonderful to see young people interested in this period of history . Well done 👍. Thank you .
Thank you David!
Excellent video thanks. The waterbox torture and the poor man who had been in it will stay with me.
Thank you Steve! Its indeed horrific to think about.
Very interesting video of an unknown battle and ww2 museum to me. Salute!
Indeed! Thats why i made this video. Thank you and Salute!
I visited this museum in 1991 when I was cycle racing in the Netherlands as a 21 year old from New Zealand. It was amazing then and even better now. A lot of the machinery was rotting outside back then, the anti mine tank as an example. Looks like a lot of restoration has gone on. Thank you for the video, great job.
I first came to the museum as a kid and in those days there were almost no pavilions as you say. Just some woods and paths leading from one vehicle to the next. For children it felt like an adventure, you could really explore the area. I must admit I prefer it that way but I'm glad they finally were able to take them inside and restore them properly.
And I'm also glad that the B25 Mitchell was finally painted in proper colours instead of the terrible bright green it used to be :-)
Thats way before i was born. I think the museum is much different now. Definitly worth a visit! And thank you.
@@SandervkHistory it certainly is much different.. And it's indeed worth a visit. Hopefully Militracks 2022 will not be cancelled.
In those days, each of the vehicles in the museum were outside, on the exact spot where they had been shot down. In the early 2000's however, they were joined with the Marshall Museum and gained a lot of allied vehicles. Also it was evident that the vehicles that were in the woods would not be there much longer if left to the elements so the decision was made to build the big hall where everything is now.
@@SatumangoTheGreat Maybe you will see me there, if its not cancelled indeed.
At 1:52 the narrator says "Venlo had two bridges" which is not entirely true. There was a road bridge right next to a railway bridge. They were not hundreds of meters apart from each other like the graphics suggested..
A fine documentary , a bloody battle never forget this!
Thank you!
Great video. Enjoyed the museum visit immensely!
Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it
I visited the museum several times in the early 1990s when I was at the nearby RAF Laarbruch. The internal museum was much smaller and the larger exhibits were all outside, viewed on a walking trail. Good to see the big items restored and inside.
Awesome to hear that! I am indeed glad they preserved it better than they used to.
Hi from a fan in Australia and well done on a great video! I visited here the last time I was in the Netherlands. Hoping to come back again one day to attend Miltiracks.
Thank you sir! Appreciate your comment! Hope you learned abit more about the battle! I will also go to the Militracks every year. So if you see me there, please say hi! 😎👍
pay no mind to the allied firebombing of women and children, everyone focus on the box and tattoo skin!
I am not sure what you mean.
@@SandervkHistory i mean the museum, not you.
Overloon Limburg i was in the museum there great museum
Indeed a great museum!
Mooi om te zien dat de jeugd dit nog levendig houd. Vergeet nooit wat we te danken hebben aan de Canadezen,Americanen, Engelsen, Polen, en vele andere bevrijders. Onze vrijheid.
ik zou maar eens goed kijken naar de locatie van de 2 bruggen. De spoorbrug en de stadsbrug liggen naast elkaar. de 2e brug volgens jouw schets bestond in 1944 niet.
deze, de zuiderbrug, is een onderdeel van de A73. De exacte datum dat deze is gebouwd weet ik niet.
Ahhh een fout! Nu weet ik voor de volgende keer waar ik op moet letten! Dankjewel!
What a lucky man you are visiting that fabulous museum on your own. They have some really interesting exhibits and is on my wishlist next time I visit the NL. Also I really enjoyed the video it was fascinating a lot of time and effort had gone into it. Thank you very much looking forward to your next project.
Yes i was really lucky! And i worked hard on this video to not disappoint anyone! It was a rare opportunity. And its definitly a bucketlist place to visit! Thank you for watching! 👍
Can anyone identify who and what rifle is being shot there at 3:32? Grasping grooves, high wall receiver, straight bolt, two barrel bands, rear sight forward of the receiver... Looks to have a metal mid section sort of like a mas36, but a thick muzzle like a gew88. Enfields dont have grasping grooves or straight bolts.
I am not sure what gun it is...
If you look in an English dictionary you will see the word 'rout' means a military defeat. The word 'route' ( pronounced root) is the pathway of a journey, like a military advance. Americans have a tradition of overlooking spelling and pronounciation errors.
Learning something everyday!
Magnificent work on this video.
Thank you Shane! Appreciate it!
"Beauty and Beautiful" are not the right words to describe any weaponry that were designed to kill our fellow men ... perhaps powerful or lethal could/would be more appropriate ... tanks were both but they were never attractive in any way, shape, or form ... a very informative doco tho', and you covered a lot of ground in such a short interval ....
I agree, it is sometimes hard for me to find the good words in english to try and tell what i really mean! But i hope people will understand what i really ment! Thank you!
thanks, I enjoyed this video, but I'm not sure why you would call Hitler's book beautiful.
Thank you! It was more as a reference to the historic value of the book itself! 👍
Seems like you admired that copy of Mein Kampf just a bit too much!
Just kidding, I understand it is an historically significant relic.
Hahahaha i should have chosen some better words. I agree :p
Never heard of this battle, Glad I found ur channel, very underrated. Hope to see you build many more subscribers soon.
Thanks man! i really appreciate that. I will keep uploading, so in the long run i will probably gain some more attention.
Great video! But stories like this always cause me to think why. Why in hell was this battle even fought? A dinky little town that could be passed over, and just bombed to pieces. Even if the Germans came at the flanks of the allies after being passed, they would have to dislodge themselves and get into the open, in which they could be obliterated. I just can not understand the thought process of commanders in the day.
I think the Germans saw a good defensive in Overloon, because of the surrounding forrests! Thank you!
I really enjoyed your presentation, one thing..... you should be commended with your enthusiasm, knowledge, and research well done
Thank you! That means alot to me!
Excellent video. Really very well done. Thank you and you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much! i wont disappoint you in the future!
One question. Why does German equipment have North African camo if it was in the Netherlands?
The Germans used everything they had allmost everywhere. You saw Africa equipment also being used on the Eastern Front. They scrambled everything to build up a good force.
This guy is starting a flood of covid carriers to Overloon!!!!!!! I am coming!!!!
Hahahah dont blame me for the next lockdown then.
Hey thanks mate ,I look forward to going when this bloody covid ends.happy new year
Thank you for watching! I would indeed highly recommend to go!
Thank you for this video very interesting , the museum looks amazing . thank you .
Thank you! i did my best! And the museum is definitely worth a visit!
Very good video, my parents live in Overloon and there still much to be found in the surrounding forest.
Thank you! Glad to refresh your mind on the battle!
Barge, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo (BARC)
Indeed! Awesome vehicle! never seen such a beast.
Thank you for showing us the museum. The German resistance shows how impossible Market Garden was, and could only have succeeded if the Germans had not resisted. Montgomery gambled that the Germans would rather surrender than fight on, but he was wrong.
Thats indeed true! Cant imagine the fierce restistance of the Germans, the Allies still underestimated the German way to much.
@ger du
Once the battle started, where was Monty? There was no overall commander. Browning and Horrocks had no one to coordinate their maneuvers efforts. When Monty failed to capture Arnhem, he used the US 101AB as static troops to hold the Lower Rhein which was a complete waste of manpower and depleted their health by forcing them to sit in cold waterlogged trenches for over a month. Donald Burgett's book on Market Garden details this.
Many of the "German" forces were infact Dutch.
@@fazole In Monty's memoirs he laments the fact that Allied Transport Command refused to drop Ist Airborne on the bridge, giving them far too much to do in fighting their way to the bridge, and he regretted not ORDERING Transport Command to drop them over the bridge, but he believed that the Transport and Airborne units knew their job. This I think, explain a much of what went wrong with Market Garden, but I still believe that it was not possible to drive a whole Corps up a single road without the Germans continually attacking the flanks, and so the whole operation depended on a lack of German resistance.
Market Garden was actually the fastest allied advance against German opposition in the entire September 1944 to February 1945 period. Check out the disasters in the Hurtgen Forest and Lorraine campaigns, which were far bigger failures.
It was the caution of the air commanders that was the biggest mistake made in Market Garden. Brereton and Williams of the USAAF refused double missions on day one and Hollinghurst of the RAF refused to fly closer to Arnhem.
Montgomery had zero jurisdiction over any of the air forces. Even the First Allied Airborne Army came directly under SHAEF.
Eisenhower, who was both Supreme Commander and, from September 1st, the C-in-C of all allied ground forces, had full jurisdiction over all of these forces but he did not not involve himself. So it was Eisenhower who could have changed things but did not do so. Not Montgomery.
Awesome naration . Well done Thanks . Subscribed
Thank you James! Means alot! i wont dissapoint you!
Only just found your channel …. Great vids, especially this one 👍👍👍
Thank you! The next one is gonna be great to! 😎👍
Great video!!! No mention of the Canadian's however........disappointing to say the least
Thank you! Appreciate that. The Canadian didnt participate in this battle. Not that i know about....
If im wrong, could you possibly send me some infomation about that?
This was a American-British action. Netherlands was not Just liberated by Canadians.
@@TheFreshman321 At that time, any Canadian troops were just part of the "British" as were the Aussies and Kiwis. So in that respect whenever "British" is mentioned there may or may not have been the three other commonwealth partners involved.
Everyone should visit Overloon. I’ve visited the museum twice because there’s some much to see.
Sander, so great to see you’re getting better and better. Shows how much you love these topics.
See you soon!
Thank you man! Appreciate your comment!!! See you soon! 😉
Worth a visit, went there in the very early nineties whe stationed at RAF Brüggen. Don't know how big it is these days but was relatively small then. Looks to have expanded and improved a lot?
Its indeed worth a visit! And it expanded alot! I think it the 90's alot of vehicles were stationed outside.
My Father took part in so many battles in Belgium and Holland during 1944 , I'm amazed he survived the more I dig into the details of what happened. Fights to flush out SS snipers in Brussels at the end of September with the White Brigade in 1944 and his love for the Dutch and Belgian people who were so kind to him and his unit particularly in Den Bosch and Apeldoorn .
Thats so awesome to hear! I bet you know alot of story's that your dad told you. I would love to hear some!
Fantastic production and content. Respectfully delivered. I've liked AND subscribed
Thanks Ethan! Appreciate you watching!
Superb museum, I visited it whilst stationed in the Netherlands.
Awesome to hear! It is indeed worth a visit!
Great video, well done! I didn't know about Overloon until a couple guys on a PC WW@ sim game I play, Post Scriptum, made a map of it!
Hahaha thanks! Scott.... i am one of the creators of the Overloon map in PS 😝
Bergie! Sander is JustPrezz one of the map creators!
Just to add a little detail: in some shots you can see the elevated cycle path that runs through the main building of the museum, which let you see the exhibits from above. Why, you might ask? I don't really know, but I guess it's because.. you know... a Dutch thing :-)
It's only accessible during opening hours though.
Yes thats True! I think we Dutch people are way to obsessed with cycles. We can even cycle trough a museum.
The war museum in Overloon only has one serious downside: It is very hard to reach by public transport!
That is indeed true. But once you arrive there, it is worth every second!
Hi Sander. Great video. Keep on telling these kind of stories. It should not be forgotten.
Thank you. Will definitely do!
Thank you! This was a very professional production. You have a great style of delivery. I'll subscribe to make sure I see anything else you produce! Stay safe.
Thank you! The production is still improving with every video! And i wont disappoint you. Thanks!
What a very interesting video. Can't understand why I didn't visit this museum and battle field when I was stationed at RAF Wildenrath, just over the border in the late 70s! It is definitely on my visit list when things start to open up again. Take care and thanks once again.
Thanks Philip! I assume you live across the channel. So it wont be to much effort for you travel. Thanks again!
The T34 is sitting outside because it is indestructible.
Hahahh i like that!
Cool museum! never heard of it! Thanks for sharing the place with us! It's now on my bucket list!
Thanks! it is definitely worth a visit!
Panther tank, beautiful machine and my favourite. Really good video young man. Stugs are great too.
Thank you! It is also definitly my favorite tank!
I visited the museum in 1979, it stated then the Panther was disabled by a PIAT hit to a track and the crew were shot dead when they abandoned the tank, is this true??.
Om je verder te helpen want je hebt je historie goed onder ogen.
Wil ik je spraak zijn. Ik bedoel hiermee een goede stem om je voice over te zijn je kan me via deze weg benaderen thnx voor je goede werk
Bedankt voor je aanbod! Ik blijf zelf wel de spraak doen in mijn videos. Dat is vaak een stuk handiger tijdens het editen dan dat een ander het doet.
Is that a Canadian Ram before the. Images of the Stug?
I am not sure
Nicely done! Two details: Maas = Meuse and Antwerpen = Antwerp. I have been at the museum once, but I am convinced I need to go back.
Thanks Ronald! My pronunciation isnt allways the best. I assume you live in the Netherlands, i highly recommend to visit the museum once again!
Amazing museum! Thank you for sharing places I will not get to visit! Excellent job. Heart wrenching story with the water box and the skin tattoo. May we never forget. Because of what they gave we are free. Blessings! Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Totally agree! Never forget! And yes, its in my opinion the best generation of people 🙏
Thanks for the tour of the museum,if you're ever in Britain come to Dorset and visit the tank museum Bovington,you will love it
Great video, never heard about this battle. Only one others talk about are the airborne drops and the bridge to far. Thanks for the history lesson.
Thanks! That why i made the video and its called: The Forgotten Battle. I am busy with a big highly detailed Documentary about Market Garden. So there will be again a video about the Airborne drops on the internet. :)
Was photographed standing alongside the Panther in 1971 when serving in the British Army when visiting the museum.
excellent vlog. I've been to the museum twice , by far the best i've visited, Also the german cemetery at ysslestein is very sobering.
Thank you! The museum is indeed great. I have a video of the German War cemetery Ysselsteyn also on my channel! I think you will like that one.
Really good video.... Thank you!
Thank you! I did my best!
Really excellent job. The museum looks incredible too. Thank you!
Thank you! Its a amazing museum! If you ever in the Netherlands, then you know what to visit 😎
As a young cadet in 1976, I visited Overloon. They were digging an aircraft out of a bank in the woods. I think it was a single engine plane with a massive radial engine. I wo der what it was and what it's story was.
there is a map for the game post scriptum about this battle.
Yes, i am one of the creators of the Overloon Map in Post Scriptum! 👀
I visited the museum as a boy circa 1970 when my dad was in the army and posted nearby - great museum!!
Awesome to hear that! My Parents didnt even met eachother at that time. Awesome to see that the museum is still standing today.
Awesome Wish I could see this museum in person !
It will probably excist for another 100 years!
Thanx man! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man! Appreciate it
Ik heb als kind met mijn pa al die tanks, en de "Bibber", nog beklommen. Je kon toen nog overal in kruipen.
Voor een deel mis ik dat, maar ze werden wel elk jaar roestiger. En ik dikker.
Die "Bibber", een 2 -mans duikboot, paste ik toen als mager mannetje net in. Wat een ervaring moet dat zijn geweest voor de toenmalige bemanning.
Overloon is een deel van mijn leven, ben er elk jaar van mijn leven geweest, en een aantal keren het tankfest gezien.
ik vind dat het tijd wordt dat ze daar een Allied party geven, met Churchills en Shermans, misschien een "Crocodile", een paar Americaanse Tank Destoyers, zoals de M18 Hellcat en de M10.
Heb die moffen nou wel gezien hoor, hoe sexy ze ook zijn.
Great video mate, didn't know anything about this battle prior to watching the video or viewing the map on PS.
Thanks man! I am one of the creators of the PS map. Hope you will enjoy the map just like this video 👀
Great video and many thanks young man.
Thank you Mark!
The water box Torture was obviousLy something the Germans learned from the Americans who used water board torture in their 1898-1901 conquest of the first republic of the Philippines , and as we all known the Americans also used water board torturing at their infamous Guantánamo bay military camp in Cuba for Iraqis and afghans.
Ahh i dindt knew that! Allways cool to learn something. Thanks!
I should put the museum into my to visit once in a lifetime list.
It is definitley worth a visit! Its a great museum.
Stugs were the best TDs! How did the T-34 get to Holland?
Couldnt agree more! I have no idea, i think they bought it. Otherwise i dont have a explaination...
@@SandervkHistory Everyone should have a spare T-34 kicking around, but I just don't see the T-34 tie-in to Holland.
Good video! It's good to see that the exhibits have been moved under cover, they were all outside the last time I visited (late 1980's).
Thanks Gary! Yeah luckily they preserved the exhibits wel!! I recommend when you are close to the museum again, to pay it a visit.
Thank You for this video.
And thank you for watching!
Wonderful WW2 vid, not WW2 affecianodo should miss it! As a living american, who had an uncle in WW2, to to visit that Museum!!!!! Anyone who loved Bobington, would be happy to live (& die) at that museum!!!!! Great stories, many thanks!
Thank you Caspar! This means alot to me. This is the reason why i make these videos!
I have been there many times. The collection off the overloon museum is incrediable as are the the yearly events. And in years to come i would still visit And on a side note the tank outside is an IS2 soviet heavy tank
Thats awesome, and i think you will probably keep visiting the museum! And thanks! i didnt knew that.
For what reason do you have an orchestra in the backround competing with your narration ... ? I had to clik off. It made my head ache.
Sorry to hear that! The orchestra bring more flow and feeling to the video. It makes it more watchable while consuming information. The same as a documentary. But thanks anyway for trying to watch it!
@@SandervkHistory Background music makes a video more watcheable ?? Says who ? I think you're just blindly apeing other fools who put music on their videos.
Stop what you're doing for a moment and listen. Is there an orchestra playing outside? Or in your kitchen? Or in your office? No ? What ?? I can't believe it - NO BACKGROUND MUSIC TO YOUR LIFE ? Then obviously your life is really dysfunctional, sub-standard, dull, boring, not quite real .....
In short f**k background music, and those who want to pollute all human life with it - from shop owners, to lift operators and video makers.
I think you still have a head ache? looks like it from your civil reply...
But still thank you! Lets agree to disagree.
@@SandervkHistory My reply was neither civil nor un-civil : it was the truth. I'm in my office now - there isn't an orchestra playing outside. Why not ? Can it be that my life is not real - not flowing properly - not quite so enjoyable ? What a lunatic thought. But some lunatics think it. These are the people who play music from ghetto blasters in the park, in their garden, from their car, in their shop, in the background of their videos.
Fools all over the world have jumped onto the bandwagon of stuffing music into everything - NOT because it makes everything better, but just because other people do it. It's called fashion - and fashion has sweet FA to do with merit or reason or even purpose. Watch a David Attenborough documentary - never one solitary single noise that isn't naturally occuring. Yet his documentaries are rivetting, from start to finish. Any video that's first class, will not need background music to try to cover up the fact that it's not first class.
Thank u for giving me the opportunity to expand your education.
Impressive video! Thanks. I’m coming Overloon next week
Thank you for your work on this video, really enjoyed it! Greetings from Vienna
Thanks you for watching! 👍
