    This has me in tears! My dad fought in the second world war and he told me about a forest he ended up in . He said the Germans were approaching and bombs were everywhere, he lost many friends but was saved by an American soldier who hid him. My dad was 16 years old, he stayed hidden for around 6 hours ! Unfortunately my dad found the American soldier lifeless. This man saved my dad's life by giving his own. My dad passed away 2 years ago I wish I'd known about your channel then! Keep up your amazing work & thank you for showing us.

      I don't doubt you to much but this is the internet so if your dad fought in world war 2 at the age of 16 what age are you if this is true you are probably 60 or 70 and your profile picture leads me to think otherwise.
      Edit: if you are not lying and your profile picture really is you than me thinking that your not 60 or 70 than take that as a compliment

    It's very haunting knowing that men were so attached to these objects and tools. I'm certain that some men before death, would cry out thinking nobody will remember me or find my kit. Only for it to be viewed by millions across the world. I respect you because you're essentially digging graves but with honor and respect for the dead. God bless.

    • @mikkel066h
