Jim...Thank you to your father and your uncle for their service to their country... You could still see the horror in your uncles eyes as he told his story.
This man is the definition of "True Hero"...service because of duty. A true inspiration and embodiment of what all true Americans feel and fight for. Rights and freedoms of all people are everyones responsibility reguardless of religion or political affiliation. No lives matter till all lives matter.
I've watched hours of this type of interview, and this is one of the best I've seen. Mr. Klapperich is honest, forthcoming, unassuming, and obviously courageous. The interviewer is the best I have viewed. He asked the questions I would have in a way that respectful. Well done.
My father, Jack, was a medic like this man. He was in a Signal Corp outfit. He landed on Omaha Beach on the 2nd day and was also in the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded two Bronze Stars for pulling wounded men to safety while under fire. He was a good man and I miss him.
He was a hero. Thank you. Thanks to your father, and the other heroes. What a disgrace we are, as a country, to be the mess we are now, after all these men did, to protect our freedoms.
Fantastic interview, you ask the difficult questions that many interviewers are reluctant to ask, and you ask in a way that is respectful. Yes a very kind, caring gentleman. The foot soldiers definitely had it rough.
The interviewer was the best I’ve ever heard. The man he interviewed was humble, decent and good - he was an incredibly brave devoted medic which I believe is the most frightening and dangerous job in a fighting unit. He’s in heaven now.
The interviewer Rishi Sharma is excellent. It takes immense skill to strike the right balance between letting the interviewee speak freely and asking open questions, vs. tastefully and delicately guiding the conversation and probing deeper where necessary. Rishi Sharma has innately and intuitively figured out how to do that. What's more, besides being genuinely interested in the stories he shows huge admiration and gratitude.
I went through hell growing up as a very young poor immigrant in the 70s in the States. But my biggest test in life, I always thought would’ve been to be called up to serve in the military In the Selective Service System in a war when I was in my early 20s. I guess you will do whatever is needed once in the theater of war. And about this wonderful man, I don’t think he realizes how much the world appreciates him. Many of us wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for heroes like him

I can't imagine how brave he was to do half of those things. The little story about the underpants was so funny and deffo something I would have done also! What a legend.
Thank you for watching this video! These stories are extremely interesting I agree. Please consider subscribing for other WWII veteran interviews to help these incredible Heroes reach a larger audience!
There's a lot to learn from this good man. It's an excellent interview filled with stories and details that make war vivid, immediate. Imagine at night the German soldiers singing Lili Marlina across the river, the Americans join in; the next day they're shooting at each other. The medical information in many cases might be used today. Re: Cologne, (Köln in German) is a city on the Rhine River, he mentions the church destroyed- it's the Dom he refers to, black Medieval Cathedral which suffered damage but still stands. Interviewer asks about Ingolstadt- it's a city between Nurenberg and Munich. Salzburg is in Austria, the birth place of Mozart, Mr. Klappenrich knew the city is famous for its music. Infantry soldiers didn't want to be shot in the face as they would scare little children when they returned to the States. There were horrific injuries in WWI, artists depicted these poor souls as they sat on the streets of Weimar Germany begging for money. Dachau, the woman who kissed his shoe, the German officer who was shot in the penis asks:"kaput?" - ruined, broken? I don't think our man thought that was ok even though he brushed it aside and laid blame for starting the war on Germany. Thanks for this
Go Spartans. Go green. God bless 🙏 you Ted and thank you for your service. Your mind is sharp as a tack. I wonder if the Michigan State vs Michigan football rivalry was strong back then. God bless you for all you did and your bravery. Medics are usually targets for the enemy... Thank you Ted for telling your story. RIP Good Soldier. Another great interview Rishi.
What a man... just to know after all he's been thru his message was to love each other and not fight to be better than anyone just fight for equality. He was truly disgusted by racism/prejudice. He's been thru more than alot of us ever will. Maximum respect to this man, wish I could've shook his hand and have a conversation with him. Bless this man 🙏🏾🇺🇲
His open mind and view on finding the positive in people is a message that needs to be heard world wide and especially our country. The amount of selfishness and hatred we have here is disgusting.
Hero. So sad these brave men are passing away and will never be replaced. In a way I'm relieved they don't have to see their once beloved country going down the drain. I'm glad my Grampa isn't around to see people arguing about what bathroom to use.
It's not wrong ! This is how the interviewer is able to do these interviews. The money from commercial go to support his efforts in traveling expenses to do these interviews. He's done a great job of traveling and interviewing. I have watched many of his interviews on TH-cam. I'm very grateful to have these interviews. Hope to in the future donate to the cause. Thanks God bless. Keep up the good work Rishi!.

The look in his eyes tells all. He is remembering all the faces, all the horror. My heart goes out to these men. There is no way to fully understand unless you have been there. I wish the interviewer would have been more understanding and used a kinder tone. War is not glamorous or heroic. It is hell on earth.
My uncle was a medic in WWII, he had anxiety attacks nervous break downs and chronic drinking, nightmares of what he sound heard and smelled on the battle field. He drank like a fish and chain smoked,
When your young death is scary because you have so much left to live for and there is time for changes. When your old death isn't as frightening because you know you have lived a long life and seen a lot. This man I don't think was happy.. he seemed troubled. I used to work in ems and I can assure you not a single human is happy in a retirement home. They are lonely. Those were my worst calls having to go see our elderly like that. They would cry when we left or just hold onto my hand.. I always listened to their life stories and took to heart their advice.
Thank you for your service Ted. I really enjoyed hearing your story and the insight it gave. I can't imagine what that must of been like. LOL @ the story about the woman's panties! Much love and respect to you all! RIP
@ Jim Klapperich They are gone now so I will give you my thanks for your family's service. My father said all men have fear son. Bravery is not about being fearless, but about moving forward and helping your fellow soldiers Even When you're Afraid. THAT is bravery son. He should know, Captain L.H. Whiting won a Bronze Star and two Oak Leaf Clusters for a total of 3 Bronze Stars. I say this to point out how brave Ted truly was, as one of the Bronze Stars my father was awarded was for helping a Chaplain and a Medic recover both dead and wounded men from a hillside while under fire! Ted and men like him though did this on a daily basis! Think of that Jim and others who may be reading this and/or watching this video, These "boys" were Very Brave Men!
This was a very revealing interview. He describes getting out of a Jeep and instantly in the next moment after getting out a mortar shell lands into the lap of the driver killing him, a direct hit. He describes many details. About combat. He witnessed a concentration camp. He cried. He describes being in the worst ground combat. Thank You Veteran.
This was my grandpa. He was so incredibly witty and really was such a kick to be around. And yes, he had youth on his side. My mom is now in her 80s but she’s truly much more like a sixty year old in activity and also in clarity of mind. It’s common for members of our family to live into their late nineties to early 100s.
I would sure be interested to know the doctor that worked on his hand in England. My grandfather was a doctor stationed in England at this time. His specialty was hand injuries and repair. He was part of the 156th General Hospital.
This man spent his free time checking the feet of sweaty, dirty men while they all rested. Even though hes been going just as long as they have. What a guy Edit : now he's carrying rifles for em. I hope this man didn't have to lift a finger when he got home
The problem with holidays!! The vets that had to 'work' on a job never really appreciated the holiday "Veteran's Day!!!" Check it out? The streets would be clear of traffic!!! However, Washington & all gov. offices were shut down too. Something was wrong with that American tradition.
I very much enjoyed this interview. Thank you for providing us these interviews. I am, however, not hot on questions that are redundant, nor the "how did that make you feel? " type questions. It seems that you are abusing your guests.
Hi Sir. Thanks for watching the videos. What you have to understand is that the interview questions are to have the veterans so as much in their own words so eventually my voice can be taken out. If you look at the newest video, the first 10 seconds is from a questions like that. You are welcome to interview WWII veterans yourself :)
@@RememberWW2 I have interviewed only one WW 2 vet-- Grave Registration service. My only criticism is the NPR type questions that appear designed to get an emotional reaction.
@James Binns - have to respectfully disagree with you. Interviewer shows a lot of sensitivity and discretion. But remember we need to preserve these heroes' stories for posterity so the interviewer asks questions future generations will be curious about and want to know. Sometimes the vets need gentle delicate repeat questioning and nudging to tell their story. I get the feeling that the interviewees are all very happy with the way the interviews turn out. Keep in mind, they are the Greatest Generation and are not going to answer questions they don't want to talk about, and they will not be prodded. They're too tough a lot. So rest assured they are answering questions that they want to be asked about.
