Yeh I’m not surprised you’d be offended that we bought 5 trucks to extract civilian casualties and for distributing food, clothes and supplies for those whose houses and towns have been destroyed by an invading Russian army.
Your work is Brilliant! I've spent a lot of time in Normandy and you give fantastic context to some of the sites I've visited. I was in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Incredible experience. Looking forward to your next piece!
Never forget what these brave men did in the hard fight to free France from the Nazi invasion stopping its spread to Great Britain and further west. Great job in transforming modern images to actual real historical footage.
Hi Rob thanks for another fantastic video. This one moved me more than most. It was so realistic the way you matched the photos especially the one with easy company in front of the memorial. It took my breath away and I don’t think I will ever forget it well done I know it’s not easy but please keep up the good work, thank you, Paul🇬🇧👏
The Wife surprised me with the Ambrose Historical Tours BoB tour in 2019, what a blast. As you state, the church prominent in the village but it is also a little special because of the shape of its steeple. Most are more pointed or slopped but this one is rounded and was noted to the soldiers to help identify their objective. I'm sure you are aware and maybe covered it in another video, but the battle did spill into the church. There was a German soldier hiding in a confessional when the Americans came in. He must have sneezed, there are still bullet holes in the door... Thanks for another great video!
The main soldier in the thumbnail is David Kenyon Webster. He served in Easy company in the 101st airborn Division and he's featured in the show band of brothers.
Your superimposition of the videos is extremely impressive and extremely valuable when watching the current day video. Thank you for your efforts. In the photo of Easy Company in front of the memorial, 80 years ago the words on the stone were legible. They weren’t in the current photo. Interesting.
Once again we are reminded of the cost of war for the brave soldiers who landed in France on D-day. The relieved civilians who were happy to see them. Excellent merging of then and now the films and the photos.
Hi, I loved everything about World War II, that's why I watch and subscribe to your channel. I don't speak much English, so sometimes I have a hard time understanding the context of your videos, but I still love your content. Congratulations.
Thank you for tell the stories that happen in this very in important village my wife and l had dinner opposite the church it’s hard to believe that war raged around the area all those years ago that evening as we sat there and the pictures you’re show we stood there never knowing the things that had took place so once again thank you for tell us about it 👍
Great work, I am retiring in March and going to Normandy end of April in our Camper. I've already mapped out my route and thanks to you some historic places to visit. We should never forget what the loss of Human life there was including civilian's, looking forward to more of your video's Thank you
❤ your extended videos explaining Before and After photos. I wonder how villagers that live there today support themselves financially? Are they self-contained trading among themselves? Do they commute to larger metropolitan areas? Sometimes when I see the most beautiful “after“ photos, I long to immigrate to one of these villages today. Must be like living in such a peaceful simple place. Maybe / maybe not.
Another very clever idea for past and present Makes me wonder how many guys in your videos made it back home It’s a sad thought Also after watching the amazing video you have done your research ❤ I want to download a mod for assault squad 2 now
This was a wonderful video.. your then and now photographs really bring the past to life! Thank you and Blessings to you for what you're doing to help Ukraine. ❤
Brilliant video. Amazing to see how little the village has changed. I assume there was not too much damage to the village during it's liberation? Yet again you have brought to life scenes from the invasion of Normandy. Do you know what unit tried to execute the US paratrooper? Many thanks
Great video! I have visited that region and that town last summer. The two battle scenes were unknown for me until now. But I doubt, that at around 9.30 the Germans wanted to execute the Paratrooper, therefore they didn't have to leave their hidden position. How often have you been to Normandy already? Have you plans about further larger buildings/facilities/regions in that manor?
I go to Normandy every couple of months and have done a few years now. Absolutely love it! The plan for the channel is to get to Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to cover wider WW2 events….shower I will always go to Normandy!
Stupid me - I now see the name of the music at the bottom of the shorts, I have view many of the shots and a few vids. I get sad at seeing these as it reminds me of the countless lives lost in the sake of freedom. Every soilder had a mother, father, brother or sister and even a wife and maybe a child that has to go forward without t em. AND we have a ROYAL A-HOLE that calls these brave poor soilders - suckers and losers. It makes me sad and again mad that there is someone experiencing freedom they fought for - too bad TRUMP even exist. MY feelings at age 75.
WW2 my dada g involve and locked in 1939,to 1945and not a tda in unlocked for freedom plz help me but I am poor man and not affordable money plzzzzxz help in contact
That’s a nice content, just don’t appreciate the Ukraine stuff… im writing it as a pole. Since the start we’ve tried to help them, giving them help, place to stay, our shit government even got them personal numbers or whatever you cal an id number that every Polish citizen has. We have gave them tons of money and armourment.. nevertheless they come to Poland from parts of Ukraine where the war didn’t even got close to taking advantage of all our help.. they sit at their free houses, getting free money, driving to the mountains, sea side having a blast on holidays where we poles work and pay taxes so the government can pay them benefits… recently there has been a huge flood in Poland that wiped out a multiple towns, villages, fields, all was flooded and there was not a single bus coming from Ukraine to help, nothing, not even a simple word from them instead they have been robbing gas stations, houses, shops after the flood went a bit down, google it there has been videos recorded. And yet let’s help Ukraine the most ungrateful, back stabbing country with a clown in the front. That’s my point of view on all that Ukraine crap and I hope people one day will understand that they have had more than enough
If you have opened the door for donations, can you help the Palestinian people in Gaza, where the Jewish mercenaries are killing the families of Palestinian children, destroying hospitals and preventing medical teams from reaching the wounded, where there is injustice and hunger at the hands of the infidels of the children of Israel, Satan?😢
@thehistoryexplorer Why are you angry? The Ukrainian people are human beings and the Palestinian people are human beings who deserve help. What the devilish Jews are doing is the most ugly act against a human being.
These trucks will take humanitarian aid to civilians affected by an illegal invasion of a sovereign state. If you can’t agree with that I’m sorry but I can’t help you
As is your prerogative, the trucks will transport humanitarian supplies to civilians who need food, water and shelter. If you have issues with that I can’t help you buddy 🤷♂️
@@thehistoryexplorer That is your perception how is it that there is no speak of a cease-fire ever never once have that been put onto the table only more weapons and money to them I find that very questionable

You lost me when you asked for money for the Ukraine. America first

@@thehistoryexplorerWell said …………. What this guy thinks America first has to with anything.
Greatest generation... I've seen so many photos of this beautiful town but this put a different perspective on them...
That’s all I wanted to achieve. Thank you
The ultra-slow fade really makes these images even more poignant.
Magnificent....
So glad you enjoy it buddy
Your work is Brilliant! I've spent a lot of time in Normandy and you give fantastic context to some of the sites I've visited. I was in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Incredible experience. Looking forward to your next piece!
Many thanks! I’ve got hundreds of videos coming 👍
I stayed in St. Marie Du Mont for a day a couple of months ago. This brings back awesome memories.
So cool! I bet you had a great time
Never forget what these brave men did in the hard fight to free France from the Nazi invasion stopping its spread to Great Britain and further west. Great job in transforming modern images to actual real historical footage.
Thank you so much my friend
So interesting, I love getting to walk around these historic places. wish I was there in person!
That means the world to me, so glad people enjoy these videos

Yes you’re right! I wanted to film inside as I’m aware of the story but there was a service at the time! Such a shame
Very interesting as usual. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you for the kind feedback

He most certainly is. You are correct Sir 🫡
And Webster wrote a book.

I have to say I would love to retire in one of these villages and just explore every day and live my army pension 😂 beautiful part of the world
Just brilliant
Thank you very much!

It’s a sad thought

Thank you so much! And thank you for the kind feedback
Another great video Rob, thanks for all your efforts in bringing these to us, it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you Willie, my friend 👍
Thx for the intersting Video. And for the effort in pronouncing my Channel name :)
Thank you! Hope I got it right!
@thehistoryexplorer it was good! Should have picked something easier when in started this channel 😉
I kept thinking, “And this too shall pass.” Thank you so much. How very poignant.
Glad you enjoyed it, I had such a good time making it and felt so much closer to those images and the people
Rob - brilliant!
Thank you buddy
Excellent as always
Thank you Jon! Appreciate it
I love these videos! Will you go to British beaches and battles? I'm going to visit next summer
That's the plan! Glad you enjoy them and have a great time on your visit
Nice video, glad to be a part of the Ukraine support project!
Let’s see how we go! Cheers Jesse
I’ll never forget the greatest generation ❤ very very few left here on earth 😢🇬🇧🇺🇸
The greatest generation so far 😉
Brilliant show! thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video. Amazing to see how little the village has changed. I assume there was not too much damage to the village during it's liberation? Yet again you have brought to life scenes from the invasion of Normandy. Do you know what unit tried to execute the US paratrooper? Many thanks
Thank you very much. It would have most likely been a static unit from the 91st Luftlande division but it could also have been fallschirmjäger
@@thehistoryexplorer Many thanks
My uncle landed on Normandy, spent his Christmas in Baston.
My great uncle was killed on Normandy.
The last song a vet hears is taps.
So sorry to hear that, you must be very proud of his legacy though. Thank you for sharing his story
Awsome! So nice these now and then! Time travelling in a different style! One day we will be ghousts too?
How true. So glad you enjoy the video

Why is that Easy Company/statue photo infamous? Don't you mean famous?
