This, The Bridge at Remagen, and The Big Red One are both cult hits, but are largely forgotten as they show the more desperate and horrible parts of WWII the Americans experienced, and the US would rather forget their time in Italy and Hurtgen and Remagen.
I love this movie. I remember getting it from Blockbuster when it first came out. Came out around the same time as Saving Private Ryan so many people seen it. This is one of my favorite movies
My uncle Leo (great uncle) fought in multiple campaigns during the second world war in the Canadian army. I still remember waking up at night sometimes as a child to his screams coming from his room in the basement. The war really changed him, he was completely unable to take a life after it, to the point where if a insect was in the house he had to catch it and put it outside. He would recue bugs in the pool, because he understood that everyone and everything has a right to live. He's buried at the last post here in Point-Claire Quebec. He was like my second father and i miss his big belly laughs so much to this day. Sometimes when i think of him I still cry because someone who i loved so much and who loved me had to endure that horror. When i got older my mother told me all the stories that he told her told when he came back. There's nobody on this planet that i have more respect for than veterans, we enjoy the freedom to chose and the freedom of speech today because they were there to defend us against evil. It bothers me that most of todays generation knows nothing of the wars their relatives and ancestors went though. Being born in 81 would makes me the last generation to have had the honor and true privilege to know these veterans. Rest in peace every single one you honorable men. thank you for uploading this movie and keeping their stories alive.
I had the honor of meeting a veteran of this battle. I shook his hand and hugged him telling him "Thank you for keeping us free." This was 18 or 19 years ago, so I'm sure this old soldier has passed on but I know he's in Heaven after fighting in this Hell
My father fought there. By the time he was wounded and evaced, his unit was down to about 10% effectives. Most of them are buried at the military cemetery by Duran. I was with him in 1965 when he visited that place, to pay respects to the men he commanded. That whole area is eerie to walk around. He took us to the bunker he was in charge of, buried in a copse of trees, it's all been blown to bits. 10 years later, I visited again, came in from an entirely different direction, and walked a near straight line to the bunker. Walking down the trail to the old mill, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and looking up at the ridge with the sun setting behind it, I swear that I saw the ghostly images of men, from both sides looking down at me. I got the overwhelming feeling that they were all there, asking "what did we die for.". To paraphrase the plaque in the cemetery, "here in the fall of 1944, men of the 116th Windhund division fought and died to bring freedom to the world. I just found out that the statue and plaque in the cemetery were stolen in 2017. 80 years on, and the hate still goes on.
I have never heard of this bottle for some reason and I’m a huge world war two fanatic and historian. When I was eight, Daddy got a job transfer to Texas as As management engineer with the veterans administration. He worked on all the humongous laundry equipment they had there, and I’ve never seen such big washers and dryers and all my life but they had to do everything for the entire hospital. Most of that he managed, but he also handled other engineering jobs as well, but I remember seeing so many World War II veterans Koreans probably, and a lot of Vietnam war veterans because they were so young. it was so so sad and dad wouldn’t let me get near the site patient but he would take me up to see the older World War II veterans and Vietnam veterans that had medical issues. When we moved, their dad ordered a time life series instead of books, World War II. The big thing came in the mail and it was the first volume and I took it in my room and I started reading it. LOVED IT!! I was in school nerd anyway, but I love to read and I loved math book. This book was purely adults and had black and white pictures and I was engrossed with what happened. It started up initially with the first volume of imperialistic Japan, in dating China and Germany, post-World War I re-armoring and building up their military. The end of volume one was the invasion of Poland. When the second one came in the mail, dad got it and was asking about the first one and I had already finished it but I had to go Dragula my room and he was amazed that some eight year old girl was interested in World War II. I’ll have to watch this because I’ve heard about so many different battles in Europe so it could’ve been a region I’ve heard veterans talk about that just not the name.
@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 This battle was overshadowed by the failure of Operation Market Garden and the Ardennes Offensive. Coincidencely the defensive success by the German in Hurtgen Forest, led the earlier of Ardennes Offensive went further and caught the US defense line off guard in Bulge and the rest is history
@@PerJustert yes... It still happens. Am living in normandy and people are... And were at 80th celebration of 44 landing on beaches here... Well they are still whether "for" allied forces and liberation or... "against". I heard people.. Germans (sons of vets or even vets) who complained about local inhabitants behaviors with them. Hate never stop... Completly. My dad was engaged in 101 AB in 44. He fought in bastogne. But was born in köln and as a refugee in east germanic part of france in 39 could have been sent on russian front in 42/43 as many of his colleagues in Metz. Hoppefully my gran ma could sent him suddenly in Nancy till 44. On my mother side they were living in germany too and fleed nazi repression in 35 and continued the resistance in france. All those of this numerous engaged family who stood in germany disapeared before the end of the war. So... I have a weird "vision" of this conflict... Born in france from an american father and a german mother. Yes.! forgiveness and peaceful feelings after 80 years aren't won for everybody today.
When he says "dont pick me up any more , it hurts" that broke my heart when he was crying like that , i have been in that exact place when you just want to die and you cannot take any more pain .
It was absolutely devastating 😢 I almost couldn't watch it. I can semi relate to it as I've served in Afghanistan. But I haven't experienced this type of horror.
This is the 28th Division. The Keystone Division, The PENNSYLVANIA Division. My Uncles fought with the 28th in Europe and my cousins in Operation Desert Storm.
I served in the 28th for 12 years and served in Iraq wearing that patch. I am extrememly proud to have been in war with my brothers from my state and alot more from all over. We fought in Ramadi and it was considered the hardest fighting in all of the Iraq war between 2005-2006. Roll On Iron Soldiers!
I thought I’d heard of or seen all of the decent war movies but somehow this one got by me. They do a good job of keeping the audience in suspense in this one.
Casualties were around 30 to 50,000 men on the side of the allies. Got to be one of the bloodiest single battles ever fought by America, alongside Gettysburg, Battle of the Bulge and Battle of Okinawa
Great movie!! Thanks for uploading :) It’s one of my favorites because my dad was actually an extra in this movie! I remember back in '98 when he traveled to Budapest for a short filming
Great stuff. The filming occurred only 7 years after the collapse of the Soviet empire and most of the captive European nations were eager to establish free capitalistic societies and join NATO. I was wondering where this was filmed and you answered my question.
Psalms: 144 - Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. Blessed be my Father, a Pvt who served on a M16 anti-aircraft half Track in Tunisia, Corsica, Sicily, Italy, and Germany, where he was awarded 4 Bronze Stars with "V" for valor.
I work in an assisted living facility and one of the residents always tells stories of being in the Korean war and starts crying every time saying how horrible it was and how scared he was. He forgets a lot of things, but he always remembers in detail his experiences and the people that died. He never forgot and sometimes acts like he just has to tell somebody. Another person in the facility was also in the Korean war and he just talks about how he hates them and makes fun of them and how much they deserved getting "the bullet" and laughs about killing them and likes to tell the details too. When I was in high school one of my classmates went to Vietnam and when he came back, he was an entirely different person, not in a good way either, telling stories of walking through the jungle and never knowing second by second what will happen, kill or be killed and feeling very guilty. I have a lot of respect for these men and even through their stories, I still can't comprehend what it must have been like. I have an aggressive dog and the best place for me to walk him is in a graveyard where there are a minimal amount of distractions and every time, I walk past somebody who has a military service memorial I always salute and say, "thank you sir" and stop for them to pet my dog.
On the other side, the nation that better at mastering in jungle Warfare insurgency at Europe is British-Canada. The Reichwald Forest were also happened, similiarly to Hurtgenwald with a month of fighting. British-Canada were just better against the German in a jungle warfare and look how they went fullblasted with their firepower against Germany Defense during Operation Veritable. Reichwald forest had polarly opposite result to Hurtgen where it cost 44000 men casualties for Germany whereas British-Canada lost 12000 men.
I seen this yrs ago. One of my favorites. It goes against the narrative and really hits home and reminds us of the hell men have to go through during war. If you think about it ever since the anti war film “all quiet on the Western front”, which was to remind the Germans not to start another war, which they did. Well here I am today and we never learn. Must have something to do with the infrastructure of war and man’s imperfections and his sinful nature not being perfect. Next generation come on down! wtf
I almost quit watching more than a few times because I was sick of watching brave American soldiers being wasted by GALLACTICLY STUPID officers. I'm glad I stuck it out. God bless all who served there. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ 🫡 🇺🇸
I reada bout this battle of the Hurtgen forest. It was so brutal , probably the worst battle of WW2 in the European theatre. It happened right before and during the Battle of the Bulge. It was so dark within the forest because the trees were so dense and one cannot see the sun throught the trees. It was all a wait and see and a cat and mouse game. So many men died on both sides and US did not have a chance. They were not trained for this kind of terrain and the weather was so insane.. Unfortunately, it is not a well known The soldiers needed more credit than they received.
550,000 US soldiers died in vein in European soil! My family survived the Vietnam war after dad Hoa Em Trran a SouthVietnam Army lieutenant Commander who spent 5 year as POW by North Vietnamese army passed due to COVID!!!God blessed soldiers whose hearts and souls rest in peace!! May God bless human kind a wisdom to live with one another in Harmony
So this infantry squad, and probly the company, were sent to take artillery positions supported by tanks and Stugs, with no bazookas or any anti armor weapons? This movie was very psychically tough to watch. The suffering was beyond comprehension.
I love this movie. Remember renting the video. I've got the dvd somewhere. Some great acting and a lot of familiar faces in this one too.Flamethrowers are the worst. Deadly to the enemy but carrying gallons of petrol on your back? No thanks. To those guys who actually went through this I can only thank you for your service.
I'm not even sure that was possible after a huge Confederate loss in the Civil War. But then again Kamala Harris went from being the worst VP in history to the great shining hope of the Democrat Party for President.
I like this film. It's the only film that I know of that attempts to tell the story of the Battle of The Hurtgen Forest. However, there are some inaccuracies. Anyone who knows what the Kall river looks like, knows that you won't need a Bailey bridge.
This film is not about the battle in the Hurtgen forest and gives us no understanding of why, how or the outcome of the battle. This is about poorly trained soldiers who are threatened to carry out tasks that they do not have the qualifications to handle.
Charles Whitings Book "The Battle of Hurtgen Forest" is a terrfic and fascinating anecdotal History of this truly horrific episode during late 1944 of WW2.Tbh his whole series of books on the latter stages of WW2 in N.W Europe are amazingly enlightening,highly readable Tomes iirc!🤔 🌍⚔️📚🤩👁😎✌️
Obviously this is the 28th Inf. Div. "Keystone Division" but I wonder what Regiment, every division had three in WWII, the 28th was composed of the 109th, 110th & 112th Inf. Regiments.
Pvt. FNG "Heard the kruats got nothing but old men and children left" Later on gets kicked in the ass by the meanest looking German in the whole damn battle lol
well how easy is it for someone to act rationally when they are frightened. What are your fears, if applicable? What are your differences & are you superior? It is easy to mock or question rather sardonically what we have not experienced, sitting back in comfort with what you consider to be "quick wit". enjoy, weirdo.
Pretty much. In Hurtgen, the US suffered with 55000 casualties and 28000 casualties for the German. The battle was overshadowed by the Operation Market Garden disaster and then got erased by the Battle of the Bulge counterpart. However, I would say the Battle of Reichwald Forest (Operation Veritable) was even too often overlooked in the late of the war in Western front and it was overshadowed by the Operation Blockbuster and Operation Lumberjack (battle for Remagen Bridge). The reichwald forest battle was totally opposite result to what Hurtgen Forest was. British-Canada lost 12000 men while the German lost 44000 men. Yup, British Canada went ultimate insurgency blast in this one and totally crushed the German defense in Reichwald. The british-canada was the real master of any warfare, specifically jungle warfare
The movie title triggered a spinal reflex of shivering happiness. "Finally, reason has prevailed with our NATO allied on the other side of the Atlantic", I thought. But when I try to remove the cork from the champagne bottle, I see that it says When Trumpets fade, not Trump. 😅

A grossly underrated and largely forgotten war film, much like the Battle of Hurtgen Forrest itself.
This, The Bridge at Remagen, and The Big Red One are both cult hits, but are largely forgotten as they show the more desperate and horrible parts of WWII the Americans experienced, and the US would rather forget their time in Italy and Hurtgen and Remagen.
@@Rhugor Great comment. The Bridge at Remagen is right on par with this movie.
I couldn't stop laughing 🤣
@@loneranger5349why?
Stalingrad from 1993 is also to mention.
I love this movie. I remember getting it from Blockbuster when it first came out. Came out around the same time as Saving Private Ryan so many people seen it. This is one of my favorite movies
And the thin red line .. 1998 was the year for ww2 movies it seems ..
@@HerrHeckler yup. That is a great movie too.
I watched this cuz u said it was good never again will I believe u nexted time😢
Shit movie, same as thin red line!! Your taste for movies suck!!!🍻🍻🍻🍻🖕🖕🖕🖕
Hell yeah, I remember watching it on HBO.
Another great movie from 1992 is "A Midnight Clear"
Not sure how I missed this one from when it first came out until now - but missed it I did. Great film. Thanks for uploading.

Err, more like 180,000 including navy and air corps.
Great movie. Not sure if Dwight Yokoam pulled his role off as colonel but he was a big star in music back in 98
I can't imagine seeing life end, dismemberment & screams of pain the 1st time around. PTSD crippled many a mind in the midst of action. 😢
This is the way war movies should be. Grim.
''They served those lives They did not live.
For They in Their day we're They.''

Superb movie! Far better than Saving Private Ryan which came out the same year, and made with a fraction of the budget as well.
.........What a waste of life, it was not necessary to go through the Hurtigen forest.
I saw a documentary on it and wondered same thing. Why not just stay south of forest?
In spite of the bravery of the men it was doomed to fail
A bloody great movie. Well made. Realistic action scenes. Fantastic.
Watch this movie almost 30 years ago . Still an A plus movie for TV.
This Was so much more than I expected. Ron did such a good job in this film that I forgive him for some of his other work 😂
Greetings from Australia. What a fair dinkum movie. What fucken men. Very realistic.
Not me bedpan!’😂❤
Captions would be helpful for hearing impaired.
Great movie ive visited the hurtgen wald many times. Scary place where people died like flies
They gave so much in freedoms cause - God Bless them all.
The battle of the bulge was a very brutal affair and I acknowledge the brave men who fought and died in the entire war
This isn't that though
FABULOUS MOVIE 💔🎥🍿💝
Thanks Old boy.
As far as war movies go, this movie is among the best of the best, at the same level of " Saving private Ryan".
Saying ... history repeats itself , today in Ukraine , just like Great Britain fighting alone ...very close ,just a little time , really close to...
This would be so much better without the "pink panther" soundtrack!
So this infantry squad, and probly the company, were sent to take artillery positions supported by tanks and Stugs, with no bazookas or any anti armor weapons?
This movie was very psychically tough to watch. The suffering was beyond comprehension.
Calling for air support and only receiving thin air instead...
I think most of the losses occured because of completely incompetent officers...
I love this movie. Remember renting the video. I've got the dvd somewhere. Some great acting and a lot of familiar faces in this one too.Flamethrowers are the worst. Deadly to the enemy but carrying gallons of petrol on your back? No thanks. To those guys who actually went through this I can only thank you for your service.
I hope Schindler's List could also be uploaded here, got to thanks in advance for it.
Go on streaming community It should be there of you search it
Private to liutenant in 3 days of war😂
I'm not even sure that was possible after a huge Confederate loss in the Civil War. But then again Kamala Harris went from being the worst VP in history to the great shining hope of the Democrat Party for President.

Pvt. FNG "Heard the kruats got nothing but old men and children left" Later on gets kicked in the ass by the meanest looking German in the whole damn battle lol
And yes I seen this moive a few times now and it’s very wall put to gather more movies should be made like this one to show how wars are
Very Powerful ... The Great Generation.
I always root for the Germans as well as the USA and this was actually a good movie
Two star general collins should have been relieved of command for this cluster F.
A bit different from the usual All American brothers in arms Hollywood crap.
Excellent movie.
Such a candy ass movie!!
I've sence few people hating the soundtrack and I'm like 😑
22:48 Scared? HUH!! Scared? Yeh!
Check out 54:50 if you want to see a man scream for 60 seconds straight
Also I'm pretty sure that's not the most effective way to use a flamethrower
well how easy is it for someone to act rationally when they are frightened. What are your fears, if applicable? What are your differences & are you superior? It is easy to mock or question rather sardonically what we have not experienced, sitting back in comfort with what you consider to be "quick wit". enjoy, weirdo.
What’s even funnier is that they keep using the same sound over and over.
DWIGHT YOAKAM is included-i watch!
First saw this in 1998 working at NREL with MRI. Ron Eldard was my favorite actor in it. Martin Donovan too.🪖🎚️🇺🇸
no its not forensic files.
I like this movie has a solider we have to make that sacrifice for our country it's the choice we make
No subtitled to Indonesia 🤔
Pretty much. In Hurtgen, the US suffered with 55000 casualties and 28000 casualties for the German. The battle was overshadowed by the Operation Market Garden disaster and then got erased by the Battle of the Bulge counterpart.
However, I would say the Battle of Reichwald Forest (Operation Veritable) was even too often overlooked in the late of the war in Western front and it was overshadowed by the Operation Blockbuster and Operation Lumberjack (battle for Remagen Bridge). The reichwald forest battle was totally opposite result to what Hurtgen Forest was. British-Canada lost 12000 men while the German lost 44000 men. Yup, British Canada went ultimate insurgency blast in this one and totally crushed the German defense in Reichwald. The british-canada was the real master of any warfare, specifically jungle warfare

The movie title triggered a spinal reflex of shivering happiness. "Finally, reason has prevailed with our NATO allied on the other side of the Atlantic", I thought. But when I try to remove the cork from the champagne bottle, I see that it says When Trumpets fade, not Trump. 😅
Trump is a draft dodger and wouldn't make a pimple on any of these men's as$es.
awesome
