she was one of the few girls who could get married in a real silk dress at that time. speaking of which, its kind of impressive the ammount of silk that went into making all those parachutes
This was pretty common, especially among paratroopers. Paratroopers got a reserve parachute that was usually white silk as opposed to the camo pattern that was on their main, so many would take them home to their sweethearts.
My grandmother was a nurse in France during WWII and suffered from PTSD far worse than both of my grandfathers who fought in Japan. The things she must’ve seen... God rest her soul
Her story tugged at my heart. I was there with her in 1944 when she met her soon to be husband washing clothes. Talk about the good that came out of this war and their happy life together for 76 years that followed. Wow! What hell she and her family endured during their German occupation and to get George back at the end. Blessed, truly blessed.
A stellar episode once again; she is so beautiful and excellent storyteller, too. Reminds me of my lovely grandma and her stories about her life during WWII. Grandma passed away ten years ago (born in 1925). She experienced the WWII and German occupation as well as a young girl. It was common that civilians had relationships and babies born with German soldiers at that time in Finland, Europe. The Germans where not generally accepted everywhere, depending on the region. Thank you so much for your hard work and the series!
@@LPJMagicmusic - with her well descriptive words I could picture in my mind the scene she presented. The same way a great author can put you into a story that is written in a great novel. No I’m not that old but I do wish I was part of that generation. I have served just quite a few years later.
@@MrWATCHthisWAY no bro... There's nobody would ever wish to live inside of the war... Trust me, cause war already took so many lifes like her friends, her family, and the others..
What a treasure. She's a voice from the past worth listening to. And a face so emotional. Thru pain and joy she has had such a life as we will never know of but for this glimpse. Thank you Anna. And thank you Memoirs Of WWII.
man just listening to her stories gives me goosebumps. what an incredible story. Calling out netflix or amazon prime to make this a movie, i mean every ww2 stories should be made a movie.
This Lady is so sweet. Thank you for sharing HER story. As a young child, I had a friend who's mother was from Holland. She would tell stories of the Nazis occupying the town she lived in and watching Allied bombers flying over head. I still remember her strong Dutch accent. RIP Marie.
Every episode end up with « Everyday we lose hundred of World War Two veterans » This lady ended up her story by saying she wished they could had the chance to interview her husband when he was there, cause he was a talker. Those men have stories to tell, she just told us herself and thanks for what you are doing Josh, one more time you brought tears in my eyes. Those stories are invaluable.
The world was lucky anyone survived. It was you, who saved his life. With your help, he buried the things he saw and felt for a new life I know this because those were the feelings of my father. One of the only things he ever talked about, after surviving WWII.
Yet another great video. Little bit of a tear jerker, especially when she gets up set. I like the wedding dress made of parachute. Keep the videos coming, they are well worth the wait. Thanks you for bringing these stories to us.
My heart melted as soon as you started talking. Her voice and accent is just sooo 🥺. God bless her and her family and suffered and survived on all sides.
Yes, indeed. We do say "fixin' to" or "fittin' to" do something rather than the traditional, boring "going/gonna" do something in Texas and the South. Remember the American South is a place, not just a direction.
This woman made me cry. What an amazing story. I think the wedding dress is so special like the woman who wore it. She was so beautiful when she was a young woman. I just love how they met. Thank you for this beautiful story. Rest in peace to your hero. What an amazing footage. The greatest generation...
It was very touching to hear what she and her husband went thru. I could feel the emotion when she described her brother showing up, describing the wedding dress and then spending 76 years with her husband. Thank you for bringing this story to us.
6:40 - 6:51 the joy in her laugh. The happiness it reminds her of. I'm glad she was able to find happiness in such a dark and strange time. This put a smile on my face and makes my eyes water. You can see and hear the joy she feels thinking of that memory 😥 Love. Thank you for capturing this!
It’s amazing. When you hear the beginning of her story, the perspective is that of the little girl inside recalling the war through young eyes. By the end, you feel the deep emotion behind the young woman she had become, and the heartbreak of losing her best friend. All in a matter of 14 minutes. Imagine living this in real time, what a life she must’ve had.
To see the love they had for each other, the way she remembers him, and how she talked about seeing him after the Battle of the Bulge is such a beautiful thing. You could see how she empathized with him and helped him recover. This story kept me crying with happy tears. Makes me sad at how people now dont seem to experience love like that anymore. They had a powerful Love. Thank you for the stories and hope to watch all of them
omg, this story made me crying. I can really feel what she feel and the other people there by listening her story and the footage. The end of WWII really helped my country to get its independece :')
These stories are so wonderful. It breaks my heart sometimes. The things they went through they things they had too do was tough enough for them to bye together 76 years is a truly beautiful thing.thank you all so much for doing What you do
Wow, what a powerful and beautiful story. I felt every single emotion she was going through. What a wonderful couple, and what an amazing lady. Thank you Anna Matysik for sharing! This was better than any movie I've seen! Thank you Memoirs of WWII for your continued exemplary work!
My God, the youth of today need to hear these stories. They have no idea how simple their lives are because of the sacrifices of those who came before them.
I work at a retirement home here in Stockton California and we have a ww2 veteran named William White, I wish you guys could interview him, he has so many amazing stories. He was in the battle of Iwo Jima and he’s a great man. He is now 104 years Old if I remember right.
What absolutely floors me is that some people just Know when they've met their mate.... Here comes a handsome, young soldier, the pretty girl hides hetself....but, yet, the soldier knows he's just seen his future wife!! He and buddy turn around and when they see the girl come back outside, he comes up behind and taps her on the shoulder..... And the rest is history!!! How is this even possible?!? Happily married for nearly 77 years.....wow...some folk are just super smart, and Blessed by God. Thank you for this slice of War history....I cried all through the video. God bless Memoirs Of WWll. 💜🕊💜
Merci pour ce partage sur une époque sombre de l'histoire de France. Nous avons dans nos familles des dizaines d'anecdotes similaires, légères et tragiques, du quotidien des hommes et des femmes civils qui durent supporter le blitzkrieg, l'occupation, puis l'enfer du front durant la libération. La guerre ne touche pas seulement les soldats, et vous l'avez présenté avec brio
I havent finished the video yet, but have cried a couple times. She is so sweet and precious. This is one of my favorite videos from this channel so far. After finishing it,... this is my favorite video. The ending "...he was really good to me" absolutely got me 😭 God bless her and her family for making him feel like family which he needed after going through what he did. Glad they spent so many wonderful years together. She has so many memories to keep him alive forever.
There is no like button or heart button or thumbs up to give the proper amount of praise that this story represents. This is truly wholesome love, that stands the test of time.
Stories like this are what make me very angry at whats going on in our world today. I feel as if people forgot about the inhumane atrocities that occured during this time period of our world. We must rise up and keep rising up to make sure this never happens again.
Thank you for that amazing story. I live in Old Harbour Jamaica and not very far from my town the U.S. had bases , NAS Little Goat Island and the U.S. army air base Vernam Field.
Yup, it’s going to take a while to compose myself after watching this video. Thank you so much for your work with these interviews! I think it’s important for folks to understand who is responsible for the freedom that they enjoy.
Oh man, this one made me cry real good. These are very powerful stories. My grandfather was in the Army, he joined at LA in 1942, I guess that's why these stories hit me different.
Thank god for the sacrifices made by the allied forces, so that the Nazis were defeated. Those men were the greatest generation for what they did, and SCREW anyone who bashes America, or War vets
Her husband, Mr. Noah used to plow a field beside my house when I was a child and he would pick me up on that tractor and let me ride with him. As a kid I never had a clue he was a Soldier in the Battle of the bulge. He was an amazing man!
Funny how some folk can move to another country whilst young and their accent hardly changes where as others it does. I have an elderly Irish lady living below me who moved over to England when she was 15 and she's 80 now and still has a thick Irish accent. My uncle moved to Wales in his twenties and he'd only been there ten years or so and when he comes back over to England he gets called taffy and yet my other uncle who moved there and has been there longer still has a Mancunian accent. Suppose it depends in the person. This lady in the story been in the states about 70 years and still sounds French.
how poetic, a wedding dress out of a military parachute. life, out of war
You said it perfect, amazing couple..
This isn't the first time that I have heard of a wedding dress being made out of a parachute. I like the way you put it.
she was one of the few girls who could get married in a real silk dress at that time.

yeah this part got the tears flowing
This channel is the definition of quality over quantity... Love it!

I cant even imagine the things the nurses saw.. They fought a different war than the men.
@@joe0813 I can imagine all of the mangled bodies they saw when treating injured soldiers.
Amen!
We are all so thankful for her service❤️
I’m normal pretty good about keeping it together during the videos... but man, I bawled like a baby for her
I'm watching this for the first time on lunch break at work, and I'm trying not to tear up in front of the guys, lol
Absolutely!
I teared up at times and laughed and other times. Great story, well told.
This was rather touching, however a wedding dress made of a parachute... that's quite something!

How can you not love a beautiful story like that?. God bless her and her husband.

God Bless Her.
Got me sobbing yet again, what a brilliant story from an equally brilliant woman. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Its kinda rare to see civillian story
She is such a darling .....
Whoever is cutting onions can stop now
My eyes started sweating a little bit too.
Those damn ninjas and his onions again
No shit. They’re killing me!
unbelievable. 14 Minutes felt like a whole movie.
Such a beautiful woman! You could tell her most emotional moments was not about her own suffering, but that of her husband and family. Bless her

What a treasure trove this brave lady is! Thank you for her perspective; unique and beautiful; a real love story💐💝
Omgosh she's gonna make me cry talking about her wedding dress made from a parachute. I just love her!!
Her husband was a hero, both for his country and his wife. What an inspiration.
My heart melted as soon as you started talking. Her voice and accent is just sooo 🥺. God bless her and her family and suffered and survived on all sides.
Such a Beautiful dress.... from Parachute... that made me tear up a little bit. What symbolism.
I knew she must’ve moved to the south at some point, when she started saying “fixing” hahaha
I noticed that too. Single syllable words that last 3 seconds. God bless this woman.
Yes, indeed. We do say "fixin' to" or "fittin' to" do something rather than the traditional, boring "going/gonna" do something in Texas and the South. Remember the American South is a place, not just a direction.
God bless this lady

She's such a delightful woman! Her generation was definitely one of the greatest.
OMG My big GROWN ASS IS CRYING MY EYES OUT FOR THIS POOR BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! What a strong woman she is!!!!! Wowww!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲

What a love story! Thank you for sharing this to us. I actually recommended this channel to my friends here in Italy and in the Philippines.
Wow. Can’t say I didn’t tear up. Couldn’t imagine the things people went through back then.
This is a beautiful story I really liked it
Man, these videos are the one thing that gets me to tear up. I'm so happy that they got to live a full happy life together.
Someone like Netflix needs to sign this man already!!! Best series on TH-cam or Netflix and would love constant seasons with this awesome editing

I feel fortunate to have heard Anna tell us her story. I noticed that even with her French accent, she picked up the southern twang in her accent.
I absolutly love this Channel and you guys doing amazing job but am kinda sad cuz i am afraid it is too late and there wont be much left
