When I was 13 I had the privilege to speak with a WWII vet. He was one of the troops on the first wave. He told me this.
"Son it was an experience worth a million dollars, but I wouldn't pay a nickel to do it again."
An experience for those that survived XD...I could be paid $1 billion and I wouldn't take it
@@alphonsusho8962 facts 😂
What strikes me about ww2 is that unlike other wars where the combatants feel the carnage is exaggerated, most ww2 vets think the wars been pacified in the movies and docs. Makes you really think.
That’s probably because the scale of the fighting. Today, most actions are done in small groups and guerrilla type warfare. A sort of hit and run type of fighting. Back then it was still closer to trench warfare. You dug in and shot until you ran out of bullets or enemy combatants. Also the Allies weren’t too familiar with the terrain they were fighting in either. They had recon back then but the info was more or less from spies, dated maps, and pictures taken from planes, not the sophisticated satellite imagery that is used today. That is kind of weird though. War is war, its all terrible.
@@iammelon7803 agreed
Idk..the depictions of ww2 seemed so brutal. A conflict that swallowed the world.. Entire countries were razed to the ground.. and I’m not talking 3rd world…atomic bombs falling! A maniacal demagogue that tried to take the world with him?? Naw..that’s all the depiction I need.
I agree with the others. WW2 was the last battlefield war. Though, my godfather was in Fallujah and that was carnage on both sides.
When trumpets fade is a good war movie to watch on how brutal ww2 was.
No one really understands how transformative of a conflict WW2 was. The conflict forever changed our world. The most destructive conflict in human history.
And it turned everyone anti-war

Happy New Year Yall .We are currently experiencing the greatest transfer of wealth ever recorded in the world history therefore investment is the best option
@@petekelvin2736 shush. Go get a life mate
✙⓵⓸⓻🄀⓻⓷⓻⓹🄀⓽⓹!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
My parents were born into the Great Depression. They lost cousins and older friends to WWII and my dad lost his fingers in boot camp when a m1 garand misfired before he was sent to Korea. My family weren't warriors but we tried to be. I joined the Navy during the gulf war in 91. Then things got political and I left after 4 years. After 911 I was still able to re enlist. I should have but didn't. 20 years later it haunts me.
The war after 9/11 became political too
@@gavintoussaint3237 nah war has allways been political.
@@bubliestheeart thats what i said tho. Every war is political in some way or another
@@gavintoussaint3237 wars have always been political, USA even provoked Imperial Japan to attack the Pearl Harbour, to have an excuse to wage war legally! Even took the Unit731 data.
Why does it haunt you. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.
We love the your videos with much inside details to made the stories come to life for your audience. During WW2 our father worked on British merchant marine convoys supplying war materials to England. During 2 separate trips the ships were torpedoed by German submarines. He and some of his other comrades were picked up from their life raft by another ship. After escaping death twice this way, he decided to jump ship in New York. However by coercion he was inducted into the US Army April, 1943. Father served in Al Levy's unit, the 288th Field Artillery Observation Battalion. Could you bring this part of history alive for our family and friends sometimes in the near future? Thanks!
He shoulddd
U can suggest topics on their website it's in the video description
Narrator says M1, the rifle shown is a bolt action 1903 Springfield.
The Browning Automatic Rifle is depicted as a belt fed machinegun on a tripod instead of a man portable magazine fed automatic rifle.
Don’t forget the helmets mistake look like one was a German design
It's in every video - feels like illustration with assets they already have.
Im gonna say im not an expert, but ive never heard of the assault troops on normandy having anything but immediate loads. They had support just a few miles away. And there was 5 beaches that were shelled by battleships and were no contest. omaha beach was missed and was a slaughter. And the canadians made 20 miles the first day and were ordered to stop lol
They were given things to survive 1-2 days at least. Even then, the list is kinda long. 18 items are on the list I found. Some of those items they wore, the ammo pouch, the trousers and jacket, the helmet. Then they had their first aid, dinner rations, canteen and gas mask. The entrenching shovel, rifle with sling, sidearms and holsters, cleaning kits for the firearms. Stop watch, etc. They had a lot, a lot of little things…. I think they were carrying 60 extra pounds total, not just in the backpack.
There are tons of inaccuracies in this video. The most egregious being the M1 Garands having bolts in the video. It’s like the animators did not do their homework
Frist video of the new year let's go 🎉🎉🎊🎊
I love these videos. Great job infographics
Why is this channel so fun to watch 🤣
Because you didn't have to live this.
Did anyone else notice that the flag is an anachronism? The 48-star version has them arranged in a neat rectangle. This one has 50 stars, and didn't exist before 1960.
You beat me to it!
Also i'm not sure if they had this policy that far back. But when i served in the 90's and 2000's. We wore the flag on our shoulder's facing the other direction. So the enemy knew we were charging towards them.
@@stevenscott2136 I was going to say the same thing.
Also the Americans are wearing stahlhelms to LOL
When you are hitting the beach you don't have time to dig in . You have to move forward !
Not an M1 or a BAR, that’s a M2 Browning. Love your channel and happy new year’s.
Thank you to the men in service who risked their lives to keep us safe. Men sacrificed themselves. They deserve our respect.
EDIT: Allow me to double down and triple down on my statement. Men accounted for more than 95% of the service and casualties. They were on the front lines. Thank you ladies for being the support work being programmers, typewriters, and factory workers. At the same time, it was the men who sacrificed their arms and limbs and lives for the safety of the society that you live in today. It was men in the front lines on D Day. Men. Yes. That is statistically true. Respect them. And this still exists today.
And women*
@@chaddabbott7565 Are women even allowed to be soliders? I honestly never seen one, btw respect to all female cops
@@deepachauhan949 not in WWII but nowadays there are female soldiers.
@@deepachauhan949 there were small divisions of female soldiers in ww2 but not at dday I'm pretty sure
@@deepachauhan949 the women would be nurses caring for the protagonist in the video (provided he survived), these days most Western armies employ women soldiers.
Love your videos!
The pack described at 1:30 (metal frame, 3 pockets) is a mountain division only item, not a standard M-1928 haversack or the M-1945 field pack that replaced it -- and they hooked onto a suspender rig and didn't have full shoulder straps.
I love these military videos. 💯
Same I like the survival stories to there are amazing
German Soldier: *Dies*
American Soldier: "Lootable" *Proceeds to steal his supplies*
Dibs on the watch!
It's war. It's always been like that.
I love your videos but please do better research. The M1928 Haversack could barely hold a wool blanket and a few MREs. It hardly ever weighed more than 25 pounds. It also wasn't accessible while on their back because it was connected to their ammo belt. Also it only had one pouch and it was the meat can pouch meant for the messkit
This entire video has very little to do with the actual equipment carried by WW2 soldiers. It's a great channel for the most part, but sometimes they put out some lazy, clickbait videos that don't go beyond the bare minimum.
Dam Elliot 💔😔..A True Brother
My great grandpa was 89 years old and able to tell me what happened when he was in WW2 when he survived the war he was rn in the famous D-day but was in many other battles in living battle in africa and battles over Europe and i miss him day by day
This is the only channel that I willingly watch to learn
Everyone is cool until you hear someone whisper auf windersachen behind you.
I love that you classify the M1 Garand as a semi automatic rifle but the illustration shows it being a bolt action rifle lol
First video of the year
I think infographic shows heavily focus on European front, please do more about Pacific theatre from perspective of the marine
great video
To think Eisenhower WASNT even completely confident really says a lot, he wrote that tremendously confident and heartfelt letter but he still had his doubts!!! I can’t imagine the pressure he felt as our leader
Yo my friend needs this thanks
The first few minutes remind me of CoD WW2❤🤣Especially Sgt. Holland or Pierson 🤣
Was this an account from some one on D-day cause it sounds real with the narrative sounding like it's out of a journal
3:48 apparently this US army unit slandered issue rifle is the kar 98
Id say this is the loadout for the parachuters that went behind enemy lines, not assault
Yea assault I would think would be carrying the bare minimum or less at the least so their mobility isn't slowed down by all their gear
Intresting Video!
Despite this animation being made cartoonish and with cheerful music, I still imagine the real horror being there as the soldiers. It's sad...all young men fighting and dying because the old politicians hate each other.
I mean I think the allied politicians had a point to fight hitler’s troops but okay
Makes you think how different the war would’ve been if the A-10 was developed 50 years earlier
You forgot the Yanks, Canadians, and ANZACs most potent tools in WW2: freedom, liberty, and high impact violence.
Nice video
Thank you Infographic show's team for providing us such useful content, we wish you a very happy new year🎉🎊🎇🥳😄
Wow!
This stuff is pretty good!
...But I am glad that things are more advanced now!
I don't know why this makes me feel like a hero in World War 2.
Yes im early also cool video
Hi, name's Jacob Davis. My mother has a grandpa named Pedro Gonzalez, born 1920. He joined the Army when he was 18 and stormed Normandy. Two weeks after June 6th, 1944, the Germans advanced and turned the Americans into prisoners. I'm grateful my great grandpa came home.
7:19 nooo not Elliot :(
Wasn't this supposed to be about what soldiers carried into battle, not how the landings happened?
Not to mention its really in accurate
look at the title and rethink your comment
Thank you sirs
Was designing a landing craft that hard? I thought the Allies knew how entire platoons were massacred the second the ramp dropped. Or maybe I'm wrong, but whatevs.
Nice
Honestly I find it pretty dumb and ironic for whoever animated this video, to mistake an arisaka for an m1 garand, my feedback for them would be to do more firearm research.
And American with a stahlhelm
in all honesty, do you think anybody actually cares?
It's really not that deep bro
I noticed that too
@@tommatom3513 I do, along with other war history enthusiasts like me. We actually care because to us it feels like eating cereal with a fork, which technically works, but it's just not right.
good vid
We need are of the videos made in 2021 into 1 video 👍
42 - 2nd AGAIN !! Missed by 1 second... :P
Who cares?!?! This 1st thing is so 2005
I love WW2
I now have ptsd, thanks.
Let your writer know that you don't need to remind me that I'm me with the word you. After establishing that this Nartive is in the first person try using words like "my". Love the videos keep up the work.
We all know we have 5 Attachments to all our load outs
Do US soldiers loadout during Vietnam War next 🙂
why did they have bolt action rifles when they were issued m1 garands on d-day. Im assuming a edit mistake?
What I have realize from the stories of the WW2 is most of the soldiers smoke cigarettes. It has become a ritual as do the pictures of their loved ones back at home. Great start for 2022. Happy New Year Sir.
Wasn't they a simple history episode about this
Does it matter
@@benardo01 no its just there in a joint company I think and they normally say in a comment about it
@@ryanater69xd ah fair enough i didn't know that
My grandpa was in the war he drove the boats that held men on the shore
the nazis at dday were actually mostly pow, older men, and injured men
The narrator keeps saying "you" like I didn't die on the boat
Thank you.^_^
The most important and consequential day of the 20th century.
Ah yes I've also watched Saving Private Ryan.
3:55 "at least a hundred banana of water"
Interesting
Loved the video but I noticed a couple things that weren’t right, the Americans are using German helmets and weapons?
Is it really that deep?
The rifles are all Japanese arisakas or poorly animated k98s I'm not sure
@@icantthinkofahandle55 I definitely thought K98k’s as well
I love you
What happened to the challenges videos?
I wish the animation was better. When they said BAR that wasn't even close to a BAR. Also the direction everyone was facing was a bit confusing.
Good.
The US Army helmets at 1:58 look a lot like the German stahlhelm.
Can you do a Russia vs Ukraine?
shouldve just spent 10k on a loadout drop so they wouldnt have to carry it smh
i dont think its that obscure but the rifles they use arent garands, the packs arent standard issue, and thats a german helmet on their heads.
GoofyisDroopy
There were actually 5 beaches and lots of locations that took place and theres alot of inaccuracies in this vidio i like your channel though
During OIF, they discouraged us from taking any war trophies, specifically any Iraqi National flags, any article of cultural attire, daggers, AK’s. We were permitted to swipe Iraqi Dinars which became worthless almost overnight and was used by the locals for toilet paper or bargaining chips for soldiers(hey American! Friend! You want Saddam dollars yes? I give to you for $5 American yes?). But trophies still slipped through. I personally took Iraqi money, AK-47 magazine, MRE tobacco bottle filled with desert sand. The only thing I have left after my multiple moves, is my original combat knife I took with me.
This isn't about what soldiers carried, it's more of a summary of D-Day.
My dad was born three years before the outbreak of WW2. Sure. Sweden was neutral under the duration of the war, but they did sell weapons to the allies and was the first country to rescue people from the concentration camps
Weapons to the allies?… more like steel, coal to the Germans
@@junkfish2007 they sold weapons to the allies. They sold tons of anti aircraft guns to USA and the UK. Sweden don't have coal, so you're lying there. They sold weapons to the allies and Switzerland bought iron to Germany thru Sweden, so Sweden never actually sold anything to the Germans
Reminds me of the movie "Saving Private Ryan".
Lest we forget. 💙
Hehe M1 Garand go PIINNGG
why are the m1 garand animations bolt actions
I wonder if any lives would have been saved if it was possible to turn the backpack forward facing.
No
Why "no"? Seems to me that your gear strapped to your back could "catch" bullets if strapped to the direction traveling.p
At first it was africa then omaha beach?? Probably not the same gear loadout
sad ending for elliot
i still have my gramp's military issued dark gray wool blankets. and man, those are like giant scotch Brite pads. yeah it's warm, but it can peel a potato if you roll one on it!🤣
LOL, military grade blankets..
We make world war II sound like it was a heroic bash! 🥳😂😂
1st viewer india
the sea sick was brcause they had a moral boost feast the night before
that's not an m1 garand and not a BAR. looks more like some bolt action rifle and an m2 machine gun
So Many mass casualties, but even operation D-day was nothing compared to operation Barbarossa! ⚰️☠️
Soldiers often bludgeoned their enemies to death with their rifle butt's, up close and personal once out of ammo.
Nasty! 🥶
Well yeah...
My grandad never got his feet wet. I don't see why they got out of the boat into the water in this video rather than just run aground. Maybe someone can tell me? When the tide comes in it would be easy to get out too
BAR still firing? 20 rounds doesn't last long.
Im surprised that soldiers could even light a cigarette. Seriously watch the beginning of Saving Private Ryan and tell me that you could light a match
jerry was actually used during ww1, less commonly during ww2
Ummm why do the Americans have K98ks?? Also they didn’t dig foxholes on the day of attack on the beach all they cared about was getting up fast
Day 1 of asking for a video on what happened to the planes over Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the bombs went off
they were out of the bomb's range when they dropped it, so really nothing happened to them
