- The D-Day invasion was one of the largest and most complex military operations in history.
D-Day, also known as the Normandy landings, was a crucial military operation during World War II. On June 6th, 1944, the Allied forces, primarily made up of American, British, and Canadian troops, launched an invasion of Nazi-occupied Western Europe. One of the key landing sites was Omaha Beach, where over 30,000 American soldiers made their way ashore under heavy fire from German defenses. Despite facing numerous challenges and significant losses, the Allies were eventually able to establish a foothold on Omaha Beach and push inland, paving the way for the liberation of France and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
It's a complete shame that these documentaries are forced to blur the images in these YT videos. This absolutely needs to be seen by everybody especially the upcoming generation.
I have so much respect for these boys that hit those beaches on that day. I pray they are resting peacefully
Where can I see the uncensored photos?
I agree. It may be disturbing to some, but hiding it away is not the answer. People need to see the bad parts even more so than the good parts in my opinion. Show people how horrible this was and how much those men and women went through.
Its bs they blurr it. Its necessary to see even if disturbing. But a disturbing warning at the beginning and call it a day
I agree with you completely. It’s our REAL history that shouldn’t be forgotten our censored.
America alway hide the truth because it’s disturbing to see what humans are capable of. Especially …
RIP to the brave soldiers ! They had big balls ! 🙏 from France 🇫🇷
God bless all those men. My Uncle parachuted into Normandy the night before D-Day with the 82nd Airborne near St. Mere Eglise. Somehow, he made it home.
To all the men and women who served our Country a Big Thank You. Thanks Bearhunter5
The proudest moment of my life was earning my combat patch with the Big Red One. Truly an honor to have taken my turn in carrying on the legacy of what these men fought and died for. No mission to difficult, no sacrifice to great, duty first…. Till the last round!
@@eddieh3580 😂 I know that more then you can even imagine. I’ve earned the right to speak on the subject. You…. Have not.
I found one of them the other day just walking down the road, I think thats what it is, ive never been in service, like 3 inches tall maybe 2 wide green but the one is red, man i wonder who lost that ill have try find out now , man been war i dont want keep his patch
This is one of the best ww2 documentaries ive seen and there is alot of them
Agreed. I'm just 15 mins into it and hearing specifics on the topography and German defenses I've never heard, with pics I've never seen. Clear, precise. Just outstanding. Thank you!
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this must have been.
I have played world war 2 events in video games. I have very high respect to the brave soldiers who actually served in there. Unbelievable courage.
Tbh the dudes that scaled that cliff to demo those guns had massive balls. Like they needed a flatbed for those thangs
💯💯
D Day vets> Chuck Norris get @ me losers
Haha..... 😂😢😮😅
They ALL had massive balls, made out of good old US steel!
Au contraire, having massive balls slows you down. Maybe even immobilize. Making you an easy target to get killed.
We are free today because of these men May GOD bless them Praise JESUS
We are free because of the brave soviets that 20 milion died of
Thanks to our vets.
Thanks to the Greatest Generation. Heroes.
These guys definitely earned the label The Greatest Generation..
Excellent, doc on this frequently discussed topic.
My father was in Patton’s third army. He was a combat engineer. he landed on Normandy beach. He jumped over the side of the boat. When he seen all of his friends getting shot down in front of him.
So sad… I know a few good men that lived through that war… dad says most were never same!! Thank our vets!!
PTSD, how could any man experience that kind of combat and not be a changed man? I have the highest respect for this generation.
You are old enough to know a few guys who went through ww-2. I mean my dad was in the war, but I'm an old guy old.
@@dr.barrycohn5461 💜
You mean grandfather, not dad.
@@dr.barrycohn5461 no
God bless you all you brave men thank you for the life that you gave me I'm 61 years old now I thought I was a tough man working construction for 30 plus years you know working in the Heat and the cold but you guys and God bless you and thank you so much and God bless America
23:02 The soldier to the far left gets his leg blown off mid step. Terrible, bloody war. A brave bunch of soldiers.
Of all the things that went wrong that day, we still got it done. Glory to God! 💪
Indeed
Praise God!
Buhahahahahah lame. Praise these young boys they did their jobs. Not god. Without them this doesn't happen. God ....
My Dad was a medic on Omaha Beach, changed his life forever.
Pure hell !!
Thank God for the Greatest Generation!

Recap by Tammy AI
wait you might be the loml.....
Really good documentary series
Greatest Generation. Heroes
Truly a different breed of man than America is producing these days. R.I.P. Heroes.
Yes; America is now full of Republican traitors calling servicemen and women suckers and losers, and selling out their country to Russia.
I was born 6yrs after the war ended in South Africa My uncle was in North Africa under Gen Bernard Montgomery and he had the highest praise for him He then went to Sicily and then Italy He never really spoke about the war but I remember him telling me that the greatest thing that really scared him was the German Stucka dive bombers He said the noise it made coming down to drop the bombs was a sound he will never forget He was shot in his head in Italy and they send him back to South Africa He got a plate in his head where he was hit I cry every time I watch any WW11 documentary My mother's cousin also in North Africa but he never came back
Wish you guys can stop blurring out the graphic pictures. Other than that great documentary
God bless those men 🙏
The saddest story I ever heard was told by a coxswain of a Higgins boat on D-day. Absolutely horrifying.
My dad was a coxwain doin exactly what you describe, never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever said one word about it. I beleive he dealt with it every day until he died at 61yrs. old, he got 7 stars in Omaha, North African Mediterranean front, Philippine liberation army, Asian Pacific front, 111th sea-bees construction battalion, presidential citation unit,,,,,@ 18 yrs. old,, hard, hard, hard fkn core unit, where most of them had given their life for me and you and made us what we are today, are wr gonna fight like they did for our country?
Terrific insightful documentary !!
This is why you should not commit a crime ! you disrespect these soldiers that fought, sacrificed and died for YOUR freedom
Show some respect !!!!
Some of these invasion tactics leave a lot to be desired -tanks that can float, too much gear on the soldiers cmon sense was clearly not used
51:23 God gave him a reason to live. He's trying to live a good life and prove to God he deserved being spared on that beach. Thanks be to God he made it. You didn't deserve to die there.
20 minutes in and all I'm thinking is "yo how tf did we win wtf" 😭
You win if you wanna call this idiotic butchery
a win, because you arrived late (as always) and fought tired soldiers who were fighting 6 years without anymore support. At least we sold it hard to you and butchered your Hero suckers in the thousands.
@@miesjk go off queen ✨️
The allies had the most powerful secret weapon ever known to man...
*_The Furor_*
Well, it was because the Brits saved us, don't ya know. LOL
U.S. Army, persistent bastards, aren't we??
The landing craft were part of Operation Neptune under General Montgomery's direction. At the end of the day, Canadian and British forces to the east of Omaha and Fourth Division to the West moved inland forming a U-shaped envelope while 29th and 1st were held up on the beach. The large landing ships, seen towing barrage balloons, were part of Operation Overlord under General Eisenhower's direction and did not land until the beaches were cleared of obstacles.
So the British and Canadians landed on their beaches, then ran over to Omaha beach to clear obstacles before the US forces landed?? 🤔🤔
Omaha and Utah beaches were cleared by American engineers prior to the large landing ships touching the beach. The amphibious landings were directed by Operation Neptune, but American forces were under the command of Omar Bradley after their boots hit the ground.
@@rikijett310 Get over yourself. Noour men eventually got off the bea hes without help.
@@juliemerritt5144 try making sense when you comment.
Those men of those days totally got my respect.. they are true hero’s.. unlike the USA woke military of today..
Great documentary. Terrible casualty. One question: why Navi destroyers can't come earlier to destroy the bankers?
9:50..." twenty one (21) kilometers out." That's too far.
21 kilometers? Isn't that a few football fields?! 😅
@@andrewsmith3257 You'd want body armour....if there wasn't water and artillery everywhere.
@@Homeschoolsw6 didn't do much for those GIs. 10,000 men died on these beaches just to make it 300 yards against the Germans. D-Day was a blood bath. I can barely watch these videos about D-Day without crying. They died for freedom and now look at our society..
@@andrewsmith3257 👍
@@andrewsmith3257that was a poor leadership. imagine whos gonna survived on that approach. leaders should've bombed the defense first. poor soldiers. as if the method they used was to empty the german's ammunition through 10k soldier.
Courage beyond belief. Nerves of steel. This why they have earned the title of THE GREATEST GENERATION.
God bless our men and women, the most brave people over the face of the earth, I’m thankful and I feel very lucky to belong to the USA.
My mother in law served in Desert storm,
super hero.
great illustration
One thing I will say about the Americans, and I am American is that they did not use camouflage to the same effect that the Germans did.
If you look at the German tanks and soldiers they use the landscape bushes branches, anything they could get their hands on to disguise tanks, anti-tank guns, 88 Etc.
And they used this camouflage to great a effect.
I always wondered why we were always lagging behind in that particular area in the ETO.
Not so much in the Pacific because the Marines got wise very quickly that camouflage was key because Japanese had been using it very effectively as well.
Huge respect to our Soldiers Sailors Airmen and Marines of the ETO / Pacific!
My dad fought in the Pacific during World War II. U.s. Navy South Pacific from the Philippines, Guam Saipan all the way up to Okinawa. Rest in Peace Dad!❤
Some Americans in the ETPO did wear camouflage. The Allies did not use it much because (1) they didn't need in the European environment, and (2) so as not to be confused with the SS who wore it.
눈물이납니다 그 분들의 명복을 빕니다🙏🙏🙏 😭 훌륭한 다큐멘터리 입니다. 모두 알아야 합니다
Bilang Filipino. Im thankful to American soldiers to depend my country against Japanese. WW2. Thanks to all veterans of war. End may grandfather is a soldier too.im proud of him. Lov u lolo.
My dad landed on Omaha Beach that morning with the 147th combat engineers, 6th engineers special brigade aboard the US 91. It struck an underwater mine as it neared the Dog White sector. He returned to Omaha Beach after the war and took a picture of the US 91. It was still in the same spot. That pic is next to my comment here.
11:16 Karl Fairburn from Sniper Elite ❤
America's Greatest Generation---ENOUGH SAID! Thanks to the Brave Men From USA, U.K., Canada
My Uncle was on Omaha.
Y’all can make a video about that and I’ll be honored to watch it
Losing 27, of 29 tanks. wOW. And many other obstacles men drowning, seasick, rough seas, just being cold and wet is terrible.many mistakes lost too many men, thanks Bearhunter5
Great documentary but the blurring of clips is not cool
Excellent 🇺🇸🫡💜🙏🏼
good documentary. Way too many ads.
I didn't see even one.
Imagine this happening today and our soldiers have purple hair, facial piercings, tattoos, and don't even know what gender they are hitting these beaches. I thank God for the men and women from this era because their sacrifices helped many, many more people that just Americans. This was truly good vs evil. We will never see the likes of them again. If America ever faces another challenge like this then we are doomed.
lmao!
loool
Imagine the vets' descendants are now neo-Nzs. 🤣
Bro they’ll ask the Enemy to hold the phone for them while they Tik Tok 🤣
Had to make it political.
Cool
The worst Tuesday in History!
@edwardramirez maybe but they did it.
God bless all these Soldiers in Heaven and on Earth
I’m new to the events of D-Day and I’m a bit confused. How were the Germans able to kill so many Americans on D-Day after being bombed by both the Navy and Air Force? Also, didn’t paratroopers take out a few gun nests? In addition, the Germans were shooting at the paratroopers before the landings so they must have been on alert that something big was about to happen
Edit: @20:25, he says the bombardment was ineffective due to the bunkers so that answers one of my questions
44:16 "The Western, or Right Flank..."?
Only if you're headed south?
You tube what’s with the fuzzing out of most important film. Not good for you.
The destroyers got right up on the beach and shelled stubborn bunkers
And machine gun emplacements.
When you say "right up on the beach" how close in yards are you talking?
"...the Americans had to take on more responsibility". And it's been that way ever since.... when is it not our problem?
Minus them the world will slide into evil. They know that. This is where USA makes itself unique compared to china. Chinese are selfish. They can't be a serious global power
I, repeating what was said in an earlier comment, do not understand why some footage has been censored.
@Horsetail43 because it was bloody.
Blurred out images ? On regular TV nothing was Blurred out...🙄
Aerial bombings of the Germans and their bunkers wouldve helped so much for those Allies storming the beaches. Why did this not happen days before the landing?
Have you ever seen the German artillery???!!! They were MASSIVE and much stronger than the regular ones. And this operation was mostly a secret one. You want to do aerial bombing and turn it into an aerial warfare??? Don't forget, Germany had an air force too.....that too was much technologically superior.
I have played this like medal of honor.. o lovd that game.
Allot of people don't know the history of wen it comes to war ...
What Men can do to other Men in a war 😢
*A lot
18:37 "The Americans never stood a chance..."
Even though they won the battle?
I find it disrespectful to have ads in the middle of this; It’s there a way you can turn them off for this kind of video?
There are ads in every video on TH-cam unless you have premium. No he can't turn them off.
Tanan natunaw na
I just wondering what if jureeg an look like ITB..?!
Is it itb here and there..?!
Idk how much the audio effects aid the footage man
Bocage was a bloody hedgerow fighting that eventually cost nearly 60000 Allied lives in it very bitter end .
can somebody explain to me why they didn't demolish the defense first by using bomb before the enter of the poor soldiers?
poor leadership happened and many analyst said the first part was a botched mission.
Some video has the Italian Campaign in it .
Why didn’t the artillery bunkers get taken out near Omaha beach’s??
Seharus 4 atau 5 titik pendaratan sehingga musuh tida fokus menjaga 1titik.
What were the airforce were doing & the naval gunfires
*Air Force
As in "Saving Pvt. Ryan" were Germans who sought to surrender shot on sight?
Im watching just to get rid of the 666 views
I’m the same way!!😂
you mean dead images, huh..
@@stephengreen8206 no. The video was at 666 views before I clicked on it.
Just imagine if the Germans had aircraft, how much more worse it could have been
They did have aircraft. The Allies shot them down.
What is since of watching fuzzed out film.
What?
So sad that they didn't listen to Patton's plan.
What was Patton's plan?
@@johnbrookins5180 to use heavy bombers and obliterate the Normandy coastline and then go in over land but it wouldn't have been so glorious
33:56….did the narrator just say an American soldier was killed by his own men because he was going crazy?😮
no, a German soldier shot him
The Greatest Generation
Brain phart:How did the illustrious Free French of de Gaulle completely miss the existence of the 352nd?? (perhaps he was too busy, burnishing his image)
I think Iwo Jima was worse
No comparison for worseness. Any battle, small or big is worse.
Why did they just drop bombs on Omaha Beach 1st before the American troops step on the Beach...They hand tank mines waiting for them.
when you look around you in the current state of the western world and think this is who's freedom these brave men fought for ....what a disgrace
Yeah it's a shame.
What did you expect a war will produce. Horror.
edited by blurring out certain imagary
Pathetic isn't it? What's the point of hiding the true horrors of war?
Another channel to block from my "suggested" feed.
@@chordiepa.9268 They aren't hiding it. This tells of brave men who went in to free Europe.
@@juliemerritt5144 But not everything that was paid to free Europe.
@@juliemerritt5144 this is how you repeat history.. by blurring the lines, the images, the horror.
Once blurred, easily forgotten.
Атака было спланирована-бездарно,,-масштабная бомбардировка накануне-прошла впустую,-корабельные орудия не разрушили береговые укрепления,-десант выбросили в глубоком месте,-прилив не учитывался,-некоторые части выбросили не в том месте,-пехотя была лишена малейшей поддержки брони...
War is madness
Why blurr the video? We aren’t children
Thank this new generation of kids in an adult world. Thank the so called leaders of the free world that were elected by said kids. We now live in a world of censorship. This is what we wanted.
Never knew why each one of those lst's didn't have quad 50 cal MG's on it!!!!! Horrible planning by the generals!!!! A private could have done a better job!!!! Lots of lives could have been spared!!!!
how annoying are the two so called experts, "the Americans didn't stand a chance" It took us 3 and half hours from landing to taking it.
6 /6 At 600 AM sacrificed in the name of war.
49 minute. 1800 dead on d day?
Just curious if you think that sounds too low or too high? Just wondering. No negativity intended.
