It is a shame that more stories like these from truly great Americans do not get the attention they deserve in the main stream press. So many great Americans are passing away without every having their stories told. The stories of their incredible sacrifices to maintain our freedom throughout our history. All we see in the news is garbage about so called famous people, or corrupt politicians arguing about which party is going to get the biggest chunk of the money. Thank you for letting this great American tell his story of service to our country. Thank you Mr. Carnarius for sharing your story. You truly are a great American.
That is because what they did was classified. The classification is just now being changed. Unlike today military where they but everything on social media, these men knew what a classification meant.
60 Minutes CBS did a Very inspiring full show about 4 Ritchie Boys still alive and very lucid in 2022. It’s on TH-cam. My algorithm turned it up because I watched the 80th anniversary of D-Day commemoration.
THIS! AND THESE GUYS THESE AMAZING TRUE AMERICAN BADASSES NEED TO BE ON EVERY CHANNEL EVERY STUPID SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLET! THEY NEED TO BE THE FAMOUS ONES! You guys are my idols
Wow! I (and practically everyone who knows me) consider myself a WW2 history nut, but I never heard of the Ritchie Boys at all. Thanks for sharing this, I have some new WW2 research to do!
Definelty research them more! My grandpa was a Jewish German who had to drop out of Adolf Hitler high School to flee to the U.K. He eventually made it to the U.S and a couple years later he enlisted and was sent over to become a translator for the troops in the Bulge. I still have his dog tags with the H for Hebrew on them! He got to later reclaim my family's cigar factory in Dresden which the nazis had confiscated years prior. Otto Landman is the name and he honestly should have a movie made after him. From fleeing nazi germany as a teen to reclaiming his families factory from the nazis who took it away, to graduating from Yale, to pen paling back and forth with Einstein (which I have letters of), to becoming a professor at Georgetown, and also being the one who translated Eva Brauns diary! R.I.P the legendary Jewish high school dropout
@@jeremymullaney8019 I actually think I've heard of him from a documentary, sadly I watch so many that I'm not sure which one. Anyway, he was apparently a great hero who overcame his unfortunate situation in as a Jew in Germany and eventually served to defeat the Nazis. I hope you are proud of that heritage, I certainly would be!
Interesting story. My father-in-law was an infantryman in the 87th Inf Div in WWII. He vividly recalled the Battle of the Bulge, although they didn't know it was called that until they read it in the newspaper while on R&R.
The world war 2 videos are the best these men are our heros if it wasnt for them i wouldnt have the chance to stay home or go school an chase the girls i want
Interesting that he got to interrogate his counterpart. Usually a waste of time as far as your standard interrogations go, as they’re automatically considered to have resistance to interrogation training. Oh, you can get them to talk and they’ll even give you exactly the kind of information that you think you’re looking for, but he knows that intelligence is timely too and he’ll delay giving you the truly valuable information you want. That doesn’t mean he should be thrown in with the rest of the prisoners, quite the contrary, he should be labelled as a high priority information source and several interrogation teams should work on him simultaneously (not torturing him, just wearing him down). Later, after he has shown some level of cooperation, he can be used to share info on their methods, which wouldn’t be high priority information, but still of some value in the intelligence war.

I went to Yale as an undergrad. At a reunion eight years ago, I met a WW2 veteran who had been part of the V-12 program there. I also have my dad's WW2 dog tags with the "H" designator. (Troops in combat in Europe often had that omitted for safety reasons.) So many fascinating stories from that time in history.
May All The Great Americans Respect The Hardly Any Left Still Veterans Of December 7th 1941 At About 7:49 Am First Wave Of Japanese Planes Bombed Pearle Harbor And June 6th 1944 D-DAY That Around 7,000 Soldiers In 48 Hours Died From When They Hit The Beaches, God Bless All Those Soldiers That Lived And Died For Our Freedom And Liberty In This Beautiful United States Of America.
How surprising... A journalist coming in and spinning the facts and a story in order to fit whatever narrative they're pushing at that time, causing great turmoil and strife for those they're "reporting" on. It's clear that nothing has changed since then. This man was an incredible asset during the war, and his work and the things he accomplished during the war were a piece of the puzzle which helped us to finally overcome the obstacle and defeat the enemy. I'm glad he's getting the chance to share his story. Thank you, American Veteran's Center for recording his story and sharing it with everyone. 🙏
Was Walter Cronkite wrong about the rich kids unit? Was CCR wrong about Fortunate Son? Did Bush and Trump dodge the draft, each in their own way? How surprising that a "brave," yet anonymous commenter on youtube is an exact example of what he just criticized.
@@terryallen9546 😂😂😂😂 Oh darn, it appears as though I've struck a nerve and triggered a member of the Chairman Xiden fan club... LMAO. 😂 To answer your question though, yes Cronkite was wrong. The Richie boys were a special unit of immigrants and refugees (which included Jews that escaped from Nazi Germany) that were trained as intelligence officers and enlisted men who were fluent in German (obviously, as some of them fled Germany) and were mostly used in interrogations and counterintelligence. And of course you cannot exist a single moment unless Trump is brought up because you are so obsessed with the man that he makes up 80% of conversations that you participate in. I definitely and highly suggest that you go seek some therapy and counseling because it's clear you have a genuine obsession with the guy. 😂😂
@@SerenityMae11 😂😂😂 yeah, or not. It's interesting that people like you two are more worried about protecting and defending journalists than soldiers. "Journalists" in the United States are particularly strange in that they rarely report facts and instead will create a narrative based on a story that they want to see kick off, so they will have one journalist or network report something that is blatantly false, yet another network will see this and they will pick that up, so pretty soon dozens of networks are reporting it (using the first journalist or network as their source) and it's taken in as gospel and the truth even though there is zero merit to the story. Your intoxicated clown woman Pelosi described it very well in a video that's pretty popular here on TH-cam.
@@terryallen9546 - I agree with three6ohchris that Cronkite was reporting about something he knew little about. Cronkite suffered from a leftist bias, and the best journalists are interested in facts, not pushing an agenda. I was drafted in 1971. As I stood there at the "swearing in" room, with a hundred other inductees in Oakland, one of the loneliest feelings I ever had, I didn't hold any resentment for draft dodgers.
We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we...oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
Love these guys the greatest Generation of all time we’ve all been living under the World War II umbrella for a long time and managed to screw up the country that they fought so hard to build it makes me sick one out of four veterans is homeless in this country but yet our borders are wide open disgusting let’s go Brandon
My answer to the question posed by the German prisoner would be that the difference in the situation is that he is on the losing side. There was no hope of the Wehrmact winning at that time in the war. That point could be truthfully made. Some German Intel people did find favor with Allied Occupation Commands after the war was over.
This is the lamest veteran I have seen Interviewed. What's with all of the comments praising him? He did nothing remarkable. He's not saying that he did. Just because you were in the service in WWII doesnt make you a hero. LMAO. If you were a young man and alive you WERE in the service. It's not really note worthy to have just been so.

Life is really short, but people like him are able to make unbelievable things regardless. Thank you for sharing his story.
cool dude. like most from that time frame. so many different ways to serve. and all of them plays a key role in the success of any army at any time.
Mr Carnarius is a brilliant man and a Hero to me.
THIS! AND THESE GUYS THESE AMAZING TRUE AMERICAN BADASSES NEED TO BE ON EVERY CHANNEL EVERY STUPID SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLET! THEY NEED TO BE THE FAMOUS ONES! You guys are my idols
Especially since they are all dying of old age, they need to be remembered for their sacrifices.

Thank you very much
Heroes all ! The men and women from that time that contributed to winning the war, in my opinion, are all heroes!
Interesting interview ❤️ Thank you for sharing
One day, these interviews will be of incalculable worth to WW2 historians...
Not now??
My Dad was shipped from Europe to Okinawa. The bomb was dropped when his troop ship was 3 days out. I am glad we dropped it.
Careful, you'll get all the bleeding heart revisionists all fired up.
Post script;
Nice car, I used to have a '73.
Hilarious, reading the Generals mail

Keep looking up other Ritchie Boys, & be sure you watch the film by that name!

1776 was greater, they were betrayed too, long before WWII, it is the way of history. Guess we didn't vote hard enough to prevent the decay.
I really want to find out about the stack of boots.
The conclusion must have been edited out.
So I'm not the only one who noticed that lol.
GREATEST REGERATION ELITE MEMBER♡🙏⚘🌐🏞🗻
Were they just enlisted or were some officers it was never explained what I saw was that they were all enlisted
Please watch the film Ritchie Boys! It’s available here on TH-cam for free. ♥️💙💪🏽

The fact that certain German intelligence people found favor among the Allies is proof that information is the most valuable thing in the universe.
Nothing happened in that story 🤔 Or did I miss it ?
I didn’t understand a single thing he said.
AMERICA! 🇺🇸 🗽
I could listen to this guy all day.

I'm confused
