- For GIs, the twisting city streets and towering cathedrals of the Nazi Fatherland were as foreign as Oz’s yellow brick road. Nevertheless, in spring of 1945 they moved east, crossing the River Rhine to reconvene with paratroopers of one of the largest airborne assaults in history. These programs, originally produced within months of the events, capture something no modern documentary can recreate.

Great video. History must never be forgotten. God bless these vets.
And we now support these Nazis in Ukraine. Face it. We armed, trained and fund them and they are the real deal. Maniacs all.
My Dad was there.959th fld arty bn. Thanks to all who served.
I collect WW1 and 2 memorabilia I agree 👍
Finally we get to see the real thing instead of some cheesy computer generated cartoon. I can well understand how pissed off these GIs would be if their comrades were shot by a sniper when everyone knows that resistance is futile. Boy the german civilians sure plump and healthy destroying the myth that they were deprived. I had no idea that such detailed film archives of this part of the war existed. Outstanding.
red army rapes 2 million women German,so are allies,and for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs,we won't forget it.......just wait, 😈
When I was younger, I would ask my WWII combat veteran father what it was like.
He always had a very difficult time say anything about what he and the other soldiers went through.
Well I am 75 now and when I came back from Nam, where I spent 5 years both as a fighter and 3 years as a POW, I came back to the "Real World" and even today when someone asks me what it was like, I choke up and can hardly speak and always with tears in my eyes.
Yes people war is definitely HELL.
God bless you both. Thank you for fighting for our freedom, you and your father.
Thank you for your sacrifice for my freedom today.
Why are you missing from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency list of US POW who returned from Vietnam War?
Because you didn't research the right place.
I believe the VA sent my records to Atlanta, or at least that's what I was told, but I'm not concerned with the subject any longer because what's done is done and, "It is,
What it is."
Because I was told by the VA that the only guys who were put on the record was the men who were he
Also, my dad participated in the Ardennes offensive. This was the first time in history that the United State Army was integrated with volunteers and daddy was one of them. He got frostbite and suffered from it.
He was one of what I consider the best generation of Americans. My grandfather was a merchant marine in the war that was a fairly dangerous undertaking as well. I dont want war but sometimes when we have it to easy we can become somewhat spoiled and squabble over pettiness when world war 2 rallied our nation and people. Still not the best time for civil rights that’s it’s only glaring negative but that thinking was indoctrinated we’ve come a way since then. I give thanks to those men
Integrated with volunteers?
Must make you about 70-80 by now…
@@sethbrown2725Only the Marine Corpse had a greater rate of loss of lives than the Merchant Marine. Not well known but nonetheless true,
Idk how I've just discovered this channel!. Anything paranormal and WWII is all me. Im going to have to binge watch the entire channel. Thanks a million!
Great job, Janson,both with quality, and with subject matter, I've never seen before. That's a tall order, thank you.
We should never forget what these men went through for our freedom.
God bless the homeless Vets 🙏
From Dunkirk, at the beginning of World War II, to Normandy, almost at the end, the Allied Armies did not put a single soldier in Germany. Not one. The participation of the Allied Forces in Europe was limited to Aerial Bombing. These actions received a lot of publicity to make us believe that the Aerial Bombings were winning the war. But, there is a very long list of Bombing cities by “Mistake”. The bombing of Nijmegen in the Netherlands (February 1944), it occurred when US bombers returning from a failed mission, as occurred in most cases, were looking for "Optional" targets. Nearly 1,000 Dutch civilians were killed by the bombing. Oops! It is proven fact that Aerial Bombardment does NOT win wars, unless it is Atomic. Aerial Bombardment can destroy cities but does NOT destroy armies. If there is any doubt, then Nazi Germany would have defeated England, after nearly a year of bombing, or the US would have won in Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan. Propaganda has always led us to believe that we, "The Yankees", beat Hitler. But, I have news for you: The US did not win the war against Germany. The Russians won it. The Allied Army of the US, UK, Canada, Belgium and France (and Poland, and other countries), was able to reach Normandy, thanks to the Soviets destroying the Nazis in Stalingrad, Leningrad and in Kurks, in 1943. It took them 289 days but the Russians won and without the help of nobody… OF NOBODY! Normandy was until June 1944, and Mr. “Hollywood” Patton did NOT manage to set foot on Germany until February 1945, when the Red Army was going over Berlin. In Fact, General Patton was able to enter Germany only when the Russians were 150 kilometers from the Oder River (LOL). The Allies were defeated at Arnhem (Market Garden Sep. 25-1944), and at The Battle of the Bulge (Jan. 25-1945). General Patton was paralyzed without fuel, while the Red Army was preparing for its last offensive into Berlin. Look here: The average age of the German Army that fought in Normandy was between 18 and 24 years old. And these soldiers faced each other in a ratio of 27 to 1, without Tanks, without Artillery, no Navy nor Air Force. To make matters worse, knowing that four Parachute Divisions were inland behind their backs. Never the less, It took the Allies 8 months to advance only 500 kilometers from Normandy to Arnhem, and from there, start the Withdrawal back to the border of France/Belgium (What?), facing a virtually defeated German Army cuz USSR. It's a Verifiable Fact that is written in all the History Books, that the German High Command surrendered to the Russian Generals six days BEFORE the first US soldier set foot in Berlin. Well… The US has been defeated in Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Lebanon, Somalia and now, in Afghanistan. However, the powerful US Army defeated the tiny island of Grenada (1983), as it faced a fearsome army of 287 Police Officers, since Grenada does NOT have an army. In fact, they were half this number, since the Policemen on the afternoon shift had not yet come to work. What seems incredible is the fact that the US was defeated by Vietnam. What? Did the US lose the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, underdeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, NO Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, USMC, Rambos or Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, no B-59 Bombers, PT-Boats, Northrop F-5 "Freedom Fighter", nor Atomic Submarines. Without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor Tanks, Choppters, AR-15, Gatlin Machines’, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange. NADA! And to top it off, defeated by an army of teenagers who had no shoes: WITHOUT SHOES!!! Army that fought with bamboo sticks!!! Charlie Kicked Our Asses and even invaded our Embassy. Jeezzz!!! Here is the Duty, Courage and Chanting of Heroism of the US Army. This is the True Story of our Country. This is the History that is already written in the US Books. And the History that was written in Afghanistan is made with the same ink.

Just watched the Combat Footage for the push to the Ruhr River. I can't wait to watch the continuation of newly watched, excellent Combat Footage. Thanks. Watch & Enjoy. Really Great Stuff. I'll bet you have never seen these film. Again, Thanks.
Great Documentary Janson, Illustrates the True Heroism required so that we can live in a Free World. Although a Former, now Retired, British Marine Commando myself i continue to be in Awe of the Heroics of the US Forces in WW2. Without them the Allies would never have overcome the Germans. Incredible Bravery and Motivation and led by some top notch Officers in the main. Of course not to forget the main man Eisenhower, Hats off. Thank you America.
You mean without the Red Army the allies would never have overcome the Germans.
@@michaelwackers6475 Not sure what the Nature of your Comment is? Of course the Russian Forces were Fundamental to Hitler's Downfall. The Fascist Clown had opened a Huge Can of Worms. But were the Russians part of Allied Forces? My Comments were clearly talking about Allied Forces which I thought was obvious, i do apologise if you feel misled. It is just an opinion you know and there is Always someone who loves to be the Negative side. You dont need a History book to know that the Russians Annihilated The German Armed Forces all the way back to Berlin.
What a wonderful thing to say! Thank you Andrew Watkins, from an American whose grandfather fought in that same war. (He was in the Pacific, though). The Americans might well have not been able to do it alone, luckily we had great allies to work with from Britain. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

It was with a huge slice of luck and excellent military skill that the bridge at Remagen was captured almost intact, it definitely helped the allies establish the bridgehead desperately needed to allow the advance, however, the German forces were not going to allow its use without a bitter and ultimately futile attempts were made to bring it down, they used dive bombers and ground attack style attacks, frogmen, waterborne troops and even V1 attacks, maybe even V2s, but, and there is always a but, in an ironic twist, the law of gravity did what everything the Germans had so desperately thrown at it couldn’t do and the Ludendorff bridge collapsed into the river Rhein a few days later, and unfortunately killed some of the combat engineers who were trying to stabilise and reinforce the damaged support structure. A very very sad way for those engineers to die, but without them the bridge would probably have collapsed earlier and delayed the allied advance until a temporary bridge had been constructed, they might not have died from enemy action but they still died in combat trying to help shorten the war, every bit hero as any other personnel who died from enemy actions. RIP Lest We Forget. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇦👍😀
P.S It was interesting to see the faces of the boots 🥾 on the ground as they were waiting to advance to contact, most of them were very young by appearance, and maybe it was their first experience of combat, I would imagine that they had so many thoughts running amok in their minds but the expression on most of their faces was almost serene, but one can only imagine the fear and determination that they experienced at that moment in time. There is no doubt in my mind that IF the German drive on Bastogne had been successful and the operation as a whole had succeeded it would NOT have caused the allied forces to become disjointed or demoralised, it would have been one thing for the Germans to succeed, but a totally different kettle of fish to hold the ground that they desired to hold, the United States on the Germans southern flank and the remaining forces of the alliance on the northerly flank would have attacked in a coordinated attack and squeezed the Germans like a tube of toothpaste until they were forced to retreat or destroyed, the whole plan was just another fantasy dreamed up by Hitlers drug addled and dementia riddled mind.
I remember the movement to action Storm in order to liberate the occupied third of Croatia. I fought from the first day and waited 4 years for this moment. At 5 in the morning, a multi-barrel rocket launcher fired the entire set at the barracks in Knin, the capital of the rebels. We were in Knin at 5 o'clock in the morning after 2 days. What joy it was. Our Croatian royal city was liberated and the Croatian flag on the Knin Fortress. Preparations for that lasted more than a year. It wasn't just a "rush" so whatever. The action of the Croatian Army is studied and taught at West Point today.
Beyond excellent! Much thanks! (Subscribed)
How miserable a man feels when he is completely soaked and tired, but when he reaches his bunker he lies down in his sleeping bag wet and when he wakes up he is dry. Where did the water go? Composition for about 20 years.
WAR IS HELL!!
AND THE SCARIEST PART OFF IT WAS..
WAR ALSO MEANS "BIG BOOMING BUSINESS"
They didn't know at the time that the vehicle they shot up at 8:04 contained civilians, and the driver was killed and a young woman gravely wounded. There is subsequent video of troops removing her from the car and laying her down beside it. I don't know what happened to her after that.
she died shortly thereafter.
@@David-hk3ly I have read some accounts that she was accidentally run over sometime after being laid beside the car, but didn't know if it was true.
Unfortunate casualties of war. Why did they wait so long to try to escape? Makes no sense...
What did he say? Normandy Was "The Biggest Operation of WWII? Not! It was Operation "BAGRATION". Look here: From Dunkirk, at the beginning of World War II, to Normandy, almost at the end, the Allied Armies did not put a single soldier in Germany. No a single one.

The Allies were defeated at Arnhem (Market Garden Sep. 25-1944), and at The Battle of the Bulge (Jan. 25-1945). "Operation Varsity" took place near the end of the War (March 1945), and only 85,000 German soldiers fought against almost 700,000 Allied Forces who could NOT cross the Rhine River due to the heroic resistance of an "Army" of 18-year-olds and 50-year-old Reserve Infantry. So, here General Patton was paralyzed without fuel, while the Red Army was preparing for its last offensive into Berlin. Look here: The average age of the German Army that fought in Normandy was between 18 and 24 years old. And these soldiers faced each other in a ratio of 37 to 1, without Tanks, without Artillery, no Navy nor Air Force.

I think you’ll find that the allies were supplying materials to Russia .
Sr. Jeremy, encontrará que los suministros que recibió la URSS no eran gratuitos. Esos suministros fueron VENDIDOS. La URSS les pagó en lingotes de oro, que fueron llevados a la ciudad de Teherán, en Irán.
These are all combat cameramen doing these movies. U.S Army Signal Corps did all of these.
Great documentary’s keep up great work of history !👏👍👍👍👍
In the video introduction it's said that the program doesn't rely on contemporary revisionism, which is as it should be. Forget Dresden and other post-war controversies, this documentary makes the point it was a difficult, costly, hard slog to defeat Hitler's Germany right up until the very end. To hell with post-war revisionism.

No one will forget War because it happens everyday it’s our Nature
Not sure why everyone refers to kicking Hitler out of Europe as a "liberation" when after it was all over the allies handed all of Eastern Europe over to Stalin.
And the only reason the war started was because the UK and France promised to aid Poland should Germany invade.
@@sean.furlong1989 that's true. Britain and France wanted war with Hitler then did nothing when the Soviets invaded Poland from the East. Then handed all of Eastern Europe over to Stalin at the end of the war. Stalin was every bit as bad as Hitler.
At about 39:38 you will see Black infantry attacking Germans in a town. You rarely see Black troops in a frontline combat role, normally they are doing back area duties in movies.
Because they "couldn't be trusted" in high pressure high intensity jobs. They're jobs were mainly relegated to driving trucks, mechanic work, mess, tending to wounded, etc. Was a weird time
this NOT a movie where hollywood had their own delusions as to what really happened on the ground/air.
If you’re talking don’t play back ground music, y’all have it so high in the Mix. It’s actually front ground and I’ll just move along.

Единственная причина по которой союзники высадились в Нормандии в самом конце войны, когда поражение Германии было уже очевидным, это успеть занять часть Европы пока ее не освободил СССР. К тому времени СССР ценой жизни 27 миллионов человек уничтожил самые боеспособные части вермахта. В сентябре 1945г. СССР объявило войну Японии. На тот момент в Китае насчитывалась до 1млн. японских солдат. Через месяц боев, потерпев ряд поражений Япония капитулировала
Good that they did! Otherwise we d live in a Sowjet state. You surely tried to imply this :)

Also check out all the shell casings on the ground. 36:56 this soldier also has his head covered up. The right front part of his Helmet is gone. Notice how much he bled out into the gutter.

What happened to the drive on Berlin - they never got there. The Soviets took it.
That was the agreement between Roosevelt, Churchill,and Stalin.Ike told the Allies to stop at the Elbe river as per agreement but later admitted that might have been a mistake.
The united nations, as Roosevelt called the Allies, decided that well in advance. Eisenhower knew that, and he also realized that it would be more trouble than anything to drive the forces into Berlin, when the Russians would be taking the city anyway. Because of the agreement, the U.S., Britain, Russia and France would have preordained sections of Berlin when the war ended. That also saved a lot of American lives.

The Nazi Blitz is totally overrated compared to the Allied Blitzkrieg. When the Nazis attacked, most Townspeople didn't have all the Weaponry needed to fight back. The Nazis did and lost all day long. Most Allied Troops didn't have all that fancy Training either. They just kicked Ass and had Street Smarts. Nazis had no chance.
Wasn’t dough boy refer to WW1 Americans my grandfather never mentioned doughboy and he was in the Hurtgen forest I think I spelled it right. Anyway good video just a little of on terminology.
In the postwar hell with German civilians being raped killed and expelled from their ancestral lands, 1.2 million died.
What did you expect? The allies greeting Germany with fruitbaskets and baked goods?
That's what happens when Germany starts a world war.
My question is is why do the men who were there reading a script why they are being interviewed? Wouldn't they know what they did . Just asking cause I don't understand why?.
German forces were heavily outnumbered and unequipped. . Small sacrifices of USA army does not make them heroes. Propaganda video it is. But at same time, Germans deserved that punishment .That fact is out of question.
Who is the video working on, emotionally, to change or inflame what they already feel? What is the specific purpose of this so-called propaganda, what ends are the propagandists trying to achieve?
Retelling war stories, and maybe even gloating a bit, isn't propaganda.
My grandfather was an ss soldier that fought in Berlin until the last days of the war and he never surrendered and was never captured, he escaped through Italy down to Argentina and had my dad in 1960. I got some cool pieces of ww2 history when he passed away that nobody knew he still had including his iron cross second class…. Heil pop pop!
Why is it called "The Push to Berlin" if it focuses on the Western Allies? Shouldn't it be "the Push to the Elbe"?
The Western Allies never got to Berlin

I heard Germany has surrender, what should I do..?
What's I say..?
I recall at school here in Australia punishment of pupils used to be made to put our hands on our heads. We also had to march at assembly every Monday and sing God Save the Queen. When I look at those prisoners I am reminded of that and how evil the Germans were still viewed then and what a military and horribly racist society we lived in still then. Anyone not British was viewed and a Wog, Greaser or Kraut.

Germany was never a threat to American freedom.

But it was a good business for america, but ordenary people won’t go to war for fat business mens profit so they came to “liberate, before the gernans attack them too”

US American War Propaganda at its best !!!
Yup... 100% correct. From Dunkirk, at the beginning of World War II, to Normandy, almost at the end, the Allied Armies did not put a single soldier in Germany. Not one. The participation of the Allied Forces in Europe was limited to Aerial Bombing. These actions received a lot of publicity to make us believe that the Aerial Bombings were winning the war. But, there is a very long list of Bombing cities by “Mistake”. The bombing of Nijmegen in the Netherlands (February 1944), it occurred when US bombers returning from a failed mission, as occurred in most cases, were looking for "Optional" targets. Nearly 1,000 Dutch civilians were killed by the bombing. Oops! It is proven fact that Aerial Bombardment does NOT win wars, unless it is Atomic. Aerial Bombardment can destroy cities but does NOT destroy armies. If there is any doubt, then Nazi Germany would have defeated England, after nearly a year of bombing, or the US would have won in Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan. Propaganda has always led us to believe that we, "The Yankees", beat Hitler. But, I have news for you: The US did not win the war against Germany. The Russians won it. The Allied Army of the US, UK, Canada, Belgium and France (and Poland, and other countries), was able to reach Normandy, thanks to the Soviets destroying the Nazis in Stalingrad, Leningrad and in Kurks, in 1943. It took them 289 days but the Russians won and without the help of nobody… OF NOBODY! Normandy was until June 1944, and Mr. “Hollywood” Patton did NOT manage to set foot on Germany until February 1945, when the Red Army was going over Berlin. In Fact, General Patton was able to enter Germany only when the Russians were 150 kilometers from the Oder River (LOL). The Allies were defeated at Arnhem (Market Garden Sep. 25-1944), and at The Battle of the Bulge (Jan. 25-1945). General Patton was paralyzed without fuel, while the Red Army was preparing for its last offensive into Berlin. Look here: The average age of the German Army that fought in Normandy was between 18 and 24 years old. And these soldiers faced each other in a ratio of 27 to 1, without Tanks, without Artillery, no Navy nor Air Force. To make matters worse, knowing that four Parachute Divisions were inland behind their backs. Never the less, It took the Allies 8 months to advance only 500 kilometers from Normandy to Arnhem, and from there, start the Withdrawal back to the border of France/Belgium (What?), facing a virtually defeated German Army cuz USSR. It's a Verifiable Fact that is written in all the History Books, that the German High Command surrendered to the Russian Generals six days BEFORE the first US soldier set foot in Berlin. Well… The US has been defeated in Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Lebanon, Somalia and now, in Afghanistan. However, the powerful US Army defeated the tiny island of Grenada (1983), as it faced a fearsome army of 287 Police Officers, since Grenada does NOT have an army. In fact, they were half this number, since the Policemen on the afternoon shift had not yet come to work. What seems incredible is the fact that the US was defeated by Vietnam. What? Did the US lose the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, underdeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, NO Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, USMC, Rambos or Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, no B-59 Bombers, PT-Boats, Northrop F-5 "Freedom Fighter", nor Atomic Submarines. Without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor Tanks, Choppters, AR-15, Gatlin Machines’, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange. NADA! And to top it off, defeated by an army of teenagers who had no shoes: WITHOUT SHOES!!! Army that fought with bamboo sticks!!! Charlie Kicked Our Asses and even invaded our Embassy. Jeezzz!!! Here is the Duty, Courage and Chanting of Heroism of the US Army. This is the True Story of our Country. This is the History that is already written in the US Books. And the History that was written in Afghanistan is made with the same ink.
