One of the most beautiful days in our history! Thank you Great Britain and United States! And the Piron Brigade of course!
You're from Belgium. What did you think of King Leopold iii and his role in the war?
@@joecole7122
Some years ago protestor against the racism asked to remove his statues from public places.
The belgian government agreed and put them in a museum where is labelled as a genocidal.
@@joecole7122I have a Belgian friend who called him,”a disgrace to all Belgians.”
@@emib6599that is exactly where they belong.
@@emib6599 That's the wrong Leopold...
my fathers father fled on foot to spain from belgium took a boat to uk joined the belgian army part of the uk army fought on dday in a later wave he helped liberate belgium and left the army. god save his soul.
My grandfather was in the British troops that liberated Belgium and the Netherlands. Our greatest generation.
I know in Holland and I believe in Belgium there are long lists of people waiting their turn, who have volunteered, to take care of the grave of a fallen allied soldier buried in their town. People will take care of a soldiers grave their entire life. Such an incredibly kind thing to do.
My Dad served with the Coldstream Guards Guards Armoured, he was in Brussels and for a short time was billited with a Belgien family, he would talk of them and their kindness many a time, then four months later Dad found himself at Cristmas down in the Ardenne freezing.
The Belgians - bless ‘em [ and I say as a proud Englishman most sincerely ] are a fine people and have a really right beautiful national anthem both in music and in words, listen and read those two items...for the music, you can hear the tones as from 3:27 in the background....I salute them, all of them , Que vivent les Belges!
i salut your country for the heroic actions to save me and my familly and country friends love from belgium
I wish to move to Belgium when I get older
@@aidanlutz8106 i live in belgium and lemme tell you that my country sucks
@@vdreeh8601 I’d mostly live there because I want to work for International Relations in Brussels. And besides, I’d rather live there than America.
@@aidanlutz8106 yeah but you wont earn that much our tax is 25% you will make like 1800€ a month so about 2000$ a month
My dad was a paratrooper during WWII. His platoon worked their way from southern France and helped liberate Paris! This video of Belgium and Brussels being liberated reminded me of my Dad. I guess the French were so overjoyed! Thank you for the video upload!
Today the British take are country back leave e u British pride moves forward other nations don't have the guts to vote leave and they moan
@Abdrasid Khalid You sound like a Nazi. Ironic.
Your father's generation were made of great stuff.
That was the last great Holy War.
@@SugarRainer France would never have "Third Worlders" in the first place if they didn't extract a hefty colonial tax from their former colonies to this day. That is the root cause of the demise of those nations because it stunts their growth and the result is people fleeing those lands in search of better opportunities. Even the Italians called out rhe French on that which caused a row between those two countries. Google it up.
@Jerry Pecks France is extremely divided today, and along ethnic lines. The Yellow Vests, largely unreported by the outside world should go some way to showing you how the globalist media behaves, what their agenda is, and also, just how divided and fractured France is. Also, the majority of babies born today in Paris are already non-white French. Much of Paris today looks like north Africa or some place in the middle east. Maybe you see that as a strength, maybe you think it is diversity, and a good thing.
What a relief! What a joy it must have been to be liberated!
Lots of people thought Germany was a few weeks from surrender by late summer 1944. The allies had recaptured France, Brussels, had pushed into Holland, the Russians were racing west. Somehow though the German army regrouped. Operation Market Garden didn't really work, the allied supply lines became stretched, the US forces advanced through woodland where they couldn't deploy their bombers or artillery. That winter as well was one of the coldest in memory.
J' avais 6 ans en 44, et j' vu les volutes de fumee, qui s' echapait du dome du palais de justice, depuis le bas de la rue Guillaume Lekeu a Anderlecht ! C' etait la liberation !
Thanks to Britain & Canada even for the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands.
It's a shame you treated us so badly over Brexit, when we gained our liberty. Then you allowed the Germans back in .
It makes me cry with joy watching this!
With love from Britain.
Vive la Belquie.
The Belgian Brigade Piron got an heroes welcome. You see colonel Piron at the hotel de ville with the bourgmestre.
Fantastic to see little Belgium liberated.
they still have the congo that time lol
@@coetrupe And the brits had their whole Empire. Your point being?
@@xgentis
Not "little Belgium", then?
Why is there so little footage of this episode in our history. What a great country we are this is tearfully moving footage.
unfortunately its "were". That aspect is terribly sad to many
An amazing day. So much emotion and joy.
and to think that most of those soldiers and people in the crowds are now no longer with us.
Almost none. A 20 year old in 1944 would be 98 in 2022.
Well…yes…
The question for us is whether the darkness will fall again and humanity must again suffer to regain freedom from tyranny.
Socialist Democrats will ruin America. It will be a rough 4 years.
Look at the whole of the west now , the difference from these pictures is easy to discern and easy to predict.
Good job Brussels saving the Books 📚 saving History
My favourite bit is at 0:42 when the angry woman goes to hit the German prisoner and the guard just puts his hand up:-
'Now now madam, no need for that sort of thing.'
Commentaire un peu cru d'un défunt collègue ayant vécu la Libération de Bruxelles : "C'était de la folie, on baisait dans les rues, en public !".
Loved learning about this in the documentary the world at war episode 19 pincers
Good stuff!
Interesting to see !
Interessante mesmo...o povo depositou todas as confiança nos aliados principalmente os EUA....a liberdade sempre tem o seu preço!
Celebrate the love!
Joyous!
Awsome channel, i live in the wrong time
Why would you EVER want to live back then??
KING POTUS
You needn’t interpret Robert Laube’s comment literally to understand the sentiment. After nearly four years of living in the surreal political climate here in the US and seven months of being aware of the Global Pandemic, it sure would be a nice catharsis to have a moment in time when those two threats have been eradicated.
@@paulinbrooklyn amen, well said, thank you.
I love it!!
May we all be so happy again. Up democracy in the USA!
5th Coldsyream guards....my dads brother was there ..died 11th April crossing River Hase in Germany ...at end of war
Dej susulku konce tá má skúsenosti!
The Belgium poeple fared better than their neighbours the starving Dutch.
What a video .
glororious to watch and made me very proud yet sad as this was probably Britain's peak of power & respect. Tear in my eye how low we have become all thanks to our own Government & ex- Prime Minister Cameron
Человечество без мудрых лидеров это ужас! Неужели по такому фильму 1944 это непонятно? Ненавидите Россию, надо сдерживаться, чтобы такая война не вернулась снова!
The Nazis were so heartless.....so disgusting.
Todavía faltaba mucho, toda la costa hacia el mar, más allá de Amberes en manos de los nazis. Pero hermoso momento para los belgas sacarse de encima a los invasores.
In 1944 my grandpa in africa they call them " white savior "
A short respite in a war that will only be over once the earth has found it's equilibrium. Whether it be heaven or hell.
Interesting to see now, but bloody terrifying at the time for the soldiers. I know as my father was there. 21st Army Group, 11th Armoured Division 13th Royal Horse Artillery. L/Bdr. It was not all fun and games. He spent 4 years of his life doing that stuff and survived ( hence me). I am pleased that I did not have to do that. Still, The Germans are the major power in Europe and provide the cash for the other wastrels to carry on their communist policies. ( France/Italy in particular) I am glad us UK people are out and I hope my grandsons never have to fight that lot again.
To the octogenarians and nonagerians on TH-cam: does anyone remember witnessing these events ?
Those people were the people that created the EU (the embryo started in 1951) after witnessing the last big genocidal imperialist war, with the idea that never again a person in Europe has to live towards this again only because he borne in to a border instead of another.
The peoples that write neo fascist propaganda should be ashamed for spitting on those memories and those deaths.
.
Please if you find people that spit on this memories put a thumb down 👎you'll make their propaganda comments falling down in to oblivion of the chat.
How easily they have forgotten us there freedom fighters
WTF are you talking about?
Short memories I'm afraid.
How could todays forget so quickly,inevitable time the destroyer,those of that day sadly gone,replaced with a moral less society.I weep watching this.
The same Belgians had welcomed Leon Degrelle and the Wallonie Legion a few months earlier ...?
Point taken, but the French also managed to expand their Paris underground Metropolitain subway system at the height of the German occupation in 1942.
No not the same Belgians, it was a very small minority that welcomed him. At the liberation, you may be certain that those persons were not there (they were hiding for the wrath of the real Belgians).
That night , they had Guylian chocolate for Dinner, while watching brussels burning
Why aren't these Germans sleeping
De nos jours, à Molenbeek et Anderlecht (2 communes de Bruxelles), ils arriveraient à jeter des pierres sur ces héros
Their gratitude didn’t last long, they now prefer the EU to the UK. Such is life!
It was the Uk that left the Eu.Get your facts right.
@@johnfitzpatrick4007 Yes, and the fuckers tried to shaft us a few weeks ago with Clause 16 and made themselves look like "bell ends" to the rest of Europe.
@@gray3553 They have been shafting us for 300 years,yet there is still people who believe we benefit from a corrupt government we haven’t voted for in 60 years.
Grateful sure but not suicidal.
Foi triste demais a humilhante derrota dos Alemães durante a 1 guerra mundial e 2 guerra!
Yet....Thats all forgotten today by the EU
" Gravy Train ". Who then, puts a German in charge...!
The proud English in American trucks and jeeps and tanks.
Fjimmel....Idiot!
Er...Allied Vehicles....
Backed up by P51 Ds...
American Airframe...
With British pattern engines...
Its the BRITISH army. And the most effective American tanks had British guns. It was an Allied effort including a major Canadian effort as well. At the end of the day it is the MEN that count
And the proud Americans with their British naval radar, ASW equipment and nuclear research are probably off screen somewhere too
Besides the obvious Shermans and Jeeps most of the vehicles were British (or Canadian).
They should have come earlier and liberate belgian Congo too from the hands of the sadistic belgians
Perhaps EU should watch a few of these videos…
Es lebe das heilige Deutschland.
Now they are under Soviet European Union. 😂🤷
Yes but we have chosen to be under the control of Soviet european union. That’s the difference
Thanks to the USSR!
Ok commie
With billions of dollars in aid and countless Lend-Lease tanks, aircraft, equipment, jeeps, trucks, fuel, coal, food, communications wire, food, gasoline, and much, much more. A lot of good men died getting the goods to Russia...something the Russians still don't admit. Stuff Russia. The legacy of Stalin lives on...ask the people of Ukraine.
@@64MDW are you done crying?
Thanks to the big 3!
The Germans wouldn't have been there in the first place had in not been for the German/Russian alliance. The Russia would have folded had they not received allied support.
