I've seen plenty of WW2 documentaries but this is, by far, the best one I've seen as it shows the real battle of Normandy and the humanity lost - on both sides. This should be required viewing in history courses. Outstanding.
The American hating, fascist, Democrats of America would never allow this to be shown in a public school.
The American hating fascist democrats would not allow this to be shown in history classes.
there’s a few more on this series im the same i’ve seen millions of ww2 docs but this series has loads of rare gut wrenching footage ❤
The Stupidity of war.
It's biblical ,wars is biblical since the first sin committed by Adam and Eve.
Excellent documentary 👍 _!!_
That's why we study history
Among the myriad of DDay docs, this is one of the better ones.
I am still surprised by new footage that comes along about this era. Great video and very much worth watching by anybody interested in this time period. Thank you for posting. A great service by doing so..
Ive seen almost all ww2 docus. This one was great. And gave new info i havnt seen before. Excellently made. Thank you // sweden
This is one of the better documentaries that I have seen about D-Day and Normandy battle. The destruction and carnage was unbelievable. Thank goodness we had Patton and Bradley for the allies. If Montgomery was the top commander, it would of been a different outcome. He was one of the most over rated generals of WW2.
That's one lucky Cat at 46:33 into video.
This documentary is beyond BRILLIANT ---Bravo
One of the better videos
awesome documentary
We shall never learn.
We ?? These banker war mongers are not "we".

Not so. Just a trite saying.... It's been more then three quarters of a century since the last great war. What an attitude!!!!!
There's some great footage here.
excellent
Normandy got shot to pieces. Villages flattened, Caen and St Lo flattened by the heavies. Cherbourg harbour destroyed. Emphasised in the film. Most of the rest of France escaped a similar fate.
No mention of Operation Goodwood...
Or any planned easter festivities for the year ahead, interesting fashion trends, unusual cloud formations, it’s shocking how little one can cover in a 50 minute documentary about 85 days in The Battle of Normandy. Perhaps you could fund a sequel…
Normandy and all the battles on the Western Front combined were and still are child's game play when compared to Stalingrad.
Why does the narrator refer to the British as the Engiish?
It really does seem like we as humans never learn from past histories.
Grow up
So true. We have wars going on at this moment. Very disappointing
Things like grammar.
These banker war mongers are not "we"
Killing for various reasons is part of our DNA. Religion, vengeance, control, resources, greed....
What happened to all the dead Germans at the Chambois battle? 200K lost,did they put them in mass graves? Are these places marked today?
Hundred thousands of ships?
It said ships, planes and trucks.
Well duh if the proxys dont stop he will use tactical nukes
Such senceless brutality!😢
There's a prevalent urban myth that les Francais don't much care for the yanks, and maybe it has to do with the Americans bombing France before D-day. Maybe it was necessary for strategic reasons, but les Francais couldn't have known that. Also les Francais surrendered quickly to the Germans at the beginning of the war in order to not have to fight the Germans in Paris.
French welcomed Germans same way
8 minutes in and you’ve made serious mistake. Montgomery was In command of ALL land forces, British, Canadian and American. He held that command until September 1st when Eisenhower took over as Commander land Forces as well as Supreme Commander-Allied Expeditionary Forces. I know the Battle for Normandy is a huge complex story but this is pretty basic stuff.
The narrator doesn't start off well by claiming the Normandy landings were a turning point. They weren't. The tables had already turned earlier in the war. Some claim after Stalingrad, others after Kursk and even some say that the momentum was gone as early as late 1941/early 1942, after Barbarossa had failed to decisively defeat the Soviets. Normandy was important, no doubt about that, but it wasn't a turning point.
You're talking about the Eastern front mate !
@@adambane1719 Germany's fate was decided on the eastern front mate
@@gruntforever7437 Who are you? This documentary is on an entirely different front. What is the matter with your basic knowledge acquisition skills?
Don’t forget the invasion of Italy (the soft underbelly of Europe). Once Italy capitulated and the Germans had to bring in more manpower to staunch the allied advance, liberation had already began.
Very true, we learnt a Cold War history.
You mean dictators don't
French in their peculiar helmets
Well, the Americans did not face Tigers at first place... They were all in the british sector... But, of course, Americans ONLY fought Tigers and Eightyeights...
Americans shouldn't have been there 😕
@@loneranger5349 those pesky Germans declaring war on the US was not fair
Your summary is typical of those that do not know what they are talking about. clickbait
The documentary keeps mentioning allied casualties. For context, it’s important to remember that the Germans suffered 100% killed, wounded, captured or surrendered from about 1943 until the war ended. And largely due to their drug addled leader’s psychotic delusions, died needlessly, in far greater numbers, because of their stubborn refusal to accept the inevitable.
BS! Wittmann found that British column by chance!
if ever there was a more commemorated over glorified yet undeserving 'general' then it was Montgomery. The man was a total fool.
so the person that planned the strategy and had command over ALL of the land forces was a total fool? Your logic is utterly baffling.
So the most successful commander in the M/ETO is "undeserving" ? Maybe you should learn about history before you comment about it
Montgomery won The Battle of Normandy ahead of schedule with 22% fewer casualties than predicted. Montgomery’s successes are the stuff of legend. He was easily the most successful Western Allied ground commander of WW2 by some way. He too more ground through more countries while facing more quality German opposition than any other Western Allied ground commander. This is not opinion. This is historical fact. Montgomery was the most decisive ground commander the Western Allies had in WW2. You’re embarrassing yourself.
the only fool is you Craig..Monty was the most successful general in the MTO and ETO, or do you think you can name a better one. if so who and why?
