Top Comments of this video!! :3
No words to what I’ve just watched, possibly the best documentary of all time, IMO. This would of been even more impactful if the carnage wasn’t blurred out, but respect the respect shown to these poor men, who are rich in heaven 🙏🏼.
RIP to all those brave men who lost their lives and thank you to all of ones who came home, my Grandad included 🙏🏼❤️.

This is the best documentary I have ever seen on 2nd world war. It's not possible for me to forget such a beautiful piece of work, which I ended up watching with tears in my eyes. Really feeling sorry for those unknown faces, lost their young lives in a foreign beach with inhospitable conditions. My salute for those brothers again.

My family has a long lineage of military men, my father was a vietnam vet, I an Iraq/afganistan vet, and My grandfather the (greatest of us all) a WWII vet. My grandfather landed at Omaha beach and didn't leave Europe until the end of the war... it boggles my mind to think how these men did all that and still came back to the world to lead successful lives.... The Greatest Generation!

My uncle was in the Normandy Landings and lived to tell the tale but I never realised how horrific it was to actually live through until this documentary. My uncle was also in Caen and Pegasus Bridge along with many other theatres of war including Remagen (Operation Market Garden I believe). At some point he 'celebrated' his 21st birthday during active service in WW2 - they were all so young and everyone a hero - thank you!

Both of my grandfathers fought the Germans in WWII. I know that they took part in the fighting in France, though one of them told me he arrived after the storming of Omaha was over. He said he was glad he missed that one. Nonetheless he saw his fair share of horrors over there and fought in the battles depicted involving Patton's army. He helped liberate a concentration camp as well. After the war was over he came back and worked two jobs to support a family. My other grandfather had succumb to ptsd and alcoholism and spent the rest of his life homeless shortly after having children. I never got to hear his story. I am very grateful to both them for the sacrifices they made. They don't call them the greatest generation for nothing.

I watched this with tears in my eyes. Many young people today are shouting for strange freedoms that they already have. The same age as many of those in this documentary, who sacrificed so much. I served, but could never match what these people did.
Although my children place place high value and express deep gratitude for what these people did, I'll make sure that they see this film, as should all parents and school teachers. That way they may have a greater understanding and appreciation for what we all have today.

I dont know why I was led to watch this. I have seen many documentaries on D-Day. But this one is absolutely the most accurate and best narrative I have ever seen. Im 74 now. But when I ran across it and started to watch it. I couldn't stop. Even as I make this comment, my eyes fill with tears 😢. My dad was in the US Army 29th division that landed on Omaha Beach that day, and I SAW HIM. At 1:01:54, he is the soldier sitting next to the cliff with others looking directly at the camera. My God!! He was probably 20-21. I know it is him because I have a couple of pictures of him just before joining the service. And one pic of him after they made it into Normady. He was one of the few lucky ones that made the landing, and God had a plan for. (ME!) My dad never talked very much about that day or the war. All he would say to me is, "Son, no man should ever have to endure and see what we had to face and saw. It was pure hell!" I know he had a Silver Star and several ribbons my sister has, and he was a Sargent Major when he was discharged. I have his strips. So I never pushed him to talk about it. I lost my dad in 1979 from a massive heart attack. I had the opportunity 5 years ago to go to Normady and visit Omaha Beach and the Normady Memorial American Cemetery. That day was a beautiful, quiet day, and I stood in the cemetery, I just lost it! Not only because God kept my dad safe but all the men who sacrificed their lives on that bloody day. Maybe it was just me, but it was one of the most chilling and saddest days of my life! Now I know why I was led to watch this documentary. I'm going to call my sister and tell her to watch it! Dad, I'll always love you for your service and giving us life ❤😢
