my grnadfather fought on this beach as an american soldier and all his brothers were killed about five feet away from him and when he took me here he fell to his knees and began to cry. Long live the veterans of world war 2
Those who took the pictures. They have the balls of adamantium that not even Wolverine's Blade could destroy. No man would be able to take pictures this clear, while under heavy fire. Salute to them and all the soldiers. Nobody deserves to be treated any worse.

They starved to death growing up in the American Depression, then once they were old enough to get away with lieing about their age...they joined up. They lived, they slugged it out and they died. God bless them for what they did. Truly, they never got a break and now we whine and complain about the smallest inconvenience...sometimes for their memory..we should just shut up and say ..."thanks brothers!!!"...God Bless....Gianni
" Let us not forget these, Brave few soul's. Whom without their selfish sacrifice and courage, do we owe our very existence. Never. In the whole of human sacrifice and warfare, have so many, perished on one battlefield. Been owed such a debt of gratitude. That we, even now must lower our head's and pray to God. That they did not Die in vain and that the Memory of their eternal sacrifice will live on in the heart's and mind's of every Man, Woman and Child, born here after. "
But every country who' has been involved in the ww2 . Did horrible things . And both sides soldiers wer just following orders. Rest in peace for the ones on the beaches and the defenders.
my grandpa was a flame thrower in the war on D-Day he told me he said to his freind think your already dead and thats how he lived threw the war he says but he said his buddy never mad it the grenade that hit them both only hit his neck and killed his freind
i have family living in the us 3 of them are veterans one day i said to one of them lets go to normandy he agreed we stopped and walked to the beach he walked to the beach and he started crying and fel on the ground he grabbed the sand and looked at it i said to him 'what is it? he answered.'i landed here. he took out his cross and buried it he said to me then. 'pray with me for the brave young men who died for freedom and liberty we called the names of the US soldiers how didny make it RIP
Anyone who thinks school, life, or work is hard, they dont know anything of the meaning of hard. These brave, courageous young men awoke at 5am to travel many miles just to wade in knee high deep water, faced by dozens of pillboxes, fierce MG 42 fire, artillary raining down hell, high cliffs invested with German marksmen, fortified bunkers, and pure death, destruction, and demise. Just remember when you think you did something hard, you didnt walk into Nazi Machine gun fire at 6:00am.
My friends grand parents were both German. The grand father was forced to side with the americans while the grand mother was forced to fight for the Reich. On day in the battle for the Reichstag the found each other in the Reichstag and went on to kill eachother
my grandfather who had served ww2 rest his sould had always told me he hated them german bastards however he also said " war is a terrible thing" now I can realted to that
@Wookieproductions22 you are stupid greatings from germany usa and america are good freands allsoklappe zu sonst giebt aufen koffa du lackirter lack affe
@Wookieproductions22 ich bin sicher nicht grün die grünen sind vollpfosten ich bin patriotisch was unser land angeht aber es gibt halt sachen die sollte man nicht sagen oder anderst umschreiben weiste was ich mein?
My grandparent was on the axis side, he was captured by the Russians and put into a labor camp. He never did anything wrong he was just a soldier made to fight he had family and he was human just like everyone else. That's why I hate war, it makes you think the enemy isn't human and doesn't deserve to live.
@SlickyDave Same here my Grandfather was also on the axis side and was in Russia to. But that was Hitlers mistake causing a two front war if he didn't attack Russia our grandparents would have to invade Briton and this is what most people don't know but yeah I also hate war too because of that and even today people still hate Germans not as much and its because of Hitler.
@SlickyDave I agree 100%. Sometimes when I see a German soldier die in a WWII movie I don't think HA BAD GUY DOWN. I think about if that guy was conscripted or not.
@SlickyDave I'm sorry but some of the nazi's were just barely human and they did not deserve to live. Like Mengele...people like that need to die. I mean absolutely no disrespect to your grandparents though, but I would just like to make it clear that some Nazi's did not deserve to live.
@SlickyDave i disagree.... although i can't say for sure because i've never fought in a war. yes, some people act as if the enemy are animals, but there are a number of soldiers who respect their enemy. with war, it's kill or be killed. there's no time to empathize for the soldiers you're shooting at. but that doesn't mean that people enjoy killing other people. i think many veterans from WW2 (or any war) are filled with guilt for the people they killed. you're right though, war is awful.
@SlickyDave Oh, you're poor Grandfather - SS or Wehrmacht, he took an oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler, not Germany. He wasn't fighting for the Fatherland he was fighting for a maniac who wanted to rule the world and kill anyone he didn't like. Your Grandfather fought for those ideas - like it or not it's the real history. This bullshit history German apologists like you have spouted since the war ended is crap. Fuck your German pig of a Grandfather, I hope he's rotting in hell right now.
@F50a84 Rapper is talking shit about u must watch Thats your upload ad your 84 ? hey go fuck yoruself You need a life and stay the fuck off other peoples

I went to Normandy and visited Omaha beach as a part of my officer training back at the RMAS. I felt really strong presence of the war though it was over may years ago, but I honestly could Imagine the scenes that took place there. I also went to the Normandy grave yard and read the names on the graves there, Americans, British, French, Christians, Jews, and believe it or not even Muslims. Just being there id an honor for me.
i had 2 family members in omaha. both lived. but they never talked about it. 3 years before one died he said" remmember that movie saving private ryan, i was in the beach in the beginning, i will never forget that day." Bod bless him and his fellow men in that beach that day. and to all US military troops.
@F50a84 Based on your viewing history you have the maturity of a 16 year old boy not an atleast 85-90 year old man. You did not serve there and if you did what was your rank, serial number, and division?
Oh my god. People knock it off with this honor and sacrafice crap. None of you know what sacrifice is, or honor. Just shut up with all this 'RIP' crap. You don't know what real war is like so don't say you appreciate something you know nothing about. God you people are so fucking stupid. The people who died okay yes its sad , but stop trying to relate to them by saying things like 'my grandpa or dad was there''. Were you there? No. Now im not saying don't respect them but atleast know first.
@annabatarowicz- What makes you think SS didn't have family like any other soldier. Lots of decendants of SS and other german military all over the world.

just think of the age of the boys of men who gave their lifes for freedom. (which most us take for granted now)the were usally around the ages of 17-20.nor did they now what hell they were about to land on and yet they fought through it for us.just think about that.
In the USSR at that time, the battle went many times greater than on how many people, technology and inflame the fighting. And people perished many times more.
Both of my grandfathers and my uncle were at D- day. My uncle was in the 101 first airbourn, the other two were at omaha and utah. My grandfather saw the movie saving private ryan and he said it was exactly the same, and the water was red from blood.
My great grandfather was at omaha beach after he got back he told us stories about how a small bible in a pocket on his chest saved him about 3 bullets hit the bible and not him. He died in 09.
@21Blitz So what if he did? I wouldn't know I wasn't there. Even if he did he and everyone else there deserved to be honored. It must have been hell for those men watching some of there brothers and best friends getting blown up right in thier face. I don't see you fighting at omaha. I doubt you have even the slightest clue what they went through.
@noobsfearme yea war is hell that's why we like it so much.Whats with the"I don't see you fighting at omaha" comment. Well duh! you dickhead. I still think WW1 was still a blood bath. I rememeber reading storys about soilders forced to drink water in the trenches, with your best friends, dead next to you with there guts hanging out. And to wonder why people weren't the same comming back, if they came back....
@rapefaceFTW It was a thick pocket bible made with black leather I have it in my attic somewhere maybe when I find it ill post some of my own pictures. Why can't you just show some respect for someone who fought in WW2? I didn't expect to get so much hate for trying to honor our troops.... jeez
I want picture of the bible, what was the company which he was on?? I pay respect to the "boys"...but i cant stand "gimme a finger up from this comment" guys, .... not saying you are but some details would be nice...starting company of yer grandpa and picture of the bible...??? May he and other rest in peace, knowing, they are not forgotten!!!!
@mynthon11 Ill find it in my grandmothers attic next time I go to visit her. Maybe you can find him online? His name was Edward Mahoney. No idea what division he was in either. My grandmother knows all this crap ill have to ask her.
@noobsfearme 6th Liverpool Rifles. Cpl Richards He was shot but the bible saved his life David Knapp, a Korean War veteran, said a bullet hole in a Bible was

Thank God my father landed on Utah Beach on D+2. The bravery of the men who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day is unimaginable! Before I die, I have to go to the cemeteries there and pay for my respects to those young men.
@lyvjab Glad your dad made it home. I visited Omaha and Utah beaches, the cemeteries, Pointe du Hoc, Ste Mer Eglise, etc., in '07. A very sobering experience, but very glad I went.
so,as it seems,the movies are showing it wrong.in real life,they seem to go where they want to without enemies firing at them.they are relaxed.but in saving pvt ryan,A LOT of shit happen!
@TheGreekSniperZ It was a very rough landing & they moved men & supplies in for days after. My grandfather was an engineer & he went in on day 3 or 4 & the few photos he has look very similar to these.
@shananagans5 ah so ur grandfather fought.ur grandfather is a hero!my grandfather fought with the greek side and he got shot in the head by the germans.those who went on day 3 and 4 on omaha beach must have been lucky !!
my grnadfather fought on this beach as an american soldier and all his brothers were killed about five feet away from him and when he took me here he fell to his knees and began to cry. Long live the veterans of world war 2

Rommel let the allies in at D-day, he was responsible for the defense of the Atlantic wall.
That's why he's a hero today and had to pay with his life.
He didn't believe in Hitler anymore, the theory Germany push the Allies back to the ocean and deal with Russian's after.
Normandy beaches purposely left weak for the Allies to attack.

That's why, he didn't care about it and Hitler's insanity.
He learned it in N-Africa, how H betrayed him!
Rommel was also part of the H assassination plot.
Allies were surprised , at some of the beaches of Normandy the big guns never been installed.
If I remember right, only 40 thousand defenders, mostly Eastern Europeans not Germans were placed at Normandy!
Without Rommel, hole Europe would have been concord by the Soviets.

@rapefaceFTW It was a thick pocket bible made with black leather I have it in my attic somewhere maybe when I find it ill post some of my own pictures. Why can't you just show some respect for someone who fought in WW2? I didn't expect to get so much hate for trying to honor our troops.... jeez

Ich ehre seines Großvaters Feind,
And dident say it as a "hate comment, just saying, its rather unlikely that the three bullets do hit the same bible.. and a bible is like 4x4cm?
And the bible would be torn to pieces from the first shot so..

Thank God my father landed on Utah Beach on D+2. The bravery of the men who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day is unimaginable! Before I die, I have to go to the cemeteries there and pay for my respects to those young men.

@lyvjab Glad your dad made it home. I visited Omaha and Utah beaches, the cemeteries, Pointe du Hoc, Ste Mer Eglise, etc., in '07. A very sobering experience, but very glad I went.

@TheGreekSniperZ It was a very rough landing & they moved men & supplies in for days after. My grandfather was an engineer & he went in on day 3 or 4 & the few photos he has look very similar to these.
