Shortfilm on the 12th SS in Action in Normandy (recreation)

A Short Newsreel type movie shot by our dear friend the late Tyler Hayden. Footage shot at Camp Rilea Oregon in 2002 when the 12th SS of the Pacific Northwest Historical Group PNWHG (WW2 Re-enactment)was at it's finest. This short is one of Tyler Haydens best pieces of work. His style, direction, editing, many great talents and wonderful smile will NEVER be forgotten. May you rest in peace brother! The PNWHG Does not condone, support or tolerate NEO-NAZI activities of ANY KIND! We are a non-political historical group who creates World War 2 Reenactments and work in film as hired extras. Message to Youtube viewers. I want to thank you for all of your insightful responses to this video. However, the actors in this video are a part of a "Non-Political" reenactment group. This is not the proper forum to discuss political opinions about the Nazi regime or the Jews, blacks, or anyone. I just ask that you please keep your comments to the short film itself as a militarily historical recreation or in regards to the equipment and front line soldiers. I will delete any other comments.

Have any of you read the brilliant book "The Germans in Normandy" by British author Richard Hargreaves? Sold by Amazon.

You instantly understand that the Germans in the West was defeated by Allied air supremacy. Not by American GI-superheroes we see in Hollywood movies.

Every soldier quoted by Hargreaves - from generals to Landsers (the German equivalent of Tommies) - lived in fear of the constant air attacks.

12.SS was a good unit

Excellant work. I'd have liked to have heard some Foley effects sound track but what the hey ? Like to know which movies/series they'v been in. Also early in the war until about t43 the SS was provided with some of the best rations and logistics of all German Military units as they were considered the elite units.

@THordasson ..,hey dumbfuck the USAAF at the time was part of the army - United States Army Airforce 'USAAF' was the precursor of the USAF. Was formed as a separate branch of the military on Sept 18, 1947.  Those jabos didn't attack the the poor landsers in Normandy without the doctrine of close air support developed by Gen. Pete Quesada and the Ninth Tactical Air Command and the ground forces. pls gtfoh assclown.

@THordasson Yeah we still had the largest amount of troops fighting on the west and we were the largest contributor to the Pacific Theater

A little disapointed because I thought it was going to be historical footage but I must say your movie looks pretty damn good! I mean I was fooled for a minute, I acutally thought it was real footage.

Use music from Call of Duty: World at War instead, it's much better than Medal of Honor's music.

Not to defend here, but my friends grandfather in the Nazi army.

You would be surprised how many soldiers couldn't care less about Hitler.

All they knew is that they were defending Germany. Most were not even told about the global takeover.

They wanted to go home just like anybody else

The 12th SS were no joke i heard, i mean fanatical idealists.

These guys would toss there shoes before they gave up.

A lot of people have said they were a crack group, some of the best

[isarzwolf]

Great reenactment. I agree with the comments needing to be about the historical accuracy. It has a "newsreel" feel to it, and I think its great to post this.

At least you say Merry Christmas.

Not the Stalin Happy holidays!

Stalin in 1935 allowed the New Year tree to return or Holiday tree.

No mention of Christmas was to be mentioned. If so to the Gulag!
