  • Really interesting! I liked the maps as he explained where he went and what happened there. Thanks for the upload.

  • Thank you for this video. It's amazing what 20-something kids did in that war day in and day out for the cause of liberty. Landing on Utah beach must have seemed like Hell on Earth under the volume of fire that the Germans rained down on the beach, yet they pushed on through that and the following year to victory. We certainly owe these members of "The Greatest Generation" a debt of gratitude that we can never pay.

  • Uhm, but he's talking about the Siegfried line and the Hurtgen Forest battle, not the Battle of the Bulge as you have written. Just thought I'd point that out.

    Not saying he didn't partake in the Bulge, I suppose some divisions and battalions faught in both seeing as they were kinda "connected".

  • 6:03 that picture is from the pacific...

  • It's sad for those who didn't even get to fire the rifle. they didn't get to have family's and live a long life. and its sad that they are not going to be living for much longer a generation will soon be gone, but never ever forgotten

  • I can't imagine what he was feeling during this experience.... he has certainly earned rest and peace.

  • my friend's dad's dad told us that his dad died trying to save this guy. ( he died by machine gun fire)

  • Thank you for this video.

    My father was a medic in the 104th Army Infrantry Division. Timberwolves. They were in some of the same battles that Mr Baldridge participated in. They were involved in the liberation of Nordhausen too.

  • stirring testimony. can't thank people like him enough for stopping that horror.
