D-Day Tribute - Saving Private Ryan - Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day

Just a D-Day tribute I have just make. Maybe its not so good as the one I made last year, if you want to check it out, cilck the linke below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfb8ECelZQ&feature=channel_page . But i tried to do my best. You are the ones who say if I did. However, this video is in meory of those who died 65 years ago, in a day like this (but it was a cloudy one).
The Operation Overlord was originaly for June 5th, but there was a bad weather, so it was for the next day, June 6th, 1944. the landing took place in 5 becahes. Code names: Utah, Omaha, Juno, Gold and Sword. the american troops would take Utah and Omaha, as the 2nd Ranger Battalion would take Point Du Hoc, some clifts between Utah and Omaha, with some guns avaible to stop the invasion. While the american troops took those beaches, the britishs would take Gold and Sword beach with the help of some french guys added to the 4th Commando. And the canadian troops would take Juno beach. The americans had several loses in Omaha beach, about 9000 soldiers down. In Utah, the soldiers landed in the wrong place, yes, the wrong place. So, once in land, traveled to the german bunkers and attacked them from the rear. In Point Du Hoc, they faced death from the top of the clifts. Only few of the soldiers in the first wave reached the top of them. In Juno, the canadian troops had many cassualties, maybe so much as the americans in Omaha. The brits advanced trhought hell and engagged the enemy. But... we shouldnt remember just the soldiers that landed in the beaches, we should remember the paratroopers too. those guys who, no matter what happened outside, jumped off the planes, no matter the fire, the death in the ground, those brave soldiers who fought alone together. At the west side of Normandy, The 82nd and 101st airborne divisions would have been dropped. Having different objectivs, like Saint Mêre Eglise, vital for the succes of the invasion. As well, the 6th british airborne division SAS would hold the east side, avoiding the german troops going to the beaches and holdin vital bridges. The americans got lost with the heavyu enemy fire but they reagrouped and made mixed units to get their duties done. the firsts 24 hours of the invasion were decisive. Rommel wasnt in Normandy to engagge the enemy quickly and everybody else thought that Normandy was fake and the real invasion would come by the Dover Starights. In fact, Hitler keept some troops there, denying Rommel to move them to the front because the Furher thought that the real push was about to come. One of the desicive momments was when some german tank divisions sppoted some enemy aircrafts, and retreated thinking that those were more soldiers, but htey were just supplies. However, Overlord succeded, and Paris was liberated. Even if Eisenhower keept a paer in his pocket scince June 5th. That paper, that he forgot about, was what he was going to say if the troops wouldnt advance in the beaches and die, failing Overlord.
Maybe the war would have ended in different ways if the german soldiers would have repeled succesfully the invaders, and the europe we know today would be different.
This video is in memory of those who died in taht war, specially that bloody day. Those soldiers wont be forgotten. those brave soldier who landed no matter the hell that was out there. The french Commandos, american rangers and paratroopers, british soldiers and canadians, and why not, the germans who defended bravely the attlantic wall. Those soldiers who hold their possitions and didnt give up untill they had the order to retreat. Those soldiers, maybe already forgotten, shouldnt be forgotten. They were so brave as the allied ones, and fought so hard as their enemies. To all those soldiers, R.I.P

Im from Spain, we didnt took part in WW2 but I will allways feel so grateful and proud of those American heroes who fought and died for freedom. I will never forget the sacrifice thousand American families did for all of us. From the deepest of my heart, thank you American friends.

Gone, but not forgotten, God bless America.

[zonkercousteau]

@zerozapatero Don't want to burst your bubble my friend but Spain was involved in War War 2. I believe the man was called Franco. Remember that many people from many countries served and died during World War 2. As a Canadian, I'm very proud of the contribution of our men and women who served and died in France, Holland, Italy, Honk Kong, but to name a few. We were there before the Americans ever thought of getting involved.
