Welcome to the WW2 Wayfinder Channel. I have always been fascinated by World War 2 and now I want to share that passion by bringing stories of that conflict to life.
I travel to Normandy, Belgium, Italy and further afield to film the battlefields of WW2 and bring first hand accounts of what took place in the very locations they happened 80 years ago! Filming on location, using aerial photography and original wartime footage in each episode I bring to life locations that normally remain hidden in the history books.
I hope through the channel it keeps the memory of those who fought for freedom alive and provides an educational aspect for those who want to know more about this incredible period of history!

101st on D-DAY: The Most FAMOUS Then & Now
101st on D-DAY: The Most FAMOUS Then & Now
The 101st had a Rendezvous with Destiny in Normandy and thankfully their role in D-Day was captured for all time by men of the US Signal Corps.
One of those photos is especially famous, and possibly one of the most famous photos taken of a 101st paratrooper in Normandy! That is the photo of Wilbur Shanklin, but where was it taken and what events surrounded that location during D-Day and the following days?
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder, I take you to Turqueville, near Sainte Mere Eglise and explain the location, the battle there and the enemy the 101st were facing there!
I hope you enjoy the episode.

Quite amazing !
Free Palestine
Ridiculous
There are so many examples of how outrageous exploitation and rampant commercialism is weaving it's sickening threads through modern life. Doing the right thing takes second place to making a quick and easy buck and we stand by and let it happen. Is this really what these extraordinary men fought and died here for? Pains me to say it but the best response it to simply not go there, don't give your money to these leeches, they are profiting from the suffering of the greatest generation who 's legacy they have no right to feed off.
The Loyal 49th from Edmonton moved north from Ortona. The were relived by a Sikh regiment. The Americans were helped by restoring the Mafia whom Mussolini had repressed. They went up the west side
Very well done.
This sound very emotional for army
Is there anyone that does an 82nd complete tour? Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Holland and Germany? I always wanted to walk in the footsteps of giants. C/1/504/82ABN

This is my favourite series

I am running out of words to describe these stunning, thought provoking pictures. Absolutely amazing and thank you for sharing them
My father drove through Falaise the day of the German defeat. What they saw deeply disturbed all the British and Canadian troops seeing it. What another waste of fine young men!!
You are a lucky person to have such old photos..
Poor people..
Good Video I was a Pilot in AAC and in 1996 I had the privilege to fly Major Howard to the Bridge It is a day i would never forget to meet the men who did the job was fantastic All Gone now
Mntp
The King Tiger is the King of all tanks of WW2, until it met the Super Pershing.
☝️Tremendas las imágenes con las fotos de esa época durante la guerra, Nunca más!!!!
Saw your post on patreon, so not sure how I missed this episode. Absolutely brilliant march, well done by all. Had to be a hell of an experience for you Jon. As always thank you for what you do sir. 🫡
Wow this is really cool good job finding all the places where the photo meet up. Keep up the good work 😀.
Refreshing. Healing.
Did anyone else catch the Easter egg at 3:45? It totally blew my mind!
Turely incredible
Great video. My late father was dropped with 12th Yorkshire Para Btn at Ranville. They then made it to the bridge and was there when Lord Lovatt's Commando brigade arrived, hearing the pipes as they marched.
Ehrlich gesagt ist das Bild was gezeigt worden ist auch richtig schön geworden und schön anzusehen.
Great stuff! You should start leading tours! Im in!!!!🇺🇸
Good idea
Сколько жертв со стороны России и Европы, и все равно власть ненысытная, все мало им. А встреча на Эльбе, все радовались и целовались. Неужели этого мало ......стыдно должно быть, они воевали, что бы жили вместе в мире.
Nice job lining up photo to real life landmark.🙏💙 Peaceful Repose RIP to General Patton. Let ✨ 🕯️ ✨ light perpetual shine upon him and all the fallen soldiers.✌️✨🕊️🩸✝️🌹🎖️🦅💐🌻🛐

Интересно что за трубы в доль дороги
They’re the fuel pipes from Port en Bessin that then headed inland.
@@WW2Wayfinder спасибо)
Love it ❤
Thanks! Weirdly the one with the pipes along the road just south of Port en Bessin is one of my all time favourite Then and Now’s!
I really had no idea of the extent of PLUTO. I thought piping petrol under the Channel was enough, establishing an ad hoc filling station just off the beach on the other side in France. Apparently not! Nice research as always.
It was a monumental effort and one of those vital elements of the initial weeks following the invasion but unglamorous and doesn’t get much attention but one heck of a feat of engineering!
Bien...
Merci!
Is this really the exact place or you think it's the same?
It’s the same spot
I believe you, but the landscape changes make me doubtful. I mean, who would hv flatten the elevated hill or the wall?
Check the cemetery wall and archway. They haven’t changed. Lots of land gets redeveloped for seemingly no real purpose but someone at some point must have believed it was worth the effort. I agree though, I was expecting to see the wall on the left still present
Tysm for going to these very important historical sites. 🩸🎖️✝️😢🙏💙✨🕯️✨🕯️🕊️🤍
Wow its looks familyar😧

Another excellent and interesting video. Love the 'Then & Now' comparisons and drone/bird level shots too!
