Very interesting, but the narrator is bloody awful! The Denholm Elliot entry is a real cock-up

Great movie. Good looking guy.

I hate the robot narration.

Richard Todd should have been number ONE!

Denholm Elliot was never in the USAF. He was in 76 Squadron, RAF. He never served in the Pacific Theatre and being a British serviceman never received a Purple Heart. But apart from that, spot on.

10 of so many

Interesting facts that are incorrect facts. Like always You Tube spreading false information.

What's this awful Darlek commentary... Ruins the video.

Spoiled by the AI voice.

What about spike Milligan's and Harry secombe

#LestWeForget Thanks for the share.

You insult him with the crappy narration why don't you people speak instead?

Real men ❤❤❤❤❤

Denholm Elliot was never in the USAF. Nor was he ever in the Pacific theatre of operations, as for the Magnificent 7....

Thanks for honouring these people. Who proofreads your material? No one????? I have two massive complaints. 1)...Concerning Denholm Elliott: He sure wasn't in a B-29 and he sure wasn't in "The Magnificent Seven". What is wrong with you to submit such garbage as fact for the life of a veteran? (2)...Your AI voice over is garbage....too many mistakes and mispronounciations . What about a real voice? Cut the crap and hire people.

Dude Denholm Elliott was not in the Magnificent Seven

I wish you had used a real, not AI voice. Unlistenable to.

Denholm Elliott could NOT have served in Hallifaxes and B29's especially since he was a POW at the time B29 were bombing Japan

LESLIE HOWARD KILLED BY THE GERMANS !!!!!

I don't like this a.i. / robot voice.

On the flip side, actor James Mason refused service in the British armed services. He also refuse to be an ambulance driver and also refused to work in the fire units that put out the fires caused by the German bombers. He would not do anything to help the war effort. This is why Mason will never receive any award from the British government. He did not object to makin movies which made him a lot of money.

Seems like all Brits served in that terrible war.

What an action-filled life! A man of action turned performance artist. May he rest in peace.

Great man....... but why, oh why use a second rate computer voice?

Nigel Green (Colour Sergeant, Zulu) Royal Navy

Wow, He plays a part in a major war film. Taking a Bridge in the Longest Day. My Father was in the 1st and my Uncle in the 6th. After a bridge too far. occurred, There was not enough men left, So disbanded into the 6th. That's where Dad and my Uncle went to Palestine. To think Richard Todd was one of those men with them. Dad never mentioned him. But saying that, They never said anything about any of it.

The AI voice id very good, but not perfect. An actual person would automatically realize that 2nd is pronounced "second", and that in Cafe de Paris, Paris is pronounced Paree. Having said that, Richard Todd was my boyhood hero, especially after seeing the Dam Busters..

Sam kydd was captured in france & was a prisoner for 5 yrs

Interesting Fact.(not included). The British actor, Richard Todd, played Major John Frost in the film "D Day". After taking the bridges over the river Orne (Pegasus Bridge), the first relief was lead by Lt. Richard Todd. So, in character, he gave orders to himself.

You guys forgot Richard Todd Normandy Landing survivor!

My uncle served aboard HMS Hood too, but was transferred before it's fateful meeting with the Bismark. He served as a Royal Marine.

I would subscribe but the synthetic voice is crap.

1:05 stop with the damned computer voice. It fails to get the pronunciations right and simply grates.

Great guy. True Airborne. RIP.

The narrator's voice seems automated!

I can't help but think I would have been reluctant to serve under someone named Lt. Col. Pine-Coffin.

NO!!! About 5 seconds in and I've stopped watching, can't bear that robotic commentary. It's CZcams and 2023, do a human voice over for goodness sake. Rubbish

Tried real hard to tolerate that damned computer voice. Mute and just read the thing.

Robot voice. Seriously get a human to read the script.

Imagine those Germans at Pegasus Bridge: _Oh mein gott, es ist Richard Todd !_ . (blame google if that's wrong).

Sound track ruins it. Fourth pronounced 4ST. I mean!

My Dad was a Para at the Pegasus Bridge he was blown up by a Mortar and was badly wounded loosing part of his calf Muscle and wounded elbow cutting his tendon he could never completely extend his arm after that and got a full war pension but used to get one of his mates to take to take his medicals when applying for jobs his picture is on the wall of the cafe from the day he remembered the Daughter when he visited many years after his name was Sidney Reeves (I believe his nick name was Didge) from Liverpool mum said they had just got married and Dad volunteered for the Paras because it was an extra shilling.

Jimmy mcardle was a friend of mine (Jim died in 2009) he spoke highly of Richard Todd having served with him in 6 para during the war ( Jimmy is actually captured in a dug out holding a radio during market garden)and in Palestine, he was always there ar regimental gatherings, a tough man in and out of Army, especially regards his two Sons, a british patriot.

it's nice to here something about the Britts during D-Day ..Seems Todd was a bit of a good guy con artist early on ...well done Mr. Todd and thank you

Apparently he wore the beret in the film that he actually wore on the day. The Longest day as a film was limited . To state everything in one film would have made the Longest film ever. In his autobiography he stated he lived for a while near Toomebridge Northern Ireland.

Fantastic story, dreadful ai narration.

A Computer reading this and pronouncing things wrong....This man deserves more than this, let WW2TV deal with this and lets make this proud and worthy of the man.

Why is the narrative so stilted? Some kind of AI bot? Really weird.

Denholm Elliott wasn't in The Magnificent Seven.

A very amateurish production.
