Great watch but I didn't know Buddy Holly was still alive.

How could the US Army Air Force allow this to happen?

very detailed, very accurate, so interesting that is difficult to stop watching at it. outstanding job!!!

Can we acknowldge the aboslute LEGEND known as Brad Pilgrim? Like holy fuck this guy is who everyone wishes they were. He is the Main Character and we are all the NPCs/Quest Makers. The hands in the leather jacket with his name on it and the fresh cut stash, this guy fucks. This guy drives a classic big block, cammed Pontiac TransAM in your cul de' sac to pick up your mom every thursday while you are out of the house. Someone get this man a fuckin cold beer ASAP. Like on GAWD brother, my dangle and tackle do not compare. Mr Steal Yo Girl himself. You can't tell cause of the hat and camera angle but I bet Brad has gorgeous locks of hair for the perfect mullet. Making every guy and girl envy of what they will never have. Business in the front, party in the back. Speaking of back, did you know he can squat 400lbs? Thats a promise FR. See you at Daytona brother! WOOOOOO DO IT FOR DALE

Interesting story, too bad it’s an AI narrator.

The beautiful details of the aircraft of both USAAF and Luftwaffe is just fantastic, as are the air battles. Back in the late 1960's when I was a young teenager making model planes, these simulations would have blown me away. Thanks again, TJ, for presenting us with these incredible videos.

I wonder who that excellent German pilot was that Bud Anderson shot down on 27th May 1944, just 10 days away from D-Day ? A real shame that he didn't survive the dog fight.

Can someone tell me what happened to the Lexington’s flight crews?

If I recall correctly, many of the pilots of the 357th Fighter Group of the VIIIth USAAF were former pilots of the Royal Air Force Eagle squadron, made up from Americans who had voluntarily joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at the start of the war in 1939 or later in 1940, some of them having flown and fought during the Battle of Britain in 1940. My country is forever indebted to those brave men who put their lives on the breach and defended her in her most desperate hours. England and Great Britain will never forget them or the pilots of orher nations who fought for Britain in those darkest days.

You butcher location names.

Now that navigation on the return flight literally went "Pear Shaped", as we say in England ! I bet the Germans couldn't believe their eyes - a whole formation of B17's flying straight and level over one of their strongest defended towns and harbours in France !

26:27 That was taken after June 6. They wouldn't be tending to wounded Germans on the beach on D-Day.

I've seen all of this before. Most of it is from Sgt. Richard Taylor on Omaha Beach.

So heart breaking. May Luther White and all his fellow crew members RIP. ❤

This story shows the difference of how allied airmen shot down over Japan were treated compared to those shot down over Germany. Despite accounts of airmen being beaten and some even killed by Germans, the great majority were treated well as POW'S and deceased airmen were normally buried with full military honours. In Japan, we hear, the dead airmen were trampled upon by civilians and the survivor executed. The Japanese invariably treated POW'S in the worst possible way, but this kind of treatment was just disgusting, to say the least.

Imagine reading a resume, "flight engineer for B29".....

He's a coward and a liar

The number of 'kills' claimed by bomber gunners were ridiculous, they were so over the moon high that the Luftwaffe would have been severely hampered if they were true. The real purpose of the gunners in a bomb group was to break up the ability of the German aircraft to maintain a stable attack run on the bombers. In this they were indeed highly successful - limiting the time fighters had to hit a targeted bomber to a matter of a few seconds. But in the age of Spielberg and CZcams the Luftwaffe lost scores of fighters on every single mission, after all, the Americans were near-mythical superheroes, the Germans just a clump of incompetent chumps. Cheers!

Some of his family eventually settled in America, creating the famous Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers.

@26:36 - I can ASSURE you that kindest 100% was not on Omaha Beach

And eaten by cannibals.

Biden has told the story so often that he believes it. What is surprising is that he hasn't connected Amelia Earhart to it.

I wished we could see the parts CZcams want let you show us. I was just warned this morning by CZcams about posting a negative comment, and I was like , how can that have been offensive? But yet a lot of the things we see on CZcams are way worse than any comment, and what we're seeing here is history.. It's like they don't want the history of WW2 to be taught. I have 5 kids and my oldest daughter who's 21 yrs old, said she had heard a little bit about WW2 in school and my other 4 were never taught a thing about the WW2 or the Civil wars. It's ashamed

Wierd, it's not like joe biden to lie....

Of great use would be an index of time-frames/locations where filming occurred; potentially indicating unit identification. Have always held the hope of seeing my father (yes, first generation) on film. He landed with Battery "A", 32nd Field Artillery Battalion... 18th Regimental Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division... (where he was amazingly awarded a Bronze Star w/"V") Generally, the 32nd landed mid to late afternoon, where filming would be more realistic/probable.(he died, 1964, when I was 7). Also, is there a project digitizing The landings at Gela, Sicily? (June 9, 1942); where he also participated (same unit). I have one photo of him "somewhere in France '45" as well as his WD AGO 53-55 and complete set of replacement awards and decs.

Rest In Peace, Clarence BUB Anderson. 7:33 I enjoyed your recounts of your life.

Poor Uncle Bozee!😢 Plane shot down and he got eaten by Native Cannibals!!😆😆

AH could not recognize that the British were Germany's true enemy and the Russian's were Germany's true ally. This stupidity cost Germany the loss of the war.

This Parlatore guy enjoys killing people still. What a wasted life.

Something all might find of interest coming from our Commander in Chief at this time.

Just another lie to add to his name even when it comes at the cost of a real service man during the great war. How disrespectful can he be to his family members. So what else is he capable of lying about his family and himself.

There are fixed camera footage of the Canadians landing!!

Impeach!

Have you done a story about how Trump was a draft dodger during the Viet Nam War? Maybe you could tie in how Trump's Dad came here dodging the draft in Germany. A family and f draft dodgers.

This is a lie. Everyone knows he was eaten by cannibals.😂😂😂😂🙄

Why did you usi something that looks like a Polish PZL fighter (even had four 30 cal machine gun pods) to represent his Navy trainer when he clearly stated he was flying in a Taylorcraft?

Total biden crap ! Complete lie !

Gee... more "braindead" lies ! Joe not there...!! Who voted in "stupid" ??.

good presentation, thanks, but no news here

he went down into the ocean with his crew only one survived ,more lies

No, this really matters because many people served, and many people were wounded and tied in the battlefield. Myself included. One uncle shot down over the English Channel. When he arrived back to base, they gave all his belongings away because they thought he was dead. Another cousin Was a sailor on merchant ships and beginning of World War II you had two ships underneath one in the battle of Malta and the other one the Caribbean. The world is full of heroes. And does it really matter if Trump father never served in the army. But it does matter that he cheated stole from the people that he supposed to provide service to.

He's been lying all his life and getting away with it

the luftwaffe was supposedly beaten by june 44. who had them there unescorted should have faced a court martial.

Actually they were àfter one of the B-17' s. They got to it and found it to be crushed by the ice, so they got one of the fighters instead.

My father was a crew-chief on a B-24 called "Smooth Sue."

Please note that the map of Europe is incorrect. It shows the post-war borders of Germany and Poland, and NOT the borders that existed during the war. THE PRODUCERS OF THIS POST NEED TO CORRECT THIS ERROR. ASAP, please! LIKE, NOW!

I don’t believe any WWII U.S. military aircraft were gauged in kilometers, only English units.
