- Storming the D-Day beach, Hollis didn’t take cover. Instead, in a moment of extreme courage, he stood up and ran zigzagging towards the German bunker with his gun blazing, slapping in a new magazine as he reached the enemy and silenced the threat, he then moved on to the second bun-ker taking 25 Germans prisoner. Sergeant Stanley Hollis continued to storm into action throughout the day. For displaying the utmost gallantry, he was the only man to be awarded the Victoria Cross on D-Day, an incredible feat.

Hello
@Vater Geshenk I know it's a rickroll
@@nasuegaming1255 yea lol the Q in theend
Love your videos keep it up dude
Hey yarnhub can u mute the chat? Everyone’s spamming “E” “Stop spamming E” and “Soviet”
Fun fact: he is actually from my hometown, Middlesbrough and actually has a statue outside of Albert Park
thats actually good to know
Have you been to his Pub? (assuming it’s still there) He run a pub after the war, called The Green Howard (of course)
@@arnaldoteodorani277 Pub was demolished in 1970 according to Wikipedia.
Edit: He owned another pub after the Green Howard, the Hollywell View in Liverton Mines new owners in 2020 so I imagine it's still going today.
Ah mate this really is a fun fact as I’m form Middlesbrough aswell 👍
Nice
"Obsitnate but imprecise mauser bullets"
Him: "i've just been lucky"
To be fair. Surviving machine gun fire and only being grazed by a single bullet is pretty lucky. It took bravery and luck to pull off the feat he did.
@@LEFT4BASS if he hadn't that luck he would be dead but he deserves all luck of the world, i mean his balls weigh for sure more that all water in the oceans
edit: than*
The bullets weren't imprecise, it was the dullards pulling the triggers. Mauser K98's were known for their accuracy.
@Kwoney ammunition by nature only has potential to be accurate. The German 7.92×57mm cartridge can be very accurate in a K98, but woefully inaccurate in a sawn-off SBR. The K98 had several features to make it an accurate rifle. Cartridges themselves are not an indication of actual accuracy, only potential accuracy. The K98 can be accurate using several other types of ammunition too.
@Kwoney and there is no need for the video to mention the type of gun used. They are Wehrmacht, they are issued the Mauser K98.

The amount brawns of steels this guy has, what a madman!
Also, it's refreshing for me to hear stories from British sides during D-Day. They are not really well mention much like the Canadians, French (mostly Kieffer Commando), Poles and much more.
So, it's really nice. :3
It's kinda strange that poles would be fighting on both sides during D-Day
@@NBH-xh3nq i mean, there was a Korean fighting for the Germans at D-Day. Are the polish so strange to imagine?

NONE SHALL PASS!
My God. Yarnhub deserves millions of views for such a well-narrated story and God-Tier level of presentation. No other history channel has this level of quality for weekly uploads!! That's just insane.
Dear yarnhub, I have discovered your channel through the video where a bf 109 spared a b-17, (not the remaster)
The very first video in this channel.
And since then i have been captivated by your style of animating i have never seen anything like it before so i decided to stick around, i got worried when it took some time before you got to upload your 2nd video, but when i saw it i was amazed yet again by the great storytelling and narration not to mention the fantastic story telling. So after that i subscribed to your channel seeing that you deserve it and had the opportunity to see you learn and experiment with the animations i saw your skills develop with every video adding a little humorous easter egg on the background
When you decided to start animating in 3d, it was really uncanny at the beggining but, with every video they got better, from improving the faces to adding better eyes, i was amazed by the fact that with your weekly uploads you managed to improve in one way or another you never stopped feeding us quality animations and entertaining stories that beat fiction. To this i say thank you for the work you give to us your fans for *free*. Even though you never had any incentive to improve beyond your first style (the 2d drawigs you used to do) you still did it, i admire the dedication and hard work that you put onto your videos and i wish you all goodluck to your future ventures and thank you for taking us fans along the ride.
Someone rewarded this guy for pure honesty and how he spoke his mind
Thank you for the kind words!
GIVE HIM THE HONER
I salute you
@@Yarnhub :-D
Currently reading Stephen Ambrose's take on D Day. Heard Max Hastings one is better, gives the audience a better understanding and non bias view. Looking forward to this!
All authors and books have an element of bias.
Having read Max Hastings' and Stephen Ambrose's books on D Day, Hastings' book is more focused on the British involvement, and Stephen's is more focused on American involvement. Not sure if biased is the right word, but both books have their own perspective.
@@truereaper4572 It’s well known that Ambrose has a very negative view of both the British and Canadian forces during the war. More than just a case of perspective.
@@frankanderson5012 Hastings himself is percieved to have a poor view of the Allies in general, but seems particularly keen to point out any failings in the British and Canadian ranks; 'Hitler Hastings' is his nickname amongst some corners of the Armed Forces for his percieved bias against the British and Canadian forces, though he is more a journalist than a historian proper. I didn't care much for his work or his views. I've never read any Ambrose though, admittedly.
Bias is indeed present, no matter the historian. That's why its important to read a variety.
@@truereaper4572 Good to know. Thank you for your info! Appreciate it. My first Hasting's book was Das Reich. I loved it. I showed all sides pretty well. What was you?
Germans shooting at the americans on omaha: "Hans this aimbot feature is pretty good."

Nah Hollis was very laggy

@@Joebamium ah I get it (laughs in French servers)
My Uncle who was in the Green Howards,told me he was in Stan Hollis’s platoon and was involved in the action on the day of him being awarded the Victoria Cross. He said he was giving Hollis covering fire on the Bren Gun . I have tried to find Military Records of this but have not been able to. Do you have any suggestions where I may be successful? My Uncle (Jack Thei) passed away 18 years ago.
God bless him and your family.
Respect from America.
God bless.
Tried the war diaries of the regiment? We managed to find some for my great grandfathers unit from WW1 so they're definitely out there. IIRC my Father phoned around Staffordshire antique book shops (he was in one of the Staff's units), left his details and managed to get 2 copies within a week or two. Maybe try something similar up Yorkshire way?
Here is some respect from Northern Ireland
to ur uncle: mission passed earned respect+
I love this channel. Not only for it's content, but the animation style and silly details.
Do you mean details in the background like the german on the red tricycle in the tank alley video
@@ajollyduck yep
Yarnhub deserve millions sub
From worst to best graphic
Not a million, But a 10 Mil!
you mean the graphic from best to perfect??...never been worst
Infographic style to literal 3D in less than 5years
So true lol
We must have very different definitions of "worst", because I only remember a great artsyle that just kept evolving and improving.
Ah yes… matching calmness under danger like Sergeant Bourne in Rorke’s Drift.
Hi I saw the video oversimplified made about you
Josephen sure is a great kisser!
His comment about the 'special equipment' - so totally, typically British. And Yorkshire in particular. An incredible man.
"Protective cover is for nerds" - Probably hollis
"Nerds like that survive longer than most Leeroy Jenkins"
Someone.
And he was referring to the condom.
The British always had their humours around even in the tough times..
Yes!
“Because I was a Green Howard.”
Well they march in Double Time, so I presume they run and come in double too.
That's the green jackets that double time
Hollis, Mad Jack, and Spiers walk into a bar, Germany had left the chat
If that moment had happened, I'd pay good money to have that meeting recorded.
Sorry to ruin the fun, but, can you tell me who is spiers is? I didn't know who he is or if yarnhub already made a video about him, then I must be forgot about him
@@D_gadofwar Ronald Spiers, of E Company, 101st Airborne, 506th PIR. He was living legend in the airborne.

atleast thats who i assume they're talking about
@@ChillGamerLad ah, thanks mate, really appreciate that
Hollis, Mad Jack, and Spiers walk into a bar. Germany leaves it through a window
This is why this guy is the absolute best history CZcamsr ever, ( I know he probably doesn't work alone) but he puts his heart and soul into making these Beautiful animated films Explaing detail after detail. The best part is he doesn't care about Ad revenue, He only wants us to learn history in a fun a cool way.
Thank you Yarnhub!
0:30 Best sponsor I have ever seen
I like how at 0:40 , when he says 'screw' his mouth blurs. I love this channel so much.
The fact that he was the only man out of 160,000 men to get the Victorias Cross on D-Day is insane.
Only 83,115 British and Canadian (61,715 of them British) troops were eligible.
@@CIMAmotor "Only" 😂
Basically soldiers bring condom not to screw with anyone, Sometimes some soldiers during this era actually use condoms to prevent the guns to be filled with water and jam it, But you still have to take it off to shoot, Or just shoot it with it on, But you will need another one to prevent it again
Exactly- the condom was almost certainly to put over the barrel of the Sten to stop sand and water getting in during the amphibious landing. Sten's were notorious for jamming and very unreliable as Czech SOE agents found during the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
Interesting!
This is bull crap you made this up
@@ivancortes4123 no, not really, some fuck some don't
When your so chad you throw a grenade and it doesn't explode the enemy dies anyways.
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
@@soonlytaing1708 Exactly
Reusable grenade!
No wonder he was such a war machine. He had an infinite ammo buff!
This is amazing! Stan was my grandmother’s cousin, and I grew up listening to these stories about him. The imagery in this video brings to life all the tales I heard as a child. Stan and his family lived with my grandmother during the First World War, and Stan and my great uncle Bill enlisted together for WW2. I’m told Stan was a redhead with a fiery temper to match!
Now This is what I called "the British Rambo"
"A very important piece of equipment: a condom."
that really threw me off there...
They would put condoms on their rifles to avoid getting them dirty... lol
@@generalbaguette4539 YEP! The Old Man, my grandfather told me his until used them to cover the muzzle of his M-1 rifle to ensure the barrels were clear after the drop.
What a character this man was! I think we all need someone like this in difficult times! Loved the white cat again! I learned something new today again about the D-Day invasion of Normandy! Well done again! Thank you so much indeed!
Your cat should be awarded, whanever the battle is shes always present, Bravo!
hey yarnhub, i just gotta say that the graphics and animations have improved a lot. Sofar, my fav vids are: when a bf-109 spared a stricken b-17, the rebot; when the 101st airborne division saved friend and foe; and this.
Very interesting someone should make a movie about this legend.
Hollywood might. Would have to make him American obviously.
@@andym9571 agreed I believe they will call the American version dumbo oh I mean rampo I meant Rambo
Check out the Rambo 2014

Imagine getting killed by a guy named Hollis whenever you are playing Enlisted on a D-Day battle.
When Yamamoto said they awoke a sleeping giant, he probably wasn't expecting an actual giant.
Continuing the streak, baby!
I love how Yarnhub did a better character model! I still remember the Char B1 upload, it seemed only yesterday! I also love how the Yarnhub Premiere Audience are growing and are very active! Good job Yarnhub! Will be waiting for your next best (which, I predict will be next week! ;)
*Stanley Hollis is the real life equivalent of Captain John Price.*
This man has been awarded the highest award for the British, there should be an award called Hollis award for peoples that fights in 3 major battles and contributes just a little bit to a war effort.
The background music and sounds makes it more better, keep up the good work!
Previously i've said
"Pls do memphis belle". I hope you may do it in the future, yarnhub
Same
Someone please remind what that was?

Wow, More videos about D-Day... I love this one.
Every single Yarnhub video has surpassed my expectations. Just a simple action packed quality graphics and a smooth animation, along with the brilliant writers and animators, and of course, the narrator. Loving it Yarnhub, keep up the excellent job. Don't forget to take a break!
Wow, thank you!
Awesome! .. served with the British in NATO, from 1984 to 1987. Fantastic people, great Duty :-) love from North America
It looks just like Dunkirk!!! And btw amazing way of telling the stories!
The final comments in this video are a good example of humility, as we all should have, if a guy like that is humble, then who are we to not be?
4:25 love the shadow animation! Keep it up!
God this is better than Hollywood graphics 😫
i been watching yarnhub for over 6 months and the presentation and storytelling only get better and better
Dang, this channel deserves a million subs!
@Yarnhub this channel has easily become my absolute favourite for filling that craving of historical videos, and all done in a brilliant way... not only in animation but narration too
Finally! A Yarnhub video with no ad or sponsor.A NORMAL VIDEO!!
When you come to the stream early....
Man the graphics were good! Can't wait for the next one
54 minutes left for it to premiere, I'll like the video in advance.

This animation style is awesome.
2:47 I love that visual storytelling, showing that he took out those gunners as the camera stops shaking.
this has got to be your best work at yarnhub. the music. the animation and the voice acting. all put together it makes what i belive to be your magnum opus
This chap has balls of steel. What a badass
This guy needs A movie all about himself. Not only is he a living walking war God. But when questioned about it he is completely humble. Another example of a perfect soldier
i love your channel, your animations bring life back to things
that most people forgot, your work is so important to teach people about the most important events of human history, keep up this awesome channel, it is unique!
We knew his family in Stockton they had a sweet stall on the market every Saturday. He remained modest to the end..
This was a really good episode, every time I watch a new video I see improvements. Awesome job!
Thank you very much!
@@Yarnhub could you do a aircraft carrier vid?
Everyone else: Talking about how great this guy is
Me: I wonder if he used the condom after the war
Maybe if anyone found French women
The vid shows him tossing it over his shoulder, so if that is accurate, nope, he did not use it.
The animation has gotten so much better since your beginning. I remember those days. Good job!
Great vid Yarnhub!
Breaking news: Man literally too angry to die
My dad was a green Howard, he did Ireland ,Germany ,falklands ,Oman ,he met Stan when he was older at the pub he owned in Middlesbrough where we are from just like my dads farther he was always a Howard who was in Germany ,I don’t see my dad so mych but when I was younger and all the photos I have of him makes me realise how badass they all were Rip grandad and to my dad who’s still alive who I don’t see any more he’s still always been my idol
I love this video because I don’t see much of these kind of videos about the other allies’ experience on D-Day
Boy, you Brits are real fans of "N" guns. Bren, Fren, and Sten, aren't you? Great video as always!!!
No they just like the sound of "En"
Don't forget the ENfield
@@Bikavin Lel
Whats a Fren?
Yep! A lot of it has to do with the fact that the (En)field company had a hand in a lot of designs/production of these things, so the name took that into account.
The spitfires are awsome i hope u do a video on one of those
It's amazing how far Yarnhub has come, props to them!👍
This channel is amazing and only gets better! Thank you! I’ve been here since nearly the beginning:) always supporting this amazing content. Keep it up.
There is a memorial in Crépon, which pays tribute to Hollis, the Green Howard’s, and the TT 50th Division. Their liberation is celebrated every year by the local community.
The greatest generation who lead by example. Nothing but respect to the men and women who fought for our freedom.
Another great story and I appreciate learning more about the British forces during D-Day.
Also, loved the look of the German machine guns ooking out of the beach bunkers as well as those Spitfires flying overhead.
This guy doesn't need cover, cover needs him.
My name is Vaughan Montgomery! I’m actually a distant relative of Field Bernard Montgomery, and very proud of it ! Went to go see his actual car in a museum. Quite something.
Monty had a car? Strange, I thought he always drove around in a Sherman with his beret on.
Allies: Hollis get to cover you're in danger
Hollis: I'm not in danger, I AM danger!
Hollis is the one who knocks
there were a lot of soliders like him in the war but story of most of em is gone and forgotten forever
The only one still alive to get an in person award of this magnitude*
There mahe have been more, brilliant soldiers who didn't make it.
You shouldn't mess with a Yorkshire man not when he's angry
the Germans should feel lucky they're not messing with a Scotsman, oh wait they technically did
Unless you have an army of foul french mercenaries and weak-willed welsh traitors to do your fighting for you.

This one looked a lot more epic than the other ones! I loved it! It made me think as it was a documentary made with a lot of budget, i love your content Yarnhub
"Are we gonna make war with the germans, or screw them!?" LMAO
The green Howard's are one the one regimentals that has formed my regiment, the Yorkshire Regiment
The animation quality on these is getting real good, keep up the good work delivering lesser known stories from the war! (also yay for no sponsorship breaking up the vid)
From 2D animation to this beautiful 3D animation but I don’t know why people even dislike these videos
This story literally gave me goosebumps!!!!
He focken threw the grenade, killed two men and then picked up the grenade back.
Putting the great in Great Britain what a man!
Amazing story of bravery. I would add that every man who had the courage to land on the D Day beaches on 6th June 1944 under intense fire deserved a medal of a high order.
I've always been interested in different ways people have won the Victoria Cross I recently went on a tangent about the gurkas they have won a few serious tales just amazing how selfless they really are to earn it like it's always next level for a vc
All other soldiers: take cover everyone
Hollis: No you fools you run to them not hide from them
Epic history and video!
Wow production quality has increased so much. Great video.
Give it some time, this channel will soon be making triple A productions to compete with Disney. Trust me
As a Canadian I would love to see you do a video on Major David Currie, the only Canadian to earn a VC in 1944. There's also a great story about the paradogs that were used on D-Day. There is a story about a dog named Bing that jumped on D-day and earned the animal equivalent of the VC, the Dickin Medal.
Quite some story of courage and endurance. Having men like that makes all the difference between winning or losing a battle. His actions saved a lot of mens lives coming onto the beach after him. God bless him.
dude I really appreciate the work that goes into the videos you make. 42/10
