- The archive of a British D-Day commanding officer including top secret Normandy landing maps is up for auction. Lieutenant Commander Bertram Lambert was a beach commander at Juno in June, 1944. He was responsible for coordinating the landings of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division on the 'Mike' section of the six-mile beach centred on the town of Courselles-Sur-Mer. The fascinating documents also include official memoranda sent by top command in the run up to, and after the landings.

the US flag you guys think are typing is actually the unlying islands flag
The last real war that wasn't fought just for profit and lies and corporate greed and hijacking natural resources.
As I recall from my visit, most of the dead at the U.S. cemetery in Normandy were aviators. The average age of the dead was twenty-four years. Tragic.
Wow. You'd think it would be infantry. So much sacrifice. Even tho there is little honor today. That generation gave their great great great grandchildren a wonderful life. That's a lot of new generations that lived in freedom because they gave their all. Thanks to those
Terrible war, imagine what a graveyard with everyone who died in ww2 buried there would look like.
@@anneball683 He is wrong about the aviators. Most of the buried were killed during the D Day landings and ensuing battles. There are some Army Air Corps crews buried there.
@@davemaxa5263 thx
@@Fred-qk8nm I have been there also, he is wrong. Look at lists of buried veterans most are not air crew members.
This hit me really hard . Thank you to all of the fallen and surviving soldiers for literally saving my life , my family their life , and the whole world . The amount of respect that I have cannot be described with words ! I will be forever gratefull ! May you rest in peace and never be forgotten !
Amen!
I was fortunate enough to visit the beaches and the cemetery on Memorial Day 2017 as part of a trip through NW France and Paris. The French were very grateful and gracious to us American tourists (as if we had anything to do with this magnificent achievement). They keep the cemetery immaculate and our bartender at our hotel showed us pictures of graves that he takes and emails to families who inquire about a relative buried there. I was so humbled to be there and I am so grateful to the men and women who sacrificed (including the French citizens) for the rest of us. By the way, we were treated very well throughout our visit, even in Paris!
We did have something to do with it.. We liberated them from tyranny
@@Chuked No, I meant us tourists. Our nation's commitment to freedom saved western Europe, for sure, and the French know it.
@@Chuked Americans fought, so did Brits, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, Gurkas, the French and many more. Americans need to stop claiming it was all them...
@@juliad368 Aahh juliad, it's just you and me fighting the fight. I've been fighting this battle for over twenty years,, but it never filters through to them.

@@Mrquetzalcoatlus honestly I feel like most Germans hate the nazis,
To the 3 people that gave this video a 'thumbs down '.
Remember that it is your

Thank you for posting this
highly emotive video.
Dude they probably being spammed by this freaking Ad, please help me.
So true
👍
Women didn’t do anything
what facist democracy leading youth to sacrifice lives needlessly ASS WHOLES
I wanna thank all of the WW2 soldiers who are veterans now that fought in the war and for those who sacrificed their lives In WW2. Thank you all for serving In the war.
Profound Respects and Awe. RIP Brave Souls.
My grandpa had fought in Normandy and in the battle of the bulge he was in the 82nd AirBorn Division He recently just passed
A legendary division still kicking ass to this day! Rip to your grandpa
I was fortunate to visit with Mom and nephew in '94 and will never forget the serenity while being the site of great human sacrifice during WWll...RIP great soldiers 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would encourage every generation to visit the cemeteries of both wars. It's a humbling experience and offers a little insight to what past generations did so that we could be free.
My uncle is buried there. Peaceful and beautiful place.
May he rest in piece❤️🙏
Honnestly the landing was ballsy as hell but thats the US for yah. Those guys back then were a different breed.
💯
You know the British and Canadians landed the the exact same time right ?
Thank you all for all your sacrifices! To just disregard your own life, so we could have it better... there's no words for that!!!! It doesn't go unnoticed! Rest in heaven to all the brave men 🙏 ❤️
The world will never forget. Just an incredible visual. The significance of Dday cannot be measured
Wow that’s Powerful makes one very grateful and humble. Those Brave soldiers were human beings just like any of us but they had so much courage RIP to all of them.
lots of respect.
Magnifique vidéo merci... J y suis allé il y a pas longtemp... Dur dur.. Emotion
I will not smile when I go their I'll be thankful. Those soldiers Gave everything to give a country its home again. That shows how big people can love
You can smile my friend, that's what they all fought for. For us to lead happy normal lives. I've just returned from Normandy with my young family. What those boys went through is just unimaginable. From training to pure hell. I thank every single one of them from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
what about the people defending it?
I am Filipino so I never valued Dday as much as every westeners. But I wholeheartedly pay my respect to the fallen and the survivors on the very beach.
My tear drops for you,
Normandy
Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
My grandfather is German he defend this beach from the allies he died there as well after 2 month from this battle in the small town while they was falling back RIP to all the Germans and allies soldiers
So your grandfather was a nazi.
Thanks for sharing ur Grandfather was brave.
@@ChefDuJour78 there is a different between nazi and German and my grandfather was a German he fought for what he believed is right
@@ChefDuJour78 there were a lot of germans against the Nazis, there was like 9 assassination attempts against Hitler in germany
I understand many defenders weren’t German. Many of whom were conscripted Czech and Polish soldiers, other nations as well. Sometimes you have to fight in a war that isn’t even yours to begin with, because someone already took everything from you, except your life and your life is all you have left to gamble.
What would we have done without them. Brave men. Thankyou
Excellent presentation !
Dumbass thought: If I went there and stepped on a forgotten landmine, would I still be a casualty of the war?
No, because the war ended
No. The war is over and any explosive that remains underground is simply a remnant of the past.
Think of it like a soccer match. Once the 90 minutes is over and the players are all gone, it doesn’t matter how many times you kick the ball into the net, the game has already ended.
Just because you have access to the ball and the net doesn’t mean you were apart of the match.
it will be count as an accident
No. You'd be unlucky. Sadly in many parts of the world it's not such an academic question and many of the landmines are 'discovered' by children and farmers. Although landmines have largely been cleared there is tons of ordinance being cleared every year all over Europe. Unexploded bombs are getting rarer but they still pop up every now and again. I heard an estimate that 30% of Ukraine is mined. I can't vouch for the number, no-one could, but I'm sure there's enough for them to still be stumbled on fifty years from now.
merci ;
thank you bro
Thank you for your service!
They done a big sacrifice so respect for the brave soldiers🙏🏼🙏🏼
Today’s was Memorial Day for us we just had our silence a movie played on the tv about this beach and it gave me chills
My Dad landed on 'Gold Beach' on D-Day. luckily he survived the war, but lost a lot of his comrades on that brutal day.
Always remember,NEVER EVER FORGET ❤️
It’s crazy how small these beaches were, 19,000 deaths at most all on these tiny beaches.
Beautifuly done, my wife and grandkids jut got back. They went to every beach. Many tears.
My father survived Omaha Beach. It became part of our family with his recurring memories.
thank you
ah man, i wish i could just go back and time look these soldiers in eye, while being taken into almost certain death, and thank them for everything
Wonderful
I had a great uncle who helped build the pontoons, an uncle that was evacuated from Dunkirk and another uncle that was one of the first British troops into Bergen Belsen of which he never ever spoke and my brother and I were under strict instruction not to ask what he done in the war, he kept his sanity by not speaking about it, but impossible to forget.
My great grandfather also went into Bergen Belsen, he also never spoke of what he saw there. He was part of the Royal Artillery having landed at Normandy on D day +1. Then over to Netherlands, battle of the bulge. Unfortunately to information of which unit he was part of has disappeared through the years.
a wonderful video but so sad all those young lives lost
Thank you for the great sacrifice brave souls. R. I. P 🙏🙏🙏 🇺🇲

Together in arms
Humble
is when you look at those formidable defense positions you realize the amount of bravery required for such operation....these men were..are...and will be always known as the best generation for centuries to come...
If any of you get a chance, I highly recommended the visit to Normandy region. We spent a whole week in the region visiting D-Day landing beaches and sites, Mont Saint Michel, and Etretat. Very historical places for children/new generations to learn history.
Rest in Peace to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our great Nation.. thank you for your courage. My grandfather landed on Normandy Beach with high octane fuel.. he survived but was never the same.
I'm right now here at Omaha beach and it is huge milestone in humans history...
If this didn't happen.. maybe we all in Europe would speak German right now and some of us wouldn't be born at all in the first place
HELMUT ALTO true that. but if it was just one war front... I guess the German could hold it much longer...
But with the attack from the other side Germans Power got torn apart
It feels weird to see a place associated with so much death and destruction look so serene and kind of beautiful.
Few people seem to realize that these events took place almost a century ago. In the US, this beach is a myth, but for locals or vacationers from other places, this beach has been an ordinary swimming beach for generations. Filled with air mattresses, umbrellas, parking lots, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Virtually nothing remains of the invasion 80 years ago, apart from a few skeletons of bunkers. It's been decades since everything was cleaned, and over-cleaned. For information, this beach and the area around had been declared prohibited areas until around 1947, the time needed to clean up most of the damage and demine the area. Many German prisoners also died in these mine clearance operations.
Respect
i hope there's no the 3 world war
It could be with China next.
@@solidstudd22 most likely
Dont jinx it
it could be with canada vs north korea

To think that those beautiful waves that crash to the shore we're ones covered crimson red war is absolute hell

Somehow my grandpa survive the war
You can only imagine......
The brilliant, possibly world-changing minds these people might've had.. lost in war 🙏 RIP
And, as usual, Canadian landing forces were ignored. I’ve been to the Normandy Beaches. It seems the US did everything, practically single handed. We, a much smaller country, provided an outsized contribution to the landing. 🇨🇦❤️
Wow
Back then this beach is hell
My Great Uncle Julian Strand Died during the Normandy Landings on D-Day of German - occupied France in Europe along with my Grandpa which was my Dads Dad that was in Patton’s Third Army, he fought all the way though the Battle of the Bulge but he got to come back home...
I wonder what these brave Americans who sacrificed everything for our freedom would say about the divisiveness of our great Country today.

Why did you upload this in 480p? In 2019.
May both sides all rest in peace in heaven for eternity❤️🙏
RIP to my fellow Canadian soldiers, the first of all soliders to breach the beaches fortified walls and open the gates for the nations behind them. Lest we forget 🌺🥇
Who else is here on Remembrance Sunday 2022? - WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
There were different codename beaches - Gold, Utah, Juno, Sword, Omaha. But among these, I think the one which stood out was Omaha beach because of its unexpectedly high casualties and even though it's a codename, the beach itself which is in Normandy, France has already been called "Omaha Beach" even though the name Omaha originated from the name of a place in the United States.
I salute you all.
I want to become a marine and this just inspires me to do that
First thing i did when i saw the graves i saluted...
I pay respect for those 9000 americans that fought in that hell..
As what one current Army Ranger said at the 75th Anniversary ceremony at St Come du Mont; “They were a different breed of men.”
Its not impossible to be connected to the greatest generation. You may think you are removed, but your not. A great, uncle, Wylie Cliburn went ashore at Normandy. He then fought his way across france and germany, until he was hurt in Aachen, Germany.
Wow I didn't know the number in cemetery.
@HELMUT ALTO thank you
Such a high cost for a peace
And just think, this is 9,000 lives lost and we are currently losing this many every 3 days to Covid. To date we have lost 275,000 to Covid.
This is only creepy knowing this silent beach holds a dark past...
Rip soldiers 🙏
Once again - as always - the D-Day focus is all about Omaha, Utah, Pont du Hoc (all American zones), American troops and American cemeteries. As always, the British, Candian and even the French forces barely rate a mention. Anyone who knew nothing about the war would think from a whole plethora of films and videos - including this one - that not only were the Americans the only ones fighting on the Normandy Beaches, they also won the bloody war on their own; at least, that's what they want everyone to believe. Truly a shameful way to present even a remnant of a history, and the greatest war of all time.
Just for the record, there were more British troops landed on the Normandy beaches than Americans. The casements were British-built and placed in position; along with the Canadians and French, they secured three Beacheads against the Americans' two; the RAF covered the airspace, and the Royal Navy covered the landings; and there are nearly 4,000 British & Commonwealth cemeteries in France and Begium alone, that more than outweigh all the American military cemeteries anywhere in the word COMBINED!
75 years later, who is still reaping all the glory from D-Day, North Africa, Sicily, Italy , France and Germany? Well. if you follow the American history books, you won't find much about British or Commonwealth involvement. You won't find anything about The Brits in Norway, Denmark, Greece, Burma, or the many daring raids they carried-out in the Lofotens, St Nazaire, Bruneval, Dieppe, the Norse Hydro or anywhere else. All the Americans seem able to pontificate about are centred on Normandy, Bastogne and the Pacific - all of which had full British participation, but are never mentioned in American histories.
So let's get away from all of this false American idea that America won the war; it was an Allied war with a great many nations on the Allied side, and all of them played their part. Normandy, Bastogne, Europe as a whole, and the Pacific was a collaboration of Allied Forces and not just Amercan. To complete the record, Britain was compelled to pay an annual "fee" to America for their help in two World Wars. The finished paying for WW1 around the year 2014/5, and President called and end to repayments for WW2 during his term of office...but of course, you won't find all that in their history books!
And if you look at the number of casualties, soviets did the real job on destroying german army. And this is coming from Finland, enemy of soviets.
Thank You, And now finally Britain has a Normandy memorial after all these years.
@@-ETK- Your comment is noted, but has absolutely no relevance whatsoever to either this video or my thread. Neither the video nor my comments were anything to do with Soviets or destruction of any army. Perhaps you haven't got a full understanding of "Subject matter" in the English Language.
@@yellahhhhh8644 Yes Rebecca, and not before time!
totally agree with you. Many americans do tend to make the D Day landings all about America.
Never forget the brave soldiers who fight here and lost there lives. They did it for us so we can go on living in a free democratic world, who seems to destroyed nowdays by some scruples and eager humans. For myself I admire these beave soldiers.
hey anyone at TWGSB
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!

Pvt. John Steele, in reality, hung off the other side of the church tower. The dummy is located on the opposite side for better view by the tourists.
I have a distant relative who fought for the Confederacy during the civil war. He was NOT a slave owner and was actually against slavery as per family records. He was fighting for the protection of his home in rural NC. Just a young kid at the time caught up in a stupid war caused by politicians from both sides. When Johnston surrendered in Durham, NC, he went home to rebuild his life.
Just as it's unfair to say all southerners were slave owning racists, it's unfair to say all German soldiers, especially by June 6, 1944, were on board the sick Nazi train.
Hopefully mankind learned a lesson from each of these wars.
Most of these Germans were just kids, not even nazis either just regular Wehrmacht forces totally unprepared for the ass whooping we were about to deliver after we got slaughtered ourselves.
Yes, of course- the world is complicated. However, your relative may have not been a slave owning racist, but he did fight to preserve the institution of slavery. Not all German soldiers were Nazis but they fought for Nazism and Hitler. I don't know what lesson you want us to learn here- the only way to abolish slavery was to fight the war , and the only way to defeat Nazism and Fascism was to fight the war.
He fought for his home Yeag sure thing
Rip to all Germans and us solders
Respect from a man who his grandfather fights here
Respect from Germany
Nowadays it looks like a normal beach to me

All those crosses my mind thought ue5 nanite
Girls : omg we are going to beach !!!
Boy:
The Germans did not mess around. This was one of their strong holds and they were willing to defend it at all costs even if it means giving their lives up.
So the beaches of Normandy Merrick coming in had a big boots Deville overtake Jeremy strong holds and this is of the biggest challenges of the war but we did it. This and battle Iwo Jima. I am proud and honored to be an American.
@Randy Lahey18 no? It was above 96%.
