- In 2021, Jon Wertheim reported on the Ritchie Boys, a secret U.S. intelligence unit who fought in World War II. Many were German-born Jews who fled their homeland before being sent back to Europe to fight Nazism. One of the last surviving members, Guy Stern, died earlier this month at the age of 101.

I was beyond blessed to know a former Ritchie boy and Holocaust survivor named Al Miller. He was extremely vivacious and shared his story for many years at our local Holocaust and Humanity Center in Cincinnati. He sadly just recently passed away, but his knowledge will forever be passed on. May his memory and those of all others be a blessing. ❤❤ #neverforget
My grandfather was part of this . He came from Austria.
Mine too !! from Vienna , Austria ! Sadly he passed away in 2011, the year this information was declassified. He never spoke about his activities in the European war theater.
@@dariuspajouh3283 same as my grandfather he was also from Vienna. Died in 2011 as well. He received a bronze star for his service . I myself am a army vet so when I found that out I couldn’t believe he never told me. I know he was in the Battle of the Bulge but not much more .
Right from Poland.
What an incredible and inspirational story! Loved it!
Thank you to all the men who served in this operation, to all the people who played a part in bringing an end to WW2 and to 60 Minutes for creating this piece ❤
What a wonderful story. I believe I met some back in 1980. Europeans speak4 languages by the time they are in 12th grade. God Bless. They lost their who
Le families. What mental strength.
Wonderful 💯❤
Just wonderful. Thanks.
I only recently learned of the Ritchie Boys and have been amazed at their stories. But there is also another one I stumbled on either on Netflix or Prime. It is called Camp Confidential and these guys were incredible as well and it's well worth watching. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
RIP GUY STERN! Another stellar example of the "Greatest Generation". We had two members of our family that served in WWII, one was Navy the other USMC. We also had family that served in WWI, Korea, Vietnam, & The Cold War. But I most cherish hearing first hand those WWII stories from our family members. We miss you Brownie & Norm. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
What incredible work done by incredible people! It's a shame that the US government wasn't willing to make use of the skills of female Jewish immigrants.
Wish someone would make a movie about the Ritchie Boys!! Mr. Speilbeerg????
We seen enough Holocaust movies. We can watch what Israeli is doing now
This is an incredible story with real heroes and yet all the comments at this point are anti Semitic.
please come home to lsr aeI 🥰
"Earned the right to be an American." ....Wow! They sure did!
Culinary Institute of America ... CIA lol
Awesome story.
Guy Stern died on December 7. Pearl Harbor day.
That's kind of significant to me, Chuck Yeager also died on December 7th. FLY NAVY!!!
All of the Germans "interrogated" by this guy and his compatriots were put through the most horrific torture. One US Army investigation found that the majority had their "testicles damaged beyond repair". Exact quote.
Not at all, they used their charm and wit to get the germans to spill all uncle adolf's secrets! I mean really .... would they lie to you?
American ingenuity at it's best offer these guys citizenship and they will work for you. Specially for a good cause. Germans against Germans.
Wish the historically significant buildings were saved when Ft. Richie was closed & subsequently sold.
A large number of the buildings these men lived & worked in were still standing and being used when the base closed.
I like this commercial
It would be nice to see the Japanese version of these folks.
Look how America has fallen in the last six years.
God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
Waiter, waiter! More schizophrenia please!!!
JEW$, JEW$, JEW$ that's all we ever hear nowadays.
What are you gonna do about it tough guy?
let them have their fantasy.
Beautiful story but can you free Palestine 😅. Don't do what Hitler did to you
They aren't Israeli, they're Jewish Germans. Stop conflating these things
🙄
@@babcock_esq isn't Israel a Jewish country 🤔
@@Noname-sl8unYes. These people have nothing to do with Israel. Israel is a fascist Zionist state, these Jews were helping America fight Germany
Netanyahu and Hamas are the ones responsible for all this, not the Israeli or Palestinian citizens who are the victims of these fascist narcissistic monsters.
