    The credits start scrolling.
    I watched about 5 hours when it was live but I couldn't immediately catch up as I was half a year behind on the regular epiaodes.
    Now I finished this just astonishing documentary and it really bothers me a bit that I couldn't really support this whole project financially, that is a monolith for future viewers that want to learn more about this day.
    Now it is time to catch up the next two and a half months of this gigantic project that just blows most other channels out of the water.
    Needless to say, this channel did not just change my perception of WW2 and might have also changed me as a person but also my old way of thinking about D-Day was puts on its head now.
    I just want to say that you guys do such an amazing job and that every view is well deserved.

    One could consider the view counts on the subsequent videos in the project at this time to be comparatively low, but I think that's only due to the practical reality that I don't think anyone was able to watch for 24 hours. On waking up, your choices are to start where "now" is, or to start from the beginning. Worrying about missing key information, most people started from the beginning. I chose the former, with the full intention of watching back for full context. I would not be overly surprised if part 1 on the main channel reaches 400,000 views at a minimum quite soon, which is especially impressive considering how few other videos of such length will have that many views.
    Quite like the reflection upon the day, it's not only about the initial surge or the somber reflection on any failures, but about the momentum that comes after the start and continues to build. I consider this documentary project to be the best and greatest ever produced, and I consider it an incredible gift to the whole world. I can't thank enough not only those on camera speaking, but also everyone involved even in small ways, those still allowed this to exist.

    Holy smokes, if that wasn't the most complete documentation of D-Day ever made, I don't know what was. Entertaining, educational, a good mix of seriousness, yet still with the one or another light hearted tidbit thrown in... Really guys - you did it. It will take a long time, if ever, before anything akin to this quality will come out. I am seriously impressed.
    And not only this - but the whole series.
    Coming from Germany, history classes focus mostly on the attrocities and warcrimes with a strong message of 'never forget' and less about the military side.
    But I think, you need to know the context of the war, its battles and movements to really understand what happened... or at least get a grasp on the utter madness of that time period.
    So I am glad a show like this exists, because it's not only well made and educational in an entertaining way - it's also important to get a fuller picture...
    In short: Thanks, to all of you.

    Congratulations to all of you for the 24 hour D-Day compendium, it was simply fantastic! I consider myself to be a “armchair historian” of WW2, especially the western front. However, I learned a great deal from your 4-part series. Being American I thought I would be most interested in the Utah and Omaha detail, but I found your discussions of Sword, Juno, and Gold to hold my attention. Again, thank you for all your hard work, and for making a documentary for the ages.

    amazing series. I've listen to hundred of documentaries on World War II and a lot of them were about the Normandy. And read as many books... This one is by fare the best, the most complete, detailed, researched and amazingly explained with amazing writing. Bravo. Listened to all 4 parts.

    I think it would be good to quote Ernest Hemingway on Omaha Beach:
    “Those of our troops who were not wax-gray with seasickness, fighting it off, trying to hold on to themselves before they had to grab for the steel side of the boat, were watching the (battleship) Texas with a look of surprise and happiness. Under the steel helmets they looked like pikemen of the Middle Ages to whose aid in battle had come some strange and unbelievable monster. There would be a flash like a blast furnace from the 14-inch guns of the Texas that would lick far out from the ship. Then the yellow brown smoke would cloud out and, with smoke rolling, the concussion and report would hit us, jarring the men’s helmets. It struck your ear like the punch of a heavy, dry glove.”

    Thank you and your helpers for the amazing amount of analysis, scripting, and video editing that went into this D-Day special event! I am looking forward to spending the next few days watching them. I've been reading about D-Day for more than 50 years, but anticipate gleaning new insights from your presentation. I'm only ten minutes into it and already feel like I was there, in this video as a German defense strategist thinking of all the possible invasion scenarios.

    Great job, really makes a difference.
    Only comment, is that you should at least mention all the countries participated in the Allies side.
    Besides US, UK, Canada & French troops, there were 20 more countries taking part in supporting D-Day.
    In total, congrats for this production!

  • @timcox5373
    @timcox5373 Před 2 měsíci

    One of the biggest takeaways from this is debunking the myth that the Nazi war machine was this massive, impenetrable, technologically advanced, force that the Allies were lucky to break through. The reality is that while they were formidable, the Allies were better in tech, better in pre-invasion shenanigans, better in planning, better in HUBRIS, better in leadership (see: hubris as well)
    Wonderful undertaking, thanks so much for this

  • @stephenwilson1200

    What a supreme source to gain a comprehensive knowledge of ALL issues associated with D-day.
    This four part series should be used by all teachers and students who want the ultimate appreciation of how the allies made a success of this crucial component in the victory over Nazi Germany.
    It gives a terrific insight and is very enjoyable.

    When I visited back in the summer of 2018, it felt surreal for a while due to the mismatch between images of June 6 -44 and the present idyllic conditions on Omaha Beach. I guess to those of us who mainly know the place from WW2 history, that's almost inevitable. However, just like your eminent guide, I also found it touching and immensely meaningful to see people there just enjoying life to the full. There wasn't much time, since my group would soon move on, but I coldn't help but insist on a quick swim. I remember the water was warm and very inviting - so unlike that other day long ago.

    Finally finished watching 24 hours of D-Day! I feel like I am behind schedule, like I should have been in Cahn or Cherbourg awhile ago. I agree that those beaches are for the living. The whole reason the war was fought to free and keep free the peoples under the Axis powers. The bunkers to me are a symbol of the struggle. Not as monuments to the fallen, but reminders of the struggles ending in victory. I think if all the bunkers were removed, it removes much of the perspective for the tourist interested in D-Day. Awesome production!!
