It's even worse when you walk the graveyard in collevile-sur-mer next to omaha beach. Walking it yourself in person gives you a true measure of how many lay there. It took me a couple of hours.
Today I live in a free Germany in a democracy and in freedom. Many, many people died for this. We must never forget the terrible price paid for it. We must never forget the guilt my grandparents took on. I have no responsibility for what happened then. I have a responsibility to ensure that something like this never happens again.
Well said sir! Never feel guilty for what Germany did in the past - you are totally blameless! Many, many countries around the world have done things that have caused a lot of suffering!
Living in the free state of Bavaria as a Dutchman, i notice the big difference on the way the Dutch show their gratitude and the importance to preserve our heavily paid freedom we enjoy every day. I think it is because the Dutch who where repressed by Nazi Germany lost their freedom. You have to have been occupied, to appreciate what freedom really means. And when you do, you never forget who gave it to you.
Those gardens of stone are a testament to those brave men willing to sacrifice themselves for their precious principles of what life is worth. And the true testimony that our freedoms come with a very high price and should never be squandered away .RIP brave soldiers of faith
I was there in 2017 and knewI was going to be emotional but wasn't prepared for totally breaking down. It hit me like a ton of bricks what my parent's generation sacrificed for our freedoms. If you can make it to France, Normandy should be first on your list.
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...
My dad and he's friend went there at 17 to visit they ran out of money. they slept in the cemetery, cold night with a tin of beans to eat. A nice French lady gave them some money to come home. He joined the royal navy a few months later and served for 7 years. Got to live a short life and have me as a son, 5th November 2013 r.i.p Dad
I'm a retired RN and was in Normandy in August of 1983 with my family. It was a beautiful sunny, blue clear skies mild day. Perfect weather. We were looking at the information board describing the different beaches and noticed a family of 4 on the beach. Even the car was on the beach. The 2 small children (3-4 years) were running around playing, laughing, giggling and enjoying themselves as only they can do. Mom and dad were talking and eating. What a difference from what we know occurred in June of 1944. I wish everyone had an opportunity to visit there and perhaps realize how precious life really is. Thank you.
Yes - I've been there. No words to describe how you feel when you walk around all these graves. I guess you have to experience it first hand to know what I am talking about. Thanks for posting, Dan
LightningAssault.com we always will. Every may 4. Even though those who lived trough the horrors are few now, new generations honour and remember. To forget is to repeat.
They don't...especially the young ones. There is a Dutch girl who rides her motorcycle and has a fairly popular YT channel. I asked her if she could take us on a tour of the battle sites from Market Garden being that she could not travel due to COVID-19 and her parents live not far away. She never acknowledged the request but a couple of videos later did show some of the battle memorials at Arnhem. She described them as "some battle or something was fought here." Taking for granted the very freedoms she enjoys that others paid for with their lives. Young people today are the worst that have ever been produced. Spoiled and entitled. I immediately unsubscribed from her channel.
For all young heroes who gave their all... "O my God, Thy Trust hath been returned unto Thee. It behooveth Thy grace and Thy bounty that have compassed Thy dominions on earth and in heaven, to vouchsafe unto Thy newly welcomed one Thy gifts and Thy bestowals, and the fruits of the tree of Thy grace! Powerful art Thou to do as Thou willest,.." ~ Baha'i Prayer
My dad served with the 87th Infantry Division and many of those men are buried in this cemetery. Thanks very much for this excellent video and your spectactular cinematography.
Very well done. Thank you for such a high-quality production and for adding yet more to my knowledge about the war my grandfather and great uncle fought in. Cheers from Texas.
This is a strong reminder of the sacrifice of American lives to all of those who scoff at America’s effort in WW11. I am British and I am proud and grateful for that sacrifice.
THANK YOU from child of a WWII waist gunner. I was priviledged to have my father come home and raise his family, but his buddy is lying in a grave in your country. Thanks to the citizens of The Netherlands.
No sir. We should thank your father, his buddy and all the other American, Canadian and British soldiers (plus the nations I forget) for freeing our country. Thank YOU!
Unbelievable place. Sucks the breath right out of your lungs. It's a very different feeling from, say, Arlington National Cemetery. At Colleville, about 80 percent of the men buried there were under 20 years old. The absolute innocence, terror and tragedy of the place, coupled with the way the sun glints across the white crosses, is just absolutely something else. Very, very, very moving
All the death that happened on the beaches of Normandy. To start to free those in many countries that had fallen when Germany invaded them. That all these crosses represent soldiers of the allied countries taking part in this dreadful event. It is a tragedy that current younger people (written in 2024) probably have very little knowledge of the "heavy cost" this invasion created. The crosses represent each soldier that died is so sad. And yet the invasion had to be done to free the countries of Hitler's grip on their land. Wars are very costly and this shows what huge numbers who died in invading Normandy. May this event NEVER be forgotten. Along with the many war's since Normandy as well. GOD has blessed the many who died here. I was in Vietnam and yet the over 58K who died in that conflict were very few in comparison to Normandy.
This place is Margraten cemetery near my home town. Now and then I bring a visit out of respect for our liberators. They paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
@@SkyLynx-Productions Liked it so much...I used some of your clips in my memorial day video I just made, left credit for your video and a link to it to watch as well...great job
It’s funny sometimes as I think about how veterans are treated today that when my dad passed and he was in the army Air Force as a pilot, he died all all that he received was a plaque that came in the mail. That was it. No big 21 gun salute no messages from the military nothing thank you. no thank you when my nephew died he was in Iraq. Want to come to him? No did he get a flag, no? he tried to get help but they just pushed him away. He ended up taking his life, but apparently that was OK. I don’t know why this country doesn’t treat their veterans better they do so much right down to the letter.
Thank you Sky_Lynx: I can see why this had an impact on you. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and nicely put together video. The music ... sounds like one from the Band of Brothers. How can one get a license for the music to use on video as you did? Thanks.
Thank you soldiers for risking your lives for our country and the entire world from those horrible horrible nazis you are not just hero’s your legends thank you
Those of us in the United States can't even imagine the pain of a loss son or daughter, unless you have experienced it yourselves. The son dies...but...the pain never does. Gold Star mothers know...but, what about the Gold Star fathers? Who know their legacy has ended.
Love this footage ! Absolutely beautiful. Is it possible for me to use it in a video i'm making for a song about the great war ? It would be great if i could !
Assuming Humanity survives that long, I wonder what archaeologists in a Thousand or so years will make of sites such as these? Will they, I wonder, be able to understand WHY so many young men and women died for, well, for WHAT?...
Hi there! I was wondering if I could use your amazing footage and would like to speak with you about licensing it for a new Netflix Docu-series. Thanks!
Thank you for your response! Although we love your footage, we are trying to find drone footage of Arlington Cemetery, the tombstones are a little different. However we may need it for other episodes, I will keep in touch! Thank you for making this video, so moving.
A pair, or two pairs of idiots want to ripeat this terribles footages. June, July 2022. I' m so sorry! Thanks, and Rest in God's peace! Blessings from Argentina!😢🇦🇷
Sou brasileiro e me emociono o quanto os americanos foram patriotas!!! Homens que lutaram pelo seu país e pela sua nação. É muito triste mais todos são heróis........
This was an American cemetery, Allied would have been British, Canadian, Polish, French etc. Not a lot of people know that other countries fought for freedom in world war two
It's hard not to think about all the broken hearts and dreams associated with each of those graves.
It's even worse when you walk the graveyard in collevile-sur-mer next to omaha beach. Walking it yourself in person gives you a true measure of how many lay there. It took me a couple of hours.

God bless the families of all those fallen soldiers.......! God bless America....!
Me and my parets visited the Normandie area for a trip based around world war 2. Visiting this place when I was 12 years old was really emotional.
Yes - I've been there. No words to describe how you feel when you walk around all these graves. I guess you have to experience it first hand to know what I am talking about. Thanks for posting, Dan
GOD Bless You All for the Freedom you have provided US!!!!
Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Thank you to all those who lie in these cemeteries. Respect forever.
Wow. What a price was paid for freedom. I'm glad the Dutch people will always appreciate it.
LightningAssault.com we always will. Every may 4. Even though those who lived trough the horrors are few now, new generations honour and remember. To forget is to repeat.
All the best to the Dutch people!
Yes the Dutch remembers it my Wife who is French remember them all the time every June 6th we visit this place
Amen Brother!

I have visited the American cemeteries in Normandy, France. It is the most moving and emotional experience I have ever had.

Nice to see a few had flowers,still being visited by loved ones.
Yes. And also Dutch people adopting graves. We still care. czcams.com/video/KZxHmA5vCEA/video.html

Yeah. I really miss the army right now even after 100 years buy

Love this footage ! Absolutely beautiful. Is it possible for me to use it in a video i'm making for a song about the great war ? It would be great if i could !
Thanks, you guys and gals. I'll see you soon. Keep a place at the table open for me, k? 💝

So what cemetery is it ??
We got the song, the orchestra, the album, but the cemetery unidentified.
The cemetery Normandy American Cemetery.
This was an American cemetery, Allied would have been British, Canadian, Polish, French etc. Not a lot of people know that other countries fought for freedom in world war two
hi Lusumihat
Anybody know where this place..? REST IN PEACE FOR ALL❤
Yes we shouldn't have to hunt for where this place is.....
Visit Normandy and Coleville cemetery there are 11,000 crosses there. It is heartbreaking.
