    That relationship is the relationship that we should have with the Russians today!!! I hate that there’s so many people in our government that acts like Russia is our enemy and they’re not!! Would America except the Chinese setting up military barracks and infrastructure in fucking Canada or Mexico? No fucking way would they fucking accept that but it’s unreasonable that the Russians don’t want that same threat rate on their border?? I got nothing but love for Russia !!! 🇷🇺 🤝 🇺🇸

    Well, thanks to your grandfather, and to so many others. My grandfather (father-side) was a prisoner in a stalag after the invasion. Never knew his brother, my granduncle, killed by the nazis as he was ordered to attract airplanes fire when they attacked the base he guarded. From Belgium, thanks for the vid.

    The Monuments Men is one of my favorite films, and lead me into researching/learning Nazi-Art Looting for the past five years. The breakdown was fun to watch, but I wish the host was a little bit more knowledgeable and let French gentleman speak more. One example: (28:16) John Goodman, and Jean-Claud Clermont's characters are in Germany (not France) when the Hitler Youth sniper child was shooting at them. The architecture is German, the signs were written in German and this would have been in March of '45.

    Minute 1:18:20 I love the scene. in this scene, we see the essence of Miller as a teacher and not as a military man. The way he talks to his men, the way he guides the conversation always made me think of a teacher talking to his students. "Oh captain my captain" - "death poets society" type of dialogue. Great underrated scene.

    Hello So, I had the pleasure of meeting and caring for one of Spiers Co. D privates in a nursing home. I ask him 2 questions, yes he did shoot a soldier for being drunk AND refusing an Order. That's something you don’t do is refuse an order during battle. And he did shoot those Germans cause they could take prisoners at tge time of D-day and he used a Grease Machine gun and not the Thompson! Currahee

    Years later, after Daniels had again portrayed Joshua Chamberlain at the Battle of Fredericksburg, he found out for the first time that one of his Michigan ancestors had served in the Union Army, at both Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. Having become familiar with the realities of those battles, this knowledge hit him with great force. And his casting in those two films came to have great personal meaning for him.

    About 6000 Dutchman joined the SS. They fought exclusively on the Eastern Front. Post-war they were screened by the Dutch government. Some were sent to prison, all lost their citizenship/civil rights and a few were permitted to join the Netherlands forces fighting to suppress the Indonesian fight for independence. Urban legends have some ex-SS joining the Foreign Legion and fighting in French Indochina. A distant cousin joined the Dutch SS. He was drowned in a canal by his father and uncle before he could depart for the front. To put the level of collaboration into context 125,000 Dutch cycled through the resistance. Only 25,000 serviced the war including members of my family.

    Out of ammo the only option was hand to hand. They took on the charging rebs and drove them back to Richmond as is said in this film. 20th Maine held the hill. The compassion at the end of the scene when Thomas ordered someone to get some water for the Confederate officer was moving as well. As I keep saying, there were no villains in this war. Both fought with honor.

    The batter reflexively raises his arms to protect his head which explains the defensive hit to the left wrist or elbow. It was told by the Pirates Pitcher’s wife that he stated he thought he might end up hitting Jackie because he crowded and lean over the plate. The Pitcher was Lefty and Jackie was Righty. You have to throw across the plate to back him off. Does that sound like an accident? The daughter was 6mo. old when it happened and tries to downplay it, but admits her mom told her about the incident because it was a big deal. Premeditated accident.

    i would argue the Battle of Little Round Top is one of the U.S most important battles, cause if the confederates managed to have broken the 20th Maine, they wpuld have flanked and caused the Union to be in a more less ideal position, possible leading to the Union loosing Gettysburg

    Once again, America is weak just as it was when the attack on Pearl Harbor took place. China is the threat this time, however. If our leaders don't get their act together and build up our military, we are screwed. The way things are right now, we cannot fight China and Russia at the same time. History does have a way of repeating itself.
