They killed their own soldiers by not giving proper, or no air support and drowning them by prematurely release into deep water. 😥 😔
The footage starting at 0wg5x5WaZPo&t=3m00s 3:00 is of the Canadians at Juno Beach.
Thank god they didn't survive to see what they died for.
The scene that stuck with me was the German soldier trying to dig himself out of the dirt. He wouldn't have succeeded he would have died, lucky the camera was there. It didn't show it but it was obvious they dug him out. He knew it was hopless without help. Some humanity left in the fog of war ✌️☘️
Back when they were ignorant of diversity, inclusion, equity and the overwhelming toxic masculinity. We owe them what we are slowly letting slip out of our society .
Humans never learn their lessons so wars are repeated over over again through centuries.
Why are we being shown this now and on Sky news?
If they had Crystal Balls and could see things now, none of them on either side would have bothered.
They fought for what they had, not what we could have.
They were lied to.
Its 9 minutes and 39 seconds. If only it was 19 minutes and 44 seconds.
...and the British thanked Churchill at wars end by voting him out of office and sending an idiot to Potsdam who gave up half of Europe to Stalin

The soldier on the other side where also ordinary men jusk like on our side.
We are the same, we could do the same.
Meanwhile in today's generation 2023... tiktok, Instagram people spewing 1 second videos inventing social issues that aren't even issues to begin with. Today's generation is a joke.
What a horror!
Great Britain was worth fighting for in those days
Every war is a farce, a nonsensical money making and a sweeping political landscape changing exercise. BUT regardless of how one feels about the politics & motive behind them, these men are absolute heroes, god bless every one of them. True bravery and selflessness. One should be able to approach any obstacle without fear baring these men in mind. Inspirational.
I'm really glad to live in a country without war. A war caused by political leaders with impressive lack of empathy, delusions and thirst for power summons millions of lives to literal hell on earth. If a political leader declares war they should be the first person in the front line by law.
All those lads knowing that they’re about to die. Nothings changed. 😔
I still can't believe how miserable it was planned and commanded, way to many loves were sacrificed just because the shores weren't bombed accurately
