WW2 Wayfinder
Великобритания
Добавлен 8 май 2022
Welcome to the WW2 Wayfinder Channel. I have always been fascinated by World War 2 and now I want to share that passion by bringing stories of that conflict to life.
I travel to Normandy, Belgium, Italy and further afield to film the battlefields of WW2 and bring first hand accounts of what took place in the very locations they happened 80 years ago! Filming on location, using aerial photography and original wartime footage in each episode I bring to life locations that normally remain hidden in the history books.
I hope through the channel it keeps the memory of those who fought for freedom alive and provides an educational aspect for those who want to know more about this incredible period of history!

101st on D-DAY: The Most FAMOUS Then & Now
101st on D-DAY: The Most FAMOUS Then & Now
The 101st had a Rendezvous with Destiny in Normandy and thankfully their role in D-Day was captured for all time by men of the US Signal Corps.
One of those photos is especially famous, and possibly one of the most famous photos taken of a 101st paratrooper in Normandy! That is the photo of Wilbur Shanklin, but where was it taken and what events surrounded that location during D-Day and the following days?
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder, I take you to Turqueville, near Sainte Mere Eglise and explain the location, the battle there and the enemy the 101st were facing there!
I hope you enjoy the episode.

Insha Allah soon Palestine will be free, and we can look back like this.
The photo of Eisenhower walking past the wrecked Tiger ll (5:02) is so iconic.
In rare cases you can spot some of the men still wearing the m42 uniform like spears in b.o.b
The Band of Brothers theme was a nice touch.
Your a little off in the adzact location, couple more miles away for sure, the mountain is off
Absolutely brilliant video … my husband and I were in Berchtesgaden last week, where we stayed for the night, so had a meal and a walk around the town as we were visiting the Eagles Nest the next day. It was so interesting to hear everything you said, although we know quite a bit about WW2 we didn’t really know a lot about Berchtesgaden, so thank you.
I cannot fathom what those people went through❤
C’est Juste en bas de chez moi mdrr
I have it in my library!
When I listened and watched AMW (America's Most Wanted), I heard one elderly man who's a witness about when a prowler had stolen one of the medals of honor. Such as, the flying cross, the bronze star, or even the purple heart. Here's what his response was. "The burglar who took one of those medals of honor, he didn't even spend a day in combat." I'l would like to congratulate you just for telling me this. 🎉❤ 🏅 🥈 💜 🥇 🥉 🏅
Truly great stuff here. Thx!
You’re most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. That area inland from the beaches is really worth a visit if you’re able to get to Normandy!
Still some Frenchman are not grateful to the sacrifice of Americans and British soldiers, had not been for them French would have been speaking German by now

Many thanks
This is so sad what were they fighting for? what are we fighting? Why r we killing each for? For those who want power and want to stay up we loose so much. The energy in both pictures r heartbreaking
Preservar é preciso...
Great information.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully helps to clarify those incredible images! Thanks for watching.
Incrível como conseguiram manter a paisagem e a arquitetura original ,depois de tanto tempo e apesar de tanta destruição causada pela guerra. Obrigado por compartilhar.
So many great parts in this movie..
Plus.....Great movie...
Love this.
Thanks! The full episode will be on here on Friday where I look a range of images from the locations around the area where Episode 1 and 3 were filmed!
Supposedly during filming of "The Longest day" in the 1960s they found a sherman buried in sand in shallow water. Since they had a large crew of experienced sherman mechanics and crew members at hand, they simply towed it to the motor pool and drained the water, replaced the gaskets, threw on a coat of paint and fired it up. It became one of the tanks shown in the movie.

Thank you for the work that you do
My pleasure! Hope it helped to expand on these incredible images and provide some context behind them!
@@WW2Wayfinder I've been reading/studying military history since I was 10 [currently 55] and for the last 20 years I've been focusing on the "small" stories like the ones that you give. Keep up the good work!
Love photos like this...
Thank you!
That is so awesome. Perfect then and now! A future must visit. 👏
Thanks Mike. Creully is a wonderful village and Monty had his HQ in a big house just outside of the village there!
Great video thx !!
@@DDDD-pv7fw thank you!
Eski fotoğrafı tam üstüne değil, biraz aşağı koyarsanız aynı anda ikisini birden görebiliriz. 🙏
A British Sherman Crab flail tank moves west past the church in Creully, Normandy, a week after the D-Day Landings on the 6th June 1944. The purpose of the flail was to detonate mines. The metal flails were sacrificial and could be quickly replaced. This technique is still in use today with some NGO’s around the world.
My friend 's brother in law was born in a small Italian village just after WW11 ended His name was Silvio. Silvio's farher saw the Allied planes flying overhead and vowed to move to America. Decades later, there is an old video of Silvio returning to the house he was born in. They grew their own grapes, and had a veranda wirh a brick pizza oven. From the veranda is a set of covered stairs leading up to the bedrooms. The video shows Silvio and his grandma sitting near the stairs on the veranda. It is the same stairs that that the formidable 4'9" grandma stood down several Nazi troops who were pillaging villagers as they made their way by foot back to Germany. During the war, the Nazis were under orders to behead all baby boys born. Grandma saved Silvio that day.😮
Quite amazing !
Thanks! I’ll have the full episode about the locations on here for Friday hopefully!
