    I too must protest this pixelation or blurring out in certain scenes. History cannot be concealed, it must be shown as it was.
  • @rosslanius8989
    This is interesting. The censorship is disturbing. Why does anyone believe they should decide what I can view?
  • @garymorgan8915
    You shouldn't blur the image,we need to see it, to remember
  • @johnadams5489
    The German Soldiers and the people that were close to the Rhine knew the war was over once they saw the Allies were IN Germany and surrendered instead of putting up a fight. Smart.
  • @asullivan4047
    Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Along with the usual censoring of pictures. Who are they to decide what the viewers can & cannot see.
  • @martintapia9374

  • @swastika27
    very educational documentary.. i love watching this kind of docu learning a lot from history which i never heard from my old school kudos to uploader
  • Please stop blurring out the bodies, people need to see the brutality, so it is understood and not repeated.
  • @akoito1992
    this is good docu film, this worth showing of how war is to learn is all but destruction of mankind and greed of power to mankind
  • Such an excellent and well produced documentary. Most grateful, so please accept my sincere thanks. England, January, 2024.
  • The Army Corps of Engineers quickly built 3 bridges at Ramagen. So even after the bridge failed nothing changed. Nothing could stop the allies.
  • The Greatest Generation who sacrificed so much to keep America free from the evil people who were hell bent to destroy the world for their gain are passing away at a rate of over 1500 souls a day. As of 2024, there remain only 130,000. Respect, accolades are deserved for these brave patriots. Thank you The Greatest Generation.

    There’s a great video on another channel about the bridge at Ramagen. Critical action by a few American soldiers saved the bridge at least long enough for a few thousand soldiers and many tanks could cross. The bridge later collapsed killing a few dozen soldiers and engineers working to repair the bridge. But by then two pontoon bridges had been built. Germans threw everything they had at the bridge but failed.
