My Dad,born 1921,joined the RAF in 1941. He was ground crew,recovery of downded and damaged planes of all types,including German planes. Strip down and rebuild and send them out again. Based in Yorkshire for a year then shipped out to Gibraltar in 1943 to back up the North Africa campaign. While in Gibraltar, he had taken a photograph of the airfield from a viewpoint high on the rock. Dad passed away in 2002. In 2008 i took a trip to Gibraltar and found the place where he stood to take that little faded photograph. I lost my composure and the tears rolled down my cheeks. Dad never really spoke much about his experience of war. He got on with his life,got married, and worked all his life and raised 5 children. Good man,i still miss him.

Good men of God back then, they fought for freedom in God and the great nation. But now look at this generation they are fighting for the devil this nation has left God and now worship Satan. They are letting the women be the head of a man, and letting females have relationship with females and also the same with males. NO the Lord God Almighty made the male and the female to be good and fruitful and produce offspring. Fallen Fallen is Babylon The Great. This nation is no longer called "The Great" This nation has left "The Great King of Glory" Jesus the Lord who is the Christ, that came in the flesh at his time and age, and now is in the kingdom of God in heaven in his victorious throne on the right hand side of our Holy heavenly father, Jesus is the truth the way and the life and the only way to be saved from this wicked and adulterous generation is through keeping in repentance in the eyes who him who's eyes are like blazing fire the lord Jesus, asking for mercy and denying yourself/the ways of the flesh and walking with the Lord picking up your cross daily and believing in the Lord Jesus because he is the redeemer, salvation the one I worship. Unlike this nation in this generation is just worshiping money. rather than worshiping money despise it and love the one. I wanted to join the military but surley not in this generation fighting for the wrong freedom and the devil, for greed, control, power, and that women jezebel who calls herself a prophet trying to be the head of the man and the church of Jesus. Christ is the head of the church not her. Wake up men because I am awake!!

Tears in my eyes. My Dad was also a WWII Veteran - US Army. He enlisted but was kept stateside because being an Electrical Engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories he was one of the few who had worked with a new invention called Radar. Aside from that, he didn't talk much about the war. He passed in 2013 at the age of 92. Dear Lord I miss him. God bless all of those men - from both the US and abroad - who put on a uniform in the name of freedom and liberty. 🇺🇲

But on the other hand, they could be right down genuine and compassionate to the people that lived in the country, where they were fighting. My dad would have died of malaria, if it weren’t for his army buddies!! He passed away, of cancer, at the age age of 61. Never talked about it much at all, like most of the military men, I think.

I bet those in the photos could never imagine how peaceful the landscapes would look today. I appreciate how well the photos are lined up from past to present. I see things like this a lot of times and people don't bother to line up the landmarks in the background and such this perfectly. This is well done and VERY moving. Also the music is perfect.

There will always be wars until mankind learns to respect each other and life. But they gave us another chance. A big one. Many, many babies were born after the war because people had hope. The people who were freed from the internment camps were glad we won for sure.

"Made it"? The west is fcked. We are being flooded with illegal immigrants, effectively replacing native populations over time, people pretend to be the opposite gender and use pronouns that are meant for multiple people, kids are being indoctrinated with cultural marxism in school, people are being legally punished for saying mean things on the internet... And that's only the tip of the Eisberg...

Richard Bell, thank you for your war stories. My late husband's father was an air force pilot during WW2, from South Africa. His plane was shot down over Italy and the Resistance group were hiding him, even giving him an Italian name and passport. We still have it and a lot of pictures of pilots etc. in groups in front of their Tiger moth aeroplanes. He even received the Southern Cross medal for bravery, we still have it.

I dont know why.... these pictures... they give me a sense of nostalgia.... as if i was there.... during the war.... i was born in 2009.... I couldn't have been there.... but the nostalgia was so strong as if i knew every one of those soldiers and fought along with them like brother in arms.... It keeps troubling me so i will post it here.... Luxeuil, France. I remember as if I was calling that soldier to catch up in a friendly mocking way. That girl was apparently his little sister or neighbour who admired him a lot. She was there to say goodbye... Waal, Netherlands. I remember as if I was one of the gunners. I had gone to get something... a message? Artillery rounds? I do not remember clearly... but I still felt the rush of the blood through my veins of how I must have felt back then.... Overasselt, Netherlands. I remember as if I was one of the soldiers accompanying the officer who happened to be a good friend and brother in arms.... I was standing behind the cameraman looking at the two of them... Waal, Netherlands. I remember as if i was beside the ATV, resting my hand on the back right side and looking at the soldiers carrying the mines.... Munster, Germany. I remember as if I was one of them... the people below... we were survivors of a battle and were deserted... later a tank of our side commanded by a high ranking commander passed by... we were able to catch up and explain the situation about the enemy advance to the commander....
