The Liberation of a Continent and the Fall of the Nazi Third Reich

Never, never, forget. Thank God for our brave troops, sailors and airmen who brought down the evil regime that was the cause of genocide and death of the cream of a valiant nation numbering many, many, millions. When I see the present state of politics and the wholesale destruction of traditional culture and mores, I ask myself whether the loss in conflict of so many heroes was worth it given the pathetic state of modern society and its thoroughly corrupt, and abominable mores.

This is the reason why every generation MUST stand up and be counted when men such as Putin, head Russian bully boy, start to intimidate our fellow humans. If we don't evil will triumph because good men have remained silent.

This America is gone with the wind. The United States is no longer a democracy and is now run by lawless criminals and degenerates. Persecution is a legitimate instrument of political action and every organ of state has been corrupted to serve the ruling political agenda. In America now political opposition is criminalized with the complicity of the judicial branch. America is off my travel list.

It's a very touching article. A shame we don't have more articles to reflect on those courageous and honorable moments in history that define America and the sacrifices it took for our freedoms today. Thank you...

Comments accusing Ukraine and it's army of being Nazis do dishonor to every American who fought against real Nazi's. As point of fact more Ukrainians died in the Red Army than UK, USA and Canadian KIA in WWII.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." — Ronald Reagan

Personalized D-Day story,
A former Executive officer of Rangers when the program was restarted in Vietnam settled into a serious job after the war and on the side he was the managing editor and owner of Ranger Press.
He was the first to publish Rommel's "Attacks" in English.
He wrote one book I am aware of, "Rudder's Rangers" and their epic D-Day assault on Pointe du Hoc.
The most interesting thing that came out of the publication was derived from art work done in the period by one of the Rangers who made the assault. In the drawing the Ranger drew, was the image of a Ranger dying in his brothers or battle buddies arms. Names were cited in the drawing. A short time after the book was published the daughter of the soldier depicted in death in the drawing reached out to thank him for giving her family closure, they never knew how he met his end, only that he was one of the Rangers who died in the assault. It was comforting to know when he died he was not alone and left somewhere unattended.
God Bless our WWII Vets .

Thank you America on this 6th of June from one who is old enough to have lived through it - luckily not in a Nazi occupied country, though I came close when Rommel was only just over 100 kilometres away at El Alamein and my parents and I were on a short holiday in Stanley Bay in Alexandria.

Communists are not in today's Russia. The German ones moved first to Columbia University after WWI and continued to grow the American Communist Party until it unofficially was well established in the Democratic Party, Communications, Arts, Banking, and Education, etc. After WWII, the Leftists/Communists/Progressives slowly conquered the Blue States through lawfare, getting what they wanted through judges (mere men and women) than through the rule of law (now on life support). Republic Of America wake up and wise up! Just say NO to the Democrat Party until the Party's complete demise. Say NO to Globalism, International communism, International Corporations, Huckster National Debt, and Ukraine. Say YES to honoring our forefathers and our Constitution, fair elections, paying/honoring our debts, 10 year moratorium on all immigration, and closing our borders and expelling all illegal aliens. This just a start. It we can do it!

There are many lessons for the world to learn from WWII: The most educated and technologically advanced nation in the world elected into power a twisted sexual deviant Hitler who was able to lead his nation and their numerous collaborators to commit the most horrendous crimes in history against totally innocent men,women and children from 1933-45: six million Jews were murdered by the German war machine for one reason only-they were Jews. The U.S.S.R. lost 26 million people to the German invaders. The atomic bomb was developed and used against Japan- it can easily end all life on Earth if it will ever be used by major powers in an nuclear exchange. The United Nations was created following WWII with noble thoughts but hollow in actions. WWII raises the question whether humans will survive in the long run as their intellectual capacity is limited and they appear to be guided predominantly by emotions.

Like you, I have walked the beaches and visited the small town of Sainte-Mère-Église where there were replicas of paratroopers on the church. When one stands on the beach and looks up to where the enemy bunkers are, it was hard to imagine the courage it took to climb the cliffs. Those men were true heroes and deserve all the glory afforded them and more.

Despite all the sacrifices of brave men and women over the many years, the USA, and indeed every country today, is faced with even greater horrors than the world was threatened with back in 1944... utter and complete global enslavement of all peoples by global predators via the "Great Reset" through digital technocracy. Their desired New World Order - a One World Government run by them, of course.

Today many Americans are still paying a high price for the loss of our freedom, democracy, our way of life. They sadly have little if any clue. Lives are being pulled away and reduced in many directions.

This begs the question, "Why is the United States supporting the Nazi's in Ukraine today?" I'm no fan of Russia or Communism, but is Russian Communism really any worse than the Communists we have taxing us to death in Washington DC today, or is this Ukraine war just a big power play?

You are correct. And unfortunately communists, globalists and Holocaust deniers are trying to rewrite history using the MSM social media and in particular the brain washing by so-called educational establishments in the west today and a lot of the younger generation are falling for the party line, hook line and sinker.

Never, never, forget. Thank God for our brave troops, sailors and airmen who brought down the evil regime that was the cause of genocide and death of the cream of a valiant nation numbering many, many, millions. When I see the present state of politics and the wholesale destruction of traditional culture and mores, I ask myself whether the loss in conflict of so many heroes was worth it given the pathetic state of modern society and its thoroughly corrupt, and abominable mores.

The real HEROISM of every single man and woman who fought or died has very sadly, evaporated or has not been part of the psyche instilled for the last 30 years into younger Americans. Just as the great leader Eisenhower demanded "nothing less than victory" from his brave troops, so NOW IN 2022, America, with a completely incompetent Biden and his useless generals, should have recognised the threat to Europe and the rest of the world when Russia invaded Ukraine! HOW SAD and TRAGIC that the once great USA has fallen to such depths that it is afraid to confront and to show NO FEAR to another madman threatening the freedoms of all of us, our children & grandchildren. Most of the world has lost its BACKBONE - gone are the days of true leadership, courage, spirit & defiance - as shown by WW2 American generals and the unique Winston Churchill.

Every year we celebrate and remember. But we rarely discuss why.
Nobody wants to discuss history. Nazis are yesterday. The Holocaust butchery that took six million Jews and "undesirables" to their deaths is now routinely denied. Or if remembered is tempored with brainwashed pleas about supposed occupation of Palestine and the mosque that Mohammed never visited.
Today Nazi principles again thrive. The Ukrainian steel factory bombarded this past month shares its name with the Nazi fighting unit; complete with swastikas.
Then there's Islamic ritualized discrimination, violence against women, and pedophilia.
What would those who died so valiantly say to all this?
They would question why they should have bothered.
Freedom, respect, honor, fairness. All of it.
Little has been passed on to successive generations.
Nothing has been cherished.
The world did not learn history. Not from WWII and certainty not from the Crusades.
Whether it's communism, CRT, Islamists, Nazis, slavery, or the bomb.
We are set to relive history. Again. Let's hope this time the good guys win. Again. Somehow.

Great article and so true in many ways. They were the days when people had a sense of duty even though miles from home and loved ones. But in today's world things are so much different. There is no sense of pride in the country or passion for freedom. Today's youth are taught dubious lessons and are based on political or left-wing leanings. A great many US troops gave their lives for the freedoms we have in the world, they saved so many Europeans with their bravery and many died doing so. All their sacrifices are seemingly forgotten and are having the ground they saved virtually given away by the Europeans now. Europe is once again being invaded, but this time slowly and surely, no face to face battles, no honour, just politicians ruining Europe with their naive and reckless approach. Open borders have allowed millions of Muslims to enter without a single shot being fired. The Muslims were welcomed with open arms, they have been fed and housed. Now they have set up enclaves ruled by Sharia, they have set up grooming gangs to rape girls as young as 11 years old. European politicians don't appear to care, they do nothing to stop this encroachment on our civilised society. Soon it will be the US that suffers the same as the European towns and cities. European politicians have ruined everything, they've forgotten those that gave their lives for our freedom, and they now give all of our freedoms away to Islam. I live in Britain and hold all those US troops who gave their lives for a free Europe in high regard, I will never forget.

Thank you for reminding us.
