The colorization technology for still pictures and movies keeps getting better and better, a far cry from the early ones. Well done!River762
All high school students should be required to read Cornelius Ryan's books The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far and The Last Battle. Compelling, factual and accurate reads on WWII in the European theater.chloé
They were real men who fought for their country and not "migrating' to another one seeking benefits like right now !!!!Shadowlord01Reply tochloé
Uhm, in that war we accepted so many more immigrants in the form of refugees from the shores of France such as from the evacuation of Dunkirk, people immigrating from Poland (it was with Polish help we cracked the enigma code) and other war-torn places. That sounds a lot similar to what we have today (Different shore of France, Calais for example). Back then we gave them benefits, we treated them nicely and integrated them. And look what they did, they helped us win a second world war. If only those real men could see what we are doing to other victims of war now.londonmumReply tochloé
Shadowlord - I've never read so much twaddle . The evacuation of Dunkirk was nothing to do with refugees (is history no longer taught?). The Poles that fled their country did not emigrate - they continued to fight from here (as did 5 other European armies in exile). The refugees from world war 2 cannot be compared with what is happening now. Todays "refugees" are mainly economic migrants - they are not entitled to special treatment.scaleyReply tochloé
dupuis, paris, France, not our migrants, if they are legally in France why are they not registered and integrated into the french way of life?, if they are illegally in France then that is a problem for your country to allow so many illegal immigrates to dictate to your country, control your borders and the poor people of Calais would not have to have their lives destroyedOutOfStepReply tochloé
Kenrules...A typical bile filled low rated comment, not focussing on what history can teach even the dumbest like you. Just the usual whinging, whining rant from a Little Eurolander, who keeps spitting their dummy out because they lost the largest turn out vote ever in the UK. Meanwhile we are forever grateful to all the people in the photos who gave/risked their lives so idiots like you can spout their political rhetoric from the safety of your keyboard.matj50
funniest part is when american troops were forced to march into paris with french flag because de gaulle wanted perception of french troops liberating paris. 80 years later, french very rude to tourists especially americans.MFLReply tomatj50
The French, with one exception, have not been rude to me and I spend about 5 weeks there almost every year. I do try to speak French, for which they forgive me, and try to observe their ways of politeness. I find them very polite and helpful - perhaps because I try to communicate with them their way - it helps.MR413Reply tomatj50
I was in Colleville-sur-Mer last fall,visiting the cemetery as well as the beaches. I found the French to be gracious and friendly. One of the guides was a 20 year old young man who expressed profound gratitude for all that the Allies did for France. He was born some 50 years after D Day,but it didn't matter....the stories he heard from his grandparents made it all very personal to him.matj50Reply tomatj50
I hope its just a Paris thing (went there, an arrogant unhelpful snobbish vibe. To the point of where sometimes you just want to say you should be lucky your not required to speak german or have everyone in city be half german half french). You know its a problem when your tourism board tells its people to try to be nicer to visitors. Dont quote me on it, look on the internet. And No I dont perceive myself as arrogant. Try asking for directions in Paris v. Frankfurt and you'll notice a world of difference. Germans I meet in Dusseldorf and Frankfurt are some of the most pleasant people I ever met, the kind you would want to treat to a gut deutsch bier/ kolsch. I guess Paris soured my views on the French. Will try visit Bordeaux in future.AbbieJ
Could you imagine some of the men in this country today having to go and fight a war. The country would lose on the first day. Plus they would want to make sure they are getting paid, have a full body suit of armour and are allowed daily Skype calls.DB1Reply toAbbieJ
Odd as it may seem AbbieJ this very conclusion was voiced by British Generals before WWI and by British Generals and Veterans before WWII, I imagine it was echoed across the globe but "cometh the hour, cometh the man" when the time came the men fought for and died for freedom May all who perished on whichever sides they fought rest in eternal peace..HenryPTrotter
Back when men were men.. they didnt whine or cry! They packed up their kits and ran into the face of death. No safe spaces or special gender terminology needed!RidgeReply toHenryPTrotter
Glasgow. I can't believe how ignorant and ungrateful you are. Men didn't have a choice, but they got on with it. You'd be too busy trying to find the next Pokemon. Life in the snowflake generation isn't much better. Millions still dying in wars, so what's your wonderful generation doing at the moment?cahser11
For those upset about this the fact that 'only Americans' are seen in the photographs. If you had bothered to read the article, you would learn that an American colorized the pictures, so it stand to reason that he would colorize pictures of Americans. Big deal. It is comical the chip the rest of the world thinks about the US. Get over yourselves.dolphingirl73
Wow! None of the millennials today would be able to deal with this. We've created a generation of spoiled self absorbed kids.Br555
A war that decimated the population of Europe and got them replaced by f i l t h from the Middle East within 50 years.Duncanny
Someone wrote "Americans weren't the only ones landing on that beach. God Bless all the 12 Allied Nations who stood together on that day and landed on the beaches. Australia, Canada, Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, Greece, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States."We all know this but your seemly anti-American comment is misplaced for if you read the story then you'd know these photos were colorized by an American and whose picture they belonged to so naturally they will be highlighting US war efforts. Some people can't hardly wait to try and say something bad about my country which is odd when many of them reside in Europe where we we dragged into two ww's losing hundreds of thousands of young men.DuncannyReply toDuncanny
Btw this is taken from The White.Gov fact sheet.... The Allies landed more than 160,000 troops at Normandy, of which 73,000 were American. There were also 83,115 British and Canadian forces who landed on Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches.By the end of the first day, none of the assault forces had secured their first-day objectives. Allied casualties on June 6 have been estimated at 10,000 killed, wounded, and missing in action: 6,603 Americans, 2,700 British, and 946 Canadians.Rocksman
Americas greatest generation! Not to discount other US serviceman but these guys fought a grueling war.milk_boneReply toRocksman
Americans weren't the only ones landing on that beach. God Bless all the 12 Allied Nations who stood together on that day and landed on the beaches. Australia, Canada, Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, Greece, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Miss Simon Pegg
And as usual, we have to read through snide, asinine comments from jealous European and Australian keyboard warriors, even though this great, talented kid worked hard with dignity on this project. Maybe there were more Americans featured in the photos because he IS an American. You don't think a British kid wouldn't have done the same thing if he did it (featured more British troops instead of other troops from other countries)? It's something called national pride so get over yourselves. By the way he didn't just feature American soldiers, there's German troops shown as well.MFLReply toMiss Simon Pegg
Not only is the young man American and thus would have a focus on US involvement he would only have had access to photographs taken by official US military photographers. I have no doubt that if he were to be asked (or tasked) with doing the same to UK and Canadian pictures he would also do an excellent job.FeddupReply toMiss Simon Pegg
Miss Simon Pegg ===== Yes, but we in Europe & Oz are FED UP of hearing how our 'asses were saved' by the USA. We get it shoved at us over the Internet, newspapers, films and books. We in the UK were the only opposition against the Nasties until 1941 when AH invaded the Soviet Union!. Yes, he has done a good job of 'colorizing' b&w photos - but why did it need to be done and why 'just' the US Forces? There are thousands of British, Commonwealth and Soviet WW2 photos available. BTW - the German soldier illustrated here is Luftwaffe (airforce) who did not wear Feldgrau (field grey).adamtwinReply toMiss Simon Pegg
Feddup - indeed we did save our own 'asses' during the Battle of Britain in 1940. We sent them back, defeated and changing the course of the war, forever. AH turned his attentions elsewhere. Britain could have rested on its laurels and not done anything else..but no, we licked our wounds and went into the he|| that was mainland Europe to help our neighbours in dire need for another two years until US forces started their wave in the summer of 1942.评论
