00:00:00İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
00:00:30So far as possible, the editors have made it an account of the really important men in this campaign.
00:00:37I mean the enlisted soldiers, sailors, and airmen that fought through every obstacle to victory.
00:00:44Of course to tell the whole story would take years, but the theme would be the same.
00:00:50Teamwork wins wars.
00:00:53I mean teamwork among nations, services, and men.
00:00:57All the way down the line, from the G.I. and the Tommy to us brass hats.
00:01:05Our enemy in this campaign was strong, resourceful, and cunning.
00:01:10But he made a few mistakes.
00:01:12His greatest blunder was this.
00:01:14He thought he could break up our partnership.
00:01:17But we were welded together by fighting for one great cause.
00:01:22Into one great team.
00:01:24A team in which you were an indispensable and working member.
00:01:29That spirit of free people, working, fighting, and living together in one great cause,
00:01:35has served us well on the Western Front.
00:01:38We in the field pray that that spirit of comradeship will persist forever
00:01:44among the free peoples of the United Nations.
00:01:46We in the field pray that spirit of the U.S.
00:02:16To you who now, living in love and hope,
00:02:23who sense a future in the surrounding air,
00:02:25this testament is offered.
00:02:27Here you may look on the violent fragments of our age
00:02:30and the once thinness of the little thread
00:02:33that made us then the citizens of freedom.
00:02:36For dark was Europe and the face of man when this begins.
00:02:39The nation had gone mad and struck out everywhere the compass knew.
00:02:44The ebb tide of our honor fell away and left its wreckage on a hundred coasts.
00:02:49The German cast his fires about the globe.
00:02:51His strength, drawn from the smoking sour and roar, lay in our weakness.
00:02:56And at last his conquests smoldered behind the barriers of his arms.
00:03:00Along the channel where the sea strikes France
00:03:04stood the west wall of concrete, stone and steel
00:03:07to mock the frail hopes of the petty free.
00:03:10Wounded, hard-pressed and wasted on our strength,
00:03:14almost like madmen then,
00:03:15we planned to breach the wall and smash the German spine.
00:03:20But where?
00:03:21We searched the coast of Europe like fierce eagles.
00:03:24Between low flushing and deep harbored Cherbourg,
00:03:26our eyes sought out the place of the assault.
00:03:30Exits and tidal range marked shallow flushing off.
00:03:33Sand and the wind cancelled the Belgian coast.
00:03:36The North Seine beaches were too small
00:03:38and cliffs barred the approaches.
00:03:41Cote-en-Tin, too narrow.
00:03:42The Pas-de-Calais, heavily defended.
00:03:45It all resolved on Normandy, on Coe.
00:03:49Their planes could land upon the carpet ground.
00:03:51The coast defenses were more light
00:03:53and tides had a good range
00:03:55and men were safe from winds.
00:03:58So on five miles of still unblooded sand,
00:04:01the fretful course of fate
00:04:02would be assailed by armored nations.
00:04:05Now our people bent
00:04:06to the construction of a steel array
00:04:08and took the builders' hammer in their hands.
00:04:11It seemed almost as though the sun stood still
00:04:14till our free peoples, full of rage and power,
00:04:17heaved through the air
00:04:17the ponderous spear of war.
00:04:19This is our people's story
00:04:22in their words.
00:04:24I suppose
00:04:39if the Battle of the North Atlantic
00:04:42hadn't gone right,
00:04:44things might have been
00:04:46considerably different.
00:04:48That was an ugly time for all of us.
00:04:50Merchant ships, naval escort,
00:04:52air patrol.
00:04:54I guess I had my share of bad luck.
00:04:57I lost three ships
00:04:58and some good friends.
00:05:00I remember reading somewhere
00:05:16that when a seagull comes down
00:05:18on a patch of oil,
00:05:19its feathers stick together
00:05:20and it can't get off the water again.
00:05:23There must have been a lot of dead seagulls
00:05:25around the North Atlantic.
00:05:26Of course,
00:05:28we only saw it happening on the wall map
00:05:30and yet it was,
00:05:32well, quite real.
00:05:34When I started there,
00:05:35those markers we used
00:05:36reminded me of toys
00:05:37out of some children's game.
00:05:39But soon they became U-boats
00:05:40and ships carrying cargoes,
00:05:42food and supplies
00:05:43and weapons
00:05:44and men to use them.
00:05:46I remember coming over,
00:05:52the worst thing about the trip was
00:05:53you didn't know
00:05:54where you were going.
00:05:55Wherever it was,
00:05:56you'd be a stranger
00:05:56and nobody likes that.
00:05:59That ship was loaded
00:05:59from stem to stern
00:06:01with sad sex.
00:06:03Around the third day out,
00:06:04things got pally,
00:06:05like the fella said
00:06:06we're all in the same boat.
00:06:08A comic.
00:06:09Finally we got to Liverpool.
00:06:13They had a band to play us in,
00:06:15an English army band
00:06:16full of chimes.
00:06:17I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
00:06:19they played.
00:06:20To tell you the truth,
00:06:21it was pretty corny.
00:06:22But nobody said anything
00:06:23because, well, you know,
00:06:25it was a nice gesture.
00:06:29Funny thing.
00:06:31On the way over,
00:06:31you felt like you were
00:06:32the whole works.
00:06:33You couldn't help it.
00:06:34But then,
00:06:36all over the UK,
00:06:37you'd see things
00:06:38that made you begin
00:06:38to realize
00:06:39you were just part
00:06:40of a big proposition.
00:06:42All kinds of things.
00:06:43of the UK.

00:22:40Nicmeleriniz için teşekkür ederim.
00:22:42Muha olaz?
00:22:44Belki güzel glutlük parçalar,
00:22:47da elde çalışmaların ziyaret.
00:22:50Teşekkürler.
00:22:52Olurma bir soruno kadar...
00:22:54İnence, bir sorun var ya!
00:22:56Bir şey hikaye.
00:23:00Bir sonraki bir süredir,
00:23:03ama diğer ülkelerden daha iyi oldu,
00:23:06daha fazla çalışmalıydı.
00:23:08Bir sonraki başkalarımız var,
00:23:11ve yine devam ediyoruz.
00:23:14Bir sonraki başkalarımız var.
00:23:19Bir sonraki başkalarımız var.
00:23:23Bir sonraki başkalarımız var.
00:23:27So they paved the beaches with their blood and lurched across the dunes and reached the roads.
00:23:32The German parried fiercely.
00:23:34In the depths of rich green pasty of Normandy, the three airborne divisions, first of all to land,
00:23:38fought lion-like against most grievous odds.
00:23:41And loud across the cratered face of France came German reinforcements.
00:23:45From Berlin, a voice cried out,
00:23:46The Allies must be hurled into the sea before another day had burned its hole in history.
00:23:51Locked in battle, the armies clashed.
00:23:53Our first objective, then, was to merge all the beachheads into one,
00:23:57and fifty miles of men drive on together beyond the red sands through the broken wall.
00:24:11Where I was, it wasn't too bad getting ashore.
00:24:14After that, it started.
00:24:15We had to fight for every bloody field.
00:24:18It was the same each time.
00:24:19You'd crawl under your belly, keeping your backside down like you'd been told,
00:24:24chuck in a few hand grenades, then rush them.
00:24:26Sometimes they killed us, but we were killing more of them.
00:24:30The trickiest part was the farms.
00:24:33They were regular little jerry fortresses.
00:24:35If we couldn't manage them on our own, then we'd have to wait while the company commander called back for artillery support.
00:24:41The Navy was still with us, too, chucking in shells ahead of us.
00:24:46In three days, we advanced seven miles.
00:24:48Then we were told to stand fast and dig in.
00:24:51Next morning, we heard the news.
00:24:54We got it from the BBC.
00:24:55It sounded great.
00:24:57We'd joined up all along the bridgehead.
00:24:59There was a solid line, 45 miles of it.
00:25:02We'd got a foothold.
00:25:04We were in.
00:25:04We didn't have to do much navigating to get there.
00:25:25They just followed the convoys.
00:25:28I was doing close support.
00:25:30We waited around, and then the ground troops would whistle us out and told us about some hand target they wanted removed, and then in we'd go.
00:25:37We were like taxis on a cab ring.
00:25:52There's something nice about a beach.
00:25:54Any beach.
00:25:55You think of a beach, and chances are you'll remember something nice.
00:25:58Like a party or a picnic.
00:26:01Pals from the old days.
00:26:02Girls in bathing suits.
00:26:03But the one I worked, Utah, looked more like a freight yard once we got going.
00:26:09For quite a while, we brought more supplies right over the open beach.
00:26:12Like we'd practiced it, and like we'd made up as we went along.
00:26:16We worked a 24-hour shift.
00:26:18Ducks, lights, rats, rowboats, all sorts of Rube Goldbergs.
00:26:22The stuff just kept pouring in.
00:26:24Tanks, trucks, food, ammo, guys.
00:26:27Millions of things.
00:26:28We didn't think we'd spend 15 days in the same field outside Kong, with the wood behind us and the germs in another wood half a mile in front of us, and a little empty valley in between.
00:26:44Each side mortarin' each other all the time.
00:26:49Just meant you had to live in a slit trench, and you got into a routine.
00:26:54You know, stand-through from half past four to half past five, and two hours wait for breakfast.
00:27:01Came up fairly hot.
00:27:04Tin baitin' or sausage, tea, and of course, biscuits.
00:27:08We've been livin' on compo food since D-Day.
00:27:12It's good food, but...
00:27:15Well, you know, you got tired of it.
00:27:18I'd have given a lot for a slice of fresh bread and butter, or a cup of fresh tea.
00:27:23Fifteen days is a long time to stay in one place and be mortared.
00:27:27Yet so you think everyone's comin' straight for you.
00:27:38I can remember every case we ever had, especially the first one.
00:27:56The ambulance brought him in late one afternoon.
00:28:00I came over to where he was lying, and he looked up and grinned.
00:28:04I asked him how he felt.
00:28:05He said something about the German with a machine pistol, using him for a dartboard.
00:28:12He was quiet and patient and a little bewildered.
00:28:15He'd never been hurt before.
00:28:17He asked how the fighting was going, and then he passed out.
00:28:21The doctor came over and looked at his wounds, and then swore.
00:28:25Said he had no business to be alive.
00:28:28We put him on the operating table and did what we could.
00:28:32The doctor kept swearing all the time he was operating.
00:28:35We couldn't stop the bleeding.
00:28:38I remember the radio news that night.
00:28:40They said the casualties had been surprisingly light.
00:28:43They said the whole thing was dear old Winston's idea.
00:28:57A collapsible, prefabricated harbour, with everything on it except a naffy.
00:29:01Well, I wouldn't put it past him.
00:29:03It's the sort of idea he would have.
00:29:04Worked in the end.
00:29:06Mulberry, they called it.
00:29:07Well, I felt pretty good about it because I'd watched it grow right from the sinking of the first ships for the outer breakwater.
00:29:14And further along to the west, the Yanks had brought one over too.
00:29:17Then on D plus 13, I think it was, an onshore wind started up.
00:29:25Not much at first, but it got worse.
00:29:28Unloading onto the open beaches got very tricky.
00:29:31We heard that over on the Yanks section, the other harbour had been put right out of action.
00:29:36And when the wind dropped, old Mulberry looked pretty sick.
00:29:40And up to that time, it was the only bleeding harbour we had.
00:29:47At the green tip of Normandy, the town of Cherbourg made a harbour for supplies.
00:29:52Our need for ports was vital as our breath.
00:29:54The German knew our lack and swiftly drew his forces into tight defensive groups so to contest the issue.
00:30:00All our plans turned upon Cherbourg.
00:30:02All our strategy waited upon its empty docks and piers.
00:30:05So the Americans, sent all across Normandy to the coast, swung toward the north, impatient for the port.
00:30:11Through hedge and field, they carved their heavy way.
00:30:14You remember back now when it seems like we took Cherbourg a couple of days after we hit the beach?
00:30:36Actually, it took 19 days to cover 30 miles.
00:30:3930 miles and about 92,000 hedgerows and a battle at every hedgerow.
00:30:44Otherwise, it was a nice country, like Connecticut.
00:30:47Pretty trees and orchards, lots of cows and nice little farmhouses.
00:30:50The apples were too green to eat, I remember.
00:30:53We hit it off fine with the people.
00:30:55Farmers, nice people.
00:30:58It got tougher when we pulled up on the outskirts of Cherbourg.
00:31:00They had great defences.
00:31:02And the artillery really carried the ball.
00:31:04For three days, we sucked it to them.
00:31:07Sometimes we were pouring in at point-blank range over open sites.
00:31:10Finally, old von Schlieben, the German commander, tossed in the sponge.
00:31:17That's after telling his men to fight to the dead.
00:31:20We took Cherbourg on June 25th.
00:31:23Everything was rosy except the harbor we come from.
00:31:26The Jerrys had really smeared that harbor.
00:31:29But right away, our guys went to work cleaning it up.
00:31:32And the way they tore into it, you could see that pretty soon it would be working for us fine.
00:31:37Then, well, we fought our way up.
00:31:40On the peninsula, now we'd have to fight our way out of it.
00:31:48And everywhere inside France, we men of the Maquis were fighting, too.
00:31:53I was in the north myself.
00:31:55We cut telephone and telegraph and high-tension lines.
00:31:59And eventually, when the Allies landed, we fought in the open.
00:32:02In the Savoie Mountains, our friends held up German convoyers.
00:32:07Well, it was a little easier in the mountains.
00:32:10Bosch reinforcements were delayed for many days.
00:32:13Factories and bridges would frequently disappear.
00:32:17But the price we paid for it was frightful.
00:32:22In the village of Oradour alone, the Germans slaughtered 1,100 out of the 1,200 population.
00:32:30And the place was completely burned.
00:32:33They were accused to have ambushed German troops.
00:32:37Every house was destroyed.
00:32:40Women and children died in flames in the church where they had been locked.
00:32:44Yes, the price we paid was very great.
00:32:49But our job was done.
00:32:51Corr is a town through which the easy on ripples its slow way to the waiting sea, capital of Normandy.
00:33:01And here the British struck a stone wall of Germans.
00:33:05This was no Cherbourg advance, a knife thrust through the fields,
00:33:09but rather was the grinding of a drill, inch by inch forward.
00:33:12Here it was, the German feared a quick breakthrough to the River Seine.
00:33:16And here it was, he massed his army's best.
00:33:18Ten of the twelve divisions of his armour.
00:33:20Paratroops, SS men, the young, the cruel, against the veterans of Alamein.
00:33:25We wanted him to fight here and to hold the battered ground
00:33:28because the future plans depended on him standing where he was.
00:33:32At Corr, the dust was diamonds.
00:33:34Every foot of ground was priceless.
00:33:36For by midmost summer, Corr was to be the pivot of the war.
00:33:40Corr was to be the pivot of the war.
00:34:06Corr was to be the pivot of the war.
00:34:36Corr was the first decent-sized town we had taken,
00:34:53but there wasn't any celebration because we knew nothing had been settled.
00:34:57Jerry was as strong as ever.
00:34:59One of the men said,
00:35:00God, are we going to have to go right across the world doing this to beat him?
00:35:03because most of Corr was dust, just plain dust.
00:35:08I wondered what Hamilton back home in Canada would look like after a beating like that.
00:35:13Well, anyway, our tanks and the British started massing and moved south out of the city.
00:35:17We knew there was a big dew coming up.
00:35:19The show for us began south of Kong, where the Poles joined up with us.
00:35:29When we began moving forward, I heard a lot of the lads say,
00:35:32Rommel's on the run.
00:35:34But I'd been at Alamin.
00:35:36I knew he wasn't on the run.
00:35:37And I was right.
00:35:38There was nothing lovely about the battle south of Kong.
00:35:42No pincer movements, no outflanking, no nothing like that.
00:35:45Just an hard, bitter, bloody slogging match.
00:35:48We had to stay there and give as good as we got,
00:35:50even if we couldn't give better.
00:35:52Beyond the rubble and the dust of Corr,
00:36:20the Empire troops kept up their endless pressure.
00:36:22The German did not dare to disengage,
00:36:24but fought with all his cunning and his strength,
00:36:27still unaware of what we'd planned for him.
00:36:29West by St. Lowe, the base of his defense,
00:36:32Americans were poised and bent to fire an armored arrow
00:36:35that would set alight the flame of freedom through the whole of France.
00:36:38But till St. Lowe was seized, the arrow waited.
00:36:50West by St. Lowe was seized by the shape of Pist produção.
00:36:54South by St. Lowe...
00:36:55East by St. Lowe was seized,
00:36:56West by the state of victory in two days...
00:36:58West by St. Lowe thețiów.
00:37:00West by St. Lowe it first also had some power movement through the Azeroth.
00:37:02West by St. Lowe, the Blue was seized,
