Camouflage in World War 2 was the first time camouflage was used en masse by all sides. Each side had a different approach to camouflage but it was the Germans who were at the forefront of camouflage development throughout the war. In this episode I take a look at British, German and American camouflage items of uniform, how effective they were and debunk a popular myth surrounding American and German camouflage in Normandy during 1944! #camouflage #history #worldwar2 #ww2wayfinder #bandofbrothers #easycompany #506thpir #alliedassault #dday #normandylandings #normandy #normandie #usarmy #britisharmy #germanarmy Help support the work of Warbird Owners, restorers and Aviation Museums with great, fresh roasted coffee from The Warbird Coffee Company (only available in the UK) https://www.warbirdcoffeecompany.co.uk Please consider supporting the channel at: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WW2Wayfinder?l=de Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ww2wayfinder Follow WW2 Wayfinder On: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WW2Wayfinder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ww2wayfinder/ Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ww2wayfinder Music: https://www.epidemicsound.com

The battle of Foy depicted in Episode 7 of Band of Brothers is one of the most famous of the entire series. The portrayal of Lt Norman Dike and Lt Ronald Speirs has become legendary, but both the book and tv series of Band of Brothers got most of the battle for Foy wrong! They didn't tell the full story or even bother to credit the other elements of the 506th who fought there! Now you can see the full story of the battle for Foy, filmed entirely on location in Foy and the surrounding woods and learn what really took place there on the 13th January 1945! #ww2 #bandofbrothers #wehrmacht #usarmy #101stairborne #breakingpoint #bastogne #ardennes #battleofthebulge #wwii #wwiihistory Help support the work of Warbird Owners, restorers and Aviation Museums with great, fresh roasted coffee from The Warbird Coffee Company https://www.warbirdcoffeecompany.co.uk Please consider supporting the channel at: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WW2Wayfinder?l=de Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ww2wayfinder Follow WW2 Wayfinder On: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WW2Wayfinder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ww2wayfinder/ Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ww2wayfinder Music: https://www.epidemicsound.com

THE GREAT ESCAPE - Filming Locations Then and Now In 1963, Hollywood director John Sturges released The Great Escape, one of the most popular and suspenseful wartime movies. Now, 60 years later, explore some of the film's filming locations with Wayfinder. From the fictional Stalag Luft III to the actual Great Escape escape site, find out how the movie was made and see what it looks like today! The Great Escape - Filming Locations Then and Now 60th Anniversary Special is my tribute to this classic WW2 movie. A firm favourite British Christmas movie, the legendary performances by Richard Attenborough, Donald Pleasence, James Garner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and the one and only Steve McQueen never fail to bring a family together to enjoy this classic tale. Most of the exterior scenes were filmed in and around the small Bavarian town of Füssen in the Allgäu region. Covering 23 filming locations from The Great Escape, this will take you to all the famous locations used in the making of the film and show you what remains and what has changed in the 60 years since its release! The Great Escape was loosely based upon the real escape attempt from Stalgluft III in Poland on the night of the 24th March 1944. It is to those who undertook this audacious escape attempt and all those Prisoners of War who suffered during WW2.

The Battle of Carentan after D-Day was crucial for the linking of the Utah and Omaha Beach Bridgeheads. However, without the capture of strategic locations by the 101st Airborne Division beforehand the link up would have been far harder. The 501st PIR of the 101st Airborne were assigned the task of capturing the key crossing point over the Douve River - La Barquette Lock. The fight for the lock would be key to the capture of Carentan...
