LRE Foundation
Приєднався 17 тра 2013
In January 2021, the Liberation Route Europe Foundation became LRE Foundation. Along with the new name comes a new visual identity that better represents the core missions of our growing organisation - an inclusive network that connects people and organisations dedicated to preserving and valorising the tangible and intangible cultural heritage related to World War II, its memory and meaning.
In just a few years, the LRE Foundation has gained members in ten European countries and became full-fledged international organisation. Together with our partners, we aim to preserve and to valorise the memory, meaning, and heritage of WWII - making it relevant and accessible to everyone.
The LRE Foundation is the initiator of exciting projects such as Liberation Route Europe and Europe Remembers.

However, a few da...

My Grandfather was in Italy during WWII. He landed at Anzio as a member of The U.S./Canada First Special Service Force (The Black Devil's/Devil's Brigade). He participated in the Breakout from Anzio,The Mussolini Canal,The Gustav Line, The Winter Line, The Battle of Monte La Difensa and The Liberation of Rome.
My grandfather got shot in Holland in this operation wow
Si je comprends bien, la grande majorité des troupes françaises engagées pour la libération de la région étaient d 'origine nord-africaine ??!!
This is what a hero looks like, not a well paid sports star.
My father in law was on gold beach second wave ,but got shot whilst laying wounded by a german at tylee syes ese , he being part of montys desert rats ,where they met their demise at the hands of tank ace group kampen piper , harry is one of those men that had put great into Britain rip harry we will never fotget you and your great generation
A nice way to hike in the Netherlands
When I went there ,so quite no birds airy, you could feel something really bad had happened there.
My late grandfather was a WWII veteran who earned 5 battle stars in the European Theater. He started his trip through continental Europe on Omaha Beach and ended the war in Pilsen, Czech Republic. He was at the liberation of Buchenwald. He also never spoke about it to my mother or her sisters until 40 years later. When I discussed his being there with him, when he was in his late 80s, he broke down into tears. After discussing the horrors, I asked him what was an indication that there was something different near here? His reply was: "The smell." I learned two important things from him: 1. There are horrors that can never be unseen. 2. There is trauma that can never be forgotten. History must be kept alive to prevent the principles of Nazism from taking over again. We all have a commitment to prevent these dark forces from taking over by educating and studying history.
My father was part of the liberation. I still have the pictures of the people incarcerated there. He never talked about the war at all.
et le remenber-tour à ❤Gaza❤ c'est pour quand...? enfoirés !!
We want to walk through the Ardennes next year to see Band of Brothers locations
Very nice video!
Nuts!
I visited Buchenwald in 2016, and you can still feel the weight there, as soon as you step into the camp, a crushing weight comes over you, the weight of a million human souls
I saw an episode on this, it was gut wrenching. how the people were treated. And the townspeople acted dumb when they saw the bodies. There were literal pieces of flesh and human ash raining on them and they did nothing and acted like the didnt know, but they did very well know. And another thing is that we will never know how the entire camp would look like today, because it seems like a lot of it has been torn down, most likely by the SS
you don't know or don't want to know history
and where are the poles and the monte cassino and the market garden?
Belle vidéo, mais il serait bon de mentionner les troupes américaines impliquées. D'autant plus que 8 000 soldats ont été tués lors de la libération de Colmar et de la poche de Colmar.
il serait bon de regarder la vidéo jusqu'à la fin
My great grandfather was a survivor from this camp. He was imprisioned for 5 years and was instructed to not try to leave the camp until the Allied forces arrived because of the mines that were in the surroundings. Seems that after the Nazis left, some prisioners tried to leave the camp on their own and were killed by the mines
I wouldn't want to be camping out in those big deep green hills, and putting up with the elements, NO WAY, orders are orders!
Just like with Pacific Island of Pelelieu , which was to cover General McArthurs (I think) right flank , as he invaded the Phillipines , The Hurtgen Forrest should of been by passed ! These two objectives weren't of any importance except it's cost in lives Axis , Allied. The Hurtgen could of been skipped ,but the USA forces wanted to be macho , and paid for it in nearly 28- 34,000 losses , as did The Nazis too. Nothing was signicantly gained by trying to flush out the Wehrmacht that was very adroitly hunkered in well emplaced defensive positions , and the Same went for Pelelieu . Both operations began in early 9/1944 , with the Hurtgen going on a few mos. more. Casualties were heavy for the USA in both operations , on both sides of the world. The Hurtgen campaign was not meticulously looked @ , and studied. Not one higher up came to Evan take a sneak peek at the situation on Hurtgen , nor on Pelelieu. But our industrial might , and gutsy troops prevailed. In Hurtgen the Americans had @ least 7 well trained IDs fed piecemeal , and were mauled. It was a near blunder. And, there were others around that time. General Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery's Operation Market Garden ( my grandpa was in that w/ the 82nd Airborne Division), the Walcheren Islands around the Dutch/ Belgian Coasts , The Battle For Aachen 9/1944, General Patton getting a bloody nose @ The Battle For Metz around mid- 9/1944, General Patch's 7th Army struggling in The Vosges Mtn's, , and the Pelelieu , Phillipines, and Saipan campaigns , which were bloody. The Allies would prevail due to its manpower and industrial might!
I wish I could have met this lovely man.
These videos are so we'll produced 👍 I just wish I understood French 😄
I want to visit that museum!
Die Berichte der Zeitzeugen sind sehr interessant, allerdings nervt dieses blaue Bild das über 5min eingeblendet ist extrem. Ich schaue es mir nicht zuende an weil das muss heutzutage wirklich nicht mehr sein !
i wish i could have been there with you !
Very interesting! Great work from the ‘On Tour’ team! 🇮🇹
The military cemetery in Vossenack is in a terrible state of neglect. I wonder if this is a deliberate act of the current German authorities, a perverse way of criminalising their own fallen soldiers.
Pour en savoir plus sur la ligne Maginot !
Super découverte de ces lieux de mémoire en Alsace !
Hey! Great video :) Thanks for sharing!
Hey! Great video :) Thanks for sharing!
Great video on the area around Battle of the Scheldt !
I remember visiting all the places shown on the Operation Blackcock videos back in 1997. Myself and my brother accompanied my father (Lt. Terence Chamberlain, 6 Commando) from Normandy to Germany following the routes of his war service. He was the first British soldier over the bridge at Roermond. We mentioned this at a local hotel and the owner introduced us to his father who was a young boy at the time and said he witnessed the first soldiers crossing! He kindly showed us around all the sites and a local historian showed my father the place where his friend had died in the care of the German Paratroops (Lt. Hugo, 6 Commando). altogether an unforgettable experience.
And to realize that Major Ted Hunt was 99 then. What a man.
I hadn't heard the point about Stalin pushing for an invasion of the Riviera. Did he think the Brits and Americans would get tied up in the Alps and leave the whole of Germany to the Soviets?
Wise men those veterans
Delighted to see this - very moving indeed.
The growth of LRE in activities and connecting a diversity of international organisations and enablers that commit to its statement 'we must not forget and celebrate the Freedom' is truly impressive.
The music played on the background is very misplaced. The battle of the Hürtgenwald was not a very happy event was it? Then why play this happy music?
Modern Germany is all about Americanized entertainment. They have moved on from the war.
Ok
Whos the gorgeous guy walking around
Love the guy walking around
Pity your works of remembrance and reconciliation aren't better known. I'm ex pat Northern Irish, married to a northern French Ch'ti (watch the pronunciation!), who lived in Valenciennes, in the Nord-pas-de-Calais (59) for over 8 years, and prised out a few stories of the war and occupation. Now over a year and a half in the SE of Bretagne, in Vannes, Morbihan (56), where things were even more complicated with high participitation in the resistance, both for those who went to the UK, or through the French north African territories, and those who stayed to fight under cover, and those fanitical Breton seperatists who enthusiastically joined the Nazi elite forces, to root out the resistants, Jews, Communists, etc, etc, folornly believing the Nazi propaganda, that they would eventually give Bretagne independent status, finding different and more complicated stories. My wonderful French in-laws who have adopted the Irish nutter as one of their own, and particularly my lovely mother in law (forget the jokes, we are complicit in jokes and games with the others!) have helped me understand the real history of the two world wars, the agony, and risks of resisting the occupiers. Unlike me my mother in law has never forgiven the germans, as they were billeted in her mother's house, and they were the brutal sort. Keep up the great work, unearthing of more personal histories, and forgetting the enmities, and forging amities, for all those who suffered, no matter which side. Faugh a ballagh!
who else came just for the name
Pornhub?
Very decent of the German people to remember both their own and the American losses too.Very decent.
I got my copy of "Prisoners of History" this very week 📚🙏🏿📚 A brilliant book to read.
Great video... From Canada. My Dad was part of the Normandy Landings. Fort Garry Horse
I visited Buchenwald few years ago i think it was 2015. Sad place yet very important one to remember. Weimar as city is full of history too.

Don't people realize it doesn't take much for people to act like animals, the "i was just following orders" is BS, they and the towns people knew what was going on, and they enjoyed it, they are wicked
