Best line ever heard about WW2 3:01 "or the peasants referes this as blitzkrieg" 😂😂😂

Where there squads with other compositions such as flamethrowers, antitank weapons, mortars, assault rifles etc?

"Between August 9 and 12, 1941, before America entered the war, President Roosevelt met with Churchill on board the British battleship Prince of Wales anchored off Argentia, Newfoundland. Together they drafted the Atlantic Charter setting out their aims for war and peace. U.S. Navy involvement in the ongoing Battle of the Atlantic was also discussed. The U.S. Navy was already involved in escorting convoys of war material across the Atlantic to Britain, an act of war according to the international rules of war, but after the Newfoundland meeting, the U.S. Navy began actively confronting German submarines. By now, the U.S. was already in an undeclared, de facto war with Germany; a war Germany did not bring about, did not want, and a war which Germany desperately tried to avoid. But Roosevelt wanted to be all the way in against Germany and that would require a Congressional declaration of war, though, so far, Germany had managed to avoid providing a pretext for that. Germany had entered into a Tripartite Agreement with Italy and Japan, one of the terms of which was that if one of its members were to wind up in a war, then all three would be in the war. Since Roosevelt was unsuccessful in provoking the Germans into a war, he turned his attention to Japan. By provoking a war with Japan, he would then have the war he wanted with Germany. Both Joseph E. Persico, in his book, “Roosevelt’s Secret War,” and Robert B. Stinnett, in his book, “Day of Deceit,” prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, based on years of research of scores of previously classified documents, that Roosevelt provoked the Japanese into attacking our fleet in Hawaii, but also that he refused to warn the commanders in Hawaii of the impending Japanese attack, though he knew precisely when and in what force the attack would come. After the Japanese attack, public opinion swung from strongly against, to strongly in favor of war."

You could always depend on ARTY. Call in a fire mission and they'd open up with those 198's. Problem solved!

Regarding German Aces......another contributing factor was that early war air kills counted towards those kill counts. And in the early war Bf-109's and Zero's were going up against WWI Bi-planes.....

As a chef, this movie was fun, but i knew it wasnt historically accurate because i have common sense.

In his masterwork , The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William L. Shirer made it clear that the German Volk were not enthusiastic about starting another world war in 1939. If they could have foreseen these casualty figures, much less the coming destruction and occupation of their homeland, perhaps there would have been no war. United States citizens today might do well to consider this history, if they are able to understand it.

This movie is like eating the egg after jon bernthal licked it

Germans had the best tanks for sure, but in war the numbers decide and the soviet could produce a lot more with the help of the allies. The german tigers were also not reliable, the biggest problem in my opinion. Nice to watch and great power but its nothing worth if it leaves you on the road.

So one question remains ...who s feeling guilty for betraying your brother's and allowing the enemies to rule the world (line they do now ...kabbalustic babyeating demoralising satanists and marxusts)...???

I was here in September!

The video is good but doesn't really answer my question of what exactly goes into a war and how a winner is determined? Like if you just get a band of guys together and go blow shit up, that's not war that's terrorism. So when is it officially war? When both sides agree? Does it start teetering on terrorism again when you break Geneva conventions? This is starting to sound more and more like a sport than a war with rules and regulations

The 122mm gun isn't going to be that good against infantry, at least in comparison to other weapons like the 120mm mortar the Soviets had which had the same fill weight of explosives and could shoot far faster. Also, the high velocity of the 122mm gun meant rounds would tend to hit the ground almost perpendicular to the surface, burying more of the round in the soil and all the fragments radially emitted upwards and downward go into the sky or ground. A mortar round lands more perpendicular to the ground.

The " Wespe " compares with the " Priest" . The " Hummel " compares with the " Long Tom " .

In the Wehrmacht many KIA's were among foreign volunteerrs (Ukraine, Russians, Croatians, Slovaks, Scandinavian, Dutch, Belgian, French etc) about 200.000

All those numbers are fawlty since Rudiger Overmans did a statistical extrapolation based on known numbers, but frontsituations ore probability were not taken into account.

12:07💀🤣💀

Even if that one incident described at Kursk really did happen as it was described, that's clearly an act of desperation done only after all other means of fighting were gone. So not a standard tactical maneuver by any stretch of the imagination.

Hopefully Jagdtiger in fort Sill being fully restored into intact condition , and if can into running condition

I know that the Operation Bagration, the soviet offensive that destroyed the entire army group center and North who were experimented regimend who were active since the beggining of the war, , making pockets of hundred thousand of elite troops similar to the one yhe Germans made at the beginning. This military defeat destroyed German army and would cause the drafting of inexperienced nazi youth and Volksturm to fill the gap

As well as a lack of radios, French tanks were compromised by a design decision. They had one man turrets, wchih meant that the commander had to fight the tank, observe for targets, load and fire them main gun and the coaxial machine gun. If he was a troop commander, he had to coordinate his other tanks too. This overkoad meant it was hard to fight in these tanks effectively. At the same time, the Panzer 2 had a 'one-and-a half' man turret, where the radio operatior could help load the gun amd the Panzer 3 had a three man turret.

Lens lease is trumped up way too much

Excellent Analysis!

Quiz Injured people ?

I am here from the future! It got crazier!

Funny how . Germany is responsible for the mass immigration issues we have now

your English is terrible...

It’s a movie… wtf?

Three words, The Morganfal plan

well done, very well done. You just should have mentioned the golden star (1815 to Blücher, 1918 to Hindenburg) as well

How many of them were actually german? Considering how many other nationalities fought in the wehrmacht

Lafayette Green Pool turned your ancestors into hamburger lol "In the Mood" was always in the mood to mash up a kraut

Modern Liberal leftist Germans don't understand. They were fighting for their country people and Fuhrer.

Fury is U-571 with tracks.

Because he was an enormous idiot, a Junkie, a psychotic paranoid and the epitome of delusional and psychopatic being. Methamfetamin messed with his deeply disturbed and awfull, underdevelopped mind. He was a total, complete fool. A pathetic human being, as were the whole chiefs of the nazi party ( Look at Himmler, or Hess, for example. They called themselves the superior race : How delusional could they may be ? ) .

Anyone wanting to get a thorough view of Hitler's attitudes towards the United States should remember that he had, at least during his youth, spent time reading Karl May's novels, some of which take place in America. So, one should take Karl May's novels as the foundation that Hitler used to build his conception of America. Some might think that this is ludicrous but the historian Gerhard Weinberg, who discovered Hitler's Second Book, gave a lecture once in which he asserted that the German/Austrian educational establishment was woefully ignorant of the United States. Which makes sense because young German scholars, specializing in the English language before the Cold War would have found the history and culture of England more interesting than that of the United States. But during the Cold War and after, this interest would shift to North America, now home to the most prestigious English-speaking power.

Survival rate of the ghetto rebels: 0.5%.

Scrolls down...... scrolls backup.....yup, still amateurs at armchair tactics. 😂

Great video

Idiots

A bit the same with Ukrainians now. They also support the nazi groups and suffering huge losses. War is hell

The Real major Flaw in the MG34 and MG42 Bipod that You Failed to mention is it Only comes in One Color. It does not at all go with My White Assault Tux.

Manstein’s plan defeated France in 6 weeks time. He also did some remarkable work on the Eastern front. Guderian’s tactical idea, the motorized armored unit made trench warfare archaic - he invented lightening or Blitzkrieg (warfare). Germany had quite few really good generals in WWII, but these are the one’s that stand out to me. All of them are negated by Hitler. Had Hitler not invaded Russia, he could have sent a 3rd of the number of men used in Barbarossa to break thru to Cairo, Suez, Palestine and Iraq in a fortnight, gaining Middle East Oil and turning the Mediterranean Sea into Fascist Lake, and then declared he was done and waiting for the British to sign an armistice - by September 1941. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, a Germany no longer fighting any wars would not have had to declare war on the US & the US would have never declared war on an already victorious Germany. Hitler could have taken whatever Lebensroom he wanted from the Czechs, Poles, Slovaks, and Yugoslavians and ship their native populations to NorthWest Africa to farm the land there (under used/developed/populated since the Arabs conquered it in the 8th century because they were more pastoral than they were farmers like the Romans who had lived there before the Arabs arrived).

Including civilians deaths from carpet bombing campaign, famine, ilnesses, displacement of more than 12 millions german people from Poland, Czech, and every eastern state of Europe, the total death toll for nazi Germany is considered to be between 9 and 10 millions death. Lesson learned, forever.

Ive said it several times. This movie is pretty bad. Well shot and acted, but history wise is bad. Like, really bad

The best german general probably was killed in action and the the very next one before him was taken prissioner and the very last best of them ranway or avoid surrender to the soviets and started a brand new career job as a NATO advisor, or just went around africa doing cold war tomfoolery, that's my best guess right now

Another thing he might have added was that the Germans constantly overrated their own capabilities and underrated those of the British, who more honestly addressed their shortcomings and began to win battles more consistently as the war continued. German reports repeatedly misjudged the effectiveness of the Spitfire and Hurricane, as well as that of British tanks like the Churchill, missing important factors beyond the pure numbers. That is, that the British used their weaponry to great effect, through unmatched capabilities in intelligence gathering, highly tactical manoeuvring in the field, and early combined arms and CAS innovations. They also took advantage of German failures that the Germans themselves overlooked: Panthers and Tigers were plagued with their own quality control issues, broke down frequently and were abandoned en masse (as were the Russian T-34s), were often built of poor quality metals, and had even worse logistical support (so often ran short of fuel). Leveraging on this intelligence, the British struck back with increasingly effective raids and counterattacks in North Africa and the Mediterranean. Later versions of the Churchill, for their part, were critical in breaking through the beach defences in Normandy -- including both the AVRE and flamethrowing versions to clear bunkers and machine-gun nests.

"Liberated" you mean countries you forced to become puppet states with no religious rights?

Lol. Imagine defending the country that invaded ukraine

I think they knew that what waited for them on the Russian side of the table wasn't mercy
