Never be a draft dodger

I absolutely respect anyone’s decision to dodging this war from the draft. What an awful and pointless war Vietnam was. The hippies were right about that one.

I know how horrendous this is, but the guy narrating is from Reeves n Mortimer which throws you

We backed the wrong side - corruption was rampant in the South. If you make the wrong call and put Westmoreland with lower-quality troops in charge it will cost you.

A fascinating and good episode

Mongoli number 1

Unpopular opinion :The US shouldn't have been in Vietnam in the first place. Ho chi min admired how the US fought the revolutionary war for independence and hoped they would help but instead backed France who was the colonial occupier of Vietnam. To the Vietnamese, the USA was another colonial force and they saw communism as a way of revolution against colonialism.

My granddad was a Australian POW here I have tried finding info about him its been hard I would like to find more info

I think the stature of the user was the reason the lower limb is shorter

Please don't use AI images, use real ones!

Keep saying T55s but show t34s. Get updated cgi

Sherman crews suffered horrible casualties but America learned a bloody lesson. Introducing the M1 Abrams. Armor Mobility and Firepower juggernaut.

Leider werden die Kämpfe der Amis und Engländer als schwer und heroisch dargestellt was lächerlich war ,denn die Deutschen waren schon fast Ausgeblutet hatten keine Luftwaffe und kaum Material und Soldaten .

Except of the sPzKp Hummel of the Wehrmacht, there were no Tiger I in the Ardennes. So much for the historical value of this video.

Ha ha ha, what about Kursk battle?

Seems like a lot of bother for useless sand and bronze age belief systems.

Archery has been part of Indian warfare for close to 15,000 years or more.

AUstralian military used centurions in vietnam with great effect. fired cannister into the tree lines where the NVA would invariably initiate their attacks. NVA attacks dercreased in Australian army areas of control where armour was used in co-operation with infantry and as suppressing and area denial fire.

The biggest problem for Napoleon was logistics. The Russian commanders got the their logistics right and Napoleon got his wrong. Disrupting French logistics was a central part of Russian strategy. It wasn't just the weather.

An American pilot, Colin "Boots" Lebouttilier, was flying with Brown and witnessed Brown fire a burst into the Baron's cockpit and the plane went down. He saw Brown fire from behind and slightly to the right of the Baron's plane. The examination of the Baron's body showed that the bullet entered behind his right armpit and exited below his left nipple. That was consistent with where Brown fired from. A pilot firing two machine guns from the ideal spot in a dogfight is far more likely to shoot down a plane that people shooting from the ground. When tracers from a fighter are witnessed to have hit the cockpit of a plane right before it goes down, the evidence that the fighter pilot got the kill is very strong. Brown was awarded the kill, by the military, based on the evidence, and that has never changed. There was a PR campaign, nearly a century after the fact to smear Brown but it is based on airbrushing out key facts like what Lebouttillier witnessed and the angle of the bullet wounds being consistent with a shot from behind and to the right rather than up from the ground.

Very nice documentary to watch with those tank scenes, although indeed I think too many commercials. Anyways, the Second World War keeps fascinating me, I'm surprised by how to Germans could do so much with so little. They I think were very tough to fight when they were on the defensive. On the other hand they indeed could not win this war in my opinion. The Russians didn't surrender at breaking point, and like the historian pointed out, whereas the Germans build 25.000 tanks the allies build 200.000.

Saying his name or his party in the comments will get you banned for a day

Neither Sitting Bull nor Crazy Horse outlived Custer by long. Both were killed by the army while in custody....

And the soviets in Poland , murder in Katyn?

Neither Hitler nor the majority of his high command died in 1945, they were welcomed in Argentina and continued training the enemy who stole the election and government from We The People and is now running the United States government. I mean really, with all the support the Nazis had worldwide and millions of loyal followers do you really believe that they would not take advantage of all the help their evil friends were offering them? He and Eva Braun had children and grandchildren who are in high positions right now masterminding the evil that is flooding the world right now. Why do you think they call us Nazis, accuse your adversary of that which you do. YAHWEH ALMIGHTY help us in YESHUA CHRIST'S holy and powerful name.

The largest wars in history have been fought by ants...trillions of deaths and no cease fire in sight...😮

Industrial level war

How absurd , that the Americans and the British would join the Germans suddenly and drive the Russians out of Berlin . Hitler and his inner circle actually did entertain such delusions with disaster staring them in the face .

Lee didn't go into PA in 1862,Jackson died of pneumonia The editing did not match the narration and made it very confusing. Horribly crafted.

Chimps go to war

When Richard the Lionheart got hit with the crossbow bolt he deemed it a good hit and insisted that whoever fired the shot was not to be punished. When Richard died they found the crossbowman and skinned him alive.

How bout that Sherman firefly ?

Very good documentary, but everybody loves quoting that famous Martin Niemüller quote, and I am not surprised to hear it here as well. It is one of those quotes that is highly questionable and suffers from poor logic and shallowness, which instead of clarifying an issue, it reduces it to a slogan-like quality. Niemüller was a man of the cloth, be it a protestant one, and was thus part of a organization that was no stranger to discrimination and violent elimination of opponents. So were the communists. I don't like the lumping in of Jews, Gypsies, conquered peoples, prisoners of war, handicapped minorities and innocent bystanders with political opponents or clergy. The first categories were born this way or forced into it and were not politically active, but the former were traditionally and historically guilty of the same methods as the Nazis, I am not saying that there were no good people in the clergy or on the political left, but let's not lump everybody together,

The man at 38 minutes is excluding the indigenous soldiers who fought just as hard and sometimes harder than the white soldiers. Those communities were oppressed and unappreciated by their governments and underestimated by the military, yet they enlisted and fought a war that they felt was important to them. So I don't believe the ANZACs just wanted to go explore and play cowboys and Indians. They felt a duty to something, whether country, brothers in arms, or freedom of man in general. But I guess this is dated documentary, more recent ones don't take the same attitude.

المان هیتلر فقط وفقط بایستی به شوروی حمله میکرد و شوروی رو به خاک المان اضاف میکرد که از منابع سرشارش تا هزار سال لذت میبرد حمله بی ربط به دانمارک،هلند،انگلیس......کاملا اشتباه بود

I just want to say that ads are the worst thing humans have ever created

Taking lives to save lives doesn't make sense at all.

Washington caused the Seven Years War

One of the better documentaries about the eastern front. The narration is really good.

This is 1942 right? If so i think panzer 4 production is going into full swing. And if that is to be true, the panzer 3 would only be used for Stug 3 G production. As well as "plug the gap" armor. Edit: (Please comment if you can provide more info on this).

He might have been great going after villages filled with woman, children, elderly but when confronted by a real army it showed he was a charlatan.

actually the Canadian sniper uses the McMillan tac 50 rifle,

Bring worthy movies of WW2 , with all who fought in the war & not just a 1-sided movie , too !

Viva Vietnam 🇻🇳 Viva Internacionalismo proletario ⚒️ Viva Ho Chi Mihn.

To win a battle you have to work together ground forces working with air power working together that's how you win a war

From where sirian teritori

For a sec i thought this was a documentary on Trump

The Pershing "must outflank the Panther" to defeat it? Not really. It could penetrate it from long range frontally. But it's tank warfare 101 by 1945 to outflank whenever possible to gain advantage and decrease chances the shot will bounce. Weird how they describe the effective thickness of the Panther frontal armor due to slope, but fail to mention the Pershing's armor slope at all. And they keep referring to the Panther as a medium tank when it was actually a heavy. They like to keep that German "super panzer" mojo going. Lol. And oh yeah, the WW II gyrostabilizer was not well liked by American tank crews (who usually turned it off), and was eliminated on Pershing to make room and save weight. The Pershing scored a hit because the gunner was a good shot.

When you put armor in static defensive positions, you lose the advantage of mobility, & maneuver is the rimary advantage of armor. Perhaps the arab commanders understood their crews were not trained to high standards. The "maneuver " through an "impassable" location gave the Israeli division the element of both surprise combined with manuever. They used their tanks according to armor doctrine.

look up AI transcribes hitler ..... funny how they have never shown subtitles to hitler .look at America, Uk, Ireland,Australia and then look at Weimar germany in 1930 same marxist jewish created mess same communist terrorist antifa . you see all the current crime and immorality and its the same they did to germany and he fixed it all, but hes the baddy not stalin and the 100 ,million dead white russians ?
