018 - Stalin’s Unexpected Bedfellows - Soviet Relations in East Asia - WW2 - 29 December 1939

[@WorldWarTwo]

*IMPORTANT POST SCRIPT NOTE:* KZbin age restricted this video, which we find appalling - they also turned off monetisation (but that happens all the time). One of our most important tasks is to reach younger people with deep knowledge about history. While we are aware that some people might find war stories and images of the dead offensive, we cannot bow to that sentiment as it is of utmost important that any story of WW2 also displays the horrors of war. While we are fascinated by military history it is _never_ or goal to glorify armed conflicts, to the contrary. Please help us get this resolved by voicing your opinion in a reply to this comment - we will forward your comments to KZbin. This is the last World War Two video of 2018! We are looking forward to 2019/1940, which will be filled with many improvements, lots and lots of new content, the start of multiple new series within this channel and maybe even our first roadtrips to the real-life battlegrounds of World War Two. We're very gratefull to have you all onboard and even more so to have over 2000 of you supporting us on Patreon and timeghost.tv. What we do would not be possible without you! Have a happy and safe New Years Eve and we'll see you in 2019! Cheers, Joram on behalf of Indy, Spartacus, Astrid, myself and everyone else at TimeGhost! Note: Indy refers to a 'Christmas cribs episode' on the TimeGhost channel at the end of this video, but at the time of shooting this we didn't realize that we were going to do a livestream instead. You can check that out on the TimeGhost channel.

Soviets: boy looks like we're the only ones failing on the offensive in Finland Finns: hold my beer

[@WandererRTF]

It was badly planned, too hastily prepared, horribly executed and far too ambitious attempt. Ironically part of the reason for the attempt was that some of the Finnish leaders feared that the men might become bored if there was nothing going on now that the initial Soviet push had been halted. Some examples of the issues - planning of the attack started on 20th and was approved on 22nd, Soviet air supremacy over the front lines meant that troops could only move at night (so some troops marched 2 nights and attacked without resting), artillery planned for the support didn't even reach the firing positions in time, far too few functional radios, Finnish military had not trained at any level for large scale offensives during the peacetime (so all estimates - like timetables, consumables, communications, taking of the wounded, etc. - were badly off the mark), and also the weather took a turn for the worse as well (for the Finns that is). In the end the attack took place across relatively clear terrain but also one without any major roads. This meant that while there was very little cover from the forests or from other obstacles there also was very little chance of getting AT-guns through the snow. And the Soviets had formed sort of wagon camps of their tanks to protect their infantry in open terrain against which Finns couldn't really do much. Clear terrain made it impossible to approach the camps to use molotov cocktails or satchel charges and there were no way of getting artillery to bombard the camps. Lack of communications meant that instead of coordinated attack the Finnish attack took place as sort of group of engagements by individual battalions.

An interesting character in World War Two from Finland is Lauri Törni/Larry Thorne. He was in the Winter War, Finnish front for Barbarossa, and when Finland sighed a peace treaty in 1944, he joined the Waffen SS (he did not commit war crimes) and after the war he was tried for treason for joining the German Army. He immigrated to the US and joined the Army in 1954, and died in 1965 as a Major in the US Army in South Vietnam in a helicopter crash. He is the subject of “the soldier in 3 armies” by Sabaton.

I get the feeling I'm not supposed to see this preview since it's due to release tomorrow and indeed it says under the title ''hidden'' (or whatever the equivalent is in the English version of YT) and I'm not a part of the Timeghost army. I got here simply by clicking the playlist of liked videos. Just thought to give a heads up :) Oh and thanks for the amazing series, I'll save the video for tomorrow!

OMG!! those.maps. Love this channel, keep up the great work!!

[@michaelfalciglia3138]

KZbin name one good reason why you restricted this video, I guarantee that it won’t be a good answer.

Map is looking beautiful. That tie is looking beautiful. Highlight of my Saturday.

I am a 17 year old historian, and I know this channel does NOT glorify war or death in any way, shape or form. It is important to inform people like me on what happened and why this conflict is so important.

[@Blunderbussy]

As a 17 years old who fought in WW2, I agree.

It's KZbin.

thank you for reminding the Christmas massacre in Wawer (now part of Warsaw).

[@EMM7291]

After watching what you guys did in The Great War, Between Two Wars and World War Two, I felt embarassed that I did not contribute anything other than watching. Anyway Happy New Year to Timeghost team.

Super excited for the Simo Hayha feature!

@Michael Wade - I'm looking forward to that, too! Indy said that a special episode on Simo Hayha will air in January!

Age restricted? SAD! How can you age restrict history this is some of the best history content on KZbin

[@nopenotme6369]

I am reminded of the delicate snow flakes that complain on the 9/11 anniversaries of seeing video images of the attack and its aftermath. “Young people might be triggered, this isn’t safe content.” Its the same mindset that age restricts Time Ghost, God forbid a generation learn from the past and not repeat histories mistakes. Thank you Time Ghost team for all you do, keep perusing excellence.

[@davidwalvoord]

This channel puts history into perspective and sadly that perspective involves violence. It is important that we never forget the horrors and the reasons for these horrors lest we forget and repeat.

[@sirnooblet2793]

Man I wish I could watch this... Is there a way I can watch this somewhere else? I'm really interested in this channel but I'm "too young" to see WWII unfold...

[@stefanoconti4426]

The reality of war and all that it implies should never be censored: good intenntions should always be pondered upon with true wisdom

[@SuperLusername]

Chamberlain''s "Far off place of which we know nothing" speaks volumes to me why USA today is so determined in keeping it's troops in every allied country, no matter how far, no matter how unknown, no matter how small.

[@Oxtocoatl13]

You mean like how they just decided to pull out of Syria and cut their presence in Afganistan in half? I get your point, though. Abandoning your allies is the best way to never get new ones.

[@SuperLusername]

@@Oxtocoatl13 Neither Syria nor Afghanistan are US allies afaik

[@Oxtocoatl13]

@@SuperLusername Assad's regime no, but the Kurds in Syria were crucial US allies in fighting ISIS and the current government in Afganistan didn't even exist before US forces overthrew the Taliban. They certainly depend on US aid to maintain their positions. Without American support, the Kurds stand to be crushed by Turkey, who considers them terrorists and the Taleban are gaining ground in Afganistan. Based on that I would say that the Kurds and the Afghan government consider themselves US allies, though I can't say if the feeling's mutual.

really liked the graphics on the finish front good work

[@dookiestain3591]

Why is this age restricted?

[@GhilleInTheMist13]

Because KZbin

[@MordredViking]

The fact that this is still age restricted is absolutely criminal. Please reconsider, KZbin. This is history, not propaganda or a glorification of violence.

[@Valdagast]

If we fail to teach the young the horrors of war they may become eager for it. Having age restrictions on historical content is absurd.

He butchered Häyhä's name, though. I don't think he knows how to pronounce "y" properly.
