A Military History of the Falklands War Part 2: From San Carlos to Stanley

[@CalTheKiwi1]

@@rafalIL29You’re joking.😂 The woke UK state education system ain’t going to support a syllabus which includes British Forces doing anything so fascist 😂 as protecting sovereign territory. You’re funny.

[@chrisgoblin4857]

@@CalTheKiwi1 I'd argue that's not the case. The Conservatives wanted to give the islands to Argentina as it was a cost not needed in the new broke Britain. It was the ideal of the islander's self determination which ultimately lead to the wide national support in the UK and inside the houses of parliament.

[@kawagonzo6951]

100% of britisg documentaries missing this part UPI ARCHIVES MAY 29, 1988 Lehman says U.S. aid enabled Britain to win Falklands LONDON -- Former Navy Secretary John Lehman disclosed that American military aid given London during the 1982 Falklands war was extensive and said Britain would have lost without it, the BBC-TV confirmed Sunday. 'Britain would have had to have withdrawn from the Falklands' if the United States had cut off the aid, said Lehman, Navy secretary from 1981 to 1987.

Absolutely. Incredible job.

[@edwardgray4693]

By far the most accurate and detailed vodeo on the war. Absolutely first rate. The one aspect thst i would like to have seen more on is the sir galahad incident. There is a wellnknown back story as to why the ship was not unloaded, why it should or should not have remained at anchor who made those decisions etc and i would have liked to have seen thst backstory and those details

[@edl653]

I have seen almost every video out there on the Falklands War. This Part 2 has presented the most detailed discussion of the land warfare "I have ever seen" and included deserved credit to the Argentina troops who fought well under the circumstance. I also don't recall Exocet shore batteries being mentioned in other documentaries to name one of many new facts learned. Outstanding work! - It is my belief that the Falklands are and should remain British and its people deserve to be left free to live their lives in peace. Let's pray that another foolish war of conquest doesn't happens again, as the troops are the ones who suffer and die the blunders of unwise politician.

First of all, thank you for the upload! Second, I've noticed that The Ultimate Guide to Nuclear Weapons was gone from the channel. Is there a chance it's going to be back? It is hands down one of the best documentaries on the history of nuclear weapons. Third, is there a Patreon or something we can donate to? I'd be glad to contribute to the channel.

This is another example of superlative research combined with an enviable capacity for narration.

Yep kinda shocked me tbh.

[@Drummer2020]

As a participant in the Falklands war, I do agree with many of the comments that this is a good depiction of the war as i remember it and better than most unqualified documentaries that reply more on sensation than fact, so well done. My war was aboard the cruise ship [troop ship] Canberra, and I was a medic and POW guard. We also took them home to Argentina after they surrendered and i came back from the war with the most unusual war souvenir , a signed thank you card from the enemy! [Its all in my book called 'The Band That Went To War'.

[@kencone6175]

Really good work, by far the best treatment I've seen of the Falklands War. I'd read a lot of material about the war, but this doc still completely changed some of my views. Pretty amazing how the whole air and sea part of the conflict really came down to a few weapons systems -- two nuclear attack subs, along with Aim9L missiles for the Brits, against the Super Entendard / Exocet combination and Sky Hawk low level bombing for the Argentines. Had the Argentines had more air launched Exocets, and proper fuses for their low level bombs, or had the Brits had fewer Aim9Ls, the outcome could have been entirely different. A truly near run thing. The ground campaign seems much more about traditional skills, where the British elite troops were just better. Thanks for the excellent production.

[@amanwitheyes]

Absolutely superb in every aspect. This should be picked up by a publisher and more photographs added, with some animations and more quotes perhaps. Nothing else should be changed, nothing. That would make one hell of a documentary to watch. Superb.

[@mickmckean7378]

Outstanding work! Incredible level of detail you gave on each phase of the battle, I had no idea there were so m any separate battles to the conflict. I joined the RAAF in Jan'82, this kicked off shortly after. I remember the sinking of the Belgrano, the loss of the Atlantic Conveyor and the fires that routed the RN aluminium ships bombed in harbour. Although it was a relatively small war, some pretty amazing feats were achieved, and appears there was a lot of luck on the British side at times. The loss of the Chinooks on the Conveyor was a massive logistic loss for the foot soldiers. The logistics to carry out the Black Buck raids to put one bomb on the Stanley runway were nothing short of unbelievable. I didn't know they had a Vulcan rip off the refuelling nozzle and have to divert to Brazil. Thanks again for your wonderful research and storytelling, keep the great work coming mate!

No. They suffered from harsh treatment, however moral was relatively fine until the fall back towards Stanley. However when the war ended one of the reasons officers were permitted side arms was for personal defence
