[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

The Ardennes Offensive was doomed before its inception. It didn't allow for any delays, relied entirely on inclement weather and for the Allies to actually negotiate. None of which were forthcoming. Even had the offensive actually reached its objective ports, it could not hold those gains or maintain momentum when the skies cleared or the inevitable counterattack came. This was a delusion of Hitler's at best and at worst was a deliberate hastening of his self destructive tendencies that had grown since 1942. If he had any real care for the German Reich he'd have sent those divisions to mobile defense in the East, knowing what hellish revenge the Russians had in mind for the Germans after the horrors of the German Invasion. The Axis had no real hope of victory outside of the Allies negotiating in 1941. From 1942 onward, it was merely a question of 'when' not 'if' the Axis would be ground down to defeat by the overwhelming Allied Industrial, logistical and manpower superiority.

Viktor Horký do you actually know that Hitler believed that if Roosevelt (the american president at the time) died, the americans would surrender? That is why Hitler thought that by invading Ardennes again, the allies would make a peace treaty because of the lack of energy of Roosevelt who faced a lot of casualties in Normandy. He even sent them a letter telling to the americans to ’’surrender to the supreme army of the region’’!

My father Corporal J. R. Voorhees was in the 82nd Airborne Rangers from before D- Day to the end of the war. As I grew up, I watched many old War Movies so we would talk and I would ask him questions (I was born in 1966). He told me about the offensives he was in and even some of the missions he was sent on. By the end of the war he had received many ribbons and also a Silver Star and two Bronze Stars. He and others also received the William Order from the King of the Netherlands(some type of orange braided rope sash/lanyard). After the war, he was notified he was approved for the rank of Sergeant, but had never received the stripes or the official promotion before returning to the USA.

[@enerzise3161]

@some boby Yes, our original family name is Van Voorhees (Dutch), who came to America around 1660. The largest Dutch family in the USA. You can get background on our family and also the generals and politicians from our family. My father's brother named Jack also received a Bronze Star. Van Voorhees means From the ford of Hees. Hees Village, now called Hees is still in the Netherlands in Drenth. Anyone can Google Hees village in Drenth, Netherlands and see it on Google Maps. www.vanvoorhees.org is our family web site. Tidbit: USS Van Voorhis was a Dealey-class destroyer escort, was a ship of the United States Navy named for Lieutenant Commander Bruce Van Voorhis, a naval aviator who was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for action in the Eastern Caroline Islands.

[@daviddudas1031]

Not trying to completely discredit you, but the 82nd weren’t Rangers. They were airborne of course, but being a Ranger would place him in an entirely different unit back then.

[@tvantklooster]

He probably recieved the Williams order from our queen. We haven't had a king from 1890 till 2013;)

[@enerzise3161]

@@daviddudas1031 Your not discrediting anything. I call them 82nd Airborne Rangers because I lived in Columbus Georgia and worked at both Ranger Joe's and the Discount Army Surplus in down town Columbus Georgia. I worked around them as well as others from Ft. Benning for two years and never had any of them tell me the 82nd were not Rangers. One of my family may have told me but I do not remember. So I have called them that about all my life. (Born in 1966). Ranger Joe's was built by my uncle Jack Voorhees and his son Paul Voorhees and a black man named Jody (maybe spelled Jodie). You are the first person in my life (I am in my 50's now) who I know of telling me they are not Rangers. I did not go into the fact that my father was in the 82nd until just before the Battle of the Bulge when he received a transfer to the 101st Airborne (whom I also call Rangers). After googling it, "The 82nd is the US Army's conventional Airborne light infantry Division. U.S. Army Rangers, however, are Airborne Rangers. Part of the 75th Ranger Regiment, they are all Airborne Qualified, but also must pass RASP. ... So, in short, all Rangers are Airborne, but most 82nd are not Rangers.", but I will probably still call them 82nd Airborne Rangers. Technically I was wrong saying he received all his awards and medals as 82nd because some he received as 101st. Maybe nobody corrected me because I was a kid then and they thought it not worth it. Not that it would have mattered to me.

[@daviddudas1031]

@@enerzise3161 I understand. I hope I didn't come off as aggressive, I just thought it was an odd thing to call someone in the 82nd, especially during WWII. But I guarantee no one will think any less of you if you continue to say it the way you have been all these years.

3:47 Oh no, the Germans wont try to attack threw the Ardennes. The terrain is far to difficult for a major assault so we can get away with only a light manning of the line. I mean, what could possibly happen? French high command, in 1940...

[@artificernathaniel3287]

I mean, this time some lightly defended road junctions stalled whole divisions, and the assault failed because of the inability to have roads for fuel trucks to resupply the tanks, so I guess you could argue that perhaps if they attacked on a different part of the line more suitable for tanks they would of done better.

[@thibaultletricheur1884]

Stupid troll, even where there was knowledge there was troll like you. The French HQ believed that Ardennes were not traversable by tanks, not by infantery. There was the heavy terrain. This is perhaps an assumption because the french tanks were more heavy (and more powerfull BTW) and slow than the german tanks. And FYI the Brits bravely run run away in 1940.

[@fullmetalgamers1276]

@@thibaultletricheur1884 It was french and English commands fault for underestimating the germans. Not having a clear battle plan, chain of command, or even communication set up between the armies. The french and english sat on their hands for 6 months. I'm in no way calling them cowards, I'm pointing out the french high command dropped the ball.

[@DanielWW2]

@@artificernathaniel3287 That was because the late 1944 German army was a shadow of its former self in so many ways. They where scraping the bottom of the manpower barrel by taking just about everybody who the German army had rejected previously as unfit and combining them with surviving veterans and every younger recruits. The German infantry was reorganised into the "Volksgrenadier" division organisation. That basically meant reducing the effective manpower on the front-line by around 1/3 from 1939/41 levels. The Germans compensated with more individual firepower, basically more MMG's and mortars. These divisions however lack the manpower levels for a sustained attack. They bleed out fast and once you can't mass enough force in one area as dictated by German military doctrinal thinking, so Clausewitz, then you hardly can be expected to achieve a breakthrough. It doesn't help that both the Americans and British had truly nasty artillery doctrines and capabilities, that where more than capable of obliterating an attacking force while the Germans where still massing for that attack. Further in the German system the panzer divisions formed up in panzer corps, really more combined arms formations designated as "tank formations" had to achieve the breakthrough. Enough problems there as well. The vehicles had gone from fairly reliable and mobile to fuel guzzlers with big guns and heavy armour. The Germans had no fuel for then, nor spare parts nor the capability of recovery broken down vehicles in sufficient numbers. Most German armour seems to have been lost by abandonment, not allied destruction. The 1940 campaign was such a success because the French could not interdict any German troop movements which allowed the Germans to surround and utterly annihilate the French armies one by one. The Luftwaffe who allowed for that where out of everything aside from actual planes by late 1944, somewhat ironic and problematic. Then I suspect the German command also wasn't up to it. In the German army you had two competing schools of thought in this period. The operators with the emphasis on manoeuvre warfare and the attrition commanders who more favoured direct combat and destruction. Model was very much the latter. I doubt he was the right commander for this kind of operation, but pretty much all of the "operators" by this point had been relieved of command and quite a few shot by Hitler after 20th July 1944. This offensive never could have worked. The Germans where probably at least one million man short of actually making it to the sea and destroying 21st army group. Lets not even start again about fuel, the Luftwaffe etc. No, what I wanted to point out is just how stupid it actually was that the Allied completely failed to grasp that the Germans might try something like this and do it right here. By this point the Germans had for years pulled off such attacks, time after time again.

Still suffering the effects of his time in the Russian front, lol.

@@jman12123 my dad was there in St. Vith. I don't think he would like your poor attempt at humor.

[@aidabagirova4933]

By the way, great video! Those who celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe should watch this episode.

[@Kilen_BE]

Nice u cover ww2 occasionaly as well :) Just a remarque, I am from Belgium, the little town St Vith is pronounced Saint Vith. In French St is just the abbreviation of the word Saint... But it’s just a detail I assume 😉

[@CarlosRodriguez-eg1ic]

My grandfather was with the 58th Armored Field Artillery Battalion at Longvilly. It was their stubborn defense and fighting retreat into Bastogne that slowed the Panzer Lehr Division enough to allow the 101st and elements of the 10th Armored to get to the town first. They used M7 Priests in direct fire against German tanks... not what the machines were made for or the men trained for. They lost 29 men killed, 58 wounded, and a lot of vehicles while delaying the Germans. My grandfather was the most stubborn man I've ever known. I can only imagine his comrades were cut from the same cloth.

Yay, the WWII series is back!

Hey Kings and General's team really love your show, i really enjoyed your GoT coverages of some battles, are you planning to cover battles from "the Witcher" series?

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thinking about it. Really worried about spoiling it.

When the commander at bastongne was asked by the germans to surrender after he was encircled, he replied with the word "NUTS"

[@conan11988]

Would love to see a series, similar in its display to this one, about WW1 from start to finish, dont know much about battles and political machinations from that conflict!

[@cyrusthegreat1893]

Well done indeed! 👍🏻

[@cavc94]

I've been watching Band of Brothers for the first time. And watching this after seeing the Bastogne episodes it's the closest thing to PTSD I hope to experience in my life.

[@winniefiattor1088]

The allies were bad in 1940 but with the Americans they advanced so quick I love this channel

[@lukezuzga6460]

This is my favorite time and war I studied at University. This was Brilliantly done cause although a big deal is made about this battle it was futile for the Germans and I believe the video showed that.
