The TF2 scout laughter at the scene of Poland with plunger made me laugh

[@weldonwin]

15:20 The British demand was not simply "Surrender or Die." They gave the French fleet four options. First to join with the British Navy and fight alongside them to free their country. Second, they could take their fleet to America, where they could be interred for the rest oft he conflict and kept out of the hands of either side. Third, the could scuttle their ships, ensuring they couldn't be taken and used by the Germans. Lastly, if they refused all of these options, ONLY THEN would the British sink the French Fleet. The French admiral at Mers El Kabir however, being an arrogant and self-entitled moron, didn't communicate this to his superiors and refused to negotiate with the British, because he felt slighted that the officer the British sent to him (Purely on the basis that this officer spoke fluent French), was only a mere Captain. The British absolutely DID NOT want to attack the French Fleet, but their hand was forced by one imbecile's ego and complete disdain for the lives of his men.

[@redan2883]

11:27 Actually, both Hitler and Churchill considered operation Sealion (naval invasion of England) as impossible to happen. Hitler only ordered it to be prepared to intimidate British and force them to peace talks. Churchill even sent newly formed tank division to Egypt, while the battle of Britain was going on, because he was a former naval oficer and he knew how much absurd this scenario was. Germany just did not have vessels to ship enough soliders and with no experience in full-scale naval invasions it would've probably been a disaster for them.

[@cashisfunsobuythings]

The two hour podcast mentioned world War two for a little over 8 minutes, all of which was just bashing Churchill for being a warmongers moron (a truth, he forced Aussies and Kiwis to march to their death at Galipoli)

[@thanos9447]

@@cashisfunsobuythings First, it was actually more like 20 minutes but I’ll give you that. Second, as for Gallipoli, yes, Gallipoli was a disaster, yes, Churchill bears responsibility for it. However, why is it We only talk about Winston Churchill, and his blunder at Gallipoli when the battle on the western front was so much worse. Here’s an example. Commonwealth soldiers at Gallipoli suffered over 115,000 casualties. (killed and wounded). At the Somme they suffered over 300,000. And at Ypres they suffered over 500,000 yet all we remember is Gallipoli as the big disaster in the First World War. Everyone else wasn’t doing so much better either. The Italians got slaughtered fighting the Austrians. The Austrians got slaughtered, fighting the Russians. The Russians got slaughtered fighting the Germans. The French got slaughtered, and the Germans got slaughtered. It was almost as if no one knew how to fight a war on this scale and we’re learning as they went. So before you label Winston Churchill as the worst officer in the entire First World War You might want to take a look at Field Marshal Douglas Haig, field marshal Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf and general Luigi Cadorna just the name a few. 100 times worse than Churchill.

You really should put more attention on Canada in the Battle of the Atlantic; we were actively fighting a huge percentage of that battle and I think by war’s end we had like the 3rd or 4th largest navy in the world. (Though I admit my patriotism might be muddling my numbers a bit) As well as the BCATP; we trained at least a plurality of the Commonwealth Air Force for much of the war.

So basically they won because of the production and maybe some Yankee help, of course the Soviets played a huge role as well, but the main point is, if they were out producing the Germans on their own, wasn't the armistice, even if later betrayed, more beneficial to the British? The Germans wanted to march East, more west so a tasty with the British cooks be signed for a time being, I still don't get it why didn't they do that if that's more beneficial to them than the enemies

Hey big fan of your videos, but I believe you have a bit of a fallacy at the end there in how you portray the view the US had of the royal navy. The US viewed the UK as a rival until the second world war, and would have prioritized an Atlantic fleet in case of a UK threat. One of the US's primary goals with the Washington Naval treaty was to find a diplomatic way to keep the Royal Navy in check. It wasn't until during the war that the US relationships with the UK and Commonwealth nations became like it is today.
