And the biz was a terribly inefficient design. For less displacement the US made a battleship that was 20% faster with bigger guns (the Iowa class). And while the North Carolina's (contemporary of the Biz and Tirp) were slightly slower, they still had bigger guns, had a heavier broadside all at a a lower displacement. The Biz wasn't the wunderwaffe it was touted as. Fearsome, yes, but far from un-matched.

[@NewtypeCommander]

The IJN already had the Nagato-class and were well into building the Yamato-class, the French had built the Richelieu-class which while having the same broadside weight and top speed had a much better protection scheme, the Regia Marina had built the Littorio-class, the Brits built the Nelson-class and were planning on building the Lion-class, and the Americans had the 2 North Carolinas, the 4 South Dakotas, the 4 Iowas, and were planning to build 5 Montana-class battleships.

[@aaronator4d633]

9:07 just want to add this even though it’ll probably get buried but Britain had been actively using their own fighter jets to defend the skies from V1 rockets strikes at the end of the war and was the reason the USA started researching jets as the USAAF saw it as a waste of resources compared to making better prop planes. Britain’s meteor jet program was on par timeline wise to Germany’s, however as said in the video the weren’t desperate enough to deploy them over the skies of mainland Europe and risk them getting captured.

[@dudere]

I also heard that Germany had the lead on radar science. Very well made radar systems. The British made radar alerts chains out of scrap curtain rods. The Germans did see these but thought they were piles of trash. They British said it was because their plane spotters ate carrots which gave them excellent night vision. The Germans believed that over the idea that a radar could be constructed out of imprecise parts with solid designs to compensate.

[@chrism7395]

The Americans got a leg up on jet fighter research because the British gave them jet engine to copy in 1941

[@freddiespreckley6324]

​@dudere At the start of the war, that was the case. By the end of 1940 RAF night fighters had in-flight RADAR. Something the Luftwaffe wouldn't get until 1943/4, by which time nearly all allied planes had it, and allied RADAR was superior. This is in part due to inter service rivalry in Germany, and in part due to the Allies prioritising war-winning technology, as opposed to Germany prioritising headline-grabbing Wünderwaffe, that had limited use.

[@awesomehpt8938]

[@GaldirEonai]

Apparently when the soviets captured one of the prototypes their tankers took a look at it and couldn't stop laughing.

[@AnimeFreak40K]

The impracticality of the Maus was not why there were only two made. It had more to do with the lack of sufficient resources and parts for production and constant allied bombing. Both prototypes were scuttled just ahead of the Soviet Union advance on the facilities. The US had it's own superheavy tank (the T28); only 2 were made for that too, and the project was killed because their intended purpose (to break through the Siegfried Line) was rendered moot when it was discovered that the Siegfried Line was undermanned, under-equipped and penetrated before the project was done.

And for their scientific attempts to prove their beliefs, are an other attempt to compensate that based on Johann (Gregor) Mendel's gene expression theory, that if they had inter racial mixing, the children would be less likely to resemble the "Aryan" features of one of their parents (blond hair, blue eyes).

@@Teacko What?

[@Teacko]

@_jpg Hirshfield's studies of homosexuality and transgenderism led him to coining the term androphilia (attraction to masculinity) and 'kinderzogenmensch' (KZM) as an alternative to pedophile. This loosely translates to 'Minor/child attracted person'. While Hirschfeld did publicly state that pedophilia was 'deplorable', his research led him to advocate for 'non-offending' pedophiles because he believed that it was an essential part of homosexuality. Also, despite his public criticism of pedos, Hirshfeld's institute also studied the sexuality of children, often in the presence of adult men 'for research purposes'. So, while the n*zis were unequivocally evil, a broken clock is right twice a day 🤷‍♂️

I don't know how good of an example the Bismarck is. It wasn't technologically impressive, it was just bigger than legally allowed. It didn't just sink during it's maiden voyage, it was sunk by a decent chunk of the Royal Navy but not before sinking the Hood, the Royal Navy's flagship and it's sister ship Tirpitz essentially kept the allies out of Norway just by existing. It was a really good ship design, but nobody was under any illusion that it was anything more than a pair of good ships.

@6:15 THANK YOU for giving the small caveat that the scientific method is a structure that doesn't conform to an ideological bias WHEN USED PROPERLY. It's such a difficult thing to find the balance between trusting experts and staying alert to intentional or unintentional bias in methods and measures and misrepresentation of results/conclusions, again, whether intentional or not. Not to mention *trying* to be aware of our own personal biases and how they may effect how we take in new information, what information we are exposed to in the first place, etc. It's all so complex! 😭

The Bismark, a wonder weapon? I think that’s reaching a little. Certainly it - like all other battleships of the day - was an obsolete giant, I absolutely wouldn’t put it in the same category as the V2 or the Maus, and I’d like to see the evidence of those who do so in formal historical texts. Yes, it was a huge impractical thing of the type loved by Hilter, but it was also proven, effective design that took luck and skill to eliminate. Similar, but not the same.

[@sarpyasar5893]

Maybe it was a wonder weapon in the sense that it took a lot of resources to build it. I still agree with you about the wonder weapon argument though.

Climate denial and creationism are real silent when this video dropped.

[@NobodyQuiteLikeMe]

There is nothing wrong with believing in creationism. It isn't a red flag for stupidity like flat earthers or climate deniers. You shouldn't lump those two together. Creationism is just stating that you believe that our universe is created with intelligent design. Not that you are a dogmatic Christian that believes in a man in the sky that makes everything. Big difference.

[@matthewjohnson3656]

@@NobodyQuiteLikeMe Creationism is most commonly linked to (Young Earth) Creationism which is one step above flat earthers. Regular christians aren't dumping millions of dollars into ad campaigns against science because they don't understand what metaphor is, but young earth creationist are.

@@NobodyQuiteLikeMeI think the big difference is if its young earth creationism or not! Like if it goes against proven science like the age of the earth, evolution and the fossil record then yea idiotic but accepting the science but believing some higher diety or force guided it is imo completely fine and not dumb at all!

So here's some advice when you give a criticism like this. Provide your own sources so they can be cross-checked. If you don't do that then people are going to eye roll at you.

There's a cruel irony that you put Freud next to Einstein in the books that were burned, given that Freud was a pseudo-scientist. His theories of the mind were not falsifiable (ask Popper), and were astrology of the mind. Even today, we can't tell the difference between science and pseudo-science.

[@roychen5235]

It's a good thing that Freud isn't accepted by mainstream academic psychology anymore. He is acknowledged for his work setting the foundations of the field, but modern psychology at least tries to follow the other sciences even though it is still very much a softer science.

Dismissing the Bismarck as having merely “sunk on its maiden voyage”, as if the British navy didn’t pull out all the stops to destroy it after it sank HMS Hood and damaged HMS Prince of Wales, was a tad misleading. That made it seem like it was just another waste of resources, or even defective, when it was a legit threat at the time. It just suffered like all other battleships of its day from the advent of air superiority at sea.

[@GDark08]

Yeah I thought that odd too, especially considering how the channel had a whole series of videos accounting for the lengths which the Allies went to try and sink it as a suspenseful epic.
