Turning Points: The Key Battles That Turned The Tide Of WW2 | World War II In Colour

Love these long videos, always great to sleep to.

I find myself doing the same thing all the time🤣

[@chipsawdust5816]

Sick of KZbin censoring - we're watching a WAR movie, there are going to be dead things. Stop treating us like children and we'll watch the whole thing, thank you very much.

[@MrRoundthetwist]

I more sick of adverts every 2-3 minutes

[@matsin3967]

You can always find a different copy of the documentary. I feel as if this platform only serves to entice those eager to learn to dig deeper and consume the original material

[@mrmrhappy2012]

I agree. And I'd add that it's a disservice to not show what war does to people.

[@frandsenphilip1]

World War II in Colour was on Netflix for a long time, and it's too bad they took it out of their library. I watched it many, many times and think it is an excellent overview of World War II. It was a springboard for me to learn more about the war.

[@clinthowe7629]

there’s a couple other WW2 in color documentaries, but they are not as good as the one you speak of. though I do love WW2 in HD I saw footage on that doc I’d never seen before. The Vietnam War by Ken Burns is spectacular as well, I was engrossed. i had a new respect and empathy for the bravery of the common soldier, and what he was forced to endure.

[@kylegoodreau2170]

apocalypse world war 2 is the best documentary on the war I've ever seen ..its on KZbin check it out sometime

[@alanluscombe8a553]

@@kylegoodreau2170it is very good. If you have a chance the Ken burns the war documentary is in my opinion the best or top three ww2 shows ever made

[@erikk4555]

​@@kylegoodreau2170 No it's not. Only 6 parts and full of mistakes. I did like the music of the Japanese guy though! Watch WW2 week-by-week here on YT. Just finished couple of months ago and most elaborate and in depth WW2 series ever made and probably ever will be made! Made by a great team! There is a same concept series on WW1 as well! Also awesome!

There's a book called Windswept Lies of War, and it talks from censored history and hidden secrets to lost files and classified documents about World War II, it's the real deal.

[@acm4147]

Will look for it. Was raised by a WW2 vet, so the 30's and 40's have always been of interest. 👍

[@Daculaboy]

Does it tell the actual truth about mustache man and the tiny hats? Or is it more propaganda written by the victors?

[@noelenesteel2677]

for those who are interested, watch the documentary called 'Operation Mincemeat' it's excellent.

[@vsboy2577]

History is so important

[@khadorstrong]

putting into color is entirely important I think. It reminds people how real and how recent these awful events were

[@stonebear]

*ahem* Everybody always gets excited about the Mustang. The P-47 was on scene well before the combat-effective P51-B was, AND the *real* problem was the USAAF "Bomber Mafia" refusing to supply drop tanks to *any* American fighters, '51, '47, or '38, thinking that the Forts' own guns would be sufficient to get them through. Schweinfurt, of course, proved them wrong... and finally somebody got smart and gave Jimmy Doolittle, a genius six ways from Sunday as well as a heck of a pilot in his own right, command of the 8th Air Force. Once Doolittle changed the USAAF's priority from destruction of infrastructure to that of logisitical superiority - first, seek out and destroy the Luftwaffe, and second, on the way back from a raid, hit anything that moved, then things got better. By 6 June the Luftwaffe had very little *left* to throw at the Normandy landings, and that which did show its face were summarily dealt with. Of course, blowing up all that infrastructure meant that the Allies had their own logistical problems to deal with... but at least they weren't usually ducking German air raids to do so. Can't say the same for Fritz himself.

[@benjaminprezza]

I'm so happy we had winston churchill as prime minister back then 😊

[@Cobber.]

Imagine Joe or Don Or Harris/Pence …

[@Daculaboy]

Why he rejected mustache mans peace offerings numerous times and instead helped cause the death of tens of millions of people, got most of Britain destroyed, bankrupted it, and caused the end of the British empire and the pound as the world reserve currency and plunged Britain into unimaginable debt to the United States.😂

[@waynelittle646]

The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence). Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism) The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war, 12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"

[@clinthowe7629]

But why? why would Britain, which vastly outnumbered the Japanese on Malaya be overwhelmed? did they lack sufficient artillery? airplanes? were they simply not expecting the Japanese army to be so tenacious? it must’ve been disheartening to the allies to have to fight them knowing this.

[@nathanielnelson5123]

I ALWAYS wondered the same thing

[@nmr6988]

In general, British troops were never well supplied with armaments. They were always behind the loop. The troops themselves were incredibly brave, but I don't recall hearing that they commanders were particularly good.

[@JOSWAY787]

This is a prime example where air superiority can decide the course of a battle or even war

[@Paulfromwish]

The British relied on their modernised coastal forts using poorly equipped colony troops , Britain along with United States had no respect for the Japanese and considered them savages, the Japanese landed usually very far away from the forts inland and walked on foot Have to remember as well Britain only has one army at the time that was in North Africa getting smashed

At Midway while the Japanese Naval pilot loses were severe actually the most severe loss was mechanics.

[@erikk4555]

@@JamesJohnson-gv7tv Yes. But planes and ships can always be manufactured again. Experienced fighter/bomber pilots take a while to replace, if even possible.

[@chipsawdust5816]

It took years to get the Japanese aircraft mechanics up to speed. In fact, you could train a pilot faster. So yes, the loss of mechanics at Midway especially, that early in the war, was a critical but largely ignored hit to the IJN.

[@chipsawdust5816]

@@erikk4555 Japan's main problem there was they didn't have the capacity to manufacture thousands of planes and more ships. They started out hoping for a six month fight. And in Japan, it took years to bring an aircraft mechanic up to speed. The loss of a couple thousand at Midway, that early in the war, helped to cripple the IJN aerial effort for the rest of the war.

[@stonebear]

AAAAAAND once again Jean Laidlaw, WRNS, and her compatriots get ERASED. Black May (1943) was BEFORE the air gap was closed, and it never would've happened but for these women, and their boss, Captain Gilbert Roberts, who made Max Horton play the war game himself and lose 0-5 to Janet Okell using Laidlaw's tactics. (Also, ASDIC got erased too; this had been around for a couple of decades, and Johnnie Walker his own self put it to decent use... but Laidlaw studied Walker's BUTTERCUP tactics, figured out the fatal assumption - that a sub would attack from outside a convoy rather than sneaking INSIDE at night - and devised RASPBERRY as an initial counter, accounting for the fact that the one way out of the middle of a bunch of hostile ships was *down*, at which point the sub's slower underwater speed would force it aft relative the the convoy centre... and of course, the ladies didn't stop there; they developed several other tactics for use in various conditions. It takes *both* tech *and* brains (and a bit of bloody-mindedness) to win a war... and a willingness to let whoever has good ideas run with them and be the person to teach others. No matter what their gender, or colour, or where they came from.

[@chipsawdust5816]

I recently saw a great British movie about those tactics and while it was a bit dramatic, it was accurate. Those WRNS were smart cookies! They saved Britain as much as any other part of the service at the time.

[@christopherkeefe7716]

I saw an interview of a German soldier, POW from North Africa, he stated that he knew Germany was going to lose the war when they marched him by a couple miles of Allied vehicles, and they were all sitting there, idling with nobody in them,

Would love to see a video focusing on the carriers in the pacific. One that introduces every new carrier as they entered pacific waters. All we’ve seen so far is the 4 carriers we had when the war started and how at one point we were down to only one. But then it jumps from there to the 20 or so that attacked Okinawa. What about the in-between? When and where did all the others enter the war?

So … TBF the video title says “Turning Points,” plural. So they’d prob say all of the above. Which is fair. War is a twisty thing.
