I know WHY Germany invaded. I must correct myself. I know all the arguments after being a keen and independent minded historian for 40 years. But it still makes so little sense to do what Germany did, twice, in the modern era, as 1914 and 1939 were in a modern era. Not Napoleonic era or earlier. No good comes of occupation of neighbours like that. Pointless murder.

[@RyanTheSergal]

Even though the weapons were either ancient or badly made, the men who used them to defend their country were brave and strong men that fought till the very end. It's a shame that the government of the Netherlands has always held back the Dutch military so very much. Almost as if they did not care about the military at all. Even now other countries have to wake the Dutch government up to rebuild their army instead of them doing it themselves. Very loyal and good, strong, brave men who gave it and still give it all, though led by a pathetic government that doesn't give a wooden nickle about them.

I'm comming a year late here but you have to understand that there was an enormous economic crisis going on, and the prime minister at the time (Colijn and later on de geer) had a rather thrifty mindset (save for geer maybe) Nowadays there is not much reason to invest to the military in the Netherlands due to mostly peaceful bonds in Western Europe and also it's location, should an outside invasion be comming: the invader would first have to fight it's way through half of Europe before reaching dutch grounds. Although I do think that the NATO requirement of atleast 2% should be met.

The ''problem'' with the Dutch is that they are the biggest of the small European countries (so they could decide to have a small defence force, or surrender quickly without losing honour or losing too many human lives) but they are the smallest of the big countries (meaning that they have to have some decent-sized army of their own). The industrial capability was certainly there, but... there was too much reliance on foreign armament, and foreign assistance in case of an invasion. I know the depression in the 1930s hit everybody hard but the government just didn't want to spend too much money. and it hoped the same would happen as in WW1 - no German invasion at all.

In 1940 they made the right decision. The cities were at the mercy of the German air force. The German army had bypassed the Maginot line and the French country side was wide open. The USSR was Germany's alley and the USA was neutral. The decision to make both the navy and merchant navy available to the alleys was the correct one. They gave up territory but didn't give up the struggle.

The rifles and carabines were an adaptation of the Austro-Hungarian standard issue during WW1, which were the best infantry weapons of their day. Straight bolt action five cartridge block loaders, with automatic eject form the bottom when spent, with an effective range of 2500 meters. Not bad at all and lethal in the hands of a man who knew how to use it. And Dutch soldiers have always been good riflemen, sharphooters and snipers, so they inflicted a lot of German casualties with these weapons during May 1940.

nou!?? om heel precies te zijn gaat het om de Steyr-Mannlicher M1894. In Nederland werd het geweer de "Mannlicher M95" genoemd ( i.v.m. het jaar waarop dit geweer in dienst werd genomen (1895 dus) het wapen werd eerst in Oostenrijk (steyr) en Hongarije (Boedapest) en later (v.a. 1904) ook in licentie bij Hembrug in Nederland gebouwd. Hoewel het hierbij om een zeer betrouwbaar wapen ging was de effectiviteit ervan niet bijzonder groot. dit i.v.m. het soort munitie wat verschoten werd. 6.5 MM rondkop kogels die een te hoge mondingsvuur snelheid hadden waardoor ze effectief te weinig schade konden aanrichtten....

Very intrigued by the De Schalde S.21 as it was slightly heavier and with a slightly smaller wing than the contemporary BF109.E3 but was significantly faster (24 MPH faster than the 109 and 10 Mph faster than the Spitfire Mk2) was very similarly armed and the service ceiling difference was negligible. With these figures it looks like the 109 would be more manoeuvrable but the S.21 would be faster not only in level flight but also in a dive which indicates that it may have better energy retention in a Boom and Zoom attack it would certainly have been an interesting match-up between the two and would have many parallels to that of the 109 with the spitfire albeit with the 109 being forced to use tactics more similar to the ones the spitfire took in such engagements. And with the S.21 using essentially the same engine ( a few minor modifications as the S.21 used the DB600G that was used on prototype 109s while the production 109 used the DB601) as the 109 both would have been able to do negative G manoeuvres. I honestly think in the hands of a skilled pilot the S.21 would have been an excellent fighter albeit the high wing loading would have negatively effected manoeuvrability but had have improved stability making it a very effective Boom and Zoom fighter its a pity it never got the chance such an interesting design deserved, and that's not even mentioning the far superior viability the pilot would have had in the S.21

At the reviews of the Dutch weapons you menton each time "HEMBURG" - As you repeat this it can't be a 'wrong key' - it should be "HEMBRUG"! The so called "WIjman" 'armoured' car is in fact a PWV Morris 135, modified by J. Wijnman. Not 12 but only 3 were made. These cars belonged to the 'Buffle Class' and received the names: Buffel, Bison and Wisent. They were useless in wartime. INstead of the type of 'armoured cars' the Dutch Army bought the Swedish "Gammele Lansverk", or short: "Lanswerk". Of this type of armoured car the Dutch bought 12 cars. We are really puzzled about your GMC armoured car as it was according to you in service of the Dutch army... You forgot to mention the Carden Loyd Carrier, made by Vickers UK, the first tracked armoured car for the Dutch army, furthermore the 'Bussing', PAW 36 and 38, and as PAW 39 it was in fact the DAF M39 AC

[@kwaaikoppie7006]

+Reinier de Kievit pfew, glad I was in the navy then.... we had to say pinda pinda ( peanut peanut) lol

[@williamrijn8024]

nederland nederland nederland !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MehLewH]

Yeah we did had a hard time in the war

[@rjansen6874]

When there was a fund raizing for the defence of our country directed at the rich people in The Netherlands They collected 1000000 (1 million) Gulden. Even then it was not even close to the amount that they needed... They found out that the buisnesmen in our country rather did buisness with the germans if they invaded our country!! Some things never change... Sorry for my english.

[@asarono]

I am sorry for that. But in other hand, East Indie is fought hard against the Japanese Imperial Army

[@Freeman1953]

It is Hembrug not hemburg. Factory north of Amsterdam

[@genekelly8467]

Looks like the Dutch din not manufacture aircraft engines-they had to buy from GB, Spain, USA. Why no domestic engine production?

[@jmantime]

The Dutch did design aircraft and aircraft engines

[@mcj2219]

0:49 i think that are Para guys , or some Dutch guys working for the Germans ( if you didnt know , Dutch soldiers working for Germany also fought in The Soviet Union. In small numbers ( 30.000 - 100.000

[@ultrasmurf1245]

1. No those are normal dutch soldiers 2. Nowhere near even 30.000 dutch people fought for the germans

[@douglasdunker5756]

WHAT HAPPEN IN DEWAAL TEXAL NETHERLANDS DURING WW 2 ?

[@ruben8471]

Ik mis de D21!!!!

[@Zyme86]

Anyone else struck but the fact this looks like pretty much what teh belgian army used in WWI?

[@smartlp3010]

Bmxje tell that to a Belgian and a Dutch guy if you want to get your head split.

[@dennisdejong1708]

Belgium and luxenburg were "the states of the Netherlands. But they split apart.

[@rafscheringa93]

Smart LP 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NTSCuser]

Zyme86 Zyme86 That was exactly my first thought as well!

[@TonyMontana-yj6rx]

Ze hadden wapens die voor die tijd al ouderwets waren

[@stevepringle2295]

You missed the Fokker D.XXI

[@furorfrisii7679]

And the 'resistance' of our army were but a few units. Most fled. Honest IS honest. We Frisians know that fighting is NOT a generic trade of the Dutch. That's what they used US for in the old days.

[@BMW02463]

Hahahaha you stil live in the middle ages ?

[@jerrelhurenkamp5251]

But now we have weapons from all over the world! :D

[@tostie3110]

Jerrel Hurenkamp Just like back then, then. A british lewis, a austrian carbine/rifle etc.

[@MrCodix]

wagen vanaf @5:01 lijkt net op zo'n isis bomb truck

[@dennis1802]

The Fokker D 21 is not that aircraft, its not even a bi plane sir

[@LekkerRekkenYT]

Shame you didn’t include any navy at all

[@narvul]

It's not "Hemburg" but "Hembrug."

[@Luke-li5gj]

Of course the Dutch would have bicycle mounted infantry.

[@grootsChannel]

Yup xd

[@michellewilmsen7334]

Zoals je weet Nederland is een water land dus zegen we greper linie

[@j.alexander7554]

Atleast fokker gave us some good planes, but that was about it

[@yorkchris10]

Nice Cybertruck

[@Jeroen1813]

yes my country fuck yeahhhhh

[@Herman6507]

Pre-war pacifist national politics named the politics of "het gebroken geweertje" i.e. the broken rifle prevented modernization of the Dutch military forces. Only when tides turned a useless attempt was made to modernize. Too little too late. As a matter of fact Arms from military musea where mobilized when the Germans came..

[@MaxSluiman]

Where are the famous Dutch AA guns that shot down 140 German planes?

[@Stripedbottom]

They had no HMG, no artillery, no mortars...?

[@AphoeniciusGreco]

They sure did. Even mountain artillery... Heavy MG was the Austrian Schwarzlose.

[@supribodong154]

I think KNIL was stronger than KL at that time 😊

[@jobfranschman8436]

Supri Bodong idd eigenlijk best raar vind je niet

[@asarono]

KNIL is no more than defence militia by that time.

[@AphoeniciusGreco]

The Dutch Indies were also a little bit larger than The Netherlands, and the military display was also meant as propaganda in those days.

[@tasman006]

A lot of obsolete equipment for the day no wonder their war with Germany lasted a few days. Great music.

[@jmantime]

+tasman006 they had better weapons in the dutch east indies and actual tanks , but they lacked manpower and lost to japan

[@jmannetje1]

The Fokkers were quite good planes...

[@tasman006]

+jmantime Yes I know they had no chance against the Bicycle Blitzkrieg, rampaging Japanese. After the fall of Singapore due to the British underestimating the Japanese the fall of the Dutch East Indies was going to happen. You should do a vid on Japanese weapons of WW2 the knee morter was interesting hence its nickname.

[@tasman006]

+jmantime Sorry just noticed you have already done a vid on Japanese WW2 weapons.

[@Xxwolffangwarrior1xX]

+tasman006 It could have lasted a lot longer. Germany bombed a major city into oblivion. Holland had to capitulate to have no more casualties.
