Awesome work Armchair Historia! Your animations keep getting better and your work is great as usual! One thing I want to say is Halder was responsible for operation Barbarossa. In 1940, Paulus and Wegner told Halder that Germany could not succeed in the Eastern front because of logistics problems. Yet, Halder decided to proceed with the invasion! Additionally Halder, Guderain decided to go for Moscow while Hitler wanted to go South for the oil in 1941 I think all the German Generals not just Hitler wanted war but they lead a quick success in France get over their head

[@GerMFnU1848Sax]

How?

[@prosto_andrey1945]

​@@benjamindavid6733Because, in D day Germans lost 3000 - 4000 men. In stalingrad (just in city) Germans lost 1000000 men (it is 1/9 German loses in WW2), in operation bagration Germans lost 300 - 400k men and 50k men captured. After operation bagration German troops on the east was destroyed, and Soviets started liberation of 10 east-eroupean countries, and they opened way to Berlin. If not operation Bagration, Germans could take troops from east to destroy Allies in France.

If I may give some constructive criticism; usually your documentaries are top notch, however it is of my opinion that this one missed the mark.

Given the title I was expecting more in depth personal accounts of how the German people were fairing and coping with the war, rather than just a dry recitation of facts (e.g. x amount of German soldiers died).

Technically, according to the Tripartite Pact, the Germans were NOT obliged to declare war on the U.S., because Japan, not America, had been the aggressor.

I think if Fire and Maneuver goes well, a Ww2 version could also go well. It would have to be on larger scale and have more orders. Or maybe it could be with squads, like your video that had German infantry squads.

27:16 While this part is really well made and executed, I cannot help but laugh when I remember that one of the reasons the germans thought the allies were landing at Calais is because of a man named Juan Pujol Garcia, also known as "Agent Garbo". A double agent whose whole deal was feeding the germans bad information. He is also one of two people who was decorated by both sides in WW2, earning an Iron Cross, Second Class (Which because he wasn't a soldier means Hitler had to sign off on it which is even funnier) and also a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire award.

Great video combining everything into one place. Does this mean that WW2 content will go on hold for a while? Also 1:05:00 images goes black for a few seconds and 1:07:30 also

[@Yamato-tp2kf]

Yeah i noticed that too

[@romaboo6218]

Yeah

[@gideonc847]

Oh let’s go! It’s interesting to see a full perspective of one of the most antagonistic nations in history

What a great production, I wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up.

Just called into work to tell them I can't come in for my shift, neglected to tell them it was because I would be watching this entire thing in one sitting

History is nothing to be ashamed of nor forgotten, is to to be learned from. Amazing video.

PREACH

[@Notapplicable-e2m]

Agreed

[@nivelcourbiche6140]

It's to be proud of, especially military victories.

I believe there's a mistake about the Berlin Philharmoniker concert on the 12th April 1945. The opera performed was Götterdämmerung by Richard Wagner. It was not Die Walküre.

You guys should do a video on Conrad Von Hotzendorf's disastrous Winter Carpathian offensives of 1914-1915.

[@dquod6.096]

Agreed. WW1 is very depressing and deserves more videos like this to cover the sacrifices that the soldiers went through. Lest we forget. 😔

[@adamMjarosz]

Seeing your progress along the way, I want to give props for how far your animation has come.
