I'm glad to see this channel making videos about this general period and region of Europe. You can find a lot of topics there! Could you perhaps consider making a video about Merian C. Cooper and other American pilots of the Kościuszko Escadrille, fighting for Poland against the Bolsheviks? The 303 Squadron, that you've recently covered, was actually continuing the tradition of that unit and bearing their emblem!

[@RegressPanika]

Yes, a little-known story of the intervention of England, France, the USA, Canada, Japan, Italy in Soviet Russia, which the Bolsheviks successfully repelled. Thanks for the video, the quality is getting better every time!🐰

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Thankfully the Bolshies were stopped on the Vistula a couple years later. Perhaps the single most consequential and little known event in the lead-up to the War. 1923 and 1933 never would have happened if the Red Army invaded Central and Western Europe.

This is the first time I have heard about the Estonian war of independence. Great work in covering lesser known wars. Thanks guys.👍😁 Pretty bold attack. What speed did these motor boats do please?

[@carsonm7292]

It's like a proto-PT boat raid. Amazing to hear about this kind of thing happening in the era immediately following WW1.

[@edwardhuggins84]

A interesting side note is that destroyers where originally designed to combat torpedoe boats and where called torpedoe boat destroyers to prevent raids like this one

[@silvertalon007]

They even used Anti Air guns in WW1 as an Anti Boat application. Worked well against the plywood things.

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

It’s not a proto PT boat because torpedo boats were invented and used well before WW1. They played a significant role in the Russo-Japanese War.

[@Constance_tinople]

@@TheGreatAmphibianPT boats aren’t the same as a torpedo boat. PT boats were an innovation on the idea intended for Patrolling behind lines and generally sticking close to shore/ shallower water. It stands for patrol torpedo, whereas boats original torpedo boats were intended to be carried on warships and then unloaded to engage the enemy during a battle.

[@mikeycraig8970]

No, not really. These are British boats so the Americanism 'pt boat' doesn't apply. These are proto MTB's. Motor Torpedo Boats. Infact, I wouldn't even use the word proto, as these quite literally ARE Motorised Torpedo Boats. American designations do not apply to the Royal Navy.

[@zipsexe]

These animations are Insane! Would love to see a video on the siege of Wake Island where 499 marines of the 1st defense battalion held off an attack of 2.500 men as well as 6 destroyers and 3 light attack cruisers using a aminuscule amount of gear; 4 damaged F4F Wildcats and 127mm costal defense guns

[@doujinflip]

They're called "destroyers" which is a shortened form of "torpedo boat destroyers"... they were designed specifically to help protect larger but less maneuverable capital ships against devastating torpedo-launching speedboats.

[@tomwood5247]

This was the second attack on the port. The first attack was led by Augustus Agar. He managed to hit and sink a heavy cruiser. He won the VC for that.

[@ВладимирЖудин-у6с]

Что ты несёшь, у России в то время не было тяжёлых крейсеров.

[@simonbeaird7436]

The ship Agar sunk was the 'Oleg', a light cruiser armed with 6-inch (15cm) guns. At that time Russia had only one heavy cruiser, the Rurik, and she was under repair at the time of the raid.

Then a battle came and there were enemy machineguns. Then the boy helped his side soldiers by risking his life and throwing some sand near the machineguns by sneaking. Sadly the boy died because while throwing sand at the machinegun the machine gun shooted him but he was succesful on jamming the machine gun.

Wow I noticed the better quality of assets and animations in recent epicodes but this one is something else, this was amazing to watch!

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day Yarnhub, I gotta say the animation quality just keeps getting better as the up close facial shots and lim moving is masterful, although knowing the type destroyer used the turret traverse rates were a bit fast on the Pattern 1911 102 mm mounts and the Pom-Pom mounts fired at LMG rates except in the slowed down action. Yet an overall good animation of a somewhat forgotten raid in an often forgotten part of the russian civil war. Hmm in your preview earlier this week many guessed the Zeebrugge raid an I was certainly wondering would your team ever cover that glorious raid one day as well? (reading into it was always crazy with the brits using fireships to block the port entry and they stuck flamethrowers to the ships as well like HMS Vindictive 1897).

[@PhilleShy]

Thanks for telling this story; one of our least remembered little wars in 20th century history.

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

2 months prior to this attack, a SINGLE British "coastal motor boat" (CMB 4) penetrated Kronstadt harbour to attack the Russian fleet there. As it slid past the destroyer screen protecting the harbour, its engine broke down and it had to tie up alongside the harbour breakwater in darkness for 20 minutes while the engine was repaired. Once sorted it then sped into the harbour and at a 6000 ton Russian cruiser (the "Oleg") which it sank with a single torpedo before speeding out of the harbour under very heavy fire. The same boat was used during the attack detailed in this video to guide the other 3 coastal boats into the harbour and lead them back out again after the attack. The boat's commander was Capt Augustus Agar. He received the Victoria Cross for his actions, and later during WW2 he commanded , amongst others vessels, the RN heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire which my father served onboard.

[@adrianparker-e9f]

Interesting to know that medals were awarded to British forces in this conflict. Were any other medals awarded ? I can't think of any films or tv drama set within the British and allied involvement against the Communists at this time.

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

@@adrianparker-e9f The whole post WW1 European involvement in the Russian civil war is something that seems to be COMPLETELY ignored. I can't fathom out why that is for sure... but it may possibly be due to interwar being such a complex period of European turmoil which was sandwiched between the two cataclysms of the world wars. I myself have only a little knowledge about it, but knew of this episode after my father told me the brief outline of the events, and a little reading filled in some of the gaps.

The information in this video is a common English lie. Bolshevik Russia granted Estonia full independence in 1918. But in 1919, the Russian counter-revolutionary army of General Yudenich, armed by the British and French, attacked red revolutionary Russia from Estonian territory, invaded Russia and began an offensive on Petrograd, the main city in northwestern Russia. And the Royal English Navy, without declaring war and without warning, meanly attacked revolutionary Bolshevik Russia and supported the offensive of the white counter-revolutionary army of General Yudenich on red revolutionary Petrograd (St. Petersburg) from the sea.

About 40 years ago I watched a Soviet feature film about the destroyer Gavriil, and there was an episode about the attack on the port of Kronstadt by English torpedo boats. In the film, the brave gunners of the destroyer destroyed the attacking boats with the first accurate shots, and there was not a single word about the sunken cruiser, nor about the fact that Gavriil itself was simply miraculously not hit, nor about the fact that two of the three hit boats collided with each other, and were also able to evacuate the crew and continue the fight. Also, in the film, these English boats did not look like wooden troughs at all.
