Congratulations to makers of this doco. Very nice to have Tommy Flowers acknowledged Too often Turing is credited with Collossus.
People were so brilliant in those days. Greatest generation
Great episode.
I was once married into a British family. We enjoyed bantering back and forth about British versus American English. One thing I learnt was that these sorts of "valves" are what Americans call "tubes". As in old fashioned radio tubes, and later, TV tubes as well.
See also "vacuum tubes".
I thought this could be helpful for my fellow Yanks to know.
Fascinating. I never knew about the system of using the Navahu. Language .
Intensely interesting video. Learned a lot. Thank you for posting.
How about an episode on the Code Talkers used in Europe in both WWI and WWII.
The story behind the folks a Blechley Park is "The Immitation Game". Quite interesting. I shudder to think how much heat was generated by all those tubes (ok, valves!)
The term "debugging", in relation to computer programming, comes from the fact that those valves and circuit boards had to have insects removed periodically.
'The Imitation Game,' plays foot loose and free with the truth! It is about 75% totally wrong, and even the other 25% is nit correct either!
Turing and his team developed the mathematical formulas that enabled the electric circuitry to be designed and built that allowed the 'Bombes' to work!
He did not break Enigma, the bombes worked out the settings which then allowed the cryptographic to read the traffic.
I know people who worked long hours reading the decrypted messages, translating them in to English. Turing never got hold of an Enigma machine, let alone the code books.
His homosexuality even at BP was well known, and who he met outside BP was monitored.
Wow that was great!!
The Enigma decipher was an amazing accomplishment. I thank God that the Bletchly Park Brit's had all the discipline & dedication that it demanded already in their DNA. 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
We also have to thank the Nazis for their narrow fascist vision which made them so arrogant and insistent on the biggest planes, tanks, and ships, and frittered away vast sums of money and human life on developing their “wonder machines,” like the Vengeance bombs (V1 and V2). I recently read that the Germans could have produced 25,000 planes for the same cost as the development and production of the Vengeance bombs alone….so I also am terribly thankful that they were psychopaths who were so narcissistic that they constantly had to outdo each other, and nothing was finished! This is only _ONE_ example of this behavior.
Fantastic, magnificent introduction video showed intelligent struggles amongst competitive & hustling sides...depending on technology superiority, economic coverage capabilities...thanks for sharing
Just imagine what is going on today !!!
This video talks about what was happening 80 years ago .... WWII
Now; if someone wants to send a missile into your front room they CAN simply by using YOUR phone .... Not that they would, but it is technically possible.
The men and women of WWII were so much more brave than todays geeks.
A great marine Skill, "windTalkers" !! ! 🙂💪🐾🐾
Note the use of electromagnetism to detect the signals in the Russian cable. The physics had been known for a long time. (Maxwell's Laws). But back then, we didnt know who was going it for wartime purposes.
I understood from other sources that the alleged 6 weeks life-span of an agent was because of a SPY in the Home Office sending names and locations to the GESTAPO.
I’d like to see that source for myself….I’ve been reading on all aspects of WWII for 35 years, and that has never even been hinted at in the books I read, several of which were about Bletchley Park.
body guards to protect them from capture or kill them if capture was forthcoming
I didn’t hear anyone say that. What’s your source?
THE BATTLE FOR MIDWAY WW-II
It was June the 4th 1942
As I was floating in the ocean alone
The ship I had sailed on, sank to the bottom
And I thought I would never again, see home.
The Japanese fleet had steamed in from the east
With the intentions of capturing Midway.
Though they were stopped by American war ships
Whose guns, bombs and torpedoes planes saved the day.
All night long, I watched the fireworks of war
And on the second day we turned up the heat.
As big bombers from Hawaii dropped their loads
On Japanese ships who soon chose to retreat.
An imperial pilot came floating close by
Who had been chewed on by the beasts of the sea.
I couldn't help but feel passion for this is man
Who had answered his call just like me.
When it was over, I was plucked from the deep
By men in a lifeboat just after the dawn.
For two days I had watched the battle for, Midway
Now it's quiet and the enemy has gone.

Overall, a great video, but the film and photographs of the Hallibut were obviously wrong. You kept showing the WW II Gato class submarine Halibut SS-232, whereas you were talking about a later USS Halibut SSGN-587. The bow is the obvious giveaway. The bows of early nuclear subs were completely verticle, whereas 232 was sharply slanted. That aside, really enjoyed the video as a whole.
Conclusion: In war 'intelligence' is king.
Well, there are quite a few equally important factors, of which intelligence is one. Intelligence saved Allied lives….it didn’t win the war.
@@voraciousreader3341 Well actually it did, coz if intelligence didn't save them they won't win the war.
Nice documentary 👌 👍
@@message37 thank you..🤩🤩
Interesting video
USS HALIBUT hull number 232 was a Gato Class Diesel submarine, built in 1941, and sold for scrap in 1946.
The first bombe was supplied by the Polish mathematicians responsible for early breaking of the code AND for getting an enigma machine to England .
Didn't give the Poles proper credit for their groundbreaking work on Enigma. Bogus.
God bless the WindTalkers.
This was in documentaries long ago...
Whilst I enjoyed the video, it was predominantly nothing to do with Operation Fortitude (less than 5 minutes). A video allegedly about a particular operation of deception, saw the uploaders having to use deception in its titling!
Keith Watkins....Well said...bravo. This channel has 462,000 subscribers, so why do they think they need to deceive us into believing that Operation Fortitude was going to be the focus of the video? That is real low class in my book.
Completely agree. I hate misleading / click bait-y video titles. It’s the quickest way to lose credibility.
Juan Pujol, from Barcelona, invented up to 35 informers with the help of the British intelligence service.
His alias was "Garbo".
@@AlfonsoPosada Yes, that was amazing what he did. I have watched a movie or two about him and several documentaries about his achievements.
It was not ‘the Germans’ who designed the Enigma machine, but a German electrical engineer named Arthur Scherbius, who designed the machine not for military purposes, but to protect commercial transactions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Scherbius
So, why are you splitting hairs? What exactly is your point? It was designed by a German, for Germans, in Germany….how were they wrong by saying the military took it on??
The German "Enigma" coding machine was originally a pre war Polish designed, commercial coding machine to prevent commercial spying over the old fashioned telephone network. And was known about in Britain pre-war. The Germans added a 3rd ring, and the German Navy later added a 4th ring to the Enigma machine. What few people know is the Germans already had another & even more sophisticated coding mechanism, they had developed themselves for the highest level messages only used within the land area then part of Germany. Which Britain never even knew existed until our armies had physically entered German territory in 1945 !
The Enigma machine was invented by the Dutch, not Germany
Gee! I’ve just been reading that it was done in Poland! Have any of you ever actually read a *BOOK* on the subject, or even a tiny Wikipedia article??
I still think the smartest thing the americans did was use the native americans tribal language as the Navajo code talkers. Brilliant!
Don't forget the Walker Spy Case.
Only this time the Russkis stole from US.
We play our games, they play theirs.
Including inverting the signal.
8:46 "Up to nine months" includes zero months.
Click Bait. 12 minutes was about OPERATION FORTITUDE. The rest of totally different topics. Although interesting topics, I was looking forward to watching an ENTIRE EPISODE ON OPERATION FORTITUDE… Click bait does you NO CREDIT @War Stories
m not bothering.
21:40 I am willing to bet that the collective iq of the Manhattan project was greater than Bletchley park’s.
Why does that matter to you? Do you feel the need to compete with the British? And I’m a psychologist-an expert at measuring and quantifying IQ-and can confidently tell you that the IQ a person obtains is just a number. It doesn’t factor in creativity or insight or different levels of complex problem solving. The only thing an IQ score is good for is predicting how well the person should do, or have done, academically. Genius is unquantifiable, whether it’s a concert pianist who can memorize a complex concerto lasting 45 minutes and to make “Art” of it, or a physicist who can mathematically calculate parts of the universe, so there is absolutely no use in trying to compare.
Perhaps if you click the time stamp I provided you would understand. If you heard what the man in the video said and don’t understand that I was pointing out that he was wrong, then that’s your failure. Pointing out that the people that created the atom bomb had a higher collective iq has nothing to do with national origin. Finally I am aware that iq scores have no practical use.
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.
Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned expert Mr Ray Dalio thought I'm the only one trading with him
I'm from Los Angeles , I and two other of my friends tried him immediately we testified he's performing wonders
I just withdraw my profits a week ago, it was so shocking when I withdrew $32,450 knowing I invested $3,000. I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills 😩
I'm a long term investor. I Withdraw my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic
I lost everything with ray. Don't be a sucker.
For us in wakanda all of this devices are outdated and also today use by the west. We develop more sophisticated like heli carrier and others.
@Modh Hasyudin - I think your English wasn’t good enough for this program, however advanced your country may be. The information in this video was mostly from *WWII, which ended in 1945.* Therefore, what you saw was *THE FIRST COMPUTER,* invented nearly *80 YEARS AGO!!* Do you get it now?? If you think England and the United States are still using technology and weapon systems from 1945, I must say I’m not impressed with the quality of your schooling, or your country’s advancements!
Nothing new here. Almost all rehashed material from far better existing documentaries.
