LONDON -- Former Navy Secretary John Lehman disclosed that American military aid given London during the 1982 Falklands war was extensive and said Britain would have lost without it, the BBC-TV confirmed Sunday. 'Britain would have had to have withdrawn from the Falklands' if the United States had cut off the aid, said Lehman, Navy secretary from 1981 to 1987.
By far the most accurate and detailed vodeo on the war. Absolutely first rate. The one aspect thst i would like to have seen more on is the sir galahad incident. There is a wellnknown back story as to why the ship was not unloaded, why it should or should not have remained at anchor who made those decisions etc and i would have liked to have seen thst backstory and those details

I have seen almost every video out there on the Falklands War. This Part 2 has presented the most detailed discussion of the land warfare "I have ever seen" and included deserved credit to the Argentina troops who fought well under the circumstance. I also don't recall Exocet shore batteries being mentioned in other documentaries to name one of many new facts learned. Outstanding work! - It is my belief that the Falklands are and should remain British and its people deserve to be left free to live their lives in peace. Let's pray that another foolish war of conquest doesn't happens again, as the troops are the ones who suffer and die the blunders of unwise politician.
UK stole the islands, expelled Argentinian people, implanted its own and now begs for self-determination On the other hand, UK is one of the countries that rejects the will of Crimean and Donbass people to be part of Russia But yeah, let's respect the opinion of implanted people
Not watching this till tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Cold beer, hot pizza, and what I suspect will be 4:13:56 of being totally absorbed by the best military channel on RUclips.👍
Really good work, by far the best treatment I've seen of the Falklands War. I'd read a lot of material about the war, but this doc still completely changed some of my views. Pretty amazing how the whole air and sea part of the conflict really came down to a few weapons systems -- two nuclear attack subs, along with Aim9L missiles for the Brits, against the Super Entendard / Exocet combination and Sky Hawk low level bombing for the Argentines. Had the Argentines had more air launched Exocets, and proper fuses for their low level bombs, or had the Brits had fewer Aim9Ls, the outcome could have been entirely different. A truly near run thing. The ground campaign seems much more about traditional skills, where the British elite troops were just better. Thanks for the excellent production.
This is another example of superlative research combined with an enviable capacity for narration. I am most impressed with your evenhanded depiction of both the Brits and Argentinians, illustrating the courage and valor of both sides....something far too rare in histories of the Falklands. Thank you sir for your outstanding work here. You have substantially enriched my understanding of this complex war...
I hope you're proud. The UK fought a near perfect war in regards to morality. I watch Argentinian and British veterans from this war meet on RUclips. It's so heartwarming. They somehow fought a war without hate.
@@thelukesternater Yeah, and no real history of animosity between the people. Too far apart I guess. It's the politicians that battled with words over the islands mostly, and still do.
@mattblom3990 The fact that the conflict wasn't tainted by civilian deaths(only 3)and atrocities adds to the positive character of the war(so to speak)in my opinion.
Absolutely superb in every aspect. This should be picked up by a publisher and more photographs added, with some animations and more quotes perhaps. Nothing else should be changed, nothing. That would make one hell of a documentary to watch. Superb.
First of all, thank you for the upload! Second, I've noticed that The Ultimate Guide to Nuclear Weapons was gone from the channel. Is there a chance it's going to be back? It is hands down one of the best documentaries on the history of nuclear weapons. Third, is there a Patreon or something we can donate to? I'd be glad to contribute to the channel.
This is fantastic, absolutely superbly done. If you want the detail that 2x 4 hours can offer - nothing on TV could ever come close to this. 8 hours - all content, no filler, no recapping, superbly made and narrated. Thank you.
I would not have believed i'd be so keen to go through 7 hours of content (part 1 & 2) but i couldn't not hear it all. So compelling was the delivery. Well done.
This was an exceptional video , over 4 hours of top quality military history. The amount of effort and work that went into making this was obviously immense
I've watched dozens of RUclips videos about the Falkland Islands War. These two videos (part 1 and 2) are the best and most comprehensive I've seen. This is excellent work!
Terry Peck's stories appear in a few books but i feel like theyd easily make a book on their own, incredible resolve and determination, lots of close calls and a love for his island, his kelpies and the men that liberated them.
I was totally ignorant of how ferocious the fighting was in the Falklands War. The insane bravery of the pilots, the steadfastness of the navy, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat by both sides. This two part series is a must see for anyone wanting to know the whole story of the Falklands War. Masterpiece history telling.
Amazing detailing. Long form videos dont get as much engagement on youtube. This is common knowledge. But thanks to you for giving us this and not worrying about engagment metrics and views!
This was a good documentary. 😊 Thank you for your great work. War is a terrible thing. For all the good it might have done Argentina, they may as well have saved themselves the trouble, and spared many men.
As a participant in the Falklands war, I do agree with many of the comments that this is a good depiction of the war as i remember it and better than most unqualified documentaries that reply more on sensation than fact, so well done. My war was aboard the cruise ship [troop ship] Canberra, and I was a medic and POW guard. We also took them home to Argentina after they surrendered and i came back from the war with the most unusual war souvenir , a signed thank you card from the enemy!

Been waiting for this since the day Pt1 came out. Was WELL worth the wait. BRILLIANTLY, and most importantly, objectively laid out in beautifully constructed detail. You should be rightly proud of yourself for this series and that comes from an ex RMC ( although Falklands was before my time it's events, failures, victories and lessons played a massive part in my own career and our learning at all levels).
Excellent content which didn't show any bias. It was a great video & the description of the war itself fills in a few gaps. I had 6 relatives & 1 friend go into that conflict & all came back. My friend was with 2Para at Goose Green & I could not imagine even when he told me years later about it on what it was like.
Part 1 is a superb achievement. Been a busy Saturday so I only just noticed part 2 and I’m really looking forward to it now. Thank you for this amazing channel. Regards from Brisbane.
I finally caught one of these vids the day it came out! Always enjoyed your stuff & learned a lot about some of the more niche battles in the Pacific. Can't wait for your Ukraine/WWIII/US Civil war 2.0 docs! lol
I remember being glued to this as a teenager, at this remove it's surprising to learn in detail just how close it could've been. Thanks for the content
I enjoyed this, very nice work. My only suggestion would be to include a compass rose or northpoint on your aerial photos, so that when you are referring to compass directions they are easy to relate to the vision.
started watching a bit...i'll just watch a bit more...i'm sure i had something to do today but watch a bit more of this compulsive viewing...ah well 3 hours gone might as well finish it. BRILLIANT!!!!
It's really good to have an account of the conflict from someone/some people who are not directly involved yet sympathetic, who understand without being committed. This is what 'allies' seems to mean for me in this context.
Those Vulcans blow me away, I've heard they were used in War games. A simulated attack against NY city in the USA. They got through TWICE despite the USAF knowing an "attack" was coming, subterfuge & radio jamming, radar kerfuffles. Two nil pretty good.
Love the content! Would you be able to talk about the removal of the ultimate guide to Nuclear Weapons? I was looking forward to rewatching it after gaining some more knowledge in game theory.
Outstanding work! Incredible level of detail you gave on each phase of the battle, I had no idea there were so m any separate battles to the conflict. I joined the RAAF in Jan'82, this kicked off shortly after. I remember the sinking of the Belgrano, the loss of the Atlantic Conveyor and the fires that routed the RN aluminium ships bombed in harbour. Although it was a relatively small war, some pretty amazing feats were achieved, and appears there was a lot of luck on the British side at times. The loss of the Chinooks on the Conveyor was a massive logistic loss for the foot soldiers. The logistics to carry out the Black Buck raids to put one bomb on the Stanley runway were nothing short of unbelievable. I didn't know they had a Vulcan rip off the refuelling nozzle and have to divert to Brazil. Thanks again for your wonderful research and storytelling, keep the great work coming mate!
Brilliant work. I particularly liked the final part. As an Englishman, I had always believed the Argentine conscripts suffered from poor morale during the war and that’s the main reason why Argentina lost. I wasn’t aware this was a myth.
No. They suffered from harsh treatment, however moral was relatively fine until the fall back towards Stanley. However when the war ended one of the reasons officers were permitted side arms was for personal defence
I have been waiting for part 2 . Your channel is amazing. Such a lot of research and writing going into the videos. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤
In 1982 the Falkland's had only 5 miles of paved road all around Port Stanley, so additional vehicles were of little us unless 4x4.The first action of the Argentines was to change the side of the road you drove on.
Digitise them before they are lost. Records like this must be preserved, and one cannot assume that the national archives or the media themselves have kept the tapes themselves.
@@ghostdog688i 100% agree. History must be preserved, and it deserves to be remembered. In fact, we must remember history so we can learn. Not just about mistakes made, but about human nature itself and the individual stories that so often get forgotten in the grand picture
Really enjoying your presentation thank you!! Obviously & very well researched with appropriate care & respect to our heroic Soldiers, Sailors & Airmen … Also thanks for your unbiased reporting, the regards for the Brave Argentinian Military & blameless conclusions concerning the conscripts & professional personnel. The Political insanity where old men send young men to kill another nation’s young men often in the disbelief of the troops with zero animosity toward each other needs to END!! End WAR CND 🇬🇧🇬🇧 🇦🇷🇦🇷✌🏻
I never fully appreciated just how valiantly the Argentinian military forces, some of them conscripts, actually acquitted themselves. This war, brief though it was, was a far more close-run affair than I had been led to believe previously.
Yes, sure... the "brave" Argentine recruits fighting against sheep and soldiers in jeeps, what a way to laugh, every time someone insinuates that the Argentines were brave I personally take it upon myself to inform them that the Argentine landing on April 2 was by surprise and without prior declaration of war... every time someone insinuates a supposed Argentine "bravery" I refer them to seeing the audiovisual record of the Argentine Chinook flying at low altitude over the houses to cause fear in the civilian population before and during the taking of the governor's house, the example of the photos of the Argentine LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles trying to block the way of people with shopping bags is also valid... I will only say one thing, if I had a aircraft carriers, with their respective Chinooks helicopters and LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles, so even I without having military experience would be "brave", but that supposed bravery would disappear the instant the owners of the invaded lands with weapons similar to mine came to present me battle... 😂😂
Looking back, after Conqueror torpedoed Belgrano (ex USS Phoenix) and the US (Haig) back-channeled intel to the Admiralty the strategic impetus was always north beats south.
Unbelievable that Jones ended up in charge of an infantry battalion. No coincidence that the attack was successful after the 2iC took control of the battle.
I served after the Falklands but would say this. H and McKay is a famous bloodline. 2 PARA were blooded in Ulster and the passage south so they were adrenaline-oomphed (medical term) towards Argentinian slaughter. Appraised from afar H had probably become mad but the objective reality on the ground is more vital, so judgements should not be made from afar with 20/20. In the end, Para made vital differences.
Tip of the hat again Hypo I don't know how you find time to research and write these scripts. What was this one about 50,000 words? One tiny thing it's M72 LAW not M27. Thanks!
What you’ve done here Hypo is write a book. I’d highly recommend putting the transcript together as a book.
I love when my faves appear in each other’s comments sections.
Illustrated book, with pictures he used here. I think it would be mandatory reading in U.K’s school system.

When the Falklands War started the TV Channels showed the daily update on the war. I have three 3-hour Videos I saved on my VCR.
Digitise them before they are lost. Records like this must be preserved, and one cannot assume that the national archives or the media themselves have kept the tapes themselves.
@@ghostdog688i 100% agree. History must be preserved, and it deserves to be remembered. In fact, we must remember history so we can learn. Not just about mistakes made, but about human nature itself and the individual stories that so often get forgotten in the grand picture
You're my favorite youtuber man holy shit these are the best.
Amazing. I need more videos like this on other theaters of war.
I am so excited, I set aside everything I'm doing (short of driving) whenever Hypohysterical uploads :)
Very well done. Thank you for the hard work that went into this video.
Really enjoying your presentation thank you!! Obviously & very well researched with appropriate care & respect to our heroic Soldiers, Sailors & Airmen … Also thanks for your unbiased reporting, the regards for the Brave Argentinian Military & blameless conclusions concerning the conscripts & professional personnel. The Political insanity where old men send young men to kill another nation’s young men often in the disbelief of the troops with zero animosity toward each other needs to END!!
End WAR

Best in class-TY for in depth and new info on the land based Exocets. Great work!
I never fully appreciated just how valiantly the Argentinian military forces, some of them conscripts, actually acquitted themselves. This war, brief though it was, was a far more close-run affair than I had been led to believe previously.
This shocked me,It was close.
Yes, sure... the "brave" Argentine recruits fighting against sheep and soldiers in jeeps, what a way to laugh, every time someone insinuates that the Argentines were brave I personally take it upon myself to inform them that the Argentine landing on April 2 was by surprise and without prior declaration of war... every time someone insinuates a supposed Argentine "bravery" I refer them to seeing the audiovisual record of the Argentine Chinook flying at low altitude over the houses to cause fear in the civilian population before and during the taking of the governor's house, the example of the photos of the Argentine LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles trying to block the way of people with shopping bags is also valid... I will only say one thing, if I had a aircraft carriers, with their respective Chinooks helicopters and LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles, so even I without having military experience would be "brave", but that supposed bravery would disappear the instant the owners of the invaded lands with weapons similar to mine came to present me battle... 😂😂
Looking back, after Conqueror torpedoed Belgrano (ex USS Phoenix) and the US (Haig) back-channeled intel to the Admiralty the strategic impetus was always north beats south.
Brilliantly laid out description of the war. Just one thing got to me "thus".
I hit LIKE right away. I know it's going to be great.
Brilliant, top notch content 👌
Dr H^3 has delivered... and down the rabbit hole I go.
Unbelievable that Jones ended up in charge of an infantry battalion. No coincidence that the attack was successful after the 2iC took control of the battle.
I served after the Falklands but would say this.
H and McKay is a famous bloodline.
2 PARA were blooded in Ulster and the passage south so they were adrenaline-oomphed (medical term) towards Argentinian slaughter.
Appraised from afar H had probably become mad but the objective reality on the ground is more vital, so judgements should not be made from afar with 20/20.
In the end, Para made vital differences.
Tip of the hat again Hypo I don't know how you find time to research and write these scripts. What was this one about 50,000 words?
One tiny thing it's M72 LAW not M27. Thanks!
I can't believe it's taken me 3 months, but I'm finally clicking go on this bad boy! 🎉
Thanks!
Always welcome new content from you !!
Thank you to all involved as that was bloody marvelous !
