Correct. The USA was a powerhouse and was virtually under no threat, so it could churn out machines, weapons and supplies constantly. I agree with what she said, if hitler stopped in the Chez, today would’ve been extremely different.
Well they could. They just didn’t. Japanese sent over bombing balloons, and the Germans had u boats in the New York harbor. The war was there on the home front. You just haven’t looked into it
Americans u know, just let them think they are the center of attention... ;) Edit: I see you Americans guys really can't take a joke... I would have though better of you Yanks.
You really think that's the end all of code breaking during the war? No, it wasn't, America had a woman named Elizabeth Smith Friedman who broke Enigma codes, she'd been doing code breaking for the US government since WW1, nobody knows about her because her records weren't declassified until 2008, 28 years after her death in 1980, she never talked about her role in breaking the Enigma codes during WW2 ever in her later years because she swore an oath of silence until her death. Among her achievements she broke codes that exposed German spies during the war that made possible their being "turned" and made into double agents, in all her and her team broke over 4,000 Enigma coded messages during the war.
The Poles were first to capture an Enigma machine and cracked some of the code, but later they made it more complicated. The German Army, Navy and Air Force had different machines and codes. A Royal Navy team recovered one with the code books from a sinking German U Boat. One was recovered by the US Navy. Alan Turing the British mathematician and his team at Bletchley Park cracked the code. Finally the allies were able to read most of the codes and knew of major German plans in advance. The Allied forces had to be very careful not to act in a way which would tip off the Germans that their codes had been cracked. For example, one Atlantic supply convoy was not warned that a U Boat pack was waiting for it. Many ships went down with great loss of life. Going into the water in the North Atlantic or Arctic Oceans meant maximum 30 minutes survival. The rest of the convoy including escort destroyers were not allowed to stop to pick up survivors because the U Boats would torpedo them.

Considering they were allied to Nazis until Hitler betrayed Stalin and their success was down to the help they got from the allies, yes they were spectators pretty much.
So the fact that CONSIDERABLY more Nazi soldiers died in the eastern front compared to western just doesnt bother you that much? Myself, i think that winning the war was a WORLD effort, everyone who was not in the Axis was contibuting, hell, a ton of people that were themselfs from Axis countries even helped the victory, and those all are a small minority (Which i think still must be considered), and you just dare say that THE ENTIRE front was "Just Observing".

@Da_Xman She argues for three different points, within a minute. She goes from Hitler did incredibly well, then transitions over to how the Allies were dependent on everyone helping them, not only generals. Blitzkrieg has nothing to do with the Anchluss, nor the invasion of Czechoslovakia. It wasn't a coined term before the invasion of Poland, which even scolars today agree was very much in line with traditional tactics. Germany was also very much reliant on everyone in the country helping them build. It's not like Hitler was doing everything himself, like this woman implies
@@thomasautonomousanonymous2050 Even if that's true (which it definitely isn't), how does being out of weapons have anything to do with cracking Enigma?
Let’s not forget that if Britain fell in 1940 the US would have happily cosied up to a Hitler-run Europe as they didn’t want a war and even stuck him on the front cover of time magazine as man of the year. Britain declared war to save its ally - Poland, which had no strategic importance. Principles.
It was around 2 1/2 years after Britain and her allies began fighting Germany. And by the way, British (!) submariners captured the first enigma coding machine in early 1942, before the United States even started fighting in the Atlantic, unlike how it was portrayed in the American movie U 571.

What she's pointing out is that Hitler made a really dumb move by going to war with France and then USSR. Britain and France were much more worried about the USSR than they were of Germany purely because of size and the primary reason for them allowing Hitler to get away with Anchluss and the Czech inavasion was to preserve the diplomatic relations in case the USSR attacked Western Europe and they needed Germany's help. It would have basically been a repeat of the Cold War timeline but without a Second World War with the main difference that Germany would remain much more powerful and independant because it would not have been defeated in a World War. Also from the Nazi perspective, they would also have been able to expand their "Lebensraum" into Poland because tensions with the USSR would have given Germany an advantage in the negotiation with the Western Powers. So going to war was pointless anyways. Hilter could have been the next Bismarck instead he blundered into becoming the next Napoleon.

The point was that the Germans punched way above their weight. The Germans did a whole lot with much less. The Americans, on the other hand, had two huge oceans and two very weak neighbors as allies on the boarder. On top of that, the Americans had a whole lot of help from other Europeans that the Germans and their generals did not. Basically, to keep it simple, German generals are playing hard mode when the Allied generals are playing easy mode.

@@malliarosmark It wasn't, they simply spread themselves too thin after trying to conquer USSR. D-Day wouldn't have worked without the help from the soviets. And I absolutely hate both the soviets and nazis btw. Edit: To make an addition to my earlier statement. The nazis essentially held their tank battalions across the coastline, but obviously, the western armies aimed for weakpoints by trying to take Normandy instead of (for example) Calais. Meanwhile, the Nazis couldn't simply move their tanks towards Normandy at such speed... because what if half their invasion army still approach Calais? If they weren't in a war with the Soviets, their logistics in the west would have been better and well... D-Day would have never taken place. It is hard enough to approach the beaches that are armed with coastal defenses already, but if the Germans had involved their tanks in such numbers... well... they were screwed.
No one argues about logistics, and they barely descus it because of how huge an undertaking it would be, most historian's gloss over it. A great example would be the USA vs the Japanese in ww2, now the USA was the most industrial nation at the time it was basically completely motorised and modern, and yet the Japanese were basically a ww1 army yet they did more with less so who had the better system.

"The British HELPED us do that" it was the cooperation between the british, polish and french intelligence bureaus that realy cracked the enigma. later on in the war the americans would also help with decyphering.

@@nicolausg7058Yes, it was the Poles indeed who intially cracked the Enigma code, but it was the British who cracked it when the Germans added another wheel to the Enigma machine.

In a sense it did, that project shows just how much resources the US and allies had. Funding such a project while also building practically all of the arms & kit,airplanes, warboats, trucks, tanks. that the allies used at the same time and a good chunk of what the Russians got through lend lease.
That's not what she's saying. She's just comparing generals on Germany's side to those on America's. She's not talking about them necessarily fighting each other, just their successes
It is strange that her point was to say "everyone contributes, you can't just credit one guy or certain small groups of people in charge" but starts off by giving Hilter full credit for German success and failure.
she dont explain it but she's got a point somehow... lemme explain, all german militray leaders were against a totall war and thought they would be destroyed in weeks, when Hitler was sure their superiror tactic would work, and they will gain great adventage in such a short time that world would be in such a shock they would sue for peace, and tbh he was right, only problem was that handfull of ppl that were in power around the world at the time were just as stuborn as he was and wouldn't accept surrender when any regular leader would even if it meant their nation would starve... also US was rly simpatetic to Nazi Germany in first few years, and was considered an possible ally, which could have had changed the tide of war, cuz in reallity it would kick the brits out of war and close all the fronts except the eastern one, and would literaly make it world against the Soviets, which would still make it a close fight, but i dooubt soviets would have whitstood it even tho few months after Stalingrad it was best war machine world has ever seen... anyhow he was psychological war lord and a rly cocky one, and it rly did pay of untill shits turned on him...Ppl today got no idea how close he was multiple times and tend to say germans were doomed to lose but we should rly thank god things just didn't work our for him...
1. The British cracked enigma. They didn't just help. 2. The Germans also had help from industry. Hitler didn't build tanks in his backyard. 3. The Soviet Union and American industrial might is the single biggest reason the war was won. The Soviet onslaught was brutal.
The British were so desperate for American help after getting their asses kicked that they were close to flying a German plane in to Pearl Harbor themselves just to get it 🤡
No. The enigma code was never actually cracked Though, that's a misconception. Look up Garbo the spy, real name Juan pujol Garcia, a self proclaimed spy from Spain that gained so much trust from the nazi high command that they literally sent him the cipher for the enigma code. Then he just gave the cipher to u.s. intelligence. The brittish refused to even work with this guy at first. They didn't even look his way until AFTER he gave the Americans the cipher. There is a legitimate case to be made that garbo singlehandedly won ww2. He is the reason that nazi general spent weeks staring at blow up dolls instead of reinforcing the beaches of Normandy.
That's all the western studies do nowadays.. they're not unbiased.. they always try to put themselves in highlight even tho they basically fought like 20% of the German army while outnumbering them like 10 to 1

Right. They HELPED the war effort of multiple Allied nations by doing that. THEY HELPED. Just like Australians, Canadians, Jamaicans, Free French, Norwegians, the Polish & French underground, Slavic partisans... and yes, we Americans, ALL helped. It was a collaborative effort. In Sicily, Montgomery railed against Patton going off script. But if it weren't for the Americans doing exactly that, the British would have had a much tougher time getting to Messina. At Normandy, there were 22 American divisions, 12 British divisions, 3 Canadian divisions, 1 Polish division, and 1 Free French division. British scientists were involved with the Manhattan Project (the only Allied nation not involved at all were the Soviets). The US, British, and Australian navies were all instrumental in the war in the Pacific. Even Mexico got in on it, supplying a single squadron of fighters in the invasion of the Philippines, the Aztec Eagles. Out of 38 pilots, 4 died over Luzon. Mexican oil tankers were attacked by a German u-boat in port. We did it together because we couldn't do it aPort. Be proud of what the British did in WWII, by all means. The bombing of London showed a people unwilling to yield. But you didn't fight that war alone, just like the US didn't "save Europe" single-handed.

They did the most before the outbreak of the war. Hitler understood Stalin's chestnut speech well. The two tyrants agreed on the division of spheres of influence and alliance. Thanks to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Hitler was sure that after defeating Polish he would be able to safely focus on France. Both tyrants miscalculated. Hitler thought that after defeating France, he would make peace with England and move against the Soviets. Stalin hoped that there would be a repetition of the Western Front of World War I. Germany and France would bleed to death in trench warfare, and then the Soviets would conquer all of Europe.

As per Enigma - the initial breakthrough and crucial early work was accomplished by Polish mathematicians in the 1930s. Their decision to share this knowledge with allies in 1939 was pivotal in enabling later British success against wartime Enigma encryption.

By scrolling through the comments you can tell these people still call Ribbentrop-Molotov an alliance. There's some poor education about international relations in the interwar period. Noone calls German-polish non-aggression pact from 1934 an alliance nor the naval agreement between UK and Germans of 1935, though one could certainly measure how these kind of capitulations contributed in great deal for Germany to break through international isolation. Noone talks about the Franco-soviet pact (1935) either wich Stalin himself called an anti-german pact though collaborationist, Pierre Laval, had different ideas about it and preferred to make no statements on that topic. Americans, French, British want to take all the glory but in fact, they sold the East and capitulated in negotiations with Germany while delaying or mutilating mutual assistance and collective security in Europe, these can be seen in Czechoslovakia or Abyssinia with great perspective, even Spain. Oh, many examples can be drawn of capitulations in favor of the well-known at the time, nazi colonial project in the East. They just came around when soviet victory was clear for everyone. And many researchers point out that there are still files from foreign office that are not declassified while they are soviet accounts of meetings or activity that day.

Without lend-lease, the Soviets would have just died uselessly.
@@huntery3568 The assertion that Soviet success in World War II was solely due to American Lend-Lease aid is a significant oversimplification. Several key factors contributed to the Soviet victory that refute this claim. Firstly, the Soviet Union's major victories at the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk were pivotal in turning the tide of the war on the Eastern Front. These victories were primarily the result of Soviet strategy, resilience, and sheer manpower, achieved well before Lend-Lease aid reached its peak. The encirclement and defeat of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad and the success in the largest tank battle in history at Kursk highlighted Soviet military capabilities independent of external aid. Secondly, the Soviet Union demonstrated remarkable industrial capacity by relocating much of its industrial base east of the Ural Mountains, out of reach of German bombers. This relocation enabled the Soviet Union to produce vast quantities of war materials, including the highly effective T-34 tank, domestically. This industrial effort was a testament to the Soviet ability to sustain their war effort largely on their own. Thirdly, while Lend-Lease aid from the United States was valuable, it served to supplement rather than substitute Soviet resources. The aid provided essential supplies like trucks and food, but the majority of Soviet military equipment, including tanks, artillery, and small arms, were produced within the Soviet Union. This highlights the supplemental nature of Lend-Lease aid in the overall Soviet war effort. Finally, the immense human sacrifice of the Soviet people played a crucial role in their victory. The Soviet Union suffered over 20 million casualties, more than any other Allied nation. This staggering loss underscores the significant human cost and the determination of the Soviet people to resist and eventually defeat Nazi Germany.
The Soviet Union heavily relied on lend lease to arguably a greater extent than even Britain to survive the war. Everything from food, to material to build tanks and manufacture guns and ammunitions was all reliant on american aid. Few would argue that the Soviet Union does not go out the same way it did in WW1 as it was still on the brink of collapse even after all the american aid
@@nv2695 It is incorrect to claim that the Soviet Union relied on Lend-Lease aid from the United States to a greater extent than Britain for its survival during World War II. The Soviet Union had significant industrial capabilities, enabling it to produce the majority of its tanks, weapons, and ammunition independently. While American Lend-Lease aid, including trucks, locomotives, and food, provided crucial logistical support and sustenance, it was supplementary rather than fundamental to Soviet war efforts. In contrast, Britain also received substantial Lend-Lease support, including aircraft, ships, food, and raw materials. Moreover, the Soviet Union's decisive victories, such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, were achieved largely through its own military strength and strategy. Thus, while Lend-Lease aid was important, the Soviet Union's survival and eventual victory were primarily due to its own resources and efforts.

Germany was miles of everyone, Hitler was in fact his own self biggest enemy, he didn't listen to his generals and his scientists were afraid of him, Werner Heisenberg and his team gave up the nuclear program because if they wasted the already limited resources and time and ended up giving him nothing he would have killed them, so they gave him the the bomb was impossible. he also wasted a lot of his powers helping Italy, a country that was nothing but a burden, if he focused his resources, played his game smarter, bought time to develop the bomb, he would have colonized the whole world
Polish intelligence broke the Enigma codes first , this information was used by British scientists at Bletchley Park to build machines (Bombes) to decode faster.
That was only when they essentially manually brute forced the cipher and guessed right that day. The British team at Bletchley absolutely cracked the cipher and could decipher the code at will, rather than on the off chance
@@matwaters2214 What are you talking about? What chance? The Poles did all the hard work breaking the enigma machine coding principle, then handed everything to the British, because the Germans complicated the code by providing more possible combiations. They didn't have enough funds to produce more bombs and Zygalski sheets needed in decoding process. This is where Turing role starts.
The British helped you crack the codes? No, the British cracked the codes with a lot of help from the Polish. Firat rule of being a RUclips historian, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
As a Pole, it's my national duty to say that the Poles didn't merely "bring out the machines", Polish mathematicians originally figured out how to break the code, and built machines that did it. The Brits took the Polish design and improved it.
@@QuakerPop no we wouldn't. We took Nazi scientists prisoner, and they taught us how to make nuclear bombs. Operation paperclip. The Germans have been and always will be geniuses.

@@leo_wentzel "if we hadn't broken the [enigma] code, which the British helped us do that" sounds like Americans taking credit for a British/Polish achievement to me
@@Arik-2103 it’s really annoying how anyone can try and pick quotes from these chopped up shorts, just stop bro. In the full video in better context you can clearly see what she means.
@@Arik-2103 also, she’s using “we” to mean the allied party. NOT the US. So by saying “we (allied party) cracked the enigma code through the help of the British and polish” she’s just saying on behalf of the allied party they did that. Comprehension.
It's pretty evident this woman has very little knowledge about the details of the war, and because she is speaking with authority, people will believe it.
The Allies were mobilising and the Soviets were annexing everything that bordered them, but the Soviets had cleansed germans so the germans whom fled those lands tended to fuel Hitlers rise to power and had more or less solidified german hatred for the communists just as much as the communists soldified hatred against germans (mostly because germans in Russia were often landowners) So in other words. Germany was bound to have some sort of war in the West and another in the East. So like you say. The lady knows what happens superficially and had drawn much to shallow conclusions from it
Realistically the Russians handled the Germans. The US handled Japan. The British typed up computer code and the French cried. That’s the entire story of WWII
@@bap9416 Realistically, no. You know it wasn't just the Brits, the French, the Soviets and the US vs Germany and Japan, right? A lot of Asian countries were involved too, what do you think they did? Send their troops all around the world to fight in Pforzheim or fight the Japanese right in their own back yard?
Literally no Americans think that, non Americans just say they do for no reason and everybody believes them. I imagine this comes from Americans saying they did certain things which then non Americans take offense to. Each country sacrificed and each country did things on their own. Seriously stop being babies fighting on youtube over who did the most.
ha ha haha, as a german let me say you that italian is here in germany the synonym for remarkably failing whereever and whatever you do while being needed to be saved your as every single time. If you meant the contribution the italians did to the allies by cowardly leaving the sinking ship after seeing the downfall than you are right, the incompetence of italy as an ally really helped america. You cant believe how big the failure of italy was, they just were inable to literally everything. Italy in ww2 is a joke here and if you only say the word italy in relaton to ww2 people begin to smile. (not saying anything about italy now just stating how ww2 italy here is seen in germany)
Italy has a bad reputation. But its soldiers fought well and bravely, it was the leadership that was lacking. In North Africa the Italians often fought well given their circumstances allowed but their equipment and vehicles were garbage. When the British took Italian prisoners, they didn't even care to take their guns away, the Italians literally fought to their last bullet. Italy has a bad habit of selecting officers based on political connections and loyalties instead of actual ability. The invasion of Greece was so botched that even a weak power like Greece had them completely on the run back into Albania, and Germany had to bail them out. The problem wasn't the soldiers, the problem was the generals who thought themselves the inheritors of Rome and had no idea what they were doing.
If we look at the details, that's technically true. Hitler didn't sign any orders to mass execute everyone in 1942. The resources were being sucked up by the eastern front. They got their asses kicked by the Soviets near Moscow. The Soviets launched a long, grueling campaign that steamrolled the Wehrmacht.. Germany needed every able hand to grow food and make things for the war effort.
@@EpochUnlocked Might be. All I know is that millions were killed in concentration camps. The teacher that claimed 'Hitler didn't kill anyone in the concentration camps', said because he wanted to challenge our mind by advancing hopeless claims just when the class were over. He did rise up and left the class room laughing. He was a leftie
@exentr It's a good exercise. Often actions are credited to certain people because they are in charge and bear responsibility for their subordinates. Among the "extermination camps" a couple million from 20 nationalities. I'd chalk up these camps to corrupt/psychotic officers that worshipped their fuhrer. The highest concentration of psychopaths are in the military.
@exentr It is a good exercise. Often, leaders are forced to bear the responsibility for the subordinates' actions. The existence of these death camps that killed a few million from 20 nationalities were a product of psychopaths that worshipped their fuhrer. The highest concentration of psychopaths is in the military. Hitler was going bananas. Suffering from Parkinson disease and PTSD from surviving multiple assassination attempts. There were 40 known plots to assassinate him. He was no more than a puppet by the end of the war.
I think she meant the British helped the overall war effort by helping with breaking the code, makes it a little confusing since she said "we" hadn't broken the codes, but that was the Allied forces "we"... Language is so awful for idea propagation if u think about it.
I really like your explanation. It was all of America that helped in winning World War II. The generals were great leaders in our military, but it was everyone that helped appreciate your explanation. Thank you.
Hitler never built anything. He was presented ideas for everything from the Volkswagen to the Panzer 4 tank to different types of artillery. What took most diplomats days or even weeks to decide, took Hitler only a fraction of a minute.
@@tomben6180 Nope. They cracked it with help of cryptographic bomb created by Rejewski. But problem was they did not have enough those devices to crack more complex versions in reasonable time. Only after British involvement numbers of that devices where enough to maintain constant flow. Then Touring build his machine based on Rejewski designs .
@@marekbarycz4397 Rejewski cracked more primitive versions, and his mathematics were used by Turing’s team, but the Germans had advanced it and the codes were changing constantly. What Rejewski had done wasn’t good enough so Turing’s team at Bletchley Park invented the first computer to crack the codes immediately and 1000’s of them a day. This is like giving Alexander Bell, the man who invented the telephone, total credit for the IPhone.
Hitler was a gambler. When a gambler gambles and wins, people think he's a genius, and when Hitler's gambles paid off, people said exactly that about him. But when his big gambles began to fail, people thought he'd lost his mind or something. He was the same guy all along. That's what tends to happen to gamblers eventually.
That is absurdly oversimplified. He was calculating and a politician to heart, he moved mountains to get done what he wanted. Obviously he was a very bad man but he was an impressive figure non the less.
@@C0verage No he was not. He was a thug, his thinking was stupid, and he got lucky a few times early on. But his overall plan was stupid, the Nazi economy was drowning in debt, and it's insane to spend more than 50% of your economy on the military and then expect to recoup your money by looting other countries. I'm sick of people pushing this "Nazis were bad BUT THEY WERE GENIUSES!" lie.
@@user-cm1pe5fp3o He gambled that the Allies wouldn't stand up to him. If he had been wrong, they could have stomped him early. He guessed right, and people retroactively think he was a genius. But he had no way of being certain which way the Allies would react.

I recently learned about Ford and GM’s reluctance to convert their factories to develop military equipment for the US. They eventually did, but only after lengthy resistance. They also did their best to maximize their sales out of their European factories by selling vehicles and equipment to Germany right up until 1941.
What do you mean ? I actually never realized the alternative where Hitler would stop his conquest little after Munich Agreement where Allies sold Czechoslovakia. It probably really could easily work for him to get a lot of land for nothing.
@@tonnytrumpet734 because it was never the plan. the big call to arms for the nazi party was the destruction of their biggest threat, communism. The plan was to always destroy Russia after amassing its lost territory and its resources needed to take on the ussr. but when the allies got involved after poland and the US getting introduced with the attack on pearl harbor it split his army in half. Also she tries to say Hitler was a single driving force where as everyone had to work together just to match him which is a brain dead thought considering it ignores the axis party, german manufacturing, and generals.
@@tonnytrumpet734couldn’t have possibly worked. Firstly that wasn’t his or the party’s goal. Their ideology wouldn’t allow to simply stop at adding Austria and Slovakia. Secondly, Hitler desperately needed a war to then pay back all the loans he had been taking out, with plundered money/ reparations. A conflict with the soviet union was also basically guaranteed, especially with both parties eying Poland. So there really never was the option to simply stop.
@@tonnytrumpet734That’s because that alternative reality would have to have a Hitler that would be entirely unrecognizable to ours. Hitler was always bent on conquest, colonization and extermination. That’s the whole reason he invaded Poland and started the war in the first place. It’s also the reason why massacres immediately started to happen all across Poland. My point being. Nazi ideology would’ve never allowed such a reality.
People massively underestimate USSR's impact on the war.. It took almost 50% of global casualties. 84% of German casualties were on the Eastern front. Only 5% of the equipment used by the Soviets were from Allied lend lease.
they did not take 50 pct of global casualties, the war killed 64 to 80 million on estimates, the russians highest killed is 8 to 14 million soldiers and 10 million civilians so tell me how 24 million is half of the lowest 64 million deaths? also they survived bc of their allies, lend lease kept their economy from complete collapse, the industrial machines we gave them to build factories in the urals so they had production lines helped massively, stalin was a tyrant who was ready to kill every one of his citizens to keep himself in power and thats what he did.
It also helps that the American factories couldn't be bombed.
Correct. The USA was a powerhouse and was virtually under no threat, so it could churn out machines, weapons and supplies constantly. I agree with what she said, if hitler stopped in the Chez, today would’ve been extremely different.

Then maybe Germany and Japan should have left us alone. But nooo..they had to poke the bear.

The British DID crack the enigma code, they didn't 'help' you with that
Americans u know, just let them think they are the center of attention... ;)
Edit: I see you Americans guys really can't take a joke... I would have though better of you Yanks.
Exactly.
You really think that's the end all of code breaking during the war?
No, it wasn't, America had a woman named Elizabeth Smith Friedman who broke Enigma codes, she'd been doing code breaking for the US government since WW1, nobody knows about her because her records weren't declassified until 2008, 28 years after her death in 1980, she never talked about her role in breaking the Enigma codes during WW2 ever in her later years because she swore an oath of silence until her death.
Among her achievements she broke codes that exposed German spies during the war that made possible their being "turned" and made into double agents, in all her and her team broke over 4,000 Enigma coded messages during the war.
The Poles were first to capture an Enigma machine and cracked some of the code, but later they made it more complicated. The German Army, Navy and Air Force had different machines and codes.
A Royal Navy team recovered one with the code books from a sinking German U Boat. One was recovered by the US Navy. Alan Turing the British mathematician and his team at Bletchley Park cracked the code. Finally the allies were able to read most of the codes and knew of major German plans in advance. The Allied forces had to be very careful not to act in a way which would tip off the Germans that their codes had been cracked. For example, one Atlantic supply convoy was not warned that a U Boat pack was waiting for it. Many ships went down with great loss of life. Going into the water in the North Atlantic or Arctic Oceans meant maximum 30 minutes survival. The rest of the convoy including escort destroyers were not allowed to stop to pick up survivors because the U Boats would torpedo them.
No , you found an enigma in a u boat..liar

Blitzkrieg has nothing to do with the Anchluss, nor the invasion of Czechoslovakia. It wasn't a coined term before the invasion of Poland, which even scolars today agree was very much in line with traditional tactics.
Germany was also very much reliant on everyone in the country helping them build. It's not like Hitler was doing everything himself, like this woman implies

Extremely hot take there.
What she's pointing out is that Hitler made a really dumb move by going to war with France and then USSR. Britain and France were much more worried about the USSR than they were of Germany purely because of size and the primary reason for them allowing Hitler to get away with Anchluss and the Czech inavasion was to preserve the diplomatic relations in case the USSR attacked Western Europe and they needed Germany's help. It would have basically been a repeat of the Cold War timeline but without a Second World War with the main difference that Germany would remain much more powerful and independant because it would not have been defeated in a World War.
Also from the Nazi perspective, they would also have been able to expand their "Lebensraum" into Poland because tensions with the USSR would have given Germany an advantage in the negotiation with the Western Powers. So going to war was pointless anyways. Hilter could have been the next Bismarck instead he blundered into becoming the next Napoleon.

It is very doubtful that any of the ally generals were able to pull off what the German generals were able to pull off. Heck, to prove my point, when was the last time America won a war other than the 1st Gulf War?
@@skatetrooper5285Yeah but i would call the invasion of the soviet stupid in the first place heck maybe even france since eventually the usa would join dday would be bloodier but with aerial dominance they would still win. The german may have good tactic but completely failed strategy.
I get that Russia isn't popular right now, but not mentioning them here was crazy. She's talking about "we" like it was mostly America with an assist from Britain, when Russia killed 2/3rds of all dead German troops.
She is just confirming an old military saying that amateurs argue tactics while professionals are logistics.
Well If I am not mistaken the German logistics were pretty much shit after the blitz.
Right. People are getting way too hung up on the other stuff she was saying.
@@malliarosmark
It wasn't, they simply spread themselves too thin after trying to conquer USSR.
D-Day wouldn't have worked without the help from the soviets.
And I absolutely hate both the soviets and nazis btw.
Edit: To make an addition to my earlier statement.
The nazis essentially held their tank battalions across the coastline, but obviously, the western armies aimed for weakpoints by trying to take Normandy instead of (for example) Calais.
Meanwhile, the Nazis couldn't simply move their tanks towards Normandy at such speed... because what if half their invasion army still approach Calais?
If they weren't in a war with the Soviets, their logistics in the west would have been better and well... D-Day would have never taken place. It is hard enough to approach the beaches that are armed with coastal defenses already, but if the Germans had involved their tanks in such numbers... well... they were screwed.
No one argues about logistics, and they barely descus it because of how huge an undertaking it would be, most historian's gloss over it.
A great example would be the USA vs the Japanese in ww2, now the USA was the most industrial nation at the time it was basically completely motorised and modern, and yet the Japanese were basically a ww1 army yet they did more with less so who had the better system.
yet another Russophobe, not mentioning who defeated 80% of Germans
I didn’t know Hitler built all the tanks, ships, and aircraft plus was the only soldier in the German army. No wonder his generals thought Blitzkrieg wouldn’t work! What a talented guy!
I didn't realize war effort in the biggest conflict on human history required multiple people to help. Very insightful.
Exactly,,,
Really not a fan of RUclips sending me this sham of a person lol
Also, Hitler did not come up with the Blitzkrieg tactic. That was his general Heinz Gudedian. One of the best armor tacticians of that entire war.
He copied the idea from a British Officer - Percy Hobart.

He had the first 3d printer man lol...
I'm sure I read in a few places that it was the generals who were responsible for many of the early victories in France... Hitler was a shitty strategist.. as soon as he took over control in Russia from those generals he made a mess of everything .. a bit of a doughnut lol..
He did however, look for novel approaches such as Blitzkrieg and support their proponents.
At least Germans did not shoot at their own guys to kill the enemies, this was only soviets and americans 🎉😂
"The British HELPED us do that"
it was the cooperation between the british, polish and french intelligence bureaus that realy cracked the enigma. later on in the war the americans would also help with decyphering.
Mostly polish scientists, who already broke the codes. The French and Brits got it already solved, with an extra colies of the Enigma delivered by the polish
Not surprising 😂 The radio waves don't carry across the pond
I felt that too.
Because america can't win a war by thereself
@@nicolausg7058Yes, it was the Poles indeed who intially cracked the Enigma code, but it was the British who cracked it when the Germans added another wheel to the Enigma machine. This was done at Bletchley Park by a team led by Alan Turing, by creating the first proto computer. It was not done by the Americans. The Americans assisted the Brits in terms of resources.

Germany's initial success is also due to their scientists, engineers, and population. No one ever said the war was won by generals. False narrative.

The Manhattan project had nothing to do with Germanys downfall.
In a sense it did, that project shows just how much resources the US and allies had. Funding such a project while also building practically all of the arms & kit,airplanes, warboats, trucks, tanks. that the allies used at the same time and a good chunk of what the Russians got through lend lease.

It did force Japan into surrendering, and kept Russia out of the war in the Pacific and getting a piece of Japan.

It is strange that her point was to say "everyone contributes, you can't just credit one guy or certain small groups of people in charge" but starts off by giving Hilter full credit for German success and failure.
She's being disingenuous IMO. She gives Hitler a ton of credit though. Whose side is she on?
So, after listening twice, I heard something a bit different.
It takes a team to win, but one bad leader to lose.
she dont explain it but she's got a point somehow... lemme explain, all german militray leaders were against a totall war and thought they would be destroyed in weeks, when Hitler was sure their superiror tactic would work, and they will gain great adventage in such a short time that world would be in such a shock they would sue for peace, and tbh he was right, only problem was that handfull of ppl that were in power around the world at the time were just as stuborn as he was and wouldn't accept surrender when any regular leader would even if it meant their nation would starve... also US was rly simpatetic to Nazi Germany in first few years, and was considered an possible ally, which could have had changed the tide of war, cuz in reallity it would kick the brits out of war and close all the fronts except the eastern one, and would literaly make it world against the Soviets, which would still make it a close fight, but i dooubt soviets would have whitstood it even tho few months after Stalingrad it was best war machine world has ever seen... anyhow he was psychological war lord and a rly cocky one, and it rly did pay of untill shits turned on him...Ppl today got no idea how close he was multiple times and tend to say germans were doomed to lose but we should rly thank god things just didn't work our for him...

No. The enigma code was never actually cracked Though, that's a misconception. Look up Garbo the spy, real name Juan pujol Garcia, a self proclaimed spy from Spain that gained so much trust from the nazi high command that they literally sent him the cipher for the enigma code. Then he just gave the cipher to u.s. intelligence. The brittish refused to even work with this guy at first. They didn't even look his way until AFTER he gave the Americans the cipher. There is a legitimate case to be made that garbo singlehandedly won ww2. He is the reason that nazi general spent weeks staring at blow up dolls instead of reinforcing the beaches of Normandy.
Actually, the atomic bomb did not end the war in Europe.
Astonished how she avoided any mention of Soviet Union
Don’t listen to this woman!! She’s always biased and doesn’t tell history as it is.
That's all the western studies do nowadays.. they're not unbiased.. they always try to put themselves in highlight even tho they basically fought like 20% of the German army while outnumbering them like 10 to 1

I will assume that was because the clip was too short.
Mud, dark winters, frigid temps, the capitalist railroads and steel mills. 22 million tons of supplies from the west and millions of Russian men. Boots ponchos food etc.
“The British helped us do that”….. The British DID THAT!
She probably believes what she is saying, Britain helped in the Manhattan project but breaking the Enigma code was a massive undertaking even with the Polish input.
The industry in America was a huge winner for the Allies but make no mistake Britain paid for every item they received - it wasn't a gift.
Fun fact. An born in India British man INVENTED the blitzkrieg based off mongol tactics. Major General Percy "Hobo" Hobart. Fat electrician video tells his amazing story.
And if you look into it we british back then invented so so many military items like flail tanks and aircraft carriers and the landing lights they still use. We did a lot back then. @@poppaleggansquat3640
Right. They HELPED the war effort of multiple Allied nations by doing that. THEY HELPED. Just like Australians, Canadians, Jamaicans, Free French, Norwegians, the Polish & French underground, Slavic partisans... and yes, we Americans, ALL helped. It was a collaborative effort.
In Sicily, Montgomery railed against Patton going off script. But if it weren't for the Americans doing exactly that, the British would have had a much tougher time getting to Messina.
At Normandy, there were 22 American divisions, 12 British divisions, 3 Canadian divisions, 1 Polish division, and 1 Free French division.
British scientists were involved with the Manhattan Project (the only Allied nation not involved at all were the Soviets).
The US, British, and Australian navies were all instrumental in the war in the Pacific. Even Mexico got in on it, supplying a single squadron of fighters in the invasion of the Philippines, the Aztec Eagles. Out of 38 pilots, 4 died over Luzon.
Mexican oil tankers were attacked by a German u-boat in port.
We did it together because we couldn't do it aPort.
Be proud of what the British did in WWII, by all means. The bombing of London showed a people unwilling to yield. But you didn't fight that war alone, just like the US didn't "save Europe" single-handed.
Obviously she meant that ww2 was shortened by the British code breaking. Duh
The Manhattan project wasn't used to defeat Hitler. He was already dead when the bomb was dropped.
Yeah, because it scared him to death before they dropped it on him. Duh.
Nazis were working on the bomb. uneducated
If you watched the full video you would realize this video is more than just about germany.
It may not have been used as such, but it was certainly designed for that purpose.
The manhattans project and Soviet equivalent are derived from the German research and development taken out of German when Italy fell. Also, the war would’ve happened anyway contrary to what the woman said because it’s preplanned. H ending the Reichsbank and making Red Shield J’s clean the toilet was the point of no return
Very smart person. And I also love she explain things.
I would spend hours listening to a friend that talks like her.
It's amazing how Hitler managed to train his para troopers, for soldiers pilots, mechanized troops and built all their equipment in his back yard. All this and still had time to make all those speeches and organized a political movement.
The Bushes and Rothschilds actually organized the political side. Just saying!
Ugh.... That's not what she was saying. The video is obviously edited to make it look like all her points are directly correlated. Are you so thick you can't deduce that?
Along with the fact that the Soviet Union was also getting ready for war since Stalin came to power.

@@RAEJDERNo they smoked 85 % of the Nazis !
They did the most before the outbreak of the war. Hitler understood Stalin's chestnut speech well. The two tyrants agreed on the division of spheres of influence and alliance. Thanks to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Hitler was sure that after defeating Polish he would be able to safely focus on France. Both tyrants miscalculated. Hitler thought that after defeating France, he would make peace with England and move against the Soviets. Stalin hoped that there would be a repetition of the Western Front of World War I. Germany and France would bleed to death in trench warfare, and then the Soviets would conquer all of Europe.

@freddie-jz3vg who supplied the soviets and other allies throughout the war? America. Not saying america did everything in Europe (they did everything in the pacific) but for sure was the main factor on the western front. You really think Britain could've invaded Normandy alone lol?
Imagine wanting so badly to hate americans that you can’t comprehend the idea of someone saying “us” in reference to the Allied powers. Sad people.
As per Enigma - the initial breakthrough and crucial early work was accomplished by Polish mathematicians in the 1930s. Their decision to share this knowledge with allies in 1939 was pivotal in enabling later British success against wartime Enigma encryption.
'If people didn't fight the war, he would have been unstoppable'
Amen 🙏
Nah she's saying many people CHOSE to help the allies. Nazis did not have a chose

Yeah Hitler didn't have scientists, code makers, and strategists to help him he did it all by himself 😂
I really don't think that was her point. Some leaders are very quick to forget why they're where they are. Those that do remember, we hold as heroes.

Hitler meddled with those factors to make them ineffective. He sent his armies into Russia without any winter coats.
You can't help but intentionally missunderstand
@patrickmilton7065 I don't believe anyone said he was stupid. Other words are used like heartless, racist, soulless, a narcissist maybe or worse.
So... Hitler didn't have generals, soldiers, planes, tanks, or submarines? He went and took all that land by himself?
No but he put it together. Unfortunately he brought Germany from a broken nation to the most powerful nation in Europe. A leaders ability is coordinating others to do a task
I've watched a lot of these videos. Finally subscribed today.
She forgot to mention Russians.
Russians played a significant role in winning the war, conquering Berlin, and winning some of the biggest battles while also suffering the biggest losses against Hitler's army. Additionally, throughout the war, the entire German Army was primarily focused on the eastern front.
They also didn't have to fight the Japanese China, the US, and Australia handled that. Last time Russia fought just the Japanese, they lost, if we hadn't sent raw materials and arms, they lose, Stalin was worse than Hitler, you have the same problem as Roosevelt, a man crush on Stalin

By scrolling through the comments you can tell these people still call Ribbentrop-Molotov an alliance. There's some poor education about international relations in the interwar period. Noone calls German-polish non-aggression pact from 1934 an alliance nor the naval agreement between UK and Germans of 1935, though one could certainly measure how these kind of capitulations contributed in great deal for Germany to break through international isolation. Noone talks about the Franco-soviet pact (1935) either wich Stalin himself called an anti-german pact though collaborationist, Pierre Laval, had different ideas about it and preferred to make no statements on that topic. Americans, French, British want to take all the glory but in fact, they sold the East and capitulated in negotiations with Germany while delaying or mutilating mutual assistance and collective security in Europe, these can be seen in Czechoslovakia or Abyssinia with great perspective, even Spain. Oh, many examples can be drawn of capitulations in favor of the well-known at the time, nazi colonial project in the East. They just came around when soviet victory was clear for everyone. And many researchers point out that there are still files from foreign office that are not declassified while they are soviet accounts of meetings or activity that day.

If USA had to fight the Germans in a ground fight against the army that were sent to stop Soviets, they would loose, at that time the most powerful army in ground battle was Germany without a doubt, in a 1v1 they won easily or with medium difficulty due to their high qualified commanders and technology. So the war would have ended with a peace between the Germans and USA since if I'm not wrong the USA had a better fleet to avoid a naval invasion and they cannot win against Germany in ground even with the help of Brits and other countries if we consider that Germany didn't sent soldiers to stop Russia if she's wasn't involved in war

Without lend-lease, the Soviets would have just died uselessly.
@@huntery3568 bros mad the Russians did more to save the western world than the U.S..... gotta hurt
@@huntery3568 The assertion that Soviet success in World War II was solely due to American Lend-Lease aid is a significant oversimplification. Several key factors contributed to the Soviet victory that refute this claim.
Firstly, the Soviet Union's major victories at the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk were pivotal in turning the tide of the war on the Eastern Front. These victories were primarily the result of Soviet strategy, resilience, and sheer manpower, achieved well before Lend-Lease aid reached its peak. The encirclement and defeat of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad and the success in the largest tank battle in history at Kursk highlighted Soviet military capabilities independent of external aid.
Secondly, the Soviet Union demonstrated remarkable industrial capacity by relocating much of its industrial base east of the Ural Mountains, out of reach of German bombers. This relocation enabled the Soviet Union to produce vast quantities of war materials, including the highly effective T-34 tank, domestically. This industrial effort was a testament to the Soviet ability to sustain their war effort largely on their own.
Thirdly, while Lend-Lease aid from the United States was valuable, it served to supplement rather than substitute Soviet resources. The aid provided essential supplies like trucks and food, but the majority of Soviet military equipment, including tanks, artillery, and small arms, were produced within the Soviet Union. This highlights the supplemental nature of Lend-Lease aid in the overall Soviet war effort.
Finally, the immense human sacrifice of the Soviet people played a crucial role in their victory. The Soviet Union suffered over 20 million casualties, more than any other Allied nation. This staggering loss underscores the significant human cost and the determination of the Soviet people to resist and eventually defeat Nazi Germany.
The Soviet Union heavily relied on lend lease to arguably a greater extent than even Britain to survive the war. Everything from food, to material to build tanks and manufacture guns and ammunitions was all reliant on american aid. Few would argue that the Soviet Union does not go out the same way it did in WW1 as it was still on the brink of collapse even after all the american aid
@@nv2695 It is incorrect to claim that the Soviet Union relied on Lend-Lease aid from the United States to a greater extent than Britain for its survival during World War II. The Soviet Union had significant industrial capabilities, enabling it to produce the majority of its tanks, weapons, and ammunition independently. While American Lend-Lease aid, including trucks, locomotives, and food, provided crucial logistical support and sustenance, it was supplementary rather than fundamental to Soviet war efforts. In contrast, Britain also received substantial Lend-Lease support, including aircraft, ships, food, and raw materials. Moreover, the Soviet Union's decisive victories, such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, were achieved largely through its own military strength and strategy. Thus, while Lend-Lease aid was important, the Soviet Union's survival and eventual victory were primarily due to its own resources and efforts.

Agreed. He committed horrific crimes (concentration camps, Nuremberg laws, political rival executions, breaches of the treaty of Versailles) prior to ww2 and it would have eventually caught up to him
Completely ignores the Red Army, (speaking of hubris).
@@sdfsdf23232dsfsdfwould the concentration camps ‘caught up’ to him without him starting a war. Would anyone of power in Germany have been willing to stand up to Hitler regarding his treatment of Jews?
Even more impressive that Hitler managed to build the first jets and rockets while also building tanks, factories, buildings, and more. Truly the most overworked man in history.
That's why he was so pissed off...
He came up from the streets of Vienna, built Germany by himself, personally crushed France, and nearly took Moscow. Imagine if he had people helping him lol
you not getting the point, the point is that Hitler leading only the Germans to come up with these inventions without the help of other nations, even the Manhattan project idea for a nuclear weapon was based on a scientific paper written by a German.
most of the tech used later by the allies were them trying to copy the Germans, even breaking the Enigma breakthrough wasn't possible if they didn't get their hand on the machine from a sinking boat.
Germany was miles of everyone, Hitler was in fact his own self biggest enemy, he didn't listen to his generals and his scientists were afraid of him, Werner Heisenberg and his team gave up the nuclear program because if they wasted the already limited resources and time and ended up giving him nothing he would have killed them, so they gave him the the bomb was impossible.
he also wasted a lot of his powers helping Italy, a country that was nothing but a burden, if he focused his resources, played his game smarter, bought time to develop the bomb, he would have colonized the whole world
Polish intelligence broke the Enigma codes first , this information was used by British scientists at Bletchley Park to build machines (Bombes) to decode faster.
That was only when they essentially manually brute forced the cipher and guessed right that day.
The British team at Bletchley absolutely cracked the cipher and could decipher the code at will, rather than on the off chance
@@matwaters2214 What are you talking about? What chance? The Poles did all the hard work breaking the enigma machine coding principle, then handed everything to the British, because the Germans complicated the code by providing more possible combiations. They didn't have enough funds to produce more bombs and Zygalski sheets needed in decoding process. This is where Turing role starts.
@@matwaters2214 That was not the case
The British helped you crack the codes? No, the British cracked the codes with a lot of help from the Polish.
Firat rule of being a RUclips historian, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
The British didn’t help the Americans break the Enigma code. They DID break the code
Revisionist history, even from ‘experts’
…scratch that, especially from ‘experts’
I said the exact same thing in another comment moments ago😂😂😂
As a Pole, it's my national duty to say that the Poles didn't merely "bring out the machines", Polish mathematicians originally figured out how to break the code, and built machines that did it. The Brits took the Polish design and improved it.
I think she meant that the British helped the Americans BY breaking the code, I don’t think she meant that the US broke the code
Nope America did
Had Hitler stayed away from Russia we would all be living in Germany now.
How does it make sense? It would be Germany contained in central Europe and they still can not even hope beating US into submission.
Stalin was going to attack Germany anyway. The result would have been the same
You say that like its a bad thing. As if that wouldn't be ideal compared to the shit hole the world is today
No. We still would have invented the bomb and used it
@@QuakerPop no we wouldn't. We took Nazi scientists prisoner, and they taught us how to make nuclear bombs. Operation paperclip. The Germans have been and always will be geniuses.
She makes it sound like the Americans were the main force in breaking the Enigma code… Americans really have to take credit for everything!
@Swissswoosher I didn't get that impression at all, and I'm not American.
When did she say that at all? In full context she says the British helped by cracking the code. People talk a lot about the American education system yet seem to lack basic comprehension 🤦♂️
@@leo_wentzel "if we hadn't broken the [enigma] code, which the British helped us do that"
sounds like Americans taking credit for a British/Polish achievement to me
@@Arik-2103 it’s really annoying how anyone can try and pick quotes from these chopped up shorts, just stop bro. In the full video in better context you can clearly see what she means.
@@Arik-2103 also, she’s using “we” to mean the allied party. NOT the US. So by saying “we (allied party) cracked the enigma code through the help of the British and polish” she’s just saying on behalf of the allied party they did that. Comprehension.
@DwarkeshPatel I’m pretty new to your channel but it’s awesome! Great quality. Great content.
It's pretty evident this woman has very little knowledge about the details of the war, and because she is speaking with authority, people will believe it.
The Allies were mobilising and the Soviets were annexing everything that bordered them, but the Soviets had cleansed germans so the germans whom fled those lands tended to fuel Hitlers rise to power and had more or less solidified german hatred for the communists just as much as the communists soldified hatred against germans (mostly because germans in Russia were often landowners)
So in other words.
Germany was bound to have some sort of war in the West and another in the East.
So like you say.
The lady knows what happens superficially and had drawn much to shallow conclusions from it
Proof?
@@xSWlMx proof of what?
@@oliverhughes610 dude. She had one minute to talk about world war II do you think that she's going to tell you everything that happened?
How is it obvious?
"The British helped us with that" is a funny way of saying "The British did that"
Also neglecting to mention that Henry Ford is the reason why Germany was able to expand their army so quickly
Americans doing American things 😂
Love how Americans think they single handily won the war 😂
Realistically the Russians handled the Germans. The US handled Japan. The British typed up computer code and the French cried. That’s the entire story of WWII
@@bap9416 Realistically, no. You know it wasn't just the Brits, the French, the Soviets and the US vs Germany and Japan, right? A lot of Asian countries were involved too, what do you think they did? Send their troops all around the world to fight in Pforzheim or fight the Japanese right in their own back yard?
Kid named Supreme Commander of the Allies, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Nobody i know thinks that
Literally no Americans think that, non Americans just say they do for no reason and everybody believes them. I imagine this comes from Americans saying they did certain things which then non Americans take offense to. Each country sacrificed and each country did things on their own. Seriously stop being babies fighting on youtube over who did the most.
As usual, Sarah, Prof. Paine is just excellent.
As an Italian I would like to remind you how much our contribution (or, more precisely, the lack of it) helped you winning WW2.
ha ha haha, as a german let me say you that italian is here in germany the synonym for remarkably failing whereever and whatever you do while being needed to be saved your as every single time. If you meant the contribution the italians did to the allies by cowardly leaving the sinking ship after seeing the downfall than you are right, the incompetence of italy as an ally really helped america. You cant believe how big the failure of italy was, they just were inable to literally everything. Italy in ww2 is a joke here and if you only say the word italy in relaton to ww2 people begin to smile. (not saying anything about italy now just stating how ww2 italy here is seen in germany)
Yeah, but you gave the world spaghetti...when you've done that, you've done enough.
The Italian war fighters were a joke. Cowards, lack of organization, and shinning boots for for the Germans.
Italy has a bad reputation. But its soldiers fought well and bravely, it was the leadership that was lacking. In North Africa the Italians often fought well given their circumstances allowed but their equipment and vehicles were garbage. When the British took Italian prisoners, they didn't even care to take their guns away, the Italians literally fought to their last bullet.
Italy has a bad habit of selecting officers based on political connections and loyalties instead of actual ability. The invasion of Greece was so botched that even a weak power like Greece had them completely on the run back into Albania, and Germany had to bail them out. The problem wasn't the soldiers, the problem was the generals who thought themselves the inheritors of Rome and had no idea what they were doing.
Yeah, the way they aligned with the winning side and suddenly switched over when it became the losing side is remarkable. 😂
I was told in school ''Hitler didn't kill people in the concentration camps'. He must have been busy building marine vessels, airoplanes and tanks
😂😂😂
If we look at the details, that's technically true. Hitler didn't sign any orders to mass execute everyone in 1942. The resources were being sucked up by the eastern front. They got their asses kicked by the Soviets near Moscow. The Soviets launched a long, grueling campaign that steamrolled the Wehrmacht.. Germany needed every able hand to grow food and make things for the war effort.
@@EpochUnlocked Might be. All I know is that millions were killed in concentration camps.
The teacher that claimed 'Hitler didn't kill anyone in the concentration camps', said because he wanted to challenge our mind by advancing hopeless claims just when the class were over. He did rise up and left the class room laughing. He was a leftie
@exentr It's a good exercise.
Often actions are credited to certain people because they are in charge and bear responsibility for their subordinates.
Among the "extermination camps" a couple million from 20 nationalities.
I'd chalk up these camps to corrupt/psychotic officers that worshipped their fuhrer. The highest concentration of psychopaths are in the military.
@exentr It is a good exercise. Often, leaders are forced to bear the responsibility for the subordinates' actions.
The existence of these death camps that killed a few million from 20 nationalities were a product of psychopaths that worshipped their fuhrer. The highest concentration of psychopaths is in the military. Hitler was going bananas. Suffering from Parkinson disease and PTSD from surviving multiple assassination attempts. There were 40 known plots to assassinate him. He was no more than a puppet by the end of the war.
“The British helped us with that” lady we didn’t help, we completely cracked it without you guys knowing
And you never mentioned polish part in that
I believe she means the Brit’s helped with the war effort by cracking the code
Nope I rewatched it and she 100% makes it sound like the british helped us crack it
I think she meant the British helped the overall war effort by helping with breaking the code, makes it a little confusing since she said "we" hadn't broken the codes, but that was the Allied forces "we"... Language is so awful for idea propagation if u think about it.
And the War would have been won by the allies without the US if they didn't join anyways. Americans are so full of themselves.
I really like your explanation. It was all of America that helped in winning World War II. The generals were great leaders in our military, but it was everyone that helped appreciate your explanation. Thank you.
Guys Hitler built Volkswagens all on his own.
That was pre-war,
Not sure that's entirely true?
@@kevinbergin9971 They still have the initial sketch Hitler did himself. "It should look like a bug."
Vw the infamous war machines of ww2
Hitler never built anything. He was presented ideas for everything from the Volkswagen to the Panzer 4 tank to different types of artillery. What took most diplomats days or even weeks to decide, took Hitler only a fraction of a minute.
Poles didn't only bring the enigma. They did break the code of the first versions of enigma. This is a very common misrepresentation.
Yep, alan turing quite literally invented the programmable computer in order to do
But they didn’t break the newer version that was much more crucial, the British did that.
@@Jeffler3000 Nope he perfected cryptographic bomb created by Rejewski ...
@@tomben6180 Nope. They cracked it with help of cryptographic bomb created by Rejewski. But problem was they did not have enough those devices to crack more complex versions in reasonable time. Only after British involvement numbers of that devices where enough to maintain constant flow. Then Touring build his machine based on Rejewski designs .
@@marekbarycz4397 Rejewski cracked more primitive versions, and his mathematics were used by Turing’s team, but the Germans had advanced it and the codes were changing constantly. What Rejewski had done wasn’t good enough so Turing’s team at Bletchley Park invented the first computer to crack the codes immediately and 1000’s of them a day.
This is like giving Alexander Bell, the man who invented the telephone, total credit for the IPhone.
Hitler was a gambler. When a gambler gambles and wins, people think he's a genius, and when Hitler's gambles paid off, people said exactly that about him. But when his big gambles began to fail, people thought he'd lost his mind or something. He was the same guy all along. That's what tends to happen to gamblers eventually.
That is absurdly oversimplified. He was calculating and a politician to heart, he moved mountains to get done what he wanted. Obviously he was a very bad man but he was an impressive figure non the less.
@@C0verage No he was not. He was a thug, his thinking was stupid, and he got lucky a few times early on. But his overall plan was stupid, the Nazi economy was drowning in debt, and it's insane to spend more than 50% of your economy on the military and then expect to recoup your money by looting other countries. I'm sick of people pushing this "Nazis were bad BUT THEY WERE GENIUSES!" lie.
"It was a pure luck!! 🤓📢🚩⚒️"
@@user-cm1pe5fp3o He gambled that the Allies wouldn't stand up to him. If he had been wrong, they could have stomped him early. He guessed right, and people retroactively think he was a genius. But he had no way of being certain which way the Allies would react.
Hitler is the conor mcgregor of wars
Hitler used to do after dinner speaking as a side hustle

If everything was different would it be different is what she said. Please dont take it out of context unless you want to think 'well if it werent the same would it be different?' and then overlay that with if it were all changed would it be different. Well yes it would Ms 2 brain cells.
@@LeePatrick-wc3cdno way 😅
@gabbymcgibson984 you should see some of her other ideas...
I recently learned about Ford and GM’s reluctance to convert their factories to develop military equipment for the US. They eventually did, but only after lengthy resistance. They also did their best to maximize their sales out of their European factories by selling vehicles and equipment to Germany right up until 1941.
I believe they also sued the US after the war for the damage to their property in Germany.
Oh my god, in Europe every 12 year old learned knows more about ww2 than this lady
why not share your insight then instead of just being an asshole
Not really
Yea no
He meant it's in the school program.. so it should have been like "every 12 yo have the opportunity to learn about the World Wars"..
@@Bouquites absolutely yes
That’s the beauty of it. We aren’t forced to help, we feel compelled to help.
This woman said absolutely nothing of substance. Wow.
What do you mean ? I actually never realized the alternative where Hitler would stop his conquest little after Munich Agreement where Allies sold Czechoslovakia. It probably really could easily work for him to get a lot of land for nothing.
@@tonnytrumpet734 because it was never the plan. the big call to arms for the nazi party was the destruction of their biggest threat, communism. The plan was to always destroy Russia after amassing its lost territory and its resources needed to take on the ussr. but when the allies got involved after poland and the US getting introduced with the attack on pearl harbor it split his army in half. Also she tries to say Hitler was a single driving force where as everyone had to work together just to match him which is a brain dead thought considering it ignores the axis party, german manufacturing, and generals.
@@tonnytrumpet734couldn’t have possibly worked. Firstly that wasn’t his or the party’s goal. Their ideology wouldn’t allow to simply stop at adding Austria and Slovakia. Secondly, Hitler desperately needed a war to then pay back all the loans he had been taking out, with plundered money/ reparations.
A conflict with the soviet union was also basically guaranteed, especially with both parties eying Poland.
So there really never was the option to simply stop.
@@tonnytrumpet734That’s because that alternative reality would have to have a Hitler that would be entirely unrecognizable to ours. Hitler was always bent on conquest, colonization and extermination. That’s the whole reason he invaded Poland and started the war in the first place. It’s also the reason why massacres immediately started to happen all across Poland.
My point being. Nazi ideology would’ve never allowed such a reality.
Thats what happens when you take segments of a video and watch them without any context about what its talking about
People massively underestimate USSR's impact on the war.. It took almost 50% of global casualties. 84% of German casualties were on the Eastern front. Only 5% of the equipment used by the Soviets were from Allied lend lease.
Nah it's just the Americans who are thoroughly brainwashed everyone else understands that Russia won ww2
Skill issue
losing the most people seems like a massive skill issue
they did not take 50 pct of global casualties, the war killed 64 to 80 million on estimates, the russians highest killed is 8 to 14 million soldiers and 10 million civilians so tell me how 24 million is half of the lowest 64 million deaths? also they survived bc of their allies, lend lease kept their economy from complete collapse, the industrial machines we gave them to build factories in the urals so they had production lines helped massively, stalin was a tyrant who was ready to kill every one of his citizens to keep himself in power and thats what he did.
Both of you here are ignorants with no respect for the fallen. Were it not for them you would be speaking german now.
