      @@KingsandGenerals While I also do appreciate the nice 3d animations you got going on, there really need to be more detailed maps. Showing cities, attack routes, MSR's, and the sites of the major battles. Rather than just moving around the unlabeled icons, why not use the standard NATO symbols for echelons/units and keep them labeled accordingly. Would make the entire viewing much more easier to follow.

    The key to the initial Egyptian success was the lightly mentioned water pumps used to cut paths thru the sand dune banks. The IDF "knew" that it took 48 hours to cut a path with bulldozers and counted on that time to mobilize. An Egyptian BG irrigating his garden with a hose thought that it might be faster if they used large pumps and fire hoses and he was right - it took only 8 hours. Thus the IDF lost 40 hours of planned mobilization time

    If I had had access to such quality educational materials (and the internet), I don't think I would have hated history so much. In the past, it always felt like I just had to memorize a series of chronological events. This video helped me to understand the motivations, and also gives me some history on names I've always known, but didn't understand why they were famous.

    • @teejayaich4306
      @teejayaich4306 Год назад +7

      Couldn't agree more. When people say they think history is "boring" it's almost always that they had a boring (or simply insufficiently supported and equipped) teacher... I tell them "history is everything that every happened anywhere until the moment you read/hear what i'm saying" - but as you say if you just get a list of names, dates, and places, without any stories or context to add color, it not only makes that specific course boring, but often puts people off history permanently, when history is essential for understanding the present and future.

      Egypt won .. there's no barlive line .. Sinai is Egyptian land ..
      The Egyptian army forces in the Sinai were 100 km from Tel Aviv and 90 km from Jerusalem. This is the result of Egypt's victory in the Yom Kippur War, which forced Israel to return Sinai to Egypt, insisting on the Israeli lie that their army won the Yom Kippur War and that it was 100 km from Cairo in the Yom Kippur War. Of course, they take advantage of people's lack of knowledge of distances. Because the distance from the Suez Canal to the outskirts of Cairo is about 100 kilometers, originally.

      For both sides the forces engaged were smaller than is at first apparent, reduced by cross deployments and attrition. For example the Israelis fought with only 5 small armoured divisions even after reserves were called up, though other units came south following the Golan defeat of the Arabs. The crossing of the canal was by a single reduced battalion of paratroopers. Vitally, the Israelis had always planned a canal crossing and trained accordingly, also they had acquired and prepared special bridging equipment, like the roller bridge towed by tanks. Their divisions were about the size of a NATO style brigade, their tank brigades the size roughly of a British army tank regiment after the reduction process of cross attachments and losses. On both sides there was a tendency to disperse forces into smaller 'packets' though high mobility on the Israeli side masked this

    The Egyptian offensive on the 14th was launched despite the vehement objections of the Egyptian Chief of Staff, General Saed Al-Shazli. As he had forseen, Egyptian armor, now outside of the defensive AA net, was outmaneuvered by the IDF in the open desert and destroyed. Moreover, despite Al-Shazly's objections, the units utilized in the offensive were pulled from the armor reserves of the 2 armies, and attacked along 3 diffrent routes at the same time instead of concentrating their efforts.
    As an Israeli - General Al-Shazly was very well respected by the Israelis as a military mind, one of the few competent Egyptian commanders, even through the fiasco of the Six Day War. One of several military appointees by Saadat to the upper echelon of Egyptian command, designed to replace the overly potisized and largely incompetent officer corp brough there by Nasser and Amer. The canal crossing plan, with it's multiple factors, complicated time table and strategic intelligence deceptions - in particular, regarding the water cannons, that the Israelis utterly failed to comprehend the importance of - is credited to him.

    First of all I'd like to say that this channel was already good and it's getting better and better! The comment section isn't a burning hell like a battle field and that's great too (at least what I saw).
    I'd like to add few informations about the Algerian military reinforcements and feat in battle:
    50 aircrafts (MIG17, 21,Su7),96 tanks, 12 artillery canons, 16 anti-aircraft canons, 32 armored vehicles and about 3119 men (officers and troopers). Algerian army was present during the war with its 8th armored division.
    One of the biggest victories of Algerian forces was the victory of the port of 'adabiya', where they were tasked by the Egyptian HQ to guard it, the general Eli Azar lost during a well established counter offensive from algerians. He said on the year of 73 "what happened at adabiya was a result of overconfidence and a big underestimating of Algerian military forces by general Ariel Sharon" since Sharon ordered Azar to lead the offensive. Israel lost 172 tanks and 900 men. This victory was also a result and a proof of good intelligence work and disinformation from the allied side.
    Sources : Algerian and Egyptian military archives.
    The book of '' The Yom Kippur war, the Arab Israeli war of 1973"
    Audio archive of the testimony of General Eli Azar.

    Not everyone in Egypt believed that Anwar Sadat won the war since he was assassinated for what they deemed as a humiliating peace with Israel.
    Similarly Sadat's motivations for entering the war were not so cut and dry to seek peace. Soviet archives suggest that Anwar Sadat was extremely war hungry and had unrealistic expectations of the war until it was already certain that the third army was encircled; for example, his discussion with Syria indicated that he would continue an offensive after they had captured the Golan which they failed to do (that's not to take away from his monumental future efforts to make peace with Israel).

    Generally accurate with one glaring error. "Parachutists" are people, usually civilians who enjoy skydiving for fun. "Paratroops" are airborne infantry, even if they are inserted via truck or helicopter or even on foot.

      "By deception we war" - That's the Mossed motto and Israelis never "talk" big for no reason it was just a deception move to talk this way so Egypt will fear attacking the line, By the end Egyptian leaders only planned the attack on the Line but didn't plan how to penetrate into the Sinai itself, Maybe out of surprise how they "broke" so fast the defense and now stumbled what to do next.

      By the end of the war, the Israelis had advanced to positions some 101 kilometres from Egypt's capital, Cairo, and occupied 1,600 square kilometres west of the Suez Canal.[242] They had also cut the Cairo-Suez road and encircled the bulk of Egypt's Third Army. The Israelis had also taken many prisoners after Egyptian soldiers, including many officers, began surrendering in masses towards the end of the war.[243] The Egyptians held a narrow strip on the east bank of the canal, occupying some 1,200 square kilometres of the Sinai.[243] One source estimated that the Egyptians had 70,000 men, 720 tanks and 994 artillery pieces on the east bank of the canal.[244] However, 30,000 to 45,000 of them were now encircled by the Israelis
