    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

      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.

    For people who claim "the main objective of the war for Egypt was to get troops to cross the canal and hold ground on the other bank in order to start negotiations therefore Egypt won":
    In that case Egypt lost, because Israel crossed the Canal and were 1,600km^2 away from Cairo. Should the UN did not ring the bell, Egypt would have been pushed entirely out of Sinai and even lose more territory.

      I have a feeling that you guys are all programmed to repeat the ''100 km away from Cairo'' statement, thinking of it as a great achievement, without understanding the situation. Do you know that the Egyptian army right now is almost 100 km away from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as it stands at Rafah?
      After the counter-attack, as the IDF managed to cross the Suez canal to occupy its western bank, it received double defeats in Suez city and Ismailia and failed to occupy them and was forced to be stationed on the south-western side of the Suez canal, which is ''100 km away from Cairo''.
      On the other hand, the Egyptian army managed to occupy the whole eastern side of the Suez canal after the crossing and the destruction of the Bar-Lev line, which remained occupied by the Egyptian army until the end of the war, with exception of the Deversoir air base.

    I was stationed in Berlin when this war broke out and that, ironically was the week my truck arrived in Bremerhaven. There was a lot of speculation that the Russians would stop the duty train from Berlin to Frankfurt and Bremerhaven. I distinctly remember driving up the 110 mile autobahn corridor and seeing massive tank maneuvers all along that corridor.

    Funny to see how we debate on who won this war. Each side accuses the other side’s ego for preventing them from seeing the "truth", which is "of course" that our side won and the other side lost.
    But the truth is war is dreadful. As much as videos like this are fun to watch, the war itself is far from fun to participate. People died. Families were broken. Survivors are still walking among us bearing traumas. Mothers in both Cairo and Jerusalem were devastated losing their dearest regardless of how "victorious" their side came out of this war.
    We should be grateful that was the last major conflict between the two countries and hope for ever lasting peace on both sides of the Sinai desert

    For an Egyptian account check out that of Shazli, the chief of staff (gives a clear order of battle for the armed forces). For an Israeli account, read that of Bren Adan, armoured division commander whose unit fought at Chinese Farm and crossed to the West Bank of the canal.

    • @christophersmith5691
      @christophersmith5691 3 года назад +1

      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

He always said "the Syrians were a bunch of incompetents, the Jordanians didn't want to be there and did the minimum, the Egyptians were the only ones we respected because they were smart and resourceful". He was 19 during the war and always looked at the Egyptians as adversaries more than enemies. Also he had great respect for Sadat, going to the parliament of an enemy country offering peace and recognition knowing he was going to pay dearly took really massive balls.

      That wasn't the goal to begin with, the goal was to cross the Canal successfully, destroy the Bar Lev Line which was claimed to be "indestructible" at the time by Israeli and British Intelligence create a 10-15 km buffer zone in the Eastern side of the Canal, create a defensive umbrella against any air threats by deploying multiple Anti Air, force the Israelis in the offensive and hold that small buffer zone in the Eastern side of the Canal which all happened and successfully. The goal was to force the Israeli into negotiations, that was the plan all along, the war was just the first time to force the Israelis into the negotiation table and this was all mentioned in Sadat's journal. Militarily Egypt was winning during the first few days, and with Israel gaining the upper hand in the last few days, so it was more or less a draw militarily, but politically? It was definitely an Egyptian victory, cause we negotiated Israel to give back Sinai in return we recognise them. The goal was to regain Sinai through negotiations, and that's exactly what happened, so Egypt achieved their war goals, so we can say that the Egyptians won the war. Won the war of course Politically, cause Militarily it was more or less a draw than anything.

    A decisive part of why Israel's counter attack was successful that wasn't mentioned here was the fact that the Egyptians had no intention or preparation to continue marching through Sinai, they were only prepared to take over the 12 km east of the canal where they had air defense cover. and then to use diplomacy to sort the rest out, but they were pressured by the soviet union, who basically funded the whole thing, and by Syria, who played a major role distracting the IDF in the north, to continue marching and it almost cost them everything, they were stretched too thin against a far more superior army that had direct support from USA and they were exposed to air strikes. Israel also ignored the ceasefire later when they crossed the canal and encircled the 3rd div.
    The fact this ended the way it ended is a blessing and a miracle for Egypt.

Israel never needed sinai, it's a complete useless desert with no resources and barely is habitable. The Egyptians relied on soviet modern weapons as well, and even though the IDF was split in two fronts the Egyptian army was surrounded and mainland egypt was invaded for the first time and Cairos' residents felt the noises of the war over their heads. And until today after more than 40 years the Egyptian army is not allowed to move heavy forces to the sinai peninsula, they made and agreement that it will be a buffer zone. Nowadays the israeli army is way more advanced so if Egypt had attacked today they would have lost the sinai peninsula in about 2 days just like in 1967

      @ahmedsama61 2 года назад +4

      @IddoB if Sinai is useless piece of land why Israel took it in the first place, they took it because they are an expansionist country Andy had a dream to rule over the area between the Nile and Euphrates and they actually built settlements in Sinai which means they intended to keep it unless they are forced out and they are still holding the Golan heights because they defeated the Syrian army there. And yes the European banks and countries supported Israel by every means they had, that's why they were able to win a lot of their wars. And it is unfair to compare the support of the US and European countries to Israel to that of the Soviet Union to Egypt. Israel was forced militarly then diplomatically to get out of Sinai and the internet is full of photos of the Israelie people crying and refusing to leave their settlements there because they where forced out.

    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.

    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.
