- 📜 History of D-Day, The Great Crusade, Part 2
The Germans expected the Allies to invade France to re-open the Western Front, but they did not know when or where the invasion would start - thanks largely to the operations of MI5, British intelligence services, who staged an elaborate deception called Operation Bodyguard designed to make the Germans think they would be invading Pas de Calais instead of their real target: Normandy.

Fair point.

Point still stands. Man got a medal from Germany for losing the war for Germany.
'If they failed tens of thousands of men would die.'
At least there wasn't any pressure.
At least they didn't have to do public speaking. Now THAT'S real pressure.
The true irony is that the cannon fodder died either way
you mean the americans?
america supplied the bodies, the british supplied the brains and the russians supplied the distraction.
Pretty sure the Russians were the primary cannon fodder. The American were just unlucky or less skilled at land-warfare than naval warfare.
I'd say it was just a matter of luck and being in a situation that didn't allow armor to fight effectively.

Fun Fact: The cracking of the enigma machine was so successful that Bletchley Park had to 'pick and choose' which information they would follow up on so as not to make it obvious that the codes had been cracked. essentially they had to allow the Germans to make attacks against the allies knowing they could have prevented it, but in the long run it saved countless more lives,
Not really. It wasn't that it was so common but because they needed to have an excuse. It should always be possible for the British to have gotten the information elsewhere. If they made it clear they knew things that they should never know would make the Germans suspicious.
Aurora07 in allied side
Yeah they stated that in the movie, The Alan Turning Project.
Actually poles had cracked enigma before the war
@@vacaction3897 they cracked an early version which was nothing like the one used in WW2.

It was a nice gesture
Well, you guys have to know what happened to him after they won the war. It wasn't pretty
The treatment and persecution of Alan Turing is one of the most disgusting acts humanity has ever wrought upon itself. You can debate his influence in computing, but he was poisoned and pushed to suicide in a disgusting manner.
Kamo Only broke it, with the Enigma Machine :D
Operations unthinkable should explain what the polish situation was about. And as for Alan Turin what was the policy for gay men in the other allied nations at the time?
@Kamo Britain declared war on Germany in the defence of Poland. Do you literally not know history.
@@anujkhanna2428 Don't be silly it was a rare ocurence. If this is how they treated all their heroes, there would be no England. What matters is reparations were made, as were for the Japanese after the internment camp faisco - although in both these cases ofcourse it would have been better if it had not happened, but grave mistakes are an ever present part of mankind.
@@jammo6645 Yeah... And that war declaration... Did almost nothing - Poland was still by itself during over a month of battle, at the start of the war. French - almost the same. Why did Hitler attack Poland frist? He suspected that the British and French won't join the fight, but if he attacked France first - Poland would strike from the east immediately, because of the alliance.
And the enigma - only Poles were successful in decoding it, giving all their results, and copies of the actual enigma machines, to the British and French, just before the start of the war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma#Polish_breakthroughs

fun fact: one of the C̶a̶n̶a̶d̶i̶a̶n̶ Brittish Soldiers, a man by the name of "John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, nicknamed “Mad Jack,”" had a real combat-ready broadsword and bow that belonged to his family. He brought the medieval weapons with him to D-Day, used them effectively, and survived the war.
oh shit you're right, he was hong-kong born British. i must have gotten something mixed up there, sorry.
I read about this badass! He dropped the thing and said something like "no battle is complete without f&@#ing swords," turned around, picked it back up, and continued hewing Germans limb from limb! What a character!
"Guns and ships, no this is WWII, we need Guns and Swords."
He didn't actually use the sword though.
In fact, he never landed in Normandy. He was a commando who, indeed, did attack, and kill, Germans with a longsword and a longbow. However, he also used hand grenades. He was captured in 1944, in Yugoslavia, while aiding the partisans there.
I do not know what was more incredible; the complexity of the Enigma machine, or the fact that the crossword in the English paper had SO MANY coincidental code names for the invasion locations and names for the operation!
Not coincidental but loosley inspired.

Juan Pujol García deserves a mini series himself.
The man was insane and yet such a pivotal character in world history.
Absolutely.
But why is he portrayed as "a Catalan"?
CristianFT86 He is called Catalan, maybe because he was born in Catalonia? As far as I know, it's a real place.
Who said It wasn't a real place?
Im pointing out the fact that there was not a single region after the Civil War in the whole country with the privilege of being treated as a Nation other than Spain itself.
Portray Juan Pujol García as "a Catalan" is, to all intents and purposes, historically inaccurate.
That's how it was and how it is now, wether you like it or not and, trust me, I don't like it either.
It's historically accurate. There's no need to use just the country to identify someone's place of origin. If they can be more precise by saying the region I don't get why they shouldn't.
And besides, from what I heard, it might me a country in a few months so it's not really that weird to specify if there's already conflict over that.
it is a bit awkward to mention someones regional birthplace, if you want to be specific use their hometown and if you want to be broad use their nation.
Of course that is only relevant if the regions do not have special political status (like the American states do) and Catalonia did not have any political status.
My grandfather was a medic for the navy at D-Day. He laned on Omaha Beach and was hit in the back with shapnel pretty early on. A marine dragged him in a foxhole and hid him. He waited there for hours until they finally found him and managed to bring him back to the ship. He passed away in the fall of 2019. I miss you Doctor Ramsey.

6:30 Not really a "series of coincidences" - the professor's students suggested the words to him after hanging around loose lip Allied soldiers.
Also a lot of other information issues.
I would have thought MI5 would have asked him exactly what student suggested each clue and then followed that up with all despatch to discover the Allied soldier and then discover what else they might have said and to who and then followed that up and impressed upon them the importance of not betraying your country literally until no more people were left

Kind of disappointed that the Canadians again get lumped in with the British as a minor partner. The Americans, British, and French get most of the focus on D-Day, and rightly so, but Canadians drove deeper into France than any other army and even met a few of their D-Day objectives. Was hoping with several countries getting episodes that we'd get some love.
Maybe one day Extra History will do a series on us one day. :)
The Canadians were part of the British 2nd Army, that's why.
Also it wasn't that many Canadans
At least you guys got a decent mention, Australia and New Zealand barely get mentioned at all by these channels
What do you expect from Extra History? 4,000 Canadians dead at Dieppe? 907. 907 Canadians were KIA at Dieppe. There weren't even 4,000 Canadian casualties total during Jubilee.
The Canadians killed the Nazis using their kind words.

6:52 Homestar Runner reference! Cracking that one must have pushed everybody to the limit.
I've heard about Alan Turning, but I was curious about the Pride ribbon you illustrated on him so i looked it up.
His story was so sad, to think that a man that was so important to winning this war was being chemically tortured for his sexuality. Thank you for displaying that, to think that people can be so indifferent about these issues when a historic hero was submitted to such a cruel punishment for simply being born.
Again why praised some thing he could not control rather than his work
Can I just say how happy I was to see that Turing was wearing a rainbow ribbon? I really appreciate your efforts to make history lessons more inclusive.
Why was he wearing it? Was he gay, if so, that's pretty cool.
He was gay and basically killed by the British Government after the war for being it.
@@Frixworks Yeah, except if I remember correctly he was prosecuted for his sexual orientation and driven to suicide. Read about him, he's pretty interesting.
He was. But unbelievably, after all he had done both for science and for the war effort, in the fifties he was prosecuted under anti-sodomy laws and made to under go some barbaric chemical treatment to "cure" him. Eventually he committed suicide because of it.
Philippe Lefebvre he was gay, and the government actually persecuted him for it later and he was charged with a crime (gross indecency or something), and he accepted being chemically castrated rather than going to prison. Later he (probably) committed suicide. They really took care of their best people. Good times. :(

Not to mention that the Poles cracked the Enigma
To be honest it did not help them much
The Germans had different Enigmas for different branches. The Poles had the Enigma at the beginning, but the Germans updated and upgraded the code.
And the codes was broken again
All because of a double agent in the Reich working with the french... He gave them monthly codes, and design for enigma, (The Spy in Hitler's Inner Circle, Paul Paillole).

Extra Credits it's nice you talked about us brits at d day as a lot of Americans forget that us brits where there and had a big part of why we won so thanks for that keep up the good content 👍
@Extra Credits You spelt Fortitude in Operation Fortitude wrong, other than that, good episode.
Man the British intelligence in this war was something else. It wasn't just D-day where the British had fooled the Germans, when they had artillery set up to strike London, a double agent had falsely informed them that the bombs were hitting their targets, when they were doing little to no damage in the countryside. The Germans continued to miss London thinking it was In ruins (after artists had worked together to make the city look as if it was in ruins) and London was able to quickly recover thanks to this after the war.
Fun Fact: Canada was credited with liberating the first house on European soil. The house was being used as an MG position and was responsible for the majority of the deaths at Juno. It was later re-named Canada House and still remains there today.

+ZoeAlleyne He was also a brilliant mathematician and the father of modern computer science. He probably would rather want to be remembered by that, not by the fact that he was gay or prosecuted for it.

Juan Pujol García sounds like an awesome agent! What a great guy.
The codebook didn't break the Enigma.. it was a little technical thing... Abused by the Turing "bomb"
1:20 operation for*I*tude
Alan Turing only continued Stefan Banach researches. One Enigma (no in 100% complete) used by Werhmacht( was different than used in Kriegsmarine) was transported by Polish AK soldiers from Poland in cooperation with RAF. Later British people found fully complete Kriegsmarine Enigma with code book. That was the final of breaking Enigma mystery :)
Komandor Bentus Stefan Banach, while great and influential Polish mathematician, had nothing to do with cracking the Enigma. Don't you mean Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski?
Also, aren't you mixing Enigma with Operation Most III (when British got parts of the V2 rocket thanks to AK).
If I remember correctly, Enigma machine they got from us was a copy of older version, build before the war, based on information gathered by our and French intelligences.
Yes, it was Stefan Banach and others mathematician like Rejewski, Różycki and Zygalski,. You're right, I meant an older version of Enigma based on Polish-French inteligences information. Thanks for notice, you made it more precise. Old type Enigma from Werhmacht was carried to London before war.

Reminder. Actually the Poles broke the Enigma even before war. And they have informed allies about that.
Kind of, they had broken a previous version of Enigma prior to the war. But by the start of the war the Germans were using upgraded machines that Poland had yet to crack. They did provide a huge amount of the early research though which absolutely made the job of the UKs code breakers far easier
But the germans changed the code
Yet another Polish slavaboo fanboy boasting about accomplishments despite being misinformed.
Poland cracked the EARLIEST enigma - Germans later upgraded and updated the code. And before you bring up the bs that "Enigma cracking machines in Bletchley Park were from Poles" I will just say no.

Wait, so we had an Oscar winning movie for Argo and we don't have a movie version of THIS?
There are plenty of movies about these things. The Imitation Game for example was about the Egima and Patton movie dealt with the Germans thinking he was going to lead the attack for example.
Cheshire1501 what about the imitation game. It's about the British cracking the enigma machine
Which part? The Longest Day is a good movie about the invasion day from the sides of most of the nations taking part (including the germans).
...as for the cloak and dagger stuff...um.... the new dads army movie maybe?
There was also that abomination of an American movie that claimed the US navy stole the enigma machine....
Cheshire1501 dunkirk's coming out
If you mean the disinformation campaign not sure how much of a movie you could do. It's interesting as history but visually it'd just be a whole bunch of people talking total nonsense for two hours odd.
6:53 - Come on fhqwhgads, I said come on fhqwhgads. Everybody to the limit the cheat is to the limit everybody come on fhqwhgads!
10/10 Homestar reference. That was a deep cut. Well played.
6:52 I've watched this a few times but I JUST got the Homestar Runner reference here. Nice one!
No mention of just how well the canadians did? We're they the only beach to complete all their objectives?
The narrator said that it is an American perspective of the war
A1B7C R3R21S13Y15G this one is the British
A1B7C R3R21S13Y15G the 1st was the American one

Just Missed Em! :(
I love ur animation I also love the extra knowlegde. WW2 is my fav part of learning history
Always nice to hear about the ridiculous lengths the British went with fake intel for D-Day. Would of been nice to hear a bit more about the British Funnie tanks as well though - they were pretty amazing (floating tanks anyone?).
Not just the amphibious tanks, but the mine-flayers, the bunker busters with a cannon so big it had to be loaded from the outside, the bridge layers for medium length gaps. Even more badass were the tanks whose job was to drive into ant-tank trenches, lower the ramps fore and after to serve as a quick bridge for regular tanks pass over with the crew wait it out inside from before before moving. Finally, there were the armored bulldozers who had to do the grunt work clearing obstacles to enable the regular tanks to advance. In fact, this collection deserves a video in and of itself.
Totally right - there were an amazing number of tanks the British created. I've always been interested in if their is an analysis of there effectiveness (it's worth noting that the US, for the most part, didn't use them and had the most trouble capturing their beaches, but you can't draw conclusions for this).
The main reason I mentioned the amphibious tanks is because I love their nick names. They were called DD tanks, so of course the troops nicknamed them Donald Ducks!
