Deciding The War | Battles Won and Lost | Timeline

- Deciding The War - Every battle is both a victory and a defeat - it depends which flag you fly. Across every theatre of the Second World War battles were decided not only by strategy but by armies in their element, capitalising on the terrain and with better access to supplies or by forces stretched beyond their limits, facing unforeseen conditions and targets underestimated.
These battles won and lost would determine possession of territory, of resources, and of the strength to go on fighting. For some of the battles it was the victory that most influenced the future course of the war. For others, it was the defeat.
From sweeping offensives to special operations, this is the story of the battles won and battles lost that shaped the outcome of the greatest conflict in history.

This documentary series will forever be remembered by me as the series that got me through many sleepless nights in quarantine. This on TV with a cold glass of icetea and some left-over dinner was all I needed to get me through the night.
Me too.. I don't know how many times I fell asleep to this whole series... Its in my playlist listed under " WW2 Sleepy Docs" its my comfort noise in the background!
You can say whatever you want about the germans, but the battle of France was an absolute masterpiece.
Think aggressive war is a masterpiece is an awful frame of mind to be in
Proclaims it’s a masterpiece but also has inability to explain why. Welcome to RUclips comments, folks. Hardly a stroke a genius and more like experimentation that went their way. Tanks were new technology, strategy for using them unrefined, a German general disobeyed orders and ran forward with them, they won and Blitzkrieg was invented. A couple years later they use exact same strategy against Russia and lose the war with it.
I'd re-enlist if Germany hypothetically wanted to get some more, but I'd have respect for their weapons engineering, military strategy, and military discipline. That is in contrast to fighting Asians, they fight dirty and have no respect for other armed forces.
No because the Nazis only defeated France, and Vichy was on their side and surrendered easily.
Barbarossa failed and the Red Army conquered Berlin. France was a booby prize.
Master class killers
I chose to watch this solely on the picture. His expression says a lot
Me too
Same here
Me too bro
Market Garden is a perfect example of the fact that you shouldn't get sloppy just because you're winning.Although the generals knew that their opponent was still the Wehrmacht, they wanted to end this quickly and "elegantly".
A Bridge to far
I think it was Montgomery's big ego that was the cause. After D-Day success all the media was on Eisenhower. Then later on Patton leading the armor. In between getting portraits painted Montgomery came up with Market Garden hoping to see his name in lights again. Reminds me of MacArthur.
*"How about **_E7_** ?"*
*"DAMMIT YOU SANK MY WEHRMACHT"*

Love the documentaries, don't love ads every 3 minutes.
No more timeline toooooo many ads.
Now do this, but for every battle that has ever taken place throughout the entirety of human history.
Mark Felton would have told this story so much better.
I need to switch it up sometimes
Mark Felton sucks.....
Yeah needs his intro too.. dum dum dum dum da dum
Less dramatic for sure
If your British Felton is your story teller, pro British.
Excellent work!
Many thanks for posting such interesting material
“The Japanese can’t flank us! There’s no bloody road over there!”
Japanese walk through jungle.
Why oh why do they persistently interrupt my much loved ads with this programme about the war it's not like I want to watch anything else but the ads .
u could download video-block? i think its also called youtube...i hear its full of ads so u might like it
Mine shows loads of ads but I’ve actually seen one advert in 26 minutes.
Go to the end of the video, pls reply, tada, no ads
I didn't notice anything but ads
But Kevin Hart is coming to town...idk what town cuz this entire city is locked down but I'm glad he's coming
The massive amount of recourses to build this pocket battle ship,and they scuttle the ship .we will look back in history,and be amazed at the resources needed to build these massive battle ships.great video shame about the many many many adverts
I wish they used flags on the table instead of orange and green it’s gets a little confusing
VERY CONFUSING!!
Yea true
AGREE
Is that like trying to figure out how a team can live in absolute oblivion for 53 years?
Ye
Again, far too many ads... Timeline has ads about every 4-5 minutes. That's excessive by any measure. Come on, YT!
Buy premium loser
great footage!!!
Beaky and the other guy , moving bits of cardboard really help...🙄
It helped tards like me, though I prefer watching Bletchley Park gals moving ships around. :)
@@lisaschuster9187 funniest comment of all 😉👍🍻
What a captivating narrative - superb!
Dunkirk: Only the British could find a way to celebrate running away.
"Brave. brave, brave, brave Sir Robin."
He who fights and runs away
Lives on to fight another day.
I think considering just how much went wrong during Market Garden, and yet it still so nearly worked - the craziness of it is overstated
Isn't the line between ingenious and idiocy merely based off success or failure, maybe in a different universe we talk of the ingenious and daring plan that was characteristic of us brits that was so close to failure if anything was to go wrong but went off without a hitch shortening the war by months or even nearly a year
The German armys found out that you eventually have to come down from a meth high.
Ja LMMFAO
Very trye
**TRUE ^
Mmmmmmm
I haven't come down yet
Great 👍
Thanks dude great upload!
Well done
There goes the two guys with the oversee board acting tough again
the way the guy with hair glares at the bald guy after he moves stuff around 😂
Alex B'Stard lol true
Now that I'm watching this. The documentaries I spoke of earlier were on the military channel not history.
Batlle of Kurk and Stalingrad are missing. It's a very British centric view of the war.
I wonder how much valuable, high grade steel was wasted in the over sized battleships that barely sunk anything? Imagine how many tanks they could build with the tonnage in those ships hulls.
Yeah tanks instead of ships for a island campaign
Yeah, battleships. Only the most precious commodities in the entire war….
TY
In the segment of Japanese Invasion of Malaya, the story of two British warships, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince Of Wales suppose to be included.
I'm sure a lot of peoples in this planet don't know how and where is the HMS Prince Of Wales battleship end up.
HMS Prince of Wales battleship ever encounter the German battleship Bismarck and caused some damage on Bismarck. That battleship should not miss out from history lines.
what sounstracks did you guys use?
"That's a pretty good painting, you should take classes here"
What digital tabletop game are those two playing the whole time? Looks fun
Excellent !!! However, AH no body, no death 💀
I think your Maps should show more than flat topography .
I would appreciate some sense of elevation and forest, etc
Fresh troops is the most important factor in a long battle,
Where did they get the music from? I think it is cool.
too nice history video...war stages are consisting from collection several Battels some of them in chain occurring others of them in separate times and far from each others ...victory of Limited separate battel are not changing defeat result of war stage
Happy saw Germany in late 60's. Very historical.
wow saying the Japanese executed blitzkrieg better than the creators is quite a bold statement!
I dont think theres enough ads
"War Deciding Battles: River Plate, Market Garden...." ..... well ..... no
Stalingrad... Etc...
Midway.....Coral Sea......Kokoda..... Bismarck sea.....Guadalcanal......North Africa...... Atlantic.....Italy......??
@@stuartcollett3252 No
But Kursk, Stalingrad , Normandy, Sicily
Just one everyone forgets, the' battle of imphal ', this one battle destroyed the bulk of the Japanese land army.
tom lucas Source for your claim?
Dam Humble documentary from the British
What town is Neishmeegin? Never heard of such a place.
Nijmegen
@@theenglishlearningchannel259 Are you seriously telling the the person with the Dutch name the correct place? Or is sarcasm not obvious in your world. The narrator pronounces it NIDGEMAYGEN constantly.
@@imnayhymn8706, Thank you!! Someone gets it!
4:05. A few days grace? How many days....would you say....3 days?
35:13....it's "Gorden the Camel".
Those two unhappy, constipated men standing at the battle board may not add anything to this documentary, but I have to give credit where credit is due: the shirts they're wearing are probably the nicest bits of prison work detail clothing I've ever seen.
2:34 What's the point of having hexes on the game board if you're just going to ignore them?
Direction of attack
The evacuated French Troops did not remain in Britain, most went back to France
@Dawud Storm what a stupid remark
@Somarik Green But how France had surrendered not saying that none joined the Resistance but I guess most just wanted to go home.
I was unaware the Admiral Harwood had 4 destroyers in the Battle of the River Plate, not sure why they didn't take part.
@Stuart Donnelly I can find no mention of the four destroyers in any history. Do you have names for them?
31:07 Hey thats HANZ!
Omg the Timeline ads
Good doc. Map segments,, not so much.
I think they should have used little flags on the maps but interesting.
When the commentator is talking about the remind French troops' counter-attacks ............. @ 04':41" ... this movie is actually showing a group of Polish Army officers at the French railway station. WHY ??
31 minutes in there is note of failure to communicate presence of an SS formation. It it stated that allies know about this through communications intercept. Did I hear that there were other sources for this information?
Nice ad. Where is the video?
Why has noone ever told me about Nidge Maygun before? 😂😂😂😂
How many bloody adverts does this channel want? I only just skipped an advert and then I have to skip another advert after 5 mins and the adverts are 2 mins long! This channel has so many great titles but I can’t stand how often I need to keep skipping ads
The amount of ads in this is absolutely ridiculous
After the debacle of Market Garden, Why wasn’t Monty sacked?
Because he was still a British hero. I believe his failure wasn’t well known at the time at home because the morale in England especially was getting pummeled by constant barrages of German V2 incendiary rockets, and the people living in the south of England had borne the brunt of the constant bombing that it’s very possible that the Allies focused more on victories. Like all generals, he was good at some things and not at others, and he was definitely responsible for the loss of many many lives.
There is a video in your add mate
00:13 unless its a stalemate. Not every battle has a clear winner and loser. Now every war, thats a different story.
I get so confused on which guy is for the allies.
Look it up in Wikipedia….then start reading some of the books listed in the Reference section at the bottom of the article
33:14..." It should never had happened. "
Hi everyone, good luck everyone
The French fought with more skill for the Germans than against them
Yes, and then less than 6000 of them opted to join the Free French. I was surprised so few. Though I did hear that some of those units were Foreign Legion units so that might explain it.
If this wasn't a RUclips comment section. We would've friends. I would buy you a cold pint of Canadian lager.
They are good documentaries but sometimes the film is far from accurate. They just seem to use what they have at hand. The Market Garden footage is mostly of German units from the Ardennes battles. They could of made more of an effort with getting the period footage right.
These are the 4 catastrophic main battles why Germany lost the war first the battle of the Atlantic 2nd was the battle of Britain crushed the Germany's control of the sky's 3 Rd the winter of 1941 then most devastating for his best force the central army grinded up in Stalingrad after that they could no longer attack on large enough capacity to turn it around and we're on the defensive from there out specially after the Kursk tank disaster it was game over
Also: the Graf Spee is not a battleship. It should only ever be referred to as a heavy cruiser, panzerschiff, or pocket battleship. Calling it a battleship and nothing else is misleading, even when you've already referred to it as a pocket battleship.
The Kreigsmarine is a difficult enough fleet to understand due to restriction dodging and the ridiculously high calibre cruisers pertinent to it. Please don't confuse the issue further.
The two guys😂 acting career fit that lol
No channel does it better then this channel!!!
I love this channel but I hate it because of too many commercials
Poor Langsdorff, an honourable and humane man.
A military masterpiece that led to the Holocaust....
TIMELINE tries to make moral equivalents in some of their arguments. So it is with Bomber Harris and the bombing of German cities in WWII. My uncle endured the bombing of the Luftwaffe during the Blitz and I can tell you from his explanations that bombing does wear you down. It takes a toll on the individual. Sure you put on a brave face but holding your children and covering their ears while hunkering down night after night in the London underground was no walk in th park.
Ask any German who lived in Hamburg or Dresden while it was being bombed by the British and I'm sure he/ she will say it took a terrible toll on their morale. WWII was TOTAL WAR. It was an existential war of civilian attrition as well as that of destroying the enemies armies. Bomber Harris was right in his use of bombers to demoralize the enemy and kill civilians as well as combatants. The only time you stop bombing is when you RUN OUT OF BOMBS or you capitulate or the enemy capitulates and sues for peace. BTW, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not entirely about destroying Japan's war-making industrial capability. It also served to demoralize the Japanese military & the Japanese people who soon realized the futility of carrying on the war.
the Belgians SURRENDERED ON MAY 18TH-they wernt surrounded
Pure allied propaganda
I hate the tabletop maps in these programs. The shots don’t last very long, the camera is constantly moving, and there are usually no geographic markers/identifiers so you can’t tell what you’re looking at or which way is north or anything. Those map shots are worse than useless.
The Japanese took Malaya like playing a game of Go [so-called "Chinese chess"].
You know there is an actual Chinese chess right? Go is more like checkers.
@@WellBattle6 nah nah nah, it's like "fence your house" childhood fav of me and my big sis
Forcing the Graf Spee to committ suicide was hardly war deceiding
Every time he pronounces Nijmaigen...(pronounced Nye-maigen)....as "NIDJZ-MAIGEN'...eeyyiicchh....it's like nails down a chalkboard....why people try to be clever in this department i'll never understand.
Yes, horrific and no-one involved in the production picked it up.
90 tusind french troops was send too a return too Frence, and go in too captativity. Nowone talk abaut that issue
They went back to defend what remains of free France
The real issue is your spelling here
TheSuperQueen no...no they didn’t. Some were interned, most went back to there home and jobs. Very few joined the resistance, which is documented again and again and is borne out by the very poor performance of most faction of the French resistance when they were called upon to slow German troop movements following the Normandy and Mediterranean landings.
@@terrysaunders214 i wasn't talking about the resistance. I suggest you watch the show world war 2 week by week
They were high on speed and couldn't sleep when they stopped anyway.
Our troops during the Vietnam War were also high on speed. That's why they were always wiping out whole villages.
hmm even in war time the brits respected the netural nation of argentina and allowed the that german captain to port there he prob should of went out gunz a blazing and rammed a ship or two
@Norg1: The Graf's usable fuel stocks were very low; she couldn't get more because her special fuel cleaning system had been damaged and couldn't be repaired immediately. So, even had she sailed out to give battle, she may not even have been able to 'fight her way through' to Buenos Aires and no escape to open sea was possible. Had the Graf returned to Montevideo she would've been interned, thus risking the secrets of her special equipment falling into enemy hands.
Graft Spee sort shelter in Montevideo, which is the Capital of Uruguay, not Argentina; So it was the neutrality of Uruguay the British respected.
No, iran was not "then persia" in the 40s. Persia wasnt a thing after the ottomans fell.
Convoy war
I want that table in my basement
Market Garden was doomed from the beginning when the paratroopers were dropped not on the bridges but at least 7 miles from them. Montgomery's original plan was thwarted by I believe the air forces refusal to endure the flak where the soldiers needed to end up. It was Montgomery's fault for not scrapping the assault when his actual plan was sabotaged this way. Far as the meeting on the Elbe of US & Russian Troops, that was no accident and had been arranged by Stalin so as to give him a head start in his take over of as much territory as he could get.
The whole thing was pointless. Russia was on a unstoppable march to Berlin no matter what happened or not in the west.
yes usaf beriton was put in charge of the drops appointed by eisenhaur he had no experience with airboune troops....made the arnham drop to far away a more criticley would not have 2 drops in one day....but unbelievable most people never heard of him...xin loi my english no good
Why the damn music all the way through
Monte wanted all the action to be centered on himself. He treated Eisenhower like he did Alexander. Monte is entirely overrated.
Wonder iff its because they were all on a pervitin comedown as well!!
wow 6m soldiers advancing on a city

Totally misses the battle of arras which frightened the German which is why they halted
True this.
Why don't you cram in some more ads
Market Garden is an eternal monument to Monty's stupidity. No one trusted him after that idiocy. Which probably won the war. So there's that, at least.
