My great grandfather was a bomber pilot, shot down during the invasion of France, he survived and was captured by the Germans. Sent to a Stelag and lived through the ordeal, he never talked about the war or his experiences directly, but he was writing a book before he died about his entire life and the lives of his comrades. I got to read his first draft of the book about 5 months before he passed. It’s unfathomable the things that happened to him, and the things he witnessed. Every time I ever hear anything about ww2 I think of brave, strong individuals like him who gave all of us our freedom all across the world.

The "Nuts" story is really amusing. The Germans didn't know the meaning of the word, they thought he was talking about actual nuts until the translator told them it meant "Go to hell". True story.
The original story was when the American commander read the message he muttered “nuts” and then later when he was thinking of what to say, one of his officers said “that remark you made earlier is hard to beat” so that’s what they sent. And then the part that you said happened.

My grandpa (Italian) used to tell me stories about the war, he told me that all the Axis Powers were involved in Operation Barbarossa. His Brother, who was older at the time, was sent to fight against the soviets. The last letter he received from his brother said "Dear mother, it's so cold here! When I'll come back home, have some hot soup and warm socks ready please!" He never returned.
"I was there son, when we landed on the beaches in France" "Wow! You landed in Normandy?" "No the south of France, I've never drunken so much champagne in my life"
What's the point of repeating it? We already heard him say the exact same thing, when we watched the video. And there's someone calling you "immortal" for... what? I don't know.
I wanted to see if this was true and it was. Not just one guy but towns full of people in the south were meeting the soldiers as they landed, handing out drinks. I can't imagine how overwhelming that must have felt as an allied soldier. Expecting a hail of bullets but instead it was corks.
The Americans have sought to relive those glory days of invading a country and being greeted as liberators, with champagne bottles instead of bullets. Since 1945. Too bad the Koreans, the Cubans, the Vietnamese, the Laotians, the Cambodians, the Afghanis and the Iraqis didn't get the same memo. Womp, womp...

While he definitely does what he sets out to do (very oversimplifies the topics), it is still clear to me that he is very knowledgeable on what he talks about. In the past few years I’ve started reading a lot more than I used to, and I just discovered from my current book that the whole “Japan doesn’t want to miss the victory bus” was an actual slogan adopted by Japanese commanders after Hitler’s victories in Europe. Just prior to his conquering of France, Japanese high command was seriously considering diminishing their presence in china, but German victory completely changed their mindset, leading to their eventual offensives. A small detail that I always remembered from this video, so it’s very cool to me that you based it off of something very real, and goes to show how knowledgeable you really are Oversimplified. Keep up the good work!
My grandpa used to tell us about this story where his town he lived in Italy was invaded and he recognised one of the soldiers so walked closer and then turned out it was a really good old friend of his, they apparently had a drink together and spoke about how the war was going.
My favourite part was 30 years after the war, a Japanese soldier was found in the forest killing people, not knowing the ASR’s was over. When the villagers asked him to stop, he said he wouldn’t stop unless him superior came to personally dismiss him. So the villagers found the captain, who was now a bookstore owner and he came over to personally dismiss him.
@@anuragaggarwal9896what? No. Homosexuality has existed since humans have. Just, the social idea of it in some countries at that time (some even continuing till this day) was very backward.

Quick quote from Albert Einstein: "I know not how WW3 will be fought, but I do know that WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones" In other words, he was basically saying if we have a full nuclear war with the weapons we have now, it'll blow us back to the stone age
KV - 1 Well they had to. They wanted land further down south near Papua New Guinea and The Philippines (I know the Philippines are further north). They knew that the us would send reinforcements if they attacked
I love how Oversimplified gets more serious when he speaks about topics that were more devastating for the people involved (such as the holocaust), it really shows how you can make jokes out of something while still being respectful when covering certain parts of it.
@@john-uw6hf Yeah, the atomic bombs were completely unnecessary. They could have easily pushed in without killing millions and they could have forced a surrender.
My great grandmother was killed in the Blitzkrieg. As a result, when my grandfather turned 18, his father gave him enough resources to flee occupied France (he proceeded to Italy where he met and married my grandma and eventually found their way to the US). My great grandpa, who stayed behind in France, then proceeded to fight with the resistance against the Nazis(at this point in time, he was around forty years old). I got to meet him when I was two during my first trip to France- he gave me the then disabled Thompson SMG he used as a freedom fighter and an Iron Cross which he'd taken off the chest of a Sturmbannführer (an SS Major) who he said he'd shot dead during the Liberation of Paris. Of course, younger me thought all of these were toys 'till I turned 15 and began taken real good care of them. I wish I got to spend more time with him, he'd definitely be the most badass person I've known. May God rest his soul in peace.
@@tacticalfloridaman8595 We may have sold some weapons and goods to Germany to postpone the invasion. And the plan was to retreat to the alps and fight a guerrilla war. Thanks to conscription the Swiss army was basically half the population so Hitler postponed it indefinitely.
kill me I googled stonks and it said verb 3rd person present: stonks bombard with concentrated artillery fire. "woods and farmsteads were routinely stonked by German guns" :0
Since they show these videos in schools, I don't think it would be very appropriate to say that "Mussolini and his mistress were shot dead and hung upside down at a public square so people can defile and piss on their bodies"
would have been usefull in highschool, i redid the history/geo class because i wasn't focused and all, now i watch and learn for fun, cause this is fun, not being forced into knowledge, but dancing with it.. have a nice day!
But more interestingly one nation was fighting simultaneously on all of the continentals : the Germans . Really incredible. There is not any other example of such a crazy attempt. Fighting both in Africa, Russia, ,Europe...
Whats crazy to me about WW2 is that all this destruction and Death happened in just 6 Years. Its impressive how far the Germans got so quickly and how fast it all went downhill.
One of the funniest pieces of information about the war is learning that several South American nations declared war on Germany in the final months of the war, like Ecuador and Paraguay which only got involved in February of 1945. Like, great job you guys, you participated too I guess.
I just now realized the war of the pig had some deep Oversimplified lore in it when he talks of invading Canada. He "wrongly" labeled Canada as the USA in this video
Except Over simplified is wrong. The oil shortages played a bigger role in the loss against the USSR, which is why he pushed the advance despite of the cold. The Nazis did not have enough oil to wait until next spring. Though he is "oversimplified" so fair enough
This is so helpful becasue my history class only focuses on the American part of WW2 and not the Eurup part other then the Holocost. Thank you your hard work is appreciated!
My history teacher taught WW2 in two separate classes. One focused on Europe and the other on the Pacific. Both were semester long classes. Having taken both classes there are still things I'm learning about the war. There is just so much to it.
It wasnt supposed to be a joke. The beaches were smoother and easier to invade. So yes... "The beaches being smoother" was a good reason to invade through Normandy.
I hate to break the joking atmosphere here but the soviets telling the people of Warsaw to rebel against the Germans, and then just waiting within eyesight of the city until all the rebels were dead to attack so they didn’t have to worry about rebellion has got to make it on to the list
@@phenelz1ne are you fucking 5 years old or something? They had an agreement, but were not allies, so it’s technically a betrayal. Especially since their agreement was to not invade eachother
My grandfather was a Polish soldier. He was captured and sent to fight for Germany when he didn't want to. His 4 older brothers died in the war and he was the only surviving child from my great grandparents. He was brought to America after the war was older and is now 96.
Similar story. My great grandpa was a Soviet soldier, his 3 brothers died, and he was the only survivor... Sometimes I think of how many relatives people could have now if this war never happened
This reminds me of Saving Private Ryan when the Czech soldiers are surrendering saying they weren't German but Czech & forced to fight & they were shot anyway cuz they didn't understand what they were saying 😭 your gramps is lucky to be alive.

I'm convinced some time traveler convinced Hitler to fuck up so much as to even consider invadin the USSR, no strategist in the universe would attack their strongest ally in the middle of a world war in hopes of taking over and using all their assets as yours (which is already happening as they are your allies...)
I've watched this video a long time ago, when I was just getting intrested in history. Now, after 4 years I can really see that this indeed is oversimplified. Props to this guy for explaining everything so clearly and simply and also leaving room for further research for anyone intrested. Thank you for your videos.
And because he’s videos are fast paced meaning you might take it upon yourself to learn eg: short version of battle of britain , sounds interesting and begins to research it.
ThePeashooterPuppet YT wrong they had a civil war which was the fascists v Ally Italy and the allied Italy won and Mussolini was arrested by Allied Italian troops
Everybody: how do you win a war? America: the secret ingredient is being late. Edit: I didn't say thanks for the likes because I'd be one of those annoying guys, but I would like to give thanks now. Probably my first time up here.
I'll be the first to tell you how central America was in the allied victory, but honestly, yeah. America is the only of the main powers that "won" the war, coming out in a financially advantageous position as well as with the nice piece of paper, and they did that largely by arriving late.
@@nutcrackerreal100 well, actually...the lend lease act was actually America's way of joining the war before they actually joined..if that makes sense. I'm very impressed by France's and Great Britian's role in the war, but without the lease act Britain would of fell like France. They don't talk about it in this video but that's because it's simplified. The lend lease act is a very interesting piece if history that I suggest you look into to. :D
You know what's really sad? Having 5 years of history classes about WW2 in school and never hearing about the participation and movements of Italy, Japan, Norway and Finland and the whole bunch of fighting in Africa and Australia. What little I knew were some things, that I heard somewhere or learned by some documentations, but school really fucked up. At least there are great videos like this one out there, where I can get a very good overview about what happened in very little time. Thanks for that and way to go!
AGREE. I HAD NO IDEA THE JAPANESE WERE OUT THERE 'CAUSING ALL THAT SHIT. THEY WERE ALWAYS PORTRAYED AS THOSE POOR PEOPLE THAT WERE THE FIRST TO BE HIT WITH AN ATOMIC BOMB. ALSO DIDN'T KNOW THE SCANDANAVIANS WERE SUPPLYING GERMANY WITH IRON ORE TO CAUSE A RUCKUS LATER ON!!
The only thing i learned about ww2 in school was about greece being brave and holding out against germans and that we "were the ones that put so much trouble to germany that they were forced to sent some army to greece making them slow down their invasion to russia which resulted in winter coming and bkah blah" and the holocaust Oh and who our allies were and the bombings in japan from america seriously thats all i remember from it At least you learn SOME basic things about it And funny thing is that we focus so much on the strategy on ancient wars And like yeah why Tecnhology has evovled since then why must we learn some tacticts that were used when people used onky bows and swords and no some that were used like 70-80 years ago? Edit:oh nvm i read your reply Good lord the hostory in 6our schools is sad too
So true! After watching this I was like... THAT'S what happened?! I was so clueless about what actually happened in WW2. But I guess everyone was who took history class because our books are always based on our perspective. It's hard to get the big picture of a WORLD war when it's from individual nations' perspective.
Artyom Skruchersky This is a nice meme but it was simply not true. Germany‘s attack was first stopped by the mud and then by superior soviet forces (and not a lot were siberians...)
Ha ha. Altough winter was an important factor, it wasn't a decisive one. The Russians got supplies (weapons, tanks, fuel, bombs, food... Basicaly everything they needed for the war) worth 17 Billion dollars (I think this land lease was a decisive factor) . Stalin also stopped purging the military and started to listen more and more to his generals. The Germans also had to fight on 3 fronts (Eastern Front, Western Front, North African Front), so they coulnd't unleash their full might on the Russian bear.
@@Icynutella did you know that Netaji Subash Chandra bose once met Hitler to request him to release the Indian POW and supply them to Netaji's army for Fighting for independence. I didn't know
"Who TF are you?" "Just chilling mon ami. Care for champagne?" "Should'nt you be fighting or something?" "That is what you are for mon ami. Now are you going to come here and free us or de we have to continue living under Hitler?"
hundreds of thausands of french did fought, at the end of the war the free french force at 1.4 millions army strong people. So first their was resistance, then as french got liberated huge amount of french people join the army to fight the germans and do the battle of Germany.
Also most experts agree on the fact that germany would have fallen even if the USA didn't join the war (were a bit late anyway). Moreover the USA only liberated Europe because the soviets were going to and they didn't want to loose their treaties. But as always history is written by the victors and they can lie as much as they want. PS: I'm not even talking about the enormous number of rape during the liberation of France and during the occupation of Germany.
My grandma's older sister witnessed the Japanese invading the Philippines like the battle of Mindanao and bombing of Samal Island. And they were hiding from the Japanese soldiers. And now she's 89 years old, still alive and well today. Edit: She just turned 90 today (February 27)
@@geminids2708 my great granny is polish and survived she worked in the Hitler youth and she nearly died but like the Soviet Union the winter was on her side, let me explain... Basically she and her siblings were shot in the legs and would have been dead from blood loss but the weather was like -20 Celsius or something like that and they used the snow to keep their wounds closed. So the snow blocked blood from leaving out of the holes the bullets made. She's still alive at 96

My great grandmother was killed in the Blitzkrieg. As a result, when my grandfather turned 18, his father gave him enough resources to flee occupied France (he proceeded to Italy where he met and married my grandma and eventually found their way to the US). My great grandpa, who stayed behind in France, then proceeded to fight with the resistance against the Nazis(at this point in time, he was around forty years old).
I got to meet him when I was two during my first trip to France- he gave me the then disabled Thompson SMG he used as a freedom fighter and an Iron Cross which he'd taken off the chest of a Sturmbannführer (an SS Major) who he said he'd shot dead during the Liberation of Paris. Of course, younger me thought all of these were toys 'till I turned 15 and began taken real good care of them. I wish I got to spend more time with him, he'd definitely be the most badass person I've known. May God rest his soul in peace.

Seeing visual representation of how much land this war covered is crazy to me and helps me better understand the term world war.
would have been usefull in highschool, i redid the history/geo class because i wasn't focused and all, now i watch and learn for fun, cause this is fun, not being forced into knowledge, but dancing with it.. have a nice day!
But more interestingly one nation was fighting simultaneously on all of the continentals : the Germans . Really incredible.
There is not any other example of such a crazy attempt.
Fighting both in Africa, Russia, ,Europe...
Also kind of crazy how the entire earth was about 5 countries fighting each other. The rest were just being shoved guns and ordered to fight.
Whats crazy to me about WW2 is that all this destruction and Death happened in just 6 Years. Its impressive how far the Germans got so quickly and how fast it all went downhill.
One of the funniest pieces of information about the war is learning that several South American nations declared war on Germany in the final months of the war, like Ecuador and Paraguay which only got involved in February of 1945. Like, great job you guys, you participated too I guess.

The only thing i learned about ww2 in school was about greece being brave and holding out against germans and that we "were the ones that put so much trouble to germany that they were forced to sent some army to greece making them slow down their invasion to russia which resulted in winter coming and bkah blah" and the holocaust
Oh and who our allies were and the bombings in japan from america

As a french, I will have done the same.
hundreds of thausands of french did fought, at the end of the war the free french force at 1.4 millions army strong people.
So first their was resistance, then as french got liberated huge amount of french people join the army to fight the germans and do the battle of Germany.
Also most experts agree on the fact that germany would have fallen even if the USA didn't join the war (were a bit late anyway). Moreover the USA only liberated Europe because the soviets were going to and they didn't want to loose their treaties.
But as always history is written by the victors and they can lie as much as they want.

It's a pity that was Patton (who was kind of a horrible human being), but it was certainly a bright spot on his career
@@heatherrockwell9012 was he that bad??? Why?
@@sixbases6793 He was known for screaming at his soldiers when they questioned him or refused to fight due to PTSD, and on a couple occasions pulled a gun on a man in a hospital when he started crying (he was fired obviously, but they kept bringing him back because he was strategically very good at his job).
My great grandma was born in the Philippines during the 1920s. She experienced the Philippines invasion which was really interesting to hear

Basically how the Soviets beat Nazi Army.
“Ohhh you think the Winter is your ally? ... You merely adopted the Winter. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn’t feel the heat until I was already a man but by then it was nothing but BURNING!!! The snow betrays you. Because it belongs to me!!!”

Hitler : *almost suceeds invading russia*
The winter : "im about to end this man's whole career"
U spelt Russia wrong its spelled R-U-S-S-I-A
Kii YyaA so true
You mean soviet union
And then some
That's a common misconception, the third Reich could never defeat the Soviets in time, and while the Wehrmacht couldn't compensate for loses, the Soviets put men after men to fight, that's why their casualties were so high.
6:16 this part hits the hardest, this is what history needs to remember before it happens again

My great grandad was in a camp facing a German camp, and one night he went in to the woods to go the toilet.
A German decided to go to the toilet at the exact same time, and they saw each other.
They pretended they hadn't seen each other, and they walked away.
I hope that German got to tells the story to his grandkids.
