@Hk Dk which had been invaded by Muslims a bit longer ago (I know that Spain as a whole had not existed but it definitely counts as those christian kingdoms were all holding together in reconquista and dominated by a few major kingdoms).
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.

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.
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.
My great grandfather was a guerilla on the Philippine Campaign of 44-45. He was Ilocano and fought at Dalton Pass with the Americans. One story from him was that he saved a relative of his (who was a collaborator with the Japanese) from death. After Dalton Pass, the captured Japanese were beaten and maimed by the villagers, and one of them was the relative. They tied him to a bamboo cross and beat him more, but my great grandfather thankfully saved him. Now, I have some cousins from my dad's side thanks to him. Rest in peace, Andronico.
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.
Soldier: Kommandant, Sir Kommandant: vat iz it? Soldier: ze Americans sent back a note that says, and I quote "NUTS". Kommandant: why do they want nuts for? Translator: I'm sure, in their language, their cursing is out to go to hell.
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 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.
Britain: Dude, how long have you been standing there? Switzerland: A couple years... America: Are you serious? Switzerland: I have mastered the ability to stand so incredibly still that I’ve become invisible to the eye.
@@V.D.22 you mean defend by mountains..the terrain played a big part in why Switzerland wasn't invaded. Tanks couldn't get over the mountains and the mountains (from what I've heard) created some crazy turbulence for the plane models at the time.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
My grandfather served in the Pacific. He died when I was two, so I never got to ask him about it, but my mother tells me that while he was proud to have served, he never wanted to talk about what he experienced 😔 And he drank a lot, for a long time.
My dad worked for a construction company in South Africa and had a friend who father was a Nazi who's mom got him on a boat to South Africa and lived in the former Namibia Annexed region, he still lives there
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"
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.
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

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.
Well it was a world war, so its hard to talk about ALL of them. I think the main point is that the video did a good job of not being US + Great Britain + Russia Vs Germany + Japan

not correct: oversimplifying, after allied invasion of southern italy and subsequent battles, italy splitted in 2: RSI (repubblica sociale italiana) in norther regions, which was still run by fascists and continued to fight with nazis until the end of the war, and southern italy freed by allies and pulled out from 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.
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.
30 years 👽. Was bro living under a rock
@@madiha_tanveer273 he was living in the forest, so maybe.
Hiroo Onoda?
It was actually a small unit, some died, some left because they believed the war was over, and the last one is the one who caused most of the trouble
@@madiha_tanveer273 on a remote island with no cellphones, and a radio from 1940 if he was lucky....

My great grandfather was a guerilla on the Philippine Campaign of 44-45. He was Ilocano and fought at Dalton Pass with the Americans. One story from him was that he saved a relative of his (who was a collaborator with the Japanese) from death. After Dalton Pass, the captured Japanese were beaten and maimed by the villagers, and one of them was the relative. They tied him to a bamboo cross and beat him more, but my great grandfather thankfully saved him. Now, I have some cousins from my dad's side thanks to him. Rest in peace, Andronico.
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.
No, that U S. General meant to say was " DEEZ NUTS"! At least that what Samuel L. Jackson would've said.
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.
@@larryshin7086 what's ww69

I like how “and the beaches were nicer” was an actual reason for the allies going to Normandy
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.
The beaches was nicer
The beaches: PUDUHDUDIEHDBWOWI
The beaches weren't so nice for so long
I agree xDD
It also works for giving troops morale
10:42 I like how in the middle of the war there is just a french guy handing out champagne
Alcohol has no bounds
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.

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.
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.
❤
that's
neat
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.
My grandfather was 5 years old 😂
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.
I would very much like to read the book and RIP to your grandpa
My grandfather served in the Pacific. He died when I was two, so I never got to ask him about it, but my mother tells me that while he was proud to have served, he never wanted to talk about what he experienced 😔 And he drank a lot, for a long time.

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!!
Just curious, where are you from and what did you learn about WW2 in school during those 5 years?
You should only remember not to invade Russia
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.

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.

We'll never know if there was ever some other kid who got into an art school preventing a world war
You need to watch the movie the final countdown. Makes you think 🤔
This war wouldn't have probaly happend if hitler was accepted into his art class so basically who ever did not accept him caused millions of deaths
@@top8753 then there was the British fellow who came across Hitler but didn't shoot him . The fates rule I guess.
I am an artist and I can't believe he was an artist just wow
@@gabrl999 he painted with the blood of his enemies 😳
Vienna: *refuses to accept Hitler*
Hitler: That’s fine, maybe I can do other things with my artistic skills.... maybe color most of europe RED
Soviet Union joined the painting war
is that what 'painting a continent' in the phineas and ferb intro means
Brush a little bit of red into the bristles...
dude how come you don't have like 30k likes
If its only *no-no germany* then its 40%of europe if its the whole axis then i think 50-80%
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)
That’s good for her!
@@pfffttt9563 And she was still 7 years old when the WW2 started
I hope she's well today we have a new enemy not the Japanese it's COVID-19 I hope you guys stay safe!!
@@account4935 Aww thanks
@@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
"Who's driving this bus?" Amazing :D

Fun fact Bastogne now holds a parade every year where they give everyone walnuts just because of the response being nuts
Funny lol
Wait really?
I gotta get to bastogne
Lmao, really?
Really
*Nuts* 😂😂😂😂😂
Idk what it is but the narrator's voice makes this a whole lot more enjoyable
I generally like how Australian troops can control a strategic port for 8 months but lost tl the emu's
true😂😂😂
Says a lot about the power of emus doesn't it
Have you seen emus??? Those birds are massive.
the hitler shouldve signed on the emus
Gay dinosaurs
You are teaching what people need to know
That Russians did nothing? Are you sure? I'm a bit disappointed =/
Germany: “Italy do something we’re losing”
Italy: “Ight bet”
Also Italy: surrenders
Well he never said it had to be good for the axis

The world: literally killing each other
Switzerland has started spectating
P a r a l l e l you forgot Arabia and Iran
Spain???
@@4l3ph_null1 Yeah, but Switzerland was literally in the very middle of all that hell
Canadian Comic Drawer true
@@4l3ph_null1 Spain was like: sorry dudes, we have or own war killing ourselves, just YOLO
Germany- losing the war
Italy- GUYS DONT WORRY I HAVE A PLAN!
*Player Italy have switched sides*
Operation axis: But before you go, I'll have these *Steals everything*
Ok, ik this is a joke, but italy actually pulled out of the war/surrendered
I know this s a joke but it became a civil war when America and UK did the invasion.
not correct: oversimplifying, after allied invasion of southern italy and subsequent battles, italy splitted in 2: RSI (repubblica sociale italiana) in norther regions, which was still run by fascists and continued to fight with nazis until the end of the war, and southern italy freed by allies and pulled out from war.
Italy is such a bandwagon
6:16 this part hits the hardest, this is what history needs to remember before it happens again
Its not even a percent of the shit that nazis did.
Try to google german occupation of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
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.
Nice
you put two the
The meme that we see on internet about when 2 people pee and act to not notice each other
@thunderstar86 not being too emotional, but that tears me up 😢
Just why?
🇩🇪Hitler: Okay Hirohito, I've invaded Russia and it's going pretty well. Have you finished China?
🇯🇵Hirohito: no but I attacked the United States
🇩🇪Hitler: *Y O U W H A T*
Cmon, everyone knows that PerlHarbor was a fake attack made my US
🇩🇪Hitler:Okay Mussolini, I'm about to prepare the USSR and destroy them!BTW howser that Greek war going?
🇮🇹Mussolini:I'm losing...
*🇩🇪Hitler:YOURE WHAT!?!*
Pearl harbour was Hitler’s idea. He believed that the US was gonna join the war one way or the other therefore he wanted japan to take a preemptive strike against them

I love how when quotes from American military members are read with little context, it makes it sound like they really aren’t that concerned with the possibility of losing. “Retreat? Hell! We just got here!”
“They want us to surrender?
Nuts”
"Here, have some weapons."

Me: So.. Your saying America just wants Guns, Oil, Taxes, and runs through Patriotism to do it?
History Teacher: Pffft you idiot, your forgot Freedom..
