“Anne Frank was a German born Jewish girl that was famous for documenting her time hiding from the Nazis, but you knew that already.” Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. Why?!!
The disappearance of Flight 19 is explained by the fact that the flight instructor somehow didn't realize he was over the Bahamas and not the Florida Keys. So he flew his men north east to find land, but ended up in the ocean. It's really tragic because this mistake was easily avoidable and cost 5 people their lives.
It's also worth pointing out the original audio transcripts exist and a lot of the most famous quotes from the flight are altered or literally made up.
Im sure you've seen it but LEMMINO's video on the Bermuda Triangle does a great job on grounding the conspiracy of Flight 19 and providing the real reasons they got lost like you mentioned.

I grew up in Klamath County where the balloon bomb detonated. The state puts a lot of effort into preserving a tree that was damaged by the shrapnel, and it’s genuinely pretty bone chilling to know that the people killed were a preschool teacher and some of her students.

Hearing pokemon music while this dude is talking about WW2 facts is the most whiplashing thing I have ever felt Its like If you were talking to me about the gruesome death of WW1 Soldiers by chemical warfare and YOU GOT THE POKEMON CENTER THEME PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND
The thing about Pete Ellis that I constantly see videos like this ignore/miss out on is that the Japanese likely read his book before doing their own testing prior to WWII. He didn't predict what the Japanese would do, he reasoned the best method for them and did the general work for them.
It was a no-brainer and the obvious route they would take. Not being funny, the US Admiralty were in a constant argument about bettering Pearl Harbour protection and how Japan would attack. Even more so, with the British attack on Italy, that proved it was indeed possible. In fact, that attack only added fuel to the fire and kicked off a year-long debate between the frontline admirals and the pen pusher admirals. Sadly, the pen pushers won, and well, we know exactly how it played out. They had first-hand reports, which were used as evidence, and the guy detailed what would be needed to defend Pearl Harbour.... which, again, that too was all requested and even had improvements added onto it by other admirals (front line) pushing for it. Sadly, one of the main pen pushers/desk jockeys was adamant that capital ships, aka Battleships, were still the future and the main thing needed. They felt they were all that was needed, and having them there was enough to stop anyone looking to attack. Ignored increasing their airforce based there and didn't bother with torpedo nets and increasing AA guns. It's crazy, but one needs to remember that at the time, the US was playing catch up to all of the other world navies and such. Some of the British admirals were still under the same belief that battleships were the mainstay and queen of the chess board. So, it wasn't just the US stuck in their old ways, and like the US, their ignorance and arrogance cost them a heavy price to pay. That's the sad thing about it all, they knew what was needed, and yet, they chose to remain ignorant and let their arrogant ways dictate the commoners/working class men and women stationed there their outcomes. Tragically, a lot of good men and women needlessly died that day. God knows why desk jockeys were allowed to have the final say and why the front line Admirals were ignored, even though they had the better experience and knew a tonne more about their surroundings and changes happening around them. This is what you'll find with western military. F ups that get covered up, or the blame pinned on someone else. Heck they managed to keep this obscure in History, most don't even know the man who warned Pearl Harbour would be attacked a year before it happened and advised on what was needed to better defend it. Lieutenant Commander John N. Opie III, USN The US Navy, both in Washington, D.C. and on station in the Pacific and Atlantic, studied the attack carefully, and suggestions were made to install torpedo nets at Pearl Harbor, which was recognized to be vulnerable. No action was taken, however, thanks to bureaucratic inertia. Japanese planners also studied Taranto, however. And they would take action on December 7, 1941.
I'd like to know how they would've gotten their hands on his book. This is the most reasonable explanation, but I wanna know how they got their hands on it or were even able to read it
1:20:00 I got an answer for this one, “the British 17” refers to a set of 17 British names found at Auschwitz in 2009. No one knows what exactly the list was for but the main theory that gets thrown around is that it was a list of members of a secret unit of British soldiers fighting for the SS. The only other theory is that they were prisoners of war who got sent to the camp. Some other things of note about the list is the fact that eight of the seventeen names had check marks next to them and on the back of the list somebody wrote common German words with the English translations. It includes the words “now”, “never” and “since then”
@@tanman5123Still, the brief history of the QF 17lber was hilarious since it was clearly a "welp, I dunno, but I guess I should put something factual here" It was actually a pretty good description of an otherwise stout but boring arty piece. Good comedy break.
Just deleted my comment since you nailed exactly what I found! I found it by googling "17 British soldiers WW2" instead of just "the British 17" and was expecting some group of Brit's who were known for fighting in a battle or something but good lord thats darker.
This is probably the highest effort iceberg i've ever seen. I usually only put them on as some comfort watching but i don't expect them to be well executed. I'm really impressed.
Its worth mentioning that Iva Toguru D'Aquino (Tokyo Rose) is also (i believe) the only person to have ever been pardoned of a conviction of treason. She was an american citizen visiting family in Japan when the when the war broke out, and the empire obviously wouldn't let her go home. She chose to write and give the radio broadcasts using slang that sounded insulting when taken out of literal context. IIRC, she was only pardoned after American soldiers who were stationed in Japan came out in her defense, stating that she actually boosted morale among troops, and that they went put of their way tp listen to her during her scheduled broadcasts. Edit: credit to @wendigoon for the story.
Actually she WAS supposed to be trying to break Morale but her and a writer were able to make it almost a Enemy Sponsored radio show for the Allies because a lot of Japanese people weren’t that great with English at the time and were able to get jokes/sarcasm over their heads.
@@realmothchu no problem, also, to give an example of the slang she would use, she often referred to her listeners as "Boneheads". She told the Japanese that it was a great insult to the soldiers' intelligence, but of course that wasn't how she and the young soldiers understood it.
When speaking about Tokyo Rose you've failed to mention that she actually was loved by the US soldiers, because she used the fact that her japanese employers didn't know english very well to insert jokes that would cheer up the troops. It can be seen in the audio you've used. Besides, she was coerced to do this, and she always wanted to return home to USA. So, i think that you've misrepresented her, making her look like one of the Axis Sallys. This is the only negative thing I can say about your video. Overall, great job!
I don't know what soldiers you talked to, but my father & uncle who served on those ships at sea, hated her guts! My father came home with a picture of her under interrogation!
Have to agree, the representation of the individual was quite poor in the video, a lot of pieces of the iceberg don't need much expounding upon but as the individual was brought up and not just tokyo rose as a collective, it felt a bit empty to not have it a bit better represented. to a quick side note, I can see why several soldiers wouldn't like her since it was propoganda and was meant to demoralize, but there's only so much twisting that can be done in that position without getting caught, so yea, no surprise that she wasn't universally liked, don't think that's what anyone was meaning.
I'm still amazed how unknown the story of Léo Major is. The madlad liberated a town by himself among other things and even has feats during the Korean War
I know! It's crazy! We may be thinking of two different people, I'm not to far into the video, but I know about a French-Canadian who liberated a Belgian town by himself, it is very impressive to me.
Here's one to add from a relative who was there that's kind of spooky if you like that sort of thing. After the war and trials, at Spandau prisoner where some were held and eventually only one remained, namely, Rudolf Hess. He was held at time,es in the basement and would be moved around depending on who was in charge of prison as it would rotate between allies and the Soviets. They differed on treatment of the prisoners and Hess was known to be unstable and prone to be annoying with his complaints to get out of the cell and get stay in a hospital. According to a relative who was stationed there, both Soviets and Americans would spend as little time in the basement level as possible due to figures being seen by troops and believed to be ghosts and an eerie song would be hummed in the dead of night. Obviously the troops were like nah mate I'm not going down there until him and his unit on base leave were talking about the song at a bar and a local said they knew the song and told them it was a polish marching song and the person asked what they were wearing and it matched the description of what polish soldier wore at the time of 1939 German invasion. Naturally throughly creeped out, they listened to the humming in the basement and never went down as my relative put it "he already had a guard watching him." And the nazi deserved the haunting with the summary concluding with "fuck em" He always wondered whether once Hess committed suicide the ghost disappeared but never intends to go back and check.
Interesting story bro, who was the relation? A neighbour of my grandpas - a man in his 90s now - was a foreign legion member and a prison guard to hess in the later years of his imprisonment. I’ll have to relay the story if I ever get a chance to speak with him again. That’s defo creepy as fuck though haha

Part 2 for sure, go mental with it. All the way to the core of the Earth and through to the other side. Working down from the tip of this one and then working back up through an iceberg on the other side of the planet. Go bonkers, get silly, get whacky, perhaps even a little humorous, maybe. Seriously though, you did a really amazing job on this and I would love to see more obscure WW2 coverage from you. Maybe even WW1 and the interwar period if you're up for it. Keep up the great work, partner.
notes about the krummlauf (curved gun). i saw this in a documenatry when i was a kid. apparently it was for tank crews that didnt have turrets. it was designed for shooting out of a tank hatch. when the bullet hit the curve it actually breaks into pieces, making it more effective for tank crews to spray infantry trying to get on the tanks.
The shrapnel was basically ineffective because it lost most of its kinetic energy, the only one that was even partially effective was the least bent barrels, and they broke after 75-100 shots
I watched a video not long ago where a Garand Thumb actually got ahold of one of these and were allowed to fire something like 20 rounds through it (these things don't last real long and the owner allowed them to check it out and see exactly what it did, but didn't want them to destroy it) and they found, that ZERO of the rounds broke into pieces but actually all the rounds that they fired stayed totally intact. They were, as were MANY people in the comments, absolutely shocked by the outcome. Not to contradict what your saying, just adding what I saw tested and the results that came out of it.
The thing about Desmond Doss is that he was never actually court martial’ed. The movie added that just for tension. The other thing the movie got wrong is that he didn’t actually meet his wife in a hospital, but rather at a library.
There's one of those German bells along normandy but honestly can't tell you where we actually were at, at that time. We didn't do any proper tours, we just drove along on the back roads and found all these tiny villages where people had collected stuff so you could wander around taking it all in. Powerful place.

@@typektypowy What kinda farms are out there in Germany that can hide massive multi-engine bombers bro?? they got barns there with barns spanning hundreds of feet across like an airport hangar??
@@zeddddd2846 There were multiple bomber designs built by different companies under the 'Amerikabomber' name. The 'Amerikabomber' was a project design competition designation, not the actual name of a specific plane, the same way the US Air Force today has its Joint Strike Fighter program. The thing is though, nobody ever won the contract for the Amerikabomber competition because all the designs put forward were, frankly, not very good. The airplane shown at 1:32:14 was the Me-264, Messerschmitt's design entry to the Amerikabomber competition. Only two were finished as airworthy prototypes, and by Sept. 1944 (which is when this plane allegedly crashed off the Maine coast), both planes had been destroyed by Allied bombings, so there's no way it could have been the Me-264. Not that it fit the description of a six-engined bomber anyway. There was only one six-engined Amerikabomber design that ever reached airworthy status, the Ju-390, which was Junkers' entry to the Amerikabomber competition. But it would also could not have made the flight because the Ju-390 as well as the majority of the German bomber fleet by 1944 had been grounded permanently. And even assuming that somebody like Hitler for some reason gave it express permission to go take a meaningless flight to Maine, it still would have been extremely difficult, if not downright impossible for it to fly all the way to the US coast in September 1944. By then, the vast majority of metropolitan France was liberated and no longer in German control, so the bomber would have had no other choice but to fly from Germany proper, which adds like 500 miles of enemy-infested airspace to its journey. If Maine wasn't somehow already out of range, it would have also have had to deal with enemy fighter aircraft which would have hunted this singular bomber down.
Also, I know I'm going on a rant here by now, but this entire video is just so poorly researched as a whole. And I'm not just talking about this guy spouting wild unsubstantiated rumours or using the wrong photos for entries, I mean he's straight up telling misinformation. For example, when Flight 19 got lost, he claims that the pilots started talking incoherently and that they started talking about how the ocean 'looked strange'. This never happened in reality. The official Navy radio transmissions have been transcribed and are available online. All of the pilots stayed calm and professional and in their last messages, the pilots even agreed that when one plane ran out of fuel and would have to ditch, the other planes would also ditch into the water together instead of abandoning their comrades. Choosing to go down with your buddies instead of trying to save yourselves takes balls and bravery, and yet the video doesn't portray any of that at all. The way he spins this story into some sensationalized thing where he implies that the pilots are going insane or getting lost for supernatural reasons is just so incredibly disrespectful. In reality, Flight 19 most likely had a navigational error that led them to think that their home base was eastwards, not westwards as it really was, which meant that the pilots were actually flying away from their base the whole time when they tried to go home. 14 men died because of a tragic error and yet he uses it as a basis to make some hocus pocus shit about how the pilots were going crazy. He talks about topics of mass murder and sexual assault of innocents without any modicum of respect, and he calls the incredibly tragic story of August Landmesser as a 'great story', even though there is nothing remotely great about it. August and his wife were broken up by the Nazis simply because he peacefully opposed the regime and because one of them was Jewish, and as a result they were both sent to concentration camps. His wife Irene died in a concentration camp after giving birth to a daughter that would never get to see his father, and August himself was killed as a soldier forced to die in battle as a penal soldier, neither ever knowing what happened to the love of his life nor that he ever had a daughter. It's one of millions of the tragic stories of injustice and lives cut short caused by the Nazis and by the war as a whole, and he somehow still calls it a 'great story'. As a whole, it's just incredibly disrespectful and ignorant to see him treat history for this. He talks about it like it's some videogame lore. The Pokemon music blaring throughout this doesn't help either. A 12-year old could make a video essay more respectful to history and the legacies of people than this. This is way too long to be just a comment but I just desperately wanted to get my thoughts out. Nobody should ever treat history, especially history as serious as WW2, like this.
Hi! Um i dont really know if someone has told you this, but Anne Frank died during the war, in the concentration camp. She never got to rewrite the diary. The one who rewrote her diaries was her father, the only one who has survived the horrors of the Holocaust, and he had made the deliberate decision to get rid of the details that he considered would embarras his daughter OR will make his dead wife look bad as to publish the diary and honour their memory. So he made the two have a better relashionship and he eliminated all the chapters discussing sexuality and romance, self-discovery and the changes of puberty, and stuff like that. But he later published the origibal version, unaltered. So it was him that edited the diary, not Anne
1:32:14 what you're referring to the Amerikabomber was actually a nickname for a series of prototype bombers and the one you used in the picture is the me 264 which had only four engines. The couples in Maryland described it as a six engined plane so its actually the Junkers Ju 390 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_390
@@GooseOfYorkCheckout Bedtime Stories - his playlist with Nazi Experiments, I think the one about nuclear bombs and New York. A part in the video says Allied forces managed to come across a Ju-390 but dissembled when they captured Dessau. Then later, Allies captured a German who said actually they’re were 7 of these six-engined planes that were built. It’s a neat video, my explanation may have butchered a lot of info lol
Correction at 14:27. The couple in the picture are not the Haradas, they are actually the brave native Hawaiian couple that helped subdue the Japanese pilot and the Haradas. Please make the correction
This was a well put together iceberg and it touched on a lot of different things many people have never heard of or have heard false info about things such as the Amber room, the Germans who fled to South America and the the 364th regiment. I also like how much of the background music is from the old Sly Cooper games
This is a crazy iceberg! It was incredibly interesting and I appreciated the time you took to give a good and brief explanation of each entry. But I will say I'm somewhat surprised that Henry Tandey isn't mentioned on this list. Only somewhat because his relevance to this actually doesn't pertain to WWII itself, but rather the ALLEGED identity of a wounded German soldier whose life he spared... Even if it's not true, it makes for a very interesting story.
I’ve never seen a iceberg so detailed. I also very much appreciated how you did your best to give explanations to a lot of the mysteries/ provide us with what most people agree upon, instead of just spreading misinformation for shock reaction. New subscriber here for sure!
The things he said about Ustaše is definitely misinformation. The one about children's camps for example. They were war orphanages where nuns saved children who were victims of war.
5:57 The other reason Hirohito wasn’t charged is because his role as a actual leader is iffy to say the least. The emperor in Japan had historically been seen as a figurehead but many times was often superseded in actual power by the military. In feudal Japan, this was in the form of the Shogun. In WW2, it was instead under the rule of the military regime that superseded the Emperor and previous republic elements of the Meiji era of Japan. That ultimately meaning it was near impossible to guarantee Hirohito really had a say over his own government or even fully understood the stories and possible lies his advisors fed him. Could he have been more involved then we know? Maybe, but that would be assuming what we don’t know. And given how Hirohito’s side passion as emperor was being a marine biologist, he wasn’t that keen about ruling a country or military.
@@DefensiveDriver Well he actually didn’t. There was a attempted coup that almost happened when the peace treaty was layed out. The only reason Hirohito was able to sway things in his favor is most of even the militants in the government had come to already join in on the suggestion of some kind of peace because of things like the impending Soviet invasion. That caused the coup against Hirohito to end in a failure, and most of that coup’s existence was just down to the treaty’s term of unconditional surrender as they still understood that there had to be some kind of peace established. There’s also the fact that even if he had the sole final decision at the end, it was not consistent with the rest of the war because Japan by that point had fallen into disarray and that whole military government was incredibly fragmented and disjointed to the point their own influence and control was weakening. So the Emperor being able to seize control would not mean he had that same degree of control “the entire time”.
@@kaijuslayer3334 well he actually did. even after two atomic bombs and soviet invasion they were still debating to not surrender until hirohito himself intervened and ordered the supreme council to accept, which he only did because it guaranteed the imperial throne; otherwise they would have kept fighting.
A lot of effort that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Great work. The only request I’d have is to read the name of the entry before getting into it. I listen to icebergs here and there, mainly as background. So when an entry is started I’d have to glance at my phone, monitor, or tv. A big pain, I know. But I’d appreciate being able to hear what topic is coming next to see if it’s something where I’d like to see the imagery instead of having to rewind. Again! Great work, I appreciate the effort, liked and subscribed 😎

8:23 a note about the battle is that the prisoners wereformer french prime ministers, generals, tennis star Jean Borotra, and even Charles de Gaulle's sister , some including De Gaulle's sister took arms and fought the SS along the coalition.

Amazing video. Each entry was long enough and detailed enough that if I found in interesting I could read more about it later. Best part is this video wasn’t bogged down by 300 ads like every other iceberg video on RUclips
I think its funny at the beginning of the video you called Hitler "mustache man" but later gave up and just called him by his real name. I guess any RUclips censors won't bother watching past the hour and a half mark. LOL
Knew I was in for some insanity when we were below the iceberg and only half way through the video. Fantastic video by the way. Thank you for your hard work on this.
Idk how this came in my page but dude this is one of the best put together icebergs I’ve ever come across plz keep up the background music too it’s so perfect and nostalgic much appreciated work everyone who worked on the video!
@@tanman5123 Hey bro I know I'm over a month late but can I get a source on the music that starts at 1:00:12 by any chance? I recognise most of the music in the background from Pokemon but I like this one and don't know where it's from.
okay so i know you already made the video but i have a few other WW2 topics i find genuinely interesting. They may not be AS DARK as the iceberg, I just thought they were kind of interesting: -Dr. Martens (WWII origins) -Max Ernest (EXTREMELY famous surrealist artist captured during WWII) -Massive explosion of the (art subculture) Dadaism and Surrealist movements during both WWI and WWII. -The use of the term “Asperger” SPECIFICALLY DURING WWII (Used as a term to describe disabled ppl “not disabled enough” to be killded during the holocaust) -Pink triangle camps
Die Glocke is presumably a concept for a nuclear reactor chamber, so designed to be durable OR it is a bunker design against air raid. Some of these bunkers were called "Glocken" Müller, the superior of Eichmann was killed shortly before the capture of Berlin, he was burried by the SS in a massgrave in a german road. He is claimed to be alive, by dubious statements of Eichmann (he talked a lot and most of it was bullshit) to make Müller his scapegoat. the two versions of the diary were kinda created by her father, this is at least presumed, that her father cut out a love interest and a dislike to his wife. hirohito was not judged as a warcriminal, because a) the democratic nation of japan got overthrown by a militaristic dictatorship, that used the emperor increasingly like a puppet (similar to the emperor of Germany in WW1, b) the emperor did the main work to allow a capitulation of Japan, preventing a lot of US deaths and even more Japanese deaths, c) he was used as a safeguard against communism in the country by the USA. the Battle of Itter didn't involved German soldiers fighting German soldiers, but a group of Wehrmacht soldiers, who were Austrians, forming a resistence group, while pretending to be an actual loyal part of the army. The "german" SS group was largely not composed by Germans, but by "German Reichdeutsche" so recrutes, who were claimed to be ethnical germanic, but were simply replacements by the big attrition state of 1945. the german expedition to antartica was about the original german part of this continent, who was absorbed by the Versailles treaty by UK. the Nazi-party ignored this treaty, so they continued to call it by its german name, drove to the coast and threw some spikes into the inner areas with some nazi-flags on top of them by plane. The area is so remote and the flight was inland to the continent, therby these spikes are still in this area and not a single one of them was ever recovered. The nazis didnt really revisited the area ever again. The U-boats used argentinia regularly over the whole war. Kammler is an actual difficult case, because the USA has some documents of his presence in their prisons in Nov. 1945, while we know, that he was in Prag at the day 9 of May 1945, when the red army conquered the town and we had sources, that he killed himself prior to fell into the hands of the red army. It is more likely , that the USA had a different person, because every mention of him lacks in US documents, except 2 cases, who were separate (so yea 3 Kammler's) and claimed a lot of more "captured" better known and higher ranking people, who were in some cases proven wrong claims. Even the most prominent name, Göring, is claimed to be captured in the same document, while we KNOW, that he was captured in a different area by the same army. Thereby it is most likely, that a) Kammler killed himself to evade a capture by the Sovjets OR less likely b) Kammler killed himself, while being in custody of the US army (and the US army hides this, to not offend the Russians, that the US army let him kill himself, after the red army captured him), without an explanation, why the Russians should exchange this guy to the USA. the claim in this video about the betrayer of Anne's hiding-spot by a prominent jewish figure of Amsterdam is made by an US-dutch TV-mystery-show and heavily criticized to be a dilettante attention-seeking productions of crocks. in reality the search was made, because to feed these hidden jews the dutch company had to use black-market-bought food-stamps and the search team had members of the section in their team, who were responsible for these kinds of crimes to discover the actual source of these fraud-food-stamps. the Germans were in their reports themself surprised about the discovery of the Jews. These food-stamps made the discovery of these hidden Jews over time often possible. the "spear of destiny" is just one of many insignia and all of them are heavily non-historic make-believes. The actual main insignia of Germany was the "heilige Lanze", not the spear, but only the spear-tip and the actual source of it is Lombards in italy, the actual speartip is inside the golden part of it, the other parts were later added to make the spear-tip look more modern. it's real age is around 700-800 and it is a symbol of Karl the great and his submission of the Lombards, that was followed with his anointing as an emperor by the pope, because he saved Rome from this Italian and by Rome claimed, non-catholic tribe. i hope, that the american soldiers actual die, because they put the crown on their head and made pictures of it (notice the many rings and other stolen jewellery on his hands). This crown is only for the head of a Kaiser, elected by 7 dutches and 3 bishops. not even the Nazis used it for a crown and even the prussians and austrian Kaisers of nationalism were honourable enough to keep this crown alone.
Kammler wasn't in Prague, he supposedly killed himself just outside of Prague (Jílové u Prahy, west of Prague), so he could have escaped with the other Germans (Germany signed a capitualtion with Czech resistance, many of them fled west and the Red Army came into empty Prague, which was already under control by Czechs). There were many reports of him supposedly surviving and being planned to be interrogated (even reports that he and some group around him escaped the prisoner camp to aid Soviet attempts to capture German technology). Kammler knew a lot about secret weapons, so he was a very valuable guy. Why would you kill yourself when you can sell your knowledge in return for his innocence? Either he killed himself or he was captured and interrogated. Can't prove any of the theories because we lack clues.
@@ugencz8364 while it is correct, that Russia treated their prisoners sometimes similar to the USA for technology, it is at the same time true, that the Nazi-regime indoctrinated a lot of their citizens, that suizidal actions would be better than to be captured by the red army. This is explicitly the case for Kammler, who would have been able to flee to both side sof the enemy and choose to remain on the Nazi-side to the bitter end. A lot of the prisoners of the red army were treated badly or simply shot, it was a thing of chances and Kammler was involved in a lot of crimes to soviet citizens/soldiers and in occupied soviet areas, that was not always ignored by the individual officers of the red army. the tendency of suizidal actions by prisoners were even the case in the US army side. The US army just tries to hide these numbers. A lot of these "thousands", who died in prison camps were actual suicides. This was partly of course a great excuse to simply kill someone, so the suicides rate sin these camps are more dubious than anything else. Still the death of him was claimed by his Ordonnanzoffizier, some SS-Untersturmführer Zeuner, und his driver Preuk, so 3 witnesses after the war. A member of the SS-women-department, who was in the same group like Kammler, Ingeborg Alix Schaumburg-Lippe, claimed the same thing decades later in her biography. A lot of these sources were not likely to be influenced by the allied nations of both sides. In fact, Miss Schaumburg-Lippe would have highlighted the possibility of soviet involvement, because she was heavily anti-communist and it would have made her book more interesting.

No sponsors no begging for likes no begging for subscription just 2 hrs of ww2 rambling. This my favourite iceberg video. Thanks and can't wait for you to cover more topics
Thanks, some very interesting segments. BTW - The British 17pounder was the ammunition size, not the "weight of the barrel" of the field version, nor the weight when mounted in a tank or tank destroyer. It's just how they named stuff. The Brits had a 40mm called a 2 pounder gun, a 57mm anti-tank gun that was a 6 pounder (and was probably the best weapon of the war for its relatively small caliber), a 25-pounder that was 87.6mm, and so on.
This is one of the best icebergs I’ve seen so far. A ton of really obscure stuff I had never heard of. The effort this video must’ve taken is insane. I enjoyed the whole thing, and learned a bunch, so thank you for your hard work!
This is easily the most entertaining videos I've seen this entire year, and one of the most interesting and high quality videos I've ever seen. Very rarley do I ever watch a video of this length through and through. One big interesting obscurity that would have been nice to cover would be the I-400 Japanese supersubs that the US encountered in 1946 I believe. Otherwise this was an amazing video and you have earned a subscriber.
@@tanman5123you're wrong about the Ustashe. Almost all of it is serbian propaganda. An example: The "concentration camps for children" were in fact just orphanages for children war victims, run by nuns.
When talking about Lauri Torni, you forgot to mention that he renamed himself Larry Thorne when he fought for the US. The graveyard you showed even bore his americanized name instead of his actual name.
I have a few complains- Operation Dead Man Floating is actually known as Operation Mincemeat The probounciation of German words are incorrect, Anne Frank spent most of her life in the Netherlands, I feel you didnt touch on the horrors of Unit 731 enough, and you didnt mention the surrender of Italy at the end. With all that being said, i loved this video, it was incredibly well researched and written, and its one of the best videos ive ever watched, and you earned my sub.
I really think pronunciation is important for a historical video. There's so many bizarre letter swaps, the excape is awful, and saying Coco Chanel as Channel??
28:41 This photo, I absolutely love it The lights pointing at the "thing" The AA guns firing The city's total silence Mixed with the background context and mystery that unfolded from it
If the Soviet's put bullet holes in the Austrian painters globe, How do they not know which of the 3 of these globes were his..? Wouldn't it be the one with bullets in it?
Your research skills are pretty... uh... bad. You have wrong names for people and operations throughout the video. The most egregious mistake is "Operation Dead Man Floating". It was Operation Mincemeat, and it certainly shouldn't be on Tier 8. It's probably the most widely-known and studied piece of WWII psyops, right up there with the recovery of an Enigma Machine and the Ghost Army. I'm not saying it's wrong of you to be interested in this kind of thing, but if you're going to present a video about it to people who conceivably have never encountered these bits of history before, please take the time and effort to make sure you're accurate.
What I surprised is not on this iceberg is Hitlers "daughter". Bernile Nienau, was of Jewish descent but Roman Catholic, had the same birthday as Hitler. Due to this, plus seeing him while she was visiting Obersalzberg, they formed a "friendship" in which she and her mother would visit Hitler, as well as Bernile writing letters to him and calling him "Uncle Hitler". It wasn't until 1933, in which Hitler had already known of the girls jewish decent, that Martin Bormann, head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, forbidden Bernile and her mother from visiting Hitler. Hitler didn't know about this until his photographer told him, he wasn't allowed to published photos of the girl calling her "his child". Around May 1938, Bernile mother, who had been sending letters to Hitler, was asked to stop.
Panzerschokolade, may be a myth, but Scho-Ka-Kola does exist. Its chocolate in a small round 2 inch or so tin, developed for athletes for the 1936 Olympics. It packs the same amount caffeine as 3 tins of red bull! As I discovered after I scoffed a whole tin! I was buzzin all day! Yes it is still available.
There is a theory out their that is the source of the Panzerschokolade is Scho-Ka-Kola. There are some references to Panzer drivers getting the highly caffeinated chocolate in reports and interviews prior to that book being released. The theory says that due to a poor translation or improper research that the two were combined. Having read some of the interviews by Allied interpreters, I can see this mistake happening. While some are excellent, a number are clearly by poor German speakers judging from the bizarre 'testimonials' they recorded.
@@louiskeser9255 Quite possible, it was issued in assault rations to Germans troops and their allies.during the war. They usually got a tin or two just before a planned attack. Sometimes they would get them after a successful assault to keep them going until they reached rear areas for R&R (or more usually to stay awake enough to hold what they had just taken).
The Soviet Japanese war did end. The Empire of Japan ceased to exist as an entity which cedes victory to the Soviets, who also do not exist to continue this war today. Japan and Russia are two newer states that are laying claim to the islands.
With all the talk about James Bond, I'm surprised Otto Skorzeny wasn't mentioned. He was the guy who made the Ersatz Panther tanks (disguised Panther tanks made to look like American M10 tank destroyers) and was commander of the disguised troops, allegedly was personally going to Paris to kill Eisenhower, glided into a compound to rescue Mussolini successfully rescuing him without firing a shot overpowering 200 enemy troops with his smaller group of paratroopers and SS, planned and was intended to carry out the assassinations of FDR, Churchill, and Stalin, led an airborne raid to kill Yugoslavia leader Tito, kidnapped Hungary's king's son and forced him to resign. During his trial after the war, a British special ops agent testified in his defense, escaped prison in 1948, served in Egypt as a military advisor with some old colleagues even helping train Palestinians in guerilla warfare to fight in Gaza, then allegedly worked for the Israeli Mossad after they decided to recruit him instead of assassinating him where he ended up helping them get rid of Egyptians (which he had worked for), he'd also found the far right the Paladin Group to conduct special operations and political meddling as well as Spain's first neo nazi group. At his funeral his former SS gave him one final salute and Skorzeny had never renounced Nazism despite legally being de-nazified by the German government. This man was a real life James Bond villain.
Absolutely awesome video man i thoroughly enjoyed it. To address one point though horses werent made obsolete by world war 2. If you have a look at the numbers its quite staggering how much of germanies artiliery was horse drawn.
Correct, much of Germans army wasn’t mechanized, and when they invaded Russia, they used a majority of their vehicles, including their Air Force. It was because of this that made the western front much easier, if you could say that after losing hundreds of thousands still, for the Allies.
First entry and its misspelled. It´s "Die Glocke" not "Die Gloke. Why are you lying, by telling us, you had putting in so much work and effort into this project?
This was a really well done and thought out iceberg. Though minor critique is that some of the music choices were a bit odd and didn’t really fit what was being talked about.
World war 2 is by far the most interesting thing that has happened in recent history, so many questions still that we can only theorise over and it all happened less than 100 years ago. Strange how so much history can just disappear or be so misunderstood despite it happening in our grandparents lifetime. Makes you think though, if something similar happened to us how many stories would just be lost and forgotten.
It definitely is but you learn and hear so much over the years about ww2 and rightfully so I wish there ww1 would get the same kind of attention I know ww2 largely shaped the world we live in today but ww1 was the foundation that it's was built on and ww1 changed the world way more than people realize
There are so many questions we are not allowed to ask. It is probably because the evil side won the war. I can judge by the results. The world is in deep shit and we need another global war to fix it. This time the people against the elites, not the people against each other.
32:48 -- Glenn Miller, musician and fighter pilot. Few people know he once shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 by tossing a trombone at it. Neither do they know he was the world heavyweight boxing champ in the late 1930s or that he was part of the posse that brought down Bonnie and Clyde.
Very good iceberg! But I cant believe you didnt mention juan pujol Garcia or maybe i just missed it, his story is definitely one of my favorites of ww2
Ian Flemming was also the author of the Trout Memo, a counter espionage guide used by British military planners for Operation Mincemeat (which is misnamed in this video as "Operation Dead Man Floating").

@@hayward325 Not at the same time. The Soviet invasion started a month after the German one ,when Poland basically fell already. You might argue if it was justified or not ,doesnt matter ,the fact that you CAN'T argue against is that Poland took these lands when the Soviets were weak, and the when the Soviets got stronger they took these lands back. Its just a fact ,Poland occupied these lands. The Poles had every right to be pissed ,but the Soviets had as much right to take their lands occupied by Poland. Its that simple
Hey man, great video. Pretty engaging, always interesting to learn weird shit about WW2. Knew about a lot of these, but was surprised at just how many I didn't know of, or had gotten my wires crossed & misattributed (the Ustashe/Croatia one, for example - I always thought it was the Germans who made the forbidden soap). Only real complaint is the pronunciation of some of your words - but it's a minor annoyance, and understandable considering how much shit you crammed into this one video (and how tired you probably ended up after recording everything). Looking forward to the next one, if you do decide to make one. Perhaps even some iceberg tiers into different conflicts, like Vietnam. Anyway, I enjoyed watching/listening, have a good one.
One thing about the pervitin, they were trading Japan for the ingredients for it (Japan were making speed which would then get synthesized by the germans) and Japan already warned them about using it for the army, they strongly recommended them to use the drugs for the workers instead. Also there's a movie about the swing youth called Swing kids (90's), i remember we saw it when I was in history class (back when there were still teachers that actually cared about teaching and tried to make learning fun with facts and stuff outside curriculum) and it's one of my favorites i like the part at the end where they chant "Swing heil" as they're getting arrested as a last middle finger.
Japan had access to large amounts of Ephedra plants which contain pseudoephedrine. This is still the starting point for methamphetamine production today. China still supplies the vast amount of this material.
I love this video and hate it at the same time. It's super interesting and a great watch yet I won't sleep for a few days just thinking about these. When I first heard about Die Glocke had issues sleeping for like a week straight. Also, thanks and props to you for not censoring anything. Especially with RUclips these days. Earned a sub.

The disappearance of Flight 19 is explained by the fact that the flight instructor somehow didn't realize he was over the Bahamas and not the Florida Keys. So he flew his men north east to find land, but ended up in the ocean. It's really tragic because this mistake was easily avoidable and cost 5 people their lives.
It's also worth pointing out the original audio transcripts exist and a lot of the most famous quotes from the flight are altered or literally made up.
Im sure you've seen it but LEMMINO's video on the Bermuda Triangle does a great job on grounding the conspiracy of Flight 19 and providing the real reasons they got lost like you mentioned.
And let's not forget that a search and rescue Catalina flying boat also disappeared whilst searching for Flight 19

The thing about Pete Ellis that I constantly see videos like this ignore/miss out on is that the Japanese likely read his book before doing their own testing prior to WWII. He didn't predict what the Japanese would do, he reasoned the best method for them and did the general work for them.
Or the way it played out just made sense
Ok. Jjojki❤jjjjjjiijjjjjjjj❤ij❤jijjjjijii❤❤j
It was a no-brainer and the obvious route they would take.
Not being funny, the US Admiralty were in a constant argument about bettering Pearl Harbour protection and how Japan would attack. Even more so, with the British attack on Italy, that proved it was indeed possible. In fact, that attack only added fuel to the fire and kicked off a year-long debate between the frontline admirals and the pen pusher admirals. Sadly, the pen pushers won, and well, we know exactly how it played out.
They had first-hand reports, which were used as evidence, and the guy detailed what would be needed to defend Pearl Harbour.... which, again, that too was all requested and even had improvements added onto it by other admirals (front line) pushing for it.
Sadly, one of the main pen pushers/desk jockeys was adamant that capital ships, aka Battleships, were still the future and the main thing needed. They felt they were all that was needed, and having them there was enough to stop anyone looking to attack.
Ignored increasing their airforce based there and didn't bother with torpedo nets and increasing AA guns.
It's crazy, but one needs to remember that at the time, the US was playing catch up to all of the other world navies and such. Some of the British admirals were still under the same belief that battleships were the mainstay and queen of the chess board. So, it wasn't just the US stuck in their old ways, and like the US, their ignorance and arrogance cost them a heavy price to pay.
That's the sad thing about it all, they knew what was needed, and yet, they chose to remain ignorant and let their arrogant ways dictate the commoners/working class men and women stationed there their outcomes. Tragically, a lot of good men and women needlessly died that day.
God knows why desk jockeys were allowed to have the final say and why the front line Admirals were ignored, even though they had the better experience and knew a tonne more about their surroundings and changes happening around them.
This is what you'll find with western military. F ups that get covered up, or the blame pinned on someone else. Heck they managed to keep this obscure in History, most don't even know the man who warned Pearl Harbour would be attacked a year before it happened and advised on what was needed to better defend it. Lieutenant Commander John N. Opie III, USN
The US Navy, both in Washington, D.C. and on station in the Pacific and Atlantic, studied the attack carefully, and suggestions were made to install torpedo nets at Pearl Harbor, which was recognized to be vulnerable. No action was taken, however, thanks to bureaucratic inertia. Japanese planners also studied Taranto, however. And they would take action on December 7, 1941.

1:20:00 I got an answer for this one, “the British 17” refers to a set of 17 British names found at Auschwitz in 2009. No one knows what exactly the list was for but the main theory that gets thrown around is that it was a list of members of a secret unit of British soldiers fighting for the SS. The only other theory is that they were prisoners of war who got sent to the camp. Some other things of note about the list is the fact that eight of the seventeen names had check marks next to them and on the back of the list somebody wrote common German words with the English translations. It includes the words “now”, “never” and “since then”

Its worth mentioning that Iva Toguru D'Aquino (Tokyo Rose) is also (i believe) the only person to have ever been pardoned of a conviction of treason. She was an american citizen visiting family in Japan when the when the war broke out, and the empire obviously wouldn't let her go home. She chose to write and give the radio broadcasts using slang that sounded insulting when taken out of literal context. IIRC, she was only pardoned after American soldiers who were stationed in Japan came out in her defense, stating that she actually boosted morale among troops, and that they went put of their way tp listen to her during her scheduled broadcasts.
Edit: credit to @wendigoon for the story.
Actually she WAS supposed to be trying to break Morale but her and a writer were able to make it almost a Enemy Sponsored radio show for the Allies because a lot of Japanese people weren’t that great with English at the time and were able to get jokes/sarcasm over their heads.
Thank you for this comment! I can't believe he didn't include this part...
@@realmothchu not all of us are fellow Wendigooners (that’s where I found it out lol) we must be patient and spread knowledge brother
@@TheBlaskowitzgooners unite
@@realmothchu no problem, also, to give an example of the slang she would use, she often referred to her listeners as "Boneheads". She told the Japanese that it was a great insult to the soldiers' intelligence, but of course that wasn't how she and the young soldiers understood it.
Was not expecting the random Sly Cooper soundtrack among WW2 knowledge but much appreciated
When speaking about Tokyo Rose you've failed to mention that she actually was loved by the US soldiers, because she used the fact that her japanese employers didn't know english very well to insert jokes that would cheer up the troops. It can be seen in the audio you've used. Besides, she was coerced to do this, and she always wanted to return home to USA. So, i think that you've misrepresented her, making her look like one of the Axis Sallys. This is the only negative thing I can say about your video. Overall, great job!
I don't know what soldiers you talked to, but my father & uncle who served on those ships at sea, hated her guts!
My father came home with a picture of her under interrogation!
@@carolynnichols3476 I may give you a link to the video with a detailed analysis of her story. You can even show it to your dad, if it is possible
@@goblinappreciator9631 my dad lived through her propaganda. He's been dead since 1971
Have to agree, the representation of the individual was quite poor in the video, a lot of pieces of the iceberg don't need much expounding upon but as the individual was brought up and not just tokyo rose as a collective, it felt a bit empty to not have it a bit better represented. to a quick side note, I can see why several soldiers wouldn't like her since it was propoganda and was meant to demoralize, but there's only so much twisting that can be done in that position without getting caught, so yea, no surprise that she wasn't universally liked, don't think that's what anyone was meaning.
"Your favorite enemy.."
That's all it took for her to win me over.
I'm still amazed how unknown the story of Léo Major is. The madlad liberated a town by himself among other things and even has feats during the Korean War
I know! It's crazy! We may be thinking of two different people, I'm not to far into the video, but I know about a French-Canadian who liberated a Belgian town by himself, it is very impressive to me.
My man even fits the appearance, eye patch and a name that is a title of an officer
Has anyone made a movie? I feel like someone should make a movie:)
I'm so mad he isn't in the video
What did he do in Korea lol? kill innocents?
Well, the Philadelphia experiment wasn't about teleporting. It was attempt to make a ship invisible
Here's one to add from a relative who was there that's kind of spooky if you like that sort of thing. After the war and trials, at Spandau prisoner where some were held and eventually only one remained, namely, Rudolf Hess. He was held at time,es in the basement and would be moved around depending on who was in charge of prison as it would rotate between allies and the Soviets. They differed on treatment of the prisoners and Hess was known to be unstable and prone to be annoying with his complaints to get out of the cell and get stay in a hospital. According to a relative who was stationed there, both Soviets and Americans would spend as little time in the basement level as possible due to figures being seen by troops and believed to be ghosts and an eerie song would be hummed in the dead of night. Obviously the troops were like nah mate I'm not going down there until him and his unit on base leave were talking about the song at a bar and a local said they knew the song and told them it was a polish marching song and the person asked what they were wearing and it matched the description of what polish soldier wore at the time of 1939 German invasion. Naturally throughly creeped out, they listened to the humming in the basement and never went down as my relative put it "he already had a guard watching him." And the nazi deserved the haunting with the summary concluding with "fuck em" He always wondered whether once Hess committed suicide the ghost disappeared but never intends to go back and check.
Interesting story bro, who was the relation? A neighbour of my grandpas - a man in his 90s now - was a foreign legion member and a prison guard to hess in the later years of his imprisonment. I’ll have to relay the story if I ever get a chance to speak with him again. That’s defo creepy as fuck though haha
Thank you for adding Tier 11 and 12. The bear is always my favorite story. People back in the day had a strange relationship with bears. The national park service had bear feeding areas where people could sit and watch them eat out in the open. Bears were also talented circus performers.

@@grimsleeper1006 no for real
@@grimsleeper1006 seems like an editing mistake because as he begins to talk it is still well over his audio level. But even still why did he even have that as a clip, it doesn't fit the theme of this video at all. It sounds like a massacre shooting not war
Part 2 for sure, go mental with it. All the way to the core of the Earth and through to the other side. Working down from the tip of this one and then working back up through an iceberg on the other side of the planet. Go bonkers, get silly, get whacky, perhaps even a little humorous, maybe.
Seriously though, you did a really amazing job on this and I would love to see more obscure WW2 coverage from you. Maybe even WW1 and the interwar period if you're up for it. Keep up the great work, partner.
notes about the krummlauf (curved gun). i saw this in a documenatry when i was a kid. apparently it was for tank crews that didnt have turrets. it was designed for shooting out of a tank hatch. when the bullet hit the curve it actually breaks into pieces, making it more effective for tank crews to spray infantry trying to get on the tanks.
The shrapnel was basically ineffective because it lost most of its kinetic energy, the only one that was even partially effective was the least bent barrels, and they broke after 75-100 shots
It wasn't made specifically for that, but found useful and put into place, if I'm correct.
I watched a video not long ago where a Garand Thumb actually got ahold of one of these and were allowed to fire something like 20 rounds through it (these things don't last real long and the owner allowed them to check it out and see exactly what it did, but didn't want them to destroy it) and they found, that ZERO of the rounds broke into pieces but actually all the rounds that they fired stayed totally intact. They were, as were MANY people in the comments, absolutely shocked by the outcome. Not to contradict what your saying, just adding what I saw tested and the results that came out of it.
Not often do I watch an iceberg video and not even know most of the ones in the first tier, that’s how ik imma love this video
The thing about Desmond Doss is that he was never actually court martial’ed. The movie added that just for tension. The other thing the movie got wrong is that he didn’t actually meet his wife in a hospital, but rather at a library.
There's one of those German bells along normandy but honestly can't tell you where we actually were at, at that time. We didn't do any proper tours, we just drove along on the back roads and found all these tiny villages where people had collected stuff so you could wander around taking it all in. Powerful place.

"The Amerikabomber had 6 engines."
*shows bomber with 4 engines*
I mean the bomber never left the drawing board. There is no visual aid for the aircraft bc there was never one made
@@zeddddd2846i heard there was 1 or 2 prototypes found hiden in some random farm in Germany.
But it might be fake, you never know with the internet
@@typektypowy What kinda farms are out there in Germany that can hide massive multi-engine bombers bro?? they got barns there with barns spanning hundreds of feet across like an airport hangar??
@@zeddddd2846 There were multiple bomber designs built by different companies under the 'Amerikabomber' name. The 'Amerikabomber' was a project design competition designation, not the actual name of a specific plane, the same way the US Air Force today has its Joint Strike Fighter program. The thing is though, nobody ever won the contract for the Amerikabomber competition because all the designs put forward were, frankly, not very good.
The airplane shown at 1:32:14 was the Me-264, Messerschmitt's design entry to the Amerikabomber competition. Only two were finished as airworthy prototypes, and by Sept. 1944 (which is when this plane allegedly crashed off the Maine coast), both planes had been destroyed by Allied bombings, so there's no way it could have been the Me-264. Not that it fit the description of a six-engined bomber anyway.
There was only one six-engined Amerikabomber design that ever reached airworthy status, the Ju-390, which was Junkers' entry to the Amerikabomber competition. But it would also could not have made the flight because the Ju-390 as well as the majority of the German bomber fleet by 1944 had been grounded permanently.
And even assuming that somebody like Hitler for some reason gave it express permission to go take a meaningless flight to Maine, it still would have been extremely difficult, if not downright impossible for it to fly all the way to the US coast in September 1944. By then, the vast majority of metropolitan France was liberated and no longer in German control, so the bomber would have had no other choice but to fly from Germany proper, which adds like 500 miles of enemy-infested airspace to its journey. If Maine wasn't somehow already out of range, it would have also have had to deal with enemy fighter aircraft which would have hunted this singular bomber down.
Also, I know I'm going on a rant here by now, but this entire video is just so poorly researched as a whole. And I'm not just talking about this guy spouting wild unsubstantiated rumours or using the wrong photos for entries, I mean he's straight up telling misinformation. For example, when Flight 19 got lost, he claims that the pilots started talking incoherently and that they started talking about how the ocean 'looked strange'. This never happened in reality. The official Navy radio transmissions have been transcribed and are available online.
All of the pilots stayed calm and professional and in their last messages, the pilots even agreed that when one plane ran out of fuel and would have to ditch, the other planes would also ditch into the water together instead of abandoning their comrades. Choosing to go down with your buddies instead of trying to save yourselves takes balls and bravery, and yet the video doesn't portray any of that at all.
The way he spins this story into some sensationalized thing where he implies that the pilots are going insane or getting lost for supernatural reasons is just so incredibly disrespectful. In reality, Flight 19 most likely had a navigational error that led them to think that their home base was eastwards, not westwards as it really was, which meant that the pilots were actually flying away from their base the whole time when they tried to go home. 14 men died because of a tragic error and yet he uses it as a basis to make some hocus pocus shit about how the pilots were going crazy.
He talks about topics of mass murder and sexual assault of innocents without any modicum of respect, and he calls the incredibly tragic story of August Landmesser as a 'great story', even though there is nothing remotely great about it. August and his wife were broken up by the Nazis simply because he peacefully opposed the regime and because one of them was Jewish, and as a result they were both sent to concentration camps. His wife Irene died in a concentration camp after giving birth to a daughter that would never get to see his father, and August himself was killed as a soldier forced to die in battle as a penal soldier, neither ever knowing what happened to the love of his life nor that he ever had a daughter. It's one of millions of the tragic stories of injustice and lives cut short caused by the Nazis and by the war as a whole, and he somehow still calls it a 'great story'.
As a whole, it's just incredibly disrespectful and ignorant to see him treat history for this. He talks about it like it's some videogame lore. The Pokemon music blaring throughout this doesn't help either. A 12-year old could make a video essay more respectful to history and the legacies of people than this. This is way too long to be just a comment but I just desperately wanted to get my thoughts out. Nobody should ever treat history, especially history as serious as WW2, like this.
Hi! Um i dont really know if someone has told you this, but Anne Frank died during the war, in the concentration camp. She never got to rewrite the diary. The one who rewrote her diaries was her father, the only one who has survived the horrors of the Holocaust, and he had made the deliberate decision to get rid of the details that he considered would embarras his daughter OR will make his dead wife look bad as to publish the diary and honour their memory. So he made the two have a better relashionship and he eliminated all the chapters discussing sexuality and romance, self-discovery and the changes of puberty, and stuff like that. But he later published the origibal version, unaltered. So it was him that edited the diary, not Anne
Yuh
I’m not denying that Otto edited the diary but Anne did her own edits, even calling herself “Anne Robin” in some drafts
1:32:14 what you're referring to the Amerikabomber was actually a nickname for a series of prototype bombers and the one you used in the picture is the me 264 which had only four engines. The couples in Maryland described it as a six engined plane so its actually the Junkers Ju 390 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_390
Honestly it's probably more likely a prototype Focke-Wulf Ta 400, because the Ju 390 prototype was never finished
@@GooseOfYorkAllegedly
@@GooseOfYorkCheckout Bedtime Stories - his playlist with Nazi Experiments, I think the one about nuclear bombs and New York.

This is a crazy iceberg! It was incredibly interesting and I appreciated the time you took to give a good and brief explanation of each entry.
But I will say I'm somewhat surprised that Henry Tandey isn't mentioned on this list. Only somewhat because his relevance to this actually doesn't pertain to WWII itself, but rather the ALLEGED identity of a wounded German soldier whose life he spared... Even if it's not true, it makes for a very interesting story.
I’ve never seen a iceberg so detailed. I also very much appreciated how you did your best to give explanations to a lot of the mysteries/ provide us with what most people agree upon, instead of just spreading misinformation for shock reaction. New subscriber here for sure!

The things he said about Ustaše is definitely misinformation. The one about children's camps for example. They were war orphanages where nuns saved children who were victims of war.
This was a great video man, subscribed immediately :)
5:57 The other reason Hirohito wasn’t charged is because his role as a actual leader is iffy to say the least. The emperor in Japan had historically been seen as a figurehead but many times was often superseded in actual power by the military. In feudal Japan, this was in the form of the Shogun. In WW2, it was instead under the rule of the military regime that superseded the Emperor and previous republic elements of the Meiji era of Japan. That ultimately meaning it was near impossible to guarantee Hirohito really had a say over his own government or even fully understood the stories and possible lies his advisors fed him. Could he have been more involved then we know? Maybe, but that would be assuming what we don’t know. And given how Hirohito’s side passion as emperor was being a marine biologist, he wasn’t that keen about ruling a country or military.
that's a common cop out. he made the sole final decision to end the war and surrender which proves he had the power the entire time.
@@DefensiveDriver Well he actually didn’t. There was a attempted coup that almost happened when the peace treaty was layed out. The only reason Hirohito was able to sway things in his favor is most of even the militants in the government had come to already join in on the suggestion of some kind of peace because of things like the impending Soviet invasion. That caused the coup against Hirohito to end in a failure, and most of that coup’s existence was just down to the treaty’s term of unconditional surrender as they still understood that there had to be some kind of peace established. There’s also the fact that even if he had the sole final decision at the end, it was not consistent with the rest of the war because Japan by that point had fallen into disarray and that whole military government was incredibly fragmented and disjointed to the point their own influence and control was weakening. So the Emperor being able to seize control would not mean he had that same degree of control “the entire time”.
@@kaijuslayer3334 well he actually did. even after two atomic bombs and soviet invasion they were still debating to not surrender until hirohito himself intervened and ordered the supreme council to accept, which he only did because it guaranteed the imperial throne; otherwise they would have kept fighting.
@@DefensiveDriver Even in the situation you described, he wasn’t the sole decision maker. All he did was essentially chime in on a vote 😂
@@kaijuslayer3334 he gave the final order dumbass they were going to debate forever until he finally used his authority he had the entire time.

There was a Finnish soldier that took 30 pills at once by accident. He skiied(ski'd?) about 400km (250miles) and got exploded by two mines and other crazy stuff. His name is Aimo Koivunen and i suggest that you read the story
Oh damn I remember hearing about that xD it had to be a wild ride... No pun intended.
8:23 a note about the battle is that the prisoners wereformer french prime ministers, generals, tennis star Jean Borotra, and even Charles de Gaulle's sister , some including De Gaulle's sister took arms and fought the SS along the coalition. Also to note Gangle died from a mauser round while trying to get Paul Reynauld, former French prime minister to safety.

okay so i know you already made the video but i have a few other WW2 topics i find genuinely interesting. They may not be AS DARK as the iceberg, I just thought they were kind of interesting:
-Dr. Martens (WWII origins)
-Max Ernest (EXTREMELY famous surrealist artist captured during WWII)
-Massive explosion of the (art subculture) Dadaism and Surrealist movements during both WWI and WWII.
-The use of the term “Asperger” SPECIFICALLY DURING WWII
(Used as a term to describe disabled ppl “not disabled enough” to be killded during the holocaust)
-Pink triangle camps
What even constitutes "not disabled enough"?
"Ah, Tim is missing a foot, he's technically disabled but we're not gonna kill him"
@@Willowpostinglike if you can still do work in a camp, just terrible social skills
@@Willowpostingin this case, it means autistic people and others with similar conditions who could pass as "normal"
@@hithedragon7842
Well, we used to call level one autism as “high functioning autism” or “Asperger’s syndrome”
Die Glocke is presumably a concept for a nuclear reactor chamber, so designed to be durable OR it is a bunker design against air raid. Some of these bunkers were called "Glocken"
Müller, the superior of Eichmann was killed shortly before the capture of Berlin, he was burried by the SS in a massgrave in a german road. He is claimed to be alive, by dubious statements of Eichmann (he talked a lot and most of it was bullshit) to make Müller his scapegoat.
the two versions of the diary were kinda created by her father, this is at least presumed, that her father cut out a love interest and a dislike to his wife.
hirohito was not judged as a warcriminal, because a) the democratic nation of japan got overthrown by a militaristic dictatorship, that used the emperor increasingly like a puppet (similar to the emperor of Germany in WW1, b) the emperor did the main work to allow a capitulation of Japan, preventing a lot of US deaths and even more Japanese deaths, c) he was used as a safeguard against communism in the country by the USA.
the Battle of Itter didn't involved German soldiers fighting German soldiers, but a group of Wehrmacht soldiers, who were Austrians, forming a resistence group, while pretending to be an actual loyal part of the army. The "german" SS group was largely not composed by Germans, but by "German Reichdeutsche" so recrutes, who were claimed to be ethnical germanic, but were simply replacements by the big attrition state of 1945.
the german expedition to antartica was about the original german part of this continent, who was absorbed by the Versailles treaty by UK. the Nazi-party ignored this treaty, so they continued to call it by its german name, drove to the coast and threw some spikes into the inner areas with some nazi-flags on top of them by plane. The area is so remote and the flight was inland to the continent, therby these spikes are still in this area and not a single one of them was ever recovered. The nazis didnt really revisited the area ever again. The U-boats used argentinia regularly over the whole war.
Kammler is an actual difficult case, because the USA has some documents of his presence in their prisons in Nov. 1945, while we know, that he was in Prag at the day 9 of May 1945, when the red army conquered the town and we had sources, that he killed himself prior to fell into the hands of the red army. It is more likely , that the USA had a different person, because every mention of him lacks in US documents, except 2 cases, who were separate (so yea 3 Kammler's) and claimed a lot of more "captured" better known and higher ranking people, who were in some cases proven wrong claims. Even the most prominent name, Göring, is claimed to be captured in the same document, while we KNOW, that he was captured in a different area by the same army. Thereby it is most likely, that
a) Kammler killed himself to evade a capture by the Sovjets OR less likely
b) Kammler killed himself, while being in custody of the US army (and the US army hides this, to not offend the Russians, that the US army let him kill himself, after the red army captured him), without an explanation, why the Russians should exchange this guy to the USA.
the claim in this video about the betrayer of Anne's hiding-spot by a prominent jewish figure of Amsterdam is made by an US-dutch TV-mystery-show and heavily criticized to be a dilettante attention-seeking productions of crocks.
in reality the search was made, because to feed these hidden jews the dutch company had to use black-market-bought food-stamps and the search team had members of the section in their team, who were responsible for these kinds of crimes to discover the actual source of these fraud-food-stamps. the Germans were in their reports themself surprised about the discovery of the Jews. These food-stamps made the discovery of these hidden Jews over time often possible.
the "spear of destiny" is just one of many insignia and all of them are heavily non-historic make-believes. The actual main insignia of Germany was the "heilige Lanze", not the spear, but only the spear-tip and the actual source of it is Lombards in italy, the actual speartip is inside the golden part of it, the other parts were later added to make the spear-tip look more modern. it's real age is around 700-800 and it is a symbol of Karl the great and his submission of the Lombards, that was followed with his anointing as an emperor by the pope, because he saved Rome from this Italian and by Rome claimed, non-catholic tribe.
i hope, that the american soldiers actual die, because they put the crown on their head and made pictures of it (notice the many rings and other stolen jewellery on his hands). This crown is only for the head of a Kaiser, elected by 7 dutches and 3 bishops. not even the Nazis used it for a crown and even the prussians and austrian Kaisers of nationalism were honourable enough to keep this crown alone.
Kammler wasn't in Prague, he supposedly killed himself just outside of Prague (Jílové u Prahy, west of Prague), so he could have escaped with the other Germans (Germany signed a capitualtion with Czech resistance, many of them fled west and the Red Army came into empty Prague, which was already under control by Czechs). There were many reports of him supposedly surviving and being planned to be interrogated (even reports that he and some group around him escaped the prisoner camp to aid Soviet attempts to capture German technology). Kammler knew a lot about secret weapons, so he was a very valuable guy. Why would you kill yourself when you can sell your knowledge in return for his innocence?
Either he killed himself or he was captured and interrogated. Can't prove any of the theories because we lack clues.
@@ugencz8364 while it is correct, that Russia treated their prisoners sometimes similar to the USA for technology, it is at the same time true, that the Nazi-regime indoctrinated a lot of their citizens, that suizidal actions would be better than to be captured by the red army. This is explicitly the case for Kammler, who would have been able to flee to both side sof the enemy and choose to remain on the Nazi-side to the bitter end.
A lot of the prisoners of the red army were treated badly or simply shot, it was a thing of chances and Kammler was involved in a lot of crimes to soviet citizens/soldiers and in occupied soviet areas, that was not always ignored by the individual officers of the red army.
the tendency of suizidal actions by prisoners were even the case in the US army side. The US army just tries to hide these numbers. A lot of these "thousands", who died in prison camps were actual suicides. This was partly of course a great excuse to simply kill someone, so the suicides rate sin these camps are more dubious than anything else.
Still the death of him was claimed by his Ordonnanzoffizier, some SS-Untersturmführer Zeuner, und his driver Preuk, so 3 witnesses after the war. A member of the SS-women-department, who was in the same group like Kammler, Ingeborg Alix Schaumburg-Lippe, claimed the same thing decades later in her biography. A lot of these sources were not likely to be influenced by the allied nations of both sides. In fact, Miss Schaumburg-Lippe would have highlighted the possibility of soviet involvement, because she was heavily anti-communist and it would have made her book more interesting.

No sponsors no begging for likes no begging for subscription just 2 hrs of ww2 rambling. This my favourite iceberg video. Thanks and can't wait for you to cover more topics
This is one of 3 videos i have downloaded on my phone, and i watched it while stuck in a bunker hiding from airstrikes, from israel, i live in gaza.
If this is real, I’m so sorry, and I hope you are safe.
Thanks, some very interesting segments. BTW - The British 17pounder was the ammunition size, not the "weight of the barrel" of the field version, nor the weight when mounted in a tank or tank destroyer. It's just how they named stuff. The Brits had a 40mm called a 2 pounder gun, a 57mm anti-tank gun that was a 6 pounder (and was probably the best weapon of the war for its relatively small caliber), a 25-pounder that was 87.6mm, and so on.

Thank you
41:09 bruh he should've narrated the whole video 😭
This is easily the most entertaining videos I've seen this entire year, and one of the most interesting and high quality videos I've ever seen. Very rarley do I ever watch a video of this length through and through. One big interesting obscurity that would have been nice to cover would be the I-400 Japanese supersubs that the US encountered in 1946 I believe. Otherwise this was an amazing video and you have earned a subscriber.
Thank you!
@@tanman5123you're wrong about the Ustashe. Almost all of it is serbian propaganda. An example: The "concentration camps for children" were in fact just orphanages for children war victims, run by nuns.

Proud to be a part of this damn good video!
I have a few complains- Operation Dead Man Floating is actually known as Operation Mincemeat The probounciation of German words are incorrect, Anne Frank spent most of her life in the Netherlands, I feel you didnt touch on the horrors of Unit 731 enough, and you didnt mention the surrender of Italy at the end. With all that being said, i loved this video, it was incredibly well researched and written, and its one of the best videos ive ever watched, and you earned my sub.
Anne Frank was also an early pioneer in the use of the ball point pen,....or was that her uncle?

Awesome video! it’s good to see all this stuff in one presentation. A lot of work went into this, well done
Your research skills are pretty... uh... bad. You have wrong names for people and operations throughout the video. The most egregious mistake is "Operation Dead Man Floating". It was Operation Mincemeat, and it certainly shouldn't be on Tier 8. It's probably the most widely-known and studied piece of WWII psyops, right up there with the recovery of an Enigma Machine and the Ghost Army.
I'm not saying it's wrong of you to be interested in this kind of thing, but if you're going to present a video about it to people who conceivably have never encountered these bits of history before, please take the time and effort to make sure you're accurate.
What I surprised is not on this iceberg is Hitlers "daughter". Bernile Nienau, was of Jewish descent but Roman Catholic, had the same birthday as Hitler. Due to this, plus seeing him while she was visiting Obersalzberg, they formed a "friendship" in which she and her mother would visit Hitler, as well as Bernile writing letters to him and calling him "Uncle Hitler". It wasn't until 1933, in which Hitler had already known of the girls jewish decent, that Martin Bormann, head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, forbidden Bernile and her mother from visiting Hitler. Hitler didn't know about this until his photographer told him, he wasn't allowed to published photos of the girl calling her "his child". Around May 1938, Bernile mother, who had been sending letters to Hitler, was asked to stop.
She’s lucky
You know the iceberg is going to be crazy when die glocke is at the sky tier
Panzerschokolade, may be a myth, but Scho-Ka-Kola does exist. Its chocolate in a small round 2 inch or so tin, developed for athletes for the 1936 Olympics. It packs the same amount caffeine as 3 tins of red bull! As I discovered after I scoffed a whole tin! I was buzzin all day! Yes it is still available.
There is a theory out their that is the source of the Panzerschokolade is Scho-Ka-Kola. There are some references to Panzer drivers getting the highly caffeinated chocolate in reports and interviews prior to that book being released. The theory says that due to a poor translation or improper research that the two were combined. Having read some of the interviews by Allied interpreters, I can see this mistake happening. While some are excellent, a number are clearly by poor German speakers judging from the bizarre 'testimonials' they recorded.
@@louiskeser9255 Quite possible, it was issued in assault rations to Germans troops and their allies.during the war. They usually got a tin or two just before a planned attack. Sometimes they would get them after a successful assault to keep them going until they reached rear areas for R&R (or more usually to stay awake enough to hold what they had just taken).
I bet it's a mixing of things in someone's mind. Meth was issued by some countries during WW2 + Scho-Ka-Kola = panzerschokolade
that has nothing to do with subject. Chokolade, cola, coffee etc have caffeine by nature and that was not the point.
The Soviet Japanese war did end. The Empire of Japan ceased to exist as an entity which cedes victory to the Soviets, who also do not exist to continue this war today. Japan and Russia are two newer states that are laying claim to the islands.
semantics
With all the talk about James Bond, I'm surprised Otto Skorzeny wasn't mentioned. He was the guy who made the Ersatz Panther tanks (disguised Panther tanks made to look like American M10 tank destroyers) and was commander of the disguised troops, allegedly was personally going to Paris to kill Eisenhower, glided into a compound to rescue Mussolini successfully rescuing him without firing a shot overpowering 200 enemy troops with his smaller group of paratroopers and SS, planned and was intended to carry out the assassinations of FDR, Churchill, and Stalin, led an airborne raid to kill Yugoslavia leader Tito, kidnapped Hungary's king's son and forced him to resign. During his trial after the war, a British special ops agent testified in his defense, escaped prison in 1948, served in Egypt as a military advisor with some old colleagues even helping train Palestinians in guerilla warfare to fight in Gaza, then allegedly worked for the Israeli Mossad after they decided to recruit him instead of assassinating him where he ended up helping them get rid of Egyptians (which he had worked for), he'd also found the far right the Paladin Group to conduct special operations and political meddling as well as Spain's first neo nazi group. At his funeral his former SS gave him one final salute and Skorzeny had never renounced Nazism despite legally being de-nazified by the German government. This man was a real life James Bond villain.
Absolutely awesome video man i thoroughly enjoyed it. To address one point though horses werent made obsolete by world war 2. If you have a look at the numbers its quite staggering how much of germanies artiliery was horse drawn.
Correct, much of Germans army wasn’t mechanized, and when they invaded Russia, they used a majority of their vehicles, including their Air Force. It was because of this that made the western front much easier, if you could say that after losing hundreds of thousands still, for the Allies.
First entry and its misspelled. It´s "Die Glocke" not "Die Gloke.

World war 2 is by far the most interesting thing that has happened in recent history, so many questions still that we can only theorise over and it all happened less than 100 years ago. Strange how so much history can just disappear or be so misunderstood despite it happening in our grandparents lifetime.
Makes you think though, if something similar happened to us how many stories would just be lost and forgotten.
It definitely is but you learn and hear so much over the years about ww2 and rightfully so I wish there ww1 would get the same kind of attention I know ww2 largely shaped the world we live in today but ww1 was the foundation that it's was built on and ww1 changed the world way more than people realize
There are so many questions we are not allowed to ask. It is probably because the evil side won the war.
I can judge by the results. The world is in deep shit and we need another global war to fix it. This time the people against the elites, not the people against each other.

Great documentary and well put together. But some of the music choice is more distracting than atmospheric euring some of the narration.
Ian Flemming was also the author of the Trout Memo, a counter espionage guide used by British military planners for Operation Mincemeat (which is misnamed in this video as "Operation Dead Man Floating").

@@hayward325 Not at the same time. The Soviet invasion started a month after the German one ,when Poland basically fell already. You might argue if it was justified or not ,doesnt matter ,the fact that you CAN'T argue against is that Poland took these lands when the Soviets were weak, and the when the Soviets got stronger they took these lands back. Its just a fact ,Poland occupied these lands. The Poles had every right to be pissed ,but the Soviets had as much right to take their lands occupied by Poland. Its that simple

Hey man, great video. Pretty engaging, always interesting to learn weird shit about WW2. Knew about a lot of these, but was surprised at just how many I didn't know of, or had gotten my wires crossed & misattributed (the Ustashe/Croatia one, for example - I always thought it was the Germans who made the forbidden soap). Only real complaint is the pronunciation of some of your words - but it's a minor annoyance, and understandable considering how much shit you crammed into this one video (and how tired you probably ended up after recording everything).
Looking forward to the next one, if you do decide to make one. Perhaps even some iceberg tiers into different conflicts, like Vietnam. Anyway, I enjoyed watching/listening, have a good one.
You did ALOT of work for this video… WOW! Great job!! 😊
One thing about the pervitin, they were trading Japan for the ingredients for it (Japan were making speed which would then get synthesized by the germans) and Japan already warned them about using it for the army, they strongly recommended them to use the drugs for the workers instead.
Also there's a movie about the swing youth called Swing kids (90's), i remember we saw it when I was in history class (back when there were still teachers that actually cared about teaching and tried to make learning fun with facts and stuff outside curriculum) and it's one of my favorites i like the part at the end where they chant "Swing heil" as they're getting arrested as a last middle finger.
Japan had access to large amounts of Ephedra plants which contain pseudoephedrine. This is still the starting point for methamphetamine production today. China still supplies the vast amount of this material.
