    My uncle was 16 and lied to sign up. He made it through D Day but sadly was killed September 17, 1944. It killed my great father from a broken heart. Andrew was his only son and begged him not to go. But Andrew did what all these brave men did…they saved the world. Gos bless them all.

      ​@jasondoherty3102 he said they saved the world. He didn't say the US, UK and Soviets were peaceful. Instead of a world run by Nazi Germany, Soviet Union and Imperial Japan we have what we do now. I'd say that's saving thebl world and humanity. And we were by no means friends with the Soviets who were just as bad as Germany, and where are they now due to the pressure we put on them?

      It takes more than one side to make a war. Germany was disarmed in 1933 and the league of nations proposed that the other nations should also disarm. Unfortunately nobody else wanted to do it so they put it off with conferences. Finally France formed an alliance with the Soviet Unions that could only be aimed at Germany so the Germans began to re-arm.
      What a wasted Opportunity.
      Of course now it is clear that the Soviet Union was armed to the teeth and a disarmed Europe might not have been such a great idea, but Europe were not to know that at the time.

    It seems like everyone forgets how difficult and resource-draining occupation is. The Germans ended up having to have at least one occupier for every 10 Norwegian citizens. The quality of the occupation soldiers in France was very poor by D-Day, further ensuring an inevitable Allied victory.

    • @magnusfiskvik509
      @magnusfiskvik509 4 месяца назад +2

      Good point and stretched out it was easier to sabotage as well which also contributed to D-day success delaying panzer divisons to arrive in time from the south of France. Peak it was actually 1 for every 6 in Norway (from the book "Wehrmacht in Norway" - recommended book btw) The main target for Germany in Norway was not Narvik, but Trondheim. They planned a naval base there with room for some 300.000 germans and they even had plans to move the city centre. It's a bit surprising that that fact is so overlooked in documentaries about Norway and WWII. In comparasism there were 'only' some 200.000 Germans who fought alongisde the Finns.

      Except Germany didn’t need to occupy Norway w/ so many divisions. That occupation was a case of racial ideology taking precedent over sound military strategy.
      If Germany had delayed their invasion of the SU then they’d have had more time for the French to acclimate to life under Naz governance. Allowing em to maintain their culture and government for the most part for a few yrs woulda helped alleviate the need for unreliable slave labor to sustain armaments production. Instead the Nazis ruled over regions that didn’t increase their resource production or help w/ their war effort in any significant way

He did not say, nor did I ask, by whom. He let me infer it… When I said that in the end Germany would be driven into the arms of Soviet Russia and Bolshevism, the Ambassador replied: “What of it?

    Embarrassing mistake for a "history" channel…
    And that strange devotion towards the US is also quite strange for a British documentary.
    The documentary also completely leaves out the fact that Germany lost its vast colonial empire in 1918 too.

      Hard to say. Still argued today who was right between Hitler and his generals. The generals regarded it as a traditional war and saw taking Moscow as the goal that proclaimed them victory. That’s also how Stalin felt as well. Considering Moscow falling to Germany as the SU being conquered.
      Hitler felt that the entire reason to invade the SU was for the resources and oil in the caucuses which would disrupt their ability to wage war and starve the SU into submission.
      The indecisiveness in the end likely led to their failure. Either push fully for Moscow or target the oil resources and refrain from creating a front line thousands of miles long lol. Having a front line equivalent to the distance of Oregon to Texas was always gonna cause supply and logistical issues. Even a modern day army wouldn’t likely be able to sustain such a long front line for the yrs Germany was able to

    • @CharlieDexter99

      Hitler defeated himself. If he would have not went for Stalingrad and focused first on England, ESPECIALLY after having nearly the entire British army captured at Dunkirk, it would have been very different.
      However, conquering a country is one thing. Keeping it is another. Either way once the United States came over it would be all over for the Nazis anyway.

      ​@michael-x2f5t Japan's aggressive expansionist policies in Asia, including its invasion of China and occupation of Southeast Asian colonies, were a major source of tension with the U.S.. This caused us to impose oil and steel embargoes on Japan in response to its aggression, which severely limited Japan's resources and economic growth. Both nations made diplomatic miscalculations that exacerbated tensions and made it difficult to find a peaceful resolution.

    Close? They literally conquered and allied/puppeted the entirety of Mainland Europe. Even after failing to capture Moscow in '41 The Germans basically owned all of 'European Russia'. Switzerland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal were the only non aligned countries on the mainland, and even still they all happily co-existed and traded with the Nazi's.
    Also the defeat at Stalingrad is without a doubt the major turning point. Hitler knew himself that the failure of the offensive would result in Germany's loss of the war. Only reason he kept fighting after the offensive failed was because he and nearly all the top ranking Germans knew what was waiting for them if they surrendered. So they desperately clung to power knowing that their lives were basically already over.

    The Tripartite Axis Pact ,Italy, German,and Japanese pact was something else. Germans having to come to the aid of the bumbling Italians,and Japan with its shopping list to get as much German technology as it could. BUT if the Germans werent so arrogant and asked the Japanese for a "wing" ,around 4 squadrons of A6M 22 "Zeroes" in the Battle of Britain,that air war could have much been delayed or went another way. Zeros were flying at that time. But in China still hardly anyone knew of its outstanding performance and flight endurance. It could keep pace and out turn the Spit. Also could stay in the air for hours unlike the ME-109E. Goering fu*ked up again! He would never stick around the frontline that long. More interested in going back to Germany to flaunt his uniforms,medals ,and pomp and circumstance.

      In a war of attrition you are obviously correct. Germany wouldn’t even have lasted in a war of attrition against just a couple of their earliest foes. But that was never Germany’s strategy, they were forced into that type of war after Stalingrad, and to a degree against the British after Dunkirk. The blitzkrieg couldn’t continue in those situations, but that was still their primary strategy, trying to completely avoid a war of attrition.
