WWII: September to November 1944, the Allies Supply Crisis and The Death Factory
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- September 1944 - Montgomery proposes a bold plan to cross the Rhine and encircle Germany’s industrial heartland. If successful, his plan could end the war by Christmas.
October 1944 - The Allies face a major supply crisis. Vital fuel and ammunition still has to be landed at the D-Day beaches. When the port of Antwerp is liberated, it seems the crisis might be over. But first the Allies have to clear the Scheldt Estuary, connecting Antwerp to the sea.
November 1944 - As the Allies advance into Germany they run into concrete bunkers, pillboxes, minefields, and tank traps. German soldiers fight tenaciously to defend their homeland. We hear from veterans of the Hürtgen Forest, so notorious to American units it was nicknamed ‘the Death Factory’.

This narrator is from History Marche he is awesome. The documentary on Napoleon is one of the best ever.
Thank you very much from Brazil.
of course🥹
My favorite narrator, is like watching a war in medieval times, i fall to sleep listening to his voice 😊
Thank you for providing details on Canada’s part in the Normandy invasion. The vast majority of what I get in the states is about America’s part in the invasion and it’s so refreshing to hear about Canada part
Still quite minimal mention in light of Canadian contributions. Holland has a holiday to commemorate Canadian sacrifice. 🇳🇱❤🇨🇦
Juno beach. Us Canadians never forget
Say what?!?
Texan historian here: if we are in a trench *anywhere* we pray for a Canuck beside us.
Common knowledge.
Universally accepted, folks.
Brilliant doc. Thankyou.
well done documentary. my grandfather was a rifleman in I company 3rd battalion 112th regiment 28th division that took Schmidt. he barely got out of there alive. the division took 75% casualties in the Hurtgen. a month later they were on the receiving end of the spearpoint of the Ardennes offensive. the 28th division held the Germans back long enough to throw their timetable off and give the 101st Airborne time to get to Bastogne. again they took huge casualties.
Outstanding video! I am 80% thru the book "Attack on the Scheldt" by Graham Thomas, and this video really assisted in seeing what the book is detailing. Thanks!
One operation that could have helped was the taking of Brest; it was bungled when Bradly wanted Patton to concentrate more on moving east. We could have taken Brest intact and quickly in early august. Instead it was not secured until I think October. And did not start functioning as a supply port until NOvember I think. IF we had taken it earlier, the supplies that we had to send to Paris could have come from there and the supplies from the Normandy beaches and Cherbourg could have been used solely for the drive east, and that MIGHT have made a significant difference. Might have meant there was enough supplies and fuel for both Patton and Montgomery to make their attacks. Who knows what would have happened then?
Again we see that David Wiley , the Bovington Tank Museum , CEO , with him still wearing that tie !
my dad parachuted into Nijmegen during Operation Market Garden ,he was in the 82nd Airborne .
Allied supply crisis? How do you think the Germans were doing for supply about this time?
The Netherlands was robbed from their supplies, by the Germans.
And they stocked ammo for 4 years without any fight, while having invaded the Netherlands.
So Ammo, and Food was no German problem, on this part of the west front...
German war production was at its peak during 1944.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about Britain commanding and proposals(market garden) operations ..in 1944 during the WW2. Thank you 🙏 (Get.factual) channel .
Am from Zambia my grandpa was a riffle man understand northern Rhodesian African bridgend
Monty was not well liked , he had to apologize several times especially after the bulge battle when he poked along and claimed to have saved the day for the allies with the americans strongly asking for his scalp
Monty the type of guy who hopes the other team wins when he gets subbed off
Great, this channel has been a great source of inspiration for me and made me open my own channel. thanks and keep up the awesome work...
@Paulius-lb4ng It's worldwondersquest-f3y
General "Lightning" Collins was really incompetent in choosing to head to the Ruhr through the obstacle course of the Ardennes forest.
The Germans said it quite clearly. WHY'd he have to that when he could have driven his tanks and infantry through the plains of the rhine river instead. He caused the unnecessary deaths of thousand of americans especially in the 28th division who fought a war of attrition in a forest in the middle of winter 👎
this is what the Germans called the September miracle. saw it in War & Remembrance
Montgomery was a fuckin tool, grandpa said he didn't know his ass from his elbow
I love this document complete packages....very interesting..also the man behind these war is named...
Hey, Dave. Will the broken glass strike sparks against steel, I wonder.
Canada 💪🍁
00:45:39🫵🏾👀🤚🏾bruh forgot their parachute!
did Aachen take longer than metz?
I have become so fascinated by the world wars, but especially wwll. These were insanely brave men on both sides of the war. And to think the nazis took on the whole western world and almost won. Wow
If America was supplying all of the fuel oil can't you tell us where it came from.just wondering.
MONTY fails Sicily, Ortona, Caen, Arnhem😮
Read a history book not written by a yank.
Still became the field Marshal! Life is not fair! Patton was the real soldiers’ general.
Sicily fought Germans . Amis italians. Caen fought most of the German Amour. Arrnhem yanks failed to take bridge British armour were held up
Yep.
However I'm sceptically optimistic that market garden operations..could have been tipped off ..why elite German SS division was in that position..essentially American commders wanted full control of entire Europe operations..a hyperthytical assumption..
My grandpa said monty was dumber than a bag of hammers
He was Prima Donna, more dangerous to his troops than the enemy.
@@stargazer5784 name a more successful general in the MTO and ETO...who and why?
He wanted to get to Berlin first, so if he cried enough he got the supplies and Patton wouldn't have enough. I have read or heard it that Monty wasn't the best commander. Course there have been other cases in history where those in command weren't the most competent. Custer could have taken a Gatlining (sp.) gun with him, but was in too much of a hurry, and didn't want to be bothered.
@@pamthompson3170 Patton had plenty of supplies Monty never too any away from him...
It’s myth that any petrol was taken from Patton for Montgomery. Patton was already at a standstill before planning for Market Garden even started.
Patton finally began receiving adequate supplies on September 4, (two weeks before MG) after a week’s excruciating pause”
- Harry Yeide
Market Garden only had priority in extra supply transport laid on. It didn’t take away any actual supplies from any US army. Nor did Market Garden stop all operations on the western front. Patton’s 3rd Army was still trying to take Metz and US 1st Army began its Hurtgen Forest campaign on September 19th, 2 days after Market Garden began.
Did you know that the twin pronged US 1st Army attack in the Hurtgen Forest and Aachen in October 1944 used FOUR TIMES as many men and supplies as the ground element of Market Garden, which wasn’t even a full 2nd British Army attack?
“ It was commonly believed at Third Army H.Q. that Montgomery's advance through Belgium was largely maintained by supplies diverted from Patton. (See Butcher, op. cit., p. 667.) This is not true. The amount delivered by the ' air-lift ' was sufficient to maintain only one division. No road transport was diverted to aid Montgomery until September 16th. On the other hand, three British transport companies, lent to the Americans on August 6th " for eight days," were not returned until September 4th.' “

F.M. monty?
Monty was so overrated and should have been prosecuted for negligence in sending soldiers to their certain deaths. Also Browning should have called Market Garden off. Bloody unacceptable playing with their mens lives. Cannon Fodder that’s all they were. Disgraceful loss of life for a few mens ego’s!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Actual film footage northeast of Bergen op Zoom.
See the earlier post for the entire You-Tube-Series thar are finished about the Resistance Group my Granddad belonged to and it's two German elite units they had to face.
These men never received any credit, nor even the Dutch Resistance Cross excepts some of the 60 men then still living 50 year later.

I watch videos because I hate to read
Just saying
Stale
The Germans never ran out of men or planes,they ran out of resources to continue the war😮
That’s be wise Monty wanted to always be in the line light always screaming he never had enough supplies so rather give it to General Patton who was kicking ass & taking names all the way to Germany Eisenhower made General Patton stop being the only way if anyone asks me to get Monty to execute his duties he was assigned to implement ! I always wander how shorten the war could have been if every General in the field did what they were supppse to do than playing dam politics with the lives of Soldiers , point Blank !!!
