@RampartFury925 any hardcore Nazis can burn in hell yeah, but any regular Nazi's no. I mean if they believed in what Hitler stated, then yes, they deserved to be punished, but some Nazi's were made to fight in that organization
From what I understand from my uncle, who is extremely knowledgeable about the Wehrmacht and the German army, no German soldier was forced into the Nazi party. You were simply asked. If you did, you became a higher ranking official. If not, then you were not of the Nazi party. Everyone in the Nazi party understood what it was Hitler wanted in his end game and his brutality.
BallisticJestr yes they were asked at first but later in the war if you didn't fight they made an example out of you and post your dead body on a post and hang a sign ranging from traitor to Germany too things I will not repeat but you are correct
please keep on with these history shorts. as they say we must never forget the past otherwise we are doomed to repeat it. to many brave man (on both sides) died, we must never forget their sacrifice. that's wg for a great game but also for reminding us of the past.
Lets not forget that Germany only invaded HALF of Poland. The other half was taken by the Soviet union in an equally brutal fashion. Like their invasions of the Baltic states and Finland.
The Soviets tried to ally with the western powers against the fascist threat, but they were left alone as a consecuence of the appeasment policy, instigated with the hope that Hitler would attack the USSR first. Stalin just acted in self defence, stablishing a peace pact with the germans and creating a defensive buffer zone. This was unfortunate for the countries caught in between, although in the case of Poland the invasion mainly retook territories previously conquered by force by the polish. History is not always black or white, but mainly shades of grey.
Also they forgot to mention about HALT order by Hitler. For 3 days, 1st Panzer Army halted in outskirt of Dunkirk, cannot attack the allied position...
Remember that this time that's the Belgian & French troops which stand and gave their blood to defend their comrades sitting on the beach. People often thinks the brits handle everything by their own but without french troops all your guys would still be on this beach. (under the beach, to be more accurate.)
I don't think you understand what is being said. Psy is saying that without the BEF protecting the British that they would be destroyed. but he fails to understand that the BEF is the British
Nuuuu, Germany was the only sole Evil in WW2. No one else was the aggressor. It was ALL Germany's fault...bla bla bla. Don't try to reason with these guys. They live in their echo chamber. >.>

Och really? Stalin created a buffer zone? If so, then why he immidiately started decoposing this zone by invading Poland, then Baltic states and then Bessarabia? Why did he widened border with Third Reich? Invasion on Western Europe is the answer.
Guys, these excellent short history lessons are spoiled by references to Britain as England. Its like referring to California when you mean the USA. Also the pronunciation of Bologne is 'Ba - loin' not 'Be-lone'
The Treaty of London of 1839 gave the UK ,Pruisia, Russia and Austria the responsibility to protect Belgium against any invaders. The Dutch signed that treaty as well. France was stymied in their greed at that time. In theory the BEF could have entered Belgium after the phoney war started, and only some weak protests from the French loving/speaking Belgian politicians would have resulted, as France wouldn't object at all.
"the most powerful German Stukas fighting in the south." What? The Stuka was a specific model of dive-bomber. It's not a generic term for German bombers or air power as you seem to be using it (repeatedly). There is no such thing as "more powerful" Stukas.
once again, no mention of the french. oh pardon me they got 2 seconds. Yeah. it's not like british forces got the order NOT TO FIGHT AND WAIT ON THE BEACH while the others kept fighting. Nope. no mention of that.
i love how wargaming is trying to change history by having the germans occupy all of poland all at once... when russia initially took the other half. not that i expected this video to be historically accurate before even watching it.
the terms of the anglo-polish treaty were only if Germany invaded. And being unwilling to fight both the ussr and german for obvious reasons, on the technicality we chose not to declare war on them. Maybe if the soviets invaded first we might've gone to war with them.
French troops and goverment wanted to them back to France as soon as possible to try to avert disaster since German Army started Fall Rot-invasion of France-on June 5th and needed every man desperately.
Please World of Warships North America tell me why didn't you mention about USSR invading Poland at the beginning of the video. Are you lacking in knowledge about WWII ?!? There are many stories, but the truth is only one. I'm disappointed to say at least :(
good event in ww2 god save them all sailors and nurse who help the allied troops but why, german engineer, just gassed or burn them at the beach, gas cannon shell Y U NO Gr.Gelbkreuz I or gas bomb or fire bomb can kill even more.
all game politics aside, i can appreciate a man in a bow tie, thankyou waargaming
Somehow I suddenly cried unconsciously ..... very sad video
When a game publisher does more to preserve and tell history than most American media outlets.
i love those history lesson.
Also i love the Dunkirk mission you guy made in WoWS :D
Remember Dunkirk. May something as bad as this never happen again. May all soldiers from both sides Rest In Peace.
Click Bait Nazis can burn in hell for all i care.
@RampartFury925 any hardcore Nazis can burn in hell yeah, but any regular Nazi's no. I mean if they believed in what Hitler stated, then yes, they deserved to be punished, but some Nazi's were made to fight in that organization

BallisticJestr No shit they even tried to overthrow hitler but when that failed they didn't try again to prevent a civil war.
please keep on with these history shorts. as they say we must never forget the past otherwise we are doomed to repeat it. to many brave man (on both sides) died, we must never forget their sacrifice. that's wg for a great game but also for reminding us of the past.
Very well put together!!
Lets not forget that Germany only invaded HALF of Poland. The other half was taken by the Soviet union in an equally brutal fashion. Like their invasions of the Baltic states and Finland.
I disliked the video because of this.
@Teco01ejg SAVAGE!

BEF stands for British expeditionary force...... you just failed so hard.
Bolaf Moonshouter the BEF still means 350 000 soldiers, england surely would've been in a very bad situation, and even would've surrendered
I don't think you understand what is being said. Psy is saying that without the BEF protecting the British that they would be destroyed. but he fails to understand that the BEF is the British
Bolaf Moonshouter Right sorry, I had to read his comment 5 times lol
There was an attempt.
cant wait for the MOVIE EEEHHH!!!!
In 1939 Germany invaided Poland in cooperation with Soviet Union don't forget about that.
Nuuuu, Germany was the only sole Evil in WW2. No one else was the aggressor. It was ALL Germany's fault...bla bla bla. Don't try to reason with these guys. They live in their echo chamber. >.>
Why are you so salty?
not only that but they have also forgotten that austria and checoslovakia were taken by germany
The Soviets tried to ally with the western powers against the fascist
threat, but they were left alone as a consecuence of the appeasment
policy, instigated with the hope that Hitler would attack the USSR
first. Stalin just acted in self defence, stablishing a peace pact with

Incredible video and great documentary film.ww2. Thank you so much..
what a Nice homage. Ty WG
British Merchant Marines and civilians sailors are the heroes of Dunkirk.
This was really good giys
Make a Armada vídeo Abou the Battle of River plate
That theme is really awesome but can I download it somewhere?
Military History Visualized cites that most of the "Little Ships" were commandeered by naval officers, not manned by civilians
makes me almost cry
Why isn't this an Extra Credits video?
Probably because it doesn't contain outrageous inaccuracies or lies.
Great Video Thank's we can never let this happen again. The West must stay Strong!!!!
Guys, these excellent short history lessons are spoiled by references to Britain as England. Its like referring to California when you mean the USA. Also the pronunciation of Bologne is 'Ba - loin' not 'Be-lone'
A good video giving a basic history of the events. One point though. England is not interchangeable with UK or Britain.
The Treaty of London of 1839 gave the UK ,Pruisia, Russia and Austria the responsibility to protect Belgium against any invaders. The Dutch signed that treaty as well. France was stymied in their greed at that time. In theory the BEF could have entered Belgium after the phoney war started, and only some weak protests from the French loving/speaking Belgian politicians would have resulted, as France wouldn't object at all.
Really sad video, but very educational. Thanks, WG
How is it sad? The lads were saved
its a shame germany did not crush them.
planetsector9 338k people saved, many more who died trying to be saved, or saving people
Read your history. The USSR was jus as bad, if not worse, in its murderous ways.
Is it the men from extra history ?
So all the legends and miracles came from opponents 'Mistake'
that so sad many soldiers fight for their freedom
and lose their lives for saving peoples
Life- No surprises there.
I see everyone in the comment section is a god damned historian...
So a Dunkirk video with no mention made to Admiral Bertram Ramsay....... I thought this was world of warships?
This is of the greatest of german tactic army
Famous LUFTWAFFA
That map is so wrong it hurts
God save the Queen...

once again, no mention of the french. oh pardon me they got 2 seconds.
Yeah. it's not like british forces got the order NOT TO FIGHT AND WAIT ON THE BEACH while the others kept fighting.
Nope. no mention of that.
OK so why is the entire UK labelled as England?
i love how wargaming is trying to change history by having the germans occupy all of poland all at once... when russia initially took the other half. not that i expected this video to be historically accurate before even watching it.
Couldn't they find someone to narrate with a bit more charisma than a carton of custard?
Hey, I like custard!
That's fair, but you can hardly call it exciting ...
Ikr this guy was not the best narrator
why didnt france and the uk declare war on ussr when they attacked Poland 2 weeks later in 1939
the terms of the anglo-polish treaty were only if Germany invaded. And being unwilling to fight both the ussr and german for obvious reasons, on the technicality we chose not to declare war on them. Maybe if the soviets invaded first we might've gone to war with them.
ONE THING PLS PEOPLE. DO NOT FORCE WARGAMING AND WARNER BROS. TO RUSH THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE
Lets not forget that the Soviet Union invaded Poland as well, but since its WG, Im sure they don't want to make their country look bad. :v
les forces franco-belge
Fail Wg Fail to color in East Prussia Land owned BY Germany doesn't affect much but i'm bothered by not doing so simple in coloring in a map
Narrator needs some coaching. It's flat tone the entire way...
what a shame...
they sorta forgot that the british sent back evacuated french soldiers back into occupied france.
French troops and goverment wanted to them back to France as soon as possible to try to avert disaster since German Army started Fall Rot-invasion of France-on June 5th and needed every man desperately.
DON'T buy anything from WAR GAMING. they nerf it if it is anygood and change the game into something else. RIPP OFF
Please World of Warships North America tell me why didn't you mention about USSR invading Poland at the beginning of the video. Are you lacking in knowledge about WWII ?!? There are many stories, but the truth is only one.
I'm disappointed to say at least :(
good event in ww2
god save them all sailors and nurse who help the allied troops
but why, german engineer, just gassed or burn them at the beach, gas cannon shell Y U NO Gr.Gelbkreuz I or gas bomb or fire bomb can kill even more.
these narrator makes me sleep
rubbish
wow, history said that WW2 started at asia, not europe, dont lie to us man
