I'm amazed by the fact that such comedic, ridiculous, pathetic, sad figures as shitler and mussolini moved those nations. They deserved a pity laugh, tap on the shoulder and nothing more. And yet, they gave them unilimited power, believing in their obvious bs. That says a lot
Britain battle 1940

2:43 Skip the intro.
My grandfather was at Omaha. The courage of that man was insane
I just met one of the members on my job .

Omg he’s look like missing Tomasz Cichowicz from Poland 😮
My great great grandfather and my great great great uncle both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry Buckners Brigade CSA fought at Ft Donelson and were captured
Ah yes, a classic american thing to do. How many countless countries have been bombed or invaded against international law? That‘s why a lot of people don‘t like you. Noone likes the bully. Gonna have to hide my cooking oil, otherwise some 'muricans will break into my window 😂

Excellent content: concise summary, great graphics, stirring martial music. But the music level is WAY TOO LOUD ! TY, Pritzker, for posting.
Proud of you Vietnam veterans ..i served as well. Keep faith.
Own all his books. Probably my favorite WW2 author.
How about basing and deployment...

I served in the Air Force in Vietnam from 71 to April 71. I saw a lot of combat and these pilots saved us on many occasions!!! The first book I read after the war was His book Chained Eagle!! I then realized (even after being shot once),my tour was easy compared to these great American heros!! Thanks Everett!
I haven't heard a single Angloid who doesn't sympathise with Germans when talking about the eastern front.
Joffre was the most crap french general ,he was always retreating ,waiting for nothing .!THE hero of this battle was general Gallieni an old one from the colonies conquest .he had to protect Paris against the huns with limited troops and an aviator saw that the germans were turning right to the south east of paris ...so he went back to Gallieni headquater nearby and told was he seen ,none okayed him how can he saw it from the airs ,??and it's completely out of the War laws (??!!!!!).But Gallieni sent hussard to recognized this ,and the story was true .Germans offered their right flanck to Paris' troops ...as an old military Gallieni asked all his troops to run in their flanck ,and Joffre was obliged to stop his retreat and then run back in the germans following his troops !!! Gallieni was the 1rst to fought ,...he died in 1916 ,being elevated to french Marschall status and he deserved it ,Joffre was a zero tactician !!!! My Family did this WW1 .2 killed ,4 had traumas ,2 went back alive and well .Gamelin ,secretary of Joffre ,was the french general in chief of the french army in 1940 ,you know what happened next !!!!

DeGaulle had same problem as Montgomery.
The Japanese had it coming.
This guy is like the up-market/boomer/ivory tower version of lazerpig. Wouldn’t it be cool to see them do an anti-wehraboo series? As a working title, I submit “ “Lay-Certino-Pig or, discussing the greatest, most technologically advanced, biggest brained ,bunch of evil, overconfident backstabbing morons to have ever existed, who somehow managed to piss off the entire rest of the world, while failing to collaborate meaningfully with both of their numerous allies (the number being, once again, 2) and continued to ramp up the pace of genocid-ing itself while it was being genocid-ed by the rest of the world”
US good to get away with horrific war crimes
lol Citino curiously skirts over why the West views that Eastern European nationalist groups as Nazi collaborators. Its because nearly all of them participated in the holocaust. That’s the official view of the U.S. government that Citino doesn’t know. As a naturalized U.S. citizen, I had to sign a declaration that I did not participate in any Eastern European nationalist group or the Waffen SS during WW2 on my citizenship application.
So proud of you nephew! Major General Johnny Davis
My uncle was part of the operation. A few years ago, after my mother’s funeral, he was telling me and my friends about that day, and this message. We were like little kids listening to him describe that day. He was 18 that day
And yet here we are dissapointing the ww2 veterans.
The noble judeo allies mass murdering. Innocent civilians.
I knew a paratrooper who jumped on D-Day. Even in his old age, he would pull up his shirt and show the scar from the ack-ack that hit him in his side. He was always open to talking about D-Day, and when I asked him what he thought about it now, he described it as an utter "blood bath" and a "shit show." "They were waiting for us..." He said. This great American is no longer with us. I'll never forget him.
Bzzzzzzzzt, wrong! The 1st U.S. Enterprise was a single masted sloop with square rigged sail, about 60 feet long. Yes, she was captured and served on Lake Champlain as you say, but the picture you show is more like the 2ND Enterprise, a privateer schooner that patrolled Chesapeake Bay during the Revolution and a little after. Then there was the 3rd one launched in 1799, serving here and in the Mediterranean with the Constitution, and going through 2 major refits in her career. I'm Enterprise crazy since Star Trek The Motion Picture, where Decker tells Ilia "All those vessels were called Enterprise." while looking at a display of past ships. Been collecting research and models of all the ships ever since. (I just got the XCV 330 "RING ship from Fantastic Plastic, and the big 1/350 scale CV-6 WW2 aircraft carrier, along with 3 definitive books about it.). My sources for the 1st ship, and more (!) are several essays photo copied from library books, History of the vessel Enterprise by Roden, and, most recently, the excellent book "Valcour" by Jack Kelly, which tells the complete, detailed story of that very important event in the Revolution, often overlooked, and the Enterprise's part in it, and even has a good line drawing of the ship on page 258! There's conjecture on the length of the ship, ranging from 45-60 feet, as records don't survive from that time and place, especially with it being a captured vessel. Even maritime scholar Howard Chappelle listed it as "Builder unknown. Exact dimensions unknown" and "-she may have had a figure head." She was also a shallow draft ship, suited for lake and river use. Beyond that, we know next to nothing about her. Kelly's book gives the best overview of it all, to my mind. His book is about the EVENT, not the ships, but happily he doesn't short-sheet the part they played in it. Anyway, just wanted to share this with you, as a fellow Enterprise enthusiast. Have a better one!
The soundtrack is unnecessary and horrible to listen to. Eisehower’s words alone should be enough. You should remove that awful music and reupload this speech.
It's been 80 years since these heroes embarked upon one of the greatest crusades against evil and liberated western europe!
And it is 2024 and here we are….
And here we are never better said
This was a disgrace ! Everyone America befriends ends like this !
Dont ask the Guard what they were doing in 68' 😂😂😂
our family members fought Russia first and Soviet Union twice , went to Rostov on Don also twice and fought the british and americans but the worst mistakes they had seen were the americans in the battle around the casserine pass and later further norths when they simply fled from the battlefield. The russians were hard to fight and the americans as they always said would loose against the russians cause a democracy can not survive the amount of victims the russian society is willing to sacrifice. Just to make clear: they can judget about the americans cause a lot became american citizens who also had fought in Vietnam, some of them as former frenchc POW that had gotten the offer to be released but only once they first had served in the french foreign legion. Therefore there are more germans that fought and lost their lives there than americans later . So those who had been there always said that the americans will face a big deffeat and therefore left the vietnam war theater before it had been to late. And for those who can not remember: Vietnam is just 1 of a total defeat in a long row from iraq over somalia to Afghanistan, all had ended in retreats which is a total defeat by all standards. Yes, of cause the average american or rather 90% of them will complain and pretend " We never invaded Somalia!" Which opens a new front or question: Where is Somalia ? Ask Trump and you get the best but wrong answer cause he did not know either but pretended to know : behind the sunset Which could be some how right or wrong assuming that this would mean not in north america and south america. But the average american has no clue at all about a country somewhere in Asia, or in the Pacific Ocean or rather in the Atlantic ocean this island Napoleon had been incercarate ? But it is so easy to help the famous americans out: Somalia must be in Hollywood cause only Hollywood can enlighten the average american . Yes , most will disagree, but what about 3 single words to proof that Somalia must be close to Hollywood to solve the question about a defeat of the USA close to no one knows about or rejects: black hawk down and all complaints will stop, the voices will stop to protest and in the following silence some cells in the brain start counting 1 + 1 that they know about a thing called black hawk down, but really ? And then out of a sudden the pictures of american soldiers defeated by poor african tribes in the capitol of somalia aka Mogadischu will solve the question - but only the superficial one even though it is telling the answer: USA and mostly any other democracy can not afford victims and bear the casualties long enough to win against russia. Even the nicest new weapon system will show an advantage, but only for a short period of time till the russian will have learned to improve. Better to have a turtle tank than to sit in an american helicopter grounded by the tribes of somalia. If they and the vietnamese achieved to defeat the americans than the russians will achieve that too. Just a matter of time till the american army will run out of steam and ressources as seen in Vietnam where so many american war crimes had happened and destroyed the american reputation in foreign societies forever . Napalm to attack civilians and burn children which had to be saved in Europe, not by the USA . Abrams tanks got lost and so many other weapon systems did not outperform the russians for long. Where are the pictures and propaganda about the great storm shadow successes? The russians have learned a lesson and storm shadow is no longer as successfull as before like the Abrams and the other american systems .

Great story !
There is much more to this story, it's not quite so simple as this video makes it out to be. I was a RANGER 1975-79 and can tell you the north paid for this. That's all I can say!
imagine your country gets leveled all because of a tree 💀
480BC and no it wasn’t mostly Spartans. There were at least 800 Thespians too.
Why is it Brits who always tell Russian History ? I want to hear the Russian version of why England and France were so weak and suffered early defeats.
