Video

After watching this video I can say America backed the wrong horse in Afghanistan. The crazies are still there today.

You see, folks, America is the good guys, and commies are bad guys. Commies don't give out hamburgers, hot dogs, or Baby Ruth bars.

I watch this video every year during d day week.

Absolute lunacy.

My dad...Loyd Cress....was on the USS Oklahoma on December 7th, 1941. His brother was there as well but was on shore when the attack began. I remember asking dad how he first learned of the attack because he was four decks down . He said "well they came over the loud speaker and we are being attacked by Japansee planes. This is no fucking drill. My response "wow...they had that word back then? He just laughed and said well sure. My dad passed away a few years ago at the of 93. A part of the greatest generation. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps myself but it was all peace time then.

And that's why you can't sleep on the heart of the Russians...

@ 1:35:03 is the cheeky sign "Cross the Rhine with Dry Feet, Courtesy of the 9th Army"

So what is the Cold War?

Mussolini was a dumb ass!

SUPER DOC thx

46:58 "vought f6f corsair? The hellcat is designated f6f, the corsair was f4u. I've noticed in the battlefield series incorrect information more often than you'd expect. To most who don't know it doesn't matter but you'd think with the time and money that was once put into making this series they'd do better at fact checking.

Hitler was a freak!

Retellings of Communist investigations in the 50s are always skewed to make it seem like an unjustified, right wing, witch hunt. They always leave out the Hollywood investigations were led by a Democrat, Roy Brewer, not a Republican, and leave out that there totally were Communists in Hollywood and the government, and that some of these communists were totally working with the USSR in some fashion. Even this series skews things the same way. It’s a self fulfilling narrative by now. You create the narrative along democrats, the primary people working on creative endeavors like a doc or historical movie like “Trumbo” and eventually everyone believes it because that’s all they care to know about the subject

Gorbachev great human being

Let’s have a documentary on the Soviets extensive war crimes

Is that a young Putin at 19:43 ?

Unfortunately the narrator /writers seem to favor if not glorify Montgomery, and diminish Patton. Seems a bit silly. Patton was far more resourceful and creative than Montgomery. No need to go into detail here since the record speaks for itself.

If your not going to include all the allies like Australia and New Zealand don’t bother

The Allied Forces, God Bless them, saw hell on Earth. We can't even imagine what suffering they went through.May those who died Rest in Eternal Peace.

This and then the Burma campaign need a lot more in-depth coverage like this!!

Most of these old 'docs' were made on a shoestring, made for entertainment and do not depart in a meaningful, tactical progression in any meaningful way, Iow, they don't convey historical accuracy in any reliable way, and should not considered anything else than entertainment.

This documentary needs a modern remake. We need Rommel to be gay. The war has to be about Montgomery refusing to use the proper pronouns. We need a contingent of feminists to complain about the patriarchy in the military.

"You can have vengeance, or you can have peace. But you cant have both in the same treaty", quote about the ww1 treaty of Versailles from someone I forget who, sorry.

Suddenly everyone is a military mastermind genius in retrospect…

Just started the BBC’s 24-part documentary series on the Cold War, and I'm already blown away by how detailed and engaging it is! The series kicks off right after WWII and goes all the way through to the end of the Cold War in the 1990s. It’s packed with archival footage, interviews, and in-depth analysis that bring the tension and drama of the era to life. I’ve only seen the first few episodes so far, and I’m already hooked. It covers the major events, like the Berlin Blockade, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War, with such depth and clarity. The interviews with key figures and ordinary people who lived through these events add a personal touch that makes the history feel even more real and immediate. I’m really looking forward to diving into the rest of the series over the summer vacation. It’s the perfect time to binge-watch and fully immerse myself in this fascinating period of history. If you're into Cold War history or just love a good documentary, I highly recommend checking this out. It’s an incredible journey through one of the most tense and intriguing periods of the 20th century. 🌍📺

Why is the Philippines always a battle ground

Romel would have beaten Montgomery bloody if Romel had gotten even half his supplies . And if enigma hadn't been broken.

Thank you for keeping this series alive out here.

Land grab...

80 years ago today. They faced Hitler's formidable wall. Some still live today that were on this beach that day.

Seems very fitting to listen to this at work on the 80th anniversary of D-Day

80 years ago today. God bless those marines. 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

How does the ayatollah kill his victims

Posting this on 80th anniversary. Lest we forget. Thank you Britain and US for setting Europe free.

Thankfully its my day off, I can watch this stuff all day. Documentaries don't come much better than this. That 'one pilot' who survived was named George Gay & I've always been fascinated by his story, I can only imagine the view he had to one of the greatest Naval victories, while in his life raft with Japanese ships & pilots that ditched their aircraft all around him. I'm sure if the American dive bomber pilots would have opened their canopies they could have heard him hooting & hollering in approval.

NOT ONLY WERE THOSE SMALL ROBOTS VUNERABLE TO SMALL ARMS FIRE THEY WERE ALSO EASY TO DEFEAT BY USING MORTARS AND TANK SHOTS AGAINST THE FOLLOWING WIRES. UKRAINE USED A SIMILAR SYSTEM BUT HISTORY PROVES IT FAILED.

INDIA HAS A SIMILAR FORCE TODAY BUT WITH MODERN WEAPONS. THE RUSSIAN ROCKET ARTILLERY BACK THEN WERE LIKE PLAYING WITH TOYS COMPARED TO TODAY.

THE ALLIES PUT TOGETHER A TEAM TO KILL HITLER. AFTER A WHILE THEY REALIZED THAT IT WOULD COUNTER PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE HELPED DEFEAT HIS OWN ARMY. HITLER IS THEREFORE ONE OF THE WORST COMMANDERS IN THE WORLD. AN IDIOT IN OTHER WORDS

Awesome stuff!

Just remember, the communists won the Second World War. Don't give out about Nazis destroying our societies. Americans and British funded and helped communism to sweep Europe. Never forget that, boomers.

2:22 "japan never been defeated in over a thousand years" well ... Japan invasions of Korea (1592-1598) result: Joseon (Korea) and Ming victory: Japan lost , quite badly on lad a 3rd of their invasion forces lost. As for their naval catastrophes ... Yi Sun-sin put them back to/in their place/Island ...?

No mention of the red army viciously sexually assaulting 2 million German women alone let alone the number of other axis countries. Their current army is not much different in Ukraine.

Putin better be on ready for France Britain Italy Poland the Leaders along with biden wants to conquer Moscow 😢

Imagine if Biden was president then

It will be a number of years before that reverses, however, as a result of the end of the United States support for the globalization that it created at the Bretton Woods accord, as globalization and global supply chains break down, United States is restoring much of its manufacturing, especially the high-end manufacturing, and design, and has engaged in trade deals with Mexico to the south, initiative under the previously administration and carried out by the current administration, to site low-end and medium-end manufacturing there, as part of NAFTA II. We are now embarking upon the largest build-out in the history of the last 100 years, which will produce a boom in construction jobs, infrastructure, metals processing including new steel mills, and both design and the high-level precision manufacturing jobs. This build out is essential as the formerly cheap labor countries such as China are, first, no longer cheap labor sources and, second, in irreversible demographic declines that will result in their end as functional, global nation-states, most of them collapsing within the next decade. The economic outlook for the United States is excellent for decades to come.

If the Germans had the equipment it would have been a different story 😊

So many bs in these when it comes to USSR. Cold war propaganda product

Unbelievable figures... 7000 ships.. 13000 aircrafts and more than 150k troops with 20000 vehicles.... Rommel rightly said " landings ll take place at Normandy and it ll be the longest day " German defence is equally impressive.. British planned to take Caen in one day but it took six weeks to them while german air force was cleared of french skies...

Thank You!!
