So where are the "Vietnam flags" now huh? Just kidding :D
I hope you like this video because the lack of military maps made everything difficult. I had to open google maps for the first time and try to imagine the movements of the units as I was writing the script. Also take a look at our new teespring shop for some cool merchandise: teespring.com/stores/world-war-ii-epic-battles
Great Job!
Excelent work
Doesn't TIK know about them? Why didn't you ask to collaborate with him?
@@flashgordon6670 TIK is aware of this channel and sometimes watches my videos. No one is interested in collaborating however.
Love the videos man.
Big fan of the narrator. Hes my favorite from Simple History. I think the narrator quality is an underrated part of any documentary
That's true. Not many people understand how difficult it is.
I appreciate the very kind compliment! 😊
THAT's where he is from! Thanks lol Agreed. Great narrator!
Loved the video👍🏼👍🏼. The eastern front is way too overlooked.
Kudos to WWII-EB. Terrific video! Would love to see another little-discussed, epic-scale early Barbarossa tank battle, the Battle of Brody (22-30 June '41), get the same stellar treatment. One small nitpick, however... Could perhaps the Wehrmacht units on the map displays be made a lighter -- less dark -- shade of gray? Even when viewed on a large TV, they appear almost black.
I compare the colours on multiple screens for every job (not just my battle videos). I believe the grey unit markers are clear enough. Can anyone else here give an opinion? Let me know in the comments if the German unit markers need a lighter colour. I check all comments.
This a very good map at after having read about this having a map that plays while explaining it is very helpful
I LOVE THIS BATTLE THANK YOU
Good video, I enjoyed it. thanks for posting.
I hope to see 20k subs in short time. This method of content creation is elite.
Short time probably won't happen. But we're getting there ;)
Good videos as always. Keep up the good work.
The fact that, according to the stories of local witnesses, there was not KV1 but KV2, there are even photos that have survived.
Great video, thanks for your work.
Real great video!
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
@@ww2-epicbattles I like your style and i think there aren't many channels that cover specific battles.
War Thunder: Haha, you go with higher tier tanks
war thunder where a Tiger hits a Sherman and it doesn't get a scratch.
i like the video , now i want you give the detail of the battle of midway and the liberation of the netherland. i trust you can make this eps .☺️☺️😉😉
Liberation of the Netherlands would honestly be very interesting. Most of the time it's just -BAM - Market Garden. A few months later - BAM - they're liberated!?!? Like what happened in between XD I know we Canadians played a major role but beyond that...??? 🤷♂️
That was kv-2
Still debated if it was a KV-2 or KV-1
Great job. Maybe some videos on North Africa in winter 1942/1943?
Great topic
Well soviets used something what's called "i don't care where are my allies i'll push for myself" and that KV was a perfect example of this. This tank didn't make any serious changes in front but it showed how germans weren't ready for those T34 and KV's
P.S nice video got i say but i read a book about barbarosa and in that book quite big part was used to battles in first days so historical accuracy in this video was really nice
hey thanks. my main sourcce for this was the book tank warfare on the eastern front. and I will use for future eastern front videos again.
Is there any good reason you can't include a scale of distance on your maps? Otherwise, nice job.
Too complicated for moving pictures. And sometimes my sources don't include any either.
I read somewhere the lone soviet tank was a kv2... so it was kv1? Still formidable armor but less dramatic gun, kv2 had massive 152mm in turret
We don't know for sure what type it was exactly. What we know is that the KV-1 was more common and the commander of the 6th Pz Div described it as a KV-1 type.
Its not known if it was a kv2 or kv1 but most documented it as a kv-2
Yeah, it was a 6 crew instead of 5..
@@nightingale-d3e and yeah kv 2 has six crews, because two loaders to lift the big 152 mm.
@@iaminyourwalls479 And if it was a kv1, where would the 6th crew be? Outside scouting for tanks maybe??
@@iaminyourwalls479 Probably sitting on the engine
Thank you for making this video! I needed some more research for a project. I’m trying to make a huge WarThunder movie about the battle of Raseiniai, and I want it to be as historically accurate as possible (if that’s even possible in WT) I had a question about this video: as a fellow historian, I know it’s been highly debated whether it was a lone KV-1 or a KV-2 that was left just outside of Raseiniai. I noticed that you used a KV-1. My question was why did you favor that tank to the KV-2? I’m for using either tank, but I wanted to gather support and opinions on which one I should use.
The KV-2 wasn't so common in those days and it had a smaller capacity of ammunition which would make it harder for it to stay in the fight so many hours.
@@ww2-epicbattles Thanks for getting back so quickly. Your response time is remarkable. You do make a really good point, that one version carried much more ammunition than the other.
Although it would look much more aesthetically pleasing if it were a Kv2, I think I’ll use a kv1 instead.
It was a KV 2.

Iam from that city
Kv2 and kv1 and kv5:😊
You:KV-5
Me:You play too much World of tanks💀

Aren’t you from simple history

Bazzbatles tho :)
Some pronunciations are very funny but no problem
The animations in the bazzbattles video are false and I said so in the comments. The 8th Pz Div was nowhere near Raseiniai as he shows, and neither was there any coordination between the two Panzer corps during the battle.
Too much battle noise for my taste otherwise good video
Russian bias
