He was even a handsome man too

My grandfather fought in WW2, he passed down his coin collection during his travels to me before his passing. He was brave and lived a happy life
Avery the Cuban-American there he is again ffs
Neat!
May I ask what theater did he serve in?
My great-grandpa fought as a pilot over Berlin late-war.
Aidan is Not a Bully nice. My great grandfather was a merchant marine in the pacific and barley survived his ship getting sunk on its maiden voyage
The battle of Stalingrad alone had over a million deaths. That battle alone had more death then Vietnam War and both Gulf Wars combined!
That's not even remotely true. Sure, a lot of people died in Stalingrad, i don't contest that, but the Vietnam war had anywhere between one and four million dead, easily surpassing Stalingrad, especially if you actually count casualties using the same metrics
Vaultboi420 I was thinking allied fatalities. Your right if you consider all casualties though.
As well as more casualties than the entire western front
@ZombifiedFish Stop boasting and accept the truth please, there are only 700,000 military casualties in western front while russian suffererd 11,000,000 military casualties, what the hell is that 8 million bullshit
@ZombifiedFish 8 million allied casualties on the western front? From who? Mosquitoes?
I feel like we need a history of the Balkans next
Wow that would cause a shitstorm in the comments
Димитър Иванов yeah just even mentioning Kosovo to a Serb...
That’d have to be a 5 hour video...
Thats too complicated. Maybe a lesson on quantum pshysics would be better.
That will be to long
Germany : **Invades Poland**
Britain and France : *THIS MEANS WAR !*
Soviet Union : **Invades Poland a few weeks later**
Britain and France : Eh, I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.
Poland: Really guys.....
Did you know the blue on Poland’s flag represents reliable allies and the green represents having peaceful neighbors?
The reason Britain and France entered the war was not because they tried to defend Poland, but because germany violated the agreements created after the First World War. However, they should have done this even earlier, with the Anschluss of Austria or, at least, at the time of German occupation of the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia.
@@agring8391 they were to have done this earlier you say. But how? France and uk were not ready for such a huge war again.the French lost so much men they didn't want to fight a large war anymore.
@@jackass5066 in this case, this should have happened at the moment when Germany exceeded the army limit of 100,000 that it was established as a result of the First World War. After all, this limit was made for a reason? Allies could deal with this co-number of troops with ease.
Mexican-American War in 5 minutes?
What does Ireland have to do with it? =)
Олег Козлов nothing, so what?
@@KolchaksGhost AFAIK John D. Ruddy only covers stuff that touch his homeland
Олег Козлов A lot of Irish immigrants fought in the Mexican American war.
Олег Козлов Actually, there was an entire battalion made up mostly of Irish soldiers who had mostly defected from the U.S. side to join their catholic brethren. They’re called the Saint Patrick’s Battalion, give it a google. :) In Mexico they’re honored as heroes, dunno about Ireland.
I was always wondering why the Molotov Cocktail was called that.
These videos simply don’t get old.
"It was, and still is, the deadliest conflict in human history."
*SO FAR*
hmmmm...
The Vatican-Italian war AKA WW3
@@idahoanmapping9319 Pulling out of the Lateran Pact would be, for Italy, like Northern Ireland becoming its own country. Italy would have to (un)officially renounce its Catholicism or have its Catholic population shrink to the level of those in the US or Ireland before that happened. And though the Swiss Guard is competent as an army, it's not nearly big enough to sustain a war even with Italy.
A third World War, started between those two? Pull the other one, _it has bells on._
4:20 well done, you pronounced his name correctly!
That’s a first for historical CZcams
You left out one other deadly sniper from this period. Lyudmila Pavlichenko. 309 fascists dead and good friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, who brought her on a tour of the US to encourage more support for the European front.
Though I did like how you brought attention to some famous figures of the war, like de Gaulle, Anne Frank and the Chinese Leader.

Basically, don't listen to people who say they can fix everything.
Small critiques:
1) You forgot to mention the fact that the UK and France literally gave the Czechs away. The Munich Agreement was just as instrumental in causing the war as the non-aggression pact between Germany and the USSR because it set the precedent that it was okay to split countries among the great powers as long as it maintained peace between those powers.
2) "Blitzkrieg" wasn't an intentional tactic in 1939. It would later be developed into an intentional tactic over the course of the invasion of France and later in the USSR, but during the invasion of Poland the Germans were following much more conventional tactics and were unexpectedly successful against the Poles. Even by the invasion of France, most of their Generals refused to fully commit during breakthroughs because they simply didn't have a "movement warfare" (as it would actually come to be called) mindset. By Barbarossa, the tactics of move, encircle, and secure had become established doctrine, but focus on this style of warfare ensured that every offensive would come at a heavy cost. Most Generals who would have fit in fine in other nations as men who'd trade away time or land to conserve forces had been sacked and replaced by officers who would advance at all costs. By the time they reached the gates of Moscow, the "at all costs" part of that equation had taken such a toll that further advance against determined resistance had been rendered near impossible.
3) Germany attacked in June. It was the Red Army that stopped the Nazi advance, not the weather. Germans did, in fact, have winter clothing, and experience fighting in winter weather (as they did in Norway in 1940). The Red Army and tactics which prioritized rapid land gain over conservation of strength came together to practically halt the German advance by early November. After all, isn't it contradictory to point out Soviet ineptitude in winter weather when they were fighting the Fins, but then praise them for their skill in winter weather when fighting the Germans? They didn't go from incompetent to geniuses with only two or three months of winter fighting.
There are other quibbles, but none that are important enough to warrant the size of bulletpoint required to correct them. Overall a very good video.
It was more the winter that stopped the Germans but the Red Army did a lot as well
@@CitySlicker34 Their advance was halted by early November. Last time I checked my calendar that wasn't "winter." A case could be made that the autumn mud played a big part of halting their advance, but if that were true then they would have begun advancing again once the mud froze over. At the end of the day, "It was winter" is an excuse, and everybody seems to buy it because that's a big part of what killed Napoleon's chances a century prior, but that neglects the full century of mechanization between those two conflicts.
I wouldn't blanketly claim the Red Army did it all alone, of course. It's just that "Winter" wasn't the other factor which halted the German advance. Rather, it was the now-fully-adoped German doctrine of "Movement Warfare" which was willing to destroy the Wehrmacht in the name of speed which played the other part of the formula. A slower advance would have given the Red Army more time to regroup and thus defeat the Wehrmacht, but advancing as far as possible as fast as possible wore the Wehrmacht down to the nubs to the point that they could afford to advance on one front (South) the next year and then never advance again thereafter.
But if speed cost too much and slow would have taken so long, then how could the Germans win? Answer: The couldn't. The only real bet they had was that the Soviets would fold in the first weeks of the war. They thought this was a sure thing given the Soviet's poor performance in Finland in 1940. They underestimated the radical difference the Soviet people would feel between a limited offensive campaign to try to reoccupy old land broken off from the days of the Czar vs. defending themselves from a literal genocidal invader. The Nazis thought the Soviets were actually pushovers and all of their hopes for victory relied on that assumption being true. Without that, there was never any real hope of victory and most of their brass knew that. "Winter" (among other things) is just what the brass blamed later because they were the ones writing the memoirs-turned-history books.
@@gnetkuji in Soviet Russia, winter starts by the end of November, so while yes it is fall, it's widely considered winter
@@CitySlicker34 "They were halted by the beginning of November, which was still Autumn" is not mutually exclusive with "Winter in Russia begins at the end of November." Even if we took your definition for "winter" the Nazis were still stopped several weeks before then. Winter didn't stop them. The Red Army and wasteful German doctrine stopped them.
Dylan Shramko the german supply chain along with the Soviets were the reason they were haulted

Benito Mussolini at 0:51 “HAG” nice HOT FUZZ reference
Love the Dr.Who cursed child reference!!!
As Christopher would say... “GO....TO....YOUR ROOM!!!”
"Time changes, people changes"... but war... war never changes.
It’s funny that you don’t mention the evil things Japan did
In the west, people tend to focus more on the Nazis as the primary evil and everyone else as "bad but not as bad as the Nazis".
Tbh, I'm not suprised.
Western historians tend to overly focus on the western front and the eastern front. Not Asia. It is a shame given the very interesting pacific island war and the immensely depth of events of the Sino-Japanese war, and the Burma/Indian theater. This of course includes not talking much about Japanese war crimes as they are focusing on Europe specifically and Asia generally. I'm glad he mentioned the internment of Japanse Americans and bombing of Darwin though. Not talked about often enough.
I was kinda dissapointed too. The casualties were about the same with the nuclear bombing of the two cities and The Rape Of Nanjing except the other one was wayyy more brutal and isn’t even talked about in most WW2 discussions.
Even Bill Wurtz in a summary of the entire world, talked about it while talking about WWII in like 30 seconds.
@@randomclouds4404 tru
I have a suggestion for another somewhat lesser known conflict, the Polish-Soviet War, which is an interesting mix of Lenin's style of rule and the tenacity of the Polish before WW2.
Its been almost 2 years since your video on the Russian Revolution i think its about time you cover the Russian Civil War
Fun fact, Eamon de Valera (Irish Taoiseach) offered his condolences to the German people following Hitler’s suicide
great video John love the extended versions of your old videos. Keep up the amazing work
2:40
You left out how French troops had occupied the Rhineland (Germany’s industry center) to insure they paid back the reparations. Also, st first Hitler wanted the Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia that was mostly German (only later did he invade the entire country which was not entirely German LOL)
Not a Nazi apologist you just missing some facts :)
Loved the 'fascist' 'hag' hot fuzz reference at 0:49
No luck catching those dictators yet?
5:21
DutchPride96 the greater good
@@DutchPride96 it's just the one dictator
Wasn’t expecting the bombing of Darwin to be mentioned as it’s not something a lot of people know about. Thank you and awesome work as always 👍 Best wishes all the way from Darwin, Australia.
Another great video. Keep up the good work!
The Soviet Union lost the most men of any nation
China: *Am I a joke to you?*
It's a yes or no question, the Soviet Union lost more. Period
China's highest estimate is the Soviet Union's lowest.
Including civilian casualties for both sides, which mind you is most of the cost of a war, china pulls out far ahead. At least that is including the entire Sino Japanese war, which a lot of historians dont count as part of ww2, however, even then china might still be ahead.
Shirokröte even if you count the 50 million Chinese killed in outright genocide by the Japanese?
@@acebalistic1358 Where did you even get a 50 million figure from?
What a great video. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are amazing. Never stop.
Such a great Video!!! Very informative and you kept it simple. Thanks
Great Video John! loved the message at the end
The title should be:
World War 2 in 20 mins (Reduced Version)
Really great video. Very informative and entertaining
5:12 And also still *techncially* having George VI as "King of Ireland"....
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
I'm not saying allying with Nazis were a good move, but keep in mind USSR also tried pretty hard to find allies in France and Britain, but both refused to create an alliance against fascism as Soviets were in diplomatic isolation
Yeah because they invaded Poland. Serves them right
@@aidan-ib7qk it wasn't only because of that, it was also because it was the Soviet Union led by Joseph Stalin
The Molotov Ribbentrop non aggression pact==Appeasement

Nice closure speech man...and the video was articulated too.. keep up the good work and cheers
im glad u gave credit to leo szilard, he was very influential in us making the bomb
You are awesome! I love history now. 💜🌍
Love the extended version
This video was fun to watch but here's a list of things I think you ought to have mentioned:
17. The British-Soviet invasion of pro-Germany Iran, and the Tehran conference between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin that followed.
16. The additions of Latin America to the Allied cause and their contributions of resources.
15. The Battle of the Bulge and its significance in American military history.
14. Operation Market Garden for its disasterousness.
13. The failure of the Western Allies to land at Dieppe.
12. The importance of British intelligence, such as that which cracked the Enigma signals code and mislead Germans to believe that beach-landings were going to occur in places that they didn't.
11. The neutral countries of Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Turkey, especially seeing as you mentioned Ireland; your own.
10. The massive war-production in Western Siberia that made the USSR the most powerful country in the world (until the American use of nuclear weapons).
9. The North Africa campaign in more depth than just 'the Allies moved across it'; mainly the contributions of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and India
8. The fall of Greece and the Battle for Crete, which showed Britain, Australia and New Zealand fighting together in Europe. The massacres of German paratroopers in their downpour on Crete put Hitler off using paratroopers at all on the Eastern front.
7. The conversion to the Axis of Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, as well as the oppressive invasion of Yugoslavia after the people of the country rejected Axis allegance. This is a big fraction of Europe to not include.
6. The Katyn Massacre, of Polish military forces that ultimately shook relations between the supposed Allies of Poland and Russia
5. The Siege of Leningrad
4. The nightmare of the Soviet advances on the German territory of East Prussia and north-East Germany for the natives, as Soviet soldiers avenged their own citizens by raping and pillaging German citizens. This period also included the Russian seizure of German nuclear secrets.
3. The Warsaw Uprising, for what a show of Polish misery the war was and of Stalin's ruthlessness abroad.
2. The monsterousness of the USSR & its concentration camp system, that effectively meant that by allying with the USSR the Western Allies used one awful country to bring down another. There is also the significance of Soviet judges at the Nuremburg trials sentencing Nazis for use of concentration camps while fully aware that their country was guilty of the same thing.
1. The Battle of the Atlantic. A whole video could be made about the importance of the Atlantic convoys that kept Britain going, the Arctic Convoys that saw freezing Naval warfare between the UK navy and the Kreigsmarine as the Allies supplied Russia, the nightmare of being on a U-boat that is hidden by the threateningness of U-boats, the British invasion of Iceland, attacks on US shipping barely off the Eastern seaboard, and the Atlantic campaign being a huge aspect of Canadian involvement in the war.
That's not including the fall of Singapore, the American Pacific Island hopping campaign, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, the opening of the Yellow River in China to flood Japanese soldiers, the rape of Nanking, the three-way battle for China between the Japanese, Chinese nationalists and Chinese communists, the exhaustion of the Chinese nationalists that lead to the rise of Mao, the many occupations of Pacific islands by Japan, the Japanese alliance with Thailand, the Indo-British jungle war against Japan in Burma, and the attrocities committed by the Japanese against Asians and Westerners alike.
But my compliments to what you did show. Jolly good show:)
This would be a 30 min video. But I think the crucial things left out are:
Nanking
British intelligence(really saved their asses)
How important resources were(oil in caucusus, why japan HAD TO invade allied land to keep holdings in Korea and Manchuria)
Stalingrad(turning point, not just winter)
Soviet war production and recovery
I think he could've also mentioned the Bismarck too
Turkey joined he war on February 23, 1945
Super educational. Thanks for this I feel big brain lol
0:49 That's a great, or good at least, reference.
4:14 A snake eater reference? Very nice.
I've seen people *cough* D'Souza *cough* who used the two ideologies interchangeably, as if Communism and Fascism are the same ideology. They're not.
there's plenty of american conservatives out there who pull horseshit out of their asses to try and say fascism is leftist, it's cute to watch

I like these videos
11:13 I hate to say this but the view of the Emperor being pro-war is inaccurate. See, after the first bomb was dropped, the High Command resolved to keep fighting, and then only convened with the government and Emperor when the second bomb was dropped. The Japanese Generals wanted to continue the war, while a faction of the government, led by Prime Minister Baron Kantaro Suzuki argued for peace. The decision, at the Prime Ministers request, fell to the Emperor, and he voted for peace.
Actually it was the Soviet Union invasion Manchuria. Not the second bomb.
@DeeDoubleU Because WWII is very complex. That's why there's literally hundreds of books, movies, stories, documentaries on it. Plus so many points of view, you could spend years studying it.

What about A Video About the German-French War of 1870-71 ?
Great Video !!!!
4:10 nice mgs3 reference
You should add that Soviet Union war effort in the Winter War was so ineffective because not only because of they don't have winter clohtes, but also the lack of leadership due to Stalin's The Great Purge in 1937.
The failures in the winter war were not at all associated with a lack of clothing. Winter in the territory of most of Russia is colder than in Finland. The problem was only in command, as well as greater maneuverability of the Finnish army. + defending is always easier than attacking
First person I've ever heard of talk about China, Australia and the Soviet's undermined significance during the war, bravo.
History Teacher: Germany started ww1
Me, a 13 year old intellectual : Sit down young child
cringe but ok
Germany DID start the war... on a technicality. Basically, if it wasn't for German support for TOTAL WAR as well as giving Austria-Hungary "carte blanche", the Austrians would have NEVER went on the, what was thought to be, a "punitive war" against Serbia (they didn't want to occupy the country, just get the capital and push many political and economic demands). Germany was waiting for such an opportunity to exploit so that it may invade Russia and France and finally establish itself as the dominant European Power. Through and through, in history, the main cause for a conflict is almost never the important one. WW1 was truly a useless war that had one sole goal: seeing who would come to dominate the concert of Europe (and it led to the death of ~20 million people).
