"off you trotsky" best pun i have ever heard.
I never heard that line
(And neither did you, if you know what's good for you)
''Youre going the wrong way! The finnish line is there!
-''i thought the winter war was over''
This is the kind of comedy i want to see used in more places, good job on the pun writing
Except the joke doesn’t work because Finland went back to war when the Germans invaded the Soviet union
@@goldenfiberwheat238that's half the joke, peace was made with Finland in 1940 but following operation Barbarossa they reignited the war in order to get their land back from the Soviets.
@@goldenfiberwheat238 The war where the Finns went back to war is called the Continuation War (also known as the Second Soviet-Finnish War), not the Winter War.

I absolutely love him starting off with debunking the rumor of the Soviets having no guns right off the bat, shows Squire is a true history enjoyer
It’s comical how Company of Heroes 2 can takes its self so seriously while basing its whole plot on debunked myths
@@Vernand1 They probably just wanted to play with a Maxim. Can you blame them?
My great grandpa was in stalingrad in ww2, he said that half the soilders had no rifles and just ran into the front to die with nothing in hand.
The craftsmanship on these cardboard weapons is truly exceptional.

Do you know what Stalin said in the red army it takes more courage to retreat than to go forward😂
I think Russia reinstituted that practice in the past couple of years.
I read this comment right when that part was on perfect timing
In a different version Stalin supposedly said that it took a brave man to be a coward in the red army @thebig12conference73

Holy shit the ending 😂😂
@@SquireComedy likewise! Somehow haven't seen your content untill now, binge watching it all 😂😂
I'm waiting for the JunkyardDigs and Square collaboration. Hopefully involving getting an old Churchill tank to start for the first time in 70 years or so.
The idea of a cheery office humor type NKVD officer is too hilarious
"Don't run or desert, have fun and stay alert" XD
the ending was brilliant! its just lather-rinse-repeat with how the wars are fought there
*Somber voice* “We are receiving news that a second T-34 has just hit the Ukrainian front lines… Aaaaaand it has broken down. It’s been abandoned.”
“Uhm’s not a date let me get my list” Genius 😂

@@TeaTimeWithTommy How do you know? You knowledge about Soviet Union in WWII seams ridicules.
@@user-bf7ix7fq3d Given the reputation of the USSR, NKVD, and the Political Officers... its a safe assumption.
One of the saddest but bravest things i remember reading about was on the eastern front and was in a book about stalingrad.
There was a piece that was ralking about some of the fighting done by the red army at stalingrad and one of the parts had a quote from a soviet soldier stating
"Comrades, in front of us is a large group of fascists. We have run out of ammo and can no longer fights. Begin shelling our positions. Farewell comrades, we did not retreat."
Unrealistic, the Tiger didn't spontaneously combust upon the tracks being jammed.
No you see intestines have a certain special cooling effect on German transmissions - very well known among the Soviet Navy but hadn't yet made its way to the NKVD office due to very literal translations of German documents
Plot twist, jamming the tracks actually did nothing because the Tiger had already broken down in that spot anyway 😂
The evolution of this channel from cardboard guns to real ones or at least realistic props of weaponry has been a pleasure to observe

I expected him to stop the car and tell Bill to get out. ^^
I thought the best part was during the “get ready, set” start, when he says “set” he waives the pistol AT the men as a little psychological signal. Hilarious.
I think squire has quite a charisma as a soviet commissar
Sorry the ending when I saw the green uniforms I knew exactly what you were presenting. Made me laugh so hard.
@@Eric0225 Modern day Russian army uniforms are green like that. So it was a old man from WWII being conscripted into the modern Russian army to fight in Ukraine. Russian soldiers have the nickname of Little Green Men (Aliens) or more commonly Orcs as a result.
@@Alte.KameradenSilly nickname, thats like calling US soldiers fuckin tusken raiders cuz they wore desert camo
@@SirCabooseCCCP Well, the Little Green Men started during the 2014 invasion when unmarked uniformed Russian soldiers crossed the border along side a Pro Russian militia force, as they darted across Ukraine to occupy Crimea. Since they didn't "officially" exist, they were called Little Green Men because they'd just walk around towns/cities with no markings.
Orcs is kind of the post 2022 Nickname after Russia's 2nd invasion of the country. Kind of a moral boost defending Helms Deep and all that.
But their Green Uniforms is the catalyst of the nicknames.
@@Alte.Kameradenwell, there is also all the raping, torturing, pillaging and murder, as well as the punishment of your own troops by torture, and the Chechen blocking detachments shooting retreating soldiers having a slight influence on that nickname I would say. Not to mention the deliberate targeting of schools, kindergartens, hospitals, maternity wards, shopping malls and apartment buildings rather than military targets. And the tactics and strategy. And also the country being a totalitarian shithole falling apart and hell to live in as soon as you leave the two major cities.
Oh my god i miss your content so much! Please never stop making this content! Love from indonesia
It's a blessing when Squire uploads, finally a video that can scratch my itch for prefect English humour.
Or is it a Scandinavian and Welsh mix....
I love that maxim machinegunner is named maxim, its refrence to old soviet warsong called "tale of the two maxims'. Chorus goes hard "tak tak tak goes maxim, tak tak tak replies the machinegunner"
Lol , the twist at the end has cinematic universe potential
I love the dedication Squire has for their fans. The time they must put in reading all of the comments and answering them is really inspiring to me
This is awesome. Been hoping for new vids. Cheers guys.
The British guy is the trolley here
5:50 "please dont be french" so relatable!
Edit: the machingunner is also very relatable with his comments :D
Keep up the good work guys. Thanks. Another great video.
You guys are absolute legends , this sort of dark humour in each vid makes me laugh so much, keep them coming lads
Man squire keeps the tradition of soviets having English accents in western war movies . Love it .
To answer the officers question “when was Stalin born?” He was born on December 18, 1878
No idea how I had never heard of this channel before. Great work, gave me a good laugh.
Off your Trotsky 😂
Good a squire upload
Edit: I’m sharing this video to all my friends going to force them to watch it
Awesome skit. Can you do one now on how Britain starved 100 million to death in India. That would be like 10x as funny.
India did not need any kind of help from Britain on that one, they managed do to it on their own and became a world superpower ruling over London these days.
Very impressed with our video, Comrades!
Another great video. You guys are fun to watch..
Now this is how you watch history! Man I love your channel, I reckon I'll spend the whole day binge watching your skits
'A gentle push'
'Out the windows yea?'
🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always
Great Content as always!
Squire the _second_ Russian in history to believe in trigger discipline.
Good god, that twist at the end. Nearly spat out my cereal... Good job xD
That ending 😂
Might be your best sketch yet.
Amazing vid guys lets keep it this way!
That ending had me in stitches! BZ to yet another fantastic sketch!
Love your skits
"Off you, Trotsky" I choked on my coffee 😂
I love your vids man
From Soviet Union to Today Russia. I think you have done a beautiful work, an amazing display of what satire is. Thank you.
Kinda wild you guys were able to get real footage from advika in the year 2024.
Great channel.
This channel has grown so much, they’ve started setting up sequels at the ends of videos.
It's one of your best scripts yet, this is. Yes, sir. Indeed.
The end, it killed me... 🤣
luv you guys!
water-cooled machineguns actually had better rate of fire, the reason they got discontinued is that they can’t be moved that easily, making manouver/encirclements more difficult
Very good video comrade!
I love that the pinned comment immediately addressed my first complaint lol good on you lads! Absolutely loved this. Much respect from America.
Perfect...new video uploaded
The window joke had me in stitches
We’re do you get your uniforms and military gear/props for these awesome vids of yours! I adore all of them very well made and funny 😂 thank you please make a new one soon 😀
starts off with an attempt to sound educated by refuting the "ever second man gets a rifle" myth, then spends the rest of the video on the myth of how blocking detachments were used
Except that isn't a myth, Narodnoe Opolcheniye WEREN'T all armed at all...
And the zagraditelnye otriady are a myth? What are you smoking? Soviet apologetics spreading around somewhere. My own great uncle was put at gunpoint and made to shoot at his family...
Awesome! Nice props too!
I really like how Jingles always plays these "old fella at the front" roles and doesn't seem to ever mind that he's only 26 and maybe getting SLIGHTLY negged by said casting.
daaaaaaamn, that end, guys you are freaking hilarious
As a Russian citizen with degree in Soviet history, I suggest you get blue collar (NKVD) cap for portraying barrier troops. Overall great and funny, as usual
Awesome video could you do every English soldier at Waterloo and maybe one 1776 , every German in Stalingrad.
Soviet blocking detachments actually did not generally gun down retreating troops. They'd usually stop them and send the officers to a penal battalion and the men back to the front. Sometimes officers would be summarily executed for cowardice but bodies are not an unlimited resource and the Soviets were keenly aware of this in 1942.
NKVD blocking detachments shot 1000 soldiers and sent 25k more to penal battalions in the first three months after Order No.227
@@AudieHolland not really, no, that was a direct quote. From Roberts, Geoffrey (2006). Stalin's Wars: From World War to Cold War, 1939-1953. Yale University Press. p. 132. ISBN 0-300-11204-1.
“Order No. 227 also stipulated the capture or shooting of "cowards" and fleeing panicked troops at the rear of the blocking detachments, who in the first three months shot 1,000 penal troops and sent 24,993 more to penal battalions.[10] By October 1942, the idea of regular blocking detachments was quietly dropped[citation needed], and on 29 October 1944 Stalin officially ordered the disbanding of the units, although they continued to be utilized in a semi-official capacity until 1945.”
@@LewisB3217sure, that many were shot and that many were sent to penal battalions, but out of what amount of people that were originally stopped and arrested? I remember seeing similar statistics how over the course of three months, around 100 thousand deserters were arrested, and around 1 thousand were shot, a similar amount was sent to penal battalions and companies, and the rest were sent back.
I know it's a comedy and they're not loaded, but the way Oliver always waves his guns around and flags everyone continually makes me nervous. 😂 But that's just me picking nits.
Love the video, as always.
"If we were going to commit state-sponsored murder," the soldier said in the middle of a war
This was your funniest in a while.
Best vid yet
the cg budget for the age up at the end must have been enormous which means the best
Crazy but Fun to Watch!
I've also watched "Enemy at the gates".
2:26 The winter war is over isnt it though. Never watch squire while you eating.
“Don’t forget to have fun!”
So wholesome
Someone high up in the film or tv biz, please give these two funny as lads a writing gig. Too much talent to be just on CZcams.
This is gold!
'NKVD Ombudsman' - brilliant!
love you guys
I am pretty sure that the tunic the of the nkvd officer is a modified Bulgarian Cold War tunic
I have one they are very affordable and look great
I wasn't expecting that ending!
Nice!
3 hours away? thats a nice day trip
This is dark and tasteless and I like it. :)
Advert right in the middle of the video is quite jarring, it would flow better if it were at the beginning or end imo
The state sposored muder part got me dying considering the past few years.
*Olly and Bill when writing sketch*
Bill: Do you think anyone will pick up on the fact we're not wearing any NKVD gear?
Olly: Nah, I reckon absolutely nobody will will notice that.

Hi squire
ok
I already did business with Ancestry, and it turns out that I am 20% Scottish and 20% Spanish and 20% Mesoamerican and 20% Irish and tiny percentages of other things. I know that exceeds 100% but I'm rounding the big parts up.
But of course the ancestry tubes were for spit and not Q-tips.
Ah, the sketchy site that definitely wont sell your DNA info to China or other criminals so they can modify their bioweapons to target your family specifically...
