The close up on the cat Whiskey at 7:09 and the pan back to Churchill at the end was epic
Simply: awesome!
Who knows how many of these young men actually saw each other again after this meeting
Probably not many the Prince of Wales was sunk...
Wonderful video.
this same ship, "Prince of Wales" has only about 10 months left for its life, before the Japanese sink it off Singapore
😥
@@inominate2024 Thank you. I knew the story, but it is alway so much more fun hearing it from another naval history buff. Cheers friend.
Are you serious? Why not pull her into a shallow dock and flood her to make a museum?? We did it with the USS York Town carrier in Charleston S.C?
Yes. Sadly, you have it correctly.
@@smoaky123 Yorktown sank in the Pacific, miles deep, never to be retrieved. unless you mean something name like that, but far less important and famous
So "pipe down" is a naval expression with a real meaning.
A REAL BANANA!!!
They should've played Yankee doodle for Mr Churchill as a reminder of who they were allying with lol.
I have five photographic plates from this meeting.
I can quite see Capt. "Pug" Henry standing there.
Where was George Formby & Arthur Askey during this solemn meeting?
4:06 visual diversion... Who cares what people would've said and would've thought, the fact is, he was a decent and honest president.
What gift did the President give to the ships company?
We still use them boxes today.
I wondered if they were going to show FDR standing. They did. And I also noticed the US navy officers saluting Churchill. Is that customary?
This was new ground to everyone when liberty is at stake all is possible
Churchill had a lot of honorary ranks in the british military and beyond, including Pilot Wings in the USAAF. I suppose that's why he's wearing an officer's style cap as well.
@@TheGrenadier97He likes to play dress up. You should have seen him in drag. Hilarious.
In two wars to figt four wars
2:30 that is harry Truman
Атлантическая хартия об открытии рынков здесь была подписана?
yes
I'm always amazed at how roosevelt and churchill knew full well the pedigree of the nazis before the camps were discovered.
Why would you think that? Most of the free world knew full well the nature of both dictators, their aims for world domination & their methods for dealing with people( both their own or subjects of occupied countries. The " Camps" were a peripheral issue to the larger goal of drafting them, lock,,stock and barrel. Reports had surfaced as early as 1941-1942 about the camps but, had been dismissed as not collaborated or disbelief.
@@shirleybalinski4535 I'm 65 and have studied ww2 everyday since I was 15. I believe I can say I know what I'm talking about. Remember in 1936 the whole world went to Berlin for the Olympics. Yes they knew about their antisemitism. But they didn't know they would resort to assembly line murder until about the middle of 1942. The point I wanted to make is that churchill in particular knew they were evil long before they proved it.
@@johnwright291 even about the Olympics we have been lied to. That hitler didn’t congratulate African American Jesse owens because hitler was racist is BS. Jesse owens writes in his autobiography: “Hitler didn’t snub me, it was Roosevelt who snubbed me” we have been lied about everything thx to American capitalist imperialist pricks
And yet they team up with another ruthless dictator from the east (commies russia) and sold all of the eastern european countries into stalin hand after the war.
@@zahrahmohamed3309 yes that can't be denied but churchill knew full well that he couldn't beat the nazi's without stalin and pulled every string he could to make sure they fought Germany.
Funny when you think about it that the ameican anthem they played is about Britain invading the US, and the British anthem is about the monarchy the US broke away from.
How come all the black and white videos have the same voice
It's the standardized Atlantic pronunciation. Even news agencies wear all about it.
1:20 Roosevelt and the rest of the oppressed under British rule: "Democracy you say?"
Democracy for the USA was helping overthrow/invade/assassinate leaders of countries in the Americas for business reasons/political interests while running institutionalised racial discrimination at home.
Democracy for Britain was holding an empire by subjugating and exploiting people's around the globe while maintaining an aristocratic semi-feudal system of government at home.
What a powerful glimpse into history! As an Englishman living in the United States, I feel privileged to carry the legacy of these great democracies that have contributed so much to the world. 🌍🇬🇧🇺🇸
