My brother once joked that the reason why he survived the bombing at Wolf’s Lair was because the table itself was a devout Nazi that instantly flipped over to sacrifice itself as a blast shield for the Führer
This is the funniest shit ive read all day😭
@@youngmasterzhi joke? That's historical fact!
@@thuyazin6319fr
After the assassination of Reinhard Heidreich the Germans went on a rampage against the Czechs killing hundreds of people in revenge killings. It was this event in which the allies stopped assassination attempts on top ranking Nazis because the civilians would pay a heavy price in retaliation.
Because we otherwise where nice to occupied people? 🤨
Since when did the British Empire give a hoot about civilians 😅
The reprisal caused more people to join and act in the resistance and legitimized the government in exile, a price which the Brits where willing to pay in Chech blood
@@KonradvonHotzendorf It's well documented that the British did indeed stop sanctioning missions to kill top Nazi's so your comment doesn't make any sense.
@@otten5666 Heydrich was the only 1. They never sanctioned one before.
Cause and effect
Maybe a greater concern assinating NAZI would lead to NAzI assing 🇬🇧 politicians
The British war and diplomatic effort benefited from the reprisals
Churchill wanted to bomb 3 🇩🇪 villages for every Chech, but it was because he cared about civilians and scruples he wanted the bad ones ☠️ 3:1
@@KonradvonHotzendorf Is "Chech blood" from an alternate reality where Chechnya and Slovakia were one nation at some point? ;)
@@junibug6790Czeckia not Chechnya
Please never stop making those dad jokes Johnny. They're gold.

@@-Shadow__Rider- yeah, I edited it. Lest people really get nervous about a Robo-Hitler living in Agentina.
Didn't grandpa Simpson get the iron cross?
Back in the Second World War 2.
@@scockery Yes it really was and also for that rifle I'm guessing it's a 1903 Springfield and could be good candidates on it's own or the possibility of an alternate reality of Hitler escaping to Argentina or any of the South American countries is another good video idea in itself.
Grandpa does everything the longer the series goes on because the Simpsons writers don't give one crap about continuity
I think one can assume as grandpa Simpson being an unreliable narrator, a combination of age related memory loss and a desire to exaggerate accomplishments to make himself look good.
(EDIT, in universe explanation, obviously real explanation being the writers just wanted it that way for that moment and so it was.)
He shot down a German plane last year, so ...
I think we should build a statue for the guy who killed Hitler... wait.
🤣🤣🤣
Haha, a geography pun at the end. Regarding the attempts to off the moustache guy, I think they grew more serious as Germany started losing the war. He wasn't as big a problem when he was winning, nein?
Only from his fellow nazis.
Old joke:
Guy appears out of nowhere with a raygun in front of Hitler's office in 1936. SS guards immediately shoot him.
1st guard: Damn. Another one. At least he didn't get to the boss.
2nd guard: Yeah, but do you ever wonder why so many time-travelers keep trying to kill him?
Because they never learn. Oh well, at least they have more technology to use.
@@alfrancisbuada2591 Maybe they just keep coming from different timelines and nobody talks it over first?
@@MM22966 fuck that line of questioning. What matters is der fuhrer does not know that he has an SCP Foundation with him.
"Long live our sacred Germany"-Claus Von Stauffenberg
Wolf mountain in sniper elite 5 is one of the most fun video game missions ever, glad you showed that game.
Great video again johnny!
Oh yeah and also can suspect that the Operation that inspired this I can say it's Foxley I suspect never carried out as a fact anyway look that up.
04:50 The Polish Home Army actually tried it out. And yes, if not for Hitler's erratic change of plans, they would have succeded in killing him.
If there is one movie scene i want to be real its Little Nicky's Hitler getting a pineapple where the sun don't shine daily
Say what u will about him, but in the end he did kill Hitler 😅
you can show yourself out
The movie : Georg Elser - Einer aus Deutschland a.k.a. Seven Minutes from 1989 was also a good watch.
@@TellySavalas-or5hf Yes i know, it's with Brian Dennehy and Brandauer.
You needed the clip from The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission where the team sniper had AH in his sights, but the mission was to kill the General standing next to him because he was trying to assassinate Adolf, which would prolong the war.
I am German. Georg Elser was a true Hero to the German people. Because he proofed that a single ordinary individual without any assistance can resist tyranny and change the course of history by his own wits and courage. In opposition to Stauffenberg Elser did not participate in the war of aggresion and Elser was tortured by his captors who let him alive because they did not really believe that he acted alone. In Opposition to Stauffenberg Georg Elser legacy was not credited aftee WW2 even by his own hometown and family because for decades until the war generation paused mostly away because Georg Elsers courage shamed nearly all other Germans because he was so close of killing Hitler and prooved that everybody had a chance to resist which most of my grandparents generation never dare to think about
This is on top of all his near death experiences leading up to taking over Germany. It's as if the man had literal plot armor
Time travelers were protecting him. They did a Dr. Strange thing and discovered him living to 1945 was actually the best possible scenario out of 14 million.
If you don’t make at least one Danger 5 reference in this video we riot
Okay shit! I haven't even seen this. I feel like I have some catching up to do.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq PLEASE WATCH!!!! Hilarious!
We need a follow up video, "The Sit Down Gun in movies."
What I liked about "Valkyrie" is the movie pointed out that killing Hitler was one thing but it was also necessary to have a plan in place to put in a new government right away. The old "20th Century" documentary show with Walter Cronkite had a 2-parter on the plots to kill Hitler. A few episodes are on you-tube.
The sten gun had a reputation for jamming being cheap can cost you your life
I'd read a book that had a quote from a British paratrooper about how a new shipment of Stens was a mixed blessing. They'd get 30 of them, and after disassembling and cannibalizing them, would end up with about 20 decent ones.
@@Themaxwithnoname Hard to even think of that as well and also anyways for JJ among other topics could look into the AK-47 and M-14 rifles, RPG-7, MANIPAD missiles like the SA-7 and Stingers are also good and who knows still looking for MI-24 Hind helicopter and well there's a whole lot out there.
Make sense considering it’s main appeal was being cheap and easy to craft
@@christianweibrecht6555 Really explains a lot there and also considering the price of other SMG's at the time like the Thompson it was really costly. Anyway really look that up.
@@kellychuang8373 yeah they were paying up the nose for Thompsons
Just imagine it to be such problem for your own military that you become your enemies asset
As the old adage goes: Never correct your enemy when he is making a mistake
Not really, his existence as indisputable Wehrmacht Commander-in-Chief ensured German forces kept on fighting till the very end, adding perhaps one or two more years of the war with Allies and Soviets forces literally have to fight all the way to the Rhine and Berlin, costing them hundreds of thousands casualties, solely because the German leader himself that zero qualm of sacrificing everything to make their victory as costly and bloody as possible, and no one else in Germany could change his strategy otherwise.
When Hitler had to give a speech in Hamburg, there was always 10 cm thick armored glass in front of him. It's strange that he always continued to drive a convertible.
...It borders on Chile
This one was very clever if Johnny tbought of it himself
but how mild is it?
Johnny thought that was Hitlarious.
Bruh
As the son of Argentine parents, i had to facepalm over the 'weather' comment. That was a pretty Nazty joke. =P
That cuckoo clock...i had to rewatch several times because i could stop laughing! :D
Isn't it weird how we portray villains in media a little flamboyant. You can see it in this video, especially in sniper elite.
Wolfenstein 3D brings back such fun memories for me. One of the very first computer games I ever played other than Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Oregon Trail. I would run around each stage hitting every section of exposed wall to try and find all of the secret rooms before moving on to the next level.
My exact experience as a young lad.
Alas, the game, no matter its memorability, hasn't aged well compared to Blake Stone, Doom and later Wolfenstein titles like Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Haven't played Carmen Sandiego though, since I was more a LucasArts puzzler. Wonder how many of them aged surprisingly well?
@@michaelandreipalon359 My original experience with it was back in 1991-1992 on DOS and my most recent playthrough was on the Xbox 360 a couple years after it's release and I had a blast.
Doom is great and I also have amazing memories of playing it. One buddy had two connected PS1's hooked up to two TV's placed back to back so we could play deathmatch games. Good times!
It's good fortune that the game sniper elite 3 specifically had a mission full of silly ways to assassinate Hitler, certainly made for good visuals in this particular video
It's a tradition since the part I where Karl had to shoot Bormann and his soviet contact to prevent Soviets from taking over the german nuclear program. And it was a part of main game's canon rather than funny dlc
0:28 After the dozens of failed assassination attempts he showed the amateurs how it's done.
Perfect opening, great timing lmao.
Don’t forget: Rogue Male!
After I saw the Peter O'Toole version, I decided to buy myself a takedown hunting rifle, or at least start saving up for one, because the prices gunsmiths ask for takedown Mausers and similar full length centerfire cartridges are insane, not to mention all the shipping paperwork.
That was your worst but best pun - so far... ! And as always a great informative watch.
can you do a video on the sdkfz 234/2?
The movie "Goebbels und Geduldig" (2001) was about an Goebbels assassination.
Oh! I haven't seen it! Thanks I'll check it out.
0:21 I love you bro, this is a scene of a french movie i used to watch at my grandma house as a kid 😂
So a video on this guy is monatizable as long as it isn't the real deal?
Just confused by youtube who has been dinging documentary type channels just for having clips of speeches.
You can monetize video of Mr. H real or otherwise. It just usually needs a human review and how that human reviews the video and channel can really vary. It's a roll of the dice everytime you make a dark-ish history video. So far they have been pretty good to my channel but you never know.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq thank you for clarity on that specific guideline! Wishing you continued luck on excellent content.
You can't post his unedited speeches but you can post fictional versions from Holl-oy-vey-d productions, just so long as they pass a ((human review)) of what's permissible.
8:08 That impeccable French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo in a Nazi uniform. Well, I never …
Honorable mention to the Avengers third movie and War-Machine doing the "travel back in time and garotte baby Thanos" hand-motion. 😆
ur my fav channel for some time now
Thanks man! These comments mean a lot 🙏
Wolfenstein 3D clip? 10/10!!
0:21 5:05 Geoffrey Household's Rogue Male should at least get a honourable mention. Because it's the first literary plot to kill Hitler that inspired one of the real plots, operation Foxley
0:39 oh, the better Stauffenberg movie finally got some recognition.
You left out the one SUCCESSFUL attempt, by Brad Pitt's team in Paris in 1944. I notice there were clips from Quentin Tarantino's documentary on it but no mention of the event.
Honorable mention: Man in the High Castle, Season 1. Standartenführer Rudolph Wegener punked out...Of course, he was about twenty years late for it to matter, so...
Spartacus broke down each on his War Against Humanity.
AH was full of drugs and suffering from Parkinson's.
The background footage on this vid was perfect 10/10, also Chile??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i am into that, never stop
The simpsons scene always gets me lol
Great Abe Simpson begining, this secures how awesome these videos start.
I recall reading an article on why Vice Yamamoto Isoroku was discovered, and fundamentally killed, because of how punctual he was, which was a stark contrast too Adolf Hitler, which he procrastinated.
Great as usual, never a dull moment, continue your best.
Take care, and all the best.
I recall there were 40 re 3:50 corded attempts on Hitler's life, including several bomb plots. One was at a Bavarian Beer Cellar and the bomb exploded but Hitler had left the meeting unexpectedly early.
9:37 these strike animations at the bowling alley are getting way out of hand
That and good use of those parts on the ways Hitler could be assassinated in the video too.
Thanks JJ and who knows what next may want to look into this interesting SMG the Heckler & Koch MP-5 as another idea also has a history among who knows what others including ones I mentioned.
You mean to tell me,the little mustache man is
DEAD?
Then who's the guy living in my niebours backyard shed, screaming orders in German, and demanding fresh veggies EVERY EVENING!?
A Brazil boy?

Nah,

Could you please make a video about late 19 century military sabers in movies? I do HEMA and study classic (second half 19 century) military saber, but unlike with rapiers or, per say, katanas, I can't recall any movies in which they would be famously or realistically featured, which is a little sad bacuse it's nice to assiciate yourself with your favourite movie hero sometimes. Could you help me out with that? So far I can only remember it being in the first battle of The last Samurai movie.
There were some plots in the Vatican too. It's better known nowadays after decades of propaganda that Catholic Church officials indeed helped hiding persecuted jews in Rome, despite the threatening german presence. The clandestine operations involved possible attempts too, but understandably given the difficults, nothing went forward. Stauffenberg' was surely the closest of such a would be good riddance.
Nice video and great closing comments too.
i loved that pun at the end lmao
Last time someone kill Hitler, the allies had to fight tooth and nail against Stalin.
That 1943 study's conclusion: Hold up. Let him cook!
Along with I can agree really doubt Hitler could flee to Argentina either.
Thanks for the like and who knows what next.
Now, why would I do that?
It got to a point where leaving him alive was more of a hindrance to the German war effort than killing him
There was also one time Hitler was to take a look at some captured Soviet equipment at the Zeughaus armory museum, where a German officer named Henning Von Treskow tried to assassinate Hitler by detonating British clamp mine, the Idea was he would stay as as he could to Hitler until it detonated, blowing everyone and himself in the process
he showed all those plotters how its done
I had a slim hope we would see some Danger 5 this episode.
Ironic how the best Wolfenstein games (in my opinion, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, The New Order+The Old Blood, and maybe even 2009) actually don't have you meeting, let alone fighting, the guy. Oh, well, at least there's the Brutal Wolfenstein 3D and Blade of Agony fan mods.
Was expecting some clips of Justice League's "The Savage Time", from which he was temporarily overthrown and cryo'd by Vandal Savage, but I sure didn't expect Hey Arnold! to appear here.
6:30: Can a bowling pin even do that?!
You know, if I were given license to do a "take care of Hitler" time travelling/Multiversal storyline, I'd rather make it a surprisingly kinder and benevolent take. Imagine an undercover operative tasked in becoming his true best friend from childhood to the interbellum years, which may lead to an alternate iteration where he became a happy and philanthropic painter (think the "Golden Ending" for Titanic: Adventure Out of Time) and maybe even becoming an occasional side character (and hopefully even ensemble darkhorse character) when friends of said operative visit this better world in certain other story arcs; he could be one who joyously serves out really good homemade coffee and sausages, the guy.
Very droll Mr. Johnson. Very droll.
Love the sniper elite killcams
Could you do a video on the weird and wacky weapons/equipment of ww2 that didn’t actually pan out well
One is a unique attempt to use rockets instead of parachutes to safely airdrop vehicles and supplies into the warzone
And another was a French weapon which was in all reality a stink bomb
Or the U.S.’s guided ship bomb that was meant to be piloted by trained pigeons
I think there were some artillery shells meant for transporting agents and equipment over the Channel
It really does seen like he had some divine protection.
Don’t forget t when the 8th air-force tried to bomb him into oblivion
Ah the wonderful world of Johnny....the Simpsons are simply brilliant...cheers...E...
Very disappointing that you didn't use any footage from Danger 5.
I remember, ages ago there was a PC game when you "erased" Hitler's memory, so he was just a regular amna. But the Soviet Union was a menace in exchange
That almost sounds like Commando and Conquer: Red Alert. Almost.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I am not quite sure, but you are probably absolutely right. My favorite series of PC games are Heroes of Might and Magic :)
Sebastian Koch = a great actor.
Came for the history stayed for the end of video dad jokes
I'm not buying the idea that Hitler's decicisions were bordering on bonkers. It's in the victor's interest to paint their enemy as evil, stupid and mad. Napoleon wasn't short either. He was slightly above average height, around 1,69 m, it is believed.
Tom Cruise look similarly to claus von stauffenberg
Cruise was foot too short to look like Von Stauffenbegg. The German movie is a much better version.
@@barrythatcher9349 And what about the 1990 version The plot to kill Hitler?
@@TellySavalas-or5hf it was quite reasonable a little dated now. The German version just seems to hit the nail on the head.

he died in argentina..

YES
Von stauffenberg was framed
Why you done fucked up for $2000 Alex. Daily double!
is that derailment video real?
I think so...?
Me: *casually listening*
Johnny: "Hitler died of suicide April 30th 1945 at the age of 56 in his bunker in Berlin. However, in the real world..."
Me: "Go on..."
All this luck is proff that time travelers killed hitler, then the resultant future was even worse and try to fix it saving hitler from their own assesination attemps
just saying, if no body was found. did they actually turn out the way history says? usually not.
Surprised no footage of Inglourious Basterds (2009), since it was a giant Hollywood wank-fest about this exact subject. And those punch-guns were kino.
Hans Landa pops up for a few seconds towards the end of the video ;)
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Ahhh, I must have looked away from the screen!
I’m disappointed you didn’t use any scenes from the show Danger 5. Every briefing the team got ended with “and for God’s sake kill Hitler!” And every episode ended with Hitler escaping by diving through a window.
I've honestly never seen it! But now I must.
Worth Watching: Killing Hitler ( 2003 ) BBC Documentary/CZcams 1:28:33
Now for Hitler's Communist counterpart also known for insignificant survival... Fidel Castro
How did this get posted before the trump attempted assassination
Correction He Died At The Age Of 57
Personally I think AH wasn't all that insane, just VERY evil and outright dumb/incompetent. Let's not dismiss evil as being the result of insanity instead of resulting from other things, such as an evil ideology. It should also be mentioned that AH's generals weren't exactly the best military leaders themselves and that dismissing AH as insane kind of makes it sound like he isn't responsible for the evil actions he did/ordered.
You forgot the shot from Danger 5 with him dodging machineguns & jumping out a window
The real heros were the ones who tried to kill him before he started WW2.
I am disappointed in you, this video was a perfect opportunity to show Professor Farnsworth shooting Hitler with his ray gun as they traveled through time but you totally missed the chance!🤣🤣🤣
History lesson: not all German Nazis were bad. As history depicted.
Gotta love Captain America: The First Avenger for mentioning that before the climaxes. Man, that film and The Winter Soldier are true gems even amongst the now flawed MCU.
