- At the outset of WWII, the Germans pioneer a new form of mobile armored warfare. This is the story of the famed Nazi Blitzkrieg, as thousands of panzers burst through terrain thought impossible to conquer Western Europe in a matter of weeks.

I find it amazing the amount of interesting things like this that you can watch on CZcams absolutely free of charge
We already paid for the internet services!
Its pretty cool eh?
I don't know how old are you, but I lived through the start of CZcams and the availability of information... I remember to seat on my pc and think woooow I can just think a subject and watch a documentary, and to be watching and thinking tgis is real its real people its really happening :) it was a shock and I was hooked right there.
@@TheAbrantino people had “internet and email” in the 60’s. You must be OLDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
@@chacdogful yeah im sure in the 60s you couid just hope on the webs and watch docs
Hey, that's David Fletcher from the Tank Museum channel!
He has appeared in quite a few documentaries over the years ^_^
@@vonVince I remember him well for his leading role in the "Greatest Ever Tanks", a Discovery production (unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere).
It's interesting how similar this is to the Battle of 73 Easting in the Gulf War. And the US troops at 73 Easting apparently had a picture of Rommel in their command Bradley.
Because they learn history. Rommel tactic is still relevant in to this day especially in the dessert.
The most powerful weapon for the panzer divisions in 1940 was the radio. Easy to stay one step ahead of the opponent.
true
And, you know, facing the French who hadn't advanced their Army past signal flags and runners because their High Command were so backward that it hurt.
@@youraveragescotsman7119 ikr? Especially since their tanks were superior in many other aspects but couldn’t play to their strengths
Something simple yet effective peace of equipment can change the outcome of battle
Thank you for providing us with such a great documentaries.

Any wars are not good for both sides as I grew up during the Nam war in the 60s then I had to live through the Pol Pot death camps from 1975 to 1979. Most of my family members did not make it. I am very lucky to be alive today. A peace!
may your familiy members rest in peace for ever... and i hope yo're safe where ever you are
I pray for you and your family......Germans were trying to crush the Bolshevik menace I think if communism was stopped in Russia I think it would of died out somewhat ....no Korea no Vietnam...you can thank Churchill for giving eastern Europe to Stalin after WW2 only helping it spread
I always find it interesting that no one wants to acknowledge that France and Great Britain lost to an inferior foe, but that foe was mentally and physically ready for war. I also find it interesting that no one talks about how the German blitzkrieg was good tactically, but logistically and strategically it was not a way to win a war.
They do all your points have been discussed at length
Yes but also the Germans were scoffing down their "Meth" (Pervitan) to fight off fatigue & to enjoy the violent behavior that every speed fiend on the streets today can demonstrate. Lol
I think we underestimate how thoroughly traumatised the French were by WWI: the shockingly poor tactics of imbeciles such as Nivelle left the French unwilling to risk another all-out war. In WWII their air force largely sat it out, and some French soldiers marched straight into captivity, preferring that to combat. Large numbers of French soldiers evacuated at Dunkirk chose to return to France and go into captivity, rather than continue the fight from the colonies. Strange times.
This was a splendid section of history to watch.
I was always taught that the lion share of the success of the lightning war Germany was dive bombers. But it’s always been a great competition between armies an air forces
Another great video!
Oh..!!
Germen tank is very strong..!!
Very well made documentary..!!^^
From free democracy of korea 🇰🇷..!!^^
Man this is old, look at the old Spring pup, David Fletcher, what’s he in this 25? Wow, already sporting that moustache at that youthful age! And Rolf? She sounds amazing! So young. Old footage, I don’t know how they got such great footage in colour! Amazing!
Rolf is stylish yo
Most WWII footage is old
Lets just appreciate that it exists man damn why are y'all crapping on them.
If it's too bad for you then don't watch it because honestly the cgi is better than the salty people complaining about the bad cgi.
We are the Panzer Elite,
Born to compete,
Never retreat.

I like the video , thank you .
Very good, thanks.
WW2 content is the best by far
I like the video , thank you ...
In all the games I had played, I only used one IGN and it's " Blitzkrieg ". I've been using it for almost 15 yrs now.
Remember the allies out numbered the German tanks by at least 3 to 1 and in man power by at least 4 to 1.....The bulk of the German forces was still in Poland,
thank you for modifying video, so could download, dan
Really interesting
May our countries never go to war again .
Love and peace from England .
I’m sorry but it seems like that may change soon
It is our nature to destroy ourselves
Too nice Historical Video about Tanks attacked in France during 2WW,its clearly labelled that 1- German Commander staffs were Mobilized their Armors units & Artillery units & air forces waves exactly in Newest tactical methods and in completely co-operation among them But in foe side Each force and Unit fought in isolated & hopeless separated situation
3:26 Not worth mentioning; German air superiority with close air support.
They mentioned there were something like 4,000 axis aircraft against 700 or something. I don’t recall the numbers, but they certainly mentioned it.
There are innumerable important factors in any war, so any documentary less than 2,000 hours long is going to ignore 10,000 things that someone knows mattered.
Nice 2 watch
What's really ironic is the fact that an allied aircraft had seen the traffic backlog of German vehicles piled up before they broke through the Ardennes. Imaging what could have happened if the top brass believed the report and sent just a few bombers to carpet bomb the long line of vehicles. One of those "what if's".
also if the French had used different tactics they could have demolished the Panzer's. The B1 Bis had more than double the armor, but they relied too heavily on the front armor and didnt protect their flanks well enough.
@@davidca96 Agreed. Great point.
@@BradleyRogstad Look up what a 1939 bomber could carry and you will notice that it would not have made a difference.
@@TorianTammasand the German airforce would accompany the German tanks and infantry
Why did you private the WW1 special on the first tanks?
Can you do a video about Iran Iraq war it is the last conventional war seen in history and one of the most unknown wars too
Black and white docs. God bless you people. At least someone loves us history addicts. God knows the History Channel don't love us.
12:10 they forgot about little Luxembourg
If they had the video game called "sprocket tank design" To study and improve their tank design, the outcome would be much different.
I do..
Sir!
...
The biggest flaw from that French b1 is that it's massive turret ring is very vulnerable.
That's Right!!!
Hmmmm, nice.
in German , a saying goes.., We blitzed you. Means, we fcked you up
I wish they wouldnt start every damn video with that ad
Chris Snow!
where is the captions ?
I shudder to think of how Europe would have suffered under the yoke of imperialist Poland if Germany and Russia didn't put aside their differences and defeat that mighty foe
Who needs videogames when there's shows like these? No need for a console, controller or headset!
idk this gave me the urge to play war thunder

I wonder how he eats and drinks lol
Panzers and tigers with there 88 mm cannon were forminible tank.
Reminds me of PS1 Panzer front
The Char B 1 was garbage. That massive low gun had no lateral movement and the turrent was added as an after thought.

Rivets on tanks? They act as projectiles in the tank, when hit from outside.
Conquest and untold human suffering. ESP for women and children.
But hey. The Power loves conquest.
Where's the subtitles?

How's your pops doing ?
"BLITZKRIEG", wenn ich bitten darf. ;o)
Ini ada di buku Rommel
The accuracy of this presentation is shaky at best and self-serving at its worse! The Germans made such great gains daily all along the front except for one tiny area. Logistics did more to slow the German advance than anything...
though that might be a German poe
one tiny area..Arras?
'Blitzkrieg" is the spelling. :-)
why is BEVENUNG KRIG ! MAJKA

It started out good ....but
My Great Uncle was awarded two medals after the British and Commonwealth defeat in France forced their scarper at Dunkirk: one for sprinting, the other for breast-stroke!
not sure there were any CW troops in France. It was in any event an expeditionary force. In retrospect they got the strategy right..committing more and more troops and planes to France would have just resulted in us all speaking German today as the French Army was unfortunately on the path to defeat. They also managed to get out, helped by Hitlers misjudgment, the core of what would be the army of 1944. If the whole of the BEF both Regs and Terriers had been killed or captured, would have been a huge task to rebuild
Gurkha Kukeree has been surrender under Mangkunegaran...
That attitude is why the Frenchies always loose the fight 🦾😎🦵🇺🇲

In last year of 1WW Britain and later France used tanks as infantry supporters ..during 2WW their general minds were not obtainable to using tanks similar to cleverness minds of German generals minds ...German mobility were not only blitzkrieg also comrades continues mobility forces
Why dident the germans slope more of there armour on there tanks ? Its nothing new to slope armour we see it even in midevil times. Russia did it to. Any tank people here please let me know. Thanks so much.
The Germans didn't slope the armor of their tanks because it benefitted the crew when it came to space and comfort, overall better ergonomics. Other nations like Great Britain and the US didn't bother sloping that much because of this reason, too.
Maybe you will find answer here:
“The attack on Moscow was given preference over the capture of Leningrad. The attack choked in the mud, when the capital of Russia, which opened before us, was a stone's throw away. What then happened in the infamous winter of 1941/42 cannot be conveyed in oral or written reports. The German soldier had to hold out in inhuman conditions against winter-accustomed and *extremely well-armed Russian divisions.*
About T-34 tanks:
“Another event hit us like a ton of bricks: Russian T-34 tanks appeared for the first time! The astonishment was complete. How could it happen that up there, they did not know about the existence of this excellent tank?
The T-34, with its good armor, perfect shape and magnificent 76.2-mm long-barreled gun, made everyone in awe, and all German tanks were afraid of it until the end of the war. What were we to do with these monsters thrown against us in multitudes?
About heavy IS tanks:
“We examined the Joseph Stalin tank, which, to a certain extent, was still intact. The 122-mm long-barreled gun aroused our respect. The disadvantage was that unitary shots were not used in this tank. Instead, the projectile and powder charge had to be loaded separately. The armor and uniforms were better than those of our "Tiger", but we liked our weapons much more."
“We looked with envy at how well the Ivans were equipped compared to us. We experienced real happiness when several replenishment tanks finally arrived to us from the deep rear."
"Ironically, just before the war, we supplied the Russians with a huge hydraulic press with which they were able to produce their T-34s with such elegantly rounded surfaces. Our armaments experts did not consider them valuable. In their opinion, such thick armor could never be needed. As a result, we had to put up with flat surfaces.”

we won the war lots of times
Heinz guderian wrote a book on armored warfare and the new way of conducting it but the french and british never read it so they totally missed the memo 🤭😂
bro they develoed better tanks than the germans
@@thecanadian8206 Meh, the Char Bis 1 had good stats but achilles heel in no radio, weak grate on side and one man turret dysfunction. Matilda II was better but still beatable.
No one was really preparing for a new war so soon after the last one--except the Germans.
@@auerstadt06 France was putting it's eggs into an expensive basket: the Maginot Line, which the Germans did an end-run around.
@@thecanadian8206 So why did the "better tanks" loose France in a fee weeks?
Why doesn't anyone ever credit British general J.FC. Fuller for the Germans using the tactics he desribed in the 1920's. And were ignored at home. For the blitzkrieg tactics the Germans learned from him? Credit where credit is due. The germans used Tactics, proposed by a British general. Who the British derided and ignored. Adaptation is superior to complacency. Thinking that yesterday defines tomorrow.... Oops

Greatest tank battle in history in France? Is this a joke?
Obivously at that point in time, because everyone knows the greatest tank battle came in Kursk.
Too light on facts and too heavy on spectacle, typical for American documentaries unfortunately
Blitzkrieg mah dipakai di Russian
IDI NA HUJ KURVA LJEV ! MAJAK
The German tanks were not so "mighty", it was just that the commanders used them better. Also, did the 88MMs have AP ammo?
actually in many ways a more interesting period than late war with so many tanks with thick armour and an arms race in terms of gun size...i think the biggest German tank gun was maybe a 37mm or 50mm or short barrel 75mm on some Panzer IVs
Yes they had ap shell and the gun/mount was designed with direct fire in mind they used this in Spain's civil war against tanks as well as aircraft it was not a new tactic.
Hans get the in to tank we go to Russia
