Can you do a video on zeppelins?
Could you do ww2 from the Belgian perspective next?
Woah
Nice! New video
Brusilov offensive?
For the non-politically active Germans, I've heard the war described as: "We were estatic after the victory over France and were expecting peace and the spoils of victory. Instead, the war kept going. And going."
Which is never addressed in the Vid...in a Vid about the German perspective. Yeah!
@@mikhailiagacesa3406 Armchair History does nothing but /his/ propaganda
Yea but they got greedy
@@BrianMarcus-nz7cs Who are "they"? You do realize that they did not were voting on their strategic decisions? And even Hitler was forced to react thorugout the war after he miscalcucated the British reaction
A quick peace was the hope of the German public in 1940, but Hitler wanted Lebensraum.

Well denazification went on well after 1945. I wonder why we never talk about that period 😅
@@Btn1136 It didn't lol. Many prominent Nazis were classified as followers and continued their political careers in Post-War Germany, that's also the reason the 68-generation wanted to speak about the crimes of the Nazis (their parent generation).
My German grandfather (born 1934) watched this whole video without pause & was fascinated the entire time by how much information was out there that he didn't know. Thank you for making this knowledge so accessible
Your german grandfather dont know german history? Sad

This is the best and probably the most detailed animated account of WWII EVER come across.
Keep up the good work.
Uh yeah cause there’s a total of like 3 animated versions of WWII
He said nothing about why Germans were pissed off and what haapened to them before it started which is a bit lame if you're making a video about Germans perspective... But it's difficult to honestly do that cause people don't like hearing those bits for some reason lol
@@chrisom4699 Because then they'd realize that they have been lied to--from every angle--for the past ~80 years and they'll realize that Germany was totally justified, and trying to do the world a favor on a scale never seen before.

Just wanted to swing in and say: I really love how you covered Canada's involvement and successes in the war effort. It's funny how many people forget that our country was not only involved, but was regarded as having some of the most terrifying troops to deal with.
When people don’t realize it was an actual WORLD WAR lol
Canada? Terrifying?!! Really????
its not a sports contest, chill out

@1:18:18 My workshop crew watches this channel on our lunch break on occasion, and every time we see your pipe everyone cheers and takes a puff or three on our pipes that we all made here at the shop. Thanks for the excellent productions!
How quickly you produce these long high quality is astounding. Keep up the great work!
Not to belittle the effort but they are just a collation of previous videos - its great though to have them in one single video....
Still they have to compile them and cut and add certain transitions
quickly? lol
Watch the “greatest story never told” or “europa the last battle” if you want the german perspective
@@Basedlocation pure fascist propaganda
When the armchair historian uploads a one and a half hour video you know it’s gonna be good
immediatelly watching
isn't this just a compilation of his previous uploads?
@@airplayruleNo I don't think it is
You said it man
Nice man stoked to see how your production quality and everything in general has improved and refined over the years of you creating this channel. Your work has paid off (and the work of your team as well too!)
Keep em' coming, I love history!
I love the video, so much analysis and so in depth. The animation is simply superb! An uncle of mine, being a military historian, once visited Omaha Beach. He was so surprised that the embankments were so vertical, although he knew of it already. It's really one thing to read or see a photo of and another to see in person. Very quieting.
Thanks! You and the armchair team are at least in the top3 (probably #1) of all WW2 content creators. Thanks again
Give this man some likes for that 2$
Finally a dono in a currency I know lol
Well… that’s assuming it’s US dollars lol

I love that this channel does no gimmicks and bad jokes. Quality remains extremely high. Thank you!
Well… “Good vibes only!” and Uncle Adolf with adorbs hearts in his eyes for the ubermensch… has something to say about the jokes part. 🤣
Lol… and Hitler hurting his foot on the Stalingrad door, then doing the allusion to the French “danced the jig” propaganda… yeah, there are plenty of bad jokes in here… and a gimmick or two, as well. Nothing wrong with it… great channel. Just sayin’. 😆
Pepe Silvia joke at 25:47
There’s jokes and gimmicks all over, what are you even talking about
A breathtaking production. Very well done.
I’m usually not a big fan of war history but I loved this documentary, very clearly explained and kept my attention the whole time. Excellent presentation!
well when its simplified like a child tale with good vs evil i can understand how it might appeal more to your avg iqd person.

Watch the “greatest story never told” or “europa the last battle” if you want the german perspective
@@berenger1002 yeah you are right, still cool tho
@@Basedlocation I watched Europa. Really, REALLY fucking eye opening. Had me in denial for over a month as well as I didn't want to believe what I was seeing since it completely goes against EVERYTHING I've learned about AH and WWII. But I think it's imperative everyone hears the other side, and come to their own conclusions.
I never thought I’d be glad for the sponsor part of the video
Had no idea it was coming out
Great work . Surprised how balanced and deeply researched
Very informative. Thank you for your time invested in this
Wow, just amazing, thanks very much Griffin for such a beautiful video, especially with such high quality
The way you educate your audience is truly immaculate! Forever grateful for this channel!
This is magnificently laid out. Thanks for posting this.
thanks for this amazing video, i love to watch your video’s. continue the good work
Awesome work Armchair Historia! Your animations keep getting better and your work is great as usual! One thing I want to say is Halder was responsible for operation Barbarossa. In 1940, Paulus and Wegner told Halder that Germany could not succeed in the Eastern front because of logistics problems. Yet, Halder decided to proceed with the invasion!
Additionally Halder, Guderain decided to go for Moscow while Hitler wanted to go South for the oil in 1941
I think all the German Generals not just Hitler wanted war but they lead a quick success in France get over their head
The Germans lost because the British refused to surrender and they ran out of oil. And Yugoslavia stalled barbarossa. AH bit more than he could chew
Watch the “greatest story never told” or “europa the last battle” if you want the german perspective
Hitler didn’t die in Berlin, he escaped to Argentina. See the film Greywolf.

Amazing video brother keep up the awesome work!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much for making this. Excellent commentary.
What a WONDERFUL Sunday morning this has turned out to be with an hour and a half quality documentary. Thank You...
To the creator: Bare with my story. I added this video to my queue and after a couple minutes was going to move forward. I usually prefer video documentaries vs animated ones. But I started doing household chores but left it on in the background. The more it played the more intrigued I became. I am a WWII history buff and a follower of Mark Felton. Anyway I sat down and kept watching and thoroughly enjoyed your work. In particular your significant telling of the post war years. Typically most creators only cover Nuremburg but you dove deeper. I knew the basics such as 10 yrs in Russia etc but you did an excellent job and I learned some things. I liked and subscribed. I look forward to watching more of your work.
Found this fascinating and exciting at times. Great production great work. Enjoy the little caricatures.
This isn’t “from the German perspective” this is just an analysis of the events that happened if anything it’s the allied perspective
Yes, just the regular old story. Nothing else nothing more.
🤡🤡🤡
🤡🤡🤡
Well yes, if you want the German perspective just watch Nazi propaganda where the Nazis speak incoherently about how the Jews are the ones responsible for this and that while they themselves take money from the German people behind their backs and use it to purchase yachts and villas.
I sincerely wish success on you in the future, as your content is always high-quality. I'm glad you met your Patreon goals.
Masterpiece work of immersive production, great narration, top-notch writing. One of the best history videos on CZcams.
I just love, love, your brand of story telling!😊
Such an interesting topic! And great video, aiming to make mine this good so youre such an inspiration!
This is a nice Chronological lineup of the WW2 videos from start to end. I really enjoyed it. Thank you Armchair Historian!

I know it takes alot of work and time to fit a big subject like this into a video and it's longer but alot of us still have the ability to pay attention long enough to really enjoy it. Thank u so much Armchair. Some subjects u just can't make a short video. Way too much info.

which animation software is this?
I figured this would be a literal feature-length film with all the videos that have been made on this topic.

I enjoyed every second of this documentary it’s very great I’m glad I came across this channel it looks good
1:29:15 Beautifully said Griffin. Fantastic video as usual!
thank you man. i always loved history and i wished i had friends to discuss history and current events with but all my friends are bored with history or just pretend to understand it. with your vids you have allowed my friends to atleast tolerate history and to be somewhat curious. that alone is alot that your vids has done for me. i still have to look for more friends hahahah

Amazing video. Thank you!
Interesting that Stalingrad and Fall Blau get a like passing mention but then Normandy has like 10 minutes.
Correction like 30 minutes about Normandy.
That’s Western bias for ya
Lmao boo fkn hoo
You mean like the way the Soviets cliam that they won the war single handed, even though they were allies of Nazi Germany until mid 41?
It’s probably because he’s done a huge video on Stalingrad before lmao
Love your videos though I have to point out that tanks were in fact used in the invasion of Norway. Regardless of their numbers or impact, they participated in the battle for important inland sites such as Tretten in the Gausdal. These were Panzer II’s…
Excellent video. Thank you.
