I appreciate the great history documentaries CZcams provide for us. Richard in Dallas
My Father was in the russian convoys thankfully he survived and I applied successfully for the Arctic Star after he passed away. Very proud of what he did.
Respects to his memory and service.
The lack of recognition given to the personnel who kept the USSR supplied until almost all of them had passed on was disgraceful. The UK govt repeatedly blocked the Soviet then Russian offers of awards of the "Ushakov medal" to RN sailors who had taken part in the Arctic convoys, it was only afer 2014 when again most of the veterans had passed on that the Russian awards were generally permitted.
War Stories Great Channel very well presented and very informative ❤
A wonderful channel that deserves all respect, appreciation and pride. Accurate and useful information in a sophisticated and beautiful manner. I wish you lasting success. I have the utmost respect and admiration for your great honor for these wonderful works. I hope you success
They will continue to exist for as long as they continue to pay for the rights to show the work and programming of other networks. If it weren't for the History Channel, they'd lose half of their content. Nevermind the other sources they pluck material from.
When I saw the credits,I knew Michael Cove wrote this, sounds exactly like PRICE OF EMPIRE a great Documentary also. Thanks Michael.
The French Battle Plan never changes: Run, Hide, Surrender, Collaborate.
French should just change their flag from blue red and white to full white already.
No that's the Italians.
Why does France plant trees along their roads? Because the german solidier likes to march in the shadow ;)
This is fantastic!!!
Amazing!
I must say this documentary is very insightful and very much interesting
wish you continuous success . A very beautiful and wonderful work that deserves admiration and all appreciation. Never stop.. It would be great if all your works are translated into Arabic. I wish you well and happiness. Thank you for your exceptional and distinguished effort in presenting this very beautiful work
I so much appreciate the Australian perspective in this whole series, and am so glad that they bring into the light names and armies that people only know from reading the few books about the tough campaigns in Asia where the Australians took a major role. More have been published in the past 15 years, but I love seeing the film footage and hearing about their quiet heroism wherever they fought.
And New Zealand
Great Channel here!!!
Thank you for uploading. ,
War never ends
Why are you repackaging the same shows over and over and spamming them as 'different' content?
From Stalingrad to Berlin in every Blitzkrieg i get in my heart in pumping for blood, pumping for blood.
On May 18 the Polish flag flew above the ruins 🇵🇱 very proud.
My father was in the New Zealand 22nd battalion (infantry) at Cassino. He said "The bloody Germans were up there alright!" The allies also bombed the town itself which was a mistake as it made it exponentially difficult to dislodge the Germans as the ruins made it easier for the Germans to defend. Streets blocked so couldn't use tanks, etc.
Interesting
Tyvm to your Dad for helping to save the world!
@@RogerLewis-ey2tt Thanks Roger, Dad passed away about 10 years ago, but I'll pass your thoughts on, when next I see him! Cheers J
@@johnthorburn3712my grandad fought in Egypt with the 2nd NZEF until having his eye blown out by a grenade. He’s with your grandad John.
Same mistake the Germans made in bombing Stalingrad .
Awesome!
It was an informative episode with accurate evaluation....covered most battles and operations of WW2
Nope. Wrong evaluation.
I appreciate that this program was focused around the more, lets say impactful/direct engagements and of course, all of them impactful just by the amount of resources and manpower alone. However, in addition to direct clashes between military forces I think that many resistance/anti fascist movements like in in the Balkans, France, Scandinavian region, England, China and many more are not to be seen as less important and deserve at least a honorable mention if only briefly and as a whole. These deserve a whole other program in itself.
A great point and one not discussed enough in my opinion. The little man...or woman....fighting back against the oppressor....We need this now too.
How can the new Zealand troops fighting in the Pacific against the Japanese be a "crucial" turning point to Hitler's downfall?
10:12 could you imagine waiting for that to end so you can surrender and just hoping you survive long enough
From stalingrad to Berlin and every disco I get in 🎵🎵
underrated comment
Another fantastic presentation
You didn't mention operation Bagration. Red Army.
The German army was falling apart starting fall 1941, even before the first winter. They had supply, and fuel problems, and many of the equipment and men were falling apart and not being replaced. It took 1942 for the Red Army to build up to the level to be able to take advantage of this growing German army's weakness. Stalingrad underlined that Barbarossa was a huge mistake. Germans knew about Napoleon's experience invading Russia, but they did not object to Hitler's plans!
Then after their defeat at Stalingrad, those German soldiers went straight to the gulag. After watching a video on the gulag and what went on there, I wonder if they would have been better off fighting to the very last man/bullet as the propaganda claimed.
Considering only five thousand came back out of 91k prisoners.
@@deneshbhaskar8650 Better than 0 if they would have fought to the last man. Those survivors were needed back home to help raise their wife's new kid 🤣🤣
Absolutely
Field marshals and generals captured at Stalingrad were actually treated pretty well, they had their own headquarters under guard in Moscow. The enlisted men were marched to Siberia and other gulags. I was shocked when I learned about that. I thought they just sent them all to gulag.
History is just too insane o_o
Wow. Heavy.
Both Friedrich and Arthur were incompetent tactically, you never put an adminstrator (pencil pusher) at the head of a combat div.That's why Ike never took a line combatant command,he was smart enough to know nothing good ever comes of it.
See😊
He obviously wasn't that good of a pencil pusher either. No one was asking him to grab a rifle and defend the line. He just needed the IQ to understand the pen is mightier than a sword and write up ✍ a proper plan.
His enemies was out there beating him with brains - not muscle.
Wow
So children we have learnt today without the slaves and porters you cannot win a war. Unsung heroes.
I can’t believe 2013 was 6 years ago
Government Math.
Operation paperclip makes me realize they really didn't lose world war 2!
Tf the haven’t , when there’s Nazis getting wheeled out from his colony at age 90+ they deffo haven’t lol , and if they did , Nazism live amongs most Israelis
My friends grandfather served in the Germany army and fought at monte casino.
and he said that they had orders to not occupy or fight from the monastery. However once it had been destroyed they then got orders to dig in and occupy the rubble as now it was a great defensive location. So yea it was one of the bad decisions of the Allie's during ww2. As it costs a lot more lives and made the battle last longer then it would have.
I personally feel like bombing it was clearly not necessary and ruined an ancient
Building.
The Italian Campaign in the ETO , and the Burma(Myanmar ) Campaign in the PTO , should get more acknowledgement of their underestimated significance in WW2 .
Good documentary - but they should be using the nations flag on the battle plans to make it easier to understand...not colors that don't mean anything
Thing is, a lot of battles in WW2 involved multinational troops. Just as an example, if anyone has seen the movie "The Battle of Britain", at the end of the movie it lists a breakdown of the nationalities of the pilots involved. And no, they weren't all British. In fact 15 other nations also participated. And that wasn't a singuar event. Battle of the Bulge didn;t involve just Americans, but also British and Canadians. Easier to have a neutral display.
You fight under the color of your flag...period - irrespective of what nationality your are.@@lisahesslink2267
@lisahesslink2267
But in the Battle of Britain the air force was singular. The Royal Air Force. There weren't other air forces and non British planes involved. 80% of the pilots and 100% of the planes, radar stations and ground spotters were British.
Ah, goodnight y'all!
*The commercial at **05:00** is annoyingly loud!*
What commercial?
"When the Soviet Union entered the war..." When the Soviet Union changed sides is a the correct statement.
Not really
Let me guess, free ukriane too? Dull.
The Battle For Britain was won cause of just about everyone in the country was involved and believed in the leadership. I think history if it changed just a few variables would of worked for the worst. Like at the same time you have this leader who brought Germany out of the impossible. Got the whole country involved as well. Kn one hand you have a powerful navy with U-Boats ripping out your guts, and the other hand you got this lunatic controlling, or trying to control. Imagine being a Field Marshal or decorated General, and this corporal from Austria telling you that you are wrong, and you know you are right.
Look at russia today it's the same thing without the camps
I think the battle of Britain was a draw. The nazis could of used those fighter planes more importantly those dead and captured airmen in Russia
Battle for Britain was won by Germany. How can we tell? Because England kept calling the US for help.
@@deneshbhaskar8650 It wasn't a draw because Germany didn't achieve air superiority. They failed.
The Battle of Britain was to compel Britain to sue for peace. And/or invading Britain itself.
The parade of German prisoners in Moscow had nothing to do with Stalingrad. The parade was held after the success of Operation Bagration, which was in 1944. The sequence of events in this documentary is sometimes mistaken..
Very true .
Interesting stories. It would be better to have some text labels on the map: towns, rivers, etc.
👍👍👍!!!
History hit hands down has the best ww1 and ww2 documentaries
Tora, Tora, Tora were the codewords spoken by Genda as he was flying over Pearl Harbor. They indicated that surprise had been achieved.
The words that started everything were "Climb Mount Niitaka."
Stalingrad, Kursk and Bagration decided how the Europen war would end. On land anyway.
The loss of 40000 Allied lives @ Monte Casino battle , that went on for nearly 6 mo's. was more than 1/2 of wat McArthur lost in nearly his whole campaign in the PTO , not to denigrate the grim struggled in the PTO.
Not a soft underbelly. :-/
Why is it that Ive never heard of the battle of Monte Casino until today? I know all the main points of this war, studied Stalingrad, Moscow, etc. It sees like this battle is never discussed.
To be fair, the battle of Monte Casino can't even be said in the same sentence as. Stalingrad. 40,000 allied lives? really? It's tough to even care when Stalingrad alone saw the death of over a million on each side, not to mention the million lost over the entire eastern front. In general, most of the fighting was done on the eastern front, so a smaller battle on the less significant, western front is not necessarily going to make it into a curriculum that doesn't even have enough time to fully cover the battles that truly changed the course of the war and world history.@@bunjijumper5345
Monte Cassino is typical day on the Eastern front.
@@user-nr5tp2jo3u Every minute of the day on the Eastern/ Russian front ,vwhere my mom's pop was kia . He was a major in the 2nd Waffen SS "DAS REICH " Panzer Grenadier Div . .Her POP was kia in the Battle for Kursk mid -July 1943.
Wish they wouldn't have included the little war games table with those two guys and their ridiculous expressions moving little colored pieces around the table. It added absolutely nothing to the show when they first started using that.
I was just thinking that myself. Why did they do that? No contour lines on the land maps... no discussion. Weird and boring.
@16:13 lmao that guy is such a troll redt in peace soldiers 🙏🕊️
The fact the Japanese bayoneted the head of a surrendering army is one of the many reasons why the fury unleashed on Japan by the US should of been 100x worse. These people were barbaric.

@@Tokyocitizens The Americans were not even close to as cruel, they weren't conducting vivisection on live pregnant women for example.

Anyone else think that the historian Dr. Stahel looks A LOT like James Rolfe from AVGN? It's all I can think when he's on screen lol.
No. Every war is a defeat. Just one side loses the most.
After ww2 the US was much better off than it was before the war .
WW2 ended the 1930s great depression .
@@Crashed131963 yeah, but the US lost its freedom in exchange. The Military Industrial Complex (MIC) emerged thanks to WW2. The non-interventionalist tendency it people had before the conflict dissappeared and the US became the official rival to the USSR for global influence. The MIC gained more influence over american politics, with a world war budget that never deflated after being scaled to that proportion for 'emergency and temporary' measures in order to win the war. I'd argue the US lost more than many, whilst not in lives. Again, there are no victors in war. Only lesser losers.
Победа и только победа СССР 💪👍👍👍👍
the pronounciation of Nijmegen was unforgivable
Yeah, but then again: even Auschwitz isn’t actually pronounced “Auschwitz”; It’s “Oświęcim” in Polish. Butchering names and places is something that is almost inevitable: You can’t expect people to pronounce everything correctly, even though it would show more respect.
@@kristofvandycke6687 Didn't mean to make any sort of serious claim with that, and not really implying any sort of disrespect on the part of the video producer. Just thought it was funny that the narrator would have never heard that word pronounced out loud before, if anybody has ever watched A Bridge Too Far or even Band of Brothers they would know.
I always wondered why the Germans basically drove right at Stalingrad….. why not cross the Volga north and south of the city , then cut off the supply lines.Just starve them out.Any ideas/ opinions?
Why he didn't just quit while he was ahead. He invaded a few countries and the league of nations didn't do $hit in the beginning. No one wanted another World war but he already decided long time ago that he was going to continue to push his luck and see where it takes him 😢
The Volga was a considerable obstacle to be crossing at thte end of a VERY precarious supply line, and the terrain east of the river at that point is marshland for hundreds of miles. The Soviets held the only road leading to Stalingrad from the east, the rest being impassible, like the Pripet marshes in Byelorussia / Ukraine.
@@blackmamba___ Do you think the allies would just let him quietly consolidate what the nazis had conquered? From 1943 onwards the nazis were fighting defensively on all fronts.
Anyone who lived and died during that time and era m..would never be the same ,even after the artillery FELL silent...
After watching more than a hundred ww2 videos I'm just now learning Singapore was involved.
Then I suggest you are American
I’m an American and I laughed at both of these comments. Because you are not an American,you think you have know more and suffered more, think again. On the bottom we’re all the same.@@terryzanger7152
"During operation Uranus they were manouvering in his rear" Ay yo..
11:21 those German troops being shown were from Army Group Center captured in the summer of 1944 Why not show the footage of the actual prisoners taken after the fall of the 6th Army at Stalingrad?
At 1:06 is a description of the Winter War between Russia (Soviet Union) and Finland. The Russians lined their tanks up along roads which made them extremely vulnerable to lightly armed ski troops who decimated the Russian tank forces. The Finns called it "mutti," stacking up wood in the forest, except the wood was dead Russian soldiers. Much the same thing happened during Russia's invasion of Ukraine where the tanks were allowed to form a traffic jam on the road to Kiev. You would think that by now the Russian generals would know that tanks without flanking infantry support are highly vulnerable to ambush from enfilading fire from foot soldiers. This is basic soldiering which in this age of drone attacks is more important than ever.
How can "lightly armed" troops of any kind "decimate" armoured vehicles? Did they take their skis off and smash the tanks up with them? Your reading is so shallow, you don't even know that they had no AT really, apart from a really good, but impractical AT rifle and improvised devices like molotov cocktails and sticky bombs, right?
Do you think you can just send it with ski troops straight into stalled armoured columns, because the machine guns on those tanks would make mincemeat out of them, which was why the Finnish troops never did that. It was instead like a snowy Vietnam where the Finnish troops used hit and run tactics or always stayed very well hidden, and that was what stalled the Red army, which is not the Russian army, you seem to be confused like the Americans are about that.
Do you think that by Operation Bagration or when they took Berlin, something the Allies could not do, that they had the same problems, or that they were not by then experts in deep penetration into enemy territory, because they were and had the equipment for it, unlike in the Winter war, when they were also so badly purged since 1938, they basically did not have officers, right, because most historians say that about the Red army of the Winter EWar to account for that, as opposed to your "theory" (sic) that they still do not know about battle formations like column and line to this day somehow.
So you are also wrong that the Red army and later Russian army never could do that. Why the stalled operation outside of Kiev was such a travesty to Russian doctrine was that they have trained in Ukraine for many decades and know the land exactly, every single road and track from their old Warsaw Pact maps. They also have extensive vehicles and tanks that can operate off-road and can even be amphibious, because of how bad the Russian and Ukrainian roads are.
You can't get a factoid from this while watching it, then add that to some news you saw last year and then try to mash them together into some sort of inexpert opinion about weapons and tactics like that, since you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
Columns on roads always get "flanked" as you mangle it, that has been happening since the 18th Century and was why back then there is column formation for faster travel on road and a broad formation to engage the enemy.
Drones do not make that even more the case, word salad; now go and read a book and stop wasting people's time on your tenuous fairy stories. However, it was the Russians who used drones first since 2014, that is why the trenches there are covered, because the Russians were using drones to drop grenades into them. It was a new tactic then, if you could read you would know that and not blunder so easily into that counterfactual either.
Rant much??

“Operation Uranus meant to trap the Germans.” - 🤤 😋
At 7:15 he said that the Germans in the Stalingrad pocket burned all of their resources including their food. That obviously never happened. The soldiers were starving within a couple weeks of the encirclement. They weren't clueless morons, and they certainly wouldn't have destroyed the very small amount of food that they had. Where do they get these commentators?
The germans destroyed a lot of their supplies during the retreat. I've read about it in multiple different memoirs of German soldiers who were actually there.
Did you khnow how people suffer in temperature-30?
More that from hunger.

37:00 is the literal definition of awakened a sleeping Giant. There was no way Japan would of won this war in the long run, even if nukes weren't used. More peoole would of perished on both sides though because Japan would of literally fought to the last man, woman and child.
Japan and Germany had their own nuclear programs but didn't care much about them luckily
We could have blockaded Japan into surrender. Incinerating tens of thousands of non-combatants with nuclear weapons was pointless.
@@yankeedoodle1963, you are absolutely right. The Japanese expressed their readiness to surrender immediately after the USSR entered the war, because they were well aware that they could not fight on two fronts. This is indicated by archival documents. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is just the first act of the Cold War. Japan was on its last legs, nuclear bombing was not required to force it to surrender, the United States simply needed to demonstrate its new weapons to the USSR. Roosevelt, if he were alive, would not have done this.
Вы абсолютно правы. Японцы выразили готовность сдаться сразу же после вступления СССР в войну, потому что прекрасно осознавали, что не могут воевать на два фронта. Об этом говорят архивные документы. Бомбёжка Хиросимы и Нагасаки - это просто первый акт "холодной войны". Япония была на последнем издыхании, чтоб заставить её сдаться ядерных бомбардировок не требовалось, США просто было нужно продемонстрировать СССР своё новое оружие. Рузвельт, если бы был жив, этого бы не сделал.
@@DmitryTihomirow So why didn't Japan surrender before the bombings - since archival documents show they were warned ahead of time? And then why didn't they immediately surrender after Hiroshima bombing?
@@yankeedoodle1963 Mass starvation of tens of millions is not a preferable alternative to incinerating tens of thousands of non-combatants.
