My great grandpa just so happens to be one of the very few WWII veterans that are still alive to this day.
I swear on the Bible with this. Every fact he said, I already knew along with the start of the idea and the final result. Watching and studying WW2 takes up about 90% of my week.
that's awesome, there is a lot of fact that i just knew from this video.
@@Divest4Bella that must be depressing
_90% of your week??_ WOW. Do you study history, is it your free-time activity, or a part of your job? Or none of the mentioned? I would love to know, if you don´t mind me asking.
@@nikollevaiova1673 the first two, yes, but I work at a production company and they allow us to wear headphones, so I listen to documentaries while I work.
@@reyganbriggs6785 I do the same thing at work, but I listen to astronomy
My favorite bit of trivia about The Miracle at Dunkirk is that one of the civilians who participated was Herbert Lightoller, who'd been second officer on the Titanic.
Jesus loves you all
Now THAT’S a cool fact. Thanks.
Hess was not “sent†to Scotland he went on his own accord without Hitler’s knowledge to try and negotiate a peace and was arrested
Thank you!
Glad someone else caught that, huge difference!!
Hess had a mental problem I think ,correct me if I am not correct
It seems he had certain weird ideas.
A man with some good history
@@officalpbankzy509 He was born in Alexandria in Egypt, studied occultisn for real, knew various mysticists and magician groups like The Golden Dawn and many authors are linking his occult contacts with an attempt to jump down to Golden Dawn member Lord Hamilton or who was it. He probably knew or met weird people of the century like Crowley. Hess wasn't bright studied astrology and shocked his staff by hours of watching a chair in attempt to learn tekekinesis. But he lost importance in the regime and then tried to be a big hero. I have met his family in Czechoslovak and Germany. It was also an experience.
My grandpa served in Japan
I have his diary, patches, medals, and a Japanese sword he brought back..
He never told me how he got it
but I'm sure it wasn't pretty..
he probably gave someone the one-two
yesssss the sword had blood on it once i can tell
Bruh that’s sweet. 🤙ðŸ»
My grandfather has a Japanese rifle. His father got it WWII.
@@dreamingclouddreams2981 what rifle is it?
Very good videos, I like that I can go to sleep listening, the cartoon visuals are great but these facts are told so well I can just listen.
Thanx for some interesting information about a part of history.

We need to always remember WWII, not just to honor the people who lost their lives, but to ensure these things can never happen again.
@EightFootSativa amen, China’s about to have another century of humiliation if they don’t pipe down
@EightFootSativa its in our blood
I wish we learned from our mistakes..
It sadly still does a bit in China,by they own camps.
Too much overpopulation sadly 😥
Not gonna lie the villain kinda got a point
This channel has the best narrator,visuals, and music. Fantastic production!
I was here I love your vids keep it up!

This video is so good. Incredible work
I swear this narrator is probably the best in the business! I loved his challenge videos!
Absolutely exceptional piece. Well done man! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Huge fan here. Love what y'all do. Keep up the great work!! This narrator is my fav one. I like him better than the others. Js. But no matter who is narrating its always a great show. Shout out to the others who narrate 😆💪🙂
It’s amazing how similar some events of the past are to current events. And it’s depressing that lessons weren’t learned, and pain and suffering are still continuing all these years later 😞
Boomer.
@@GeneralZap You have got to be blind if you haven’t noticed the situation in Ukraine. That is exactly *like* what Germany did in world war 2. This person is not a boomer at all. Russia didn’t learn their lesson from the past as you can see (or rather Putin).

I would love to watch one about The miracle at Dunkirk
Finally someone who acknowledges the ubiquity of the hooked cross in ancient religion. Most people simply say it was a Hindu symbol pre-WWII
16:41 I literally yelled out "freedom fries" in my best, coherent "they took our jobs" voice at the same time the narrator said "freedom fries"
Infographics: Good job and well done. I couldn't not say it any better than awesome Infographics real historian facts. As a historian. I still learning despite my grey age. I am no spring chick. My brains still alive & well.
Thank you, now I know everything about WW2.
I can count on infographics show to teach great job ðŸ‘
you are being sarcastic? right?
Idk if ww2 was the largest war, cause me and my girl have gotten into some pretty big fights
Cap
The detonation of atom bomb was similar to a divine weapon called Bramhastra mentioned in the Hindu epic Mahabharata!!! And Openhimer quoted the line from Bhagvad Gita...the description of Bramhastra is exactly similar to tht of a nuke!!!
Possibly Oppenheimer knew this and hence his quote.
@@raylopez99 Well, he definitely did . But the point of this comment is to shed some light on the question: "How the f did they knew what it?" And I agree with it. I mean, it could just be a coincidence, but if it is, then it's a really awkward one. So, yea. Did people 5000 years before the first nuclear bomb knew how one would look like, or did they just imagine something that was very similar to a nuke? If you were to ask me, I would say, the only thing that one can say with certainty about it, I have absolutely no f-ing idea.
One love â¤ï¸
P.S. If you are sure about one or the other, please tell me why and give me the empirical evidence, cuz I have genuine interest about it. Thanks in advance.
@@boyankovachev7982 They definitely haven´t seen a nuke explosion, but possibilities are strong volcanic explosion or fallen meteor
@@tomasdavid7829 Geeeez, kid. Ya haven't read the passage, have you? Like, dude, read it first. I'm an atheist and a science boi and that's why I can't be so sure. Many scientists also just say that they ain't sure, so yea. Read it first, please, don't talk things, just because you think like that. That is how conspiracy theories start.

@@boyankovachev7982 he came up with the concept of a wepaon that showed holy powers 🔋
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!
From this video, I learned that Condoleeza Rice’s diplomatic career began in 1930’s Europe, that both Charles Lindbergh and the British RAF flew the Soviet made Polikarpov I-16, and France did not join WW2 until they were invaded in 1940. Got it!!!

Lol @ the Joe Rogan experience knock at the beginning of the video, as well as the Charles Lindbergh celebrity president reference. Great source of information nonetheless!
huh? joe rogan?
They didn't shock me I'm filing a lawsuit now for false advertising
50 Common Facts of WW2 is the title outside of the United States.
I disagree that this video was a waste of time, however I am a bit surprised that the content creator considers these "50 Insane World War 2 Facts That Will Shock..." when most of them are common knowledge.
Except the 1st US soldier died, yes.
@@annasolovyeva1013 ??
@@ec6052 i didn't know about that. Nor am i interested
50 Common Facts Of WW2 is the title literally everywhere
They didn't cross the Majino line they went round it.
I was hoping someone would point that out.

Thank you bruv
20:38 The CN Tower and the Montreal Olympic stadium weren't built till 30 years after WW2. The Ice Hotel (lower left) didn't came into existence till 2001
not gonna lie, thinking about it now, Operation Barbarossa makes me feel like we're in a parallel universe. Like, wasn't it such a dumb idea to open up another front when you're still struggling with the UK? This and japan's attack. Just feels like there were other more important things that required both of their attentions.
If I remember correctly, Germany was quite short on fuel reserves, meanwhile Russia had a vast supply and refineries and reserves
That’s what greed and delusions of world conquest does to the decision making process bro. Ur dealing with a narcissistic psychopath 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
Operation Barbarossa was a desperate move from German side... They attacked Soviet with the hope of gaining it's resources to fuel their continuous war effort...
I knew all about Rudolf Hess before.
Love the 45th IBCT recognition! 🙌ðŸ¼
Please do a video Hideki tojo of Japan
I loved the video from the start
If you see this comment I hope you are blessed beyond your limitsðŸ™ðŸ˜ŽðŸ’š
Keep well everyone💥
Japanese Americans were locked up on the west coast in Interment Camps which is viewed today as a shameful mistake.
This is neat!
My great grandpa died in WW2. He was in a German prison camp when it happened. It's really sad.
He fell out of the watchtower...
these jokes can be funny with the right delivery, but this was just poorly constructed
@@memelephant Aww. You poor thing. That joke offended you and you just had to let everyone know. You'll be fine. It was constructed just fine as well and gets laughs. Take your offense somewhere else please, we're all trying to have a good time
Did they not have guard rails on those things?
@@user-sz2px8pv3f Who is offended? Guinea pig guy was right. Poorly thought out.
@@socialmediaaccount404 Make that 2 offended boys! On a roll now.
Couldn't help but think that history seems to be repeating itself during this video
austin powers reference. solid :)
After a very long day… this helps
Fun Fact: After World War I France built a wall to keep out Germany. However, they didn't wall off Belgium, which was the country Germany pushed through during World War I.

Around 25:25,
Nice. Great image of a Zumwalt class destroyer from the WW2 era...DA
That ain’t even the Zumwalt my guy
John Wayne didn't like he couldn't fight with the soldiers, so he did his damnest to portray them honorably in every war movie he did both during and after the war. He did this so well he's considered an honoree member of the Green Berets. Wayne was a Patriot and did everything he could for them. It's one of the reasons he's so legendary.
Might shock someone who doesn't know basics of WWII.
You should have added the Horton HIX flying wing.
Interesting video. enjoyable series. Please revise the text/voice over on point 29 about the Blitz. The blitz attacked cities across the United Kingosw, not just England. Swansaea Barry and Cardiff were all attacked,a s theses wer significant ports in tne UK at the times
True! Liverpool had the second most tonnes of bombs dropped on it as it was the northern powerhouse and port at the time. The city was pretty much completely flattened. Before and after pics would make you think a nuke was dropped
11:05 Kayne stares in silence💀
I Learned a lot of these at school
What softwares do they use
Anyone else notice the PUBG music around 12:00 ? Very slightly altered but definitely the same base audio
Thats a pretty nice Mannerheim pictured on there buddy.
Please tell us how do u animate?
I think the most shocking thing I learned from learning about WW2 was how prevalent perventin ( I think that’s how to spell it )aka amphetamines was used by Germany and the Allies.
That was the most shocking thing? Lol ok 😊
*disclaimer! It is a brief chronological history of WW2, mostly centered around Germany.
With at least one major error:
Rudolph Hess wasn't sent to the UK, he went on his own (likely in a fit of mania, though he's never been formally diagnosed as bi-polar).
And US.
For number 32 is wrong. Three Stooges was first with "You Nazty Spy" in Jan 1940 (nine months before Chaplin's movie). Lots of articles setting record straight even their children or grandchildren of the Three Stooges said their fathers/grandfathers said three Stooges were first. I didn't know it too.
Awesome 😎 wow
Yes
He said Joseph Gobbles 😆
Ah yes I think I’ll go and get a liberty steak
It must’ve been hard for the animator to draw the Swatstica(please excuse my spelling) for the video because it’s so infamous.
Why would it be unless they were a Jew or someone in a concentration camp in world war 2?
War train: *exists*
Enmu: It's free real estate
"Everyone knows about ww2"
Yeah. No cap.
Youd be surprised
Not exactly the same but some people refuse to believe the holocaust happened
@@jackrogers9660 I'm always sad to be reminded that. But fools(ain't using a stronger word, cuz of YT's rules, but imagine that I did) will always exist and will believe in conspiracy theories to make themselves feel better. Not only about this, but about many things. So, yea. Don't forget that believing in conspiracy theories gets you on the same level as those people. Please do research and believe science, cuz that's the way we can prove things. And an opinion based on science and one based on conspiracy theories ain't equal, one has evidence and things to prove it and the other one just imagine things.

One fact- if I am not mistaken during Leningrad besiege 26 people died of starvation who had complete access and permission to food store
Why?
@@alexk6343 they're hungry

The two nuclear bombs were named Fat man and Little boy.
So in 1985? Harley Davidson released a motorcycle named the Fat Boy, giving the Japan the finger. Silver and yellow too, same colours as one of the bombs.
Nice people.
Christopher lee is actually the man james bond was based on
No he wasn't.
@@Troy_Built yes he is, Christopher Lee and Ian Fleming are step-cousins, christopher lee served in the RAF in an intelligence capacity in WWII, and did work with the SOE.
it's not exactly a secret (amusingly lee also played one of the most famous villains in the Bond series as well)
So much for shocking facts. I knew every single oneðŸ˜
And all the inaccuracies? Genius...
Okay name all of the inaccuracies if you know all of these facts.
During WW2, Peterhead in North East Scotland had the highest concentration of bombing by population density, second only to London!
“You don’t know all about the warâ€. spy’s “ima bout to end this man’s whole careerâ€
25:10 #4: Japan just claimed at least some of those islands again in response to the war in Ukraine.
They have always claimed those islands, the only thing is they started talking again about it. Reasom why Japan wants them is because its Russia's only safe ruote to the pacific. But Japan doesnt have right to those islands anymore, all japanese people got deported or killed and now only russian ukranian and belorussian people live there.
These facts would only shock people who have zero knowledge of history beyond what they learned in elementary school.
where I come from they didn't teach us anything about WW2.
Wtf that Harvard one got me 😵â€ðŸ’«

You forgot to mention that British airspace was actually saved by pilots from Czechoslovakia, even through betray they fought for British, after the war they have announced as heroes, than imprisoned by communists and most of them died in uranium mining labour camps, or other inhuman prisons
@@BritJim No I am just stating more interesting fact about WW2 also friend of a traitor is traitor aswell :) also most of the ACES in RAF during WW2 were czechoslovaks so yeah you can say they are reason British did not loose the air battle
I realise that I was educated in England, and none of this is shocking.
Woodruff didn't do the supply of Coca-Cola as a gesture of patritic faith. There was a sugar ration in place which hurt alot of cola companies at that time. Woodruff convinced the goverment to exempt him from the sugar ration, in exchange for supplying the troops with Coca Cola.
I've studied WW1 and 2 extensively, this was a great history lesson for those that don't know anything about what happened. History is repeating itself. Russia has been preparing for war in Europe for YEARS, Crimea was a test the world failed miserably.
If you have "studied extensively" you should have noticed the straight up wrong information given multiple times throughout the video. As previously stated by @shapedjarl2644 as well as myself.
Also, in reference to Hollywood stars who served in WW 2, It was HENRY Fonda, not Peter.
Fun fact during pearl harbor Japan probably could have destroyed the fleet (other than aircraft carriers) but when the emperor was told that they diddent declare war first he called it off out of shame.
I would need a source for that. It sounds a bit sussy.
Totally untrue the IJN fleet involved was not in direct contact with mainland Japan, radio signals just don't travel that far on their own. I hate to break it to you but there were no satellites to bounce the signal off and no relay stations between Pearl and Japan they could have used, ships radios of that time could not reliably manage more than around 60 miles to another ground station ( about 120 miles to a high altitude transceiver on an aircraft). Admiral Yamamoto's primary reason for not sending in further attacks was to safeguard his fleet, he had expected to find the American carriers at Pearl ( they were among the primary targets around which the attack was planned) not knowing where they were and not wanting to stay in one place long enough for them or subs operating out of Pearl to find and sink them he decided to withdraw believing that he had achieved most of the purpose behind the attacks.
​@@yanmay9824 ok well i guess pearl harbor was lying? because i definetly read that in the museum there.
