Love to see sinking HMS ships!
If you put it a 200% speed it's watchable
Magnífica descripción de esa batalla naval, enhorabuena por el trabajo desde España
Music is hilarious! Why do you put those pictures under the music? Incredible.
Lose the music. Plz.
I like your videos very much. But I prefer them without the music. Just some simple narrative to explain the story. I me, this is very refreshing and allow one's mind to focus on the topic being shown. Unlike most other videos that try to overwhelm the senses with noise and "Wow". Your natural speaking voice is clear and calm. Please keep your great videos lean and clean.
The sinking of British aircraft carrier, HMS Glorious, is the greatest victory of German battle cruisers ending the era of big gun ship by sinking the carrier that will dominate naval warfare till today...2023.
Better than going to kill more than ten thousand troops in the bigger convoys.
Moreover, Tirpitz was the most successful battleship in WW2....
Only just still there...the British's aircraft carriers and battleships had no where to go but waiting for Tirpitz ...years...and ...years.
In my opinion this is not the complete story. I saw another youtube- vid in which was told the whole truth - which was top- secret until now. The video said the following:
The captain of GLORIOUS was a highly decorated veteran of WW1 and was eager to repeat his success in WW2, but now as commander of a big aircraft- carrier. This resulted in a heavy conflict with his flying squad. He therefore hurried back to England in order to put his flying- squad in front of a military- court. Therefore the minimal escort of only 2 destroyers and therefore no planes in the air as a recoinassance. The example of the US- carriers in the asian- battlefield shows that an aircraft-carrier can defend itself successfully against heavy enemies when using his resources( planes and speed) to full extend.
But it remains a secret, why GLORIOUS was not ready to use its full engine- power.
A lot of inaccuricies here
You say the British destroyer opened fire first on the Scharnhorst with it's 4.7 inch guns( max range c16,00 yards)! the Scharnhorst opened fire first at 27,000 yards and scored one of the longest ever shell hits on the Glorious with it's 11 inch guns (26,500 yards)
That is NOT inaccurate. Ardent was detached by D'Oyly Hughes (Capt of Glorious) to investigate smoke that had been spotted on the horizon. Ardent as she closed on the source of the smoke, flashed a recognition signal to the unknown ships and on receiving no reply realised that they were enemy, she immediately opened fire with her 4.7 inch guns and did indeed achieve one hit on Scharnhorst before being blasted by Scharnhorst's secondary guns and sunk. The hits on Glorious were subsequent to these events.
Animation WAY TOO SLOW to hold interest.
The captain who was a ex submarine captain and thought like one was not up to the job.
No plane in the air, no planes ready to take off, no one the crow's nest which is much higher than the destroyers crows nest and would have given them extra valuable time, as the Germans had spotted then well before they spotted the Germans, but the Germans were nervous for a time and didn't rush in to attack because they were unsure in what they were dealing with, there could be battleships bringing up the rear, for a aircraft carrier with poor protection didn't look quite right to the Germans at first, but most of all having several boilers not operating, a crazy fatal mistake as she was a fast ex light cruiser and had they the steam up she could have escaped.
The destroyers as brave as they were also made a mistake in not attacking together, that would have divided the Germans firepower and worried them much more and perhaps effected there big guns aim that were shooting at the Glorious as they maybe doged torpedoes.
Also had the flight deck not been hit so soon, it was the longest hit ever recorded, planes could have got in to the air, now that would have made it interesting
The destroyers did not make a mistake. HMS Ardent alone was detached by D'Oyly Hughes to investigate smoke that had been spotted on the horizon, and on approaching the unknown ships, flashed a recognition signal, to which she received no repsonse. She then opened fire with her 4.7 in main armament and achieved one hit on Scharnhorst, but was herself then riddle with return fire from Scharnhorst's secondary batteries.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 The battle went on for some time a few miles out, (Long shot to flight deck was I think over 14 miles out) the destroyers in that time never made a effort to divide the battecrusers firepower as the made their runs at them, so with just one destroyer charging, all of the secondary (6"and 4" ) guns of the 2 Germany ships would be directed at that one destroyer (The German ships fired 100s of shells) , but considering what they were up against that tactic error probably would have made no difference, unless that long range shot that put a end to efforts to get aircraft in to the sky was effected somehow by having of 2 destroyer attacking at the same time, firing their torpedoes and the big ships then having to take avoiding action, bit of a 'long shot" though!
@@gerrywhelan5761 Gerry, the situation was that none of the RN ships in the Norwegian sea had any information regarding the sortie of the 2 German battlecruisers due to British sigint being ignored by the Admiralty. Ardent was sent alone to investigate smoke on the horizon from an unknown source, and was confronted with the sight of the 2 battlecruisers/ships closing at high speed, Apart from transmitting a radio alert to Glorious / Acasta what could Ardent do in that situation? Turn tail and wait for Acasta to join her from several miles away, while at the same time leading the German ships implacably closer in Glorious? Or take evasive maneouvres, lay down a smokescreen, and attempt to lead the German ships away from her charge (Glorious) whilst engaging them with her popguns. The seamanship of the 2 destroyer captains involved must have been of the highest order, seeing as (and not for the first time.... see HMS Glowworm) their handling of hopeless odds was applauded by the Kriegmarine admiral who was facing them.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 There was incredible bravely shown by the captains and crew of the 2 destroyers on that day, on that there is no doubt, a feat more people should know about, and "all" their families should have been presented with some kind of award/medal or something for them showing such bravery, like one of the destroyers was still firing its last operating gun as it was sinking, that made a hugh impression on the Germans.
But the Acdent did retreat under gun fire after the first encounter with the 2 big ships, and managed to lay down a very important smoke screen, it later came out on its own from that dispersing smoke screen and charged the 2 big ships, done some damage to them, but was sunk, but that sinking was around a hour after the first encounter with the big ships, so the destroyers were busy for a time trying to hide the aircraft carrier with a smoke screen, that caused the German ships to lose sight of the aircraft carrier for nearly a hour, but in the end they couldn't keep it up, and the rest is history.
@@gerrywhelan5761 I know the course of the battle Gerry, thats what I've been explaining to you. There was no shortage of error and poor decisions made by the admiralty in the run up to and during the encounter, but from my reading of various books on the matter over the years, I've never once read criticism of the two destroyer captains. The long range hit of Scharnhorst on Glorious is what finally sealed her fate. As well as holing her flight deck it also damaged one of her boilers, and slowed down her acceleration in trying to escape from the Germans... Glorious was a VERY fast ship (1 knot faster than the Germans), and while a 1 knot speed advantage is far from decisive, if she could have built up pressure in her offline boilers while the destroyers lay their smokescreen and loosed off their torpedo salvoes, there was a reasonable chance of Glorious disengaging.
