Great work, keep it up. Wonder what other military operations might feature in Bird’s Eye View
I can't believe this channel doesn't get more views. YouTube is definitely down ranking.
nice
The entire D-Day mission sounds like an over-the-top plot from a war-thriller novel, yet it actually happened. Not just the mind boggling logistics of the invasion (even bringing their own harbour!) but all that went on before, the remarkable breaking of an "unbreakable" coding machine, the many secret night-time beach visits by special forces to determine which would be right for tanks and infantry, the unbelievably risky operations of the Resistance in Occupied France, none of them knowing exactly what would happen or when, but carrying out those missions regardless, because they knew it would count in the end. The ingenuity and courage shown by them all is beyond humbling.
I feel like I’m watching a old flash game, it such a interesting design for units moving around.
Way to make me nostalgic for flash games
I love these Bird's Eye View videos!
Where is Michael Wittman ?
Sounds pretty routine for the EDD this week, and kinda nice to know that the 2nd DD cocoon also popped up quick for ya
Hey could you do a video on the war of 1812 from the British perspective?
2:43
i was today years old when i realized that the reason its called "normandy" is because its the part of france where the normans lived.
!!!
SS Panzer Officer : My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle : Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost : Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle : We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer : [confused] What?
10:17 I can’t be the only one who thinks that unit patch looks like the faze logo
great video
I am Prussian, my great grandfather was at Gold beach. Got captured by the Poles/Brits or Canadians. SS panzer divisions were plentiful in the British landing
German perspective remake?
Major mistake at 13:04. “125th Grenadier Division” you use the symbol of the 25th Panzer Division, which wasn’t involved at Normandy. There was no 125th Panzer Division. Probably you mistook the 125. Panzer Grenadier REGIMENT (part of the 21st Panzer Division).
Great video! Look forward to you covering the Canadian landings at Juno beach. On a side note: the list of contributors at the end of the videos are getting so long now. Are those all Armchair History Full-time employees?
yes.
Finally!
I definitely say these seem to be an improvement over your other D-Day videos. More accurate. Keep up on the improvements!
our pals the brits had it EASY on D-DAY
💪💪💪💪
Another fascinating video!!! Looking forward to the next one.
Do Operation Market Garden from the German perspective
Bro make subtitles in Russian please!!!!
Highly recommend reading pegasus bridge by Steven Ambrose
Lastly D-Day from a Canadian's perspective
D-Day is like the ultimate answer to the evacuation of dunkirk for the british
Skip to 2:32
WOOOO 387TH COMMENT HELL YES
good vid
Excellent, you should also post an episode about the contributions of the Polish AirForce especially in liberating England, I think it was the battle of midway
Hello Mr Armchair Historian! I am a big fan of your videos, especially the ones about Greece. Now I would like to make an offtopic suggestion; Do you know the popular mod for Hearts of iron 4 called The New Order Last Days Of Europe? Well it's a scenario where the Axis won the war and in 1962 a Cold War between the USA, Japan and Germany is in full swing. There are many topics you can present us like the power vacuum after Hitler dies, the Russian Anarchy and the many unique unifiers, the South African War between South Africa and the German colonies, the West African War between the remnants of Free France under De Gaulle and Pan Africanist rebels, and last but not least the various power struggles around the world! I know that you focus on real life history but I think it would be very popular in the alternative history communities so I hope that you hear my humble request and make some videos about the mod! Thank you for reading this comment!
British perspective , RUN Dunkirk, bir haikem 🏃🏃🏃🏳️
Legends say that a man by the name of Bill Millin marched through sword beach with a pair of bagpipes, and survived the entire ordeal.
Please do breakup of Yugoslavia in depth
Can you do a video on the history of Vietnamese uniforms?
10:37
Ayo, why my man the Dido class only shown with single gun turrets, this is a travesty
The CC subtitles post "Caen" as "Khan." 🙄
But the Canadians went further inland
Doesn’t get mentioned much but the entire naval element for all d’day beaches was commanded by a single British admiral, Bertram Ramsay. The planing and coordination of hundreds of ships, including landing craft, troop transports, destroyer escorts and a massive shore bombardment was incredibly complicated.
My great grandfather was a soldier involved in the Dunkirk evacuation, Sicily landing and sword beach landing. After the war he never set foot on a boat ever again.
Starts at 2:28
Really appreciated this second look at DDay, it’s insane to me how seemingly little coverage the British Landings get.
Could you guys do a video about the siege at Tobruk? It’s a real source of pride for many Australians and the details of that campaign are pretty interesting.
