  19. Stop calling it "Blitzkrieg" like some British Boomer.

    It's manouver warfare (Bevegungs Krieg). The German military literature and officers of the time call it that.

  23. Hello
    Barbarossa the biggest logistical disaster in history of war fair .German high command had the best tactical and strategic in military but worst logistical planing and that’s what lost them the war and it was obvious 4 months in to the advance by October 41 the war was lost people think it was lost after Stalingrad but when you lose 20% or more of your troops and equipment in the first winter it’s already over as we all know they never came back to the point where there were by beginning of winter 41 and simply you lost the war right there
    Cheers

  31. An excellent video! I'd love so see one that traced the history of the latter war with 4th and 5th Calvary Brigades. Infomation on these are pretty scarce. I've only found a couple of books on that subect, through all my digging over the yeats, and would like to know more. For instance how Calvary Group Hartenek nearly killed Hitler in March of '43, but von Kluge (Cleaver hands), chickened out. Would make for interesting viewing. It already makes fo interestoing reading..Also a special episode on the 18th Panzergrenadier division. The unit that was probably destroyed the most of Das Heer, and the entire Wehrmacht in the entire wat, inclusing rhe Battle for Berlin.

  38. What are the Comanche and Apache in the Sioux America is still lost the warrior cultures under a command of a white Commander harassing the attack of the Germans supply lines define the same fighting style with better supplies and better weapons that their ancestors did during the Indian wars against the Germans that would be something why would it hurt to Germans so much I think operation Harpy is to hit them really hard and really fast starving the amount of supplies slave labor and loot they don't have them three things for German war effort pretty much would go and falter they would die much quicker the thing is if the Allies Target the final solution in the death camps for more aggressively and they have ability to launch special operations behind Nazi lines and you devastated range between against the Nazis the watermelon lasted much Germany would collapse just like the first world war Canon lever action rifles are for much better to the grands and some aspects modified larger caliber of a lever action the sharp sniper rifle what is an old-time lever action rifles the 18 light to 4565 or the 4060 calibers for the lever guns could be pretty deadly pure rate of fire American the same type of native American type of tactics that he used imagined they taught some of the partisans the partisans and them working together would be deadly Commander that the United States army had at the time who would be deadly in these type of tactics he actually grew up at the end of the old west the old west from world war II was in that far away there was still a lot of people who were cowboys still alive don't forget if Billy the kid was still alive he would have been his 90s doing that. And some people doing the slavery. We're still alive by the by that time could you imagine using old western native American tactics and US ranger a Comanche tactics against the Germans in world war II would be very interesting and I think that would have hurt the Germans badly really prodigy is the beat the Germans in fighting they think they fight a bunch of partisans when they actually fighting a well-trained well-armed counter genocide anti genocide Force armed to the teeth designed to destroy the German mobile death squad units in regular army losing their army in Mobile death squad units you really think they would carry on the final solution I don't think so they might want to give them to war much longer can't get the supplies in the labor false labor and they can't kill Jews what's the point of fighting a war Target their collaborators too

  39. "You beat a dead horse."
    There's something you must know : you can work a horse to death…. unlike the oxen. Oxen when tired they will just stop working and sit where they are, no way to make them restart working even beaten severly. A horse ? Pushed and pushed again will drop dead under you. If you beat a horse, he will go and go on until have a heart attack, etc.
    Buy the way, german horses were not adapted to the Pontic Steppe. Germans tryed to replace their horses with the small sturdy steppe poney far much more endurent.
