I've always wondered what being a bird on D-Day would be like!
All of these years US documentaries often say that British and Canadian did not faced much german resistance. Shame on you American historians.
20:53
holy crap, is that the guy who fought with a bow and bagpipes?
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers!
Have you thought covering things not in WWII?
Maybe do one about how many people Henry Kissinger murdered, cowards.
No no “MERICA must look good” channel won’t allow it.
How many D-day related videos you want to make?
.
Armchair Historian = yes
I really hope the armchair historian might can make a video about the prediction of operation downfall
anything else other than D-day?
Congratulations on getting 2 million subscribers
are we gonna ignore the call of duty 2 inspired thumbnail?
Unfortunately the same mistake about the American DD-Sherman’s at Omaha is repeated again with this video. The 743rd.Battalion landed most of it’s DD’s directly on the beach to help support the 29th Division. All of the 743rd’s regular Sherman’s and Sherman/dozer variants also landed successfully. It’s certainly true that they didn’t contribute as much as hoped for during the early hours of the invasion but once the breakout from the beach began, they proved their worth. The 743rd was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for its actions that day. It’s unfortunate the 743rd is lumped in with the 741st and gets no recognition at all.
To those who say that Armchair historian has done too many videos on d-day, they have made 3 separate videos on the separate nations that stormed the beach, and this one is just all 3 put together. It takes time to make each episode, and I feel like I would prefer the 3 parts released over 3 weeks, than 1 massive one after 3 weeks of waiting. Bravo to the Armchair Historian team for the amazing videos!
Can you please make a video on explaining military tactics such as Blitzkrieg or Deep Battle doctrine
Make a video on iwo jima and okinowa the last few islands before we drive the b29s into the heart of japan.
Six-Day War next?

At Omaha Beach, parts of the Mulberry harbour are still visible, and a few of the beach obstacles remain. A memorial to the U.S. National Guard sits at the location of a former German strongpoint. Pointe de Hoc is little changed from 1944, with the terrain covered with bomb craters and most of the concrete bunkers still in place. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is nearby, in Colleville-sur-Mer. A museum about the Utah landings is located at Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, and there is one dedicated to the activities of the U.S. airmen at Sainte-Mere-Eglise. Two German military cemeteries are located nearby.
Bro might not even know but there was an eastern front in ww2.
This video gave me a lot of information for my D-Day scenario for 6th June.Thank you.
Maybe should been released on the 6th June
Completely different experience for African American soldiers 💀
Thank you for making such quality content.
Cool, next do it from a Soldier perspective.
Amazing documentary. Still chuckled at “Pouppeville”
My grandfather's bomber squadron hit one of the radar stations that might have picked up the approaching fleet in the hours just after midnight. The belly gunner in their plane caught a glimpse of the invasion fleet steaming toward Normandy on their way back, and was teased about his ghost fleet nobody else could see. During the debriefing, the BBC made its announcement of the landing, which was broadcast on the base's PA system. Going by his memoirs, my grandfather was quite grumpy about all the celebrating because his crew was booked for another night mission the very next night and it was too loud to sleep well.
As a Brit, I love that you focused on the importance of the British and Commonwealth efforts on D-Day. America gets a lot of attention thanks to Hollywood and I feel like the other nations involved sometimes get forgotten. Great work as usual 👍
How do you edit this?
Bread
Hopefully we get another one for Operation Dragoon.
A video on the Battle of Caen from the Allied and German perspective would be good 👍
Gotta admit we've had probably 20 D-day videos. Any other battles or politics we could get, not within the last 200 years?
It should be Wiederstandsnest or Wiederstandsneste for plural. Wiederstandsnestern as you keep using is the dative case.
You have made 100 d-dqy. Videos. Make something new
We need a WW1 from Ottoman Empire's perspective ngl
326 BEB>best engineers
You should do a video on Operation Dragoon and the Free French landings in southern France.
The two destroyers that kneaded as near as 800m to the beach were severely underrated.
Their actions may be miniscule but that covering bombardment potentially has saved hundreds, if not thousands of young men from being slaughtered…
If this was a game, this would be a good map for a strategy game
