The world’s worst war would come to its conclusion, as strategic errors and overstretched resources would culminate in the Axis powers facing the Allies on their own turf.

My dad was struck by a Fallschirmjägergewehr 42(FG-42) round in the shoulder during WW2 and a wonderful lady cared for him while he was there. She turned out to be my mother❤️so theoretically If it wasn’t for the FG42 I wouldn’t exist in the first place.
A true saying: those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. May mankind eventually learn how not to make war. Thank you.

All those lives lost because of Nationalism, Racism, Power, and Incompetent leaders who saw it's citizens as expendable. There are still leaders present who very much will follow the recipe towards disaster ie. Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, Alesaandr Lukashenko. We know how their story end by looking at the past.
too bad theredarmy hadn't stumbled on some of their own death camps, because they shared in the murder known as the holocaust, thanks to their papa Joe
And today thanks to various country's leader, like our dementia joe, we look to be moving closer to another one of these disasters.
That is if we ourselves don't start fighting and destroying each other right here at home. A 2nd civil war, or possibly the people against it's government, also seem to be a distinct possibility…?
I just want to say thank you to every veteran and would like to apologize for my generations ignorance for what you have done for us. We take this Nation for granted but I would truly sacrifice my life for you and everyone in this beautiful Nation. I understand my own generations ignorance but we don’t control money or war so If it means to sacrifice my life so my future family can live comfortable I will! 🫡🇺🇸
Don't be fooled, the allies knew about the death camps and had ariel photos way before January '45. They just didn't want to liberate them because it would slow their march to win the war.
The Russians also killed 5 million of their own people during the great purge of the 30's. This is what I don't like about this series is they want you to believe the allies were "righteous" in this fight.
Your face and voice at the beginning is not required ………… please dispose of both …..thanks for your cooperation …………….
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Masks PROTECT YOU and people around you!
SAVE LIVES … GET VACCINATED !!!
Funny how russia and china were our allies in ww2 but now they are our enemies
People forget how easy a war can start. We need to be smart. The EU must include Russia and China bc we have to come together or total devastation will come. Soon !
Watching this cause this is America today under biden
I'll just point out that the worst fighting encountered on Okinawa was done by US army troops. The criminally short sighted CO of Tenth Army Simon Buckner forced his troops to do frontal assaults. Even though he had all the amphibious forces he could want. They could have easily flanked the Japanese defenders by landing troops behind their defensive lines.
They do just that….after Buckner was killed.
A bunch of people continually interrupting the narrative and uttering banalities. Eliminate all the talking and have a 20 minute documentary.
I knew a guy once who served in the navy and he was afraid if water I could imagine what that must have been like for him at sea.
Great doc, but shame you had to end with a Trump Derangement/losing trust in elite institutions angle. The elite institutions have, in 2019, become a lot more like the fascist leaders than the recent wave of "populist" leaders elected. My nation, USA, has become completely sold out to the very same Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned us of in 1960. I believe he knows what he's talking about. If you disagree, ask how our secretary of WAR just cam straight from the Board of Raytheon – UNELECTED. Which is why we are sending $40BB to corrupt Ukraine instead of rescuing our economy from the unecesary shut down.
I read the book, “the truce”. From what I read, the Russians treated the liberated Jews with respect and took them in. Many young Russians served as nurses in the makeshift camps set up to treat them. They even put on Russian style plays for the ex-prisoners to celebrate the end of the war. When prisoners were conscripted for forced labor, they were disheartened by the nature of the ordeal that was reminiscent of their previous situation.The Russians later woke them startled in the early morning to pay them for the work they did, a huge contrast and surprise compared to their previous imprisonment. People, of any regime, are not equivalent to their ruler.
Also, to be clear, that idea of the drunken Russian who was good natured is backed up by historical accounts. The book, “the truce”, details the way the Russians engaged in drunken revelry for months after the war. Even guards would fall asleep with their stein guns while on post.
Sure, the Russians helped defeat the Nazis, but now Putin is making waves. Will mankind ever learn? Unknown.
War is bad yes, but no excuse to drop nuclear bombs, lot empires of that day did bad things including usa
Well America did there best to keep there hand out of the war but when Japan came along and bombed Pearl Harbor we was left with no choice but to get involved from that point on God Bless 🦅🇺🇸
no miss churchill?
The Russians had a giant army.
The true reason Mustangs and other fighter could go deep into Germany, was not just the magic of the Merlin Mustang. Us Air Corp brass allowed fighters to use drop tanks to extend their range. Bomber Generals did not want to admit their Bombers needed fighter escorts . Deny the fighters drop tanks and they cannot do the long range escort mission, thus Bombers have to go all the way, un-escorted. These generals position was that a bomber with enough machine guns could defense itself, if in proper formation. This was the hill they left bomber crews to die on, until the Magic Mustang gave them a way to back down, without career consequences. The Brass chose to save face over saving men under them. The Mustang was an amazing plane but its myth was what allowed it to be used properly late in the war.. The Bomber / Fighter range gaps was a creation of the no drop tank regulation. God bless our service men and women.
Owning a Delorean I am always ask about time travel, "YES I own a flux capacitor" and one intelligent question is.. If in the future you were allowed say 3 times to change the past what would they be? Never developing the atomic bomb would be up there but how about AFTER their use and surrender by Japan? Which one could say, how could it's development be forever stopped?
“You went to war against the American manufacturing machine using horses, it was inevitable it would not end well for you”.
Arrogance continues to amaze me and how it can distort thinking.
Wow! He's right "The world hasn't changed all that much.
What should they do the Germans were a incredible army how many more allied troops should have died it's a no win situation
They should have just showed Trinity test on the 6 o'clock news. Empower would have surrendered.
