(11/11) Battlefield II El Alamein Ep10 World War II

[18tangles]

well done,and regardless of what the Americans may think, this was the end of the Germans in Africa as an attacking army, defensive still dangerous .

BRAVO!!!

I'll give Monty credit for North Africa, but he should have been court-martialed over Market-Garden. And he might have been, if not for the fact that most of those who would have had to sit in judgement over him had made the same stubborn mistakes he did. There was just no way XXX Corps or anyone else could have gotten to Arnhem in the time alotted, not on that road. And some of his subordinates told him so at the outset. But Monty always did have a way of rewriting his history.

@tjhoenecke And who on the American side was responsible for Heligen Wood Americas main disaster in europe. Montgomery was an egotistical prick, Alexander was better and Slim was the best of the lot.U.S. Patton another egotist, anyone know what Clarke was like?Any others. We Aussies had a couple of good ones but they were nobbled by Blamey the bastard. However I think Monty was nobbled himself by Churchill who was always pushing, not a generals bumhole Churchill.

Was General Monty Lucky? Of course he was, he knew it and used that fact to the allies advantage. Napoleon was once asked to promote an officer to higher rank and after being told how good the officer was he asked;" Yes he sounds good, but is he lucky?, because luck and an officers ability to recognize it was as important as his bravery and ability combined"

Good upload, thanks.

try watching how Hitler lost the war and how he messed the the armies plans to invade Russia and Briton and if he left the original plans alone the this would have been a totally different war its kind of scary how close they came to winning

[HoustonGD]

If someone like Field Marshall von Manstein commanded the Whermacht, I can't imagine what would have happened. Fortunately the Allies secret weapon, Hitler, was in place. Thanks for your comments CJMS08

[TheRawke]

What would you await from an Austrian Private? With all the high Generals lacking the balls to tell Hitler where to go, the only possible ending was total defeat for Germany. Hitler basically had NO idea what strategy or tactic are, and he also overestimated the power of certain "secret weapons".

this could have been done in 10 min.

Rommel had 10 tanks left, Monty should've captured or killed him....

Cheers, great upload.....

[tjhoenecke]

@xxxx30pack Perhaps, but did Monty necessarily KNOW that at the time? Also, just because your opponent no longer has the strength to stay on the battlefield doesn't necessarily mean he's weak enough for you to annihilate him. How many guns, tank destroyers, assault guns, and infantry did Rommel still have left, besides those ten tanks? How much fuel and supplies did Monty have left, and how much energy did his men, after almost two straight weeks of fighting? Easier said than done....

hmm this volume was not as good as the others the massive recap and also the constatn repition of both infromation adn footage took away from wat could have been better, that saiud it was still a great watch.

[HoustonGD]

Battlefield II seems to be a rough draft for a better production lol. Battlefield I is far superior

[101Dobermanns]

Enjoyed every bit of it, though. Thanks GD.

[NGP58]

Yet another great volume! Thanks GD.
