(8/11) Battlefield II The Battle for Caen World War II

[RELeeOnTraveller]

Some of the worst drivel I have ever experienced.

[zeratule1]

It really surprised me the amount of mistakes in this Caen series. Commenting on Tiger II and showing Panther images, and of course the ones you observed. Also, the narrator of Kursk, for instance, is much better than this guy.

Weren't the bazookas 2.5" and Not 2.3?

[charlieofgondor]

Also refers to the King Tiger II instead of Tiger 1e appearing in the Desert, which it never did!

Editorial Fail!

[fuggsakes]

122mm penetration at 110 yds???? 1100 maybe?? poor proofreading

[2bn442RCT]

@fuggsakes Yes absolute mistake! Battlefield II has poor editing.

[101djarum]

It's almost as if the narrator is referring to a different video? In all fairness to each opposing force, the facts are misleading if not wrong. Keeping track of the several operations of Montgomery's operations on Caen is disheartening alone,much less the losses.

[Rugrat88]

Seems to be a lot of factual errors, in this part of the series, at least. Close to 9000 Panzer IV's were produced, not 3774 (I love how they try to sound so meticulously accurate and still be way off).

[2bn442RCT]

Yes they make many errors. You can see my many corrections just off the top of my head. But, I enjoy the series. Battlefield I is better.

2,300lbs? 2,300 tons.

Wilhelm von Runstead who is that lol

When narrating the MG-42 section the video is mostly of a MG-34.

[TheRawke]

British and US documentaries usually ignore the existence of the MG34, even though it was used throughout the war by German forces as there were not enough MG 42s to serve all units.

Also the gun sounds in the background certainly are not made by a MG42. Sounds like .50cal, probably .30cal. And the design of the MG42 isn't leading anymore? The German MG3 is bascially a slightly less devastating version of the MG42...

[PalleRasmussen]

Same we Danes use, there has been plans to replace it with the Minimi and the light ISW, but... Good old LMG is still the superior weapon IMO and that of many soldiers.

I am not aware how the plans are going, I hope no replacement.

[majorRajn]

@TheRawke YEEEPP Sounds like .30cal

[mobilechief]

@HoustonGD Lots and lots of errors here I see them too

[HoustonGD]

122mm of armor at 110 yards LOL. Its 122mm at 1100 yards!

[HoustonGD]

I did not know that Lt.Gen Dollman transformed himself into Capt. Wittmann 06:56

[HoustonGD]

8 2 pounders LOL How about 44+ 2 pounders 00:13. 20 20mm not 8. 8.5 " guns whats that. You get my point
