History Channel - occupation of Britain part 13

[nyhammer1]

50 built shelters with 5-6 semi-(un)trained resistance fighters, about 250 in all ( of which half would never have shown up). Safe to say that their impact on the germans would have been just about nothing.

Proof that u have to fight because even if u don't the evil will still kill you.

[Arhpeco]

Similar to Balkan partisans the Brits led by some sort of central command probably from the north would become much more mobile, organise larger units, supply themselves from loyal countrymen, and organise hidden field hospitals for wounded combatants, so the units would retain mobility. Home-held resistance for freedom is a hard if not impossible nut to crack, Afghanistan proves it!

[Arhpeco]

I don´t agree with conclusions in this video. Resistance in Britain would evolve as it dit on the continent. After the fall of Britain resistance would continue at least in the Balkans. Because the socialist party here was already banned before the invasion, they had no problem organising the liberation front; anyone anti naci/faci was welcome to join and they manage to liberate the first territory in Europe in 1942 in Slovenia (in Italian sector :-)

[philster61]

As is said. The Germans dont make mistakes, except the biggest.

[BritishWarLord]

The English are not the Real British

[formandfunction903]

Oasis are derivative

[ddd1953]

The German poet Shiller is quoted as saying "Life´s too short to learn German"

[nirbanda]

[HMservant]

Jesus I'm just glad it never happened. I am terrible at speaking German, thank god I didn't have to learn it as my primary language!

[chudnovsky]

[Validols]

Partisans in the Baltic woods lasted till ~1956 and all this time they hoped for western Europe to act. It never did.

[ghostdivision7]

What exactly the W. europe should have done. Declaring war on the Sovjetunion?

[Validols]

nah man, whats gone, that's gone, i'm just saying they where great man to last for so long under soviet terror.

[boulosjn]

godot u get over the fact that usa/israel are killin off middle easterners for oil,power,land not for freedom thats a joke , i served 3 yrs 13b field artillery u.s. army , usa gives israel 3 billion a year to kill at will & their still wiping out palestinians

[Oldcartoons571]

And what evidence do you have of this sir.

[boulosjn]

genocide & propaganda is alive n well, the usa & israel war machines learned it full well from ww2

[godot23]

wrong. idf or american troops dont execute civilians, stupid. they defend our freedom from muslim fascist world domination. get over it.

[lazytiger7]

If this had happened, the British would have got a taste of their own medicine which they adopted in India in 1857.

[aure232]

The practice used by germans seen in this video, where residents in nearest village is shot as reprisal was not only nazi policy but is been used well before second world war and is been used even nowadays (war in chechenya, Vietnam War etc.) and, certanly, becomes used in future too...

[highlandstag]

Scotland would of kick their ass and booted them out. Why no mention of that?

[mickswann]

All that effort and now we're in the EU. I suppose that all we did was forestall the inevitable, fascism is definitely back on the agenda, especially the way that the US is going.

This time round we appear to be taking the role of Italy.

[beakergirl]

thanks for posting

[mrfixer999]

Thank God for Winston Churchill! I'm sorry it took us so long before we "u.s.a." got deeply involved in WWII.

[elshaddai1978]

very spoky im happy nazism is beaten up and we in germany where freed by many brave men

[Fenderkicksass]

aren't you mad you guys lost the war?

[ShckJok]

Only a Nazi would be upset at losing the war

[Fenderkicksass]

err are you sure about that? I think a lot of Germans would be mad about losing cause once they lost their country got divided and was not united for another 50 years

[ShckJok]

really depends on what side of the wall you were on, I suppose, but I would argue that the guilt of a genocide worse than the Holocaust, would be worse then what East Germany experienced under the USSR.

[Fenderkicksass]

well most of the German people were not aware of the holocaust its self been carried out by their government. To them the Nazi regime had taken their country out of poverity and after just 10 years facism had put them on top of the world. I dont support facism I am just saying what happened

[ShckJok]

I am aware of that, but I was taking a retrospective approach.

[blackkraut76]

Wow! Now that's spooky!
