  • God Bless Britain and God Bless United States of America

    Best allies ever :D

    We're not so different.

  • All hail to the saviours of London, England - those American fly boys, the ones Churchill called, "the few".

  • @EasyCompanyAirborne Yawn, the Americans joined the war two years late, still better late than never

  • @ramaslama Huh? The Americans were fighting in WW2 long before the English. 

  • @EasyCompanyAirborne Who told you that? You been watching too many John Wayne movies. Yes you loaned us ships and tanks and even did a bit of convoy protection but no real fighting until Pearl harbour. Facts are facts don't start fantasising.

  • @ramaslama Yeh. Americans were fighting in WW2 since 1937. Fighting the Japanese up and down the Yangtze. Ever watched the film Pearl Harbor? It shows scenes from the Battle of Britain. The American flyboys were even there. So proud!

  • @EasyCompanyAirborne No world war for US till 1941. there was a couple of US pilots in battle of Britain. Don't pay attention to Hollywood it is only fantasy

  • My grandmother was there, making bombs . She saw these things. It gives me a personal connection. I saw her pride and heard her tell her vivid memories. I wish I had talked to her more about it and recorded her recollections before she passed away. :'(

    This was their finest hour.

  • glory manchester united, bayer munich, and l.a galaxy

  • name of song at 1:30? D:<

  • Bombing Britian was God's will to punish that evil British empire! If you have been to the London Imperial war museum, you'll got an idea how much wealths has been thefted,looted from around the world!

  • This was all geared for the Invasion of England.

    Before this could take place the Royal Navy had to be knocked out and the RAF as well> the Luftwaffe failed on both counts mainly due to thweir inability to beat the RAF.

    Concentrating on airfields etc at the begiining was the right strategy but Hitler changed it after a British bombing raid on Berlin and ordered retaliatory attacks on London.

    Hitler was the best general the Allies had.

  • The germans got beat for the first time in ww2.

    Simple as that!

  • This great documentary shows what war really is: the senseless fighting for life on both sides, by soldiers who thought they had to do it. If only the generals and statesmen fought, the war would be over in a minute and nobody would be sorry for the loss. :-D

  • Comment removed

  • Why this documentary makes no mention of Polish heroes of the Battle of Britain. It's heroic exploits were about whose history must be remembered. This mentality of Poland which the British must keep in mind. Today, the British did not respect the Poles. And this is after all the heroic and historic nation. CHECK ON THE YOUTUBE : Polish Flyboys over Britain 1940

  • @jaskol001

    I salute you, the punjab, gurkha's and all allies of Britain!

  • No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron

  • germany in 1940 (with austria, etc.)  had a population of 100.000.000. France only 38.000.000 and much more older due to a very low birthrate after 1918... Britain - 47.000.000

  • @chess012345 germany only had 68 million

  • @chess012345 100 millions is too high, most sources I've seen tell about hardly 80 million in 1938. It doesn't matter for the 1940 war anyways because back then the German military and allied forces were even smaller than that of France and their allies present on the Western Front. The population aspect would have only become essential had the French forced the Germans into a long and costly campaign which they couldn't for reasons that have less to do with numbers than with wrong decisions.

  • I'm glad. That the Germans could not destroy England, but the British were lucky that they did not meet with Germany on the ground

  • @shuljup Not strictly true, Germany's first defeat on land in WW2. was in the western desert in 1942, when Rommel's Afrika Korps were defeated by Montgomery's British 8th Army at El. Alamain.

  • @shuljup O please, the British new the area they were fighting in and would defeat the Germans. They were good, but they weren't super soldiers. To be honest, I think some of the US and British generals were better than some German generals. They had to have a flaw or they'd have won the war.

  • @SuperClintEastwood Exactly clint, well said, also these uneducated people seem to forget we DID meet germany, head on, in north africa, a huge strategic point, and we completely demolished the germans, same would of happened anywhere else.

  • @sadas25: Yeah, but it was still a two-horse race. You didn't exactly kick the Africa Corps' arse!!

  • @shuljup We did meet with germany on the ground, in north africa, the battle for the meditarranean, and we wiped the floor with them, so whats your point?

  • @shuljup How do you know that? As that didn't happen no one knows what could have happened, that's like me saying Germany was lucky a rock didn't fall from space hit the floor bounce up the stairs in an elevator down the road, in the back seat of a taxi to get too Berlin quicker and then kill all the Nazis. Don't say they were lucky they was smart and planned it out and anything would be possible.

  • At the time of the Battle of Britain, the UK were the only allies fighting WWII, america stood back and cowered whilst brave British soldiers fought for their lives and the French.

  • LOL I was reading the comments and one guy thought the queen still held totalitarian power over Britain and that the British (me) are queen worshipping communists. (caps lock on) LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • @HeadshotProductio100 The Queen does have power, She is the Head of the Armed Forces and state for Britain and the Commonweath, She is also the Head of State of many nations. And YES she isnt a dictator she doesnt run Britain and the Commonwelath nations but she is the head of state and has power.

  • The american guy is a liar. America thought England was a goner, thats why they took so long to commit their forces.

  • r.i.p bob doe

  • @WolfytheWolf5667 america stands for freedom we fought to beat the japs the italians and the germans ... we didnt attack the fucking UK we aided the french when they needed help because the nazi bastards took over paris

  • I always find that Canadians tend to have much more class than their cousins underneath them. They always seem to be respectful and quietly confident not like the loud brash WOAH YEAH WOAH annoyingly in your face Americans! I'm British and my Grandad (who was in the RAF) always said the Canadians were much better to fight alongside.

  • @EFC442 That's because the Canadians have always been crown lapdogs whereas the Americans kicked your asses off their dirt. My dog's respectful and quietly confident; doesn't mean I'd rather have him on my side in a fight than a bear. Don't confuse drinking buddies with war buddies, totally different criterion therein.

  • @SnakeTheFox Canada in not anymore lapdog of Britain. People don't like queen of England. As I know Australian also hate her.

  • the canadians did help the British in the battle of britain.. infact it was canadian pilots who helped way before the americanswere involved. around 80 of them, were pilots in the Royal Airforce compared to 1 american pilot. The americans were supplying shipments of much needed supplies to Britian to keep them holding out.

  • I wonder if would have all been very different if Hitler had two balls.

  • Did the German defeated the British? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @piontro The Germans canceled the battle...simple as that!

  • they MAYBE lost because:

    1 french saboteurs were blowing up anyhing they could get their hands on (aven though are politicians were,are and will be a bunch of anuses)

    2 the British have more bravery in one of them than eight men of my country (France)

    3 the americans were shittin...er... SHIPPing in supplies

    4 nearly every nationality was on the ground firing thir flak canon at every flying object, like buterflies or planes

    5 the english had this super ultra powerful weapon calles THE EARL GRAY

  • The Germans had no idea of the British radar? Then why did they carry out strikes against the radar posts? I don't think that's right, the Germans knew about it.

  • @evildeathmonkey1 Yes they knew about radar. But did not quite at the time understand how we were using it. They knew we were using it but not this way.

  • @evildeathmonkey1 Goering didn't think the radar sites were important.

  • I must admit the German Pilots and the rest of there Warfare chronicles have always been better than ours in every way.

  • The best-est plane during world war two was the Spitfire

  • @piontro That depends on what you call best. Most beautiful for sure but it suffered from lack of range. As a short range air defence fighter it was fantastic.

  • great  i like the germans pilots

  • Lets try not to argue guys, if anybody starts posting nazi comments then just ignore them. If you don't know what I mean then search the video for Churchill's speech about "We shall fight in the beaches"

  • I wonder why the song written for the Germans described us as "Lions" Surly that would not be good for moral ^^

  • The moral is... Dont fuck with the British!! :D

    (and not just because America will defend us ^^)

  • @cyclekarl The only thing that affects us in the E.U is 80% of there laws is the same as ours. The only people who own Britian is England and thats how it will always be. The E.U is just a trading system that we should have never joined. Yes, UKIP would be good but we have other things to worry about which hopefully conservative will fix after Labour putting us in this massive mess.

  • I want the soundtrack to this video

  • Actually the reason he didnt invade was he got seasick :/

  • Kraut sons a bitches.

  • really? in which way? more detail pls

  • @1234567loading Throwing everything they had at each other, England would probably win. But like in both World Wars, Germany would have the option to starve England to death, simply by cutting off England's supplies. Then again, the Royal Navy would make mincemeat out of the German navy.

    Strenghtwise England is slightly superior, but Germany probably would win, because it just has the better geographic properties, if you know what I mean.

    By the way, what cyclekarl said is complete nonsense.

  • @HenryTheChipfork accuatly i think England has a better geographic properties to resit a invasion. its on a island so it would take a german navy to get troops there and like you said the royal navy would rape the german navy. so germany stuck bombing and we all know how that ended. for germany you could invade with ground forces and use air power and your not storming a beach to do it .

  • who will win if uk vs germany fight todays?

  • @1234567loading France. And, maybe the US.

  • i didn't say world war i only said uk vs germany

  • Exactly. You don't have to be a strategic military competitor to be an economic competitor... Indirect parties would consequently benefit.

  • @tpmunyon china

  • @1234567loading if they would really fight today, the us would come to support the uk, and germany would be screeeewed^^

  • Very good documentary.

  • I didn't know Pete Townsend was a fighter pilot... and a hell of a guitar player.

    kidding.

  • Read your history. We all started it. Look at WWI for the answers and then the international bankers for the rest. Don't walk around blind the rest of your life.

  • wow this film is so non bias.

  • These guys saved us no matter how reasonable the Germans sound, they got f****d good job too thanks to our heroes and their Spitty's and Hurricanes??? we didn't start it we finished it! Japanese, German, why do we apologise what we did in War? they started it??? Dresden, Hiroshima????????? if they hadn't started it we the Allies wouldn't have finished it? Why does everyone try to apologise for what is by all reasoning, RIGHT!?

  • Wrong, but go on.

  • wow, thats brutal. One of my favourite battles of the war, but it sounds much more horrifying than i thought. I dont know where the whole romantic side of being a fighter pilot came from. and not to discredit anyone, but fighter pilots have it alot easier nowadays it seems. And as DWol001 said, it is good to get a different perspective.

  • Fly boys are historically romanticized. It took a lot more "stuff" to be a fighter pilot and just symbolically they're very heroic.

    Soaring through the sky with bullets flying just sounds more romantic than dodging bullets in the dirt ... you know?

  • yeah i know what you mean. good way to put it

  • I disagree. (stvienna) it shows the germans as people. We in the U.S.A. portray them as monsters (1941-45) in our movies. They were the enemy, and many german americans fought against them. The NAZIs created the mess.

    This war was fought 65 years ago and still brings high emotion and continued "What If" senarios. Humans love war. we're doomed to repeat it all.

  • I think it is poor that a film wich should be journalism of events and interviewing people turns out this. Its just patriotism, cheap emotions and entertainment of one of the main events in 20th century.

    So all: start reading wikipedia about the events and if you agree to my opinion stop this film.

  • Wikipedia is as bad as this film may seem. I'm not saying you're right, but really to quote Wiki as a reliable source is somewhat laughable.

    This scenario is FAR to complicated to get a 100% factual and unbiased version, there is no summary that can capture the TRUE essence of this war, or any war for that matter.

  • @stvienna ;Its just patriotism' Patriotism by who, exactly? It's an American documentary about events that happened in Britain, which features German first-hand witnesses speaking freely. How the hell can that have anything to do with patriotism??? Are you on drugs?

  • @TransoceanicOutreach it's not American you Fucking Ignorant, America is not just the USA,The USA is part of the continent called AMERICA. But of course you are so arrogantly ignorant that you didn't knew that. EAT SHIT ASSHOLE, the commentator is British. The USA was so afraid of the Germans that they never did nothing to help Britain. So take your head off your anus and wake up.

  • @piontro Shut the fuck up, everyone other than your stupid canadian ass understands that Americans=Citizens of the USA. And the US didn't help Britain? They did, and unlike Canada, they chose to help and not because they are the queen's bitch.

  • @Kamikazeesouled Canada helped of her own free will. We also declared war on Japan before America did to help our buddies down South. America did help Britain but not in much of a substantial way until 1941 two years into the war.

  • @CDNSMOKEJUMPER Who is smarter, Americans or Canadians? American were selling raw materials to both sides, Germany and UK and making lots of money, but we Canadians we are Queens bitches and joined Britain side to share misery with them. American got their independency 230 years ago but still Canada is not officially an independent country! I hate it and I hate UK.

  • @jacob1363 I suppose you are entitled to your opinion. Even if it comes from a person with a lack of morals and has never been the the United Kingdom; where a lot of our recent ancestors are from.

  • @CDNSMOKEJUMPER I don't give a shit to ancestors, because no one gives. All the Europe has the same ancestor, Aryans, who cares about that? stupid people like you, ha? have you ever watched "Patriot"?

  • @jacob1363 My mistake for feeding a troll. Thankfully we keep our idiots like you in Canada to not tarnish our excellent reputation around the world. Go crawl back into your hovel ignorant troll.

  • @jacob1363

    ...WTF?

    So, you'd prefer French then? seeing as how French did attack Canada alongside US, and UK intervened and saved Canada.

    -.-

    I don't see how you can hate us. We're better than french. We don't fucking attack Sweden for no goddamned reason. And we certainly don't allow Americans victory so they can crush our Empire during WWII, effectively giving Zimbabwe and the like poor people

    We stood for freedom America stands for paranoia of black people.

    And Australians LOVE our queen FYI

  • @jacob1363 Canada officially became an wholly independent country in 1934 but actually was an independent country before that as a Dominion. Why not read up what being a Dominion of the British Empire meant? We were at Britain's side very willingly in both world wars to help them the way sons and brothers should.

    To all from the UK out there, pay no mind to the Canadian idiot here, we love the UK and the Queen and I know Australia does also.

  • @1Dougy85 As long as there are cock suckers like you who are proud of being Queen's slaves we should be a part of common wealth and serve for them.

  • @jacob1363 Where do you get that we are slaves to the Queen? Nothing of the sort. Nor do we serve the British. Canada, Britain, Australia and many others are all equal members in the Commonwealth. Britain is not any more the leader of the Commonwealth or have any more say or power than what Canada does and the Queen is just as much our Queen as she is Britain's. Don't like it? Too bad. It's no skin off our teeth to be part of the Commonwealth.

  • @1Dougy85 And I bet you are a piece of Brit shit, you are not Canadian, fuck off.

  • @jacob1363 Born, raised and will die Canadian. Brit shit? That is not very nice. What have they ever done to you? Grow up.

  • Kewlios

  • It's good to hear the German side of the battle.

  • i agree :)

  • Yes. It's good to get some idea about what the hell they were thinking!

  • @DWol001 since when ever did they I agree.

  • @DWol001 You those nazi murdering pieces of shit? I don't give a damn about those kraut bastards.

  • @mountainstandardtime You must...you wouldn't be watching this if you didn't! Either way, you don't even have a choice but to give a damn! Long live the British-German friendship!
