The truth is that our boys kicked the shit out of the fucking american dumbasses in the woods of huertgen. You bloody american cocksuckers lost 55000 idiots in this area.
@galdramadur1 And more Germans laid dead than Americans......Germany failed it's objective here and still continued to be the biggest fuck ups of the war. What the fuck are you smoking?
English is a language, guessing by your name, the only one you know. Understand what's being said before replying.
Alternatively, not that this'll change the world, but I had a neighbor that survived this, he unfortunately died of old age before I was old enough to really ask him how it was, because from what everyone told me about him, he absolutely loved talking about war stories.
@Zues120 what does that have to do with being awsome? sure people can like war but the way he said it make it sound as if being shot at, dead, lims flying all over awsome. I dont know what way you might see it as but the way i see is totally different more into the gory dead stuff wich i wouldnt find awsome.
@fuckedyourmom420 You clearly don't understand what I'm saying, Awesome is split into Awe and Some, to be Awed is to be inspired or shocked by something, as in, the amount of artillery fire was awe inspiring because of the sheer amount of it, it put the US soldiers into awe. Think of the term "Shock and Awe", Awe can be used as Awesome. So, "Awesome firepower" can be relative to "Lots and Lots of big, scary guns".
Why do all American made historical documentaries have to have narration from guys who also do the promo's for the Die hard, Rambo and the various other action movies drivel Hollywood coughs out. This is real, good men really died, why treat this in the same way you would promote a Bruce Willis/Steven Seagal movie. Perhaps they think American Audiences has very little attention span and it needs to sound like a action movie to keep em watching. No other country makes historical docs like this!
The US army was only made up of wogs and dogs thrown out of the balkans and other degenerates who no one wanted anywhere. This idiot what every lives in his own dream world,
if they hadn't left the balkans they would have left Ausschwitz thru the chimneys. Basically. And if Germany had won the war, there wouldn't be a single nigga, arab, and indian in Europe. A clean white race. They would all have gone to the US to become guards to keep an eye on ppl like Obama
@lunafringe10 "The US army was only made up of wogs and dogs thrown out of the balkans and other degenerates who no one wanted anywhere. This idiot what every lives in his own dream world," - there's no solid evidence that proves this. The population of America was damn large and to generalize it like that is sheer ignorance.
@lunafringe10 You've lost all credibility by showing you are a racist bigot. If you think black people, Arabs and Indians are the Second Black Plague, then you can simply halt all immigration or kick anyone out who's not being 'productive'.
If Germany had won the war it would have done no less then what the US did since end of the war, Invade, bomb, kill, maim, incarcerate, execute, and be arrogant.
@lunafringe10 Germany would have exterminated the entire Slavic and Jewish population and very possibly, conquer anyone else who was unfit to their racial policies - that pretty much means consolidating their strength for a while and then invading and exterminating the Middle East, Africa and if they're lucky enough, an attempt on Asia. As far as it goes, the US hasn't gone around committing mass systematic genocide over racial policies like Germany since the end of WW2.
@lunafringe10 With the exception of the 2003 Iraq invasion, the Korean War, Vietnam War, War in Afghanistan etc. were all wars the US entered when requested by the allies already fighting in those wars, in the case of the Korean War, it was a decision made by the UN.
@lunafringe10 Do please enlighten to give me any evidence that the UN is operating its own drug and prostitution operations in a global scale - which also goes to say, the UN has 193 countries as its members and to say every one of them are working jointly in selling drugs and prostitution is another example of your absolute ignorance.
@88Scatter The US said it themselves that Kofi Anans son was a drug merchant. Look it up. And whoever is into drugs is probably into prostitution as well. ISAF troops look on and probably rape boys at Bhagram airbase in Afghanistan. And Africa and the Balkans. Under their eyes the biggest girl trafficking in the world is common occurrence. Look it up. And there is more detestable things going on at the UN.
@lunafringe10 There's no evidence that suggests ISAF troops have raped boys in Afghanistan - if anything, chances are it's merely fabricated. Chances of the Taliban committing beastiality is even bigger. The UN can't halt all that at once - one, its decision-making process is more or less inefficient. Two, it doesn't have a unified army command. Three, one veto from the SC, then it's something that won't happen for a while.
@88Scatter yes there is, i just googled it. thats the thing abt googling, you can find whatever you're looking for. Do it and you ll open your eyes. And its not just in Afghanistan. The Taliban are no choir boys its true. But they don't claim that god has sent them right? Like the west does. Oh yes, the UN even bombed the ivory coast last year, To remove a legal president from office. You can also read about it, This world is a cesspool of snakes and rats, hardly anything good to be found in it
@88Scatter you can in fact point a finger at anyone in office, any organization on this planet and you ll be able to dig it into a mud of crime. Anyone and anything, You name it.
Banks, politicians, religious leaders, anyone in power or anyone rich. They are all nothing but bad asses
@88Scatter haha you can't be that naive sir, Everywhere where there are soldiers you have rape, murder and pillage. Nothing clean abt shooting people.
@lunafringe10 The war between the Germans and Soviet was ultimately inevitable. Keeping a 'low profile' is more or less unrealistic. Their economy and industrial capability was also definitely not on scale with the US nor was it sustainable to continue a long attritional war and even Britain outpaced Germany in aircraft production since the Battle of Britain.
well the war would have been over soon even without the americans the brits where kicking the nazis closser and closser to the groin whilst the russian got a steadier grip on them. and America was one of the countries the suffered least from the war. think about the french, belgian, german and russian population to they suffered massivly. In some places the entire infrastructure was destroyed and thousands of innocent civilians were killed.
pardon my ignorance, but were all german soldiers classified as nazi's? it was always my understanding that certain german soldiers weren't part of the nazi party, but i have been recently told otherwise. can anyone clarify this for me? thanks!
@07foxmulder Very good question.It is a little complex but the German army were called the 'Heer' and the Nazi party had the Waffen-SS which was their military/police wing which expanded rapidly from about 1935 and during the war fought alongside soldiers of the Heer Wehrmacht [defence force].
@1oldgit To add those in the military had to swear an oath of allegiance, under new rules, to the Fuhrer- this being Hitler but this didnot make those in the Heer members of the Nazi party although they were under the control of the ruling political party being the Nazi .....hope this sort of helps in your question 007Foxmulder ;)
And for the record, the Eastern front was fucking hardcore, not to say the western front wasnt savage the eastern front was worse than hell on earth. And im not a nazi nor do i endorse any Nazi activity, however the Nazi soldiers were heroes and true warriors true grit, im british btw!
This is a little bit propaganda. Of course, battles on the western front were cruel, but theres no comparison with eastern front. In the west americans had 5 times more soldiers than Germans, had much better equipment and in addition had brutal domination in the air....If americans hadnt defeated em, it would be the biggest disgrace in the USA history. German soldiers fought as great as they could. True heroes (I dont feel for nazi regime)
The Battle of the Bulge 1944, Show how foolish and pathetic Adolf Hitler was. Just like 1940, Hitler attacked the Ardennes. However in 1940 the Germans put all their Panzer in the Operation and had the best airforce in Europe, They had total-airpower. Also the Germans had their lap dogs Italy. In 1944 the Germans had what? They died brave just like their farthers!
@martynrobin121 in 1940 adolf hitler was,nt stupid he was ill but his generals were cowards and america and britain was stupid,have you any idea how close we came twice to nuclear war?we should have let germany totally wipe russia off the map and then attacked them the german ss were magnificent fighters only america industrial power beat them man for man the germans were the best.
@september7891 What? Remember it was Hitler who started the war in 1939. Only an idiot starts a war with Britain, They would never surrender and win no matter what the cost. Also Hitler declared war on the U.S 1941. I seem to remember we came close to nuclear war- due to the fact the U.S keeps trying to bully parts of the world, Infact look at how many nations are building nuclear weapons out of fear of Western Nuclear strikes? If anybody will start a nuclear war, You can be bet it will be NATO!
@martynrobin121 one we declared war on germany two 1941 was nearly over when the yanks came in it was december 41 not january 41 the germans had to keep half a million soldiers antiaircraft its a bit hard to fight russia while someother cunt is blowing up your cities the russians invaded poland with germany and they had haff each so to pretend hitler was the bad guy and stalling the good guy is obnoxious and hypocritical
@september7891 LEARN HISTORY- Germany declared war on the US after the Japs took the Phillipines and smashed Pearl Harbour. US Forces did not even arrive till 1942 and the USAF terroists attacks Germany started 1943, and killed 500,000+ innocents the Allies were not at war with the Civilians idiot. The RAF was bombing Germany & Axis Targets since 1939, The US join in to terroize the innocents people.
@martynrobin121 britain and french declared war on germany. germany didnt want a war with britain and france and tried for peace they saw the french and british as brothers.
@kmesprtan Yes, Germany did not want war with Britain & France, However in 1939 Hitler made his massive gamble to invade/occupy Poland. Britain gave Germany a final chance of peace, And asked Hitler to withdraw his Forces, Hitler refused and started the war. Just like the Great War Britain declared war for Freedom of Others, And the French just tag along. Hitler could not be trusted, After Munich.
@martynrobin121 I disagree friend...i believe Hitler wanted to conquer the whole world, and he would have too. if it wasn't for men like Winston Churchill, much kudos to him, and all other world leaders for seeing Hitler for what he truly was...a warmongering homicidal maniac, only problem was...we didn't finish the job, we should have marched our forces into the USSR, and stop what would eventually be at later threat when we had the chance..lol
@martynrobin121 And people like you make me laugh! so you say all he wanted to do was unite Greater Germany huh?? funny because last time i check nations like Finland, Norway, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and of course France, didn't belong to Greater Germany...but i guess Hitler must have had a different map then we do today huh? stop making yourself look foolish you nazi apologists, if not opposed he would have kept concerning any and everything.
@jojjimbo What are you talking about? Finland,Romania,Bulgaria,Hungary were Allies of Germany and part of the Axis.
Algeria,Morroco were never occupied by Axis Forces, They were French Colonies.
Yes, Germany,Italy invaded occupied France,Norway low countries because they declared war. Hitler in 1940 offered to withdraw for peace with Britain. Hitler goal was in Eastern Europe and Western Russia, "Living space"
@martynrobin121 There's no evidence that suggests Norway and the Low Countries declared war on Germany and Italy - Hitler invaded it simply because the attack on France was not ready and of Norway's strategic importance. Bulgaria didn't do shit for Germany and Finland wasn't even an official/legal member of the Axis as it never signed the Tripartite Pact.
@lunafringe10 Japan was of no value to Germany at all - neither could support each other economically and militarily in any real significant way. Italy, I can't say for sure. Finland, was using Germany just as much as Germany was using Finland - both sides had a mutual enemy, that's it. Now, if Finland was a 'pawn' of Germany, they would have signed the Tripartite Pact and gave into German demands, Finnish Jews would have been persecuted and Finnish troops would operate under Wehrmacht command.
@88Scatter Its very simple, Britain & France declared war 1939. Due to defence reasons the Germans had to conquer the Low countries. Also even the Allies had plans to occupy Norway, And Germany needed its resources and got their first. Finland was part of the Axis, And invaded the Soviet Union 1941 with the Aixs Alliance lead by Adolf Hitler. Just research, Most nations in Europe had their own SS and Werhmact Divisions,etc also most occupied nations had forced concripts,etc.
@september7891 Twice? The Great war started 1914, The US only arrived 1918 when the Ottoman Empire had been defeated & Austro-Hungary gave up and the German last attempt to break the Allies had ended in disaster with the Germans going into Mutiny. Infact the US saw a few weeks fighting and arrived for the victory parade. WW2 started 1939, Yet US arrived 1942 when the British were winning in Africa,Mid-East and the Red Army crushing the main Axis forces in the East, No prize for coming late!!
@martynrobin121 Exactly. The US say they "saved" the British and French in 1918, but what they don't realise is Ludendorff's offensive were continuously halted, and a counter attack was underway before the Americans even got there. Typical yankee bullshit propaganda, just like this video as a matter of fact
@TalonMercenary Not true. Ludendorff's offensive was a huge success for the first 9 weeks. The Germans had over 300,000 experinced troops from the Eastern Front. They had a large superiority in numbers. German storm troopers broke the British lines and wiped out the Fifth Army. The first defeat of the Germans was at Belleau Wood by the US Marines. Everyone knows Americans saved British and French in 1918.
@moonshot926 Classic Americans, wait till something shitty happens to them then they get involved, and claim the War as their win, ofc you were going to win you were an economic super power. Doesnt change the fact that everyone who fought was brave and worthy. Stop making out like America saves everyone.
@thatkidinthegreenhat I know that. The Germans would eventually starve with or without the USA in the war. The only quesion is, without Americans on the western front how long would the war have lasted?
@martynrobin121 The Brits were getting their ass handed to em by Rommel until they stopped em, barely, at El Alamein. The US arrived in 1917 dumbnuts, plenty of time to kick major ass and take plenty of casualties as well. The Kaiser wasnt ousted until the very end and the Ottoman Empire was in no way defeated until then. The Russians barely started winning in the 42-43 winter because of attrition and didnt start "crushing" the germans until Palaus was ordered not to mkae the 6th Army break out
@MontezumaUH60 What? For a start Rommel got his ass kicked. Operaton Crusader 1941, Rommel just escaped total defeat and lost everything. The British were winning the war, Just research. Also the US Forces did not arrive in the Great War till 1918, and only saw a few weeks fighting. Infact Italy played a bigger role. Obviously you dont seem to have a clue about history. The American propaganda of saving the world is just foolish, Funny BUT foolish. Dont be an American idiot all your life.
@martynrobin121 Does it make you feel better calling Americans idiots?. Dont trust wikipedia kid. And Claude Auchinlecks offensive(Crusader), was a flop. The commonwealth was defeated at Sidi Rezegh, Bir Ghirba, Sidi Azeiz. Sidi Rezegh, Alem Hamza. They lose Benghazi and Agedabia in the begging of 42. Theres was Black Sunday and the loss of Tobruk. They started to turn it around at Alam el Halfa and finally had a real victory at El Alemain. Thats was nearly the end of 42, not 41.
@MontezumaUH60 Operation Compass 1940, Wavells Blitzreig into Axis Occupied Africa, Major British Victory. Operation Crusader 1941, Rommel just escaped total defeat and lost most of his Armour,Air-Force,Resources. Alam Halfa, Alamein end of the Axis campaign in Africa, From Alamein-Tripolli Rommel defeated battle after battle, His defeated Forces trapped with no escape, British & Empire victory. From the start the British were winning. Did the Axis get near their Goals?..NO!
@martynrobin121 Just because you may not like history or the way it played out, doesnt mean you should ignore the facts. Now if youll notice its MEDIA that claims we have saved the world. I say its anyone who has fought against shit like Imperial Japan and Hitler. I dont think we saved the world even once, but we did help. Im just not ignoring facts, ive never said we never took a beating, Kasserine Pass was horrible.
@MontezumaUH60 The Axis goal in N.Africa was to defeat the British Forces and take the Suez rich of resources the Axis were desperate for, Also to push further East into the Empire in the East rich of Resources. However the Axis were not even near their goals, Rommel himself got to near Alamein but was crushed. The British were always winning in N.Africa. Just research, The Axis were desperate.
@00BEATE0BARDEN00 You stupid fucking krauts aren't happy unless every other generation you march off like lemmings to certain slaughter. Have fun goose stepping your way to eternity, sonny-boy.
@00BEATE0BARDEN00 awe....don't be so sensitive...its slang...I don't take offense to a foreigner calling me Yankee, Brits are called Limeys, Germans....Jerry, Hun, or Kraut...these are just nicknames.
@00BEATE0BARDEN00 False. The German Army put 70% avalible of Panzers for the offensive in the Ardennes. 60-80% of Luftwaffe was in the West for the whole of 1944. Last German troops reserves went to the West. The Germans sent 90% of fuel reserves to the west but it was not enough. Hitler planned to take Paris and cut off the British. He would annihilate the western allies. But the plan was suicidal.
In the part of 08:32-08:38 is complete bullshit. Finnish army used also 39' in winter war their own camouflage suit. Only idiots work in History channel.
@EngyJake i know what you mean, I think what he meant that the germans specialized them in different terrains but correct me if im wrong but did the finnish only use Camouflage in the winter where as the Germans used Camo for different seasons like Spring, Summer, winter and wore them in Splinter patterns
@EngyJake I think he was also referring to summer camouflage German military was using. But still, it's understatement that only German army used camouflage. USMC used alot in the Pacific.
I doubt that guy "works at the history channel," he's just a director at a WWII museum. All he said was that the Germans were the only ones making EXTENSIVE use of camouflage clothing , making it a rather subjective bit of information i.e. it's his opinion.
It's always funny how people come searching for these vids so they can find something to nitpick at. Can't we watch the video without the keyboard historians with their smug, often trivial, "corrections," ?
I thnk many of them look up these documentaries so they can whine about how the U.S. role is being "inflated," and how they're not satisfied with the number of U.S. dead and injured during the liberation of France and the thrust into Germany. That's one of the more popular topics in the comments.
@ninjacouncilguild Actually many people writes me really good comments about my comment. But you must be 10 year old fat kid who dosent care anybody than himself.
1- someone seem to forget that the Russians advanced again ... leaving almost Siberia ... after they got American Jeeps, Trucks and ammos (Mourmansk) ...
2- Winter didn't ever beat the Germans - the worthless live of a Russian Soldier and the way Stalin didn't care about casualties did
3- When the US came to Europa the Russians were still going back to Siberia and not advancing to Germany
4- The US wasn't alone on the Battlefield and no one has ever said this
@silverwolf531 Yes. This Film isnt totally pevertion of history, but a big perversion. In the battle of the bulge americans had 80.000 losses, Germans 68,000.
So it was a tactical win for the Germans, but by far not enough to turn the direction of WW2.
7:05-7:10....are they kidding me?! :'D thats the funniest joke iver ever heard! two soldiers get into an ambush with 4 enemy soldiers firing at them, a light machine gun firing at them and no one hits them and they kill all of the germans :'D!?!?
I told someone I was in the Military. They said "What part?" and I said Canadian Army. They said " That doesn't sound too threatening..." And I said "Good." >:]
@DonMeaker Today inn fact, the U.S. Army is the best Army in the world. This is also due to the experience. She has internalized the experience of past wars and taken the best of opponents. But she has not learned from the experience in Hue and had to pay for it in Fallujah. However, the U.S. Army today is the best in the world
@assym2006 oh, who do we have here, a comedian from Gibraltar. British and American veterans would never say that would have asses kicked. Can you imagine why they would never use this phrase? Your work must be properly boring. Commit yourself and join British Forces in iraq then tell me again about "ass kicki´n"
Assertion that Germany was only country that used camouflage is false. Soviets also extensively used white uniforms in winter, and Soviets also mass produced sniper rifle scopes.
The European Axis powers during the Battle of Bulge were bery weak, They didnt even have much fuel and couldnt even supply there comrades with basic equipment,etc. The Axis didnt even an Air-Force to protect there advance, It was all very pathetic and desperate, What was Hitler thinking??
@martynrobin121 An official report by the United States Department of the Army lists some 108,347 casualties including 19,246 killed, 62,489 wounded and 26,612 captured and missing. So much for a weak and pathetic German Wehrmacht. This German Landser were experienced russian winter campaign battle-hardened fighters.
And another thing ...even my Grandpa could have captured Osama..never heard of Fort Eben Emael? or the liberation of Mussolini? check out on youtube...Eben Emael
@ad220588 Its obviously the Axis were weak, They didnt even have basic things like Fuel and enough Ammo, They couldnt supply there comrades!! The Axis didnt even have an Air-Force to cover the "advance" whitch was insane! And only a few divisions were pulled back from the Eastern Front, Where 75% of what was left of the Axis forces were fighting, The Americans,British during the Bulge had to fight 25% of weak forces, Look into the Battle of East Prussia 1944, Millions dead,etc.
@ad220588 How can you call the Axis forces during the Battle of the Bulge well equipped?? The Axis only had a small amount of Fuel whitch was going to get them no-where, The Axis had hudge problems to supply there comrades with basic thing like ammo,fuel,food,etc. Most of all the Axis advance didnt even have an Airforce to cover, The Axis military was built for blitzreig, There was no blitzreig during the Battleof the bulge, Just desperate attempt to please Hitler, It was insane!
@ad220588 Germany's interim objectives were the crossings over the Meuse. The final objectives was Antwerp. Germans didn't make their interim objectives, and never got close to the final objectives. If the Germans were the preeminent army of WWII, why did then never reach a single campaign objective against the US. Not one. Ever.
@DonMeaker we defeated Poland, Norway, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and France. Then we had a two-front war.
then we experience what you experience in Iraq. today - asymmetric war! Your Army have overtaken our warfare our tactics Helmets, our assault rifles.and why did it? The Gemans where the outstanding fighting force in WW2..
@ad220588 Germany defeated Poland with USSR as ally. Defeated France with Italy as ally. Fought with Yugoslavian government against rebels, and lost. defeated Greece with Italy as ally. Defeated Norway with Quislings as ally. US helmets, assault rifles are vastly different and much improved vs. German, as are tactics. Germans copied dive bomb tactics from US. US kicked German butt from Africa to the Elbe.
@DonMeaker First, Italy is not invaded France. The russians have not supported us against poland. Norwegian and Croatian Nazi sympathizers are not designated as Regular Army. Rather they were recruited retrospectively partisan fighting, etc..Quisling and his followers were no army. You throw something in the room that you've picked up on the internet. you should put more value on education. study history with focus 3.Reich. or a visiting lecture at West Point
@ad220588 Sorry, I attended West Point, and served in Europe as a Captain. USSR supported Germany against Poland, invading on Sept 17th. Italy did try to invade France in 1940, but the French were able to turn them back, but that kept the southern French divisions from fighting in northern France.
@DonMeaker Do not talk rubbish. You were never at West Point and never bin outside USA. If you graduated at West Point, then tell me which picture of an German WW2 General is in West Point! However, Italy was not prepared for war and Italy′s armed forces made little impact during the last few days of the Battle of France. Mussolini was well aware of Italy′s military limitations at the time, but he still sought to profit from Germany′s successes
@DonMeaker the Russians were so weakened by the Winter War in Finland, they were at that time rather a weak partner. The battle started with a two hour bombardment of the Allies lines that was followed by a huge armoured attack with the majority of the German armoured might based at the Schnee Eifel. The Germans experienced great success to start with.
@ad220588 the German plan was to make holes with their infantry, and exploit with Pz units. The German infantry were unable to make holes, and so the Pz were committed to do the Infantry mission, slowing their attack. US on the northern shoulder killed 18 germans for each soldier they lost. The slowing of the German attack permitted US units to roadmarch to plug the hole. Peiper led off with 4800 men, returned with about 500, and no heavy equipment.
@DonMeaker A 18: 1 kill ratio ? my goodness do not overdo it ! Reminds me of body count in vietnam. Amazing facts that were reported. However that the statistics are manipulated. 100 killed Vietcong were 20 women and 30 old men, two children, and 30 water buffalo and the rest has to still be added.
@ad220588 That you have to change the subject shows weakness in your argument. Yes, Germans attacking schnee eifel lost 18 for every US soldier lost, and the initial attacks didn't reach their objectives. That is why the 6th Pz Army had to send their tanks in to take the early objectives, rather than using them for exploitation. US forces pulled back, and held on. Peiper was so unhappy with progress that he ordered the murder of captured US soldiers. He was shot for his war crimes.
@DonMeaker On Christmas Eve, the Allies experienced the first ever attack by jet bombers. Sixteen German Me-262’s attacked rail yards in an attempt to upset the ability of the Allies to supply themselves. However, without fuel for their armoured vehicles, any success in the air was meaningless. The Germans had advanced 60 miles in two days but from December 18th on, they were in a position of stalemate.
@DonMeaker "The Army was a great battle group, which found regarding morale, enthusiasm and internal cohesion among the armies of the twentieth century, no equal." (Martin van Creveld, U.S. military historian)
@DonMeaker possibly because we fought simultaneously against the English, Russians and Americans.
Against such a mini country like Germany the losses have to be at 0.0 %...The Osama bin Laden thing...the Germans did it 70 years ago...capturing Fort Eben Emael in Belgium. Had we fought against you alone, we would have won. The Russians were much better fighter than you. The Russians paid the highest death toll. We just went out of fuel. I am very happy for that !
@ad220588 Don't forget the Danes, Norweigans, French, Greeks, Slavs, Italians, Belgians and Poles. Hitler never could make up his mind. The old joke was he was the second most powerful man in Germany, right after the last person who had talked with him.
@DonMeaker You quoted German war crimes first! Yes you're right! French, Finnish, Norwegian and Belgians fought in the Waffen SS (Viking, Charlemagne) Possibly can compare the BAR with the FG-42 not MG-42 I have not only quotes Ramsey Clark. Had we only fought against you without Allied help we have won against you. The German soldiers were simply better at the time. Your ratio of 18:1 is exaggerated. your statistics are notorious exaggerated, see Vietnam
@ad220588 the statistics of 18:1 for that division unit in that one defensive battle are accurate. In Okinawa they got up to 30:1 but that was against partially trained Japanese. US MGs were BAR as light, .30 Browning as medium and .50 browning as heavy. Germany used polish 8mm browning as medium, czech counterparts to bren, as well as mg-34 and mg42 as general purpose mgs. each has strengths. Germany would n't even fight Poland alone, arranging for USSR to attack poland on sept 17th
@DonMeaker The Russians were no help, they were weakened by the war with the Finns. It is true that the Wehrmacht has used BAR's but it was not the rule. We have supported the Finns during the Russo-Finnish War. Stalin purged his army and capable officers were killed. The Russians were ill-equipped. We just could not push to the russian borders without making Stalin suspicious, so we had to make a deal with him. We have defeated Poland alone.
@ad220588 Russians were key to Polish abandonment of the Romanian Bridgehead. Poland never surrendered. Poland, rather than fight on against Germany and Russia, had their men escape through Romania. In 1945 the Poles had the 4th largest army in Germany .
@DonMeaker wonder why Poland for the United States still need a visa and the evil Germans only a passport. why don´t you write to your congressman. You are so grateful to Poland, that you have sold them after war to the Russians. Poland was defeated and period. You are talking here of an exile army. You ought to take a book at hand and not just the Playboy. I admit that statistics and facts without pictures are a bit dry.
@ad220588 for 20 million deaths in WWII and some 80% of the German army destroyed. Soviets perhaps deserve some consideration. Poland never surrendered, and gained much land from defeated Germany. US had no prewar alliance with Poland. Poland gained some land as ally of Germany against Czechoslovakia in 1938, so were not quite so pristine as we could wish.
Just "some consideration????The Russians saved your asses and softened up the hard spots for USA were just the last straw who broke the camel´s back when you arrived at the European theater. You are a typcial, ignorant American. I guess even in a bar-fight when 6 ppl vs 1. Everyone of you claim that he solely kicked the guy´s ass all alone. But again. When you all alone, without proper support in Vietnam or Somalia you get your ass kicked against Third world countries.
@FinnishHammerItOn Vietnam? a political loss yes, but by no means a militaty loss. And somalia we had like 10 men killed by savage nigger monkeys and you say we got are ass kicked. And yes the soviet dogs only won because they sent millions and millions to their death, the germans by far had better soldiers, it was mainly brutal russian weather that did the germans in
@FinnishHammerItOn considering the Germans never dropped a single bomb on the US, I wouldn't think the Russians saved our asses. Also note that the US defeated North Vietnam, and forced them to sign a peace treaty. After we left, they violated their peace treaty. I never claimed we beat Germany alone, in fact I mention that USSR destroyed 80% of German army. Soviets lost over 1 million 2nd lieutenants.
@FinnishHammerItOn ----Finland, what a joke, if not for America and Hitlers military mistakes , the whole European continent would belong to Germany! On second thought Germany controls your asses even now without war!!!!!
@MrStig691 ---No one can sell the UK short on their efforts to beat Germany back, but if not for American resources and money (free of charge) Germany would have eventually starved England into submission! There is no way Russia could have recovered and produced the huge military they did without American material, vehicles, and food, incidentally, they never payed a dime back!My Dad was in England a year before the invasion (101st) , he was ultimately respectful of the British effort!
@MrStonemike The German state systematically is openly using murder to suppress any opposition since at least 1919. Torture with directed energy weapons was already used in 1908, see my homepage, chapter Psychiatrie-->Zur Klinik der Narkolepsie. They also used large amounts of snitchers before ww1. There are several cases of possible murders before ww1, the most obvious being the famous Rudolf Diesel, see chapter murder on my homepage.You may have translated the texts by clicking the flags.
@MrStonemike The story of the finns in the winter war/ continuation war is one of the greatest of all time. a nation of 3 million holding out against the soviet union. Read about the finns taking off in brewster buffaloes (which were considered obsolete by 1936 lol) to fight against the best soviet aircraft and absolutely destroy them.
@JG2Shifty ---Yes, no one can ever deny the bravery and superior tactics the Finns used against the Russkies! I am a self taught history expert compared to most and I've read all kinds of official reports from just about any conflict ever fought, including the tactics of using camouflage ski teams to wipe out Russian units! I feel sorry for both the Finns and the Poles who have had to live in the same area with two of the most aggressive nations on Earth !
@ClipMaster93 ---You low class prick, you can't even express a thought ! Russians in world war 2 were helpless , ignorant imbeciles! My Dad was there , he said the Russians, men and women alike were illiterate zombies, you couldn't tell the male idiots from the female idiots! They would not have been able to build their 1944 Army without America feeding them and supplying material! Try learning to read historical fact instead of being scum bagging with the name calling from afar! Punk!
@ad220588 Crap. Molotov von Ribbentrop agreement arranged for Soviet invasion. Poles abandoned the "Roumanian Bridgehead" in response to Soviet invasion. In 1945 Poles were the 4th largest army in Germany. Germany was 5th.

fuckedyourmom420 3 weeks ago
@fuckedyourmom420 You clearly don't understand what I'm saying, Awesome is split into Awe and Some, to be Awed is to be inspired or shocked by something, as in, the amount of artillery fire was awe inspiring because of the sheer amount of it, it put the US soldiers into awe. Think of the term "Shock and Awe", Awe can be used as Awesome. So, "Awesome firepower" can be relative to "Lots and Lots of big, scary guns".

1- someone seem to forget that the Russians advanced again ... leaving almost Siberia ... after they got American Jeeps, Trucks and ammos (Mourmansk) ...
2- Winter didn't ever beat the Germans - the worthless live of a Russian Soldier and the way Stalin didn't care about casualties did
3- When the US came to Europa the Russians were still going back to Siberia and not advancing to Germany
4- The US wasn't alone on the Battlefield and no one has ever said this

@silverwolf531 Yes. This Film isnt totally pevertion of history, but a big perversion. In the battle of the bulge americans had 80.000 losses, Germans 68,000.
So it was a tactical win for the Germans, but by far not enough to turn the direction of WW2.

@DonMeaker Today inn fact, the U.S. Army is the best Army in the world. This is also due to the experience. She has internalized the experience of past wars and taken the best of opponents. But she has not learned from the experience in Hue and had to pay for it in Fallujah. However, the U.S. Army today is the best in the world

The Axis didnt even have an Air-Force to cover the "advance" whitch was insane! And only a few divisions were pulled back from the Eastern Front, Where 75% of what was left of the Axis forces were fighting, The Americans,British during the Bulge had to fight 25% of weak forces, Look into the Battle of East Prussia 1944, Millions dead,etc.

@ad220588 Germany's interim objectives were the crossings over the Meuse. The final objectives was Antwerp. Germans didn't make their interim objectives, and never got close to the final objectives. If the Germans were the preeminent army of WWII, why did then never reach a single campaign objective against the US. Not one. Ever.

@DonMeaker we defeated Poland, Norway, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and France. Then we had a two-front war.
then we experience what you experience in Iraq. today - asymmetric war! Your Army have overtaken our warfare our tactics Helmets, our assault rifles.and why did it? The Gemans where the outstanding fighting force in WW2..

@ad220588 Germany defeated Poland with USSR as ally. Defeated France with Italy as ally. Fought with Yugoslavian government against rebels, and lost. defeated Greece with Italy as ally. Defeated Norway with Quislings as ally. US helmets, assault rifles are vastly different and much improved vs. German, as are tactics. Germans copied dive bomb tactics from US. US kicked German butt from Africa to the Elbe.

@DonMeaker First, Italy is not invaded France. The russians have not supported us against poland. Norwegian and Croatian Nazi sympathizers are not designated as Regular Army. Rather they were recruited retrospectively partisan fighting, etc..Quisling and his followers were no army. You throw something in the room that you've picked up on the internet. you should put more value on education. study history with focus 3.Reich. or a visiting lecture at West Point

@ad220588 Sorry, I attended West Point, and served in Europe as a Captain. USSR supported Germany against Poland, invading on Sept 17th. Italy did try to invade France in 1940, but the French were able to turn them back, but that kept the southern French divisions from fighting in northern France.

@DonMeaker Do not talk rubbish. You were never at West Point and never bin outside USA. If you graduated at West Point, then tell me which picture of an German WW2 General is in West Point! However, Italy was not prepared for war and Italy′s armed forces made little impact during the last few days of the Battle of France. Mussolini was well aware of Italy′s military limitations at the time, but he still sought to profit from Germany′s successes

@DonMeaker the Russians were so weakened by the Winter War in Finland, they were at that time rather a weak partner. The battle started with a two hour bombardment of the Allies lines that was followed by a huge armoured attack with the majority of the German armoured might based at the Schnee Eifel. The Germans experienced great success to start with.
ad220588 4 months ago
@ad220588 the German plan was to make holes with their infantry, and exploit with Pz units. The German infantry were unable to make holes, and so the Pz were committed to do the Infantry mission, slowing their attack. US on the northern shoulder killed 18 germans for each soldier they lost. The slowing of the German attack permitted US units to roadmarch to plug the hole. Peiper led off with 4800 men, returned with about 500, and no heavy equipment.
DonMeaker 4 months ago
@DonMeaker A 18: 1 kill ratio ? my goodness do not overdo it ! Reminds me of body count in vietnam. Amazing facts that were reported. However that the statistics are manipulated. 100 killed Vietcong were 20 women and 30 old men, two children, and 30 water buffalo and the rest has to still be added.
ad220588 4 months ago
@ad220588 That you have to change the subject shows weakness in your argument. Yes, Germans attacking schnee eifel lost 18 for every US soldier lost, and the initial attacks didn't reach their objectives. That is why the 6th Pz Army had to send their tanks in to take the early objectives, rather than using them for exploitation. US forces pulled back, and held on. Peiper was so unhappy with progress that he ordered the murder of captured US soldiers. He was shot for his war crimes.

@DonMeaker On Christmas Eve, the Allies experienced the first ever attack by jet bombers. Sixteen German Me-262’s attacked rail yards in an attempt to upset the ability of the Allies to supply themselves. However, without fuel for their armoured vehicles, any success in the air was meaningless. The Germans had advanced 60 miles in two days but from December 18th on, they were in a position of stalemate.

@DonMeaker possibly because we fought simultaneously against the English, Russians and Americans.

@DonMeaker You quoted German war crimes first! Yes you're right! French, Finnish, Norwegian and Belgians fought in the Waffen SS (Viking, Charlemagne) Possibly can compare the BAR with the FG-42 not MG-42 I have not only quotes Ramsey Clark. Had we only fought against you without Allied help we have won against you. The German soldiers were simply better at the time. Your ratio of 18:1 is exaggerated. your statistics are notorious exaggerated, see Vietnam
ad220588 4 months ago
@ad220588 the statistics of 18:1 for that division unit in that one defensive battle are accurate. In Okinawa they got up to 30:1 but that was against partially trained Japanese. US MGs were BAR as light, .30 Browning as medium and .50 browning as heavy. Germany used polish 8mm browning as medium, czech counterparts to bren, as well as mg-34 and mg42 as general purpose mgs. each has strengths. Germany would n't even fight Poland alone, arranging for USSR to attack poland on sept 17th

DonMeaker 4 months ago
@DonMeaker The Russians were no help, they were weakened by the war with the Finns. It is true that the Wehrmacht has used BAR's but it was not the rule. We have supported the Finns during the Russo-Finnish War. Stalin purged his army and capable officers were killed. The Russians were ill-equipped. We just could not push to the russian borders without making Stalin suspicious, so we had to make a deal with him. We have defeated Poland alone.

@ad220588 Russians were key to Polish abandonment of the Romanian Bridgehead. Poland never surrendered. Poland, rather than fight on against Germany and Russia, had their men escape through Romania. In 1945 the Poles had the 4th largest army in Germany .

@DonMeaker wonder why Poland for the United States still need a visa and the evil Germans only a passport. why don´t you write to your congressman. You are so grateful to Poland, that you have sold them after war to the Russians. Poland was defeated and period. You are talking here of an exile army. You ought to take a book at hand and not just the Playboy. I admit that statistics and facts without pictures are a bit dry.

@ad220588 for 20 million deaths in WWII and some 80% of the German army destroyed. Soviets perhaps deserve some consideration. Poland never surrendered, and gained much land from defeated Germany. US had no prewar alliance with Poland. Poland gained some land as ally of Germany against Czechoslovakia in 1938, so were not quite so pristine as we could wish.

There are several cases of possible murders before ww1, the most obvious being the famous Rudolf Diesel, see chapter murder on my homepage.You may have translated the texts by clicking the flags.
