Apocalypse The Second World War THE CRUSHING DEFEAT PART 5

[fallen2991]

and why people talk about Nazis as they were someone so brutal world had never seen?! this was not the first not the last war. as in any war there are causalities, but that time world population was more than ever, that's why causalities reached 60mln or something. Nazis and Germans (not every German was Nazi) lost their reputation because of holocaust, but again it was not first nor last holocaust, such genocide happened earlier and after, but still Germans humiliated like after ww 1 because..

[fallen2991]

@fallen2991 they LOST

[garciagar64]

@fallen2991 2000 years ago, those atrocities were common. Today, we evolved to such high levels that actions like Syria, for example, have no room in our modern civilization.

[kskk9368]

All hitler had too do was wait. Britain was as good as defeated no food , ammo, equipment all gone. The only thing that saved Britain was U. S. without U. S. Britain and Churchill knew that. Nobody on the face of the earth could out produce U. S. The Japs found that out fast enough too.

[fallen2991]

@kskk9368 how about Canadians? they supported British a lot.

p.s U must be from u.s.a

[garciagar64]

@kskk9368 That's pretty correct. Without the lease and loan of the Americans, England would have sunk.

[rx0]

00:17 LIKE A BOSS

[reyter2007]

1:43 is absolute BS. Hitler stated outright that he has no problem with the UK and once the Soviet Union is defeated they will have no choice but to accept Germany as the primary capitalist power and even be granted parts of the Soviet Union to be colonized.

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 That is also correct. The Nazis were of the opinion that the English, been fifty percent German, might join then in the fight against Russia. Wrong guess I think.

[reyter2007]

@garciagar64

What do you mean "English being 50% German"? A "pure blood" Anglo-Saxon is 0% German. Obviously! The Germans in eastern regions and northern regions have been breeding with the Slavs and Scandinavians for many generations and now it's said they are all about 40% Slavic. Not so much in the west and south where Germans make a up a very large % of the population of northern Italy and eastern France.

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 I do believe that you are aware that the present Queen of England is actually of German. "The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact."

[reyter2007]

@garciagar64

WTF??? So now you are saying if one descends from a Germanic tribe, he or she is in fact "German"? That's like saying anyone descended from a Slavic tribe is Russian, anyone descended from a Mongoloid tribe is Chinese and etc etc. In other words to say English are half German because they descended from a Germanic tribe is a patently idiotic comment! Are you below 13 years-old? Don't comment in adult discussions until you are have an education.

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 You don't have to go Ad hominem OK? Take California 2000 years from now. Somebody might say "After all California citizens are 60% Mexican or Hispanic."

How would you respond? Well, that's it folks. Interesting discussion. Very intellingent people. From Frankfurt, German. Ha good night over there.

[reyter2007]

@garciagar64

You stupid little fascist! I told you not to comment in adult discussions until you have an education. I have no idea what California will be like in 2000 years but what you saying now is that all Hispanics are Mexican. Have you been down to Madrid and told "the Mexicans" in Madrid such a thing?

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 Listen you little piece of shit. I told you not get personal. I finally realize you are a fucking communist. You are outdated. Wake up fucker and find a job. Look at my name. Can you tell what am I? Blowhorn inflated motherfucker. Can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen. Over and Out! Shithead!!!

[reyter2007]

@reyter2007

Of course you are right. Every Germanic person is a German, every Hispanic person a Mexican, every Slav a Russian, every Mongoloid a Chinese and etc etc.

I have told you twice now! Don't involve yourself in adult discussions until you have an education. Otherwise you will only succeed in coming across as more of a moron than you already are.

[StellandBlood]

@reyter2007

HAHA,may he endure in such enterprise,he could end killed.

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 Anglo-Saxon is a general term referring to the Germanic peoples who came to Britain during the 5th and 6th centuries, including Angles, Saxons, Frisii and Jutes. The term also refers to the language spoken at the time in England, which is now called Old English, and to the culture of the era, which has long attracted popular and scholarly attention.[1]

[Lightblinder]

this is one of the reasons that contribute to my belief that hitler was in fact an illuminati agent, sometimes he was really smart and crafty and other times he took really stupid decisions instead....almost as if he wanted to let the allies win, and dont give me that crap that it was because he was too arrogant and insane or whatever, he allowed strategic retreats a few times but left the sixth army freeze to death at stalingrad, some stuff just dont make sense

[thiennnnnnnn]

@Lightblinder lol illuminati

[garciagar64]

@Lightblinder I'm gonna make laugh. I'm not a Bible touting religious asshole. To me Hitler was divine intervention demon whose mission was to set up the world's political map for the future. Israel would not exist without Hitler. USA would not have become a world power without Hitler. There were 47 assassinations attempts against Hitler. He opened three fronts. Intelligent leader? He was 30 kilometers away from Moscow, and stopped because the weather. Three fronts????

[asad24041992]

He could have crushed Britain Easily,One of his biggest mistakes

[tfifriday1]

@asad24041992 they tried. they failed. the germans just weren't up to the task.

[asad24041992]

@tfifriday1 No ,Hitler didn't tried to invade Britain ,if he wanted he could have easily..Britain didn't won the battle of Britain, Hitler lost it because his decisions .Watch the documentary 'Why Hitler lost the war'

[garciagar64]

@asad24041992 All I know is that the British pilots wiped out Goering's Luftwaffe. Without air support, an invasion would have been nonsense.

[reyter2007]

@garciagar64

No, they didn't. If British pilots "wiped out Goering's Luftwaffe" how was it that Goering's Luftwaffe was able to deploy 1000s of aircraft for the invasion of the Soviet Union where the largest air battles were fought?

[garciagar64]

@reyter2007 So, if the English air force destroyed the German fleet, do you think Goering was that stupid to send those planes into English space?

[reyter2007]

@garciagar64

Goering, only ever committed a very small part of the Luftwaffe to bomb the UK. He had no interest in the UK. His goal was always the conquest of the Soviet Union.

[asad24041992]

@garciagar64 Ur knowledge is wrong ,first have some info..Luftwaffe was about to finish English air Force but Hitler halted the attack and used the air force just for night bombing. IF they wanted they could have wiped off English air force easily ..Watch the documentary 'Why hitler lost the war' and listen what the English generals are saying

[spemux]

invading the ussr and mass killing of the jews are the biggest mistake hitler has done... He could be great leader if he could his stupid ego.

@spemux 

[antzinn79]

Can you imagine the U.S getting invaded and taken over like france?

[CSATexan]

@antzinn79

That would take a hell of an imagination.

LOL.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, it is praticially impossible for a nation to invade and defeat the the USA.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan Invading modern-day US is close to impossible, logically, but during World War II it was more than possible if the invading nation could have a proper fleet capable of escorting the transport fleet, or the nation would have to attack from Mexico or Canada. US was really weak in the years before it joined World War II, it just built up strength so quickly that invasion became impossible.

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

Japan had a sizable Navy but not a force large enough to invade the US. And Germany lacked a Navy.

Even still such an invasion would run into logistical problems. An attack from East Mexico is highly unlikely the US could easily defend the straights of Florida or the Yucatan Channel ,

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan I already mentioned that. A Japanese or German attack on American soil would result in more logistical problems than Japan had in China or Germany at its peak during the invasion of USSR when the winter and mud kicked in. But that doesn't make it impossible, with the right alliances and aligning it could have been possible, but Germany was too deep in shit after the war with Allies broke out, so it was rather hopeless situation, mhmyeah.

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

Even with the USSR at Germany side. It would have been impossible. The only reason the US was able to invaded France was cause the US staged in England.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan Please stop being overly "nationalistic", you can't know what was possible and what was impossible in World War II. if United Kingdom and USSR would have been defeated (both could have happend with the right circumstances, altought it would be very hard to keep USSR from rebelling and UK was basically a fortress a few months after the fall of France, but with the right timing, strategies and manpower - everything was achievable).

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

It isn't a question of nationalism but a question of logistics. Even with the USA GDP surpassing all the allies and Axis powers combined the USA was only able to transport and feed 5 million troops in Europe.

There is no way that a European power would have been able to surpass that number of troops and supplies in a reverse campaign. Which the USA could have easily done considering that the burden of transport and supply would have fallen on the invader.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan As I said - almost everything can be achieved with the right conditions. I am not necessarily saying that the historical course of the war could have allowed Germans to invade US. I am saying that if for example the Soviet negotiations with Germany suceeded, they would have formed an alliance - USSR would start a major arms build-up and provide Germans with the Soviet air force in the Battle of Britain - with the Soviet and German industry combined and UK conquered a lot could happen.

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

It would not have been enough. To invade the US they would need the ability to transport at least 8 million men.

The invasion of Normand required the build up of 17 million tons of supplies over the course of two years. I don't see how an invading nation could possibly feed such a force. We are talking about 2 week' sailing time. Not to mention procurement, loading and unloading.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan But who's saying that the invasion would have to be done in weeks? What if UK would have been defeated before Japan attacked US, causing active trade between Japan and USSR (which would be German ally) that would prevent Japan from starving and there would be no reason for US-Axis war. What if the Congress would afterwards push for more neutrality as "peace" is now brought into Europe after Axis victory? US wouldn't risk fighting alone, how would they convince their men to fight?

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

The USA wouldn't have gotten into the war at all.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan That's what I'm saying. If Hitler would have had brains, he could have used smarter strategies, a neutral US with Allies defeated wouldn't be able to prepare for the war quickly enough if they had been invaded, millions of men would go into the battlefield without any training whatsoever, fighting the elite battle-hardened German troops which have obtained experience from several years of war and various military campaigns.

[CSATexan]

@Ricokz

In order for Hitler to invade the US he would have had to build up the naval force to do so. The East Coast being to only logical place to invade. The US could easily raise more than enough divisions to repel such an attack. Considering that the Germans would never be able to build enough boats to match a US military build up.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan But what if the US wouldn't have joined the war? They wouldn't have built up a strong military without convincing the public that intervention is needed and if US was not in any way threathened (invasion on US should logically be a surprise attack, not something that Hitler would announce a few months before), then the public would not be convinced that there is a need to join the military. It would take years to get a fleet ready, but Germany could do it with a focus on surface fleet.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan Plus, Germany wouldn't need to make a fleet as big as the Americans have, they just need to get a few carriers, battleships and cruisers ready to cover the invasion fleet, so they can land and then afterwards protect the shipping lines. If Japan also declares war while Germany is invading, then USN would be fighting on 2 fronts againist equal navies (the newly created German fleet would have advanced design, faced againist the out-dated American ships, altho they were still good).

[martynrobin121]

@CSATexan Hitlers main goal from day-1 was to destroy Communism and Unite Greater Germany, Hitler wanted to expand into the East. The Soviet Union was Hitlers enemy, Also Nazi Germany was Stalin enemy and they were both planning for war against each other. Hitler never wanted a war with Britain,France and the U.S asked for war with the Axis.

[CSATexan]

@martynrobin121

Actually the Axis all declared war on the USA, not the other way around. Now, after the fall of Poland, the USSR did try to become an Axis Nation of course Hitler would have none of it. The Brits and French didn't think much of the USSR so they didn't really pursue them as an allied.

[Ricokz]

@CSATexan Actually the British and the French did attempt to bring USSR into the Allies before Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed, but they failed, it had something to do with Allies perceiving USSR as a third-rate military country or something similiar (as Great Purge pretty much got rid of any proper Soviet military leadership).

[martynrobin121]

@CSATexan The U.S pushed for war with the Axis, It was very clear that America wanted the Allies to win the war, They done everything to make sure the Allies kept fighting and trading the U.S, However the U.S would only trade certain materials with the Axis! Stalin never wanted to part of the Axis, Stalin wanted time to build up the Red Army and always planning to attack Germany, Hitler only wanted to use Red Army to help invade E.Europe and supply the Axis against France,Britain 1938-41.

[martynrobin121]

@antzinn79 If the European Axis Powers stepped foot on American Soil the U.S would last weeks, Just like France the U.S would be humiliated. The U.S in 1940 wasnt even in the same league as Germany!

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Problem is - it was close to impossible. The US Navy was way stronger than what the Germans could create during the whole war (with their U-Boat focus, ofcourse, maybe if they concentrated on surface fleet they could have had a chance, but then Britain wouldn't have suffered from the convoy raiding), meaning that an invasion throught the whole Atlantic was close to impossible, supplying those troops would also be super hard, probably harder than in USSR during winter.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz I agree, It was impossible for the Axis to invade Britain,U.S for endless reasons. The Main reason is that Germany,etc had never wanted a war with Britain,America. The Axis goal was to destroy Communism and expand East, They were forced into war in the West. The Axis were all about there armies,airforce & blitzreig, They were the best at that time but picked on the world superpowers all at the same is crazy.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Well the fact that Germans didn't want a war with them doesn't really count as a reason, because Germany DID want to invade the British isles, they even had the plan prepared - Operation See Lowe, but it was cancelled due to a failure at Battle of Britain. British had naval superiority, so the Germans had to atleast gain air superiority to control the English channel, they failed and the idea for such invasion was dead.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz It was Britain who declared war on Germany, Obviously the Germans were going to defend themselfs, The reason Germany,Italy invaded W.Europe was because France,Britain declared war. Hitler asked Churchill for peace talks 1940 and even said the Axis would withdraw from W.Europe. Churchill made it clear there would be no peace talks. Operaton Sea-lion was the Axis last option to deal with Britain, And it ended in disaster, Hitlers main goal was to destroy Communism not Britain!!!

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 They weren't defending themselves. Hitler promised no further territorial claims in the meeting in Munich - he broke his promise, the Western Allies did what they had to do - got the world rid of an aggressor that conquered countless territories from independent countries. Germany started a war againist Poland, country whose independence was garuanteed by the Allies, they were ASKING for war, but didn't EXPECT that Allies would get out of their pussy caves and do anything.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz Germans were been killed in the Danzig Massacre by Poles, Obviously Germany was angry seen as Danzig used to part of Germany. Hitler wanted to unite Greater Germany and expand into the East to destroy Communism. Hitler called the war in the west a waste of life. And only Britain,France stood up, The US gave Germany a list of free nations not to invade, And the U.S done nothing when Germany,Italy invaded hald the countries on that list, Hitlers gambles backfired and helped communism!

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Danzig massacre? Are you talking about a medieval ages event? Lol, do you even know the motives for German attack on Danzig? They wanted to connect Koningsberg with the German homeland, so they could build a highway there, what has medieval ages to do with anything?

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz What are you talking about medieval times?? Before the Great war, Danzig was part of Germany after the humiliation of 1918, Danzig became part of Poland. Germans were been killed,tortured in Danzig by the Poles, Whitch gave Hitler an excuse to invade. Adolf Hitler main goal was to UNITE Greater Germany and expand into the East.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 And Operation See Lowe/Sea Lion never occured, please get your research done right. It was Battle of Britain - Germany's air offensive againist United Kingdom, that ended in a disaster and caused Germany to loose its air superiority.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz The First part of Operation Sealion was for the Luftwaffe to gain Air-superiority, However in the Battle in Britain, The RAF outnumbered defeated the Luftwaffe and any hopes of invading Britain was just foolish. So obviously Operation Sealion could not go ahead, Without Air-Superiority, As usual Hitler thought Churchill would agree to peace talks.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Again, your facts are wrong. The Luftwaffe outnumbered the RAF greatly, it was simply lack of proper leadership within the Luftwaffe that lead them to a failure. They could have won if they concentrated on the RAF, but as you may know - the leadership of Luftwaffe decided that it would be a good idea to use terror bombing and targeting political objectives, instead of trying to destroy the RAF that was shooting the Luftwaffe planes down one by one.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz The Luftwaffe were losing twice as many Aircraft,pilots than Britain, Both RAF and Luftwaffe had many Aircraft there main problem was Pilots, Its hard to replace good pilots. Britain could produce 100 spitfires,100 hurricanes in 1 week. Due to Radar the British knew WHEN and WHERE the Luftwaffe was coming and even how many. And remember terror bombing was very effective, Nations in Europe gave up just to save there Cities,People. The U.S loves terror bombing its there main weapon.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 The British people were ready for the war, terror bombing wouldn't and didn't change almost anything. No nation gave up just to avoid its territories being bombed, only Denmark, but that was because they didn't want a bloodshed and such, nothing to do with terror bombing. And nations in Europe FOUGHT for their cities and people, you don't save those by giving up all of your territories to opressive authoritian pshyco. And what has the rate of losses to do with what I wrote?

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz The "Terror" bombing of Britain was small and ineffective, Infact the Axis dropped more bombs on 1 City in Russia than the entire Blitz. You said that the Luftwaffe could have won the Battle of Britain, However with Radar the British knew When the enemy was coming. British Industry and trading partners could produce many Aircraft. The MAIN problem for both RAF and Luftwaffe was Pilots, And the Luftwaffe was losing twice as many Pilots,Aircraft than the RAF losing the Battle.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Do you even know what you're saying? In one comment you say that terror bombing was effective, in another you say it was small and ineffective, get your freaking facts straight (I know that about ineffective you're refering to Britain, but it was mainly due to various circumstances such as morale, readiness to fight and technological superiority over Britain). And they were losing more pilots and aircraft because of undecivisness, the leadership of Luftwaffe was pure shit.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz The bombing of Britain was obviously ineffective, It was small the Luftwaffe dropped more bombs on 1 City in Russia than the entire Blitz. As Churchill said "Do your worst Hitler, We shall do our best" The RAF hit Germany twice as hard. Even Allied bombing of Germany was ineffective, Due to the fact that under Allied bomber Germany was able to produce more than in peace-time 1944 was there record year for production. Luftwaffe leader was a Opium addict and typical dictator HITLER!

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 I already said that the bombing was a bad idea, what are you saying now? You're agreeing with all of my arguments, yet you're arguing with me? What?

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz The Luftwaffe done the same as most other Airforces, Yes i agree that the Leadership was poor due to Hitler and the state of Goering. During the Battle of Britain 40, The Luftwaffe done everything they could, Bombing Industry,Airfields,Bases,Citie­s. There problem was Hitler who wanted victory as soon as possible. The RAF was in full control due to RADAR, They knew WHEN & WHERE the enemy was coming. Remember terror bombing ended WW2 with A-Bomb on civilians, Hitler plan!

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 And during Battle of Britain the Luftwaffe had significant numerical advantage, in total the Luftwaffe had like 2 times more aircraft during the battle than the RAF.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz Yes, The Luftwaffe was twice the size of the RAF. Yet the RAF won the biggest air-battle in history and proved it was impossible to invade Britain. The MAIN problem during the Battle for both sides was Pilots, NOT Aircraft. Its hard to replace good pilots, It easy to produce more Aircraft. The Luftwaffe was losing twice as many Pilots,Aircraft they couldnt keep going. Radar proved to be a secret weapon and kept Britain 1 step ahead of the Luftwaffe and in control.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 Yes, but it wouldn't have been so bad if the Luftwaffe would have a proper leadership that would have predicted that and acted accordingly, instead of sending bombers to attack heavily fortified cities.

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz Remember it wasnt just the Luftwaffe who was attacking heavily fortified cities, The RAF-USAF also done the same and they kept making the same mistakes. Strategic bombing was seen as the key weapon.The Allies were shocked after the war, That Bombing was ineffective and the Germans could produce more under bombing than in peace-time, Albert Spere was a mastermind. The Allies "Terror Bombing" were 100x worse than the Luftwaffe.

[Ricokz]

@martynrobin121 .... Why are you arguing if you agree with everything I say? Can you stop doing that lol?

[martynrobin121]

@Ricokz I am not "arguing". I am just saying, that the Luftwaffe the RAF,USAF used the same tactics. Terror bombing was seen as WMD and all sides saw terror bombing as key to victory. All sides had there problems with leaderships and trying to be effective force.

[MrSmartie109]

the germans would probably have won the battle of Britain if they didn't start to bomb the British cities instead of keeping concentrated in destroying the RAF 

[KubisPL]

The fact of preparing attack on Coventry was well known by Allied HQ. Becouse Poles broke enigma and gave the technology and mathematic schemes how it works for GB in the eve of world war 2. But allied HQ did nothing in order not to burn their enigma source of information.

@randypicklesanchez, thank you fo agreeing with me mate,I can't stand it when aremicans say that shit, it was of course an Allied Victory,not one countries'.It was after all the "Ultimate team effort" if you like. Brit & US tropps stood shoulder to shoulder with each other all over the world to defeat an evil and indiscriminate force unlike anything seen before, we should congratulate and praise each others efforts,not blurt out ignorant bullshit like that.Seems many yanks need a history lesson.

[preemptivestrike20]

@poweranabols09 The United States played a larger role in World War Two than the British. This is something many Brits cannot accept since pride to them is more important than the realities of history. It seems that many Brits need a history lesson.

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: And the Americans need to learn, that they did not win the war alone, if it weren't for the Brits, Canadians, Polish and of course the Russians, they wouldn't have won anything

[preemptivestrike20]

@priman0cte The pacific theater was won exclusively by the power of the United States. You're point is incorrect.

[preemptivestrike20]

@preemptivestrike20 your***

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: The pacific theatre was won, because you dropped 2 a-bombs (Don't get this wrong, i would actually have done the same thing, if i could have saved a million of my own soldiers and end this war for good....). But you say, that pride is more important to them, than the realities of history, how about your misplaced american pride: "exclusively by the POWER of the United States"... i mean: *yawn*... Maybe, you were proud nation once, but nowadays you don't hesitate.... [1/2]

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: [2/2] ... to bomb a nation or 2 further into the stoneage just to get your hands on a few gallons of oil.....

[preemptivestrike20]

@priman0cte I don't agree with the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima so your comment doesn't apply. As for fighting Islamic fascism, don't sound like an idiot by making excuses for them. The US doesn't target civilians, that is what the terrorists do. Also, oil is critical for the world economy. It shouldn't be the private property of a genocidal dictator who uses the oil revenue on a nuclear program and armaments.

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: Making excuses for them? hahaha, good one. No, really, believe me that i was one the first to say, that the americans did the right thing by sniffing that idiot out in his rat-hole. I'm merely criticising the motives. If it wasn't for the oil, the US wouldn't have sent anyone over there. They don't care about the gassed Kurds or anything, they just used that, the WMD's (wich were never found, because there never were any) and 9/11 as an excuse to convince the public.

[preemptivestrike20]

@priman0cte Chemical weapons are the poor mans WMD's and there is no doubt about Saddam's nuclear ambitions and programs. The US administration was stupid to only focus on this one issue as there were several other good reasons for intervention in Iraq. After 9/11 it became crystal clear that host nations to international terrorists should be demolished. As for stupidity, I'm afraid that your comment about bombing a nation into the stone age for oil was indeed very idiotic and defamatory.

[preemptivestrike20]

@preemptivestrike20 For a 3rd party opinion I'd recommend the video "war and empire debate" It may sway your opinion. 

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: But nonetheless true. Saddam never had any ambitions about a nuclear weapons program. After Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran, and therefore no longer could be used as a sort of shield against it's neighboring country -the former USSR- it was deemed a new kind of Nazi Germany back then. But because The US government couldn't justify landing troops there, in front of the US public. So they turned to Saddam, outfitted him with weapons, radar control systems [1/2]

[preemptivestrike20]

@priman0cte "Saddam never had any ambitions about a nuclear weapons program."

-That sealed it. You have no idea what you're talking about. Another stupid comment on your part.

"why didn't you take him out the first time.?"

-If it was up to me I would have.

Also, the US provided Saddam with less than 1% of his military equipment that was used against Iran. But the US is the only country blamed. Isn't that interesting.

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: I give up. You're just another citizen, brainwashed by the media, with a typical american "We-are-the-rulers-of-the-worl­d"-complex.... I pity you....

[preemptivestrike20]

@priman0cte And I pity you. You are the typical conspiracy theorist, anti-American European who believes everything your anti-American media feeds you. Enjoy living in fantasy land.

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: [2/2] ...a LOT of money and so on... To invade Iran, by promising him, that he could keep a certain percentage of the oil-fields. Saddam failed and then turned against the US, for not helping him, resulting in the first Gulf War in the end. Since you're obviously american, answer me this one question: If your true motive was to spread freedom and democracy there and/ or helping your "ally" (bwahahahahahaah), why didn't you take him out the first time.?

[priman0cte]

@preemptivestrike20: Oh and by the way, insulting people just shows your insecurity or -even worse- your stupidity and doesn't make your commentts more valuable or factual.

-- on Germany, same method of carpet bombing cities and places of strategic/industrial value. I dont really believe that Britain could have defeated Germany solo becos of the difference in manpower and at times equipment, BUT, I do believe that Britan would have held out, these ppl, especially the 'working class' had REAL grit and kept smiling when all other nations couldn't, Germany for example. Thats why I hate these yank pricks mindlessly blurting out 'WE SAVED UR ASS!' . Bollocks did ya!

[randypicklesanchez]

@poweranabols09 i'm american and i hate it when my country men say ignorant things like that. this war was an ALLIED effort. no country could have won the war by themselves.

[poweranabols09]

@ The Modern Rock - u should be called 'The Modern Cock' mate, because your talking shite! Britain was of course of HUGE importance to Hitler and Germany's success in europe and thus the world over. Hitler himself did not want to go 2 war with Churchill or Britain, when all other eurpoean forces such as France and Italy had either broken under the wiermarcht and luftwaffe or joined forces, good old Britain stood firm and took a huge battering , which we were also continuously exerting ----

[TheModernRock]

England was not of great value to Hitler, if he wanted Britain to fall, and if he was to deploy only half of the forces that were distributed to eastern front, which is almost 2 million, England would be overrun in a matter of days. Hitler's lebensraum plan didn't include England nor France, he attacked France only because of the vengeance for the WW1.

[mnpd007]

Attacking the Soviet Union in the east while still in deadlock with Britain in the west was the great mistake of Adolph Hitler. Britain alone could never have defeated Germany. Hitler had it all, and the 1940 map of Europe could still exist in 2010.

[Vaitor666]

Attacking the USSR while still having the british was the great mistake of Hitler.

He should stick to attacking 'em until having them out of the equation, by defeat them or wearing their spirit down and making them negotiate a treaty or something...

He had luck in the Battle of France with his sickle cut movement thru the Ardennes, luck is always rare in war....

Thank the gods for his stupidity and megalomany...

[wachaufeuropa]

@Vaitor666

God doesn't exist.

Only Money, and usually Jews have that.

[n8tivguitar]

@wachaufeuropa jelous?

[TheGoldStandardBoy]

@wachaufeuropa Yes because the Jews in the ghetto look like they have a lot of money don't they? The poverty in the ghetto was unimaginable so don't talk shit.

You stupid cunt.

[Vaitor666]

attacking USSR having the british still fighting was the great mistake of Hitler. He should stick to bombing Britain, at least to the point its population spirit wears down, make 'em surrender or negotiatiate with him...

He had luck with the sickle cut movement through the Ardennes, luck is always rare in war...

Thank heavens for his stupidity and megalomany...

[Wa7cher999]

@Vaitor666 He might have won the war if he didn't attack the USSR and Japan didn't make the stupidest mistake ever by bombing America. Thanks Christ he didn't,

[n8tivguitar]

@Vaitor666 the only way the nazis would have won the war against the bolsheviks are britain was from a jap invasion and even if he did win this delusion of a hitler world is false the japanese where ten times more powerful on sea anyway and in those days thats what you need...that my opinion and thanks to the allies im entitled to that yaaa.

[Dullborn]

Very nice thus far...I did not know about the singling out of the French African prisoners, although I am not surprised..as for you below who are at each others throats, watch this again and see what war gets you regardless of race, religion and nationality

[OletBrasiliasta]

and now history repeat itself and the judes are doing the same wall in westbank.

[socials10reallysucks]

This documentary puts a face on history; It makes you morn and hate the dead of the past.

[99gates]

Goering looks like he put a lot of overtime in with a fork and knife...I doubt if they could of hung him even if he didn't poison himself....

[DanielTuason]

some of the actual footages are originally soundless editors added sounds to make it more presentable for viewers

[KoSoVaAnGeL]

@DanielTuason..But they made it really good.

A very good docu

[0509killer]

@DanielTuason your point?

[ABhaim]

@DanielTuason

true, true :)

i saw the behind the scenes of this series and they demonstrated that on the sounds of machine guns throughout the episodes.

[anyalivecompt]

@DanielTuason Indeed... I'd say ALL the sounds we hear, such as explosions, planes passing by and so on are "home made" sounds (if you take a good listen, you'll easily notice that some of them are even in STEREO, LoL).

[dennis19472356]

@Asdahar Fuck you you retard, go blow yourself up in a suicide attack you stupid fuck!! don't be so fuckin' disrespectfull fuckin' muslim

[fah369]

For the fuck's sake stop yapping about the Muslims or anything alike ok.This is not a Muslim debate or video.You fuckers always bark about Muslims, why don't you go and continue your stupid life.

[macdrian]

@Asdahar eliminated no, stopped yes. They are committing war crimes in the middle east. But, you hurt your own cause by saying ignorant bullshit, so you will be crushed out by people who learn from their history. BTW the Warsaw ghettos sound a lot like the Gaza Strip, all walled off and shit.
