[StreamlinedCorp]

jew propaganda

[go2mikerenzi]

take a trip to Vrindavan, visit the poor there, then tell me about Krshna being anything.. been there, done that

[HuskerSeaofRed]

Really really enjoyed the footage! Thank you!

[JuanchoMan]

lol at the religious claptrap in the description

[micros45]

Many Countries lost Many Men/Women during WWII.

[beezyb42011]

Right now.

[beezyb42011]

Protect a cow.

[fargonbastedge]

Interesting hows theres very little history about how the arabs in north africa "fought hard against the foreign invaders".

Could it be that islam and nazism ideology is brothers in arms? lol

[g36c1]

the german army take americans prisioners too in Africa

[lasalleman]

But I don['t want toknock the Brits. They stood alone against the Axis from 1939 to about 1942, when the US really started fighting. All free people owe a debt of gratitude to the Brits for standing up so well and so long.

[Mass7507]

@lasalleman I think Brits without US help couldn't do anything against Axis forces.

[TheShart1234]

the first battle the US fought against the Americans got their ass kicked in. look it upThe Battle for the Kasserine pass

[diverdown48]

To listen to you people the Americans were not very good & did little to win the war. So go ahead live in your fantasy world & hate us. We are the only super power.

Right now NATO is attacking Lybia. They are crying because the US will not commit it's military & are about running out of ammo & supplies. We Americans are tired of fighting your wars with our money & military. You don't like us so the next time someone starts kicking your butts, don't call us, we damn sure wont' call you

[hamrite]

Lovely propaganda....! The only way the north african invasion could happen was with good intelligence from competent agents. No American , French or British provided it. It was mainly a polish officer group which informed of all the forces in Morocco , Tunisia and Algeria. After landing the US took a beating and very progressively went to face the 88's of the Afrika Korp, exhausted by lack of ammo and fuel.

[diverdown48]

@hamrite The Africa Corps was the same exhausted lacking ammo & fuel that Monty beat in the east. Where you get your info on the Polish officer corps would be interesting. It is one thing to make up things that sound good but are just fluff. The Free French put up a good fight but were finally beaten & surrendered.

The Poles fought bravely throughout the war & should be honored . Many a brave American gave his life in that war. How many of you jerks have ever been in the Military?

[hamrite]

@diverdown48 1985, French Forces in Germany, Freiburg. Then the reading of nearly all of Rommel's archive; an uncle that constructed the defense of Bir Hakeim. Had a conversation with one of the main officers of the afrika korp: Colonel Rainer Kriebel. And you ?

[diverdown48]

@hamrite The information concerning where the allies got intelligence coming from the Poles came from German sources? How would the Germans know what the Poles were doing? Blechley Park had an Enigma without code books/charts given to the British by the Poles at the beginning of the war. I agree intellegence came from this source. Within 10 months left in the war U505 was captured by the US Navy with 2 enigmas, code books/maps with grids giving a clear understanding of German messages

[hamrite]

@diverdown48 the info cc the polish intelligence system in casablanca and north africa was released many years after the war. Neither the US and British intelligence wanted to admit that all of the info came from a very small group of smart polish officers actually trained by the UK (without much hope) and with UK transmition material. The head of the group was completely camouflaged into society, as a seed and agricultural product salesmen network, travelling between morocco and algeria.

[diverdown48]

@hamrite Good. I know the Poles fought hard & should have the highest praise for their many & various actions in the War. I take issue with your statement that the US & Brits didn't want to acknowledge the assistance. Maybe there were some who didn't. The fact they did not state it is not proof they were denying it. You seem to slander these two groups while prasing one, they all worked together.

1 of the saddest Polish stories was the murder of over 5000 Polish officers by the Russians.

[hamrite]

@diverdown48 I am not a systematic critic of the US and Brits during the war, specially when both my family (half French half American) and my wifes Family (liberated in Normandy in 1944) saw their history so influenced. I am a methodology critic and dislike lack of reality. The comment of this film is towards 10th graders it seems, while the truth of it, is you point out so well, an effort of many, in the same direction.

[mjeshaw]

@diverdown48 The British got the first 3 rotor naval Enigma machine, complete with code books, when they captured U-110 on 9th May 1941, and the 4 rotor version, again with code books, when they sank U-559 on 29th October 1942. Enigma was broken anyway; the code books just made the daily task quicker. The capture of U505's books in June 1944 was of little importance, but the Enigma cryptanalysis operation was a collaborative effort with contributions from the Poles, British and Americans.

[lasalleman]

According to some US veterans, American and Brit troops didn't get along all that well in North Africa. Don't know about the rest of the battle theaters. US had so much and the Brits had limited supplies of food and medicine as well is poor medical services. Monte did a pretty good job in the eastern front in N. F. Mostly on is own. US made a mess of the first battle of Kasserine Pass. US airpower finally did the Germans in in the West.

[diverdown48]

@lasalleman When Monty took over the Afrika Corps was low on fuel, overstrected supply lines what little supplies they had. The British Army had been fighting the Germans for a long time. With overwhelming armored vehicles, supplies, new tanks and air superiority he took the glory of his predecessor who should be the one getting credet for beating Rommel. Monty wound up in the right place at the right time to take all the glory.

[BigAndTall666]

Yankies copying goebbels, it´s getting sooo tiresome...

[MrEvanMorrison]

I think we can count the battle of Britain as Germany's first Defeat

[MrShadownoise]

My dad, English, Royal Artillery 74 Glasgow Regt, was there from 1940-45. Up and down the entire length of N. Africa, he didn't enjoy it one bit.

[mylomaster]

I'm 92 years old and i was there, as a medic, too young too see war, but I learned a lot.

[BigAndTall666]

US did shit and has NEVER paid their "Leage of Nations" (later to become UN) debt, self absorbed war mungoring moochers are all they are. They really like their wars just not on american soil, wankers!

[MarokiSoussi]

French north africa ? you must be kidding its maghreb fuck france they have nothing

[marcobagut]

@MarokiSoussi Erm...It's a video from the 40's...You know...Also, since you wanted independence, why don't you get your aarse working and out of Europe? If not, we can come back...

[MarokiSoussi]

@marcobagut no you can't if you try you will be fucked we are warriors :) ask spanish and french soldiers

[carlman1987]

great video. like i wrote on another video "its nice to see the usa and germany fighting side by side thats for sure." this is when war was war but who likes war? war stinks. long live nato and out allies. never again will we fight each other unless one of us is takin over by ZOMBIES! haha. its something what one fool of a leader can do to a country.

[P1B1U1H1]

@carlman1987 This marvelous collection of color film should be sheer delight for everyone with an interest in WWII. There are, by the by, videos on Monty. As for Stalingrad, YouTube has performed a great service by providing a plethora of material about the eastern front. One regret is that all the German propaganda videos are not displayed with English subtitles. Also, much more should be done as respects the Pacific theater. That, of course, represents an American bias.

[Bromberg39]

It´s just dumb hollywood propaganda!

[HeartGoldMVP]

Can someone give me a list of all the Africa Corps Armored Vehicles? I know youtube is filled with experts.. so far i have Horch, Wspe, Steyr, Kblwgn, Sdkfz's 251, 232, 234, 231, Marder III, Sdkfz 8, and 7, Pak 40, Pak 43, BMW motorcycle, Panzer I, II and III and IV and Schwimmwgn but there is more im sure of it

[mjeshaw]

@HeartGoldMVP The Tiger I seems the most obvious omission from your list so far, plus the Sdkfz 222/223 and various Sturmartillerie/Sturmgeschutz, You might try the Axis History forum for more authoritative information regarding precisely which sub-types of PzKpfw,(Ausf A, B.,C...etc), and other equipment, (including specific desert modifications) were used by t;he DAK at different times during the campaign. There was necessarily a lot of make do and mend, including some extemporised SPGs.

[mjeshaw]

Typical US documentary in that the entire North Africa campaign is reduced down to Operation Torch and subsequent US involvement in Tunisia. In its defence, I can only hope that the original title was more specific. Also, about the only genuine colour footage is the modern day interviews of the surviving veterans. Most , if not all, of the rest has just been colour tinted on a computer.

[DaManzMoney]

The French were wrong in 1940 anyway why wouldn't they give there ships to the Britts what are the agianst the allies? Why would you wanna scuttle them so the allies are weaker?

[carlman1987]

@DaManzMoney one of the reasons was b/c the brits opened fire on some french ships at port.. after the germans took control.. so they wouldnt fall in german hands. some french ships part of the free french under de Gaulle did fight on the allies side in fact a french sub served with the allies. the vichy french was pro german they had to otherwise the whole country would of became nazi controlled. now the free french they were pro allie and they controlled part of french africa

[carlman1987]

@carlman1987 in 1940 when the nazi took france the leader at the time sided with the germans so france wouldnt be under total nazi control. well part of the country did become under nazi control and the other vichy (pro nazi) control which brought north africa under vichy control. all of france came nder nazi control when the vichy french lost north africa. de gaulle fled to london and formed the free french(pro allie) which controlled part of africa a small navy and freedom fighers in france

[lucius1976]

Yeah yeah, the americans came and the Germans got their first beating, seems to me like another one of those US-centric distorted reality documentation. Before Torch their was Moscow 1941, Stalingrad 1942, Tobruk 1942 no americans were present there!

[kreepeemann]

@lucius1976  Hey don't be jealous. Cyprus has contributed much more to humanity than the U.S. ever will. I mean, there was the time....uh...that you.....well never mind. Ha ha, Fuck Cyprus!

[mjeshaw]

@lucius1976 There were also the 1st and 2nd battles of El Alamein in the same theatre of operations, without USA. Axis forces got beaten both times of course and were already retreating before Operation Torch began, but that just doesn't fit with the "Hollywood history" of how the good ol' US of A won the war single-handed. There's another documentary on YouTube about Arracourt where a US vet, with a straight face, claims it was "the biggest tank battle ever. I can't think of any other." ROFL

[spritemd]

@mjeshaw no kidding must not have heard of kursk :P not to mention the first engagment with the germans in the casareen pass they got there asses handed to em

[darkcanuck]

@mjeshaw Commies don't count right Mr.Kursk?

[Noodles37UK]

@mjeshaw Lol! You mean he forgot about Zitadelle 43? 

[g36c1]

@mjeshaw SHUT UP YOU FUCKING FAT YANK SCUM.

every person in the world wants to kill your people ScUMBAG

[mjeshaw]

@g36c1 Go back to your fantasy world, you sad Trekkie onanist, because reality is obviously not your thing. You're frustrated that girls won't speak to you and laugh at you behind your back, but that's no reason to go spouting your ignorance and bile here. When you grow up, perhaps you'll learn about geography and cap locks. If you get off your lardy ass and find a menial job, you might even earn enough to pay a woman to take your virginity. Till then, try not to embarrass yourself any further.

[g36c1]

@mjeshaw I dont read the shit that you write you fucking yank scum bag

[OswaldvonWolkenstein]

@mjeshaw The History Channel sucks at history.

[Kev4001]

@mjeshaw

naturally they overplay their role, its only natural

however you forget to mention the American steel, engines, cannons, ammo, and fuel which enabled the Brits to win Alamein ;)

[SashaVedernikov]

@lucius1976 No one has said they were there,It is not the soldier's fault - They fought just as hard as a Soviet soldier.... As well we pulled through Stalingrad and Moscow because of America's war effort sending us weaponry of all kind and food

[christof139]

@lucius1976, Massive amounts of USA equipment were used at Stalingrad (all wheel drive trucks etc. that allowed larger amounts of USSR Inf. to keep up with the armored spearheads that cutoff the Germans in Stalingrad), & in Africa. Thousands of technicians were sent to USSR & Africa to help train allied personnel in the use & maintenance of the equipment. Sorry, it takes time to train an army & transport it thousands of miles through U-boat infested seas. IOTW, you believe your own BS.

[P1B1U1H1]

@lucius1976 Oh come now. All admire Monty, and you know it. This happens to be the story of the American landing. That's why it stresses the American effort. There's all sorts of stuff about the storied eighth army, one of the world's great multinational forces.

[christof139]

@P1B1U1H1, Yes, the USA bashers are always out in force on Boobtube, & neglect their own egocentric media on Boobtube. All one has to do is watch the USA propaganda films hailing & extolling the efforts of all the Allies including the USSR to know how we felt about things. I am old enough to have served with WWII veterans & we were never taught that the USA won the war by itself etc. There are a lot of immature & stupid punks on Boobtube.

[marcobagut]

@lucius1976 besides, the americans were very inexperienced and fought badly, being blocked at Kasserine by a fascist sqaudron (who were using a one shot at the time rifle) and the rests of a battered German army... Ahahah they really look stupid when they do this!

[diverdown48]

@marcobagut Our tank, the Sherman was not well armored or gunned. It took a beating from a well trained Africka Corps which had better tanks.

In the end, all the allies used Shermans, the Brits, Russians et al. The German Army was not defeated at the time of the Kasserine Pass. They occupied Europe & were pounding the Russians.

After all is said and done, the US was one of the worlds 2 Super Powers. We are still here, the other super power is not. Adios Soviets. Sour Grapes.

[Honorloyalty88]

@lucius1976 exactly, not to mention that the Americans got their ASSES HANDED TO THEM by the Germans after they squared off for the first time, and they didnt get through until they used heavy air and sea bombardments 

[scetdellak]

@lucius1976 they did the same in ww1, came at the end of it and it and pretended they sort the all think out ;-) lies dong walk a long way

[MKWestberg]

@lucius1976 The US was there in spirit! And material, equipment, resources, ammunition, and weapons! British troops firing US bullets. Soviets mounting Katyusha rockets on the bed of US trucks. The US was in this war from the very beginning, and was the economic, manufacturing powerhouse that contributed more than what you're giving them credit for.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@MKWestberg

wtf?!

Lee Enfield firing US bullets! Are you fucking kidding me?!

[thecommotionsmusic]

@LordGeorgeRodney You should probably look up the Lend-Lease Act...

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@thecommotionsmusic yes Lend lease.

It means we give Americans things in return

oddly that is what Lend lease means..

[MKWestberg]

@LordGeorgeRodney Ahhh half right. It means countries knee deep in World War II (the UK, USSR, ect) could receive war materials (ie bullets) in exchange for usually monetary compensation. You really didn't take the time to read this document did you? In fact, famouse WWII tanks were given Civil War general names by the British because they were the first to use them in the war (The Sherman, Stuart Light Tank, ect). So what are you trying to argue again?

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@MKWestberg do you know anything about Lend lease? Monetary ? wtf?

The US implemented a new method of providing military hardware and shipping to Britain without the need for monetary payment.

That is what lend lease is get it... ie information about military hardware enigma, radar, bases in British empire,, Roosevelt was interested in the defence of US territory

[MKWestberg]

@LordGeorgeRodney By monetary I was implying the leasing of bases through rent that would provide monetary subsidies. While it's true that the US didin't have the UK pay for any of billions of dollars worth of goods, the UK did pay for the supplies that went past the Lend Lease act (left over supplies). Either way, what does this have to do with your original statement. You sneered at the fact that the British used US bullets during WWII, and then reaffirmed that they rec'd military hardware?

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@MKWestberg Lee Enfield is a British rifle with British bullets

: ) I never actually denied the US sent supplies.. lol but so what if they did

thanks very much ...

it isn't a big deal unless that country who is supplying is actually using them..

In 19th century Brits supplied the world with munitions & loans.

[MKWestberg]

@LordGeorgeRodney The statement was in reflection to how the US didn't do much during the war and just came in the final moments. The US provided the industrial capacity to beat the German Reich whose only industrial rival would've been the US. Whether or not the US provided the .303 cartridge to fight the 3rd Reich, I suppose we'd have to see some ship maniests. :P

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@MKWestberg

That will be interesting ..

The US did do a lot in the war from 1942 onwards & its industrial might accelerated after this that there is no doubt..

[zitadel1]

@LordGeorgeRodney I am informed that prior to 1917 the british in support of their allies in various european wars gave them the money. ie to Fredrick the great to raise & pay for an army we didn't have to send.

In early 1917 the Americans entered the war without an army to send so they raised the money with domestic war bonds then lent the money to the the allies. this was the first time that inter govenmental loans were instituted. It was so we could buy the munitions and crosses.

[rone9292]

@lucius1976 its a doc about AMERICAN involvment in the war so it would naturaly talk about AMERICAN troops and thier battles, if it were about the British it would focus on thier actions.

[HuskerSeaofRed]

@lucius1976 We had already sent Rambo in but that's still classified information.

[Riyun72]

@lucius1976 The Australians even were the first to beat the Japs in a ground battle before the US in the pacific but they seem to think they were the only ones there.

[VIadmirLenin]

In front it stated Atlantic, and german war machine advancing on czech?

[bravo45]

Haven't even finished the first part, this documentary is worse than $#!t!!!!!

[Movegas1]

World war 1 was a merchants war. America never would have gone had the Huns not bombed our commerce vessels.

[mrprodigy83]

@Movegas1

Because they sent supplies to the UK. The US was warned not to intervene. But they thought theyd knew better. Stupid.

[akula971]

First Amphibious landing by the Allies (Brits & Canadians) at Dieppe in August 1942. Narrator is full of shit

[dafydd67]

@akula971 This is typical of the Americans 'we won the war' . The Americans got their arses whipped at Kasserine Pass . It was the 8th Army who then had to go in and for political reasons had to save the Americans !!! Typical bloody yankee bullshite . And yes you're right Dieppe was before Op.Torch...

[cheeky577]

pile of shit propaganda video. waste of time.

[walkertexasranger33]

@cheeky577 whats wrong witht he video. from what i read of others it seems that it makes like the US did all the work?

[curseofa5r5a]

jajaj that was "propagandistic"

[USMCM249gunner]

wow...even I have to call bullshit on this

[Wahrscheinlichsager]

LOL

what a stupid video ^^

who believes this mutilation of history ..

[fadyb56]

how stupid it is to always make the us look like the guardian angel and everyone else is bad and evil

whats worse is people actually believe that crap!!!!

[NovaScotianBlackbird]

Not putting aside the American contribution during WWI and WW2 because they were HUGE, but you didn't come into WW1 until 1918 ( almost war's end) and you didn't come into WW2 until 1942. Other allied countries had been at war for three years by that time. Most of the action in North Africa was carried out by Commonwealth soldiers and their enemies...not by US troops.

[dafydd67]

@NovaScotianBlackbird Actually the American contribution did not have a significant role in WW1 . The Canadians & Anzac troops played a far greater role , not that the yanks would have you think that !!!!

[DaManzMoney]

@dafydd67 Thats right when they needed something done right the Canadians were called and the job was done

[the82spartans]
