  • respect to the wehrmacht

  • Yeah ____________  HOTDOCUMENTARIES,COM

  • 100,000 us casualties in 6 weeks... wow, I didnt know that

  • i really hate how the nazis are the good guys here

  • @MrStrontipis they are not the good guys you idiot, they just had fascinating millitary for its time, fighting basiclly the whole world. That is why even the Allies respected Germany.

  • @1MuchButteR1 doubt that allied soldier had a lot of respect for jew killing nazi, mister know it all

  • best germans panzer Hitler put in worst place for tanks

  • It's one thing to look at the blue arrow on the map being moved toward the German lines and another thing altogether to actually change the direction of an entire Army on the move. The logistics of that could I would have to believe, potentially be a real nightmare. Shows how well lead and how well that Army worked together. And to do it in that short a time frame and then immediately strike the enmy en masse was pretty spectacular.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd pay good money for a gas can like that. Imagine hauling that thing out at your local gas station...!

    Course I don't want the one with the bullet hole in it...

  • @Justinbilings. They developed Jets, missiles, superior tanks, the first assault rifles, the largest battleships, the most effective submarine fleets, and some of the most successful tactics. If you're watching any of this, you'd know that fuel, terrain, and restriction of commanders were the limiting factors, not technology.

  • Did anyone else catch Tom Hatfield call him "General Patent"? Haha

  • Germany started two world wars in the 20th century.. lost both of them.. killed countless civilians.. uh huh really at the forefront of military and economic power..

  • @Justinbilings no, the first world war was actually started by Austria, the Allies killed civilians too and if you would look for statistics, you could easily see the extend of Germany`s economicy in comparison to other countries.

  • Germany started two world wars in the 20th century.. lost both of them.. killed countless civilians.. uh huh really at the forefront of military and economic power..

  • @Justinbilings they didn't start not even one

    Russia mobilised first in World War 1, thats as good as a war declaration because you get your entire ready to fight.

    And in WW2 France and Great Britain declared war on Germany and turned the conflict about the German-Polish area in a world war.

  • @naam123lol lol.... ok i agree about ww1... but ww2 no germany caused it, the germans attacked a french and british ally, they also were going to attack france russia and uk anyway.

  • germany started two world wars in the 20th century.. lost both of them.. uh huh really at the forefront of military and economic power..

  • so come on give the amount of aid africa sent to europe ,,, bwaa ha ha ha africa the bread basket bwaaa ha ha ha ya sure ,,, you just dont know do you ? either that or you just like making your look foolish because that facts dont match what you are saying at all ,,, now go look these facts up and LEARN ! ,,, and your a moron if you think the US didnt fight in the war your ignorance is astonouding ,, now go learn !

  • so itachitahi tell us how much those selfish americans gave greece in 1949 ,,, and how much greece paid back ,,, than tell us how much those selfish americans gave last year to greece , oh and one other thing greece joined nato the same time the US did im sure to help every one else right ? bwaaa ha ha ha um no, you have no idea what history trulley is and what americas part in feeding your greece, with out the us you would be typing german , actually thats not true you would nt be here

  • @lesterclaypool1 u failed!!! epically!!and ill tell u why.the truman help that had been sened in greece was A LOAN! u gave 35 billions and we gave u 225 billions back!check trhe national bank of greece for sources.also usa is last worldwide at providing aids(food clothes money etc etc)while EU is first.check it also online in main organisations of human rights and freedom and see that usa is last and eu is frist.U SAID WITHOUT THE USA ID BE TYPING GERMAN! BUTRUSIA WAS THE FIRSTTO REACH BERLIN

  • @itachiitachi1946 are you kidding me ? you think europe actually sent supplys to greece ? well thats perfect ! and completely ignorant of the truth ,, GO LOOK IT UP and butrusia would nt heve done any thing if the US didnt bomb germany ,,, i guess you never heard about lend lease , thats no suprise

  • They are not kind to Patton. He was not unconcerned with casualties, he was very concerned. That is why he wanted, after breaking the initial crust of the German defensive front, he always tried to penetrate as far as possible.to kill and capture as many Germans as possible in the mobile war at which the US was superior.

  • Nazi's almost destroyed most of Europe and some posters are admiring their fighting skills?....USA and Russian should have wiped Germany off the map...........

  • @19913heavenshallburn. Yeah I guess but it's probably what killed General Patton the one thing he wanted was to parade into Berlin with his Sherman Tanks. The Russians did lose 20 million ppl. That's right you can look it up 20 million.

  • @lastardriver What killed Patton was a car accident, before the invention of the seat belt. The Soviets lost 100,000 killed, and several times that more in wounded taking Berlin, committing two "fronts", groups of army groups.

  • vormarsch means progress, not attack.

  • You Americans and your tv shows never get bored of hailing yourself :)

  • @GermanMilitaryPower There is good reason real Americans love the USA. The USA has healed, fed, and freed more people than any other nation on Earth.

    The USA is not perfect, but I cannot think of a country that is better. Also, just because the USA is the best it does not mean that other nations are not great.

  • @GermanMilitaryPower Most Allied killed were Russians as they tend to use tactics of rushing that work well sense they had manpower. Also, the US 101st and 82nd airborne division basically hurt the Germans more. German infantry preform poorly compare to their American and British counter-part. The German depend too much on their heavy tanks that are not idea for engaging infantry. As well the Sherman VC were equal to the Tiger 1s and Panthers. Despite having 30mm less armor than them.

  • Not to mention The strategy for the Allies was to outnumber the enemy, for every 1 german tank we made 10 shermans etc, we outnumbered the enemy 10 to 1, 54 diffrent countries engaged Germany and its allies for 6 years the world was held at bay by the Wehrmacht, until the eventual defeat. In a way however modern day germany is at the forefront of military and economic power, To understand history, you must understand all sides of the war, Not hold onto rhetoric of "We're better".

  • @GermanWarRemembrance right thats why the germans lost , THINK all your wishing and hoping does not change the facts , no go look up the facts do it its all recorded and easy to find i know you wont buts thats fine , as well you will not give the stats on any of these which i have listed why ? because the stats say what i have listed and you  cant back up what your saying because it nt the truth thats a fact ! africa did not ship millions of tons of food because they didnt have it

  • @GermanWarRemembrance

    yap, if we look at the maps, how big sovietunion, usa and their smaller allies was and how small germany, no wonder... nobody could hold off this wave against one country.

    and we did it for 6 years !

  • @GERforGOLD well i would argue that most of russia is ice and that germany had the advantage of training and equipment until the USA joined and the russians moved their industry east to fight the germans. im suprised also that ww2 lasted so long too.

  • @GERforGOLD On the 6 years stuff: Germany prepared for war for some years before 1939,and then did *surprise butt sexs* to other countries that weren't really planning for any war anyway.

  • @GERforGOLD

    and get raped thru out the cold war, divided, and finally the wall is broken down.

    what an achievement!

  • @deestilo dont be envious, its not my prob. that your state sux :)

  • @GermanWarRemembrance Agreed friend... German army was very impressive

  • @GermanWarRemembrance People think massive numerical superiority was only a Soviet strategy but of course you're right - it was also the tactic of the Western Allies. Really, numerical superiority is probably the preferred approach of any army, if they can accomplish it. Smaller forces can and do defeat larger ones, but it's the exception rather than the rule, and makes a lousy guiding principle for anyone to try to follow.

  • @GermanWarRemembrance They are ahead economically but technologically, the US army is still the Most advanced in the world. The Germans own the best tank, but we helped them, and we own the Second best, The M1A1 Abrams. We also have the best navy and some even say airforce. We have UCAV's, The Comanche, Apache, AC-130, and most of all, the A-10 Warthog, the best air- to ground aircraft in the world.

  • @TheDARIEN54321 really u think a-10 is the best air to ground but how about su-34 and 25

  • @MajeD7Sama Every historian and commander agrees the A-10 Warthog is the best air to ground vehicle.

  • The true facts of the war most of you arent clear of.

    Look at the statistics, not speculation, 20% Of german forces were focused on the western front, 80% was focused on Russia, the Kill to death ratio of the war was basically this, For every 1 dead german soldier, 5.3 dead allied soldiers, for every 1 dead german tank 7 dead allied tanks. The victory for the allies was costly in lives, and resources. The famed 101st airborne division that is so fabled took a high casulty rate.

  • @GermanWarRemembrance The 101st was saved by the proximity fuse. 

  • One country did not win WW2. All the allies did their part. Although, America provided the most money for the war. Also, the USSR had the greatest sacrifice of 23 million and inflicted the most casualties on Germany. Everyone did their part, though, so stop saying one country was more important than the other.

  • @finnwesjohn "UK gave us time US gave us money USSR gave us blood"

  • @ImperialGuard9001 That is a great quote. where is it from?

  • @finnwesjohn The USSR could have won the war by its self (as long as Hitler was in charge), but it would have been much more difficult and costly for them.

  • @kraigthorne i dont know. if the blitzkrieg in russia would had the armies which fought in africa and the west maybe moscow and the important industry would had fell to germany. on the long term russia would win but the keyword is the blitzkrieg here which made it possible for germany to conquer whole europe and nrly russia on only 2 years.

  • @jimtheripper Remember the key to Russian victory in World War II was the fact that Hitler had a hand in stratagy. Without Hitler Germany could have defeated all three Alies. With Hitler Germany could never beat the USSR.

  • @kraigthorne while hitler sunk germany at the end of the war, he was really the reason that the invasion of france and scandanavia worked. his generals scoffed at the thought of a quick moving attack, thinking it logisticlly impossible. he knew that using ww1 tactics as they suggested would not work, so he came up with ambitious plans of attack that defeated france's outdated army.

  • @gobabygo90809 The head of the German Army General Staff Franz Halder was the person who planned the invasion of France. Hitler only gave him the green light after months of changes and stalling (by the leaders of the German Army).

    Also the French Army had better and more tanks than Germany had at the time, but the Germans used something that had never been used in Europe for millitary use and that was methamphetamine. They gave it to their foot infantry and their horses and as a result

  • @kraigthorne as a result the German Army was able to move further and faster than any other non mechanized army ever. As a result of this the Germans were able to defeat the French and English, because they did not expect the German non mechanized army to move so fast.

  • @kraigthorne LOL meth didnt win the battle of France. Superior tactics did

  • Comment removed

  • I went there a few weeks ago!

  • wonder if the same german army during 1940 ardennes attack deploy in battle of bulge 1944 where german had superior number both troops and luftwaffe. Could allies repelled those gigantic attack?

  • probably not in the ardenes, but eventually they could have regrouped into a proper defensive line beynod the ardenes and then slowly push them back or even encircled them. that being said, if it wasn't for the logistical issues, it's debatable whether the allied forces would have been able to stop the Ardene offensive itself.

  • @MatoVuc

    Yeah, during 1940 ardenes offensive german had more than 3 million troops with luftwaffe had 5,638 plane fully operated..

    Imagine if this the very same army deploy during battle of bulge. It must be fair fight and the result i think germany will won,.because of their superiority number and very skillfull army. they will split the british and US army and captured the antwerpt and force the British to surrender, recaptured paris and put the american back to england.

    What da beautiful

  • @Jomokb76 If the 1940 German Army and Air Force would have faught the December 1944 US Army in France the German Army and Air Force would have been torn to shreds. In 1940 the best tank the Germans had was the PZ IV and it was no match for the M-4A-1. Also the P-51D's would have dominated the Me 109's that the Germans had in 1940.

  • @kraigthorne

    German can used flak 88 to deal with any allied tanks. Luftwafe could avoid figter to figter combat and just targeting bomber.

    beside more than 3 million battle hard and very high quality troops availabe where allied just had 840,000 at that time.

    even with allied air superiority in 1944, german still manage to reach mause river with just mere 500,00 troops. So what 3 million troops can do?

    They will split the US and Bristish army capture antwerp & force both of them surrender.

  • @Jomokb76 First off in 1940 the German Army was not as battle hard as they were in 1944. Also in December of 1944 there were over two million American solders in Western Europe. The main reason the Germans were able to reach the Mause river is that they had Tiger and Pz V tanks. WIthout those tanks the German Army would not have made it ten miles. Also the US had the Proximity fuse and it was the main reason the Germans were not able to over run the 101st.

  • @kraigthorne

    Yep they not battle hard but they are eager to go into battle with high morale compare to the troops in 1944.

    Remember barbarosa, no less than 1 month german army captured more than 300,000 square miles of russian land and million of russian army.

    Now they can do the same thing during battle of bulge. American maybe can slow their progress then when all 3 million troops pouring into american line, they have no chance to stop it

  • @Jomokb76 You also have to remember that in Barbarosa the German Army had all the fuel they needed. If the German Army had the fuel in 1944 that they did in 1940 the Battle of the Bulge would have been much harder for the Americans and Brittish, but without taking Bastogne they would not have made it Amsterdam (because the American and British Air Forces would wipe them out from the air. Remember in 1944 US had over 8,000 B-17's 9,000 B-24's, 10,000 P-51's and 9,000 P-47's.

  • @kraigthorne

    Well think that no fuel problem here.All availabe very well

    Just imagine 3 million fresh,fanatic,highly skill troops with superior tectic, flanking manuever and very good commander blitz into american line where most of them just recently arrived in europe to rest in the ardens sector

    They can take bastogne in single day and wipe out all amercan forces all along the front where still shocking by those suprise gigantic attack

    Remember, air superiority alone coudnt win the war

  • @Jomokb76 You are right, but think of this. Imagin if the American Army that invaded Iraq in 1991 invaded Normady June 6th 1944. The First Marine Division, the 82nd and the 101st would have been the only ones who would have been able to hit the beach, but the AH-64's would have been able to take out ALL the German tanks as well as all other heavy weapons the Germans had. Seeing as how the AH-64 is protected from 20mm cannons the German anti-aircraft would be useless.

  • @kraigthorne

    How could ur compare 1991 technology with 1944? Its too far ahead of the times.

    Its like to compare british Mark V tank in WWI with german king tiger in WWII. Its not fair fight.

    Well u can bring 3 milliom US army elite today to battle of bulge in 1944 but using 1944 weapon technology. And still those elite cant stop that german offensive as i mention b4 (3 million highly skill, fanatic and very professional troops). Non could stop them. Not even formadible russian red army

  • @Jomokb76 Seeing as how I was part of the 1991 US Army I can speak on the subject with great knowledge. I would have to say that the German Army would not stand a chance. The reason for this is that the skill of the US solder in 1991 was much greater than the skill of the German soldiers in 1940. The one thing that would insure that the Germans would lose is the US artillery.

    "I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know our artillery did." General George S. Patton

  • @kraigthorne

    Nop German army was the best in the world,.They already trained vigorously to face major war for a years. Not to mention waffen SS division. Watch red army, how easy german to destroy them when they also already had experiance war with finish n train for a year

    Do u think US army today ever train for major war?

    Those 3 million US army soon find thmselves suround by menace skills of german army and start to disorientated n force to retreat or surrender. That what wil happen 4 sure

  • @Jomokb76 Seeing as how I am an expert on World War II and an expert on the US Army 1987-1991. What makes you think that you know more about the subject than me? Have you spent over 20 years reserching World War II? Were you ever a member of the US Army?

  • @Jomokb76 lol. Hundred of thousands "best" German couldn't even took the Baston from a single American division. The fame 101st American airborne.

  • @Jomokb76 The lone 101st division stall the "mighty" German army. If, 3/4 of the Western German army can't even defeat a lone American division. What would happen with the entire US/UK army.

  • @916ppl The 101st never stalled the Germans on its own. Its job, along with 3 other airborne divisions, was to open the road for the invasion force. The 101st landed on june 6th at midnight. By the end of the day, it was already joined by the first elements of beach-landed US troops. Not to mention that the American had it easy compared to the Brits during the battle of Normandy. The bulk of western german forces were constantly under pressure by the british push to Caen.

  • @Wesh67300 In Baston the 101st was pretty much alone as the meaning units from the 2nd US army was small. However, they did a number on the German. Over 100 German tanks and several hundred German infantry killed despite being outnumber. The British and Canadian did pretty much of the fighting in 1944. As they decide to chose the open fields (operation of Germany Western main forces) of Northern France while the Americans took the natural stone walls filled valleys of Southern France.

  • Greetings everyone! My name is Tim and I am a military historian. I have just published a book all about the Battle of the Bulge. It is entitled: THE ARDENNES ON FIRE: VOLUME ONE. I provide extensive background information on the massive military buildup prior to launching their incredible attack. I then describe the very first day of this epic military campaign in tremedous detail. The book has 101 photos and many excellent maps. It is available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.

  • Let's suppose the Germans had reached Antwerp. Then what? The Allies are going to nice and politely let them in? Likely the Germans would have been held off and forced to start a siege or end up in bloody street-to-street fighting. Meanwhile, the weather breaks and the Allied air forces chew up the Germans. It would have meant an even greater defeat for the Germans.

  • patton was full of shit he couldnt match rommel or guederian

  • Nothing is mentioned of the allied air force onslaught when the skies cleared on dec. 23rd.

  • War is a form of madness where one of few men makes millions to do idiotic things.

  • it is very hard to win a war when the enemy dont quit n keep improving

    both on the western n especially on the eastern front.

  • americans when they landed in france fought inexperienced outnumbered german teenagers. most tough germen troops where in russia fighting. nothing to be so proud of...

  • Fucking British and ass screwd Fucking Americans were afraid, that USSR gona ocupy your Fucking Europe - and at the end of the ww2 Fucking Civilian Killers Germans were giving up to Allyes Without Fight - read for example "Tigers in the mud" And your Putton is peace of shit. While with Russians - thise Fucking Civilian Killers Germans were fighting to death.

  • @radiantrey wow thats amazing how you know all that you've stated you were there calling the shots get real & if you were there you had the whole picture guys that were there didn't know so how the fuck would you know somebody elses enterpretation perhaps & patton was a superb leader you couldn't even come close in your entire life 1 10th of what he achieved patton was keen to the Ardennes before anyone else the 101st were very lucky for that they didn't need his help is fucking total bullshit

  • @Kilooscarromeo I am in the VFW and know guys who faught in the Ardennes and from what they have told me about the help they got from Patton is. They might not have needed Pattons help, but they shure as hell wanted his help.

  • @kraigthorne Patton just had that primadona presence with a very bad mouth from what i know.Thank God, Patton was on our side. He made mistakes but not many, I would have liked to serve in his army than most other generals. Hard fighting man that knew what he was doing had the proper wit but, was the richest General. Bradley wouldn't have been that bad also. I'm from Canada ,I'm proud that my country men served but pissed off at some of our Generals & Officers.

  • i dont thikn so it gives very much SS people the didn`do crimes

  • my grandfather was at the SS he was killed by russian soldiers at the end. RIP!

  • @StanfourBoy Then your grandfather was a murderer.

  • @Fr33man1988

    fuck you man so evryone who fought in a war is a murderer

    or how come that from 140 germans captured at normandy only 60 made it to gathering points???

    americans and russians are no better than germans how many native ameriv´cans have the us killed so far??? so fuck you

  • @spoiledkid999 No you stupid fuck.......let your balls drop first and then learn how to properly read a sentence, the guy clearly stated that his grandfather was in the SS. They were the death squads for the german war machine. Think before talking out of your ass and making yourself look like a complete ass. Every SS member was a murdererer and that's a fucking fact. So a big fuck you for you.

  • @Fr33man1988 If you are going to be critical of someone else's facts, you need to make sure that your facts are correct. Not all SS were death squads, in fact by end of the war 60% of the SS were ethnic non-germans, and after 1943 most new SS were conscripts. Dont get me wrong most of them were not worth a flaming piece of 2 week old shit.

    take it light

    --KB

  • Thats a lie....list your sources please.

  • If the Germans where so strong , why couldn't they take over small ass England? It's cause they where inferior and because they had lame ass allies like japs and guidos.... take that SS soldier and shove it up tha fuerer's arsse

  • @xCaptxCrunchx because most of the people that funded hitler...were international bankers from england....

  • The German Army in WW2 was the best army ever in the history of the World but they were simply overwhelmed in the end!There is no question that had Germany fought 1 on 1 or even 1 on 2 war against any country in the World then they most certainly would have won but Germany alone fighting against like 10 or even more countries that was just too much even for the great Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS.

  • @Estmann111 The best army ever would either be the Greek (alex the great), Roman (holy roman empire, Pax Roman), and the Mongolian. Germany is not in the top 20+. What evidence do you have to support your claim? Their equipment, training, leaders, morality, dedication...what? What makes German ww2 army so great?

    take it light

    --KB

  • @Estmann111 you might be right about the army ,,,, but the luftwaffe could hold a candle to the USAF

  • @Estmann111 this might be so for the german army ,,, but not the luftwaffe the USAF had them hands down

  • @lesterclaypool1 usaf had them? u know that usa in ww2 all that did was to provide some supplies in uk and in france.actually usaf established officaly after the end of ww2(i know about the pacific war with japan so dont mention that).my friend.plz try to be judgmental and objtective.luftwafe lost 80 of its planes in the invasion of crete(greek island).they lost the majority of their fighters by royal air force.and at omaha dd day actually only 35000 usa men participated while other countries...

  • @itachiitachi1946 USAAF during WWII meant United States Army Air Force.

  • @DonMeaker whats the point of telling me that?and btw usaf was created in 1947......just in case u didnt know.....

  • @itachiitachi1946 And the USAF was created from? US Army Air Force,itself created from the US Army Air Corps. Fixed wing aviation began in the US government as part of the US Army Signal Corps. The US Army began creating aviation forces in the Civil War, and further, had its first aviation deployment overseas in 1898 to Cuba. The US built 12700 B-17s, more than any german fighter. And the US also produced 18,884 B-24s, with another 3,000 B-29s.

  • @itachiitachi1946 you seem to have left out a few things , such as 58,000 m4s 7533 m3s,12,856 m24s made in usa for britain ,830 m22 locusts made in usa for britain , 22,743 m3.m5 british tanks made usa ,1436 m26 persings made usa ,572 m4 mortar carriers made usa ,3490 m7 priests made usa 1178 m8 howitzers carriers made in usa, 6708 m10 wolverines made in usa ,2507m18 hellcats made usa 1413 m36 jacksons made in usa, 4088 half tracks m3 made in usa,20918 m3 scout cars and more lots more

  • @lesterclaypool1 do u see that u agree with me? all that military equipment had been sented to europe as supplies!!! u think that americans were fighting in europe? lol.ameriocans fighted in ardennes and they were pinned down by german artillery.its immposible just 250.000 americans to have used more than 300.000 vehicles in europe(go check how many americans came in europe.just 256.000 )

  • @itachiitachi1946 no i dont agree with you at all as a matter of fact you need to look up the hellinic news, you find that theres is an AMERICAN SHIP being sent to greece as a floating museum in piraeus, you know why ? and you also missed the point of america sending so much gear to europe ,oh and look up when american first entered the war you find dec 8th 1941 america declared war on germany , look that up oh and with out the us china and turkey would have fallen as well to the japanese

  • @itachiitachi1946 oh and over 16,000,000 severed in the armed force from the US in ww2 ,,, LOOK IT UP THEN TELL ME THEY DID NOTHING ,,, OH AND DID I MENTION THE PLANES ?

  • @lesterclaypool1 while other countries sended more men that that(my country sented 185000 men at d day)so when that happend usa borught in france and in uk transport and fighters and even bombing planes.charles de gaules was comanding the planes(flew by french)and he was the general of the main tank force of france(using the american sherman)so he tried to free france from the west going to the east.so when an american says that he freed europe (and france)by himself or when he says that usaf...

  • @itachiitachi1946 I will also note that De Gaulle, though commanding the unsuccessful French counterattack in 1940, and an unsuccessful action in West Africa, never again had a command position, rather, being an important politician. Le Clerc commanded significant French tank forces, and refused to serve under De Gaulle. General de Lattre de Tassigny commanded French forces

  • @lesterclaypool1 that usaf won the luftwafe i think of some things:either he doesnt know about history and he thinks that all the rest r uneducated and have no idea what they talk about and they suck,or hes brainwashed by that lame usa propaganda telling to every1 that usa did this and usa did that(even at 89's media were saying that usa won in vietnam war)maybe ur very proud of ur nation and thats why u said that about usaf.no ofeence i dont want my comments to offend u.but i wanted to tell u..

  • @itachiitachi1946 But the US did win in Vietnam. After the US withdrawal, North Vietnam, in violation of their agreement, invaded and defeated the south. So the record is: Vietnam vs France, Vietnam won. North Vietnam vs.US and South Vietnam, North Vietnam lost. North Vietnam vs. South Vietnam: North Vietnam won.

  • @itachiitachi1946 well im not offended but what does fact have to do with fiction ? nothing and the numbers are there forget the media just read the actual numbers and see what is recorded ,,, simple as that

  • @itachiitachi1946 you are not offending me ,, but i think you missed the might of the air planes of the us , the p47 its self did more damage than all the allies planes before it combined ,,, look it up

  • @lesterclaypool1 w8 a sec.ill tell u this.usa was in was with germany at 1943!!!! my country greece had population 7.5 millions back then and sended 570.000 men in war.while usa had 200-210 millions back then and sended only......256.000 men.usa just sended some supplies in uk and in france.i checked about the plane u said and i found that in wikileaks that ppl magazine had huge reports about that plane cause it was a way 4 propaganda.im not judgin u nor im...

  • @lesterclaypool1 ....nor im trying to offend u.but the facts show this.usa sended supplies and later was barinwashing the world that they fought and freed europe all by themselves.its ok for u to be proud of ur country..but its NOT ok to twisting history and saying what ever u want cause u just love ur country very much.

  • @itachiitachi1946 well actually im not american and you dont have your facts or numbers right at all ,,, and americas not my country actually im canadian and i do know history ,, you also left out the brits saving your country greece oh wait they didnt after the war did they ? no they didnt but who did ? ,, you also left out some facts about how the US saved greece from becomming communist in 47 and you also for got to mention about the US feeding greece after the war look it up

  • @lesterclaypool1 oh yes ive forgot to add somethign else(plz look also my earlier replies to u).middle east and countries of north afrika were also helping europe by providing them food and some supplies(clothes and stuff)cause europeans had fought germans and italians in north afrika and middle east.after the end of ww2 truman wanted to ask his influence worlwide and he did this: he sended more supplies in europe and he negotiated with saudi arabia to be seeling oil(barells) in dollars!

  • @itachiitachi1946 so africa fed europe,oh ok sure that why food drops were made by the us to save holland right ? and thats why great britian was starving right ? and as i said earlier that if the us had nt sent food to greece there would have even been more die from starvtion in greece , as it was ten times the amount that died in japan from the atomic bomb died in greece because of starvation you really think africa is know as a food producting country ? go learn look it up

  • @lesterclaypool1 later greece which had suffered so much from ww2(as the rest of europe)thought that the allies must have an organisation for protection.truman didnt like that but eventually greece made it reality and later that was great fro europe and usa and canada also.(im talking about the creation of nato)the sterongest alliance on earth(until now)

  • @itachiitachi1946 well as i said if it was nt for the US greece would have starved to death ,,,, ten times the amount of people that died in hiroshima from starvation died in greece from starvation ,,, and who stepped in ? really who ? britian ? no italy ? no spain ? no france ? no ,,, than who ? only the usa ,,, go look it up do it ,, and nato uses the us as much as the us uses nato ,,, you need to go and learn ,,, go look it up

  • @lesterclaypool1 and i also forgot to mention that usa uses nato for its own interests and its a way for them(usa) to ask influence and trying to full countries that usa care about them.but the truth is that udsa cares only about its own interest.its very possible for usa even to declare war in europe(u may think that its stupid but history have showed that u naver can be assured about something)

  • @itachiitachi1946 really so the us only cares about its self ? well then give me the amount of greece dollars that greece has given to the us, for that matter tell us how much the us is getting from any one plaes give the amounts, then look up how much food and materials the us gave this year, i dont greece giving money or any thing else to the flood victums of pakistan or the hati earth quake survivors, you wont know why ? just list the billions greece has given this decade in aid

  • @lesterclaypool1 MY SECOND reply to u.NEVER FORGET THAN USA didnt free europe(why u say that all tyhe time?) usa just sended some supplies in france and in uk.U SAID ID BE TYPING GERMAN.....WELL LOOK NOW WHAT IM TYOING!!!ENGLISH!!! GETTING MY POINT?so suck t up ,shut up and stop bitching cause usa in ww2 in europe sended some supplies.never fought and never hepled any country.thats a fact and whaever ul say not gonna change history

  • @itachiitachi1946 and your second relpy only shows how ignorant of the facts ,, you say the US sent some supplys ,,, well lets put it this way ,,, america sent over 50 billion dollars in supplys in the fours years of the war and about ten times the tanks that germany had , THINK thats a little more than " some supplys " , now stop making your self look foolish , with out america as i said greece would have starved to death and your comment about africa feeding europe is pure horse crap

  • @lesterclaypool1 first of all usa NEVER feeded greece,.truman sended a loan to greece and as a result usa eanred BILLIONS from greece.put that aside secondly usa declared war to germany...2 years before the end of ww2.so when u say that usa sended 50 billions(u lied again) in 4 years of ww2 then u failed AGAIN.ww2 started at 1938 did u know that? usa declared war ongermany in 1942(many say 1943but thats not the point0so wtf r u tlkaing about?and afrika and midle east DIDfeed europe.educateurself

  • @lesterclaypool1 second reply to u:let me say it like this so ull understand it better.usa in ww2 was notnhing more than a mere little supply provider.so dont gimme ur crap cause ur wasting ur time.go say ur propaganda to someones else who has no idea about ww2.(and dont forget to educate urself about ww2.hoping that ull stop posting nonsences.)so that usa schools teach to kids? thats why the whoel world say that usa is naive and they know nothing rather than busting balls(lol)

  • @itachiitachi1946 ok look at what your schools teach you. to hate americans? many countries do implant a emotion of hate towards the united states in thei students.. and guessing by your name your some jap anime fanboy, oh wait the Us beat Japan. and u still say we probably did nothing in ww2. now go play your naruto fag

  • @itachiitachi1946 I don't mean to offend but while the extent of the U.S. involvement in WW2 is often over exagerated, it can be argued that the greatest contribution to long standing peace in Europe was the financial aid provided to european states after WW2, we're talking about hundredds of billions in cash, supplies, equipment, while all of this was done as part of their attempt to halt spread of communism as part of the Truman Doctrine, it's contribution to long standing peace is undeniable

  • @eireronin UR RIGHT! WE SAY THE SAME THING! BUT!!!!(and pay attention to that but) u know that truman doctrine was only a LOAN? u know....like the bank.when u go to a bank and u take money.so what was the result? usa lended money to europe and europe paid usa back giving to usa much more money that europe took from usa.also usa tried to make europe just a puppet during cold war.so the truth is that usa used europe and usa got money from that.that was the soo called truman doctrine.

  • @lesterclaypool1 The Luftwaffe was able to sortie exactly two aircraft against the Normandy landings. That is pretty fair domination, considering the hundreds of sorties flown by the USAAF.

  • @DonMeaker two aircraft ,,,, 2 and you call that fair ? ok now go and see who won ,,, or go see how many boats landed ,,, and that is not hundreds of soeties flown by the usaaf it is hundreds of thousands ,,, no my friend after the usaaf entered the war it was a different game the germans were running for their lives ,,, june 6 th 44 i believe if you look the allies grounded their aircraft ,,, look it up ! THATS WHY THE GERMANS HAD TWO / THATS 2 PLANES IN THE SKY

  • @lesterclaypool1 It is not supposed to be fair. Why could only two german aircraft sortie against the normandy landings? The Allies had bombed the German supply lines, runways, fuel stocks.The Allies did not ground their aircraft, but rather, resorted to daylight landings, so the Allied air superiority could have full weight, The Allied aircraft were fitted with special "invasion stripes" to prevent the friendly fire that marred the Sicily invasion. The US 82nd, 101st, and Br 6th arrived by air.

  • @DonMeaker i ask if it was fair as sarcassum ,,, but thanks ,, and those invasion stripes were aproved may 17 44 , and first made their appeareneces in project overlord  on 12,000 allied planes not two but 12,000 but thanks for sharing

  • @lesterclaypool1 The bitter joke of the Germans was, if the plane came in the day, it was US, if it came at night, it was British. If you didn't see any aircraft at all, that was the German Luftwaffe. After the attempted assassination of Hitler on July 20th, the German salute was officially changed to "der Deutches Gruss" but the real greeting exchanged was mutual cooperation in looking for US and British aircraft, "der Deutches Blick" the German glance

  • US was the only major power that committed troops to both theaters. Remember that Stalin not only signed a pact with Hitler to divide Poland (and only opposed Hitler when attacked 3 years later) but he also decided to enter the Pacific War with days left so the USSR could claim the Kurile Islands from Japan. What a hero to venerate.

  • I´m so glad we lost that war. deutsches reich, verrecke!

  • America came in at the end of the war, Germany was over commited and there was a big mistake on D-Day, Hitler messed up and didnt believe what was happening and held off panzers. America only took credit for fighting 1/2 of the german army, if Hitler never had invaded USSR then USA would have been smashed.Germans had atom bomb, but hitler was afraid of using it, and he was a nutcase so whats that sayabout USA?

  • @bigGaza1

    Hitler had a Atomic bomb?

    NOT.

  • @ghostdivision7 actually hitler did have have an atomic bomb... he just had no delivery system to get it anywhere by the time they completed it... also hitler knew that if he had used an atomic bomb ....we would have wiped germany off the face of the world....literally ..period

  • @wyattherb23

    1. Hitler intended to destroy Germany in the last month of the war. He considered it to be weak and it had to disappear. He gave a scorged earth order, that would had destroyed every factory, railroad installations, bridges, power plants etc. Many German commanders ignored these orders. Hitler would have had no objections to a Germany disappearing in a nuclear fire...

  • @wyattherb23

    2. The Allies had a larger science team (including Jews who had fled Germany) and they had to put up a whole industry branch to produce a few bombs in the first place. Especially the filter installations to get uranium 235 out of plain uranium where terribly complicated and large.

    Germany simply did not have the ECONOMIC power to build a fully functioning bomb. They might have had a dirt bomb, but that is amateuristic child's play, compared to a nuclear bomb.

  • @wyattherb23

    3. No way to deliver it? A submarine could easily sneak to New York and leave the bomb a kilometer or so out of the coast.

  • @wyattherb23

    There are no solid evidence that the German had an atomic bomb.

    Why do you think that the Germans who used the V1 and V2 rockets had no delivery system? They where the ones with the best delivery system.

  • I am in Poland and cannot directly access this film from this country.

    However if someone responds to a comment I make, I can access it.

    Rather odd that is.

  • I think that Sgt. Wilkins is right that his men's first encounter with the Germans was critical. The fact that the German spearhead failed to quickly overrun the American defenders threw the entire offense behind schedule. If one part of a complex plan is held up, everything meant to happen next gets held up. A delay of a minute or an hour becomes a delay that's days long.

  • Hitler focused most of his forces on the western front. Not to take anything away from the Russians. It's too bad General Patton didn't get to march into

    Berlin as he should have.

  • In December 1944, just over half of the Nazi troops were in the east. More troops were in the west only by the end of January 1945 and that was because the Soviets destroyed the Nazi forces in the Vistula - Oder offensive

  • From what I understand. Hitler deployed a bulk of his forces on the Western front. He didn't want the Allies(usa,uk) marching into Berlin. Doesn't matter. He fucking lost and the end result was a victory for the Allies.

  • No, I looked at this - there were more troops in the east. I dont have the exact figures on me now otherwise I would quote them. Of course the amount of divisions used does not reflect the quality of the troops.

    However there were far more Germans per kilometre in the west than in the east. Depends on the way of quoting them.

    Sometime in the future I will do a film on this on my channel. I mean to do an analysis of the situation at the beginning of 1945.

  • @lastardriver patton didnt march with his army into berlin because he knew it would be a pure slaughter house in berlin when allied forces entered the city itself, therefore the allies decided to just let the russians go in and take the major casualties, the russians suffered more casualties in the european theater then any other..ofc germany being the country that lost most men of all total

  • @kornek21 Patton was ordered by Eisenhower not to march into Berlin. The one thing Patton wanted to do. He died considering himself almost a failure because of this. yet he was and is one of the greatest military minds in history.

  • @kornek21 wrong man the russian lost more man of all we study that in middle school...

  • @lastardriver No. In fact mos of German Forces were in Eastern Front not in West.

  • @lastardriver hitler focused most of his forces at the EASTERN FRONT. at the western front only 30% of the wehrmacht fought. i dont know where you get your informations but their wrong. do you rly believe the germans wanted to have the russians at first in germany. germans knew that the russians would make payday so they forced nearly 3/4 of the army in the east.

  • @jimtheripper 3/4? US/UK took half in 1944-1945. They took already 20% invading Italy.

  • @916ppl 3/4 of the german army was at the eastern front so i dont know what you want to tell me with your comment? do you mean the land they conquered? because that would be no surprise when germany only hat 30% of its army at the western front^^

  • @lastardriver lol over 80 percent of his army was focused on eastren front. mr professor.

  • @lastardriver Riiight. Especially considering that about 75% percent of Wermacht was destroyed at the eastern front...

  • @lastardriver i think its okay that the russians got that honour. i mean, the us fought for about two years in europe. the russians were fighting since 1941, losing millions of men.

  • @1993heavenshallburn Also keep in mind that USSR started the war as allies of the Germans, against Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, England stood alone after the fall of France. Poland contributed the priceless ability to break German ciphers,

  • the U.S.A military the blood life of the end of the war they brought the man power the experience and the strategy to win American generals planed d-day American generals mainly Patton took Italy out of the war yes the British did a lot and fought very hard but even their leaders admitted at the end of the war that with out the Americans the war would have been much longer and may have been lost even the USSR agreed with that statement

  • @xMETALHEADx124

    i would like to expessively thank trhe united states of america for their glorious sacrafice for freedom. the lives of these young men were given so that i can breathe!

    respect.

  • @EClectic The only thing that the United States of America asks of foreign nations who we do battle on their soil is....... A Place To Bury our Dead! Nothing else,

    I was not in WW2 or any other war that this country fought in, so I do not feel that it is right for me to accept your thanks, yet I will for those who can not.

    Your Welcome!
