Damn radio stations would never play this enough one of the few songs from the old days I still like...

I loved this song these guys were cool...

The development just never ends...

In the 70's I used to go through Bonsall often when going to San Diego; not 1 in a 100 people even here in Southern California knew where it was...

All of our little towns, from Ventura to San Diego merged or being merged into one gigantic disgusting strip mall....

The truest thing George Bush said in his time in office was when he addressed joint session just after 911.

Tony Blair was in the gallery.

Bush said "America has no truer friend than Great Britain", thunderous applause. Standing ovation. For Blair. For the UK.

Dont care what anyone says it was ...

I remember watching the news in the arparthied era.

All the people were being shoved into police vans by white security cops.

Now all the people are shoved into police vans by black security cops.

Go figure...

That little rat-faced Goebbels sitting next to Hitler was one of the worst, him and his freak-zombie wife....

Wow, Hitler actually smiling & having fun...amazing.

In the interval between Germany's invasion of Poland in Sep 1939, and the Japanese attack in Hawaii in Dec 1941, a period of just over 2 years, this president walked the line like no other in getting this country ready for what was coming.

He flirted with every sanction up to & including impeachm...

Amazing film footage; did these men get back to their country as promised?

@1965cyclone39 Best wishes to your dad glad he made it. I agree an invasion would've been horrendous....

Unbelievable; is Christchurch one of NZ's oldest cities?

RIP all who died, and greetings from Southern California.

Was this their own guy they executed...?

@omnioasis Good point; in both World Wars they also took a page from the US Civil War and used trains extensively. I've heard that trains were a top priority for allied aircraft...

In 1945 my mom hated Germans; she saw too much of their Air Force; got bombed right out of her home.

Anyway yrs later here in California she's in college getting her art degree and her professor is this former Wehrmacht Captain.

Spent his entire service on Eastern Front.

He was a great artist, a ...

I just read about the Battle of Camerone in Mexico. Those guys in the Legion were so brave the Mexicans let some of the survivors live.

Was that a Libyan Khaddafi plane or a NATO plane?

Amazing. I read once, not sure if this true or not, that after Pearl Harbor Canadian Gov was aware of possible Japanese landings on their west coast.

They formed a unit of trappers, hunters, all guys who knew coastal rainforest Canada, fieldcraft, living off the land, and many of them were armed ...

Oh well tough shit for them; how far away is the helicopter from these guys?

In the old America it was not uncommon to storm the local jail, put a pistol in the face of the local law and ask if they really wanted to die for the scum being taken out of jail by force for justice by the people.

I see everyone's here from the pizza commercial...beautiful music.

@8LyJu8 We didn't "establish" anything! You are Argentina, your people would never have condoned such a thing.

Argentina makes it's own decisons and did so back then...

Never seen a gun that loaded that way; are the cartridges loaded into that tube and then the loaded tube is inserted?

Western feminist meets the real world...

Amazing, particularly the onboard footage. Also it looks like the ME262 had a high landing speed.

At 3:46 there is an image of German soldiers sleeping. What are the cylindrical containers they all have on their belts? Was that to hold a gas mask?

Amazing images....

If Argentina wants to put another 700 of their citizens in the grave the UK will oblige them....

I'm not from Britain so I don't really know how the political system works there but just say that if David Cameron had suddenly decided that reducing the RN was insanity, could he have ordered a stop to the decommissionings, on the grounds that it put UK in imminent risk, or something like that?...

No coincidence Argentina's recent actions are simultaneous with UK 2nd disbandment of its carrier force. I'm old enough to remember the 1st time they scrapped their carriers.

It is almost certain that Arg. would never have invaded Falklands if the old Ark Royal had been available, in service.

Th...

pretty funny; been backpacking the San Gabriels/San Bernardinos/San Jacinto's since '71 and never seen one yet...

So what exactly was the point here...? And some of those "soldiers" looked a bit on the chubby side.

Did anyone survive this...?

Oh well tough shit for that guy driving...

It's hard to overestimate the quality of the footage shot during those San Carlos air attacks.

They were the first images of their kind, (air attacks on a fleet) since the Pacific War & the technology between 1945 & 1982 had advanced so much.

That said, RIP all British & Argentinians who died on ...

As I understand it, this weapon caused great indignation in the German Army of WW1. They had never faced shotguns until the Americans arrived.

Apparently they tried to have the weapon classified as "illegal".

Seems to me the Americans were just being practical about war in the trenches...

Amazing footage. I suppose it's just possible that one or two of the men who appeared in this video are still living...

All those Germans are dying because of the crappy film they got suckered into....

Look at the German soldiers @ 1:30 their camoflauge looks very similar to new designs today...good video.

Is the area where this battle took place still, at least more or less, the same as it was 69 years ago?

Nice beach reminds me of Coronado...

I loved it when he said about California, "I was there when you came".

Priceless.

My family's native to California since 1861 and I can't stand this carpetbagging bitch. When the political power of Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties is broken then and only then will California begin to climb...

Crap I wish I had been in that Professor's seat when that old relic opened his mouth...

When I was a little boy this piece would more or less hypnotize me my mom thought it was hilarious....

Good video especially close-in detail.

My uncles served in 99th & 87th divisions respectively and both faced this tank in WW2 in Europe.

Is this about the Arica situation? The city on the Pacific that was once Bolivian and is now Chilean?

The Arica situation was in the news recently. Does Bolivia have plans to try and retake that city?

@sass225 Yeah, Rommel did so much with so little. jmo but I think what really made it impossible to win was the German-Italian command could not gaurantee his supply lines.

He pushed for Malta to be elminated; the Italians wanted to also, but from what i've heard, Hitler said no because of airbor...

What is the soldier @ :30 wearing on the left side of his uniform tunic?

What became of the German soldiers buried in Russia? Were they re-interred after the war?
