For the Grenada invasion in 1983 - travel agencies all around Fort Bragg were cleaned out of tourist maps of the island. And the first US military maps of the Island were made from a combination of photo-reconnaissance images, encyclopedia entries and tourist maps. I remember using a military map that listed the location of every hotel and tourist attraction. As well as getting missions to drive down a road and then report back where it went. Trivia note when the alert for the invasion occurred none of us believed that it was anything other than a no-notice emergency deployment exercise - until we started getting issued live ammunition. Then there was a mad dash for the dayroom because the TV morning news was about to come on.

The German campaign in Central Norway was hampered by the lack of proper roads and infrastructure rather than allied efforts. Norwegian roads between the main cities these days consisted of poor-quality dirt’s roads. April month is early spring or full winter in most part of Norway. The Norwegian Army was slowly mobilized and hoped for a serious allied help. The Norwegian army was disappointed beyond disbelief when they realised that the British army send porly trained territorial army units to their aid. Many of the British soldiers have just a week of training behind them and zero experience in sub artic survival conditions. They were slaughtered by the Germans in a string of battles around a small village called Tretten in central Norway. Most of them was killed wounded or captured by the Germans.

I had thought that it would be much easier to get the 1 Mio. subscribers The Great War had gotten ... but even the content, structure, episodes are far better than that of TGW before that did not happen that easy as I had assumed. Great episode again about a long forgotten war theatre ... what is the current weather today in the former landing zones compared to our pre summer days we have now in central europe? Season might have shifted a lot since then if you think about the snow questions and missing or wrong bindings. Last week north cape tempeartures had been around 0° C...

We'll get there!

Most surprising fact of this video: Indy is already 51. Thought for sure he was in his mid-forties at most.

Dude, I thought Indy was at least 32-35, good on ya Mate!!!

So I actually got some idea of what the map situation is like. I use the tourist maps that Arma 3 has and often use them to plan ops. It’s quite interesting though I suspect these are more detailed.

8:30 I knew something was weird about Indy, but *NOW THE PIECES HAVE FALLEN TO PLACE!*

It's amazing how unprepared they were

You have to talk about the Norwegian gold chase!!

6:18 if u just focus on Indy it kind of looks like Carton De Wiart is taking a seat on the infinite chair of knowledge

This channel sould have at least 2M subs! But I am sure it will get there soon

We hope so. Tell your friends about us!

Reason number 1 why Norway campaign was so badly initiated by the Allies is Indy's constant phone calls which are destroying logistics and communications

I really enjoy trying to guess how many phones will be visible on the set for each episode. I mean it's usually four, but every once in a while one or two will go missing.

an episode on my birthday never have i dreamed of

@@WorldWarTwo Thank you! Someone way back suggested that you pin those summaries under your videos, if you want more people to see them. But I can understand if you wouldn't want to, and I would write them even if no one saw them :)

The Allies in the Norwegian theater was a mess, I am from Namsos and the entire city was destroyed, nothing left standing and then the allied just up and left

You should all watch the movie «The Kings Choice» . Excellent history lessons about this subject ...

As the world fell... ...each of us, in our own way, was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy: Me... ...or everyone else.

No way Indy is 51! Wtf? I would say early 40s

A new WWII video on my birthday why thank you, you shouldn't have!

Thanks! It's a weekly struggle but it's worth it

and that folks is where the word "quisling" comes from :)

Indy looks so sad right at the end there.

Oooh De Wiart, I remember him from WW1, what a guy!
