'Britain would have had to have withdrawn from the Falklands' if the United States had cut off the aid, said Lehman, Navy secretary from 1981 to 1987.

This man has never seen a sentence he couldn't start with 'Thus'. Fantastically detailed content.

I have seen almost every video out there on the Falklands War. This Part 2 has presented the most detailed discussion of the land warfare "I have ever seen" and included deserved credit to the Argentina troops who fought well under the circumstance. I also don't recall Exocet shore batteries being mentioned in other documentaries to name one of many new facts learned. Outstanding work! - It is my belief that the Falklands are and should remain British and its people deserve to be left free to live their lives in peace. Let's pray that another foolish war of conquest doesn't happens again, as the troops are the ones who suffer and die the blunders of unwise politician.

As a participant in the Falklands war, I do agree with many of the comments that this is a good depiction of the war as i remember it and better than most unqualified documentaries that reply more on sensation than fact, so well done. My war was aboard the cruise ship [troop ship] Canberra, and I was a medic and POW guard. We also took them home to Argentina after they surrendered and i came back from the war with the most unusual war souvenir , a signed thank you card from the enemy!

This is fantastic, absolutely superbly done. If you want the detail that 2x 4 hours can offer - nothing on TV could ever come close to this. 8 hours - all content, no filler, no recapping, superbly made and narrated. Thank you.

This is another example of superlative research combined with an enviable capacity for narration. I am most impressed with your evenhanded depiction of both the Brits and Argentinians, illustrating the courage and valor of both sides....something far too rare in histories of the Falklands. Thank you sir for your outstanding work here. You have substantially enriched my understanding of this complex war...

First of all, thank you for the upload! Second, I've noticed that The Ultimate Guide to Nuclear Weapons was gone from the channel. Is there a chance it's going to be back? It is hands down one of the best documentaries on the history of nuclear weapons. Third, is there a Patreon or something we can donate to? I'd be glad to contribute to the channel.

Terry Peck's stories appear in a few books but i feel like theyd easily make a book on their own, incredible resolve and determination, lots of close calls and a love for his island, his kelpies and the men that liberated them.

I normally don't repeat comments that others have left, but these 2 parts are a triumph of modern documentary. Thanks you so much.

I would not have believed i'd be so keen to go through 7 hours of content (part 1 & 2) but i couldn't not hear it all. So compelling was the delivery. Well done.

Dude your stuff is excellent. Thank you for providing us with this

A lucid, eloquent and detailed account: exceptionally well researched and presented! Doug

Amazing detailing. Long form videos dont get as much engagement on youtube. This is common knowledge. But thanks to you for giving us this and not worrying about engagment metrics and views!

Been waiting for this since the day Pt1 came out. Was WELL worth the wait. BRILLIANTLY, and most importantly, objectively laid out in beautifully constructed detail. You should be rightly proud of yourself for this series and that comes from an ex RMC ( although Falklands was before my time it's events, failures, victories and lessons played a massive part in my own career and our learning at all levels).

Thank you for your fantastic work on these documentaries. This war has never been so well described. Outstanding.

What a beautiful video. The quality of this stuff literally brings a tear to my eye.

Thanks!

Part 1 is a superb achievement. Been a busy Saturday so I only just noticed part 2 and I’m really looking forward to it now. Thank you for this amazing channel. Regards from Brisbane.

Phenomenal two part series. Thank you so much!

I finally caught one of these vids the day it came out! Always enjoyed your stuff & learned a lot about some of the more niche battles in the Pacific. Can't wait for your Ukraine/WWIII/US Civil war 2.0 docs! lol

Absolutely engrossing, brilliantly presented, well researched and as usual, a benchmark in military history presentations.

Amazing, detailed account preserved hopefully forever on the webs. Well done.

Thank you for this awesome video, so many hours of excellent quality content on a war I don't know enough about.

I never fully appreciated just how valiantly the Argentinian military forces, some of them conscripts, actually acquitted themselves. This war, brief though it was, was a far more close-run affair than I had been led to believe previously.

Yes, sure... the "brave" Argentine recruits fighting against sheep and soldiers in jeeps, what a way to laugh, every time someone insinuates that the Argentines were brave I personally take it upon myself to inform them that the Argentine landing on April 2 was by surprise and without prior declaration of war... every time someone insinuates a supposed Argentine "bravery" I refer them to seeing the audiovisual record of the Argentine Chinook flying at low altitude over the houses to cause fear in the civilian population before and during the taking of the governor's house, the example of the photos of the Argentine LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles trying to block the way of people with shopping bags is also valid... I will only say one thing, if I had a aircraft carriers, with their respective Chinooks helicopters and LVTP-7 amphibious armored vehicles, so even I without having military experience would be "brave", but that supposed bravery would disappear the instant the owners of the invaded lands with weapons similar to mine came to present me battle... 😂😂

Looking back, after Conqueror torpedoed Belgrano (ex USS Phoenix) and the US (Haig) back-channeled intel to the Admiralty the strategic impetus was always north beats south.

Excellent content which didn't show any bias. It was a great video & the description of the war itself fills in a few gaps. I had 6 relatives & 1 friend go into that conflict & all came back. My friend was with 2Para at Goose Green & I could not imagine even when he told me years later about it on what it was like.

This was a good documentary. 😊 Thank you for your great work. War is a terrible thing. For all the good it might have done Argentina, they may as well have saved themselves the trouble, and spared many men.

I enjoyed this, very nice work. My only suggestion would be to include a compass rose or northpoint on your aerial photos, so that when you are referring to compass directions they are easy to relate to the vision.

Both this and part one were absolutely fantastic. The best and most comprehensive story of the conflict I've ever found

I remember being glued to this as a teenager, at this remove it's surprising to learn in detail just how close it could've been. Thanks for the content

Thus, the best documentary on the subject. Historically correct and scientifically deep. Thank you.

Appreciate the content! Can we get a look into the Australian defence landscape soon!

This is so much more even handed than the UK coverage ever was, even 40+ years later. Kudos for documenting the bravery on BOTH sides, and the foolhardiness amongst some on the British side.

Only found this channel recently but I love it …. Keep up the great work !

Unbelievable that Jones ended up in charge of an infantry battalion. No coincidence that the attack was successful after the 2iC took control of the battle.

I served after the Falklands but would say this. H and McKay is a famous bloodline. 2 PARA were blooded in Ulster and the passage south so they were adrenaline-oomphed (medical term) towards Argentinian slaughter. Appraised from afar H had probably become mad but the objective reality on the ground is more vital, so judgements should not be made from afar with 20/20. In the end, Para made vital differences.

I can't believe it's taken me 3 months, but I'm finally clicking go on this bad boy! 🎉

I spent some time in the Falklands in the late Nineties and learned of the "action" taken by the locals to scare the Argentinian troops. They explained by drawing there hand across their throat that the Ghurkhas would cut their heads off. The Argentinan troops deserted the positions facing the Ghurkhas.

You're my favorite youtuber man holy shit these are the best.

This is excellent thank you. One comment. A dug in enemy takes 3 to 1 advantage minimum and ideally 10 to 1 advantage to beat.

The claim Argie officers were permitted to keep their sidearms for protection against their own men is another stubborn British myth as Brigadier-General Mario Benjamin Menendez explained to British authors Michael Bilton and Peter Kosminsky in their book Speaking Out (Andre Deutsch, 1989), it was part of the deal, conditional surrender-terms ironed-out by the Argie commanders that let them not renounce their claim to their beloved Malvinas, keep their battle flags, etcetera.

General Menendez in that book also confirmed 601 and 602 Army Commando Companies contested British platoon-sized fighting patrols around the Murrell River area, forcing many British Paras and Commandos to retreat and capturing much enemy equipment and weapons in the process.

By far the best documentary of the Falklands War....congrats👋👋👍👍

Those Vulcans blow me away, I've heard they were used in War games. A simulated attack against NY city in the USA. They got through TWICE despite the USAF knowing an "attack" was coming, subterfuge & radio jamming, radar kerfuffles. Two nil pretty good.

I am so excited, I set aside everything I'm doing (short of driving) whenever Hypohysterical uploads :)

I hit LIKE right away. I know it's going to be great.

Dr H^3 has delivered... and down the rabbit hole I go.

In 1982 the Falkland's had only 5 miles of paved road all around Port Stanley, so additional vehicles were of little us unless 4x4.The first action of the Argentines was to change the side of the road you drove on.

Thanks for the excellent part II and conclusion. Love the detail that you never get in the typical 12 minute KZread videos.

Outstanding work! Incredible level of detail you gave on each phase of the battle, I had no idea there were so m any separate battles to the conflict. I joined the RAAF in Jan'82, this kicked off shortly after. I remember the sinking of the Belgrano, the loss of the Atlantic Conveyor and the fires that routed the RN aluminium ships bombed in harbour. Although it was a relatively small war, some pretty amazing feats were achieved, and appears there was a lot of luck on the British side at times. The loss of the Chinooks on the Conveyor was a massive logistic loss for the foot soldiers. The logistics to carry out the Black Buck raids to put one bomb on the Stanley runway were nothing short of unbelievable. I didn't know they had a Vulcan rip off the refuelling nozzle and have to divert to Brazil. Thanks again for your wonderful research and storytelling, keep the great work coming mate!
