Its the reason you see such an explosion in technology avaliable to the public between 1945 and 1975. There was such a large investment in R&D (Especially for the British and Americans who always had the upperhand in technology throughout the war) during the war it almost doubled the rate of technological advancement

I mean it's really not that simple, cruisers are better suited for fighting destroyers but still it's more like a well balanced fleet will beat a poorly balanced one. If you just send 1 battleship against a group of destroyers the battleship will probably be overwhelmed, as happened during WWII. And a single submarine also wont be a perfect counter to a battleship. Really the best counter to a battleship is another battleship. So what you need to do is create a fleet where you have battleships which can counter the enemies battleship, cruisers to keep your battleships safe and help with air cover, destroyers to further assist with air cover and to screen and hunt down enemy ships. If all of these work in tandem you can create an effective fleet which can use it's battleship optimally and keep them safe.

This makes me remember a book about WW1's flying machines. There it explained how any tiny tecnological advantage could have serious consequencies, like a system that made machineguns fire through the propellers at the right time and gave the pilots a higher kill score, or a tiny modification that made a plane more maneurable, or allowed it to rise/lower faster. Or a stronger engine that allowed them to actually carry guns, as their only purpose at the time was as reconnosaince, and pilots would be issued rifles as their only defence. One german plane was even forced to land as allied ones literally pushed it down to the ground. They were clunky machines that no one knew how to pilot, and were seen by the higher ups as tanks were seen in WW2: something new they didn't understand. Any new invention could give such superiority, but only for a short time until it was countered by tactics or some other tecnology. This is evolution at it's finest.

Essentially: One Side: We have a new Weapon. Other Side: We have a counter. One Side: Now we have a better new weapon Other Side: Now we have a better counter. And Repeat

Polish also build automated decipher system called "bomb" to speed up the process (manual decoding took 3 days). Polish build 6 bomb that work in tandem, however over time that become insufficient as German encryption become more complex and it required 60 Bombs. That wa beyond capability of Polish team at that time. Once they give the plans to British secret service, that work was continue by Alan Turing and his team.

The Germans did not as much "chose" to wage a submarine war as they were forced to. Building a fleet could take a decade, building a fleet capable of overpowering the Royal Navy would last even more. And of course, the British, who already had enough shipyards to build a big fleet, would have kept increasing their navy while Germany was building its. Germany simply could not hope to win a naval arms race with England so the submarine blockade (and the air attack that failed during the Battle of Britain) were its only shots.

You're an idiot. The Nazis built subs because they were difficult to detect and destroy and because they were disproportionately effective against large surface ships. Plain and simple. Anti-shipping fighter bombers were even more disproportionately effective and that is why the US built a carrier fleet. The Germans never did so because they simply never had the ability to even construct carriers without having them destroyed mid-construction. Not to mention large surface ships...all of which were built before the war started. You literally have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

The "special operations" you said the British used to get their hands on the enigma machine were actually copies constructed by the Poles and gifted to the British (and French) in 1938. The Poles had already broken the Enigma technology prior to the start of the War, using the skills of several brilliant Polish mathematicians, and had been listening to German communications until the Germans added some extra complexity to the machines (adding two extra rotors, which would necessitate 10 times the manpower of deciphering on the part of the Poles) which the Poles simply lacked the funds to overcome. The British worked off of the initial Polish breakthrough. To quote Gordon Welchman (who would become the head of the project to overcome German Army and Airforce Enigma ciphers): "Hut 6 Ultra would never have gotten off the ground if we had not learned from the Poles, in the nick of time, the details both of the German military version of the commercial Enigma machine, and of the operating procedures that were in use." Seems like you could have given a small reference to the Poles right there, given how critical they were to the Allied efforts to overcome the Enigma cypher, and how their tremendous role in this piece of WWII history is constantly overlooked for seemingly no apparent reason other than to attribute "single-handed" credit to the British for accomplishing what was in reality, a joint Allied effort.

Basically submarines at the time were really more of a "small warship capable of operating underwater" rather than full fledged submarine as we know them today. They had to operate mostly on the surface and submerge only if in danger, sacrificing over 50% of their speed while doing so. Furthermore, the U-boot captains actually preferred to perform torpedo attacks while surfaced, under cover of night, in groups (famous wolfpacks).

Fantastic video. Very well done!

0:56 "And the British lacked destroyers which could fill that role" How? The Royal Navy had more destroyers than anyone in the world. What COULD be the case and what you would be more accurate in saying is that perhaps the Home Fleet lacked destroyers and/or the British were spread out across the entire globe to the point that the amount of destroyers they could dedicate to fighting the U-Boats would be inadequate. But that's a very different picture than painting a picture where the Royal navy didn't have more destroyers than anyone in the war, which is the reality.

To win the battle of the atlantic, the germans had to sink allied shipping. The allies only had to prevent that shipping from being lost. The allies could use air power to force the submarines to travel submerged, where they were too slow to get into position against convoys. Escort carriers were the real game changer as they extended air cover for the entire length of the trip. A submarine that could travel as fast as a merchant ship while submerged would have been enormously helpful, but was never developed.

The British broke the enigma code, that's true, but they did not need an enigma machine to do it. In fact the whole point of the enigma machine was that the code was supposed to unbreakable, even if you knew the details of the machine. You should need the code books. Fortunately for the Brits, and unfortunately for the Germans, there where a few flaws in the enigma machine and the way it was operated that made it possible to break the code and that the Brits did. I highly recommend a visit to the Bletchley Park museum and The Code Book by Simon Singh to learn about this stellar achievement and other related stuff.

Building more okay but reliable tanks and planes like the allies did (BREN Gun carrier: rubbish but works, make tens of thousands) would have been pointless, they would have rotted in the factory carparks. So trying to beat quantity with quality was their only option.

Please more videos. Its too interesting to watch them :))

Awesome vid - thanks!

Please make more of these videos! They are awesome! The French one was amazing!

For anyone wondering, the Enigma was cracked by a bunch of code breakers in Bletchley Park, one man named Alan Turing is credited for heading the team and was treated horribly by his country after the war, ending his own life in 54'

A little known piece of history is what some civilians did in the U.S. after Germany declared war on us. A bunch of civilian pilots got together and started strapping bombs, depth charges, and/or guns to private aircraft and started attacking German U-boats. and by "strapped on," I mean held on by a piece of bungee cord that was cut to drop the bomb. This was the beginning of the Civil Air Patrol, which is credited with two confirmed kills in addition to several hundred merchant marine lives saved. Wilkommen zu Amerika, mutherf-kas.

Completely WRONG. Imagine spewing completely incorrect propaganda. After the fall of the Third Reich, the records of the Kriegsmarine, notably those of the U-boat arm, were captured by the Allied forces. Analyzed in conjunction with the Ultra intercepts (decrypted German radio traffic), the Joint Army-Navy Assessment Committee was able to account for the fate of all of Germany’s 1,154 U-boats. Of the fourteen submarines confirmed sunk off the American Eastern and Gulf seaboards from March 1942 to August 1943, none were confirmed sunk by the CAP; indeed the committee did not assign CAP credit for any U-boats. The claim by CAP of damaging or destroying enemy submarines appears to originate from within CAP’s own national headquarters based on reports from the organization’s coastal patrol task forces. The U.S. military did not formally credit the CAP with the destruction or damage of two enemy submarines, either during or after the conclusion of World War II. The CAP damage or destruction claims are now known to be without factual evidence.

Very good video, please continue the series.
