The sheer quantity of people in WW1 that died to their own artillery is insane! Not even creeping barrage but all artillery. There was no way to communicate with advanced troops during an assault, apart from sending a runner (who's often die on the journey). It was so common for troops to capture a trench just for their own artillery to hit them because they didnt expect them to actually be successful. WW1 was hell man

There is no mention of non combatants getting shot. Just other enemy units. It is most likley the wounded soldiers squad mates that will try to save him. They are legit targets. To furter the topic, most soldiers are tought to wound, not to kill. As it take more effort to take care of a wounded soldier, then a dead one.
Very few of these are strategies. Most of the events described would be regarded as being at the tactical end of military planning. Strategy is a general plan designed around overall ends and how to achieve them. For instance skirmish raids, foxholes and trench warfare generally fall at the tactical and operational levels yet strategically they would comprise attritional warfare to the end of outlasting an enemy. Similarly blitzkrieg would comprise of an annihlatory strategy intended to cause massive damage without many friendly casualties. In essence making the war quick and decide to impose surrender terms

Blitzkrieg was just an initial and sensational media name for maneuver warfare, which had already conceptually existed long before WW 2, and had been implemented with foot infantry and mounted cavalry for ages. But the Allies hadn't really come to terms with the full implications of motorized and mechanized transportation in war, doctrinally. Germany, squeezed into a corner by the strictures of the Versailles Treaty, had every incentive to throw all kinds of spaghetti at the wall to find ways around its restrictions (and in the last few inter-war years, they gave up any pretense of adhering to the terms of the treaty). The Allies struggled with coming to terms that Germany could execute merely mundane maneuver warfare so much faster, when they themselves had not bothered to figure out how to. There's nothing fundamentally special or unique about blitzkrieg that magically differentiates it from any other form of maneuver warfare, other than evolutionary improvements like increased mobility due to integrating motorized transportation and radio communications. It wasn't necessarily annihilatory, didn't cause more massive damage, or reduce casualties any more so than any other form of rapid concentration and application of force. These were all concepts that had been known, developed, and evolved from the Classical era through the Imperial age. Napoleon used the same concepts in his wars and battles. You could argue that Genghis Khan achieved similarly rapid and devastating effects with his own "blitzkriegs" across Asia, 700 years earlier. He maneuvered around enemy armies, flanked fortified cities and defensive lines, and created operational dilemmas that compromised his opponents, cut off opposing armies' supply lines, causing them to cede territory or surrender, sometimes without having to significantly confront them in battle at all. And it's not just these two examples. Every era of military history has had its examples of good or even brilliant leaders who understood strategy, maneuver or otherwise. But yes, this video covers only low level tactics in isolation. Child Protective Services called, and would like to have a word about the abuse of the word "strategy".

The vast majority of the time it’s the normal soldiers retrieving the wounded, and carrying them out of the line of fire to the medics. So, sniping these soldiers while they are retrieving wounded isn’t a war crime because they’re combatants regardless of what they’re doing at that particular moment. Is horrible, but that’s war in a nut shell. War isn’t pleasant in any way.

@@PAKISTANISBESTINTHEWORLD No it's not. Shooting combatants in general is not a war crime, unless they're being shot expanding projectiles (hollow points and soft points) because they cause "unnecessary injuries" that are more difficult to treat than standard full metal jacket, and AP ammo. It doesn't really make a lot of sense because artillery, mortars, tank shells, rockets, missiles, etc. also cause difficult-to-treat wounds, but it's not a war crime to use them against unprotected infantry. Intentionally harming noncombatants is absolutely a war crime though. If you want to know what exactly is, or isn't a war crime you should actually read the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

Games like total war and crusader kings naturally lend themselves to learning the concept of Defense in Depth as you inevitably overextend yourself, and end up saddled with more then you can manage to hold all at once. Mount and Blade 2 and the flaw of a charismatic charmer is that everyone votes to give you every city, keep and stronghold if you provide so much as tangential aid in it’s capture. It’s why I have no choice but to start my own independent claim rather then back anyone else, as the AI refuse to spread out who owns shit. :’)

Pretty good but you left out a few key details/bits of reasoning. Suppressive fire is the best example: If I didn’t already know what SF was, I’d have a harder time understanding Bounding Overwatch. For anyone that doesn’t know, suppressive fire is basically spraying bullets at a hiding enemy so they can’t poke their head out and shoot back. It also as the psychological effect of making them nervous and wearing them down.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the left visual for salvo. Just look at the water depression from the pressure wave of all of those main guns firing. It's absolutely wild to see how much the water around the ship is depressed from the pressure wave.

Worth mentioning that "swarming" is almost always more complicated than it appears at first. To use the USSR "human waves" example, that had more to do with a large number of sudden promotions and incomplete training of NCOs and COs. As a result, communication was often very incomplete and large numbers of troops were committed unprepared. Sieges weren't just throw ladders everywhere you can. It takes a lot longer to setup a ladder than to knock it down. This was generally done only after the defenders were sufficiently starved and combat ineffective, or in combination with diversions. Even stupid officers/nobles are expected to _pretend_ they're thinking. When the enemy can't see what their plan is (either because it was so cleverly concealed or because it fell apart so badly internally), they often presume there was no plan and that's how it goes down in history.

@@creator-ss7ks The soviets used human wave tactics but not in the way most people believe There are three principle ways that human waves were utilized during the war. In the very early months, the fight was exceptionally desperate and the Red Army often found themselves with no alternative, as they lacked heavy support, and in some cases even enough rifles. Massed charges happened, and there are even accounts of Soviet soldiers charging with their arms linked in solidarity (or to ensure no one chickens out if you are cynical) as they lacked rifles. Wasting trained soldiers on this makes little long term sense though, and it wasn't utilized in latter phases of the war. The second, and more common use at least through Stalingrad, were the citizen levies (Narodnoe Opolcheniye). There weren't soldiers, but civilians pressed into service and thrown against the Germans to buy time. Some were armed, some weren't. In some cases they were forced at gun point. Most members of the Opolcheniye had no training, and survival rates were low, to say the least. those that did you be absorbed into the Red Army eventually. To quote from an instance outside Leningrad: "Altogether over 135,000 Leningraders, factory workers as well as professors, had volunteered, or been forced to volunteer. They had no training, no medical assistance, no uniforms, no transport and no supply system. More than half lacked rifles, and yet they were still ordered into counter-attacks against panzer divisions. Most fled in terror of the tanks, against which they had no defence at all. This massive loss of life-perhaps some 70,000-was tragically futile, and it is far from certain that their sacrifice even delayed the Germans at all on the line of the River Luga."

Soviet losses were at about 55 thousand, and while the defense was unsuccessful in the end, the Army Group North's advance was halted for more than a month which allowed for Soviet reorganization and regrouping.

The strategy is to basically not fight the main force and instead fight the weaker forces. The coalition used this tactic to devastating effects against napoleon. They avoided fighting him directly after they realized napoleon could only be in one place. That is how they managed to defeat napoleon. By not fighting him

reminds me of some dnd 3.5 "take out the minions first" strategy you take out the weaker units first so they can't contribute to the fight then take on the "boss" for lack of a better term. in dnd its effective as it strongly alters the action economy, and in real warfare it reduces the number of enemy units in play against you assuming you can somewhat safely whittle down the weaker units and positions.
Thank you, might need this next next month.
great video!
That’s a pretty good video. But I don‘t think the term „war strategy“ does fit, bc this is about direct combat methods and as such it‘s more like the „tactical“ level instead of the strategic one

The tactic is likely referring to drawing out combative soldiers, too. I immediately thought of the scene from Saving Private Ryan, where one soldier is shot by a sniper and calls out to his hidden comrades, desperate for help as he slowly bleeds out. The other soldiers are faced between leaving him alone to die, or risk losing their own lives to the sniper. Any of them-medic or not-could have stepped out into the open to drag the soldier to safety and try to stop his bleeding, and fell victim to the sniper. I think that medics were likely drawn in this example because they are the most responsible for helping injured soldiers, not necessarily because they are the primary target of the tactic.

You're not _supposed_ to. But it's war; you don't win wars by sparing people, and they can't punish every soldier all of the time perfectly. In fact, the international court justice usually doesn't even try, especially for western and western-backed nations

the tactical retreat is a very useful option assuming its used before it becomes a route or forced retreat. a think a good description of it is releasing or retreating from a location or area before being attacked once you decide its not of tactical advantage, or to fallback to replenish resources and address injuries or wounded to try and counter a more attrition based attack.

Scorching Earth was also used by Russian Empire against Napoleon, which lead to Napoleon's defeat. Napoleon's strategy was actually getting supplies and logistics from locals as they advanced. Therefore, Scorching Earth lead to deficiency in Napoleon's army as they didn't make any supply chains when they advanced.
Great tutorial, will use later.
*GREAT VIDEO!* But you forgot the strongest and most evil strategy of all... Human shielding. Sadly a tactic used in modern day.. :/ This Technique consists in hiding and shooting alterity, Anti-tank missiles, long form missiles etc' IN SCHOOLS! HOSPITALS! AND CIVILIAN HOMES! ;( This tactic is to put a predicament on the enemy! They will have to decide between destroying their position and then be accused of war crimes... OR leave them there, and let them keep shooting! Win win for the devil's strat.

Give this man a true...
1. Salvos are still used in modern combat. Artillery is useful employed in salvo - or even time-on-target which is essentially a double or triple salvo. Missiles such as used in naval combat can be intercepted by ships and aircraft, so a salvo helps present more simultaneous threats and overwhelm counter-measures. 2. Hull down is also achievable by creating or using a preexisting depression in the land. Hull down allows a tank or other turreted vehicle to only present *the turret* to the enemy - it does not only present the main gun. Hull down does not mandate that a vehicle stay stationary - this is only true for the use of very small depressions in the land. If situated on a reverse slope, the vehicle can simply reverse further down the slope until it is entirely concealed and then move about freely - this is called terrain masking, and is often used with hull-down so-called "pop up attacks" which is called jockeying (Tank takes up hull down position, tank engages enemy, tank reverses until it is concealed, tank moves left or right a considerable distance, tank repeats procedure - this stops the enemy from anticipating the tank's position and being ready for it) 3. Creeping barrages are less about protecting the advancing infantry and more about enabling an assault on a position. The barrage encourages enemy troops to seek shelter by first falling short of their position. Then the barrage moves onto the enemy position and suppresses the troops there while friendly forces advance. Finally the barrage moves over the enemy position and stops just behind it, cutting of any retreat/reinforcement, and allowing the now very close friendly troops to assault the position before the enemy troops can return to their defenses 4.Blitzkreig is an entire system of war - what is described here is a simple 'thrust' attack. The intent of blitzkrieg is not really to create ever changing frontlines, but rather to allow tanks and mechanized forces to utilize their mobility. By punching through a defensive line, the tanks and mechanized forces can then spread out and flank other enemy forces, thereby circumventing prepared defenses. 5. I don't even know where to start with this. A foxhole is just another name for a dug-out or shell-scrape. It's just a hole in the ground dug by infantry to provide cover. Trenches are just big foxholes. The Japanese used small 1 man foxholes (often known as spiderholes) simply because it provided a good way for singular suicide-charge soldiers to ambush enemy combatants. Panzer-turms, the embeded tank turrets, are not foxholes - they were just a last-ditch effort by Germany to use excess tank turrets and guns, without the means to produce hulls for them and make them into tanks. 6. A single envelopment doesn't need to use a 'decoy'. Many textbook envelopment battles had the primary force in position at the front. A single envelopment is simply a flank on one side - often by cavalry or tanks or similar. 7. A pincer movement is just a double envelopment. It's the same as above, just with another unit conducting a flank on the other side. 8. In an oblique order combat, the weak side doesn't delay the movement as a part of the tactic - it is simply the case that to imbalance the forces one side is usually weakened and as such they are usually unable to hold their ground. If the oblique forces outnumber their enemy, they can simply weight one side heavier than the other, and the 'weak' side may well hold it's ground, or even push through. 9. Again an inverted wedge doesn't necessitate the use of a weak center. It is in-essence the ideal application of a feigned retreat. The center forces withdraw allowing the wings to flank (a double envelopment in essence). 10. Bounding overwatch is slightly misleading in that the bounding team doesn't necessarily reach it's destination. Far more commonly they simply advance a short distance, often to the next terrain feature that can provide reasonable cover. 11. Skirmishing is not so much about being ahead of the main body of troops, nor is it about delaying movements. Skirmishing is about breaking up enemy formations. A cohesive block of men can easily fight another, but have far more difficulty engaging skirmishes who are spread out and take cover. Further, skirmishers have rifles which are accurate at range, while blocks of line-infantry have muskets which are inaccurate. The result is that skirmishers will gradually pick apart troops and eventually break formations unless the enemy commander takes an action. Skirmishers are all about forcing the opponent to play their hand, and throw troops at the problem, which may open up a weak spot or tie-up critical assets. 12. Air interdiction is simply tactical bombing. There is no such thing as strategic air interdiction, as it is all tactical. Bombing on a strategic level is, you guessed it, strategic bombing. 13. Shoot and scoot applies to every ranged weapon ever invented, not just artillery. 14. Centre peel is just bounding overwatch in reverse. There are other forms of peel beyond just center peel, and they are all used for movement and not just retreat. 15. Defence in depth very much does intend to stop an attck, and is not just an attempt to delay. Defence in depth is a specific method of employing defeat-in-detail. Troops hold their ground just long enough to inflinct casualties on the attacking enemy, and then fall back before the enemy can bring it's superior numbers and/or firepower to bear. 16. Scorched earth was also used by the Germans when they retreated. Your video is bad and you should feel bad
