    Also important to mention that Ukraine and Russia have been at war since 2014, just not to this extent of destruction. So the Ukrainians were mentally prepared for the possibility of a war and also considering how absolutely ginormous the country is, with how many people its no wonder that the poorly coordinated Russians have barely made a dent. Guerilla tactics are very useful especially so when every squadron of bloody 4 people has an anti tank US, German, UK, Polish or wherever else's armament

    Also, let's not forget, that Poland was attacked by Soviet Union on 17th of September, so there was literally no way in or out of Poland, beside small border with Romania, so the opportunity for support was very limited. And the support from the allies also lacked. West of Germany wasn't manned that well and Britain and France could've opened the second front right away and probably gain advantage. Also one thing that wasn't mentioned in the video - French plan for defence was to just fortify the living hell out of their birder with Germany. It was unbreakable. So Germans did what they did in the first war and attacked through Belgium, routing almost all of French army, that was concentrated on the border and quickly running for Paris. So the additional reason why Nazi Germany was able to make such fast progress, was lousy response from the west allies. I mean, the war was inevitable, when Germany annexed parts of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and then just invaded it.

    It's common knowledge that long-range fighters, with drop tanks, escorting heavy bombers helped out. Aircraft such as the P51 Mustang, the P38 Lightning and the P47 Thunderbolt certainly helped to change the course of the war, both, in the air and on the ground. Of course, the deciding factor was that Germany was running low on aviation fuel, aircraft and capable pilots.

    Luftwaffe was almost depleted 43-45, which is just wrong. even with the Luftwaffe'sever growing lack of quality pilots and a desperate shortage of fuel the Allied still weren't able to obtain Air superiority over the whole of Europe until January 1945. Saying that Luftwaffe was a depleted force 43-45 is a dishonor to the 10s of thousands of Allied Aircrew who were killed over Europe between 1943-45. Also, there is no fun fact about WW2 when 40-50 Million people died.

    When you describe Germany in 1930, the map shows that Austria was supposedly already part of Germany, although they were only incorporated into the Reich eight years later via the Anschluss. The Sudetenland also seems to have been wrongly incorporated into your version of the ("Weimar-") German-Republic. In contrast, East Prussia is not shown in dark red on your graphic for whatever reason, although this was part of the Weilmar Republic in contrast to the other areas mentioned. The information you give is generally correct and the graphic optics are very pretty, but the geographical borders and classification in the timeline are far from reality.

Because of the financial situation in Austria, Hungary, and Turkey after the war, few to no reparations were paid and the requirements for reparations were cancelled."

    Awesome video as always! Here's a story you might find interesting. A British ace in WW2 flew without legs! Yes you read that right. He lost his legs in a plane crash before the war, but still wanted to fly with the RAF and he was amazing. He shot down many German planes until he was shot down himself above Europe and captured by the Germans. He then tried to escape the hospital and the pow camp he was in multiple times until he finally got rescued from his prison. After the war, he made great efforts for people with disabilities and was even knighted for hos work for people with disabilities. This amazing story is the true story of Douglas Bader.

    Blitzkrig was about committing the max amount of your forces to every battle, and not holding back to keep some in case you lost the battle. And this strategy in most cases statistically make sure you loose the least amount of personell and equipment compared to if you where holding back and committing a smaller force. And that is probably also why Russia is loosing so much now, because they where holding back and initially just committing a small force to a "special operation" in stead of just mobilize right away and send all of their force for a blitzkrig style attack.

    True, they cannot manage every frontline with ~200k soldiers and that's why they retreated from Kharkov region (and are still being pushed back lmao) and why Russia did those referendums and started mobilizing. They thought Ukraine would just sign peace once they reached Kiev and they'd get along in the end. What a foolish mistake. Imagine talking how the Ukrainian government is employing Nazis while at the same time you still wanna make deals with them. Or how they treated real Nazis as casual POWs and even exchanged some of them, now those Nazis exaggerate their experience in the prison or start posting war crimes again. If the Russian government really wants to treat enemy POWs who support far right ideologies better than it treats its soldiers, it shall not dare to expect a win unless it becomes more ruthless. TL;DR Russia was foolish and lame and it takes too long to adapt its strategy accordingly.

    The problem with blitzkrieg as a strategy is that you are essentially betting on everything going mostly according to plan, because you have no reserves to deal with the unexpected. So statistically it will work great most of the time, but when it fails it'll fail spectacularly. Germany actually got invaded by France during the attack on Poland in 1939 and was saved only by the French command losing their nerve and deciding to retreat without a fight.

    That first map was a bit painful. Not because of the army's destruction, but how inaccurate it is: 1. East Prussia isn't colored in, and because of that, the Polish Corridor is also missing at 1:14. 2. Germany didn't invade Yugoslavia and Greece until 1941. And when they helped Italy with Greece, Italy took most of it and it wasn't until 1943 when they took the Italian occupation zone. 3. Germany only occupied northern and the western coast of France until 1944, the rest of it until then was the collaborationist Vichy France 4. Germany occupied Denmark in 1940 5. The Nazis didn't occupy Finland. You might be confusing it with the German Empire who tried to create a pro-German Finnish monarchy but that attempt failed. Though the Germans helped Finns against the Soviets in the Continuation War, the Soviets won and ordered the Finns to kick the Germans off their soil to then German-occupied Norway. 6. Slovak Republic was a client state rather than German-occupied 7. Germans didn't invade Italy until 1943, and it was the only the northern half 8. Kingdom of Hungary was an ally 9. Tsardom of Bulgaria was also an ally On top of that, Austria and the Sudetenland didn't become a part of Germany until 1938. And the Autobahn existed before Hitler, he just expanded it.

    Little mistake: France alone had a stronger army by soldiers also then germany in 1939. (France 5.000.000; Germany 4.522.000 (1939) - to find on de.statista) Germany had not the strongest army but the most explosive force for the first days/weeks of the war and also the surprise effect, with (like you mentioned) the Blitz Krieg tactics. Thats the reason why they got few kilometers before Moskau in 1941 ,and occupied the BeNeLux Countries and France inside 2-3 months in 1939. They had problems with supplies (shown at the war against the Soviets) but at the first few weeks they were pretty strong because of the Luftwaffe and the Panzerdivisions. Important: Germany was at war against a few countries at the beginning of the war, not 50. Countries like: France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Poland and a few more. But NOT against the Soviet Union and the USA. The US didnt want to go to war, shown on surveys in the US at that time (because of WW1). After Pearl Habor they joined. So at the beginning, Germanys standing in the war was not quite as bad as it seems in 1939. But when the US joined and Germany attacked the Soviets, Germany lost controll over the battle in 1941.

    Great video, but the incorrect maps throughout it make me very angry ;( - Austria wasn't incooperated into the German Reich until March of 1938 - Same thing for the so called 'Sudetenland' which was added into the Reich in October of 1938 - And you completely forgot East Prussia which was a part of the Weimar Republic and later Nazi Germany, but was seperated from it because of the Danzig area which was given to Poland after World War One. The retaking of this strategic position in order to connect East Prussia back to the rest of Germany also was a major motivator for Hitler to declare war on Poland in September 1939. Other than that it's a great video! Keep up the good work :)

    Well it's pretty simple, I am a long time subscriber and what I noticed is that his videos are hit and miss, he sometimes make a video that it would make you say: wow this dude deserve 20 mil, or 10 mil. And other times you wonder, did I subscribed to some 100k random channel that post facts from random newsletters? I don't say negative things because I realize that "interesting topics" are not infinite for the finite knowledge of audience, you can talk about math or whatever and interesting stuff but if the audience can't really understand it then it won't make views. So what I noticed is that he need money to pay his team for helping with animation and research. And From time to time a banger video comes out. if he somewhat managed to only keep posting 'banger' videos, his views would've remain in the 'millions' per video which youtube would've promoted him more and get 10 mil quicker, but bcs he sometimes post irrelevant topics that are mostly clickbaity, it get 'less views'. That makes his average performance poor and youtube recommends less.

    I had kind of expected you'd also highlight how the annexations of Austria and part of Czechoslovakia really helped in adding war materials and industries to the Germany army, helping to vastly accelerate the buildup beyond what would otherwise be possible. Also by taking their financial resources, the Nazi could delay just another year or two that their economy would implode from their unsustainable spending. Thus basically the looting had already started beforehand due to that, and was part of what led to the even larger army to deal with. It also led to an army that had gotten some practice in coordinating moving in to another country and annexing it. Get a live practice twice obviously will help a bit. In that light, as is typically thought these days, the surrendering of those countries was a vast mistake. Something which probably in part has led to Europe being less willing to let Russia annex Ukraine if they can do something about it. Which creates an interesting modern historical connection to this all.

    In my possession I am fortunate enough to have a two volume history of WWl written in the 1920’s which is BEFORE the start of WWll. Of course, the book is not titled “WWl”, as the second war had not broke out yet. It was called “The Great War”. The book covers the political and cultural of attitudes for over twenty years leading up to the beginning of that war. It continues to the very end and including the Versailles treaty and everyone involved in great detail. Most of the people, including the judges and accused have been long forgotten and their names would not be recognized today, except for very serious historians.

    Fun fact. The war tactic "Blitzkrieg" wasn't a German-made tactic. But rather it was a tactic made by a British General Percy Hobart. The German who had claimed the tactic Hans Guderian, got his tactics from Percy Hobart. It's documented that he had every page that General Percy Hobart published translated to German. For anyone asking how I know this. I learned it from the youtuber "The Fat Electrician" he is a really good Historian.

    I think Germany's major advantage throughout history was the sheer strength and superiority of it's army. Germany blitzkrieging through multiple nations was not new, during the victorian era the Kingdom of Prussia united Germany and defeated Denmark, France, and Austria. France and Austria were major military powers and were both defeated in a very short time due to the tactics and strategies the Germans conducted. In WW1 Germany had no ally that could really help them and Germany carried the Central Powers throughout WW1, eventually being defeated by the fact that an Army marches on it's belly.

    Combined Arms tactics were happened upon by all powers more or less simultaneously by the end of World War I. If you look at the Battle of Meggido in 1918 you see the British employing tactics that are in principle blitzkrieg, the only difference being the level of mechanization though Germany still did a lot of WWII on horseback*. In fact combined arms tactics were the de facto standard for Britain and (in theory) France by the end of the war. DeGaull focused heavily on concentration into armor and mobile infantry because he knew his country could not and would not support the massive conscription army of the past. He also (not that it wasn't obvious) correctly identified that the case yellow of penetrating through the Ardennes and invading Belgum would be the most obvious places to concentrate this force for defensive purposes. Unfortunately France was a political mess of WWI, despite the reputation they got after WWII the reality is France stood and died in the trenches in WWI and they still hadn't recovered from the level of generational loss it entailed. This political mess included meddling in what should have been purely military affairs and DeGaull wasn't popular with the political leaders because of his ideas of modernizing the army and making it smaller (but better trained professionals), as well as investing more heavily in aircraft and anti-air defense, mostly because the former was seen as a massive break from "tradition" and what had served France so well for centuries. So they didn't listen to him and as a result when Case Yellow occurred the concentrated combined arms army DeGaull had built was not concentrated but was being used to reinforce the Maginot Line as opposed to covering the major hole it DIDN'T cover. France collapsed not because of a deficiency with their military acumen but because of political interference and a lack of will to fight on behalf of the political leaders. There is a REASON why Charles DeGaull was the leader of the French Government in Exile. *On horses- They were so important to the Nazi War Machine that in the book D-Day through German Eyes Eckhart quotes a German Soldier as saying "One thing that astonished us is all along the beach there was not one horse!... This huge army had brought with it not one single horse or pack mule, all of their transport was mechanized, and I knew we had lost the war."
