I just realized that when drew says WW2, it actually has more syllabols than if he just says world war 2

The germans reached Crimia in september of 1941 and in order to invade it they had to wait till early november of 1941 because there's a strait in the northern part of crimia which can be crossed by foot if the water is frozen in the surrounding lakes. That's why we can see in the video that nearly on all fronts they were attacking consistently, but they stopped with advancing for 2 months.

We you say that France and Britain didn't really have a choice to have another war? 1:22 Germany didn't want a war with them, and France didn't either, but Britain wanted it. The reason Germany invaded Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium was to keep the British off the mainland, because they declared war on Germany, who only wanted the expand east. I don't get where this idea comes from that this was set in stone and there was no other way. There are always other options.

T he most interesting thing About the lead up to the east front is Soviets literally offered to join the axis a few months before operation barbarossa was launched.
