In early 1942, the Royal Navy had very few resources in the Channel area. Why should they? The Arctic, the Mediterranean, & the Indian Ocean were far more important. The Channel ceased to be of serious relevance after Sealion was abandoned. The British Chiefs of Staff had given the responsibility for dealing with the ships at Brest to Bomber Command, who failed.

Fun Fact: They used Ciliax Balls of pure steel as anchor on the Scharnhorst.

The Kriegsmarine (and its predecessor) had some of the weirdest chaps in its ranks. In WW1 it was considered to be the hardest maneuver to have the fleet perform a full turn-around. It was hard, risky and dangerous. But nevertheless, the german commander in the battle of skagerrak did it...three times. He turned around, saw that the brits weren't following, so he turned around again, started firing, noticed "oh, that's not working" and turned for a third time, without losing a ship or breaking formation. Later he wrote in his logbook "people will wonder why *his name* did it - *his name* doesn't know it himself!"

Good luck conducting an amphibious assault on the British coast through the channel. The capabilities of the German army against the allies were very clearly on display in Africa. Nazi Germany was never going to win the war, even if they never turned on the Soviets.

Honestly at that time the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine U-boats were still somewhat a threat so the British didn't have their bigger ships around the channel to block the battlegroup's movement.

Oh no! Hitler ignored his generals again! Just like his plan to go through the Ardennes in 1940. His generals wanted to invade France through Belgium, just like in WWI. He ignored them and went through the Ardennes. In reality Hitler never "ignored his generals". Everytime he had some generals who wanted to do it one way and others who wanted to do it another way. He would agree with one group, even if sometimes the group he sided with was a minority. With the Ardenne in 1940, if I remember correctly 1 or 2 generals wanted to go through the Ardennes, every other general wanted to go through Belgium. They went through the Ardennes.

"They needed steel for tanks". This doesn't make sense... I mean, sure, they needed all the resources they could get their hands on, but once the ships were built, the metal expenditure was already made.

It’s always a good day when Baz releases a video

Wow this is more tempting than any film. Baz has a natural thing to do this good videos.

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BOLD. WHO DARES WIN.

"Ok Rob? It's morning patrol. We're gonna use this extremely high-power set of binoculars to make sure the Germans are still in Brest." "That's funny. All I see are swastika armbands..."

I love your channel I find it's one of most well made and I especially like your stories about WW2. Those are so awesomely made 😉

At last! another Atlantic theater battle, been waiting for this since last year

Such a bold risk from the Germans it was almost in British style. Like T.E. Lawrence and his attack on Aqaba or Nelson at the battle of Cape St Vincent where he rammed his ship into the Spanish stern. How ironic.

The difference being that neither Lawrence nor Nelson were running away at breakneck speed for the supposed safety of a home port.

I'll be honest, I thought you guys were going into alternate history before the video started. Wow. Solid brass balls on the crews.

Always a pleasure when BB puts up a video!

Need more! Keep em rolling.

Now that's what you call a power move .

"because no one expected to pull this maneuver" well yea... that's the whole point. Caught off guard because they weren't thinking ahead, kinda deserved to fail to win a key battle there.

It wasn't a battle. It was a German strategic retreat, and both battleships were damaged carrying it out.

Excellent video, keep em coming. These are very informative.

I love your videos! Especially the WWII ones!

Maybe if you allowed us to keep our ships, we could’ve helped guard your front door...

@@karensmanager6340 Napoleon is talking about the battle (or rather massacre) of Mers-el-Kebir. You see, after the Fall of France, a sizable portion of the Marine Nationale was in that port, including a fantastic four battleships. The British were wary of the Germans seizing them, while the French were adamant that they would not turn them over. Negotiations went nowhere, and the Brits opened fire. A battleship was sunk, several other vessels were severely damaged and around 1300 French sailors were killed.

I freaking love these WW2 videos. So interesting and you can’t get tired of it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your channel and the content. Keep it up!

Im pretty sure the germans had a moment like the british when they Raided And rammed the Dock on SaintNzair and it was something like Is that a british destroyer? They do know this is a sucide mission right?

imagine all these ships coming alive and talking to each other from before and whilst in the Channel dash Whilst preparing them selves for the daring Operation in The channel Dash, Scharnhorst asks Prinz Eugen* Scharnhorst: Hey Prinz where is your sister? Prinz Eugen: Pardon? Scharnhorst: Your sister, Bismarck Prinz Eugen: stays silent in an attempt to dodge the question* ( Scharnhorst sparks from realization )* Scharnhorst: My apologies, i forgot that both of u are not Sister ships Prinz Eugen: Its because we are a like, many view us as SIsters because of our identical features Scharnhorst Nods silently* Scharnhorst: if you mind, can I ask where Bismarck been doodling around? Like........ where is she? Both of you where assigned to conduct sea raids in the trading routs of Britain and America. But i dont see her with you in the docks Prinz Eugen: She sunk ( Straight up told her without looking or even facing with a glance ) Scharnhorst: What?! Prinz Eugen: She decided to split off from me in the hopes of keeping evading British interception, She might have done this because if one of us where to be caught/inercepted by the British task force at least one of us would be able to escape in harms way Scharnhorst: I shouldn't have asked you that...... Prinz Eugen: its okay, besides im planning to redeem my self The rest of the dialogue is already explained by the video with all the 3 ships passing the strait, which led to Prinz Redeeming herself for escorting both ships in the hopes of forgiving herself in the loss of Bismark

The quality of your videos are incredible!

Apart from the fact that Rhine barges don't cope well with rough seas, and were likely to have coped even worse with the seventy of so cruisers and destroyers, and the 500+ smaller warships, which the Royal Navy had positioned within a few hours of Dover at the time an invasion attempt might have been made.

More of this videos please I like a lot.

In the naval combat videos the protagonist is usually the one that loses, so I was silently waiting for the British to come and suddenly sink the ships out of nowhere

makes you wanna cheer for the nazis to quickly get the hell out of there considering bismark got boat hunted just couple tens or hundreds miles away crossing the English Channel would probably also felt like walking in Korea's DMZ

These are some of the greatest videos made on this platform. This is truly museum quality. I hope you can cover the role of the Tirpitz, Gneisenau, and Prinz Eugen in the later years of the war.
