This is the most interesting video i've seen all week! And I follow warographics, the casual criminalist, and today I found out :) Thanks, Whistleboi!! Looking forward to watching the next 2 hours of this!

Definitely the most shocking part of the video was the beardless Simon.

I really love these comps, full clean shaven fact boi was a little wild lol

Yeap. A lot of the biggest, most well known companies today have a dark past. IBM kept track of the number of Jews for Nazi Germany. Ford made military vehicles for Nazi Germany. GM and Ford actually agreed to convert their plants in Germany for military production yet at the same time refusing requests made by the US Government to convert their plants in America. General Motors was also producing military vehicles for Germany. They were compensated $32 million dollars by the US Government because the US destroyed their German factories during the war. Kodak, the camera company, also produced equipment for the Nazis. Kodak made film, fuses, triggers, detonators, and other materials that were used against American troops. Kodak also used slave labor in Germany to produce the materials mentioned above for the Nazis. Coca-Cola advertised themselves as "pro-nazi" in Germany during the war. They also invented the drink Fanta specifically for Nazi Germany. The Associated Press, and American news and photo company was one of the few news companies that was allowed to remain in Germany throughout the war due to strict rules and requirements put in place by the Nazis. The AP German office was responsible for a majority of the Nazi propaganda both within Germany and abroad. There are many more American companies that helped the Nazis, and a ton more companies outside of America. These were just a few that come to mind immediately. .

It wasn't just that Japanese aircraft had gone from being (situationally) superior and then been leapfrogged as the war went on... at the start of the war the Japanese had one of the best trained and drilled Air forces on the planet.... But losses overook their ability to replace, and so, raw pilots were sent up to make good the shortfsll, and soon, pretty much nothing But raw pilots were going up.

The failure of a German Flak 88 to hit a Russian KV tank illustrates the major flaw. Flak 88 was powerful but bulky. It was slow to set up and needed a big crew to do the job. .

I heard someplace that the armor pn the 2 Japanese battleships eas too thick to weld, and eas therefore riveted. It was the rivet lines yhat were the weak points.

Today I want you to find out, why I don't click onto your videos anymore, endless streams of World War nostalgia is not appealing to me. But I've seen first hand how it turns people to worshiping dictators or excusing their actions, because some vague notion their actions could be considered in some sort of progress. We should not be silent on history, but nostalgia baiting fascists is a dangerous path. Please consider shining a light on lessons from history, rather than just regurgitating the most dry both-sides articles.
