Simon was given a beard and no hair because otherwise he would’ve been too powerful.

The difference between both Simon's appearance and audio quality in the past compared to the present is insane. I've been watching his videos way too long.

“German forces mined the region so heavily that a French offensive apparently that’s a thing into German territory was halted in its tracks. Shocker” gave me a hoot

It’s crazy watching Simon over the years. Especially the last story, now I know he has a time machine because it was filmed in the future when he has hair again so it looks like that Keeps sponsorship finally paid off.

In the first 30 minutes and wanted to applaud Simon's conquering of the word "effortlessly".

My goodness Daven. Did you ever go into the library for this one. Simon barely has a beard. Reminds me of a Top10z from about 8 years ago when he didn't have one. Well done. Cheers from Tennessee

Comment just for engagement to bump Simon's greatness in the algorithm

I'm enjoying the long compilation style videos, thanks!

I've been watching Simon for a long while, but seeing his beard evolution in this video is just amazing. Glad to have such an amazing infotainment host that I know I can rely on for facts and laughs.

Seeing Simon without a beard at 1:00:00 was a bit of a shock! 😅🤣🤘 i didnt even recognize him

Whoa! I had to look at my watch for the date. Happy April 1st

I always thought D-Day stood for “Disembarkation Day”… You know how allied planners LOVED their particular style of language when it came to literally anything that might be written down or even spoken aloud. I also thought it was fitting in that the definition of disembarkation is: “The act of leaving a vehicle, especially a ship or aircraft and at the end of a journey”. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it, but it’s nice to think about the possible intent behind the choice of words being “The end of the journey, the last boat you’re going to be on until you’re heading home, the final push…”. Disembarkation

Wow, what a blast from the past, and present

Big fan of the neon Fact Boy! Well done Sir

Good job with “effortlessly”!

It's like being in 2012....

Best Of WW II by Simon.......😃Cool!😃

I think that the prototype mixed engine piston/jet or piston/rocket planes made by different countries at the end of ww2 are probably some of the coolest looking planes ever made. I wish it was still a thing. Imagine a super advanced modern version of those things.

That Higgins was a badass of a Human Being 🤟🏻

Great to watch Simons beard grow.

Found many of these, they are pretty common in some rivers in Luxemburg

Were you bald in secondary school Simon? Great flash back... thanks for what you do!

Holy Crap, didn't realize this is a 3 hour movie!

The s mine sounds like some sort of futuristic device. I wonder how it was produced and designed over 80 years ago to do that

The French called it the "hell to the no! " mine

In 1983, I was trained in our version of the bouncing Betty, M60 anti tank mines and Claymores. I was then a member of the USMC Engineer school. In doing so, we also trained in removing mines. Our Bettie’s had the “kicker” charge in them as a training aid. We wore face shield as we did so. I witnessed a fellow Marine removing an anti tank mine. As he did, his right foot set off a Betty surrounding the big one. We all heard a “pop”. He spun around only to be hit in the face as the Betty emerged. It lifted him off his feet and he landed on another. The second bruised his kidney. We later had to dig a grave, and partially bury him and mock cry (Marine Corps engineer instructors are a little sick). Later, we all laughed our asses off at the poor idiot!!!

Simon’s beard is the fastest growing beard on planet earth!!

How old is this episode

The D in D-Day referes to the D point. It was the day the allies began to attack the D point after it had finaly been found.

Simon, how are you and your fortunate large-wooded partner doing? Keep up the good work man!

The Whistler 👍👍

In high school, we were taught that the 'd' in "d day' stands for David: Dwight Eisenhauer's middle name. I like your explanation better.

It is now fact that Simon is an early iteration of A.I.

I wish I could reverse age ......just like that. Cheers 🍻

This is so old the SW sign is still working.

Simon, you trimmed up the beard! Makes you look younger. Oh, good discussion/info. Take care.

You cut your beard! I like it slightly fuller

Beardless simon doesnt exist. Beardless simon can't hurt you .

As aan army 12b1p in 1987 we called it the bouncing betty and were taught it was designed to injury soldiers so that it would remove 3 soldiers from the battle ( 1 injured and 2 to carry injured soldier back to medical) i rember during advance training in disarming these 3 prong mines that it blew up and didnt kill the 2 soldiers laying next to it instead it blew ear drums and blew the 2nd lieutenant thumb and little finger off and but neither were injured from the shrapnel because it blew out like an upside down cone and since they were both under 5ft 7 their feet were just missed from the shrapnel

Sorry but I couldn't get past the part where you said the mine would bounce up into the air and explode violently.

Knew this, but I always like to think of it as Doomsday (for the Axis).

So you're telling me the COD tactic of hitting the deck after tripping the mine actually worked thats unexpected

One of key assets of the USA uranium bomb program was the Tennessee Valley Authority, a "Great Depression political boondoggle", which built numerous unneeded, often unequipped, power dams in the 1930s. This system was quickly and completely built out with all its needed generating equipment and transmission lines during WW2 and provided the huge amounts of electric power required to separate the rare fissile uranium bomb isotope from its much less active, much more common uranium, close relative.

Australia still has M14, M16 and anti tank mines.

So odd seeing Simon without a beard 😆
