Let’s be clear: this isn’t history at all…..it is the equivalent of cotton candy for lazy, passive learners. No matter how good documentaries are, history is far too immense to be jammed into 40-60 minute chunks of video, meaning that being spoon fed fluff about WWII via documentaries isn’t at all equivalent to a university education. It’s far too complex and huge a subject to be spoon fed to people devoid of intellectual curiosity, meaning that *you have to engage your brain and read books if you want to know about history.* So don’t blame your university professors for the qualities you lack….It sounds like your university education was an expensive waste of time for everyone concerned.

The losses on each side are never equal, so in cases of stalemates in battles, the side who lost the most in men and/or matériel loses. An example is the Battle of Leyte Gulf. And the chess analogy is so misguided, bc _there is no comparison to men killing each other on a wildly unpredictable battlefield, whether it on land, sea, air, or all combined._

A small correction to what the u.s service member said at 32:30, the Japanese held long poles with bombs attached at the ends to try to hit the u.s boats. They didn’t have the bombs strapped to their heads like he said. But it was suicidal regardless because the blast would still kill them.

I actually love the game table thing, its kinda corny, but at the same time it allows the show to relate to average people how the command structures of the different military structures felt when certain things are going on, and I think that is really great. Not everyone has the time to read a book about everything so this is a nice story for common people.

I’m now reading John Eisenhower’s book on the Battle of the Bulge and it’s 500 pages long…..that’s only _one_ battle, although he’s given a good overview first! I’ve been reading books about the period from 1920-1946 for 35 years and I spot errors and missed points all the time…..the difference is, *I’m not going to point out errors and omissions bc I know such in-depth coverage is not possible in this format.* I’m here for the vintage film footage. What bothers me much more is the fact that so many people see a few documentaries on one battle-say, Stalingrad-and they think their knowledge is equal to people who’ve only read one book about it. It’s truly appalling.

There is another one from six years before but it's not as intense called "Vietnam in HD" narrated by Michael C. Hall. I think they're both worth a look for anyone wanting a little more understanding with great footage. This video was a good summary though. As time goes on, people forget how brutal humans can really be and miss atrocities in real time.

Britain fought the Germans from 1939 to 1941 when the US was bombed, Pearl Harbour was the catalyst, for the US to wake up!

The unfortunate fact is that our parents/Grandparents/G Grandparents fought for us and future generations to have the freedom to think how we want. My own father fought 6 years in the Royal Navy during WW2, and I was ALWAYS interested in his (and his friends) stories, but while my own kids were respectful of his experiences (before he passed away in 2013) but the truth be known they are totally uninterested in 20th century history, and pain me though it does to see my ancestor's efforts fade into nothingness (one of my my grandfathers fought in WW1), that is the nature of freedom. My main effort with my kids is to try to ensure they THINK FOR THEMSELVES and do NOT allow themselves to be hoodwinked by today's globalist MSM, and to arrive at their own conclusions about any subject that interests them.

I enjoyed this video, thank you.

The order of battles is bizarre.

When the Stuka was used as close support to advancing ground forces, one effect of the siren would have been to warn their own forces to watch out for 'near misses'.

There was a show on TV a few years ago. An older guy explained battles of WWII. He carried a board under his arm. He would lay the board on a table and unfold the board. It turned into a 3D hologram that would have ships or airplanes depicting the battle. His son was involved. They would switch to the son who was kind of a hands on guy who would walk you through how it happened. It was all so well done. Does anyone remember the name of this show? I wonder if it's available. Thanks.

In my opinion on German-Russian front main battles were battle for Stalingrad and summer offensive in 1943 or Operation Citadel Thats where Germany lost everything in terms of supplies , manpower , fuel etc....

Those battles were definitely the last "nails" in the coffin. Absolutely. The most important resources needed to win, man power and oil were lost. This absolutely solidified their demise. In terms of resources, I think the battle of Britain was the beginning of the end for Germany, due to the allies out producing them from that point on.

@@nickwood1062 The Allies did not out produce Germany until a little bit after America got into the war, say by the end of 1942, so that part of your statement is not even close. But, your point of it being a turning point is indeed the case because (1) it left open a two front war for Germany to defend, and (2) it depleted the Luftwaffe a measurable amount prior to operation Barbarbosa. In stopping Germany from invading GB, it also allowed the allies to heavily bomb Germany from 1942 thru to the end, which had a major impact on Germany's capability to wage war.

Really great to see South African Veterans involved and included for interviews and commentary. I often feel and see them being under represented (especially within South Africa..) and it is a real shame (considering their influence and impact). so Thank you.

Well yes! On the first hand the South African's faught bravely and suffered great losses. But excuse me when i remember the "heroic behavior" of Gen. Pienaar. Of cour'se he saved his men but the bill has been payed by the Newseelander's.

Man i just finished watching the 2010 HBO series The Pacific, and wow what an incredibly eye opening realistic depiction of what the USA battled through with Japan in the Pacific; insane brutality and gruesome warfare, and so incredibly heroic the American soldiers that fought and died for all of us whom enjoy our freedom. Looking forward to watching this now!

My dad always thought that the Doolittle raid was under rated, because the Japanese strategy changed because of it. It was what forced Midway, which put Japan on the defensive, etc.

@paigetomkinson1137

I agree with dad that it's underrated. I think though, that it unsettled the Japanese quite badly, just like the first bombing of Berlin did the Germans, since they'd been lead to believe that bombs would never hit them. Also, as everyone from the de facto Joint Chiefs of Staff ( precursor to the modern Joint Chiefs of Staff established in 1947), to the president, to the members of the military all knew that the U.S. needed a "win" in their column, and the Dolittle Raid helped. Between my thoughts, and dad's, it was a very successful raid.

I have to reply to this comment as well, and it is not that I would downplay the Dolittle Raid. In fact, in all of my history research, not one has downplayed this event. I agree that it had a major impact on Japan, which resulted in large part of saving face! It was due to this raid, that Yamamoto decided to force the US into a major naval battle and he picked Midway as the place. And we all know what happened there! The raid also boosted US morale quite a bit, which led to more money in the coffers for the war. This was possibly even more important!

An absolute brutal war, technology had come so far since the Great War and death reigned down in every form feasible. The airplane had evolved into a lethal weapon where entire cities could be obliterated from the air, the submarine had made big strides to the point Germany almost crippled Britian with their U-Boat fleet. Of course the ultimate weapon of it's day was used on Japan which ultimately ended the war.

It wasn't the A-bombs. Japan only surrendered the day after the Soviet Union declared war on them. Japanese leadership was terrified the Soviets would occupy their islands and re-order their society with Bolshevism after disposing of the Emperor. So they surrendered to the Americans instead. A gamble that has clearly paid off.

Not all of history is something you 'want' to see. It's something we 'have' to see if humanity is going to move forward and have a chance of not repeating it's mistakes. Whoever is making the decision to CENSOR (blur) some of this footage needs to step back and think for a second. I imagine they're trying to make the material accessible to younger viewers. That's a noble cause, but this isn't the way to do it. EVERYONE, including young people, should see the horrors of war in reality. They've (I'd) become desensitized to it on video games and movies. One should be SHOCKED into thinking about this and incorporating this information to their moral compass. Rant over. Hope you all have a good day.

very well put together well done

When i was in the boy scouts one of our camping trips was a Lock-In sleepover on the U.S.S Lexington that was later recovered and refurbished into a naval museum in Galveston Texas. One of the best camping trips ever.

1:48:40 It's great that the documentary puts a lot of emphasis on the British discipline that made the Dunkirk evac possible. But there is not a single word to mention the heroic last stand of the french troops that made this evacuation possible. And its not like the documentary forgot about the french or something, since they took the time to add that evacuating some french units made the free french forces possible.

My Dad was among the first American troops into N Afrika. He had great respect for the Germans, and held the Italians in disdain... He was given a medical discharge in 1944, I saw his separation papers while "snooping" once when the folks were gone. He wasnt very proud about it but it wasnt his fault... He spent much of his war in N Afrika, and missed the Big Show at Normandy. He got to travel on British ships as "prisoner transports" after the Afrika Korps surrendered, more than once and said their food and "coffee" sucked by US even wartime standards. According to to their videos, the British made wide use of the beret, at least in Europa, which I hadnt known before. Good choice, I must say.

I thought this was a great doc but it would have been a bit easier to follow had the battles been presented in some sort of reasonable timeline. Skipping from Iwo Jima back to Africa is just needlessly confusing. For us WWII history buffs it can be followed- but for young folks seeking to get some sort of grasp on things- this would be horribly confusing and fails to frame the arc of war when it well could have. But this is my only note- other than that this was quite informative. Thanks War Stories!

Who do you hold more responsible, the writer, or the editor? Eisenhower would be the editor, Montgomery, being the writer. A bad plan is a bad plan, but the person who looks the plan over and still approves, what's up with that?
