Absolutely agree with you guys that OverSimplified should be producing shows for TV/Netflix. Some progressive teachers have already started showing these videos in their classrooms, which I think is a great idea because not all kids are able to absorb information via reading from a textbook - visuals help a lot, especially when they’re as entertaining as these. I think it’s just a small team over at OverSimplified, so they don’t put out that many videos each year; but when they do they’re definitely worth the wait.

I've learned more when I actually want to learn, not when I'm made to learn in school.

As recent as 2002, the US Mmarine Corp had motorcycle mounted couriers for sensitive messages and items such as captured maps and documents. This is something that that should never go away. There will always be a need for something like this and I can guarantee that someone has put serious thought into their use on a wider scale in the case of the use of and EMP or wide area jamming.

For all his lineage, Winston Churchill was considered a commoner. His Mother was an American heiress from New York.

When my buddy and I went to London a couple years ago to watch the Seahawks London game, we rented a car and drove out to Dover and toured Dover Castle. They covered Dunkirk and the history of the castle, including how the castle was a key point in warning the rest of England where the German bombers were going to. They were able to give enough of a warning for the air raid sirens to go off and people to get to shelter and the RAF to mobilize. It was definitely a really cool tour and glad was able to do it. They took us through several of the bomb shelters there at the castle that were used during WWII by the military.

If you haven't yet, check out "The Fallen of World War II." Astounding!

You guys do an outstanding job 👍. Thanks.

I wish videos like the ones by Oversimplified were around when I was still in school. I would have actually paid attention lol.

Man so many in my family were in the war. One was tank driver and another was a tail gunner on a airplane I can't imagine. One great uncle was a grunt and got shot in the helmet skinned his scalp so close. He earned the nick name skunk because the hair grew back white and we have black hair.

my granddad also served in WW2. He was stationed in England and was the navigator of a B-17 flying fortress that would fly over Germany and bomb their factories and other strategic places.

The Manchurian Candidate is a John Frankenheimer film made in 1962 starring Frank Sinatra.

Hope you are well all three of you!

Manchurian Candidate is a term used to refer to someone under a spell of influence. It's based on an old movie about a guy who's hypnotized to kill the candidate for Manchuria, it's like you play a song and the person is "activated" and does what they were trained to do. There's a remake of the film by the same name with Denzel Washington and Leiv Schriber, not 10/10 but not bad either.

Man Oversimplified is the best with sliding those sponsors in.

"I alone can fix it!" History repeats itself.

OS is mistaken with regard to the Maginot Line, which did exactly what it was supposed to do: channel the German attack through Belgium.

The raising of the flag on Iwo Jima was not done by ALL native Americans, but there was 1. The staging came after the battle was won and they put up a simple flag and a general said I want that flag so they sent a few men to go up to get the 1st raised flag and replace it with another one. When they went to raise the 2nd one they had a press crew who took the famous photo we all know now. If you want more in depth information about it including the lives of the 6 men who did it, Flags of our Fathers is a great book and they made a movie about it as well

The Dunkirk evacuation did not move 1.5 million men, it was a little under 340,000 men evacuated over 9 days. In comparison, on 9/11, ferryboats and civilian craft evacuated more than 500,000 people from the island of Manhatten in a single day.

15:50 They told the French to either hand over their ships or scuttle them themselves They refused So Britain sank them They had their chance to make the right choice

The Maine, sparking the Spanish American war is a good example. The official story was an underwater mine sunk the U.S.S. Maine, but officers that survived and internal investigators agreed that the cause of is was a type of methane related by that fuel used to power the ship known for spontaneous combustion causes the explosion resulting in the 3/4 loss of crew. It's still a point of controversy, but many people consider it a false flag operation set up to give us the excuse to go down to Cuba, Which up and coming politician Theodore Roosevelt was an advocate of.

Actually, I was first introduced to OverSimplified in a history lesson!

Jenny Jerome Churchill was Winston Churchill's mother. She was born in Brooklyn New York so he's half American. Lol.

My grandfather lived in the Dutch East Indies during WW2. After the war Indonesia became independent and the Moluccans (my grandfather's people) were seen as traitors because they helped the Netherlands.

He was the first lord of admiralty that was his first Job.

Can't wait for part 2

"The fallen of WW2" is another great video you guys should check out.

Manchurian Candidate comes from a novel and a later twice made movie. In the novel US soldiers are captured during the Korean War, taken to Manchuria where Soviet Psy Ops agent brainwash/hypnotize them.and then return them to the US where they are to help in political goals for the Soviets by running one of them for high political office. The term Manchurian candidate has naught to do with the Japanese false flag op in Manchuria, well unless the author had that in the back of his mind.

my great grandpa being from Germany but living in america was a translator for the us army

My understanding that while appeasement issue is often misunderstood today. In the proper context of the 1920s and 1930s it made some sense. The Bolshevik revolution turned Russia into a communist state, the fear in Western Europe and the US and Canada to a lesser degree fear Bolshevism would spread into their countries. It wasn’t necessarily fear of fighting Germany when they had no issue fighting in their colonies of Africa, Asia or the pacific. Germany/Hitler being opposed to communism was a perfect buffer from Soviet expansion westward, so the reason for giving Germany what they wanted was to keep them satisfied and to use them as a safe guard against Soviet expansion. Stalin seeing he’s being set up as a target for German aggression signed the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union basically threw a wrench into the plans of the West. The Soviet Union was never an ally but just had a common enemy in Germany. Churchill in particular was drawing up plans to attack Soviet lines after Germany was defeated and also preferred an invasion in the Balkans, closer to the Soviet Union over France in 1944. An invasion in the Balkans would mean less territory for the Soviet Union after the war as that was the initial fear of Soviet expansion.

Hello, good greetings from Germany. We learn so much about this here and I'm a little history nerd so... All that happened because of the Versailler contract. The Great Nation. And the People that were so proud of themselves and their Germania blood were dead. Depression, no water, no food for you and your children, no work... From this point we must think from a perspective from a person in that time. Because There comes a man who promised to give you all that.. Give you food, water, work.. And a good blame for all your suffering - The jews. And the important thing is he did all that. He gave them all that. The people in that time couldn't knew that Hitler was psychological broke and crazy, even his party. But later they saw what he had planned but it was to late. Now they said: kill for the Reich or be killed. And so many people especially the young were extremely manipulated. Because Hitler was not a smart person, he was not a strategic leader,.. He was a speaker.. An excellent Speaker. And all that suffering and his charisma get you manipulated and at the beginning as I said he did "Good Things" besides the jews blaming. But that was with reason to get the people completely manipulated. And to this day the REAL Nazis were only Hitler himself, the SS and his party. Mostly all other people were manipulated or they were executed by their "own" people if they not fought for the Reich. And even then so so so many resistance groups were formed. And and this people were REAL Germans. My favorite story - Graf von Stauffenberg even was a high person in that Nazi system.. But many of Hitler own people saw that he was not right in the head and they would lost the war. So they planned to assassinate him. Wich is basically suicide because Hitlers system was strong.. Really strong. But Stauffenberg had a Joker he was a higher person. At Hitlers secret bunker 'Wolfsschanze" he placed a Bomb under the table were the important people should sit with Hitler. And it was a time bomb so luck.. He went out. Before he placed the bomb he and his resistance group planned a *perfect* literally perfect way after the bomb would explode to get Hitler and his groups out of power. So at the meeting the bomb explode and it was perfect!.. Except one thing.. And here as German i must smile and crying at the same time... Because the Fucking TABLE that was made from The German Eiche protected Hitler.. Like... Of course the German handwork best in the world.. German handwork and thinking builded our world today.. But.. Really! Now.. The German Eiche table was not real German it was a Nazi table.. Omg.. It Fucking protected Hitler. If that table was made American or from Russia Hitler would be dead twice 😂🤦‍♂️ (Love u bros) At that time Stauffenberg and his group was at the Parlament and were so close.. So Fucking close to kick Hitler out of power. But Hitler came at the last second saying "I am alive"... And mostly all people from that group including Stauffenberg were executed. Rest in peace legend .. Because they really planned to end the war and make freedom contract.. And that would be the best possible way for Germany.. And history.. With all respect.. We learn from such bad things as the holocaust. In that way.. Yes the beginning of the holocaust was there and many died already and Yes Germany would be punished for what one person and his group did, even they would make freedom.. But that's kinda ok.. But in many views it would be better for us - There would be no DDR and BRD so one unite Germany.. - It would be a democracy - The USA could not invent the Atomic bomb (because mostly all people that invented the A bomb were Germans.. Just like the NASA) so that could be good or bad depends on the view. If you say the A bomb saved us from ww3 or not - We could still be proud of our fatherland, Germania blood, mentality and thinking without being called straight a Nazi - Germany would not be the bitch for mostly every country today ... We still pay billions to the jews.. But i have nothing to do with that Nazi shit anymore .. We would not be completely robbed by everyone, pay to others more and more and more even if we settled the problems with the contracts .. Because we are the perfect victim they say I'm a Nazi if i say i just want to be proud of the once country of the poets and thinkers .. Because they want that we will never stand up again completely and want that Germanic blood to disappear .. But that is Paradox because it only let grow the Hate and suffering again. - We could have a REAL German army again for protection - German thinking and Handwork would still be here , completely Love you all freedom is important. The France people can say im proud to be France and the Americans too everyone can say that .. But i want to say that to .. as German, without being a straight Nazi for some stupid people that have only shit in the head and know nothing about history

But even if an German Invasion took place the British fleet would have annihilated the Germans anyway in the channel

Churchill is is royalty on his fathers side technically and his mother was an American heiress

Churchill was posh but he was real deal. He actually fought in trench warfare. Maybe that's why Hitler is afraid of him & wanted peace deal.

​@@SilvanaDil But, through your own ignorance you ARE denying the contributions by others, the Brits especially, since from your own statements you are unaware of what they did. Britain fought alone from 1939 until the beginning of 1942, when America supplies and personnel began to appear in the UK. And before you mention Lend-Lease, that didn't kick in until 1942. What did we fight against until 1942. From 1939 onwards the Royal Navy fought both in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean against German U-Boats and Italian battleships attacks of British supply convoys, defeating the Italian Fleet overall after the Battles of Taranto and Cape Matapan in 1940 and 1941. in 1940 there was something called The Battle of Britain in which the German Luftwaffe tried for three desperate months, and failed, to wrestle air superiority from RAF Fighter Command. if the Germans had beaten the RAF the Normandy Landings would not have been possible. 60,000 civilians were killed by German bombing in British cities. The RAF Bomber Command lost 55,000 aircrew between 1942 and 1945 during their bombing campaign of Germany (more than the USAAF). British and Canadian troops also fought from Normandy towards Berlin . And you are wrong. British soldiers and sailors DID fight against the Japanese. It was the British 12th Army that pushed the Japs out of Burma. The Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet was its largest fleet. But what you are MOST wrong about is your assertion that it was only the US that contributed to the materiel of other nations. Have you ever hear of REVERSE Lend Lease ? The read up about it. To your surprise, no doubt, you will learn that Britain also contributed supplies and weapons to others - even to the US as well as the USSR, and in surprisingly large quantities. part of the reason Britain was broke by 1945. And finally, let's not kid ourselves. By far the greatest share of the fighting, and dying, happened on the Russian Front. The US lost 415,000. We lost 450,000 including civilians. The Russians lost 27 million military and civilians.

around 400,000 men were evacuated from dunkirk. not a million and a half

Even after the French were readying there ships to sail. Before opening fire. There are more details of this unfortunate incident. You all should read some British History. Some of it is positive.
