Military1945 creates unbiased documentaries about World War 2 by weaving together a combination of rare and sometimes never before seen film footage with original primary historical sources, including war diaries, situational maps, newspaper collections and photographs. Rare historical material must be carefully preserved, studied by academics and presented to the public in a professional manner.

Very nice, but if you compare the numbers in the video to modern data they are totally off, wonder if is really a evaluation or a propaganda movie
Die grünen Teufel!👊
Thanks Frederick
Truly unique and enthralling video footage not only of the military operation....but also of the tactical and strategic background of the battle.....superb !!
The British and Commonwealth units as well as those early partisan units that could be armed did fight on Crete tbh. Thanks to code breaking the Allies knew where and when to deploy their ships and men where they could fight with best effect. The Royal Navy broke up the Italian portion of the (sea) invasion while the German Falschirmjaeger took very heavy losses in securing the airfields so that the 5th Mountain Div, with their heavy weapons could in be could flown in only after the German Paratroopers had secured the two main airfields, Meleme and Heraklion. It was After that the ability to secure the rest of the island followed in quick order as the Germans repaired and utilized the captured airfield for their own uses.

What almost no one knew....Ultra allowed almost complete detailed knowledge of the German plans.
Thought provoking discussion about (1) the quality of Allied Intelligence collection about the German planning and execution of Operation MERCURY; and, (2) what sources of information would have afforded such a degree of insight, and which the Allies would have been willing to use for such a purpose, if the use might risk compromise of the source.

Not true about the Warsaw uprising. Soviet Army was not omnipotent to help. And even then Armija Krajova refused to cooperate with the Soviet affiliated Armija Ludova. So much of Goebbels propaganda is still around, unbelievable . Thanks for the work you do.
A part of history that needs to be remembered.

bloody Russians........
After the war, millions of Germans were starved to death! Wonder why the Germans kept fighting even though it was a lost cause? Because they knew the Truth, that the objective was the destruction of the German people not the Nazis regime!
The Reds are nothing but duplicitous scum. Of course the main Russian objective was to have the Germans wipeout all Polish resistance so the Russians didn’t have to once they took over .
Would the films made by the Polish Resistance been hidden by them and postwar recovered? Or captured by the Germans or Russians and later discovered in Germany or Moscow?
Good question Joseph, I have no idea. A report covering the German airborne invasion of Crete is about to go live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqmdt8Z9dpq0ftY.html

The disconnect between the subject matter of some of these clips with what is actually happening in the war at that time is kind of absurd. I get that it's propaganda, but it's kind of like that picture of a dog sitting at a table in a room that's on fire saying, "This if fine."

And the Poles that hated the Germans so much got what they thought was liberation only to find that they got 8 eight years of Stalin and a total of 45 years of Russian communism.
Thank You For SHARING AND CARING 😊

The closing segment featuring the Warsaw Uprising was an intriguing commentary on that key event in WW2 - considering that (as was pointed out) many historians consider the uprising to mark the onset of the 'Cold War'.
I've got more footage that will be included in other uploads
Never knew the fuller historical backdrop of the Warsaw uprising and how that was considered as the start of the Cold War. Fascinating. Also this question...what was the mass rally firing into buildings and the crowd looking for shelter after the DeGaulle footage ?....was that in France and what is the backstory? And finally....on a lighter note....when we see the very last frames of the ceramic factory....why didn't the row of cups fall off when the carrying "rack" was tipped so severely before the person entered the space between the storage racks?
The shootings were between German Snipers in the buildings, and those of the French resistance on the sidewalks, in addition to retreating Germans firing at the road.
The vases did not fall, as there is skill in this artisanal profession, and they were probably still wet

I would like to ask if you have any combat documentaries about the Grossdeutschland infantry or armored divisions in World War II, especially on the Eastern Front. There are not enough documentaries about this division that are popular on KZread. I hope there are detailed combat documentaries about them.
Love this..Thank you as always..Was this video of the 1st Mountain Division?
Hi Todd, to be honest I don't know
I can't comment anymore because they screen it before they will allow it to be posted! Use to get warnings and strikes against me but now this. Maybe this gets through?
This one arrived Andrew. A question, what kind of things were you saying before?
GREAT STUFF! I recently visited Remargen and I was fascinated to compare the town then with now. At least the twin towers at the bridge end are still there and the topography can still be recognised. The US Sappers seem to have done a good job in replacing the collapsed bridge with the temporary replacement. These reports do an excellent job in transporting one back into those critical days gone by!
Interesting Polish footage at the end!
Toutes ces images me fascinent et pourtant se sont des images de guerre malheureusement 🙏🥵🙏
surprised to see the translator use the term 'terror-bombings'.

Saw Jochen Peiper and Adolf Galland in this video. Yeah, in a few years the survivors will claim they were never Nazis, and many of them will end up working on Allied bases.

You bet!
