Do you have plans to post more history videos on the historic anniversary date? Its always crazy to me that stories like this actually exist throughout our history people always skim over this sort of topic good job covering it

Cher Seigneur, il n'est jamais facile de se souvenir de cette atrocité de la guerre. Imaginez les ouvriers revenant du travail à Limoges en tramway le soir et trouvant leurs familles, leurs enfants et leurs maisons détruits.

I've been there a few times. It's not all that it's presented to be...far more complex.

And the day before they murdered civilians in Tulle as well.

RIP To the 643 French civilians who were murdered by the Waffen-SS under Adolf Diekmann and Heinz Lammerding in the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre

Good video! It's sad

Thank you so much for this very important reminder. The famous 1970s "World at War" video series (narrated by Laurence Olivier) opens with a discussion of the events at Oradour sur Glane. I remember watching it the first time and finally understanding what it meant for one's blood to run cold. I felt physically ill, and still do whenever I consider what took place there.

Love your videos from us

9:10 The south had some major advantages. First of all Lee and Jackson were much better generals until Grant an Sherman took over for the union. But the big advantages were that first of all they were fighting a defensive war and were much more familiar with the land the battles were taking place on. Also the south was a more agricultural society and the population of the south as a whole were much more experienced handling and using guns and navigating rough terrain as they took part in activities like hutting hiking and camping more often than the industrialized north where the people lived in more urban environments. So the south had better generals a more experienced population to draw from and they were fighting on their own terrain. The Union's only hope was to cut off their supplies and win a war of attrition.

"The execution perimeter was already established" ugh can you imagine needing to be on patrol knowing what is going on in the middle of that encirclement...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but by the end of the Normandy campaign, wasn’t the Das Reich almost completely destroyed?

It always fascinates me how effective nazi propaganda was, in 1944 there is no hope for you to win, but you're so willing to commit such atrocities to a enemy that you know will remember everything you did. It's amazing how many were still willing to do such evil.

Hey I love that you're doing your own content as well as reactions! There's really not enough french perspectives on a lot of history that really heavily involves the French, and much less Frenchman openly making videos to inform many of us like Americans who, like you said because of a single war has really changed how France is viewed

My God, I can't even find words to describe the feelings I have, the video of the everyday people on the street and tanks rolling by was surreal. The eight year old boy broke my heart, I cannot grasp how this evil could be done by a human being to another human, and even worse so many were involved, I pray for a peaceful world but also the strength both military and good people worldwide to ensure nothing like this ever happens again, never forget and never again

Truly shocking my friend..knew of this through a brother who lived close by..but, man..😢

34:15 I studied the civil war a lot because of this. I feel the civil war was the transition to modern war. Grant and Sherman kicked of a change in war strategy relying more on flanking tactics and attacking supply lines and depots as opposed to going directly at armies themselves. I feel it signified the first major that was the transition point to modern war.

i thought this was 'just another reaction channel' but was really blown away with your knowledge of history and appreciated learning new things from a non-american perspective. cool channel-- i subbed and looking forward to watching more!

My favourite : "It's a nice touch to include images of Chamberlain in a video where it talks about uselessness in World War II" 👍

😂 History shows, you should never mess with America's boat's.

It's not worth watching such low-quality retellings of the story. This does not allow us to understand the essence of events, it only imposes phantoms and lies.

I've been checking out some of your videos these last few weeks, and this one made me push that Subscribe button. Keep up the good work.

Have you ever heard of the song "Forgotten Years" by Midnight Oil ? They are an Australian band. Since you like history and music, you may like it. The song is about World War I, and the music video was filmed in the Douaumont Ossuary in France. It was a big hit back in 1990.

By the way…it was one of the Greeks that fired the ramrod, not one of the eight.

This is reaction content done right. Actually adding extra information to the video. Very good!

You Frenchies are educated. Jokes aside, I appreciate a reactor with knowledge and education. Most who react to these things don't add any of their knowledge to the reaction

I love your knowledge & passion for history, particularly military history. During the US Civil War, Confederate General Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson, a military professor at The Virginia Military Institute, absolutely & completely studied & emulated Napoleon's military tactics and leadership abilities. He was the absolute most highly decorative, disciplined, effective general during the Civil War. He earned the title stonewall because he stood fearlessly alongside his troops & refused to be pushed back, holding like a Stonewall. At a time when most generals observed battles from a safe distance. He was the main reason for all the confederate victories at the beginning of the war. General Robert E. Lee proudly referred to him as his right hand. Gen Thomas Jackson was killed by friendly fire during a nighttime ambush, weeks before Gettysburg. He was extremely loved & well respected by his men. He was orphaned & raised by an African American lady. During the war, he received a telegram of her untimely death. In front of all his troops, he completely broke down like a baby in despair of losing his adopted mother. Now, I'm supper happy that Lincoln finally made the Civil War about ammancipation of slavery, & we were able to abolish such a shameful practice. Prior, many southerners considered leaving the union, with much debate of state vs federal rights. Many considered it an aggressive invasion of the federalized north. 95% of all soldiers who fought for the south had never owned a slave. They lived in a time where most people had no idea what activities were occurring in other areas of America. Particularly, isolated southerners in rural Appalachia & other rural areas.

So glad I found your channel, I absolutely love everything you had to add! Wishing you much success! Nick (The Fat Electrician) is in the middle working to a Degree in History I heard him mention on a video format podcast. I feel like he’d really enjoy your channel . I’ve heard him mention channels that react to his and he seemed to really appreciate it and one of the families he even invited to a fellow soldiers ranch to teach them how to shoot when they visited the US again. This is the first channel I’ve seen that would likely really interest him for what you have to add.

Hi, i know this video is 7 months old, i just wanted to make this comment. You talked about how campfires can be used to decieve the enemies into thinking you have more troops or your soldiers are positioned in a certain way. To this i want to add a strategy that was used in a battle during the warring states in China, where the general while retreating gave an order to reduce the number of campfires and kept reducing it as they kept retreating, that made the enemy miscalculate the ammount of soldiers he had and, believing the number of soldiers to be much lower than the real one the pursuers fell in a trap and got surrounded and defeated Found the battle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Maling

Never invade Russia and do not fight with it. Napoleon and Hitler, at the peak of their power, could not conquer Russia.

Vive La France our brothers across the pond Good video as usual

Being jus after D-day, and being Cymraeg; I have a recommendation for you. Please can you look up the Kieffer Commando's. Being French; You probably know of them better than I do, but the privilege to have your special forces train on our ground is amazing

If this was even primarily an American perspective, there would be scathing hate for de Gaulle and his actions towards driving nearly all anti colonialist movements towards the Soviet Union. Although he is generally respected, he has a mixed reputation in the US for colonialist reasons.

My 4x great grandfather was in prison for killing a man in a bareknucle boxing fight and got out when Grant came through Illinois looking for volunteers from prisons.

Happy 80th Anniversary. #RESPECT

The uinted states have repaid our debts of blood to the french for our freedom by helping you to keep yours, but admiration, love and friendship between us is unbreakable. Viva la france!

As a Brit I can safely say that we've had our ups and downs with France (a lot more downs) but I have immense respect for Napoleon and have visited his tomb in Paris I wish he had kept his throne. He didn't deserve the fate that destiny gave him, even if it was somewhat poetic
