Grover Furr has your number. Everything you present here is resoundingly debunked by the historical record. You have to let go of your anticommunist and Russophobic bias. Every western country appeased Hitler. Stalin reached out many times for an anti-axis alliance, which was rebuked so the backwards post-tsarist country ravaged by war and famine had to buy time. The idea that the Soviet Union was expansionist and seeking "domination" is completely ludicrous. Richard Pipes, Conquest, even Orwell! and Montefiore who is in Jeffrey Epstein's black book for god's sake - just for starters - all anti-communist/Russophobic intelligence assets, but they are taken as honest objective historians who have shaped our views for decades.
I’ve been their when I was a kid
Yeah. Pretty cool place.
My grandfather, 1st armored 13th reg. He survived Kasserine. Drove a Stuart. He NEVER spoke of the war other than saying they were led by Total idiots. center task force Major gen Lloyd R. Fredendall was a baffoon that nearly got everyone killed and Clark wasn't much better but he WORSHIPED Patton. SO much I would ask my granddad. He drove Tanks and half tracks but mostly Stuarts from what I can find.
Sounds like he was a great man. I agree with his assessment of the generals. Thanks for sharing.
Leaving post to celebrate his wife's birthday when the Allies were about to land at Normandy ? Not sound judgement.
@@David-hk3ly To be fair, he was also consulting with other officers in Germany.
👍
If they won we would not have a white genocide today
Bla bla bla.😅
Thank you, Mr. Carlson for giving these suggestions now i don't have to research the books it will save me time and read some comments so I have decided 5 books to read 1. The first world war by john keegan 2. First world war by martin gilbert 3. A world undone by G. J. Meyer And 2 books to read on the trench warfare how was the soldiers life in the trenches 4. Enduring the war by Alexander watson 5. Eye deep in hell by john ellis Again appreciate your video for the suggestion and also the subscribers for their suggestions
@@rajasama5894 Haply to help. Best of luck.
Click bait
❤🎉
@@bunkerfest Thanks.
I don't know why people are getting pissed at the video title, the title didn't specify it was an audio clip from the Speech at all, it just said it was ABOUT it. Either way its educational content, I'm grateful that I even found a video on this concept that wasn't censored by youtube.
@@SoloisCriminal Thanks.
@codycarlsonph.d.5591 of course, I'll take whatever youtube will let people post nowadays
You clicked the video not expecting the actual speach?
@@JoeyMartz Nope, UA-cam is just to sensitive to allow it anyway
"The myth of the great war. Howw the germans won the battles and the americans saved the allies" Pr. John Mosier. Great book
@@d.k8746 Haven’t read that one. I’ve read a few others by Mosier that I liked.
Been there.
@@kevinyoung9557 Excellent.
2:32 Isn’t there a famous photo of Hitler visiting Napoleon’s tomb after the defeat of France in 1940? Now that you have teased us, will you post a longer video with explanations of what you saw? Thanks.
@@phillipsmith4814 That’s a good idea. Maybe at some point. Thank you.
Very Nice, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for posting, I love this.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
26 year Navy veteran here. Clark must have had some talent -& a few friends- to account for his rise in the ranks. However, his last promotion put him out of reach of his talents. In my experience, I was n a position to write up a fit-rep for 2 senior officers. In each case, my CO came to me to ask if I would consider re-writing the reports. I stood my ground. All militaries suffer the same problem: senior officers cannot be made to seem incompetent. To do so is damning the promotion process. In other words: damning themselves.
Good point. Thank you for sharing that.
how about you play the speech
Why don't you?
@@codycarlsonph.d.5591 Because you're the one posting it and I'm the viewer?

@@BrianMarcus-nz7cs Indeed.
Here in blighty,,, rommel was part of the débâcle of Dunkirk,,,,,,, then in our most desperate situation he humbled us in the desert,,,,,, by a wide margin we had had it big time ,,,, it was only Enigma and the hope that the USA would save us helped us to prevail ,,,,, it became a excuse to call off any operations if a patrol was ambished by some surrendering axis troops,,,,, ring my bell , trust
My knowledge of ww1 is average I would, I know of all the stuff that happened like the specific battles and the generals in charge but I don’t quite know the specifics. The only long form piece of content I’ve listened to was blueprint for Armageddon which I really enjoyed and it had me itching to read more books about the specifics rather than a whole war overview. I just bought sleepwalkers so that’s going to be my first read of a ww1 book. What should my next couple be if my goal is learning as much about the war as possible.
@@paddyballer2512 Perhaps start with some books on the major battles, like Tannenberg by Dennis Showalter, or The Somme by Martin Gilbert. You will also want to read Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August.
Dr. Phillips O'Brien is a classic example of the stupid takes that come out of the UK. He calls himself a scholar but his emotions trump his ability to perform serious analysis make him ill suited to be a military scholar. 2022: Russian economy collapsing. 2023: You guys are all idiots just because Ukraine lost a hundred vehicles in a day doesn't mean the counteroffensive is a failure. 2024: Arggh Ukraine collapsing, we must send western troops to save them.
This is very cool. I'm glad you were able to go on the trip. But I do have a question for you, as a historian. How do you know a historic document is legit? What kind of tests do you and other colleagues do to determine the authenticity of a historical document?
It depends on a number of factors. For WWII, usually there were witnesses or people associated with the document that lived long enough to authenticate it. For older sources, there are some scientific tests you can exam to test the paper and ink, to see if it would have been used at the time. One of the greatest cases of fraud was the Hitler Diaries scam, in which a "collector" made public several volume's of the dictator's diaries. The document's authenticity was endorsed by Hugh Trevor-Roper, one of England's leading historians. It turned out the whole thing was forged, and Trevor-Roper's reputation was tarnished. The reporter that broke the story had her career ruined, and she never recovered.
This is damn cool man.
Thanks.
🐝 yup , it's like did that really happen ! Wasn't so long ago was it ,shame , nice post thanks 👍🐿️
Thank you.
Thank you Cody for showing this. Will never get there myself. My wish was to see the Australian WW1 cemeteries in France but so be it.
I'm sorry. Best of luck to you.
Have you ever been to the Channel Islands? I spent childhood holidays on Jersey exploring German bunkers. The German Underground Hospital had a effect on me as a 10 year old that WW2 were no longer war movies. I was confronted with the true horror of the nazi how they treated their forced labourers digging out the the war tunnels. The Underground Hospital had a oppressive eerie atmosphere
No, I didn't make it to the islands. That is intense. Maybe someday I can make it out there. Thanks.
@@codycarlsonph.d.5591 The Channel Islands has dark history that the Nazis had a concentration camp on Alderney to help build Rommel's Atlantic wall. The occupation of the islands probably was a microcosm what would of happened on the main land Britain if operation sealion has succeed
Very cool!!! I wish I could go!!!
Maybe someday.
What do you think about America putting carriers like the Ford and the Lincoln in the Middle East right now as a warning to Iran not to attack Israel? It seems kind of foolish to me; it makes these carriers sitting ducks. If Iran would launch a massive ballistic missile attack on them, only one missile would need to get through the air defenses to sink one of these carriers. It seems like the same mistake Truman made when he moved the fleet to Pearl Harbor. The idea of moving your might closer to your enemy as a way of warning them is ridiculous. Yes, it warns them, but at the price of making an important military asset vulnerable. I don't get it.
I knew it. I knew I'd seen the Democrat's Kamala Harris' 2024 Strength Through Joy presidential campaign somewhere before.
I remember spending so much time in the WWI section of the imperial that I lost out on time in other parts. This museum was definitely a multi day one. So much to see and learn from. Reason I was in WWI section so long…my understanding before it was near zero. Wish I had more than a day.
@@mickbeast8371 It really is a wonderful museum, and you could easily let yourself get lost in it, for sure. Thanks.
Surprised you didn't have The First World War by John Keegan, I highly recommend that and I will check out some of the books you recommend.
Keegan's book is great as well. Certainly it could have been on this list. I remember a friend bought that for me for my birthday one year. Took me a while to get to it, and I was kicking myself that I didn't get to it sooner after I read it. Thanks.
what film? (that you mention at the end)
"Patton"
A truly stunning palace. The Hall of Mirrors is a jaw dropping room. Did you pop into the stables? Also did you see the Gallery of Battles?
Saw the Gallery of Battles, but didn't make it to the stable. Thanks.
Stunning. Did you stay to watch any of the Olympics?
No. We were only there for a few days.
he built a HQ 60 miles form the front line is a coward while Macarthur has a HQ over 2000 miles from the front line and not even on the same island during the battles for PNG and is a hero?
Much different circumstances.
How did this compare to the WWII Museum in New Orleans?
The week after I returned from Europe I was at the New Orleans museum for a seminar. In my book, but the New Orleans museum is superior, but not by much.
Professor Cody, I love your lecture videos on WW2!! Will you continue to be posting new ones during the upcoming school years?
No plans to right now, but maybe down the line. Thanks.
Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
Whats your take on Winston Churchil WW2 series?
@@LoveMishra96 Do you mean Churchill’s memoirs of WWII. I read the abridged version when I was nineteen. Really good stuff, but like all memoirs, it’s a bit self-serving. Worth reading, but you need to read books by objective historians to get the full picture.
Cool
Thanks.
What an awesome share!
Thanks.
Next time your in Blighty the Royal Armouries in Leeds is well worth a visit
I've heard that's a cool one. Also want to see the tank museum in Bovington.
@@codycarlsonph.d.5591 I can recommend a visit, especially on one of the days when they have the Tiger up and running and the workshed is open so you can see all the tanks not normally on display.
@@codycarlsonph.d.5591 Ive never been to the Tank Museum it has a very impressive collection. If you ever venture up to Yorkshire also visit Edam Camp a ex POW camp now a WW2 museum they have recently restored a Churchill Crocodile. Ha I should be sponsored by the Yorkshire tourist board.
@@alexcorbett1189 Sounds awesome.
Perhaps one day we will see you down here at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
I'd love to. I've got a niece in Melbourne. Maybe I should pay her a visit.
