    The fact that we get free documentaries from National Geographic on UA-cam is priceless.., keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👍
    May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
    Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth.
    In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
    Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

    7:30 my granduncle was a Lieutenant (second in command) on a German submarine in WWII. They were send to disrupt the invasion fleet during the Normandy landings. Before he departed he told my grandfather "If I return, I'll become an Admiral', knowing how unlikely his return would be. He never returned and their fate was classed as a mystery wreckage of WWII for a long time. I believe they have only recently changed that status.

    The question with the most obvious answer, and the most asked in my opinion is "was it worth it?" Well if you're not a handful of German's still living on barowed time, YES!!! Anything and much more is worth the entire world in the hands of a bunch of narcissistic psychopaths. However the question I would ask is could the whole thing have been prevented and how??? Why is that not the absolute most asked question since the end of the war? Second only to how to break our reliance on nuclear and fossil fuels???

      Fact (censored by USA): Germans would have liquified all the D-Day landers had it not been for Russia. 80% Germans were busy fighting Russia. Only a fraction of Germans were at the Normandy coast. And even this small fraction caused huge casualties among the Americans and British.
      National Geographic, unfortunately, will not tell you the truth. American and British survivors of D-Day owe their lives to Russians.

    *M7 PRIEST GUN FACT CORRECTION*
    During the early stages of World War II, US Army observers realized that they would need a self-propelled artillery vehicle with sufficient firepower to support armored operations. Lessons learned with half-tracks (such as the T19 Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC) with a 105 mm howitzer on the M3 Half-track chassis) also showed that this vehicle would have to be armored and fully tracked. It was decided to use the M3 Lee chassis as the basis for this new vehicle design, named T32. The pilot vehicles used the M3 chassis with an open-topped superstructure, mounting an M2A1 105 mm howitzer, with a machine-gun added after trials.
    The T32 was accepted for service as the M7 in February 1942 and production began that April. The British Tank Mission had requested 2,500 to be delivered by the end of 1942 and a further 3,000 by the end of 1943, an order which was never fully completed.
    As the M4 Sherman tank replaced the M3, it was decided to continue production using the M4 chassis (the M4 chassis was a development of the M3). The M7 was subsequently supplanted by the M37 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage (on the "Light Combat Team" chassis that also gave the M24 Chaffee light tank).

Could this kind of wartactics have been used at these points?? A steady point of 'dropping' at a very high altitude, out of radarcontroll? is possible than?
