022 - The Enigma of Germany's Wartime Economy - WW2 - January 26 1940
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- This week shows the Allies first attempts to break the German Enigma code. Meanwhile, the German war economy shows some flaws and the Soviets are massing artillery in an effort to break the Finnish defences.
As the Winter War rolls on the only help the Finns are getting are from volunteers. The Western Allies still have their thoughts on Norway, little do they know that the Phoney War almost ends this week...

Also Happy Birthday Mrs. Nidell!
@@marcusbierman5310 I literally spent all of last week binge watching the entire channe. Easily some of the best content on all of UA-cam

@Hyperious For a while on TGW, I was watching it 101 years to the day. One week I tried to binge 52 episodes, but of course that same week my internet went down so it took me two weeks to get caught up. :P
Happy birthday Joy!
I've devoured hours of footage from ww1 and now ww2 with Indy. Only today I cried. Only today.
Joy to the world!!!!

"This stuff really didn't happen that long ago" - You're right, and that's the scariest thing about it. It didn't happen that long ago, which means it could very easily happen again.
In geologic time it happened 25x10-8 years ago.
It basically happened yesterday.
ukrain war is happening now
@@dantheman3022 Yup... a lot of us feel we are always on the brink of WW3. Right now Russia is withdrawing and I fear they could be taking their people back to drop "something" (I don't even wanna say it) over a particular Ukrainian city or town. I don't know. The world they made for us post September 11, 2001 makes many of us feel the anguish of impending crimes against humanity every single fucking day.
Wow
Wow, right in the feels there at the end! Congrats Indy & mom!
Damn those feels are real. Made a lump in my throat.

Wow, indeed.
My great grandma was working in labour and concentration camps in Poland. She told me that the Poles purposely made the equipment faulty and of lowest quality for the germans as a way of resistance. Everybody did what they could, no one can EVER break the Polish spirit. Long live Poland!
Many happy returns to Joy!
Thanks a lot, pal! She's gotten a lot of love on the channel today!
Aaaaaah yes. Let's just take a moment to applaud the ingenuity behind the title!
A three man job between Indy, Spartacus and Joram ;-) Teamwork!
happy birthday Joy Nidell!
A very touching ending to a grim week. And a reminder that we are connected to history, whether we like it or not.
Happy birhday to your mother Indy. I've lost both my grandfathers who fought in the Finnish front. My grandfather from my father side was only 16 when he was sent to the front. Until few years ago my father disliked my grandfather for his behaviour when my father was groing up (he was born in 1945) but looking back he realized that his father was suffering from what we would this day call PTSD. Back then in Finland nothing was really being done about this and young men (children) coming back from the frontand they received no help to deal with the horrors they had just witnessed.
My grandfather on my mothers side was injured. He was hit by sharpnel from an artillery shell that hit a tree above him. He lost few fingers and was also hit in the face by sharpnel. I remember one of visits in the veteran hospital where he was treated during the last years of his life. One man in his room was repeatedly calling for his comrads to help him. "Don't leave me!" he kept shouting in a crying voice while sleeping. It was heathbreaking. It was clear that then around 90 year old man was reliving the war again and again whenever he was sleeping.
I respect what my grandparents did during the war and I can never really understand the horrors they went through or so I hope. Neither of my grandfathers ever talked about he war. In the early two thousands in our summer cottage my then remaining grandfather almost shared some of his stories while a bit drunk but in the end all he said was we don't really want to know what he went through. No one pushed him for a story after that. It is a shame that we cannot hear of their exploits during the war but at the sametime I respect their decision whether or not they ever decided to talk about what happened during the war. I must have been absolute hell for young men or to anyother person living back then.
"No the trains don't run on time" Haha that line really got me
I find the lack of excessive background phones in this opening greatly disturbing.
I felt a great disturbance. As if a million phones suddenly fell silent in terror.
Happy Birthday Joy! You have given us a great gift. Of course as someone who has followed your son for over four years I have a simple question. Given his age. How did you know to name him after a certain movie hero's dog nearly half a century ago?
Thank goodness not the "dam busters" dog. Now that would have caused a whole host of problems for him.
@Tom Dick Oddly enough the 1950s (60s?) film is not cut on UK TV. I really was expecting it would be. Unless I am mixing it up with another film, I am sure they broadcast a warning/explanation at the beginning. As much as I am reluctant to bring down the scorn of you tube comments on myself, I would not lose sleep if they did edit it. I would feel different if they edited the book.
Funny thing is my mother's German shepherd was called the N word and that was during the war . It was a black dog and I don't think any racial intent was meant, it was just another word for black.
Besides you can't judge people's morals in the past on today's morality
@@philsosshep4834 Sure you can. Whatever was more acceptable was still known as dickish then
I loved that ending … in the Great War we contemplated and followed the experiences of our grandparents … now it is our parents' generation at war and in peril.
To many if not most of the world's people today it's their grand and great-grandparents generation. "Don't you feel small? It happens to us all."
Yeah I have no idea, it’s all gibberish

I hope that they do an episode like out of the trenches all about the cryptology used in WWII. It really was the first war where radio was a crucial component for military operations, and was pivotal in the war with things like the cracking of enigma and the US cracking IJN codes for Midway.

"Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects." - Kreia.
it amazes me how lack luster the allies response to actually being at war was
Indy was part of the cast of Battlefront 2 according to IMDb.
The Great War, as it was known back then, was later held up as the War to End All Wars. Every tiny village across the land built a war memorial where you can read the names of the dead to this day. After it was all over, many women were left to live out their lives as spinsters because the men were gone. People did not think going to war was some glorious adventure, but you, Brady, are not alone in being attracted to the idea. It is a foolishness inspired amongst tomorrow's cannon fodder by today's warmongers. Wise up.
Knights of the old republic 2 had some truly great writing
@@robinmorritt7493 and people like you Robin, pathetic cowardly defeatists are the reason Hitler was allowed to rise to power demand what he wanted and occupy Europe for over 4 years and commit genocides and other horrific war crimes.
War is necessary whether you like it or not
He did a few droid voices the actual game - even cooler though - he pre-recorded the voices for the actual stars so that they (who are often not professional voice actors) had a correctly timed template to work against.
Happy Joy Day!
History is written by the victors. Poles break enigma, save thousands of Judes, created decode machine "bomb", helped Brytain in air. who appreciated it? Who knows that? Great material and content. You are doing awesome work. Good bless U.
Andrzejibn - the Polish contribution to the war effort is well known and appreciated. And, don't forget, at least Great Britain and France declared war on Germany when they invaded Poland. Nobody else responded in that way. Both Great Britain and France were reluctant to fight because of the huge number of deaths their armies suffered in the First World War - but they still committed to show solidarity to Poland.
cringe. history is written by historians.
The Polish were the victors and history is written by historians.
@@hobmoor2042 Come on, there was no any "solidarity" towards Poland whatsoever, just self interest and deception. Signing the allince pact with Poland Brits did not mean to attack Germany, they just found the way to protected themselves from German aggression for a time being, turning Germany against Poland. More to that, Brits after signing pact with Poland had learned secret supplement to the Moscow's Ribentropp-Molotov agreement (about Germany and Soviets attacking Poland together) but they had shared this with France only, not with Poland, which they wanted both to engage in solitary war for as long as possible. So where was "solidarity"? :) From the British perspective signing alliance with Poland was the mean to protect their own ass, to gain time to prepare defend itself. It was cold calculated pragmatism, Britain's self interest but no loyalty to the ally. It is not the accusation of how immoraly UK had behaved and actually betrayed Poland, because in world's politics there is no morality or honor. I just state historic facts which came out many years after the war from the British archives.
In 21 century there is no need anymore to hide anything about WW2. Only the Russian archives are closed again though in the 90's, when Yeltsin was president, they were open to historians.
Oh yes! The super-nerds to the rescue: Rejewski, Zygalski, Różycki and Turing. :)
BTW obligatory nitpick about the Polish pronunciation: the letter j is always pronounced like the English y. The sound that j usually makes in English (more or less) is actually spelled as "dż".
Happy birthday to Indy's mom!
Artur M. I see commonwealth, i like carry on Brat, Broli!
As a Dane, let's all just agree that the English pronunciation of the letter j is nonsense.
Indy does his best. He even mastered pronunciation of Przemyśl:)
As a belgian, let's all just agree that the English way of saying "j" is just stupid
As an American lets just say that "j" and "y" have two different pronunciations. Are you going to pronounce jelly as yelly?
The war didn't happen long ago indeed. My grandpa who still lives in Montevideo till this very day told me that when he was a child he saw Graf Spee at the port, and some days later he could hear the explosions from when the ship was scuttled by it's crew. It's crazy to imagine that all those events didn't happen that long ago.
It's weird when you think of history that way. For us today, history seems like a bunch of distant stories and it's really hard to think that they actually happened. It wasn't so long ago when my grandmother was watching the naval and aerial battles around Leyte.
My grandfather passed four years ago. He remembered the end of World War ONE, and fought in WWII as the oldest enlisted man in his company. He was born in 1912, so you could say he cheated by living to triple digits, but when I think of his life it really drives home how little time has really passed since *both* World Wars.

wow, the 3D maps are classy as hell!
Especially if you are wearing the 3d glasses that accompany this series. It really is, 'as if you were there'.
Such a great point that this isn't old history. I think about how I was born in the year 2000, 55 years after the war and currently we are 77 years after the war. Blows my mind to think that a few of my short lifetimes is all that separates us from such unimaginable realities.
Indeed, but that is distance enough for us to seemingly forget the lessons this tragedy should teach us. That’s why we do this, in the small hope that we can keep the memory of this conflict alive.
1:40 people often confuse "recovery" for "growth". The German economy grew really fast under nazism, yes, but that was because after the Weimar crashes and the 1929 stock crash it had bedn in shambles. It was less "growing" and more "betting back to speed"
Yeah, it's funny decades later people still believe that Hitler saved the German economy, but it points to the power of the Nazi propaganda from the time. The German industry was basically producing war material paid for by Government IOUs prior to the outbreak of war. Not exactly a sustainable model.
@@neues3691 except they NSDAP did not adhere to a strictly socialist doctrine and were only socialists in name.
@@neues3691
TIL economic policies are enough to determine ideological stance - or that any ideology outside of ivory towers has ever dealt exclusively with economy.
Also, democracy is horrible for markets too. Democratic North Korea is a testament to this.
@@neues3691 Well, they insist on calling themselves democratic. Isn't it enough these days?
There's very few arguments for "nazis = socialists" that are more mentally deficient than focusing on a selection of economic policies. "NSDAP meant national socialists therefore socialism!" is one of them, right up there with "Democratic North Korea therefore democracy!".
This obsession with economy as some exclusive, magical litmus paper for ideology is almost... marxist.
@@neues3691 Oh boy, the stupid "Nazis were socialists, it's in the name" nonsense. Todays education has really made a lot of peeps dumber than a sack of hammers.
It's first time I hear honest history about cracking enigma code and part of the pols in it! Even BBC couldn't compare.
It is true, and it does not take away from Alan Turing's genius, or Bletchly Park's vital contribution to the war to acknowledge the people who's work they built on.
This is an incredibly taut and well made series - I salute you. I am the last survivor of a family of Poles, Czechs and Germans (and later adopted Liverpudlians) that was nearly 200 strong before that war. Many - 47 died in the camps, 3 were executed for their part in the July 20th plot, many more died in the fighting - for the Germans, the Czechs, the Poles, the British and as I found out many years later, for the Russians and the Polish partisans. 4 were paratroopers of which 2 survived the war, 2 worked at Bletchley Park, unbeknownst to each other and they never told each other. A large, but unknown number died in air raids and other actions as civilian deaths. Some survived the war, but I was the only child born after war in 1959. I have a daughter, but the family name dies with me. So - I was born 14 years after the war ended, but it would utterly shape my life. The English couple who adopted this German child died in the 1990s.
With all this in mind, I was deeply touched and got a little teary at the last entry about your mother, Joy - it brings it home and its nearness is crystalised. As for your Grandfather, Basil - I know of him, what a great man he was.
Again, I salute you, and all who make this series. Wonderful work.
The ending of this is incredibly moving. My father lived through the Blitz. It really isn't that long ago. Though fortunately it feels like a world away. Thank you for this series.

can you guys do an episode like out of the trenches all about the cryptology used in WWII? It really was the first war where radio was a crucial component for military operations, and was pivotal in the war with things like the cracking of enigma and the US cracking IJN codes for Midway.
That would be great, but I would also like to hear about US, British, and Soviet codes, there is really no information about how they were devised, and how effective they were agienst the Axis, apart for the Najavo codetalkers, and their glorious contribution.
Not the first. In the Polish Soviet War of 1919-1920, the Soviets used the radio to communicate between armies. Poles broke soviet codes. This significantly helped to choose the Battle of Warsaw and the Battle of the Niemen in 1920
My grandma was alive when Nazi troops were going on her farm and field, stealing her apples and onions. She told me alot of stories of soldiers flirting with all the women in the village and alot more. No, the second World War was not that far ago, not at all. It might be in about 50-100 years, but we are not there yet. Its still fresh in our minds. :)

The Winter War was probably the best thing that could have happened to the USSR. It began fixing all the problems with the millitary, and forced the Soviet command to adopt modern tactics. If the Winter War hadn't occured, be it because Finland caved to Soviet demands, or those demands had never been made in the first place, Soviet forces wouldn't have modernized their tactics. In 1941, this would have been disastrous. Soviet forces wouldn't have a chance of saving Moscow, or Leningrad. Germany would have steamrolled the USSR even worse than they did in Barbarrossa.
Indeed. Sometimes you need to suffer a failure in order to question your way of doing
One could argue that the Soviet performance against Finland gave Hitler the confidence to strike against the Soviets before they had a chance to rearm & reorganise.
The Soviets had on paper a massive numerical superiority in man, tanks, aircraft, production capacity & raw materials.
We shall have to keep tuning in each week to see how it pans out.
@@OneLeatherBoot True. The poor results during the winter war gave the impression of weakness of the Red Army, however it wouldn't change the German decision to attack because they had to fight at some moment and once France is defeated and Great Britain is driven from continent (Dunkirk and later Greece) the only remain real opponent is Soviet Union.

I was born in Russian Viipuri in the 80s. many of the bunkers and fortifications are still there in the woods. Finns have been visiting Viipuri for as long as I can remember to see their lost land and put memorials to fallen relatives. For a long time I was under the impression that Viipuri was a small peripheral border town before the war. But then I discovered it was actually a very important, second largest city in Finland with lots of famous historical landmarks, some of which were ruined by war and subsequent soviet rule. Thank you for completing the historical context for me in these great series.
Indy, your closing comments gave me goosebumps and put a new light on the entire series. All the best to you and your family.
At 7:55 I can see my grandfather's home village (next village southwest of Kämärä) and maybe even THE house or ..its ruins... Anyway, I guess there is no need to tell how awesome these maps are!... A great video as always! Greetings from Finland.

Happy birthday to Your Mom!
And thank You very much! Finally someone said who really broke enigma for the first time. I wonder, how many non-Polish watchers actually knew that?
And thank You as well for mentioning forced labour. It's estimated that during the WWII between 12 and 15 million people mostly from occupied countries of Central and Eastern Europe were forced to work in Germany (including around 1,6 million Polish civilians and around 300 thousend Polish POWs). Till 1944 forced labour made around 1/4 of overall labour force in Germany. They were forced to work for almost every major German company: IG Farben (todays BASF), Bosch, Daimler-Benz, Thyssen, Krupp, Henschel, Junkers, Philips, Siemens, Volkswagen, Blaupunkt but also... Ford Motor Company and General Motors in Germany. So many of those people died, for so many of these companies to survive and get richer...
And just an interesting fact which should be attached to your first episode. The first german nazi concentration camp on Polish occupied territory has been establish the 2nd of September 1939. Yes, the very next day, when the WW2 broke out with german forces invading Poland. It has been established in Sztutowo (Stutthof), 36 km from Gdansk (Danzig). It has been liberated (the Red Army entered literally empty camp) the 9th of May 1945, which makes KL Stutthof the longest operating concentration camp on territories occupied by Germans. It's very well preserved and definitely worth visiting.
The reason he always starts the episode by putting down the phone is because he has a strict schedule to give his mom a call every week. It just so happens that he has to also record for this series every week, so... He does them both at once.
I'm loving this show! Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Well done. Amazing how often people forget that wars are fought with human beings, not machines.

Thank you Indy for sharing. You are the hook that keeps us all coming back.
The truth is ..... they were THREE Polish friends, very talented mathematicians from Polish Western University of the city of POZNAN, and they were ordered by the Polish Government to work together, to finally crack down German "Enigma" codes. All three of them were fluent in the German language. Poznan city and the whole Wielkopolska Region, before the Great War, was occupied by Prussia for more than 120 years, It was the territory of the first Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth Kingdom, So those three Polish guys, as kids, they were attending their schools with the German language as a major. > On the happy day of November 11th, 1918, when the Republic of Poland came back on the map of Europe again, Poznan City together with the majority of the Western Wielkopolska Region, and after anti-german successful Polish Uprising ..... it came back to Poland.

So USSR will go into Finland artillery only?
No. It's much more then that. You will see next week the first glance the reason why red army was terryfying opponent in WW2.
Now it all makes sense. Soviet organization was so low that making artillery only increased their org.
There is a "slogan" : "Artillery conquer, infantry occupy". Largest fight in nordic countries, in Ihantala 1944, artillery caused 90% of casultaties both side (some picture of how effective it is, finns could shoot 6 hectare are 2000 rounds in 1 minute, it will do job). But then finns have ammunition, winter war they dont have. Soon, there will be pretty strong artillery action.

3 Polish mathematicians broke the enigma and for many years before the war they read German messages and they created the cryptological bomb on the basis of which Turing created his version
@@Belianify Still the father of the computer
god damn the ending gave me the chills, a big thanks and god bless all of you working on this great project
What a lovely touch at the end, Indy you never fail to bring a human feel to things, got a tear in my eye, anyway, great work all!!

"It didnt happen that long ago." So true
