My interest in WW 2 has lead me to dozens of books and hundereds of videos. Your video was a excellent overview leading up to the fall of France. Very enjoyable.
Hitler:What? Mussolini: Uuuhhhhh, is there any chance u can come down to Greece for a few weeks? Like, NOW? PLEASE!!?? Hitler: What? U want me to postpone my invasion of the Soviet union and divert my troops to Greece? Ok ok ok. Shouldn't take more than 3 weeks. We should still have enough time before winter hits.
how am I suppose to have sleepy time with a three minute and ten second intro? I need the soft, relaxing European English voice informing me of the atrocities by Nazis to put me to sleep.
@@dgoins6 I just meant the first part, jokingly. I know what you mean. I watch documentaries that drone on for an hour or so to nod off . So understood. ☮️
What is not known is that France-Chechoslavkia - Soviet Union had an agreement and war should have happened when Hitler invaded Chechoslavkia in 1938. Poland and the Soviet Union hated each other. The Soviets lost trust in the West after the Munich agreement seeing that under Chamberlin and Halifax the British preferred the Germans. The Soviets then became greedy and using their hatred of the Poles entered into the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact which meant disaster for the European continent.
They're not so innocent now either, are they ?! Attacks on ethnic Germans in former German territory and land grabbing in Czechoslovakia. No moral victory for Poland or anyone in this war. The bloated ego of their Elites cost their country dearly.
@@alexkid7166 Germany always wanted to invade Poland regardless of what they did and the Soviets always wanted the land from Poland. Regardless of how the Polish acted, Poland would've been invaded anyways. After all, Germany's intention was always to get a land border with the Soviets so that they can actually invade the Soviets.
Someone forgot to mention Germanic people's, divided, carved up and gifted to Poland at the end of WW1. This was the German goal of reunification. A return of this may have avoided this entire chapter, but I doubt it! After severing parts of the Germanic people and flaunting it since ww1, this was probably unavoidable. The treaty of Versailles did More to cause WW2, than ANY single PERSON.
I made it to 5:28. France and especially Britain continually rebuffed Stalin's attempts at an alliance. For Chamberlain's Tories, getting in bed with the Bolsheviks was unpalatable.
I often hear people ask how could soldiers still carry on fighting when their city lay in ruins. It is very simple, WWII was a war of annihilation & to the last man. If Germany had conquered their goals & only had one home left standing in germany while the USSR had none that would be a victory, likewise, if germany lost 100m people but USSR lost 101m then that too would be a victory. It wasnt anything liek today's wars. If Germany or the USSR had nukes back then they wouldve used it without any hesitation - they would absolutely level each other's nations there is no doubt about it - all they care about is who is left standing at the end, and if nobody was left standing that too would be a victory in their eyes as "at least we took them with us" type of mindset. Crazy bastards
@@daniellee5147 Yeah, it shows a lot of depth in the Eastern front and stuff that wasn't talked about much like the Baltic & Black sea front, Soviet invasion of Manchuria, Romania and Bulgaria switching sides, etc. all while being pretty entertaining with their re-enactment and animations.
First, the russians killed around 20-24.000 officers and high rank officials at Katyn,, not 4.000. Secondly who managed to get to UK or France they did it across Romania, in my my hometown Ramnicu Valcea they stayed during the whole war a few thousands polish people, also the polish gold was here for safe keeping

Best intro ever. Only takes 3 minutes.

That's where they be wrong

The intro is the most beautiful part

Nice show
Interesting tidbit: the Germans did not come up with blitzkrieg. A man named Percy Hobart did.
are you the creator or Narrator of these documentaries? They are excellent a something I haven't seen before
Lockdown tv who else watchin this
am a student now in a lesson wow quite funny ha but research work this frecks me out
5:00 - 10:00 Most of the shown material has been captured in USSR in 1941-1943, not during the Fall Weiss in Poland.
Go straight to 3.05
a duel attack by Germany and the USSR? omg the Polish Military won a moral victory. sheer bravery

Thank you!
I'm here before WWIII breaks out.
Are you sure it hasn't already started?
Much of the footage is part of many other docs.
Wish I knew what Charles was talking about, I’m not even from the south.

Tiaan sorry, but you are a victim of all this Allies propaganda dokus.
@@frankylee7442 Watch the Soviet Storm documentary here on youtube and you'll see just how incredibly desperate the situation is on both sides.
@@imlivingunderyourbed7845 is that documentary worth watching?

How amazing the Fins are. Littered the snow w/ STALIN CORPSES
Simo Hayha was awesome.
And today, Stalin's corpses litter Ukraine. Russia learned nothing from WW2
That was a bloody long intro
ridiculous huh?!?!
They fight for europe
Europa the final battle is better but it’s banned

American Patriot Party .CC. - Educate Yourself. Educate Others.
it's just a geographic fact. few natural boundaries to hold back invading armies
Simplistic narration to put it mildly.
the Polish people are formidable. but always cursed with strategically indefensible terrain.
I don't think Narvik was a total victory they lost all those ships which could of been used for invasion of England
Don't watch the documentary Europa the last battle
Kir
oh yea yea
doublya doublya two ruled
Will German deserved to Winn because the had the guts to attack and the Allies didn't had the guts to attack so the deserved to ĺoos so the did.
Yea they won until they decided to get the USA and Russia pissed off
TRUMP
Yes?
Lost. Then committed treason. What a scumbag. What a disgrace. What a fraud.

Why do I hear horse sounds when it is tanks on the screen? Wtf is that?
scaryb69 Because Poland fought with a calvary army against the German panzer.
