Lego WW2 - The Battle of the Bulge - stopmotion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2020
- On December 16, 1944, the Germans launched their last major offensive of WW2, intending to split the Allies' lines in two.
As the Germans advanced through the Ardennes Forest the Americans were caught completely by surprise and were pushed back, creating a bulge in their frontline which gave the battle its name.
The german's initial success did not last, however, and their advance was stopped ten days later as overwhelming numbers of Allied forces arrived.
In the following weeks, the Germans were driven back and lost all the ground they had previously taken.
The Battle of the Bulge lasted about six weeks with both sides taking around 90,000 casualties
each, but unlike the allies, the Germans had drained their resources and manpower and would
never recover. - Розваги
Many legos lost their pieces on that day...............

Everything is so smooth, the effects are on point, and the set is stunning. This is one of the best stop motions I've ever seen.
Agreed. I've never seen stop-motion so smoothly done before. Really good.

I agreed tooo
Agreed, the stopmotion is so smooth
Is this an stop motion????? Or a animation?? Xd

My great grandfather fought in this battle as an American combat medic under the command of General Patton. He said that in the war, when you walked it was best to not look at the ground because you weren’t walking on the ground… it was all bodies. If I’m not mistaken I believe this is when he “acquired” his german luger. He wouldnt ever tell us anything else about the war but he made it sound like he killed a few germans in his time even as a medic.
You'r grandfather is a g 👍
Ur great grandfather is one out of 13000 soldiers left alive!

Oh no pak found me
Gotta run
I love the way you found alternatives to just destroying the legos. Like the 1x1 Brick with the hole inside for the tank hits. It really hurts to see scratched or demolished parts in a animation
Ikr I hate seeing the destroyed parts, even though it looks more real
Brictator does damage their parts, but to good effect.

Historic Fun Fact: There were three US Armies in the Battle of the Bulge.
The first was, well, the 1st US Army under Lieutenant General Courtney Hodges. It was the 8th Corps (Major General Troy Middleton, Commanding), 1st US Army in the Ardennes at the time. The Germans hit them and despite how hard they hit, their biggest success was only capturing two Regiments of 106th Infantry Division, though the third escape capture and was able to regain the Division's honor until paired with another Regiment to reconstitute the Division back up to strength.
The second army was, of course, the famed 3rd US Army of Lieutenant General George S. Patton Jr. As anyone knows, it was Patton and his 3rd Army that withdrew from attacking the Germans to their east to go north to slice through the Germans to reach the forces under Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe at Bastogne, relieving the siege.
Now the third army, which is often overlooked, to fight in the Battle of the Bulge was the newly formed 9th US Army. Guys were so new; they were barely Corps-strength when they started fighting. So, new in fact, the Germans didn't even realize they existed until AFTER they attacked.
Ironically, the 9th US Army was also on the attack and was able to successfully retrograde when everyone realized the Germans were launching an offensive. The cut off surviving northern elements of the 8th Corps was briefly folded into 9th US Army. The Germans never succeeded at dislodging them either and instead almost began to immediately lose ground in counterattacks.
So, there are the three US Armies involved in the Battle of the Bulge:
1st US Army
3rd US Army
9th US Army
As another fun fact, it should be noted I said 'Forces' rather than '101st Airborne Division' when speaking about General McAuliffe. As the 101st was not alone at Bastogne. These included:
Combat Command R of the 9th US Armored Division
Combat Command B of the 10th US Armored Division
The mauled 333rd African American Field Artillery Battalion (which was folded into the 969th)
969th African American Field Artillery Battalion
755th Field Artillery Battalion
58th Armored Field Artillery Battalion
420th Armored Field Artillery Battalion
35th Engineer Battalion
158th Engineer Battalion
705th Tank Destroyer Battalion
Team SNAFU (aptly named)
Plus, a mix of other soldiers from wherever they could be found or shoehorned in to defend Bastogne.
Additional reinforcements, mostly Medical Corps, were airdropped as the weather would later permit before the siege was first pierced, adding more forces immediately to McAuliffe's command, and then the siege was relieved with a number of units being reassigned back to their original command elements.
Oh my lord

@@ehanayaanrocks yes he has (I guess)

Winston Churchill called The Battle of The Bulge to “American’s greatest battle of World War Two”
And it truly was. It shows just how unwilling the US armed forces are to give in. These men were stuck in freezing conditions, little to no supplies, and weak manpower. In fact, most of their lines had no ammo.
They had to rely on shipments coming in through snowstorms.
Ah impressive, most impressive, indeed. Well done man this was pretty great, keep up the good work!
starwarsstudio100 any news on outbreak 4
I know right

Bruh he is shooting the us Army
@@Matthew_bricks24 obviously you didn’t get the joke.
Yeah poor tiger :(
Nobody thinks of the tiger { : (
Historic Peeves here:
The Tigers depicted are Tiger I models. At that range, the US M4 Sherman's 75mm would actually penetrate the front armor of Tiger 1 at ranges under 800 yards. It was only 4 inches of armor at a very limited degree. The M4 Sherman actually had BETTER frontal protection due to its greater slope with slightly more than half the armor, up to 3 inches plus whatever else was added.
The 88mm was originally an Anti-Aircraft Gun. If it can blow the wing off a B-17 Flying Fortress at more than 10,000 feet, than an M4 Sherman would be punched through at less than 2,000 feet.
Another thing, which is more cosmetic, is the addition of the roof-mounted MGs on the Tiger. Despite drawings and designs that were supposed to have them, few German Tanks were actually ever armed with roof-mounted MGs. The Germans simply didn't have enough of them and so the crews had to decide which gun to sacrifice.
Typically, if it had a roof-mounted MG, then that German Tank lacked a hull-mounted MG. Unlike their Allied adversaries. I have heard there were cases of the Germans mounting captured weapons in place of their own missing roof-mounted MGs.
Third would be the destruction of the Sherman. The M4 Sherman was actually not often completely blown up on one shot. Especially like that, unless the ammunition was hit. Reports and investigations both verified that ammunition stowage was the issue. The issue was fourfold:
Location
Loose
Unshielded
Fire-Prone
The US Army corrected each flaw as best they could. The most obvious had been the M4A3E8 Sherman 'Easy Eight.' Well, more like the most famous of the variants, but most of its siblings in the E Group got all the right mods. The differences were typically something involving the engines and tracks.
The Ammo locked into floor-mounted lockers that were both shielded (meaning nothing secondary would set them off) and protected by water bladders that would burst upon either being heated up or hit themselves.
While not all Shermans could get that kind of protection, all efforts were made and Shermans of all models enjoyed the Lowest Destruction and Burn-Out Rates by the end of the war. Unlike all of their German opponents, who, at the end of the day, suffered an attrition of 100% plus those vehicles seized at factories.
Last one, the US Army had 57mm Anti-Tank Guns. Bigger and meaner than the 37mm depicted. While not impressive sounding, the 57mm was a threat to Tigers at 1,000 yards or less. Interesting fun fact, 1,000 yards was the most reliable accuracy range for the 57mm and its best penetration point too. The closer the Tanks got, the less effective the 57mm became, but that's more academic as the German Tanks would have to be at a range of 200 yards or less to render the 57mm almost useless.
In fact, during the Battle of Stavelot (if I recall right), a battery of 57mm guns stopped the first thrust by German Tigers cold. These were Tiger 1s. Tiger 2s were used in the second assault and that armor thickness on the front was thicker (literally) than a Battleship's armored plate. You'd need a Cruiser firing 6in Guns to make short work of Tiger 2 because despite the thickness, it wasn't warship grade armor.
Edit: Oh right. Tigers could only be killed with rear shots. Not inaccurate, any Tank shot in the rear is likely to be knocked out. Only complete destruction of the Tanks, especially outright, is rare.
More often than not, the engines catch fire and the crew bails out.
Tiger's side armor was not as thick as its front armor. Actually, Panther was notoriously vulnerable to flanking fire to the point that obsolete Anti-Tank Rifles were known to pierce areas just behind the road wheels. Both Tiger and Panther had only 2 inches of side armor, less than Sherman's frontal armor. The same applied to their rear armor, a mere 2 inches.
I think most of the 'Shoot them in the tail' concepts come from the fact that Tanks can be blind to their rear. German Tanks had been originally constructed with pistol firing ports in the turret and hull sides. So, it was likely safer to shoot them in the tail, where there was no firing port.
Another thing I have noticed, is the number of kill shots to helmets. Actually, there is little historical accuracy to say helmets had no bullet resistance in the Second World War. Honestly, the US Helmets adopted in the 1980s only provided a third more better protection and far less utility than the M1 Helmet. Only the most recent helmets have become far superior to their WW2 counterparts.
German helmets were actually designed with a level of thickness aimed at stopping bullets. Not 100% effective and a new design was trialed, but Hitler said no. If it was good enough for him in the last war, the German soldiers would keep using only updated versions.
The East German Army (Nationale Volksarmee) would adopt the rejected design Post-WW2 as their attempt to keep a True German Army alive.
American helmets were also designed with bullet resistance and were actually somewhat successful. After all, if the helmets didn't work, a lot more soldiers would have died from headshots. The Germans just had a love affair with high velocity munitions. Unlike everyone else.
Otherwise, Historic Peeves, and I do enjoy these videos.
I'm surprised you're not being hired professionally to do these for big corporations.

Cheers!🍻
This video is elaborate and well thought of! Bravo. Even the working of the Panzer VI is portrayed accurately, most videos/even films show the Tiger tank shooting its main 88 mm gun while in motion, but it wasn't true- everytime it had to fire, the engines had to halt. Even the sights of the tiger and Sherman tanks are correct!
ឲឮឱឮឮឱឮ
Wrong. Tigers had order to stop for firing. But it was not technically necessary... Wittman was expert for 'drive combat'.
yeah, no clue where you got that wrong "to shoot the engine has to be off". How would that even make mechanical sense? The engine has nothing to do with firing the cannon. It was just adviced to halt your tank before shooting because any bump or hole in the ground can raise or lower your cannon, so you might waste a shot when shooting on the move.
@@XpVersusVista blowing the engine probably most likely sent shrapnel into not only the crew, but the ammo rack causing the main gun to pop. Let alone the explosion from diesel, engine, and the rpg.. with other flammable and explosive objects in the tank. Which isn't that big inside, it's compact enough to be somewhat comfortable, hitting your head on steel from ever bump or impact. Oh I see what you mean sorry, but info is still here for anyone curious.
@@gallaieousyehudai12 they were told to slow for shooting as the 8.8cm would recoil badly causing potential transmission issues

Wait, but he's Scottish, he knew a German?
Thats oddly specific but anyways
Respect
holy crap mate the amount of detail you put into this man the the gun push back and recoil this was insane
These stop motions never cease to amaze me.
There is no end to how well done this stop motion is. good sound effects they are quite realistic, well-timed too, good effects, I like the snow effect and the river is quite well done. also great music. It is amazing how you can be aware enough to move all the pieces that needed moving I often forget to move one piece or another and the trees are really cool and I like the flat white pieces used as snow attached on the trees. and the sound effect and the smoke effect of the guy smoking was pretty good. and I quite like how you use Aperture to blur the trees and focus on the tanks traveling through the forest. I also like how you show the guy in the tank firing the machine gun. I like the house wreck too(you must have a tonne, quite literally of lego to make the entire set) I quite like the different types of shots used for example when we first see the german tank it is a low angle shot to give them an intimidating appearance. All in all, this is a really good stop Motion, Well done, and keep up the awesome work!
Edit: By The Way It would be appreciated if you like this so he sees it.

Good afternoon. This is my first time on your channel, and I thought that there was bad animation, but after watching this video, I realized that I was wrong. I will definitely watch your other lego animations !!!
if there are any mistakes in this comment, I immediately say that I am Russian
Perfect English!
The sound effects for these are actually pretty good,considering. By this time,the Germans had used up a lot of their resources(troops,ammo,etc)so this was the last gasp. I can't imagine being involved in this type of campaign that late in the war. I do like watching these though. They've recently popped up on my video feed of suggested videos. You guys should watch a series called Hitler's Last Stand(on National Geographic). It depicts some of the last battles on the western front for the Allies from around late June of 1944,to May of 1945.
AH YES, ALWAYS, THERE MUST BE A DUDE SMOKING! I LOVE IT!
This is amazingly cool! Love how you posed the minifigures arms to look like they are aiming down sights! Also the camera work is really good, I like how the camera shakes slightly when an explosion or gun is fired. Keep up the great work!
Now that I see the behind the scenes I get a totally new perspective and I see how much effort this took... Amazing!
3:00 reload looks so good 😊
I like that in such videos the Germans are not just cannon fodder, but people capable of winning, or at least inflicting maximum damage on the enemy side
