A lot of these tactics in the intro would either get you shot or charged with desertion or desecration of the dead... both of which would result in you getting shot.
He’s just not really thinking about the situation, then there’s a ton of physical things, like thinking hitting an infantry mine with a helmet would set it off
Being in the fetal position while getting shot at from below just puts your vital organs closer to the danger. While also increasing the chance of internal ricochets.
@@austinlester4077 That's only if you're taking fire from a horizontal direction. If the fire is coming from above or below you actually want to stay relatively vertical to minimize your exposed area. That's why infantry would charge if they were caught out in the open during an artillery barrage, you minimize your exposure while getting out of the bombardment area.
Neither the FETAL position nor laying horizontal would not have saved anything. Those were German 20mm and/or 37mm rounds tearing that airplane to bits. Getting hit by one of those bullets is almost instantaneous death regardless of how you position yourself, especially a 37mm.
Overlord is so goddamn good film, I recommend this one to everyone, I've seen it like 5 times already, and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I'm so glad that you made a video about it, cuz it really doesn't have audience what it deserves.
@@pippspets7162 I watched it on free sites, I am from Czech republic and we got those free online. But I THINK it's on Netflix, but can't be really sure. Sorry, dude.
@@pippspets7162as i remember i watched on netflix if you like WW2+thriller theme overload is good movie for you watching on weekend or day off because we don't have to think much just watch n' chill
Honestly, this channel has prepared me for all of the theoretical situations that could possibly go down after this video. I never knew how to survive in a Nazi zombies occupied France but now I do!
I remember something my Father told me when he was over in Vietnam with the Air Force. "The experienced fellows sat on their bullet proof vests in the helicopter. Because they knew you didn't have to worry as much about bullets coming thru the side if the helicopter and you needed the padding".
I remember hearing that that was a pretty common tactic going all the way back to WW2, sitting on your helmet or flak jacket or whatever other armor you might have.
7:29 I'm pretty sure a helmet won't trigger a landmine. It needs to be a certain amount of weight, which is why you can sometimes crawl over it since crawling distributes your weight over a bigger area.
Besides aren't most mines anti tank mines anyways since it would make them actually worth it (mines have a cost in production, it is actually terrible to spend too much in killing a few infantry as an AT mine wouldn't be more costly in production and destroying or damaging a tank is much more worth it)
@@Stormyy6310 I think the point of antipersonnel mines is as much about area denial as actually doing damage to infantry. You can't charge your troops through a minefield without taking large amounts of casualties and alerting the enemy. This allows your enemy to focus defenses like machine guns and snipers on a small number of approaches and turn them into killing fields.
@@Stormyy6310 Sometimes it's better to damage an enemy than to kill them. Like hand grenades. Some weapons are meant to greatly damage soldiers so they will call for backup and need people to drag the injured soldier away.
@@SunwardRanger83 Yes today mines are practically only used for area denial, slowing down your enemy's offensive (I mean just look at the war in Ukraine and the Ukrainian offensive in its early phase), I wasn't saying that mines aren't for that, I was saying that AP mines (especially at that period) like they're shown are very expensive to produce (as expensive as an AT mine if not more) and thus would be extremely uncommon, there wouldn't be AP mines also because this is the Atlantic Wall and it covers a huge portion of land and Germany has no way of knowing where the Allies are going to land thus they wouldn't have placed expensive AP mines in a random place, most of the mines they and all countries in WW2 placed were anti-tank mines (AT)
@@Stormyy6310 Well, I guess I learn something new every day. I was operating on the assumption that AP mines back then would have been fairly cheap, like they are in modern times. I had no idea that AP and AT mines were comparable in cost back then, thanks for the info.
Spinning the helmet to check for land mines was literally the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. 1. Landlines, even AP need multiple pounds of pressure to work. 2. Spinning your helmet like a top isn’t going to make it go forward in the grass 3. How is being 2 feet away from an explosion any better?
You're not necessarily correct about the mines. Many landmines have a higher weight needed to trigger them, otherwise they'd go off when placed, or when any small animals stepped on it. This is why they can use some small animals to sniff out the explosives nowadays.
@@GastonTheGreat3 the movie is a movie, yes. But his survival tactics are meant to actually help you should you ever be in this highly unlikely situation. These would not
I love how the intro about the plane was just a bunch of made up bullshit that would never work because they knew that just saying "if you're stuck in a metal tube with a bunch of people while being shot at by massive guns, you're SOL and you would only survive by pure luck" wouldnt make them sound smart enough to be interesting lol
If i had a nickle for everytime the name of some kind of series is called "Overlord" and Undeads are a major part of it, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Often the way to beat these situations is to never get yourself into these situations in the first place XD But if I did somehow get myself in these situations, I'd embrace death because I'm weaksauce. Have a damn good day!
The multiple layers thing is such a flawed plan, youd have to so little time to do all that dragging off bodies and trying to remove gear to protect yourself
Man this movie was amazing and how to beat you gotta do How to beat the outbreak in Rec/ Rec 2 especially when you consider they needed weapons and more tactical gear How to beat Nemesis and Umbrella Corp in resident evil Apocalypse How to beat the giant anaconda in Anaconda How to beat the Pagan Cult in Hereditary How to beat the Thugs and Mad dog in the raid redemption How to beat the Traid in the night comes for us How to beat Prison and a Gang in Shotcaller How to beat Buffalo Bill and The cannibal in The silence of the lambs How to beat Micheal Myers in Halloween kills
lol... ww2 helmets and flack jackets might stop some low energy fragments but they sure aren't stopping some nearby 120mm AA round or a direct hit from 40mm or 20mm aa rounds. Though I'm not sure they were actually low enough for smaller rounds to be hitting the plane in the first place. And rolling a helmet along the ground wont be enough weight to trigger many if not most landmines. Capturing a random officer that might not be the head of operation could mean they would be willing to sacrifice him. And, kidnapping or killing him also means someone is alerted and comes looking for him and or tightens security.
the helmet part wouldnt really work if im right because mines require a certain amount of kilograms weighing the button or whatever down and i dont think a ww2 paratrooper's helmet would be enough to detonate one, alternatively a possiblity would be to actually keep looking down while in a crouching position going really slowly and calling any landmines out as they cant be hidden perfectly without them getting too low to be detonateable or would explode prior to pressure being applied
in my mind this movie and Captain Americas the first avenger movie happened in the same universe. They woke up For to fight in Afghanistan & then brought Cap back. Cap died & "Corporal Ford" becomes the next captain america in the falcon & winter soldier. Because that's all i could think about while watching that show after this movie. Love that actor. Way to go Kurt russel & goldie hawn.
@18:20 Personally I think this one has to be one of the dumbest survival tips I’ve heard. How do u expect an average American soldier in the 1940s to know how to create a homemade bomb?
i mean, they did have a section in their manuals that was exclusively on improvised weapons and explosives, you can actually see the manual they used too- if i was a conscript soldier, id hang onto those manuals going into the field as much as possible
Wait sorry I feel like Iissed something, what ended up happening to the girl and the kid? Did they just die in the explosion or were they taken out through some other means?
Love the content, but basically 90% of the the video is behind a blurred circle these days. I assume it is to keep the video monetized, which I'm sure is youtube's fault and not yours, but it still kind of sucks. That said, have a damn good day!
i just wish they blurred or censored the blood and gore in literally any other way, heavily blurred ovals just make it unwatchable. the desaturated censor seems best
The whole situation would've been fine if they had Steve Rogers (Captain America) but they got the knockoff from TFAWS so... not surprised practically everyone died 🤷♀
love the video but bro don't know how bouncing betties work the shoot up and send shrapnel everywhere so a couple of feet is still in the danger zone more over you need more pressure than a helmet to even trigger it
Difficult to navigate around enemy bullets…ha, made me laugh. Don’t see the spinning helmet working on land mines…not enough weight & we’re not talking claymores/tripwires.
Could you please tone down the blurring on the monsters and what not in future videos? It would be more entertaining for others (I think) and it is overall annoying to look at. I would like to know th3 monsters look like yaknow😅

I was thinking the same thing…
It’s crazy how he thinks he would be able to think like this while being caught off guard in a plane in this altitude falling this fast
The main flaw with this channel. The average person will not be able to think of such ideas on the spot.
it's not a "why i would survive," it's "what gives you the best chance of survival," no matter how unlikely
That's not what he thinks though. He's aware about these strategies being hindsight. It's more of a "next time this happens" type of pointers.
he never says that. although i agree a lot of his ideas are goofy given the circumstances and sometimes entirely impractical - @@cornstarch1
you aren't going to be able to protect yourself at all in a plane from 88mm flak
