Flagrant sucks. Shitz changed quite a bit over past months. Stopped watching a while back because he cant interview, just constantly talks over and runs his mouth with shitty jokes. You actually can listen to a convo and learn something on this pod.
Anyone else just trying to find more WW2 podcasts to listen to while working and stumble across the long haired dude thats from the Shultz podcast and think "this is gonna be some silly podcast of him making jokes the whole time but ill give it a try." Then finding yourself listening to alot more of his podcasts on his channel? Definitley got a new subscriber dude!!! :)
I work overnights remote and this podcast is the best thing I have found. Only problem is I have so many more books on my list now. Tremendous choices in guests. And great questions. Killing it Mark.
This my first episode of Camp Gagnon!!! I’ve been a fan since hearing him on Flagrant! And most recently seeing him on stage in an Atlanta show! So love this… And love this episode… Can’t wait to hear more!
I heard War and expert and though you were going to have the Dawg himself Mr. Shane Gillis!! haha banger episode though! I've been binging all your content the past 3 days.
Okay I can now tell he’s the most intelligent on the flagrant podcast. Even claims to know nothing about world war 2 yet actually has a good baseline of knowledge which to me being humble when you know your shit is a good sign
I can assure you that 5 million British men enlisted to fight for what was right to protect their beloved country. Just the same as the Americans did. They did not fight for the colony and to protect the colony around the world. They fought for their country and their families. I think it’s very incorrect to generalise the British in this way as there seems to be a rift forming between the USA and uk over social media right now that I think is driving by an ulterior motive to divide two great nations as a whole. Americans think of Britain as colonisers who worship their monarchy but this is just not true. Most British despise the monarchy and have no idea about how this tiny island conalised half the world. We defeated evil in the world together back then and continue to do so to this day
The fact that Russia had more an impact against Germany than the western front did doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me is the fact it was just by sheer numbers of soldiers and civilian lived they were willing to sacrifice to win.
He could know everything there is to know about WW2. If he really believes that the US' economic benefit from the result was a "happy accident", he is naive or protecting his career. Madness.
Sorry Mark but you got a fast food WW2 historian. He missed on so many critical points. 1) WW1 Mussolini is a devout Marxist. He joins the military as a sniper. After the war he is disillusioned with Italy's government and creates his movement. After the failed Soviet invasion of Poland in 1919 and the Bolshevik Revolution that followed he realized Marxism would not work. He evolves the ideology with elements of Facism, Nationalism being the biggest because it brings everyone together. Marxism creates factions fighting each other. 2) Mussolini ALWAYS wanted to recreate the Roman Empire. Hitler or not. Hitler started as a Socialist movement in which he evolved into National Socialism and thought Mussolini was a rock star. People forget this. Hitler thought Mussolini was a genius until he realized how incompetent he was during the war. 3) Lennon ALWAYS planned to spread Communism to all of Europe and the world. The first attempt was by Trotsky by kicking off the 1919 Polish/Soviet war. They were going to absorb Poland into the Soviet Union and then plan to use that as a staging area to go for the rest of Europe, piece by piece. The Poles kicked the crap out of the Soviets. Stalin was planning to invade Europe sometime in the late 1940's because he wanted to industrialize the economy first, after the 1919 disaster. If Trotsky gets power instead of Stalin WW2 could have easily been Allies and Nazi Europe vs the Soviet Union. 4) The Japanese joined the Axis for what the Entente (Allies) did to them after WW1. The Japanese were promised German colonies and other territory. After WW1 the Allies took control of everything. They lost trust in the West. They knew Hitler would tie down the Allies and they could take the resources they needed from the territories they were promised and more. They felt they could negotiate from strength if Hitler won, got into a truce or when the time came they were so entrenched they could negotiate a favorable settlement. 5) The former 'Great Empires' England and France were still smarting from the world economic downturn and WW1. The French cut their budget and created a defensive doctrine and created the Maginot Line. The British had a small army at this time. They did not have the will nor the preparations to go on the offensive. Before the Germans invaded through the Ardennes to kick of the Battle for France the Allied papers called it the Sits-krieg. The Allies put the AEF on the border with Belgium and Germany but didn't go forward. 6) The Soviets couldn't have beaten the Germans without US Lend Lease. Soviet armies were mostly armor and infantry with minimal mechanization. The US exported hundreds of thousands of jeeps, trucks, tractors, etc... This allowed the Soviets to create mechanized armies which allowed for rapid movement, especially with infantry and artillery groups. Without this support the Eastern front is probably a more massive meat grinder. 7) The Japanese were NOT a conventional enemy. Their navy and merchant marine was decimated. The population was starving. After Emperor Hirohito agreed to surrender there was a military coup that was stopped by pure luck from an air raid. They were NOT going to surrender. The truth is the bombs didn't stop the war but the Soviets breaking the armistice and invading Mongolia and Korea. The Japanese were more concerned about a Soviet invasion then a US led invasion. People look at the war in the Pacific as bookends. There was the bombing of Pearl Harbor, two atomic bombs on Japan thee end. The Japanese actually started WW2 in China in 1936. Go look up the Rape of Nanking and then later the Singapore and Bataan death marches. Those three just touch the surface. You should see how they treated Koreans and Okinawans.
him saying germany didnt pay anymore reperations for WWI is false. The payments started again after reunification in 1990. The last payment was done in 2010. How can an expert on WW not know this?
To be fair being a historian on a subject doesn't mean your opinion on a war is right. The atom bombs being dropped is debated by all of the ww2 historians. The carpet bombing the US did to Japan was far more deadly than the atom bombs.
I’m pretty sure you’re right. I believe the skull was only tested once and those were the results and the soviets were so upset they refused to give anyone else access to it
@@CampGagnon your interview style and his delivery were hella entertaining right up my alley there is definitely a niche for it on youtube thanks for the content man
@@CampGagnonthis was so well done. Love the humbleness to admit lack of knowledge along with the genuine curiosity. Great overview of a complex conflict, that was more interesting than anything learned in school. Gained a fan, keep it up
This is the first podcast on this channel I've ever listened to. It's so much better than all the clickbait bullshit that's out there on other channels. It's not, “Im just asking questions”, it's I'm looking for the answers to my questions”. Good shit bro
@@CampGagnon if Austrian Hungarians were different why call the Austrians and not even Prussians but Germans the same things, very poor analyzation to say they are just the same thing
Mark - your interview skills are incredible and your tone puts us in the perfect comfortable listening chair ready to take in perspectives and information. More of these grounded experts (a maybe little less of the UFO/Conspiracy/Mobster guys). Big ups.
One of my very good clients was one of the soldiers who stormed the beach at Normandy. 10 years ago I think he was 95-99 years old, 6’3” tall, he was still driving a vehicle no problem, and he would shake my hand very firmly. He is now passed away super incredible amazing guy and I wasn’t really old enough to appreciate what he sacrifice and what he lived through until now. I can only imagine things he’s seen and done. He was such a nice guy. I believe he used to travel a lot and speak at universities and colleges.
The russians def were more responsible for taking down the nazis, however, they could have NEVER done it without america creating 2 fronts. The russians held the line, but it was def a team effort.
I'd love for you to invite him back again and talk about the occupation of Germany by the Allied forces and the reality of the German civilians under that occupation. I'd also love to learn more about the Berlin wall and its eventual fall.
For a Hitler expert he's either getting A LOT wrong, or he's lying. He says the nazis were anti black but all it takes it's to see the statements of the black athletes on how they were treated in Germany.
This is so fricken good I can’t believe I haven’t found this before now. Anyone interested in WW2 should listen to this. I have listened to so many podcasts and seen so many docs on WW2 and specifically Hitler activity in it and this is by far the most concise and clear
You forgot to talk about Germany's multiple peace offerings, Stalin's plans to conquer Europe, the displacement of 12+ million ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe after the war(largest ethnic cleansing in world history according to the BBC), more German soldiers died in Allied captivity during and after the war than in combat, instutionalized Soviet mass r@pe etc... "History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon." - Napoleon Bonaparte
He forgot so much I had to stop listening for fear he would make me forget. His bit on 'modern racism cause imperialism' was really the 'tell' in his Rousseauian take on humanity. He says Romans were basically cosmopolitan, but they conquered everyone and required a fair amount of assimilation, ohh yah keep your religion just make sure to integrate our gods, or we will enslave you(Jewish people), or let the Romans write your religious texts(Christians). What was the Romans motivation for conquering? They believed they were superior and if you got inline you could benefit from trade and stable governance which was better than the local warlords or petty kings and queens you had, who also used 'the other' to motivate you and other peasants to fight with yet 'others'. He is right in saying intellectuals now had a pseudo scientific framework with Darwin for which to justify attempting to codify this 'modern racism' into democracy via nationalism, but it is only modern because someone put the word before it, this existed since people existed. The only reason it is modern is because industrialization allowed more than a 1 in 10,000 people from moving out of their region of birth and to experience existence with other cultures. For 98.5% of human history you were more likely to be conquered by 'the other' than you were to travel far enough to meet 'the other', so yes people who never met anyone who looked any different than them because they couldn't travel 5 miles were not 'racist', if by that you mean 'modern racism'. I could go on, but that would mean I listened to this guy potentially spout more nonsense. He is right the Russians lost the most and took the greatest cost to defeat Nazism, and part of that cost was at the moral, political, and industrial cost of their entire civilization by attempting to elevate the labor theory of value over market pricing. Ending in starvation and misery for 'the worker'.
Such a good listen. You guys have great chemistry the whole time. Your relaxed attitude compliments Benjamin's passion for the subject really well. Good strategy.
Lmao the Zionists reminding us with the wiki at the top of the comments 😂

As a person from Czech Republic, I feel slightly offended by American being surprised at the fact that USSR did played device role in defeating nazi Germany. I mean that’s not a secret. That should be taught in schools all around the world as fact. America did play important role, but in comparison to USSR, it’s just on another level
The minority of American's who have learned about the particulars of the war are relegated to history buffs or those who really payed attention in school. Also the Soviet Union did grind out the Nazi's, but with atrocities all over Eastern Europe. How the war is won should be favored, and Soviet Russia was a beast. ua-cam.com/video/t_DljQZlWUg/v-deo.htmlsi=X9okEeNZo8e5mul8
Yea, but should we favor how the war is won or only on the sheer scale of carnage the Soviets endured. As an American, the war doesn't go anywhere without the industry America produces. Americans who know the particulars of the war only learn by paying close attention in school, documentaries, or in historical reading. You're lucky now to see a veteran of the war, or any of the elderly from that time.
The soviets would not of been capable of it without the allies supplying then trucks,planes,tanks you name it. If fact the soviets didn't even pay the allies back on the lend lease. It wasn't until the 90's when the a few hundred million of the 1.8 bill owed. Factor is the actual amount of people in each army then the deaths. The soviets simply didn't care about their own or the victims they raped and killed enroute to Berlin.
Well yea america played its part by creating hitler and holding off until it was clear he could not prevail. Then facilitating the esape and emplotlymenet of any and all useful nazis. Giving alot of them positions that have been negotiated in safety ever since right across Europe and all industry. Alot of information out there
Honestly marks been getting better guests than flagrant lately
Been better than Flagrant too

@franpena6175 not comparing the pods at all I listen to them both every episode every week. Just lately been viking more with the camp then flagrant
Most pods i listen to 60% paying attention, and 40% background noise. Had to run this one back a few times! Great show!

Great interview. First time listener, kept me very engaged. Nice work

Would be interesting to hear Benjamin's take on Jan Smuts and Churchill relationships.

Fascinating information and great questions
Episode flew by

I think I’m going to love this interview. Because I have those very same questions.
This has been a great refresher .
Thankyou Mark
