Two weeks and the Allies have to stop any bombing raids at daylight. Hitler mistake was to want a „Blitzbomber“. So this great jet fighter was heavily delayed because they tried to make a bomber out of it. Idiocity, but this made the war shorter and the russians did not capture more of germany
@@rikk319 The issue was not stupidity, but simply the fact Germany *did not have the resources available.* When people complain about German offensives lacking fuel, they tend to act as if Germany *could* get more fuel, when in reality, they *couldn’t.* It wasn’t an oversight, it was Germany facing the harsh realities of the war. Germany’s only decent source of oil was Romania, and even that was small compared to Texas or Baku. Mass production of spares and equipment would have made things worse- specialized ‘wunderwaffe’ actually saved more fuel in relative proportion to their individual destructive power (except maybe the V-2).
No, this was the general's plan. War of movement and encirclement is an old Prussian tactic. But it failed in the expanse of the USSR and under overwhelming air supremacy.

I was stationed in Germany in 70s and 80s. The Germans who lived during the time of the war told me that in 1943 everybody knew the was lost. They listened to the BBC which was always right on target and reporting what was really happening. They also had wounded soldiers coming back from the Russian Front and they were telling people, "It's just a matter of time." They didn't bother listening to German Broadcasts because they only reported that they were winning by attrition and the big time offensive was coming.
"German Broadcasts ... only reported that they were winning by attrition and the big time offensive was coming" Hmm. See, now in present time this is how BBC treats Ukraine reporting. Any loss is a victory by attrition.
The animations are next level. There's a reason why many history teachers are switching from using crash course videos to your videos when students ask for recommendations. Keep up the excellent work!
Besides underestimating the resolve of Western Allies, Hitler also "forgot" about the Eastern one - Allies could coordinate their operations pounding Nazis from whichever side was weaker at the moment, to force Germans relocating their forces, and so they did.
Resolve of the western allies? It was Churchill, who was funded by bankers, that rejected any truces (which Hitler offered many times). And if it wasn't for their overwhelming supplies and logistics, the western allies would have not been so anxious to wage war. After all, they used up the Russians before the true battle even began.
@@NewMessi7 Because the British population did not want war but were forced upon it anyways by Churchill - who was funded into power by the big bankers? Who also funded Hitler? WW2 was meant to happen to destroy nationalism in Europe so the European Union could happen and the mass refugees be allowed inside Europe to destroy culture and racial heritage.
1:40 It kills me whenever a company says "military-grade encryption" it means literally nothing, except to say it's encrypted in some way. It's a big red flag whenever a company uses this kind of language.
In a way, Barbarossa was analogous to Lee's attempt to circle Washington DC and force a negotiated end to the War Between the States. In both cases rapid maneuver and audacity attempted a quick win against a larger enemy with more manpower and natural resources. A big difference though was that Lee knew that eventual victory was not possible after being stopped at Gettysburg; Hitler thought that being stopped in Russia was just a speed bump.
Lee lost because he wrapped his master plan around a cigar and he either dropped it or it fell out of his pocket. A union soldier found the cigar thinking it was his lucky day only to find Lee's master plan, showed it to his superior, and from their it went to Grant, the other generals, and Lincoln which allowed them to counteract his maneuver. It was a stroke of luck.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 This benefited Lee when he discovered similar plans at another battle, and saved Lee at another major battle when the Union commander (who I will not dignify by naming) didn't believe Lee's step-by-step plans could fall into his hands. The Civil War could've been over that day. You of course know of which battle I speak, right?
One thing I have always found interesting is the evolution of German propaganda during the war. There is a noticeable difference between the sunny, bright pre-war and early-war propaganda and the propaganda from 1943-1945. The art style and themes become noticeably darker. You can almost feel the desperation and anxiety when you look at it.

Can attest to the volkssturm resorting to farmers with shotguns. My neighbors dad ran into a plain clothes soldier holding a drilling rifle (two 16ga shotgun barrels plus a 9*57 Mauser barrel) while his unit was cleaning a old horse barn in Southern Germany during the last days.
@@docpossum2460 nope, when he leveled his drilling at my neighbors father, he shot him in the chest with his m1. Cleared the farm, set up base there, war ended shortly after, brought the drilling back home.
"Yes, this will totally counter the superior air force and navy of the British, the industrial and economic might of the US, the totally massive armies of the Soviets, and the rotation of the earth"- An Austrian Painter, midway through his vegetarian dinner
At the start US was not at war and was promoting isolationism. "Superior" RAF does not have the range to get to Germany in their fighters. Germans had numerical advantage over Soviets at the start of Barbarosa.
@@tokul76 true. However, Roosevelt little by little geared the American economy to a war footing. The 1940 Louisiana Maneuvers was the largest peacetime war game ever done in US Army history at that time involving over 40,000 troops. Army Chief of Staff General Marshall was hard at work firing and selecting officers capable of leading a fully mechanized 20th century army.
britain, when it was at war with Germany alone did not have the superior air force. Luftwaffe had a much better dive bombing arm and RAF had the edge on the bomber command. Luftwaffe was bigger. BOB was fought over british skies hence the higher losses, the same can be seen when RAF came head to head with Luftwaffe over Occupied European skies from the start of Barbarossa till the Moscow counter offensive.
"the allies cant put together an amphibious invasion" allies : "what if we just pounded a poorly defended section of the coast with absolutely everything we had?" germans: wait what
I wouldn't call Normandie a poorly defended section of the coast as the Allies almost failed D - day and given that Rommel did not check and prepare Normandie since he thought that the Allies might attack calais instead so if Normandie was prepared for an operation like D - day the Allies might have failed the invasion
@@slavic_viking9638 If the beaches assaulted by the Allies HAD been adequately defended and prepared, there was no way the Germans would have lost to the Allied offensive short of a miracle.
@@Grummsh00 It's not a case of "simply" attacking elsewhere. It was a full sledged invasion. They had already committed entirely to this plan. Failure to break through the German defensive line would have cost the Allies enormous casualties and TIME. Thankfully they did not fail. But to say the Germans were doomed at this point is very untrue. The writing was on the wall, but the tide of the war could still have been majorly swung if the Allies had failed the Normandy invasion.

We now know how deranged the political leadership of Germany and USSR was, yet somehow people believe and trust politicians and "experts" now. History rhymes and nowadays we have Botzis and Botzi Doktors. They had Klaus Barbie, we have Herr Doktor Anthony Assklown in Amerika. Power corrupts was true then and it's true now.
The Allies won the war not by luck. It wasn't simply a near escape, as some historians might try to argue. The Axis Powers took on a task that was too big for them and were incapable of knocking out key powers because they were very likely completely out of reach and capable of withstanding initial blows. The Allies adapted, regrouped, mobilized, and were able to wear out their overstretched, under-resourced opponents through attrition and economic, technological, and military superiority.
Allied victory was purely a matter of larger natural resources, endless industrial production and the german shortcomings in these areas, particularly fuel and navy Germany was choked by an economic sea blockade, was unable to fight the British on the water, forcing them to resort to u boat tactics, had too little oil and Hitler had failed to clear house following him taking power It's unbelievable how many ppl within the german high command were sabotaging hitler's orders The Germans could have inflicted 10 Dunkirks and 10 more Kiev encirclements, but allied material quantity was simply too much to overcome
Not to mention the ability to pragmatically restrain their personal feelings on certain things in order to achieve mutual goals. Conversely, the Axis was a shaky alliance of convenience characterized by mutual deceit, little coordination, and laughably poor leadership.
Not so sure about the 'technological superiority' but outnumbered, under resourced al of that for sure, but ultimately the west was fooled into fightingvfor their own demise, yoj are losing your countries to 3rd world invaders, you deserve to you fools! DARWIN AWARDS!
Panzerfaust, a surprisingly ingenious and effective weapon. The single use flamethrower? Not so much. Highly, highly dangerous to the user, and unpredictable.
I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to give single use flamethrowers to barely trained conscripts. Did they at least get carbines for after they were spent? Seems like a moronic waste of Germany’s heavily strained gasoline/petrol reserves by the last two years of the war, too.
@@militustoica Point is, with flamethrower you don't really have to aim in close quarters to kill enemy. And bombing raids from Allies, on top of Soviets already being in city, meant, that vehicles to use fuel on were either useless, destroyed or ineffective.
Just like a company, or a corporation, quality varies with situation. Your experience may vary. Some of it is quite good, some of it not good. Depends on development cycles, investment, and the competence of the particular people involved. Garand rifle, m-1 tank are good, M-14 rifle and Sheridan tank not good. Littoral combat ship bad, Fletcher destroyer good. And maintenance, if the prior users had abused the equipment. In general, competence and adequate resources are not always available, sometimes it is.
16:06 I like the attention to details, the US soldiers' animations aren't simply recycled because the M1 was semi-automatic while most other nations were bolt action.
My dad was in the US armed forces during the Cold War, and he and my mom were stationed in Germany in the late 1970s/early 1980s. My mom told me that she once visited a cemetery there, and practically every family had at least one male member who had died at age 16 or 17 in 1944 or 1945.
Atkinson (Liberation Trilogy) makes that point at the opening of An Army at Dawn. If a male was born in Germany 1920 he had a 1/3 chance of dying in WWII.
@@ararune3734 the oppression of a woman is different then what you are trying to say. Even then countless woman helped the war effort and died for it. Killed in concentration camps or bombed in factories. The oppression of a woman politically and economically has been the truth for a long time. There was once the saying in the usa why let a man teach children the abc for 20? Dollars a month when a woman can do it for 5 . And even then why can a woman not oppressed when their husband or son fights and dies? Does the oppression end when such a thing happens or do some things happen at the same time and are quite different ? Also the ussr did have woman as soldiers though as far as I know they only manned anti aircraft positions and where also famously pilots in the ussr. Without woman the war effort would have been severely Crippled too
@Sergio Marc I mean, he was crazy with pride and hatard before. Now you add "dictator who knows he's going to lose everything soon" and you get the thumbnail. Perfect visual summery if you ask me. Even better than the Operation Citidal corkboard, which is impressive. Right metaphor and artstyle 10/10.
Considering his daily methamphetamine habit, he probably didn’t believe in being chill until he got his barbiturate injection each night to allow his brain to sleep.
10:12 This makes it look like operation citadel was Hitlers idea when, from my understanding, it wasn't. It was an idea his generals had and Hitler actually hated it. Apparently saying "Everytime I think about operation citadel my stomach turns over". I'm not at all defending him at, it's just something I noticed.
Either way he okayed it as at that time he took full charge of everything. Hitler was basically playing a massive game of Strategic Command: World at War only the enemy troops and tanks actually started showing up at his door. Unrealistic Operations with made up cheat coded in units which didn't really exist!
similarly, 16:08 makes it look like nazi high command genuinely believed the ardennes offensive would work, although Model and Von Rundstedt both believed that aiming for antwerp was completely delusional.
For context: It was one of the pre-war plans, so it doesn't really fit the theme of this video, but yeah, building a surface fleet large enough to succesfully challenge the British Fleet, even if it would be fighting alone (which wasn't the case then) within the timespan of 6 years is just delusional. The Nazis were and still are a crazy, dangerous bunch of people. I hope they never take power again anywhere on the world.
They retreated because they had no gasoline and the lack of gasoline did not allow the German socialists to bring their manpower and armaments to the eastern front.

Because the fikm showed us Germans that loosing the war was a huge catastrophy but winning the war would have been much worse for Germany.

Those people didn´t want peace and prosperity for the german people they were just there to fullfill their mass psychosis no matter what.
@@piapenske9767 Hitler actually started the war objectively i.e. Poland and the Western countries. The problem was Barbarossa; a purely ideological war. That's when the genuine insanity and inhumanity began to show and play out.

When you look at the statistics of economic power population numbers and national military size when it comes to navy air force and army you see that the Axis powers Germany Japan and Italy just couldn't compete for a large scale long term war.

In reality it's amazing the Axis powers lasted as long as they did.

These monsters cared for their own and even that, as entities, as a whole. Not on an individual level.
if he wanted to punish the world why didnt he release the nerve gas stockpiles on allied countries and soldiers? Just one plane would be enough to wreck a large area of people. Retaliation? but didnt he want to punish the world, starting with his own?

Watch "Downfall". Very amazing movie, and it really captures just how screwed up mentally Hitler was towards the end of the war😎😎 not sure exactly how historically accurate it is though😭
never seen it but I can tell you Hitler was literally on a cocktail of meth proscribed and injected into is brain by his doctor so... if he acted like a meth head it's probably pretty accurate
The movie is largely based on the diaries and memoirs of people who were present. (Traudl Junge, Albert Speer, etc.) It's as accurate as one is able to get without resorting to pure speculation. It is certainly much more accurate than movies depicting the conspiracy theories of Hitler escaping or video games of allies bursting in. Mind you, that does not mean everything in it is 100% true. Speer spent most of his post-WWII days making excuses for himself. (look up the myth of the 'good nazi') The 1981 American film 'The Bunker' (which is similar to Downfall) was mostly based on Speer's narrative and obviously tries to make him look better.
@Gotthard Yus His previous plans didn't succeed though. He failed to knock out Britain and the blockade was starving Germany of resources while the Soviet Union was growing stronger over time. Had he decided not to invade the Soviet Union he still would have lost the war it would just have taken much longer. Ultimately winning the battle of France doesn't matter if you still lose the war.
@Gotthard Yus yes, it worked well. The soviets getting help from the U.S gave them a major boost. If Germany had gone to another city other then Stalingrad they could've capture more oil. I forgot the country but it was in their grasps.
I actually just watched the "Pepe Sylvia" video from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia just before this video, so that picture of Hitler as Charlie Kelly got me good.

6:09 Unknown to germans, Dieppe raid was a forced recon, conducted by the allies in order to test the Atlantic wall strength. Although the operation was resulted in huge losses, the allies realize, that the invasion is possible, but it needs more planning, preparing and gathering enough strength to make the Second Front become reality, at the same time they've needed to decieve the germans of the actual invasion, so by the time the Allies strike, the germans would be waiting for them in the wrong place. Thus was born two plans: operation Overlord, which was the plan for the allied invasion in Normandy, and operation Fortitude, the deception plan to fool the germans about false invasion in Cale.
There is more to Dieppe than your story. There was an intelligence reason to go and attack the port, as it was the location of one of the then new Kriegsmarine 4 rota enigma machines. Pre 1942 Bletchly Park, with the aid of the Polish codebreakers before 1939, had been able to decode a fair proportion of naval enigma messages, giving the RN and coastal command an advantage against the U-boat's. Then things change as the Germans bring in a new machine, which is determined to have an additional rota slot and series of rotas, which was proving difficult to simulate. So a plan using a special commando unit (thirty assault unit of the RM commando ) to raid a port and capture one of the new machines...this became the genesis of the Dieppe plan. Whilst Dieppe failed to achieve a "military" or tactical success, and proved that taking a port by coup-de-main was near impossible (reading to the development of the mulberry harbours for Overlord; it was a intelligence strategic victory with the machine being captured and the naval HQ in Deippe being destroyed in such a way that the Germans were unable to identify the loss of the machine- an intelligence and strategic victory for the allied forces. It is believed that the machine was delivered to the MI6 officer on one of the destroyers off shore, a Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming - more famous to most people as an author of spy novels!
This is extremely useful. Fire is devastating psychologicaly, and an inexperienced flamer can get several experienced troops if they can surprise them.
@@TommygunNG Dismissing my comment is not defeating it. As for the effect of fire, go read historical accounts of the use of fire then we'll debate it. As for the manufacturing cost of an aerosol can and spray assembly (what that that single shot flame thrower looked like), the cost to effect ratio in city fighting if you could surprise your enemy, makes this a great weapon to supplement your militia men with.
As my grandmother once said: "I survived both Hitler and Stalin. They all die in the end like the rest of us. No one lives for ever, not even a tyrant."
@@googane7755 yep there’s a quote, something like ‘men aren’t dead until their names have been uttered for the last time’, so unfortunately Hitler and Stalin will live theoretically forever.

Crash Course animations are unbearable
@@alexcheremisin3596 ngl at least for me their fun in a way but yes way less intriguing than this fine work
Regarding crash course, I can't take a historian seriously if he's flashing his personal politics in plain sight.
Besides underestimating the resolve of Western Allies, Hitler also "forgot" about the Eastern one - Allies could coordinate their operations pounding Nazis from whichever side was weaker at the moment, to force Germans relocating their forces, and so they did.
Khaleesi moment
Resolve of the western allies? It was Churchill, who was funded by bankers, that rejected any truces (which Hitler offered many times). And if it wasn't for their overwhelming supplies and logistics, the western allies would have not been so anxious to wage war. After all, they used up the Russians before the true battle even began.
@@HuubHeesakkers why should churchill accept peace, when Hitler attacked Poland and betrayed the Munich Treaty ?
@@NewMessi7 Because the British population did not want war but were forced upon it anyways by Churchill - who was funded into power by the big bankers? Who also funded Hitler?

In a way, Barbarossa was analogous to Lee's attempt to circle Washington DC and force a negotiated end to the War Between the States. In both cases rapid maneuver and audacity attempted a quick win against a larger enemy with more manpower and natural resources.
A big difference though was that Lee knew that eventual victory was not possible after being stopped at Gettysburg; Hitler thought that being stopped in Russia was just a speed bump.
Fantastic comparison. Never would've seen the similarities if you didn't point it out.
Adolph thought it was just a speed bump after he took another bump of speed.
Lee lost because he wrapped his master plan around a cigar and he either dropped it or it fell out of his pocket. A union soldier found the cigar thinking it was his lucky day only to find Lee's master plan, showed it to his superior, and from their it went to Grant, the other generals, and Lincoln which allowed them to counteract his maneuver. It was a stroke of luck.

@@tokul76 true. However, Roosevelt little by little geared the American economy to a war footing. The 1940 Louisiana Maneuvers was the largest peacetime war game ever done in US Army history at that time involving over 40,000 troops.

britain, when it was at war with Germany alone did not have the superior air force. Luftwaffe had a much better dive bombing arm and RAF had the edge on the bomber command. Luftwaffe was bigger. BOB was fought over british skies hence the higher losses, the same can be seen when RAF came head to head with Luftwaffe over Occupied European skies from the start of Barbarossa till the Moscow counter offensive.

The Allies won the war not by luck. It wasn't simply a near escape, as some historians might try to argue. The Axis Powers took on a task that was too big for them and were incapable of knocking out key powers because they were very likely completely out of reach and capable of withstanding initial blows. The Allies adapted, regrouped, mobilized, and were able to wear out their overstretched, under-resourced opponents through attrition and economic, technological, and military superiority.
Allied victory was purely a matter of larger natural resources, endless industrial production and the german shortcomings in these areas, particularly fuel and navy
Germany was choked by an economic sea blockade, was unable to fight the British on the water, forcing them to resort to u boat tactics, had too little oil and Hitler had failed to clear house following him taking power
It's unbelievable how many ppl within the german high command were sabotaging hitler's orders
The Germans could have inflicted 10 Dunkirks and 10 more Kiev encirclements, but allied material quantity was simply too much to overcome
Not to mention the ability to pragmatically restrain their personal feelings on certain things in order to achieve mutual goals. Conversely, the Axis was a shaky alliance of convenience characterized by mutual deceit, little coordination, and laughably poor leadership.
Not so sure about the 'technological superiority' but outnumbered, under resourced al of that for sure, but ultimately the west was fooled into fightingvfor their own demise, yoj are losing your countries to 3rd world invaders, you deserve to you fools!
DARWIN AWARDS!
Also, a large reason why the allies lost so hard in the early war was because of an insane amount of incompetence on their part.

I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to give single use flamethrowers to barely trained conscripts. Did they at least get carbines for after they were spent? Seems like a moronic waste of Germany’s heavily strained gasoline/petrol reserves by the last two years of the war, too.
@@militustoica Point is, with flamethrower you don't really have to aim in close quarters to kill enemy. And bombing raids from Allies, on top of Soviets already being in city, meant, that vehicles to use fuel on were either useless, destroyed or ineffective.
Soldiers using flamethrowers need to be close in，and they may never get there。A bullet can travel further than a flame。

This video enraged Adolf's father, who punished him severely.
Ah a fellow Linfamy fan
Aaayyyyyy, we have another oversimplified fan. Nice to see you!
You brought oversimplified into this. lol
Nice finnaly someone who doesnt mention steiner's attack meme.
Fortunately I don't have a father to punish me.
"In a scene that has been comedically mistranslated in countless UA-cam videos..."
I think everyone here gets the reference lol
Watch "Downfall". Very amazing movie, and it really captures just how screwed up mentally Hitler was towards the end of the war😎😎 not sure exactly how historically accurate it is though😭
I saw a professor say that Downfall is as close as we will get to seeing what Hitler was like in his final days。
never seen it but I can tell you Hitler was literally on a cocktail of meth proscribed and injected into is brain by his doctor so... if he acted like a meth head it's probably pretty accurate
@@tgsachris It’s the movie Hitler rant parodies come from.
I hear it’s pretty accurate.
The movie is largely based on the diaries and memoirs of people who were present. (Traudl Junge, Albert Speer, etc.) It's as accurate as one is able to get without resorting to pure speculation. It is certainly much more accurate than movies depicting the conspiracy theories of Hitler escaping or video games of allies bursting in.
Mind you, that does not mean everything in it is 100% true. Speer spent most of his post-WWII days making excuses for himself. (look up the myth of the 'good nazi') The 1981 American film 'The Bunker' (which is similar to Downfall) was mostly based on Speer's narrative and obviously tries to make him look better.
After Hitler's 99 failed plans:
Guys I got another idea to beat the soviets
*Shoots himself*
Soviets HATE them, watch how these Germans plan to WIN the war
@Gotthard Yus His previous plans didn't succeed though. He failed to knock out Britain and the blockade was starving Germany of resources while the Soviet Union was growing stronger over time. Had he decided not to invade the Soviet Union he still would have lost the war it would just have taken much longer. Ultimately winning the battle of France doesn't matter if you still lose the war.
@@ethank5059 but he still succeeded in taking over more than 13 countries....
@Gotthard Yus yes, it worked well. The soviets getting help from the U.S gave them a major boost. If Germany had gone to another city other then Stalingrad they could've capture more oil. I forgot the country but it was in their grasps.

I actually just watched the "Pepe Sylvia" video from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia just before this video, so that picture of Hitler as Charlie Kelly got me good.

I’ve been a big fan of your channel for a while. I’ve always liked your content and delivery, and man, the animation has come SO far! I always tuned in for the info and content, but noticing the soldiers’ eyes moving and then cycling rounds with their bolts, wow. You have done a great job growing your channel and investing back into your product. Well done, Griff!
The Downfall reference. I couldn’t stop laughing
Don't worry Steiner would defend for us
We could've won back Berlin if you guys rushed B and didn't leave the game after just *dying once!*
-every Warthunder player, probably
Love how the pictures in the background show shattered glass. Attention to detail is excellent and amazing
Such a interesting time. Thank you for creating this for free. The fact that UA-cam demonatizes this is wrong.
"The battle of berlin will be the turning point of the war!" *Hi i'm Bon Jovi and you are watching famous last words*
That was by far the smoothest transition from story line to Ads/Promos I have ever seen.
Y'all may laugh, but just remember that Steiner has yet to launch his long awaited counterattack
Imagine there was a typo in the message to steiner and one day in 2945 a bunch of nazi soldiers just show up and start killing people

The person who read Geobels' speech did a fantastic job, but he simply doesn't have the sheer aggressive zeal of the original.
It would've been cool if they played over the original audio. But it was probably copyrighted.
@@nbewarwe what copyright? How
@@Snp2024 A lot of footage and recordings of speeches throughout history are copyrighted. I don't know if any of the nazis' footage is owned by anyone, but I know that several American speeches are.

11:23 immediate goosebumps whe that song kicked (hehe) in. It makes everything more epic yet tragic. also, strong Kings & Generals/Cold War feels, they use it in every single video and it still works
24:30 "In a scene that has been comedically mistranslated in countless UA-cam videos..."
Ah, yes. The glorious Hitler Bunker scene from Der Untergang being referenced in his narration. The early 2010s were really something.
Weren’t tanks from Berlin’s museum used during Germany’s last stand?
Yes, the Nazis were getting real desperate, I would imagine.
They took war trophy tanks like a t28 to defend Berlin
There's a few pictures out there of an old WWI, British rombus tank in Berlin during the battle. Probably used as a pillbox
@@Elderrion I think it was a Mark V
@@raptordoniv6779 I think they even rolled out some prototypes that could still work, such as remaining Porsche Tigers/Elefant/Ferdinands and Durburschwagens
6:09 Unknown to germans, Dieppe raid was a forced recon, conducted by the allies in order to test the Atlantic wall strength. Although the operation was resulted in huge losses, the allies realize, that the invasion is possible, but it needs more planning, preparing and gathering enough strength to make the Second Front become reality, at the same time they've needed to decieve the germans of the actual invasion, so by the time the Allies strike, the germans would be waiting for them in the wrong place. Thus was born two plans: operation Overlord, which was the plan for the allied invasion in Normandy, and operation Fortitude, the deception plan to fool the germans about false invasion in Cale.
There is more to Dieppe than your story.
There was an intelligence reason to go and attack the port, as it was the location of one of the then new Kriegsmarine 4 rota enigma machines. Pre 1942 Bletchly Park, with the aid of the Polish codebreakers before 1939, had been able to decode a fair proportion of naval enigma messages, giving the RN and coastal command an advantage against the U-boat's.
Then things change as the Germans bring in a new machine, which is determined to have an additional rota slot and series of rotas, which was proving difficult to simulate. So a plan using a special commando unit (thirty assault unit of the RM commando ) to raid a port and capture one of the new machines...this became the genesis of the Dieppe plan.
Whilst Dieppe failed to achieve a "military" or tactical success, and proved that taking a port by coup-de-main was near impossible (reading to the development of the mulberry harbours for Overlord; it was a intelligence strategic victory with the machine being captured and the naval HQ in Deippe being destroyed in such a way that the Germans were unable to identify the loss of the machine- an intelligence and strategic victory for the allied forces. It is believed that the machine was delivered to the MI6 officer on one of the destroyers off shore, a Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming - more famous to most people as an author of spy novels!

This is extremely useful. Fire is devastating psychologicaly, and an inexperienced flamer can get several experienced troops if they can surprise them.
@@matthewgedeon5882 Overplaying the psychological there. As for tactical, there are better uses of manufacturing capacity--like, almost anything.
@@TommygunNG Dismissing my comment is not defeating it. As for the effect of fire, go read historical accounts of the use of fire then we'll debate it. As for the manufacturing cost of an aerosol can and spray assembly (what that that single shot flame thrower looked like), the cost to effect ratio in city fighting if you could surprise your enemy, makes this a great weapon to supplement your militia men with.

I very much hope that your documentaries are shown in schools. You've made them engaging; entertaining; and informative.
As my grandmother once said: "I survived both Hitler and Stalin. They all die in the end like the rest of us. No one lives for ever, not even a tyrant."
I like this quote.
let’s be honest your grandmother never said that 😂
@@ab_12_8 how do you know?
Stalin are Hitler are likely going to be remembered forever though and their actions ripple down to the modern world today.
@@googane7755 yep there’s a quote, something like ‘men aren’t dead until their names have been uttered for the last time’, so unfortunately Hitler and Stalin will live theoretically forever.
This was a fantastic documentary. Excellent narrative, brilliant animation (whoever did the flags in the wind smashed it), and thoroughly researched as ever. Great job guys.

In all seriousness. I have to say, that was an exeptional short documentary! High quality animations, very good script and reading and an emotional ending. Very good work!
