Operation Torch: North African Campaign - Lego World War II Stopmotion [4K]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2021
- On November 8, 1942, over 100,000 Anglo-American troops landed in three major ports throughout Vichy-France occupied North Africa. With the support of British and American warships bombarding the coast, the Allied troops managed to defeat the stubborn Vichy-French resistance. With the ports secured and the French troops defeated, Allied commanders forced Vichy Commander Admiral Darlan to call a cease-fire in North Africa. From there, the Allies would fight their way across North Africa and back into the heart of Europe. Although Operation Torch fell short of expectations, it gave Allied commanders invaluable experience for further operations. The events that transpired in early November of 1942 would heavily influence and ensure success of the invasion on D-Day, a year and a half later.

I'm so speechless rn. Safe to say you did us, North Africa animators, proud. I don't think I've ever seen a video where Vichy soldiers are shown. Everything was outstanding from minifigures, lightning, scenarios and weapons. Maybe just the special effects of guns where a bit off for me but hey maybe it's just me. 10/10.
Impressive work, the detailed set design as well as the ships were top notch. Well done and keep up the good work!
Привет ш бар
This looks insane! especially the amount of vehicles and detailed sets used
Thank you!
Finally someone who really learned history about the north African campaign! Whenever it's about the north African campaign, it just barley includes the Italians or Vichy French army, only focusing on the Germans, but you sir, you finally did everything right about it! Sorry I am terrible at explaining 😅
I know the Vichy French are not known at all and it’s weird to think about in the sense that these french colonies attacked us
I didn’t know the French fought in Africa till I watched this
The sets were quite something, and the vehicles and soldiers were impressive as always. I'm so happy there's finally a fantastic Torch brickfilm!
Wow, this is absolutely amazing! You guys have grown so much over this past year, and it has been my pleasure to support you!
Thanks!
Hi
This was fantastic, loved the use of real sand and the ship builds!
Thank you!
This was incredibly made guys. Great work
Thanks Jed!
This was quite a Fantastic Movie ! ! Especially You have French Tank and All their Equipment ! !
One of the best lego stop motion I’ve ever seen!! Awesome warship scene! Very smooth and realistic. Happy to see many French soldiers and weapons in a stop motion movie. Keep it up!!💪🏻
Wow… it’s insane how much you guys have grown. I still remember the Iwo Jima MOC you guys made. Great work, keep it up
This is incredible, very different from your previous videos. I love it
Thank you!
Longue vie à la France qui était libre et aux alliés!!!
Sinon très très bien fait. 🟦⬜🟥
Long life to free France and allies!!! 🟦⬜🟥
Otherwise it's very well done.
😉👍Very greatly and spectacularly wonderfully nicely well done in every way shape and format and detail executed and provided on Operation Torch, A job very fabulously well done indeed Sir's!👌.
It’s official, this is one of my new favorite channels now. Superb job with this video mate. I really enjoyed it.
loving the videos!, amazing work!, everytime i watch them im mindblown, im glad you guys bring back history and make sure its never forgotten
Thanks! Yes, our goal with these films is not to glorify or romanticize war, but rather to show the horrible reality, while simultaneously teaching the history behind these battles in an engaging way.
This is truely awsome, and one of its kind.
Great work. This was definitely worth the wait. Do you know what your next animation is going to be. Thanks.
i like how one of the soldiers fell on the water while trying to get to the Higgins boat, over all this is a very good stop motions, as well as all the little details, there is just a lot to see
Absolutely amazing!
The battleship so many details,amazing !!!! I love it ❤❤
Nice work man. Love the use of different vehicles and sets. The lighting was realistic and the animation was smooth. The only complaints I’d have are minor issues such as the sound for the ship at the start being strange it sounded more like someone splashing their hands in water. Either than that the vfx were incredible and the overal diversity of practical and visual effects with the realistic setting made this one of the best LEGO World War Two brickfilms ive seen in a long time. Good job
Thanks for your comment! We really appreciate your praise, but also your critique and suggestions as well !
@@TwinBricks ;)
Fantastic work! I think it is great that you animated a lesser-known battle - it certainly taught me something new.
A minute in and I’m already subbed…stunning!!
I really enjoyed that, I love how you animated the soldiers using sand, I find that really clever.
What a smooth animation!!!!
Your video has already reached me in Japan!!
Creations have no borders!!!
Keep up ur good work👍👍
Awesome, thanks for your comment!
This is so cool buddy! Nice work,I love it.👍👍👍
It's perfect. Sherman tanks are pretty cool.
Personally I never really liked them much, I always thought that they look a bit plain.
(Just my opinion though...)
Such a clean animation, great job!

This is kinda like d-day lol very nice job with the sand😊
You simply never hear anything about the Vichy French in North Africa or Syria. Great research was put into this. If only we could see something new like this in video games these days. Great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊
Thank you! Yes, our intention was to show a lesser known but certainly not less important battle of World War II.
@@TwinBricks been playing call of duty big red one???? Lololol

I love your animations when i watch them i feel relaxed. Ps i like background in every your animations like hire Sand and white Clay in battle of the bulge to make snow effect
This so great
Love it . Well done 👏
Wow. That's cool! I have never seen a lego animation in which there would be soldiers of the Vichy regime!

You don’t see much about the Americans involvement in North Africa, kudos for making a video about it
Thanks! We wanted to bring light to a little known battle involving the Vichy French
Nice. Glad it came out before the predicted date
Thanks! We tried to post it on the anniversary of the battle "Operation Torch".
Really good bricfilm
very nice!
Good VDO
Your a great stop motion user, also can you do more on tanks. :D
As a historian with a specialty of WWII, I can reflect on a few things I saw that were a little incorrect. . . .
1) With Casablanca, the gunnery was a tad incorrect. The big guns that fired back at the American ships were not so much as coastal guns, but the 15-inch guns of the drydocked French battleship Jean Bart. And contrary to the images of the American battleships taking damage from the guns, only one American battleship got in a duel with Jean Bart - USS Alabama. Only one shot from Jean Bart struck Alabama, and it basically disintegrated on the turret front.
2) I would hate to break it to you, but the Renault FT-17 was not used by the Vichy French in North Africa. It was proven too obsolete after the Fall of France in 1940, so only the Renault R35 was used in Morocco. And it wasn’t in the middle of Safi itself when they attacked. It was outside to the east: 30x Renault R35’s attacked the Americans who had 5x M5 Stuart’s, and the thing that saved the American G.I.’s was the big 152mm guns of the US Navy cruisers like USS Augusta.
For information on this, please watch the series Patton 360. This explains it a lot.
Fighting against France is always a pleasure...
After six weeks it´s over.
This is really cool how he used sand instead of lego pieces
Verry good
I watched it now 500 Times and lined it as 1 one the firsts and I love it and also little tip use Sound fron Call of duty ww2 they get a reward for it so it would be great like youre Videos
Good job
