What a good writer is Ben. He’s not bad at narrating too.
As a Brit myself, I offer my most sincere apologies to all Polish people. You were a vital and courageous fighting force without which the Nazis would have won the war.. You where very badly treated post WW2 by the Brits and Americans, it disgusts me. I love the Poles for their endeavor and tenacity in WW2 . god bless you all
ur
You people are nuts. The US never treated Poland horribly and never 'sold them out.' Did you really expect the allies to go to war with the soviets? Thats how we sold them out? By not continuing the war? It isnt our fault Poland lies between Berlin and Moscow, please.
Nope. Ive never heard an ill word spoken about poles and ive lived in 2 countries (US/Canada) and about 6 u.s. states. In canada had several polish friends. Youre a whiny apologist, for something that didn't happen. Not where i lived, speak for yourself or the UK. This "on behalf" business is a bit pretentious. This youre uninformed bit doesnt work either. You havent bothered to explain what these terrible wrongs were supposed to be. Dont call on europeans and poles for help! I dont need to ask them. You accused Americans buttwipe now back it up with something other than a snivelling appeal to others.
@joe jitsu seriously? it was the brits.. the declared war on germany for invading poland but not on russia for the same deed at the same time and Roosevelt died before the end of the war so he had no part in the second betrayal
Yep, i knew it. Pointing fingers at allies while ignoring the 3rd party at Yalta. I guess you fools think the u.s. and england could have persuaded Stalin otherwise. Russia didnt need anyones help pushing that border all the way to Berlin. And he certainly wasn't afraid of either party. Whatever was said or unsaid at Yalta isnt terribly relevant.
I don't think we, America, sold out the Polish. You forget how much this country is made up of Polish immigrants and descendants. Roosevelt was not a socialist. The man was elected 4 times, and served 3 terms in our democracy. He did a heck of a lot for my country. The fact is, a lot of people resent America because of our prowess and how much people rely on us. As for the Soviets, the British were pretty much alone and couldn't take down the USSR. Even when we and others joined in, we were exhausted and war weary, and we, the USA, took it on the nose in the Pacific, where we lost most of our guys and gals.
Tactically speaking, we couldn't cover that much ground and hold it. The basic thing is, when it comes to the USA, we are called upon a lot more than others. It is a mixture of jealousy, resentment, and a lack of understanding of why we are a great nation, despite our past transgressions. And one thing also must be remembered: If America is so terrible, then why are people coming here seeking a better life? Why is there a waiting list to get inside and start making a better life? Hardly any other country is sought by so many to come and reside in.
Fantastic documentary. Every time Ben MacIntire brings out a new book it is compulsive reading for me.
They should have let that woman keep her dog and save themselves a headache, Thank you to all who served front line and war rooms.
British bureaucracy I'm afraid, we love our quaint little ways. Plus with the security around the whole thing MI5 couldn't tell customs and immigration we need to let her dog in because she's important to d day. Paranoia is the natural mood in counter intelligence
Fascinating and astonishing story more fantastic than any fiction
very good series..so many hero`s we never knew of all to save lives and end the war..God Bless them all..
The thing about the Germans "thinking in straight lines" is still pretty true today. As a Brit living in Germany for 30 years I can assure you that irony and sarcasm don't play well here because they tend to take what you say at face value. I was once asked why I left England to live here and flippantly replied (with a straight face) "I killed a couple of guys and had to get out of the country fast". Two weeks later someone ELSE asked me, in all seriousness, if it was true!
The best description of the German people I ever heard was: "The Germans love spontaneity - as long as they know it's coming"

And yet Monty Python was huge there at one time...
Not confined to Germany, as an Irishman in Canada I’m often surprised that my joking remarks are treated with such seriousness and given credibility!
Organized, dependable, responsible.
Jim lastname true, boring, but Bach, Beethoven , Mann, Feuschwanger, Götte, Strauß ., Einstein came from there.
The music when talking about Lily's dog is awesome.
R.I.P. BABS!!!!
The real hero in this story.
The condescending treatment of Lily Sergeuiew, all that she asked was to have her dog returned to her. She was paid far, far, far, less than the men, naturally .... and treated like a nitwit. Ben McIntyre really did a disservice to her memory.
A very interesting and riveting documentary. Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating...thanks for sharing.
CHILLING OUT TO THESE DOCUS FANTASTIC 😎❤️👌
I could spend an entire day listening to snippets of commentary from Hugh Astor and R.V. Jones. And then a second one.
this should be a movie.
Anyone else find the bit at the end with Garbo very moving 😢 i wonder if their is more footage from the interview.
I love the way he says, "Frontz"
BRAVO
How Good is This Doco.
Very interesting documentary
The Aerial shown at 20:52 was nothing like the ones required in service..but the radio dial was genuine ...AR 88...in use at the time and a fair amount today by hobbyists
He says 2 days later the report was decoded and translated AND delivered, my god the postal service did alright in ww2.
Ha, very amusing. Documents sent electronically. Unlike Axis messages, sent under secure codes....
@@psk1w1 They were sent in hard-copy with dedicated dispatch riders.
If only we had brave men today, like these wonderful heroes. And how these men would be ashamed, if they could see, what the politicians of today are doing to the country and continent they helped save, during the dark days of WW2. These politicians are, in fact, throwing the achievements of these heroes back in their faces, as worthless. Otherwise they would be doing all they can to retain the country so many risked - or, indeed, sacrificed - their lives to protect.
Trixie Trueblood You missed the entire point of the show. It ends with “He didn’t know his own courage until he found it in war.” We’re luck that the war the “Greatest Generation” fought among the world order they set up after it has not require the same courageous sacrifice of that era. But that does not mean there are many Today who could do just the same if required.
Best genetics was destroyed in WW1 And WW2. Was done n purpose
Larisa Sosis On purpose? Of course not. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny wouldn’t have let that happen!
Jim lastname Read! Improves intellect. Easter bunnies- complete morons respond like that.
We've got plenty of brave men now. And politicians were just as disgusting back then, as they are now.
BRILLIANT STRATEGY OF DECEPTION
Lost sound in several parts.
Why this loss of sound from 21.15 to 21.26? What did he say here? Censored?
Breaks in audio are highly distracting.
Without them, due to copyright laws, we would be able to watch at all.
Good doc, but "HD" should be removed from the title. Max resolution is 360p.
I think he coded "US3MO" but I am sooo slow that I had to hear it about 8 times. 73
15:17 I read that as "Pure Evil"
Nice 1 Britain well done
This excellent series really takes a condescending view of "Treasure" or Lily Sergeuiew, calling her dangerous and unstable. She did a lot more than collect chicken feed! Where did McIntyre get this information? True, she was angry that her dog was not returned to her. She had a temporary kind of breakdown there; but so did the male spies, who took terrible risks. Lily she was also paid a real pittance, far less than the other spies whom the British courted. Then, the British charged her rent. The men, meanwhile, were paid handsomely. A more nuanced view can be found on various places,, and the more I learn about this brave woman, the more I dislike this terrible and sexist portrait of her.
Books are always best, and not just ‘a’ book on the subject at hand, but other books that cover the subject. People who rely on videos and quick google searches gleaned very little from history (though they comment as if they’re experts). Well done yours. Thank you from r setting the record straight on this thread. I just hope people read the facts you have provided.
There's a really bad error in the first 3 minutes. Garbo never worked for the Germans. He started out as a freelance anti-Nazi agent.
The only person during WWII, so far as we know, who was awarded both German and British decorations.
einrib4truth get off of your anti-Semitic. No the Jews are not to blame. Evil is. Now yes spies were sent behind enemy lines to send information and sabatage, they are heroes just as those allies weho went into Normandy are heroes.
LOL @@einrib4truth
It's not an error. Codename Arabella.
@@einrib4truth How stupid can you get, The BBC owned by Jews !!!!
The BBC is a 'Public Corporation': neither a private corporation nor a government department. The high ideal is that it is held in trust for the public of the UK by the BBC Trust (the successor to the Board of Governors following the renewal of the BBC Charter by the government in 2006).
Mike Summers-Smith _____ No one knows if he 'worked' for the Germans or not. The actual truth was that many agents 'worked' for both sides. They had to, to stay alive. As long as the British, or Germans believed, on balance, that an agent to be worth more than they were costing them they kept them and didn't look to closely at their modus operandi in the field. It was a very dirty business - still is.
And there are several losses of sound later, also! Why?
55:00 i did all i could. DUDE!!! you did more than anyone would think of you. James Bond is a kid in comparison .
Should have sorted out the sound !
it's still hard to believe that 5,000 ships could leave the coast without the germans knowing it was happening.
They new the invasion was coming the spy,s must have seen the build up of arms troops I would think that they did not have precise information of the invasion. possibly seen practicing invasion maneuver and passed of the real invasion a another exercise.
Dambuster The spies were to send information of German Troop build up, deceive The Germans and yes help The Underground sabatage.
Not so much. The Allies dominated the sky from late 1940 onward
You have to consider the element of human psychology. Once the mind has created a firm model of what's going on, it becomes very difficult to properly interpret contradictory information. Truth was drowned out by the false intelligence generated by the British deception efforts.
@@gammondog Confirmation bias.
Ben MaCintyre is the best
Fire the sound man.
I hope agent Treasure was a more convincing cyclist than Ben Macintyre
4:50 Lt. Robertson? Looks like Tony ROBINSON !!!!!!! And..... there's a "cunning plan" involved.
It was tony robinson, lol
Couldn’t watch with the sound breaking ffs
His friend hmmm....
12:00 is Lilly bjork's grandmother?
That Jonny Gepson was a good Deutsche
Johnny Jebsen. You can look him up on the Web.
The sound keeps cutting out. Most annoying. Unwatchable 😭👎
HD? misinformation.
Notice what OP did? Just repeat the same metatag in the text and you'll end up at the top of the search results.
No sign of HD in the picture here. In fact, the picture quality is rather inferior.
Othewise a very good documentary! As usual , when BBC produces.
German forces did NOT outnumber Allied forces by D-Day. USA alone had TWELVE MILLION MEN in military service. USSR had a similar number. The combined Allied armed forces exceeded anything that Germany could possibly mount.
75,000 American troops landed in D Day; out of a total of more than 150,000 Allied troops. The whole operation was led by the brilliant General Dwight D. Eisenhower, an American. But this British production barely mentions the tremendous sacrifice of these men, along with Canadians, Australians, etc. It's understandable that the English should take pride in this production, but it's ludicrous to devote nothing more than a sentence or two to the contributions all of the Allies made...along with the loss of life. Not one word about the Russians who lost so many lives.
@@patricias5122 Must of watched a different show to me and I'm Canadian.
@@patricias5122 How many Russians were in Normandy? Oh that's right, it doesn't matter the doc. is about D-Day spies, so lets question why no mention of Russia, oh they were not there.
I'm not sure you understand what HD stands for.
Hardly Distinct, perhaps?
THE EDGE COMES OFF THIS WW2 SPY STORY VERY EARLY,,,,,,,TOO MANY BRITS MUMBLING THIS, MUMBLING THAT !
For a guy with such a crapy technique, he has a pretty good fist. .._. _... _ _ _ _ _
Not HD at all...
Tim Montgomery, I suppose they called it HD then... Lol
Idk why they call it that...
Gosh
The mystery of the death of the dog Babs, may never be solved. Implying that British government, fed up with the dog, had it executed... LMAO
36:40 Nazi DC3?
Great story. Most annoying part are the wimpy narrators keen on being in every scene. This is true even today.
Thumbs down, but only because the orator can not be heard from start to finish.
Brokrap here: ua-cam.com/video/d3hVXp5RzQ4/v-deo.html
Why is the guy riding a bike with a little basket...talking about war ?
Very poor docu full of non sequitors, voice cuts and unnecessary repeats worthy of some kind of censure. Comes off as inept British propoganda. Total lack of credibility.
Another propaganda piece on how this side was right . Trust me I'm American..we do it
Trust you ? , sounds like propaganda .
I mean, im pretty sure the Nazi's were in the wrong...
@@scaler2007 unfortunately, there are some Americans who now disagree with that. Many of them like to wear red trucker hats when they aren’t wearing their white hoods…
wow, the Brit's think they had a solution to this whole mess, they didn't stand a change w/o the US troops and billions of tons of supplies and equipment, you all would be speaking german right now if not for the bad ass US Army and Marines, hats off to all my brothers that never came home
There were no US Marines at D Day or beyond ,they were all in the Pacific
@@rosslynstone ??????? You're absolutely wrong on that point. The American troops numbered nearly 75,000 who landed in Normandy. The loss of life was very high. Even the most cursory Google research should tell you that.
@@patricias5122 I said there were no US marines taking part on D Day, not there were no American troops
@@MauriatOttolink Your position is greatly undermined by your astounding inaccuracy. Really! The most cursory research would you show you: The British were hardly bankrupted by paying back, since that debt was not repaid until 2006. A 60+ year loan is not really a loan at all. Would you have us believe that Great Britain has been bankrupt for the past 60 years? It's not a good thing to let your patriotism make you blind to historical facts.
@@patricias5122
Struggling to pay back a debt from 1940 to 2006 puts just a trace of being broke, into the nostrils of people who are nowhere near as bloody stupid as you are.
Your position is greatly undermined by your astounding absence of financial awareness.
We still had food rationing more than ten years later..How bankrupt is bankrupt?
It's not a good thing to allow your limited perception to send you down the path of blind fanaticism.
Bleep Bleep ... Ah! Did you hear that? It's my "idiot alert" reminding me to stop wasting time with prats. I've over run the time-out so I'll have to cut it shor.......
The BBC doing better post war propaganda like pros
Fred what planet have you been on. No The Germans did not win. Study.
+Julie Merritt are u german? cause u u dont understand sarcasm
hagen no American and proud of it.
Fred study History no they lost.
Jphn Williams get your liberal leftest head out of the sand. it was not propaganda. I feel sorry for you and the others. you are pathetic
