So there’s this guy on UA-cam and he’s called (Whatifalthist) that is of course he’s UA-cam name, he’s a historian UA-camr and he makes videos about history, geopolitics and he talks a bit about philosophy, he has made some videos about the Russian-Ukraine war right and a potential war between Taiwan and china
He also had made a video about the potential for a second German empire and the possible future for the European Union
To see a kid and their mom trying to actually deter you would most likely give you heavy PTSD…or at least I’d be pretty bent up about that
Fuck it
It's a touch too hyperbolic to compare anything to Stalingrad.
Never had the word pyrrhic been so horrifyingly displayed than Stalingrad.
Does WW1 trenches compete?
@@sponandspon92 Probably, the siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean war is also a decent contender.
Stalingrad is not really a pyrrhic victory, it's an extremely costly victory but a decisive one, Russian losses are not for nothing in Stalingrad while in Aachen it was completly pointless.
@@sponandspon92 take in to account, in all 4 years of ww2 9-11 million soldiers died. In Stalingrad, in just its 6 months of fighting, 2 million soldiers had died. Yes the total is small but the rate of casualties was greater.
@@dissapointingopinions4877 difference is, in the siege of Sevastopol disease was the main killer, Stalingrad it was 2 sides fighting to the death with eachother at any cost and with no expense to human life.
If Tommy played more EU4, he’d have known where Aachen was lol
I was boutta say how tf a german dont know where it is, but I, an American in Michigan can name where cities are in germany lmfao.
Aachen is a must see.
The remains of Charlemagne can be seen there.
I went there last year as well as trier and both were great.
I did a report on it for my German Class, such a fascinating city
should check out the battle of Manila in the Philippines my god what a brutal sad battle
@crassgop probably wouldn't have saved it in a sense
The people would be massacred as retaliation, the city will survive but the masses will not
You can enjoy the aesthetics of war while also realising how much of a waste conflicts can become
also *SCRAPPING THE BARREL*
Yes but how many “history kids” actually understand that? War is a tragedy first, an aesthetic last. I enjoy the aesthetic a lot but we shouldn’t ever stop fighting against war
i love that like in the chat the ppl were talking more about the dutch-belgium border situation and possibilitys than watching the damn vid XD
Asia Stalingrad the Battle of Manila
thank god tommy is not a politician in goverment position
I can't stop thinking about COD WW2 when seeing or hearing the 1st infantry division or 16th infantry regiment
11:35 I know im going to sound stupid but America's leader can't really do much like declare war or pass a law without the congress agreeing by a vote
I don't agree with Tommy on politics, but I enjoy a German perspective on WWII.
well thewre you go
@@TommyKayVIBE I've been more exposed to British, and American points of view on the war, but rarely modern German points of view, or rarely modern Japanese points of view. How they live in cultural memory is interesting.
@@I_like_big_bombs Im german too and most think it was poitless because both sides lost familys and the city was so much destroyed
@@gamerdrache6076 the city of Aachen actually was mainly destroyed prior due to allied bombardments in the years prior since 1941, not due to this battle. Just like all other german cities. The bombings actually have been the reason why many if not most Germans kept on fighting - for revenge - and the natzis used the bombings for pro-war propaganda.
20:15 I have no doubt it’s an incomplete narrative thread. But I’ve always felt that’s a key piece of advantage in western/maybe anglospheric approach to war and battle. There’s no dishonour in a surrender. You submit today to fight tomorrow. It’s humiliating but it’s life, a chance to keep living. Sure it’s maybe useful to kamikaze a battle cruiser, but before long there’s no airforce left, and you’ll have no one to rebuild that system for next time etc etc. Take the loss, learn, try again next time.
Tommy saying "then you are lost" is like obi wan saying it :D
"It's always a man!"
Queen Elizabeth I who started 2 wars against Spain and birthed the British Empire onto the world stage:
It's a shame this battle isn't talked about as often as battles like Stalingrad or D-Day
11:26 Katherine the Great
so did tommy play SD2 in the end?
I was touched , when he said "We dont need leaders , we need councils" Its making me remember the days of the republic where those council mens just exploited everything.
"Always a man"
(queen Victoria nervously looking around)
Queen Victoria was a constitutional monarch, it was her Prime Ministers that did all the warring.
9:36 Can someone explain why chat goes on a tangent about furries?
It cut a few seconds before I think tommy was probably talking about something
Tommy casually thinking councils and Senates would ne much better :Ignores The Roman Republic
Only Tommy can turn the Nazis abandoning civilians in WW2 into a criticism of modern day Russia and also communists.
Cuse they all do that
Watching tommy for these many years. I can confidently say thank god tommy isn't in charge of the world. His political views are horrible and down right moronic but that's probably why i like watching him.
He is a centrist. He doesn't believe in big changes that Do actually stuff because He thinks it will lead to genocide wich does not have to be true. He is to stuborn to educate himself because the Media tells him to
Whats so moronic
This was the most based Video of Tommy i've ever seen
Being young and ignorant is thinking war is cool and badass. Being mature is knowing that war is misery but sometimes needed.
HOW ABOUT THE GREAT WAR ??
How much do ya’ll wanna bet that some of these Americans that fought in this battle were of German origin way back when Germany was still part of the HRE. (Emigrated to the U.S. in it’s early years)
americas stalingrad should be the battle of manila
no comments?
Yankees: "We also have our Stalingrad "
This can't even be compared to Stalingrad
That's literally not the point. It's saying it the American Stalingrad. As it was the one of the bloodiest city battles of the western front.
Aachen was the capital of Charlemagne's Frankish HRE.
war in inevitable 🙂, learn about Izlamik way of war u will be traumatized
Shutup and get down drones are coming for ur villages
unlike christians we have strict rules we need to follow in war
I like to see different prospectives on things and it seen only fools and mad men resort to violence and the sain are left to pick up the peices
4:30 you got a sub for that one. So hard to find rational people these days.
if you really want to know the psychological effect of this fight, consider that most of the American army were german-american descendants. during WW1 51% of the usa were German 1st language people (made illegal to speak during the war). My grandfather was a para-trooper for the 82nd (504th). he was fighting his extended family in Baden and Bavaria.
Indocrination won't make you fight even through a hellhole like this.
9:27 Its great that the good side always wins and the "indoctrinated side" always looses 🤨
Wow the political take was idiotic
The Armchair Historian gets many of his facts wrong. Wouldn't trust the guy.
Tommy's takes have become worse and worse as time goes on, sad to see him lose himself like this
How so?
@@kareemwail4495 He uttered the words "White Privilege".
@@kareemwail4495 literally a technocrat 🤓💀
@@edelweiss7928 he's not a technocrat yet he thinks he is one
@@frankg2790 And people got triggered because of that (?).
Tommykay trying not to give a low IQ take (Impossible)
How can you even compare this to Сталинград - Stalingrad? The battle of Stalingrad was over a span of a year and 1 million soviets died and around 500 thousand Germans died. I get the meaning behind the phrase, but it is misleading to people that don't know much about WW2. Stalingrad was also THE deadliest battle in history.
such a waste.
2:09 No. It resultet in the otherwise inevitable destruction of Germany and Europe. However the cause was the greates attempt ever made to save the German nation as well as the other european peoples.
yeah mayby not bombing germans and trying to acually build military tagets wouldve help free us
tommy saying germans were dumb and the fight was unnecessary, yet cheers for ukraine lol
I mean cheering for nazi germany isnt going to go down well
Imagine criticizing a people who are simply trying to defend their country from foreign invaders, bruh. They even call the Russians "occupiers" when referring to them.
Nah, seems about right to me.
That is literally not comparable at all
How's the cope doing for you now ?
7:20
tommy those white soldiers absolutely had "white privilege." They got to return home as heroes and reintegrate into normal society. The black American soldiers who sacrificed just as much came back to a country that hated them.
And the white russian soldiers?
@crassgop but the white privilege part
I would say yes and no. Nothing in life is fair, but to put the race of those soldiers before their actions is still a bit unfair. You can trace similar things back to the civil war in America when a lot of Black Americans got their first chance to be a soldier. Being a soldier in anyone's war isn't a privilege, and picking at the subject isn't going to help it's just pointing figurers rather then working on a solution.
A very drastic comparison but similar, would be the concept of ex-nazi/soldiers who were forced into the party/way of life. While bringing up what horribleness happened and why it happened and the faults of it. Pointing figures at "mass groups" of people only drives more people to be blindly angry. The idea of forgive but don't forget.
@@malec8517 why is it so hard for you to acknowledge that black soldiers had a harder time than whites.
more white soldiers died during ww2 so i cannot agree with that 100%
tommykay - histiorian politican and the biggest mind of this generation
What does Tommy mean by hardcore communist because people like Castro are known for developing human rights without question and protecting free speech and welfare
Every Cuban I know hates Castro, everyone inside that island wants to get the fuck out of there
Are we talking about the same guy who had foring squads who executed dissidents including minors, persecuted homosexuals, Jehova's witnesses and Catholics and sunk the ships of Cubans who tried to leave?
Yeah developing human rights without question...I know he also did good things but every single good thing Cuba did was done better in Denmark and Sweden without any killing or persecution needed, social democracies are just better than militaristic socialist goverments in every possible way.
