upcoming videos on this channel: - transforming my car in a German Tiger-tank - demilitarized Stuka-fighter unboxing - I built an airfield in front of my house
Fun fact: had the maginot line been extended through to the ardennes etc, it would've been extremely effective. Actually: it was extremely effective, since the germans had to cross the Ardennes, which was widely believed to be very, very hard, or even impossible, with the mobility and speed that the Germans used in Poland
@@joelthorstensson2772 Extremely effective? What a laugh. In Sebastopol, the Germans managed to destroy a Svoeit ammunition storage facility that was at least 15 meters underground. The Maginot forts, for most of them, would have been toast. A few fortresses like the A29 Hackenberg near Thionville, clevery using terrain, would have been alright. But for most of the French border with Belgium? It would have been mostly useless. Fortresses cannot stop air raids or paratroopers. Had one fort been put out of commission, even temporarily, by German fire, the French and British high-commands were far too slow and outdate to react properly. It would have been a repeat of what happened to the Belgian around Liège, during WW1, when the Germans set their heavy guns in place. "since the germans had to cross the Ardennes, which was widely believed to be very, very hard, or even impossible" Yet, they did. They pierced at Sedan, and we had lost the last chance to turn the war around. We didn't commit our airforces on the breach, we thought this was still the day and age of bunkers, trenches, and static warfare. But this was the age of the radio, the LMGs, the paratroopers, the tanks, the airforces. The age of interbranch cooperation and action. We thought this was WW1 or WW1.5. But this was WW2.
Do you have an MP40? If you don’t there is this replica company called “Denix” it’s a Spanish company, I bought the MP40 it’s very realistic the trigger even effects the bolt when you pull the trigger.
It’s so interesting to see the variety of uniforms that were worn by the German infantry in WW2. When I first learned about this, it surprised me, especially when growing up with films like Kelly’s Heroes and others that showed all German soldiers wearing the early war uniform and jackboots. Thank you Nick for such an interesting video, I really enjoyed watching it.
-goede morguen ¿politie? -ja! -i see different ww2 german soldiers in the backyard of my neighbour, straat XXXXX number XX -oh! god verdomme! this crazy Nick again!!
Man your attention to detail is amazing. As a USMC veteran and student of world War 2 history I certainly appreciate your attention to detail and your dedication to history. Your videos are awesome, I just subscribed but have been a long time viewer, thanks!
No wonder we liberated you guys as you're so so funny. On a serious note lets hope you do a Christmas scene looking from your bunker with snow outside looking into No mans land !!!!!! Epic
Why almost everyone is skips heer in 30’s. Most of the people treat ww2 as if it started and 1940, it’s kinda sad to forget about Poles, Finns and others
@@IS-2_1944 that was just the Sino-Japanese war. It’s not counted as being part of the war, despite extending into World War 2, due to the fact that it wasn’t the conflict that started the war. The conflict that did was the German invasion of Poland.
This video is very interesting for me. It is cool to see so many different uniforms of different periods of the war. Can you do this for allied uniforms, too? This would make me very happy! Good Luck with your next projects and stay healthy!
Fun fact: the reason his impressions sometimes have a mustache and sometimes don't are because the Heer took Movember very seriously. So the impressions without the stache are for every other month... Or he just didn't want to shave
im so glad you did this i appreciate your work you put in all of them looks great i liked the gun flash of the gun if i may ask what is the name of that coat at the end. i would have gotten one off your mates and made them go in the next uniform/impressions so he could show that while you are changing this is only a suggestion. i wish i had the money to get so much german Equipment Keep up the good work dont work your self to hard i care about this channel and you :) (no Homo)
Great video! Working on a Normandy Sanitäter impression, which is my first foray into German reenactment! Have been doing British and American for the last 12 years now
I like watching your video has been doing it for the last 3 or 4 years. I was intrigued by WW2 when I found out you were digging up leftovers. and teach their history how they survived and how they lived
@@biopower5160 nah. German uniforms are abit overrated to me. late war 1944 to 45 kits look good though. But after researching all the the other countries in the war i feel they get overlooked. Its sad when they all have unique and honestly better looking uniforms than the germans. Bulgaria and Hungary for example have very nice uniforms
@@biopower5160 Maybe german style but with that nice mauser bandolier belt and unique helmet its still distinctively not german. Some Swedish volunteers with the finnish army used their full swede uniforms in the winter war too so they saw combat. With all Swedish insignia taken off though
Loved these 13 videos. Awesome. I would think that one must feel pretty proud putting on those uniforms. I sure would feel real proud. Thanks for sharing your videos. Wow
HI Nick, I love what you do, and I'm a great fan of yours, and I have been watching your video's for sometime (very entertaining & informative). The only thing I would say about your latest video is that in your early war (1940) impression you should be wearing jack boots as ankle boots were not issued to the infantry for frontline duty until a little later on, certainly after the invasion of Russia. And you need to tighten your waist belt as the weight of your kit was folding your waistbelt down at the back. Keep up the good work, I'm sure that you are inspiring the younger generation to take a keen interest in WW2
i doubt it. History isnt just a few uniform impressions. Theres no point learning about just the uniforms if you dont learn about the war as a whole, from "dumb" school.
It's a good day when you post something mate!I'm saving this to watch tomorrow night with my girlfriend. She isn't into ww2 history stuff like I am, but it's fun annoying her with this stuff on our big T.V. Actually, she's seen so many of your vids by now that she's decided you're a "Very sweet boy" I'm slowly working on her- Maybe one day her and I can reenact together! That's the dream anyway.. and I thank you History Secrets for putting such good ww2 content out there! Much Love from New Zealand!
Being into history, reenacting, collecting, etc, and having an S/O to do that with is always a great feeling. I wish I had that, but I just have to keep looking for someone with the same interests.
Ah yes, finally something for me to enjoy while I'm dealing with school work. I really enjoyed the background music for this one! It made the video better
Wow, such an awesome and informative video. As a WW2 German Army fan I really enjoyed learning about the different uniforms and how they changed through the war. Thank you.
Dear, Nick if you are reading this I would like you to know that you have inspired me to save up for a reproduction of a 101st airborne uniform and also I want to thank you for making the videos and ps I am a German American and I grew up in America and your videos made me realize that history is done and I should not hate my heritage. One last thing keep up the good work your videos make me smile and know that history is awesome sincerely, Major Stroud
Hey dude with all the stuff you got you shouldn't be short of content, I've ALWAYS loved your dedication to your hobby, just go for it dude, blow it outta the water , much respect
I was inspired by you to start my own collection. I started about a year ago and have a 1940 heer outfit some repo and some original because of the price. Keep it up you inspire so many people.
Thank you for the video and all the effort you put into it. Really enjoyed it. And I love your pup. I have 3 . One Greyhound and two whippets. All rescued. The best little friends you can ask for. enjoy.
Hi I have a lot of ww2 gaer. I had a past life and I got in ww2 dering badle of the balg. I was a german soliger and I can still tok grmin. I'm vary imprest you have a vary good like for history you are the best God bless you.😔
upcoming videos on this channel:
- transforming my car in a German Tiger-tank
- demilitarized Stuka-fighter unboxing
- I built an airfield in front of my house
Probably true
Well it'll be cool if it did happen tho
Hahaha
Hmm, sounds like a plan!
I want to see those happen
"Mama, the weird neighbor is invading europe again."
Ha ha very funny
@@Yankeestopmotion very funny indeed.
Lolllll
Hahaha. Lol
Lol
Upcoming videos:
- buying a ww2 jeep
- building a ww2 machine gun nest
He has already done a machine gun nest in his bunker
Don't buy a jeep, build one
Its fairly cheaper and you know what everything is
I am building a 43 GPW atm
Its very fun
That would be so cool
@@kyleh3615 cool
I would like to see fallschirmjäger uniform
mee too
Panzersoldat1
Me too but they ate expensive af
Me to
If you want Fallschirmjäger go to @BRman102 best fj kit
I never clicked so fast on a video hahaha
Same
sameeee
I have
Same
yes
we are waiting for the video "i have a german 88 gun in my backyard"
Coming soon! 🤣
Is there going to be a new video
❔❔
Just wait until he actually sets up a 20mm flak in his backyard
Yrue
For the “Captured by the Allies” you should have gotten one of your friends to dress up in a WW2 American uniform so it looked more real.
It might not have been possible as due to the current situation he might have been unable to get anyone to dress up an allies.
"Captured by Soviets" would just be dead on the floor lol
@@Armo1997 thats the gulag impression
Eh, not really lol. 😂
Last time I was so early, the Maginot Line was still thought to be effective
Fun fact: had the maginot line been extended through to the ardennes etc, it would've been extremely effective.

@@joelthorstensson2772 lase time I was this early the schlifeen plan would have worked
@@Briselance it served it’s purpose. It was meant to funnel the Germans north through the Benelux region. And that’s what it did.
@@joelthorstensson2772 the Germans literally drove around it and through it
Do you have an MP40? If you don’t there is this replica company called “Denix” it’s a Spanish company, I bought the MP40 it’s very realistic the trigger even effects the bolt when you pull the trigger.
I had an original MP40, I made a video about it, it's somewhere on my channel. Too bad I sold it..
@@History-Secrets How do you get all these things?
Umarex legends weatherd, is a bit better in my opinion. It’s a BB gun which makes it even better.
Yes, but they tend to be more expensive then replicas, and less realistic.
@@warcrimesenjoyer4234 One word, America! Just kidding I don't know.

Whenever he uploads it’s a good day
hey nick i’ve been watching you for a couple years now but recently i started my own collection. keep doing what your doing it’s inspiring many people

You’re not a student of world war 2 that’s not a valid degree at university stfu
No wonder we liberated you guys as you're so so funny.

That sounds like a great idea he needs to do it
@@flynncarter229 Hey I'd supply the football.
Why almost everyone is skips heer in 30’s. Most of the people treat ww2 as if it started and 1940, it’s kinda sad to forget about Poles, Finns and others
Well if you think about it World war 2 technically began July 7th 1937 when Japan invaded China
@@IS-2_1944 that was just the Sino-Japanese war. It’s not counted as being part of the war, despite extending into World War 2, due to the fact that it wasn’t the conflict that started the war. The conflict that did was the German invasion of Poland.
I do a Bulgarian uniform. Dont worry not everyone has forgotten about the other countries
@@jackarmstrong8790 i was just going out on a limb there. I know the war started in 39
And now modern day Portland, Modern day antifa/blm & alt left fascism.

So nice men good work
Wow that's is a really cool uniform! I someday I will get one
Salaam, I heard there is a plenty of re-enactments in Indonesia, especially with Imperial Japanese Army. Is that right?;)
I love your youtube channel so much
I find it really cool how he included parts where he's captured or in the snow. It'd be really cool if he made a Luftwaffe Paratrooper impressions.
Letssss go I’m Excited for this it’s gonna be amazing and thank you so much for this video I’ve been waiting for so long
1940 they didn't use lowboots and not all soldiers had y-straps
hey man i love your videos and i click on these whenever i see them on my recommended, and i really hope you do more stuff like this
Only one thing. The rifle's shoulder rest was plated around from 1941.
Sharp, really good eye, I totally forgot my Mauser had a plated butt! :)
@@History-Secrets But, I really appreciate that, you shaved yourself to demonstrate rookies in HBT tunic 👌👌
Who loves history secrets?

you cant lie that the Germans had the best uniforms in ww2.
Vielen Dank! That was very interesting, we really appreciate your job! Good luck in the future projects!
My Opa was in the German army as a cavalry and was Shot and captured in Russia. And then escaped

Anyone else play with their WW2 items while watching History Secrets?
Yep me too!

You should do Dutch impressions or Americans
Bulgarian too

only...sateh, pisang, knalpot, handuk, senang, nasi goreng and tempo doeloeh.

Sorry, I can't! 😅
I think its the other way arround that 75% off indonesian people speak dutch but i dont think that number is that high.

You could make this into a series possibly. Could have a Fallschirmjäger episode or a mg like you said. Love the video though!
