I really enjoyed watching this! Some really interesting facts. I never knew that Stukas were used for bomber hunting/ interception. Can’t wait for the next vid
Great topic for a video and entertaining. At 6:57 you say the army could call in the Stukas but my understanding was that the communications between the branches were actually quite poor and their radios operated on different frequencies. To request a strike, if I recall correctly, required going up through one hierarchy and then down the other. They improved this as the war progressed.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are correct in saying that generally communication between German-ground-forces and the Luftwaffe wasn't always possible on the battlefield, although I believe this is more a problem accounted on the Eastern Front when lines became much more thin and the Luftwaffe more widely-spread.
A few errors. 1. The Germans didn't do Blitzkrieg exempt in the fighting of short wars. What they did was Bewegungskrieg or maneouvre warfare. 2. You don't need the in front of HMS as this stands for His/Her Majesty's Ship. You can just say HMS Rodney or the Rodney.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 I'm not sure I quite understand the points you're trying to make. Firstly, I mentioned that the Germans didn't employ Blitzkrieg tactics in all campaigns, mostly due to the individual landscapes (Norway, and the Balkans.) Your 2nd point you seem to have answered yourself, I am well aware of what HMS stands for. Its a good way of distinguishing that the ship in question is British.
@jozefward8433 firstly the Germans in 1940 would have asked you to explain what you meant by blitzkrieg. It was not a term they would understand. They used combined arms manoeuvre warfare. It did not matter about the terrain being fought in. After the removal of most of the BEF from France in 1940 the Germans were fighting in terrain that wasn't mountainous in the main but still didn't use what you and many others have called blitzkrieg. When it comes to referring to British warships you can say the "name of the ship" or HMS "name of the ship". You never say the HMS "name of the ship". It quite simple. You don't use the definite article when the next world is a personal pronoun.
