fail.....american bombsites where still are shit German bombing pinpoint, this bomb these guys playing with useless Germans had tv guided and radio guided bombs 😅

In Hitlers Mario party the goal was to not get a star

I don't need the blood and guts, I just like the battle footage and of course our brave soldiers rockin and rollin

8:55 happened while I was working below decks. Dude survived the intake. Probably the only one that ever will.

American narrators can't pronounce words properly.

Lets goooo!

I have to think someone didn't do their research. Too many ships called Battleships when the Graf Spee couldn't resist cruiser gunfire. Heavy & Light cruisers could damage a Battlecruiser, but Battleship armor will protect them against cruiser gunfire. The HMS Hood is an up armored Battle cruiser, not a Battleship. Details matter!

There were no winners in WW2, both sides were funded by the same people, I lost family in UK WW2, on recent close examination of my ancestry, I also lost distant cousins in Germany , so no winners , and a loss of our ancestral history so sadness for everyone 😢😢😢

My grandmother took a bus from Spring City, TN down to Charleston, SC to visit her sister-in-law at one point during the war. But after a week, when she tried to catch a bus to go back home, she couldn't get one. Charleston was a naval port and boatloads of sailors came in every day and got shore leave to go visit their families in other parts of the county. Servicemen got priority seating on all transportation for just that reason--they had a very limited time to go home and then they had to get back on time. My grandmother waited all of one day at the bus terminal without getting a seat. Sometime into her second day of waiting, she lamented aloud, "Oh, I'm never going to be able to get back home!" A sailor overheard her and said, "Come on, come with me." And he got her on the bus with him by pretending she was his wife. Once away from Charleston, she didn't have any problem getting connecting buses the rest of the way.

Obama beggin for money lower this video

I remember when the FORRESTAL came to the Philadelphia naval ship yard. They started to sink millions into him for a major overhaul, then based on some bizarre things that happened they decided enough is enough and finally decommissioned it. A whole section of the ship was a perpetual shrine in perpetual darken ship mode for the fallen ;rows and rows of empty racks. The ship was not only haunted but had many fires after the big one. Some men called it the U.S.S. ZIPPO. FORRESTAL was murdered at Bethesda naval hospital. They made it look like he jumped out a window. He threatened at the time he would divulge the alien problem that the world needed to know. The ship was plagued with problems from day one. FORRESTAL got his revenge ; a message sent but not received fully; untill making its appearance in Philadelphia. Its motto was FID First in Defense. I bought a few zippo lighters from the ships store with the emblazoned U.S.S. FORRESTAL logo; how ironic ;while they slowly gutted the ship of all its important hardware. I went to the decommissioning ceremony; the current capt. Was pretty upset that his ship was taken away from him. But he was lucky. They murdered a good man; then build a ship after him. The ultimate act of deceit; as some of these ships are. Trying to cloak and appease; and every president wants their carrier like its some kind of right of selfish passage. In the end the bizarre wins; no matter who you are or try to change it. Put out of its misery once and for all.

I always wondered when they do the renactments do they pretend to get hit and blown up ?

I love these shorts, great upload sir

Hell in the hell do you hit the end of the deck on the back of the carrier? Can’t you see that you below the glide scope?

That Confederate reenactor @53:10 was really into his part. Watch his final scene., Now that's drama... I uope that face plant earned him an emmy.

All on again 2025

Besides all the sailor’s lives which were lost, all I could think about was our tax dollars! Billions and billions… Much respect to those brave pilots and crew members.

Semper Fi! I became a Marine in 1969 because men like these were my roll models growing up. Thanks to all of them for what they did and endured and stood for. And the 'them' are all the US servicemen (and of any color).

wonderful documentary looking forward to the next, though they make one minor mistake, ANZAC General John Monash is simply one of the finest Generals of any war. Not just Australia's but any General of any war.

I remember the Forrestal fire. She earned the name, "USS Zippo".

I applaude the extensive use of an economic perspective to the discussion in this video documentary. You did an absolutely superb job of blending military power, politics, economics, and most of all a human perspective. I commend you on a fresh and very comprehensive presentation on this topic. Bravo!!! - Rev, Christopher Jenkins

Hell is war.

Gloworm bloody autospell

Gloom rammed the Hipper not the other way round

At the time of the bombing, Dresden was packed with refugees from Silesia, who had narrowly escaped the onslaught of the Red Army. Hundreds of thousands filled the streets of Dresden, hoping to catch one of the few westward trains. They just vanished in the firestorm that engulfed the city. Their death was never accounted for, but the number which is estimated by some historians would make the bombing of Dreden the greatest war crime ever, even surpassing Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. The official figure of 25,000 casualties just states the deaths of inhabitants of Dresden. With that in mind, we should pledge ourselves to peace - and not to wage war by supporting a madman in Ukraine who is setting out to murder the Russian population in eastern Ukraine.

Hitler wanted to rule the world...is that insane or what?

No peace in earth as long as national armies aren't dismantled.The army is a slaughter institution and patriotism is an illogical assumption that a country one is accidently born in is superior to another country, and a dangerous virus which has wiped out millions of innocent men and women, for no reason whatsoever.One needs be taught to think globally and ACT locally to promote humans and shun patriotism. Any taker?

Who was really responsible for these bombings? The allies, or Adolph Hitler????

It was easy for him, only 33 hours, keep cruising, only Weather, Navigation only problems. Probably ate lunch. Took short naps. Not as difficult as people think. They add alot of drama to it.

❤❤❤

A right-wing German historian has described the Allied bomber squadron as a well-organized, complex death factory that positions itself over a city and burns its inhabitants alive without resorting to gas chambers. He puts it in the context of the Holocaust, in which people were driven to death factories while the Allies brought the death factories to the people.

Thank you for sharing this very moving story of your father. And thanks also to the surviving men from both sides for being willing to take part and share their experiences.

13,000 views, and only 1 comment? Geez Louise. Well, now there's two comments.

My dad’s older brother fought there, awarded a Bronze Star for action in the repelling of two banzi charges, hand to hand combat. After the war, he suffered PTSD and later took his own life. My dad wanted to name me after him, but my mom refused because my uncle got into a fight with my dad. He was drunk and said my dad didn’t know what real combat was. My dad earned a Silver Star fighting in Italy. My dad was a drill Sergeant prior to the outbreak of war, highly skilled in hand to hand combat and easily subdued my uncle. My dad loved his brother and understood what he was going through mentally. After my uncles death, my dad included my cousins on fishing and hunting trips.

Fun Fact: Storm Troopers or "Sturmtruppen" was the name given to the Canadians by the Germans in WW1 for their notable speed, accuracy and effectiveness. In WW2 the Germans just used that name for themselves to heighten their moral but were not the original Sturmtruppen.

I just read all the comments & the intro’s still going! 😂 Great video though! 😎👍🏽

Americans have never been this healthy.

For sure in my opinion someone should do a documentary on the Killer Hogs and these killer hogs were regular hogs that came from the mountains around Gettysburg and came and eat some of the dead and wounded soldiers on the battlefield of Gettysburg.

Ooh rahh

And my upmost regards to the individual families involved with any and all of the lives,,, Lives. Lost in any and all of the video I and many others have and will see in the future

The men had no idea how to deal with the event at hand. My opinion is that they are especially the best of the best of the best. Ooh rahh

And leadership is not there because leadership was killed

What about the lives saved besides the thousands of dollars lost by the heroic actions of the men that saved lives. Not money

Misleading title. HUMVEES were not introduced during W.W. II and are not tanks.

Une histoire familiale sur la WW2 : tous mes grands-pères lorrains ont été incorporés de force dans l'armée allemande. Il s'agit de "Malgré-Nous" mosellans qui avaient été obligés de se présenter aux autorités allemandes sous peine de voir leurs famille déportée dans un camp de concentration. En effet la Moselle et l'Alsace faisaient à nouveau partie du III Reich. Donc le père à ma mère qui venait de terminer son service militaire dans l'armée française, cavalerie légère, s'est retrouvé comme estafette à moto sur le front russe dans la Werhmacht. Il était pro-communiste, travaillait à la SNCF et détestait l'uniforme qu'il portait ainsi qu'Hitler. Fin 1943 il décide de déserter lors d'une permission. A cette époque les soldats allemands rentraient avec leur arme, en l'occurrence un fusil Mauser 98k et des munitions, car au retour ils ignoraient où se trouverait leur régiment sur une ligne de front très mouvante. A son arrivée son arme était déposée soit à la gendarmerie française, institution que l'occupant avait gardée, soit à la Kommandantur. On tamponnait son Soldbuch, son livret militaire, pour prouver qu'il était bien arrivé. Avant son départ son arme lui était remise et il avait droit à un nouveau coup de tampon. Un fois dans le train mon grand-père se met en civil, glisse le fusil dans un étui de canne à pêche et déserte. Quelques semaines plus tard la Gestapo est à ses trousses. Lors d'une perquisition il échappe de peu à la capture et on l'aurait exécuté sans pitié. Il sont plusieurs déserteurs qui survivent tant bien que mal en se gardant des bandes de SS qui patrouillent pour pendre les lâches, les déserteurs et les résistants. Et puis un jour trois nazis, deux Feldgendarmen et un agent de la Polizeï accompagné d'un chien, se dirigent directement vers leur cachette c'est à dire sous un petit pont du ruisseau la Bibiche près de Metzersche 57. Il est probable qu'ils ont été dénoncés. Mon grand-père attend que ses poursuivants soient à bonne distance et les tue tous. Les Allemands plein d'arrogance ne s'attendaient certainement pas à une embuscade. Ce jour-là il a également sauvé la vie de ses copains déserteurs et la sienne. Il a gagné sa liberté en se battant. Heureusement l'armée du général Patton a traversé la rivière Moselle peu après. Mon grand-père maternel était sauvé. Ma famille regorge d'histoires concernant la WW2 et elle a beaucoup souffert de l'occupation. Encore merci à tous ces soldats alliés qui ont souffert pour notre liberté. Votre souvenir reste gravé dans nos cœurs et nos mémoires. PS : et dire que la jeune génération refuse de se battre pour la France selon un récent sondage. Heureusement que les JEUNES soldats alliés n'ont pas fait la même chose sinon...

How about that John McCain disaster I heard about when he was a pilot on the USS Forrester ? Heard he screwed around and "wet fired" a startup on his jet to cause a massive backfire exhaust explosion to prank his fellow pilots then accidentally discharged a missle that flew across deck and exploded several other planes and caused a massive fire at bow of deck and killed several crew members ... He's a "hero" Anybody else hear or read this account ?

I love tanks!

I know they did a movie on them long time ago....someone should do a modern version of it

Ever get the feeling you might have been on the wrong side in the war?

When I played World of Tanks, early years. My favorite tank was the Russian T-50-2. It was a light tank. Set it up and you're so fast no one can hit you. I ran circles around people.
