  72. Biggest mistake in this video is that false claim that this war started in 2006 with Calderon. It started around 2002-2003 when the Sinaloa federation attempted to take Nuevo Laredo from the Gulf Cartel with government backing. The Leader of the Gulf Cartel at the time was Osiel Cardenas, who recruited ex military from Mexico’s special forces called GAFE, they were the original Zetas. The government arrested Osiel after a big shot out and the Sinaloans started arriving in Nuevo Laredo. The Zetas successfully defended Nuevo Lared and then countered attacked, also setting up in different parts of Mexico setting up extortion rackets and controlling local drug sales. Long story short all the older drug organizations copied the Zetas because they had to counter them. CJNG started out as an organization called the MataZetas aka “zeta killers” to push the Zetas out of Jalisco. The MataZetas were an armed wing of the Sinaloans and Michoacan drug traffickers. CJNG despite their name is controlled from people of Michoacán, their leader Mencho was born and raised in Aguililla Michoacan. The people that run CJNG now were at one point allies of the Sinaloan and Michoacán traffickers they now fight. Mencho married a woman from a big Family in Aguililla Michoacán that big time internal national drug dealers who were known as the Cuinis. The Cuinis worked with the Sinaloans against the Zetas. Point that the Sinaloans attempt to take Nuevo Laredo gave raise to the Zetas, and every other Cartel copied the Zetas on having militarized gunmen.

  111. Great analysis, thank you very much for the video. A couple of quick sidenotes from the Russian perspective: 1) The ratio of wounded ones to the killed ones is, according to what I've heard from mobilised medics, much higher than 3 to 1, in fact it's closer to 6 to 1, simply because the vast majority of wounds are very minor wounds from shell fragmentation and debree, which are treated in a matter of a week. So they do a little trick. The doctors record these people in the medical books, they get medical treatment and occupy sleeping places in the hospitals, and their personal data in the MoD base gets updated (wounded [type] [severity] [date and location] [consequenses]) but after their quick release back to the front (usually, if the wound is so minor, just like what that militia fighter you showed has told about), they kinda disappear, because they are not accounted as WIA in the documents that get passed into the higher command. This allows to accomplish two goals at the same time - treat a real wounded soldier and make him fully able to fight again, and also lower the casualties numbers. The logic being - "that guy got his arm scratched by flying concrete, he doesn't even have real scars after we cleaned him, how the fuck does that account as a casualty if right next to him we have a guy that lost half his face so that we see his brain - THAT is a casualty". I suppose the same story is even more present on the Ukrainian side, as they fall under more extensive arty fire in fortified positions that allow to stabilize and evacuate the screamers more easily, the figure can be as high as 10 to 1. 2) The Wagner PMC casualties aren't really as high as we could have probably thought, because they didn't come to extensive use before, basically, the "flower of Popasnaya" has started blooming. They were, of course, fighting in many places, but before the storming of the Uglegorsk power plant I barely heard stories and reports of an entire operation being carried out primarily by the musicians. So I suppose their losses are higher nowadays than they were ever throughout the war, and it's now that they start to stack up. And also there's a nuance about the ZK (prisoner composed units). There were many accounts of them being shot for trying to marauder settlements or mistreat civilians. And usually these count aren't even recorded as KIA. The commander just sends a report that he needs unit resupply, and when someone asks, he says "well, you know how it goes", and everybody understands. The hierarchy of Wagner is much more fluid and adaptive than the MoD, so they can easily get away with that. 3) The separated accounting of combat losses between RF and the Republics ended on 4th of October when we accepted them as full-on Russian regions, the LPR and DPR militias are now being reorganized to be integrated into the MoD structure. Donetsk and Lugansk may keep their own accounts just as their own feat, but nowadays all their losses are added to the total RF losses in the war. 4) A lot of wounded veteran warriors are indeed being used as trainers for not only the mobilised personell, but for the conscripts. The very unhealthy and chaotic experience of the mobilization lead to immediate change in military comissariates' (and the MoD in general) leadership across all levels, and veterans are gladly accepted everywhere. For example, in my comissariate I was always greeted by an older woman that accounted my papers and my profile. As I came there during the medical comission during the draft period a week ago (you have to do that every draft season to make sure your health is in check), instead of her there was a guy in probably his late 20's with an eyepatch and a burned face

  179. 5:13 The Dutch guy is not part of the Waffen SS. The info you found is incorrect about him being member of the SSin the movie. Several Dutchmen also had joined other German units. Some Dutchmen prefered other units as the SS. So historical probable. What detail is overlooked that when he is burying the mine next to him is the American clone of the German folding shovel. 16:54 This glider scene is based on an actual glider. Staff -Sgt Black who crash landed in that area on the second day. He transported a jeep and a trailer and the few men who manned the jeep and a Dutch commando who was attached as a interpreter. The uniforms are correct. Apart that the gliderpilots normaly would have worn a wing above the left pocket. And the men with the helmets all have webbing chinstraps, but most would have helmets with black leather chinstraps. 21:14 that aircraft is not an Albemarle.(were used on the first day), its actually an Handley Page Halifax (a bomber). Bombers were used to tow glider. But these units were trained for airborne force units. Apart from towing gliders they also could drop paratroops and many also did special weapon drops for resistance groups. 27:26 The vehicles look like American White M3 scout cars, also used by Canadians and British and a (rare!) Canadian Otter scoutcar. 32:40 In a British infantry section 44-45 of 10 men the section commander most of the time a corporal would carry a sten. It would also contain a 3 man bren group containing 1 Bren gunner with a leader and no 2 gunner /helper In the ten men section 8 would carry an enfield rifle. In this film they carry the wrong (older) type No1 MKIII enfield should be the no4 enfield. 46:07 I also see a distict lack of the use of handgrenades. if your gonna charge first throw a load of grenades.

  467. First of all, he didn't inspire all troops through all ranks, mostly only the common soldiers and low ranks. Many officers, in his staff and others, criticized Rommel already during the Battle of France for his reckless maneuvers. Secondly, you say "...and in january 1941 he was back at his position at Al Agheila. This is were i have to introduce Rommels greatest victory..." and suddenly we are back at Tobruk and the Battle of Gazala. That just seems like a big gap. And why does the background look like a bad mobile WW2 game from 3:24 to 3:36, your animations later on look so much better. There is still a huge debate on if Rommel is a military genius or just a lucky daredevil. Many of his maneuvers were good opportunites, but if one single move would not be as planned, it would have risked so many german and later also italian lifes and bring the whole war at risk. Like you said, he lost the battle of north africa because of his behavior, but on the other side his maneuvers won the the axis the battle of france or at least shortened the campaign for many months or even years. And if he would have full control over the panzers in france 1944, maybe he could have won the battle of normandy. Many historians and generals see the split control of the axis panzers by Rundstedt and Rommel as one of the leading failures on the german side during the battle. Also commander does stand for "Leader of a military unit", doesn't matter if of a squad, platoon, division or army group... So you said for yourself that he was brilliant on division level but not in higher positions. So he still could be the best commander of WW2! He might "just" be the best division commander of WW2. Maybe define commander a bit more or change the title a little. Btw all in all, i liked the video! It was good... you are one of the the only persons i know who don't see Rommel as the big hero. A good analysis, maybe too superficial BUT i know you are young, you are new to youtube and have still a lot to learn, so just keep on the hustle and you will be a great historian someday. People like you, energetic from such a young age, will go big places! I will watch your career with big interest;)

  499. Congrats on another great analytical feat. You are correct, definitely need more details though so I'm looking forward to the next video. Ok, you asked for information that we might have to be posted in the comments. First, my fiancé is a Ukrainian Doctor of pediatric surgery who remained in Kharkiv to help her pre-war patients and any children injured in the war and to help her country in time of war. For weeks, she constantly complained about the non-stop artillery shelling of Kharkiv and the damage it was doing. For the past two days, she was very happy that that the Russian shelling had stopped and could no longer be heard. The people of Kharkiv were told that the Russians were retreating from Kharkiv and that, once again, a Ukrainian victory was at hand. When we talked tonight, she was very upset because shelling in the vicinity of Kharkiv by the Russians had commenced again and was non-stop and there has been no information regarding the situation around Kharkiv. Now these are my words and not hers, Russians have been very good at Signal Intelligence, and I suspect they had wind of the Kharkiv Counter Offensive and set up a limited defense in depth. This would allow the Russians to use their trained scouts to harass and slow down the attackers, identify the attacking units, calculate the Ukrainian attacking combat power, and then launch a counter-counterattack with the appropriate power of mobile forces with supporting resources to defeat the Ukrainians. As it stands, I think the only thing we can conclude is that while Ukraine gained territory, they paid for it in bloody casualties. Second point and I apologize for the length of this comment, some interesting news tonight on The Dive with Jackson Hinkle. Elements of 115th Ukraine Regiment in Donbass are refusing to engage in combat operations with the Russians and the two videos these units posted online say they are laying down their weapons and leaving Donbass for detailed reasons that basically amount to the situation is hopeless, and they will no longer allow themselves to be senselessly slaughtered. In addition, Ukraine Punitive Battalions were reported to have blown up a major dam that was used as a main crossing point to flood the Severskyi Donets River and are preventing 1,000s of Ukraine troops from retreating out of the Donbass region. Hinkle was of the opinion that Azovstal complex surrender was done to draw attention away from the fact that Ukraine forces are refusing to engage in combat operations with the Russians and an attempt to bolster the morale of and serve as a selfless example for Ukraine forces to fight on with Russia. Hope you find this information helpful and keep up the good work.

  700. Can you PLEASE make at least 2 videos from these topics... (1) How modern war assaults are carried out .... specifically russians and ukrainians in this nato russia proxy war on the offense taking trenches, fields, treelines, forests, hills, quarries, towns, cities, villages, etc. Different types of terrain and combat settings. What is the main driving effort and different units involved (even down to details of different infantry squads and which ones are most effective during storming), how advances and sweeps are actually made, how the enemy retreats and advancing units are made sure of that, etc. From A to Z.... preparation to combing and securing taken territory. Would be very interesting to see this from you! (2) We need a followup to chasov yar as well as to the future targets: siversk, kupyansk, izyum, lyman, toretsk, konstantinovka, pokrovsk, kurakhovo. Specifically, how do you think each advance will happen in what stages and utilizing how many men etc I would really like to see Chasiv Yar 2.0 past the canal breakthroughs, and how do you think Siversk offensive will go (which main direction of attack, S to N or from Belgorovka?) (3) A followup to the kharkov diversion attack now that Ukraine has stabilised the front, if you think a second diversion front will be opened in sumy/chernihov to further bleed the reserves from other fronts (do you think Ukraine can stretch and stabilize a sumy front, or are they at the limit of strategic reserves?), how many units you think Russia actually has in the North group (estimates as high as 200k are they true or false?), and how much it is really recruiting monthly and deploying over x months to the front. And also, if an actual kharkov offensive would happen, how would it go and how many men would Russia need? Love your videos, keep it up and give us more frequent ones please! You are the best by a mile
