  3. Eisenhower was a very smart leader. He approved Market Garden because he knew if it failed, Monty was done politically and stuffed into a corner but if it succeeded, Eisenhower could take credit for the success. It was a win-win for Eisenhower.

  4. It seems to go against the early philosophy of the German army that gave its junior officers latitude for tactics that achieved goals rather than strictly following orders.

  5. It's ironic that in the beginning of the video, you were describing the things your buddy was saying about the leftists because the leftists say the same exact things about people on the right. Once again proving that people are the same no matter where you go. And, there are good people and bad people everywhere!

  6. In the 1930's, Germany led the world in chemical development, engineering, electronics, optics and heavy manufacturing.

  7. So, if Germany wasn't that technically advanced of the allies in WWII, then why was there a scramble to grab all the top German scientists, mathematicians and researchers by the US and the USSR? Also, Japan had the Zero at the beginning of the war. They just didn't bother to upgrade it.

  8. Slaughterhouse Five.

  9. A narrow front strategy is exactly what the Germans wanted because the Germans were so good at combining forces needed in certain areas at certain times. They would have blunted any allied effort in one area only. Eisenhower was aware of German tactical strengths so the key was to keep the Germans stretched out and off balance.

  17. The Nazis were nothing more than bullies and sadists and in the end cowards.

  18. Big deal. You don't need AI to translate Hitler's speeches into German.

  19. @11:29 The Nazi explaining why he kills children reminds me of a couple of things. One is the eastern European philosophy of revenge where they kill you and your entire family less one of the children grows up and comes to kill you. The other was the philosophy towards Indians in the late 19th century in America where Indian children were considered the seeds of the next generation and needed to be eradicated also. Pretty damning stuff of civilization.

  20. Shrek was a Nazi? Who knew?? Then what does that make Donkey???

  21. @38:42 Which is exactly why Drumpf is now being empowered. Instead of ignoring him, the media is keeping the spotlight on Drumpf and that is exactly what he wants and needs.

  22. Greenshirts, blueshirts, brownshirts and blackshirts. No wonder they couldn't unite. 😂

  23. YouTube censorship: Don't they know that's like telling a teenager that they can't do something. It only makes them to find out about it that much more?

  24. First of all, Germany didn't have much of a surface navy. 2- British navy would have blown any German supply and support ships out of the water. 3- German supply chain was stretched as it was at the time. 4- Germany wasn't experienced enough in amphibious landings.

  25. Better question would why didn't the Germans destroy the oil fields when they realized they could not take them?

  26. They weren't Nazis, they were National Socialist Workers. Much different name for the German people.

  28. You forgot tulip bulbs in the seventeenth century. They were even traded on the mercantile exchange.

  29. @14:54 And inflation is not just confined to the communists. Here in the US we're seeing the highest inflation in 40 years. It's because of the governments trillion dollar spending program. They're trying to blame it on everything from rising energy prices to the supply chain delays when in fact it's the governments fault for going on a spending spree.

  30. I remember reading somewhere that they performed autopsies on German soldiers that died in Stalingrad. They found that their internal organs were shrunken indicating starvation.

  31. @29:45 Funny, that's the same philosophy of Russia, that if an area is made up of Russians, then it's part of Russia. Something about dicktators.

  32. I could have done with less of the kid's screaming and wimpering but the movie did show some of the horrors that happened on the Eastern front.

  33. Question: Could Paulus have abandoned Stalingrad before encirclement? Answer: No, Hitler wouldn't let it happen.

  34. That's too bad about your map maker. I love maps and they're very informative.

  35. It's really messed up that to produce an informational or intelligent video is so much work and these goblins that sit in front of a cheap video camera and describe their favorite hair color and how to paint fingernails and get millions of views is disgusting.

  36. People don't understand that to put out a video is a lot of work. To run a channel and make a living doing it, is a full time job!

  39. One thing about movies, they're movies. By nature they are various shades of accurate to historical facts and all take artistic license to one degree or another. With that said, it's the essence of the movie and what it's trying to portray that is important. "Pearl Harbor", a total disaster of a movie and an insult to anyone who was there. "Come and See", an inspirational movie to make you want to never see another war.

  41. Ideobabble. In other words "Doublespeak".

  42. The Germans came soooooooo close to taking over the entire city of Stalingrad. They were so focused on taking the city that they lost sight of the big picture and the build up on their flanks.

  43. @7:13 "In reality, they're a bunch of different groups all bounded together". That's the true definition of fascism.

  44. It's funny that TIK says he's overwhelmed by Stalingrad meanwhile there's a whole bookcase of books sitting behind him on the subject, even four thick books by the same author. The point is that Stalingrad is one of those subjects that there is a plethora of information and can easily overwhelm the most eager researcher. Take a break my friend.

  46. Hitler was a fascist. Fuck YouTube. Oh, wait, gotta go, there's a knock on my front door.

  47. @1:40 He's lending the gold coins. Jews are portrayed as the bankers of the world and thus controlling the economies. Not sure what is in his other hand. It looks like a microphone, although I know it isn't.
