  1. Here before Agicnourt was changed
    712
  2. British command: “we shouldn’t give up so much land early!” Japan: takes a lot of land early
    319
  3. Churchill throughout his life: “it’s a citadel!” Everyone to Churchill: “you keep using that word, I don’t think you know what that word means”
    297
  4. “It’s safe to say the early part of the Second World War didn’t go well for the British empire or her allies.” That’s a British level understatement
    236
  5. They still did post 1942, but what do you do against dozens of carriers? Night fight and die
    147
  6. As said the ship shouldn’t have been so mortally threatened on paper, but to assume any submarine is a lone submarine is asking for trouble
    115
  7. Not even my girlfriend gives me blue balls as much as Historigraph saying “we’ll be covering next time”
    103
  8. “In a question of ‘conspiracy or incompetence’ history shows incompetence is the most likely answer”
    84
  9. The Barb gave the convoy a Barber cut I’ll see myself out
    43
  10. Because what internet memes would have you believe are hardly true, the Japanese weren’t bad at logistics, as their ability to conquer half of China in 18 months would show, in 1944 as they’re getting butt fucked Here they’re not butt fucked, and in their element, the ocean
    34
  11. The charge for SE Asian independence was the Japanese putting natives in charge of lands they conquered from imperials
    32
  12. “What? WHERE ARE YOUR BALLS, YOUR MAJESTY?!”
    30
  13. Exocet: killing more French Allies than the eastern bloc
    26
  14.  @jimdandy2024  who asked? It’s a joke dude
    23
  15. Anyone who says that goofy stuff, just tell them how much food was sent…and then remind them how Soviets starved constantly during the war (there were even famines post war)
    20
  16. Who said he did? It was let them eat Java for free or fight, in war one must contest the superior enemy, regardless
    18
  17. Have to die to get it mostly, sucks to be in the British armed forces
    18
  18.  @aleembaksh1880  it is over simplified, there were plenty of axis victories dependent on power, not speed You can’t call Dubno fucking speed, or the landings in northern Malaya, or the operation Ichigo
    18
  19. Never knew the details on this
    14
  20. Dries Fosseprez -Von Spee
    14
  21. Imagine if the Germans didn’t use a piece of shit like the enigma machine, oof
    14
  22. Well yeah, who was first is irrelevant It’s who uses lots of them successfully who’s remembered You tell me which is more popular; the panzer or the landship
    12
  23. Imagine trusting the Soviets Biggest mistake
    11
  24. “Hey cap’?” “Yes?” “Can we invade the enemy?” “Ugh fine”
    11
  25. Ivan Trapić certainly, but they weren’t on the ship, and we don’t know what the crew was thinking, to go down with honor? To not be remembered as the defeated sailors they were? To defy the Germans, who’d been challenging their power for decades? We will never know
    10
  26. The Americans have plans against almost every nation that has some form of a military, shit the Americans have alien invasion plans
    10
  27. Megas Pantelos the Luftwaffe wasn’t overseeing army group A in any significant way during the opening as per the plan to convince the allies that army group B was the major offensive
    9
  28. Germans: We’re crossing British: No Germans: we weren’t asking
    8
  29. “Every military said they’ll fight to the last man and bullet, only the Japanese actually did it.”
    8
  30. I wish we had a recording of a response: “Mr President, is that food?”
    8
  31. What’s with trash leaders and demanding every inch to be held to the last? No wonder the British needed america and Russia to do everything
    8
  32.  @matthewblairrains6032  …industry is more than merchant ship building…if you didn’t know that
    7
  33. What a joke Yes the lack of anti tank equipment wasn’t why the tanks destroyed everything it was irrelevant of course
    6
  34.  @huiyinghong3073  …they did…
    6
  35. It’s not the oceans it’s the lack of foreign navies being able to successfully cross and invade, ask the Japanese how the pacific worked out against the hurt US navy
    6
  36.  @matthiaseckert4022  “no one goes to war looking for a fair fight”
    5
  37.  @Panzermeister36  Arkansas came before Kansas!

  38. “Surrender is not an option”
    5
  39. It’s always interesting reading Russian history as a Russo-Ukrainian-Georgian (my family immigrated prior to the Great War, but I’m not sure exactly when)
    5
  40. Angela Hsiao hardly, to be unprepared for war is encouraging if anything, all you need then is one power hungry entity to prey upon the unready, Cough China The United States alone have war plans for some of the most ridiculous scenarios from NATO imploding into a sorta civil war between them to alien invasions
    5
  41.  William Dryden  pointless? They won the war dummy
    5
  42. LOL Yeah dude let’s just attack a fortified line head on! What could possibly go wrong?! How stupid
    5
  43.  @oddballsok  is that how a Japanese battalion routed an allied division, multiple times?
    5
  44. That opens a can of worms, there weren’t many torpedoes available in the inventories anyway, had the faults been identified and attempts to replace them, ammo would’ve been even more scarce.
    5
  45. I mean they did launch a war against south Vietnam…
    4
  46. In fairness looking at the Luftwaffe in the outbreak of the war it’s hard to argue they weren’t the strongest Air Force in the world, their air superiority would be unchallenged everywhere except for the British isles until mid to late 1942, their overconfidence is more a statement of hindsight i say, knowing what happens next
    4
  47. Historigraph: snorts a line Historigraph: no way the viewers would expect ANOTHER naval video Historigraph: snorts another line Historigraph: “what if like, I mapped every movement between Taranto and Alexandria? Maybe I should do it at 2am to immerse myself”
    4
  48. Why?
    4
  49. The most mispronounced battle in human history Dien Bien Phu, or something
    4
  50.  @ld8341  pffffff hahahahahaha, this dude really just said “they lost all those wars despite having all the stuff even tho they’re not total wars and thus all the stuff isn’t used” Regardless, uh, Uncle Sam’s boats killed more Uboats than the British, despite being at war for 2 years less! And they had to cover for the British occupying Greenland and Iceland because they couldn’t afford that and the fight in Africa! Fucking pathetic
    4
  51. What could possibly be more important than preventing the starvation of Britain and the transport of millions of Americans to the North Africa and European theatres?
    4
  52.  @gailbirchall2163  so, the guys who did the fighting but not the guys who planned the fighting? Really?
    4
  53. For Argentina, ‘‘twas a shame their salvage crew ruined the best chance Argentina had for capturing the island, had they waited only a few more months the British would’ve been exhausted from nato exercises and couldn’t respond so quickly
    4
  54.  @wingedvictory8694  whataboutism isn’t an argument
    4
  55. Literally what good could possibly have come from Germany winning?
    4

    3
  57. Ok dude when I made the fireteam joke on the Dien Bien Phu video I didn’t think you’d actually do it one day Oh how naive I was
    3
  58. Not true, had the French not sent 30 fucking divisions, a quarter of the French army, to the Netherlands is a plan that would never have worked, they’dve been fine
    3
  59. USA and more importantly its pacifists would be wise to watch the first 20m very closely

  62. I mean Giáp was battle hardened too and trained as professionally as they could be, with better supply
    3
  63. “Germans considered counterattacking to be a core part of their defensive doctrine with good reason, if you can counter attack you can regain control of the fight”
    3
  64. Well no it was agreed by the us to the British proposal of “Germany first” or “Europe first” grand strategy, main comment makes it sound like the British agreed to the american suggestion
    3
  65. Tim Smith Mayhaps
    3
  66. More like it illustrates how this entire war…wasn’t a fair fight, in the words of Karl Donitz: “The enemy knows all of our secrets, and we know none of his.” The British remain pathetic
    3
  67. God you people are weird “omg like imagine being subhuman filth who likes the shooty shooty bang bang I want to hear about the oiler that sailed for weeks staring at water more plz because I’m not some brainlet who needs bright lights” Always the anime profile pictures too, coincidentally…
    3
  68. Is there a point to fighting to the death? In the East Indies…no, there was no point
    3
  69.  @asafoster7954  ‘socialism’ and ‘the free market’ are antonymous
    3
  70. Seems pretty obvious the British thought it wasn’t allowed, while the Argentinians expected it, why the discussion must go any further is beyond me
    3
  71. That war story was so silly, it should’ve been more alike the operation Gunnerside, stealth only or something
    3
  72. Uh, what? The British were superior? Maybe in starting numbers, until you remember that owning so much territory meant you dispersed across the world, and of course the US industry would curbstomp britains, just like it curbstomped japans Don’t get into an industrial war with America, they’ll never lose
    3
  73. This comment section will be more inflamed than the Jungles of Indochina
    3
  74. Freedom always saves the day
    3
  75. Britain: “we have 80,000 men, you have 26,000, go away” Japan: “I missed the part where I asked”
    3
  76. LazyRay not to be rude but every single modern problem that isn’t china’s/communists fault is Britain’s fault, most notably Africa and the Middle East

  101. Never let your populace be disarmed
    2
  102.  @michimatsch5862 wrong, historians do not agree on that And the more and more data we get the more the ‘lend lease didn’t matter!’ Fails Unless you’re gonna seriously argue the starving Soviets would be fine losing 60% of their food supply
    2
  103.  @Neil-yg5gm  lol ‘all alone’ just half the planet with unofficial help from the USA
    2
  104. @JZ's Best Friend also that makes 0 fucking sense Recon isn’t ‘secrets’, so whoever alleges that either needs some context or a lot of proof Especially when it’s in 1943, the year the uboats got oof’d hard, because….they knew their secrets yes thank you good job
    2
  105.  @ld8341  https://youtu.be/-EJ17skCVG4 I did, of 771 total boat losses, some 230 were to the British Which is wheeze worthy as the British came to the Americans on their knees begging for any and all war equipment possible including ships, which we gave them, so once could argue that they only got x kill with the lend lease boat because we gave them that boat Fuck the Japanese made more ships than they did, they would’ve been toast
    2
  106. Doubtful, north Vietnam was not and would never be invaded by ground forces during the American phase, and the French had…less than a corps sized deployment. He had it pretty easy compared to basically any other commander, not many can have the same generosity of no ground forces threatening your territory
    2
  107. @ I don’t care what facts you choose to ignore, I’m using facts and evidence. The French Air Force was out classed and out numbered And to say they had no anti air is astoundingly stupid
    2
  108. 35627819028353729-4984653 no, there’d be no escorts As Donitz opined after the war “had I 300 uboats in 1939 I would’ve destroyed the Royal Navy” but they made some pocket battleships that got destroyed near instantly
    2
  109.  @ennui9745  is that why all the revolts came after the Japanese? Did you miss that part? I mean your unnamed nation (telling) can have a national narrative, that’s fine, doesn’t mean it’s the whole story
    2
  110. PIA needs a catchier name
    2
  111.  @Dave5843-d9m  somewhat, it’s more so no one told anyone involved that it was going to happen until 24 hours before the off

  113. Don’t submit to authoritarians And by the way all socialists and communists are authoritarian
    2
  114.  @rikk319  sorry tell me where the USSR, GDR, Madagascar, Cuba, PRC, DPRK, DRC, Vietnam, Poland, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria are/were not authoritarian? And what capitalist nation is? Capitalism by its nature demands the least possible interference by government to function properly
    2
  115.  @rikk319  friendly reminder politicians aren’t economic systems, it’s not ‘authoritarian capitalism’ for politicians to have lobbyists, that’s not capitalism at all, there’s no transaction, it’s politics This is different from command economies because the politics is the economy

  122. You shouldn’t be shocked, there’s no such thing as honorable british

  123. For what it’s worth it wasn’t because Malaya was expendable, it was simply overextended fingers rather than a closed fist, that were snapped off by the enemy
    2
  124. Hey a new colored faction
    2
  125. Yes Their independence Wars against the native Americans (all of them) Morocco Algeria Libya Spain Germany x2 Italy Japan Korean War (yes, the objective was to liberate South Korea, can’t wait for you to ignore all of the above to hyper focus on this) Iraq x2 Afghanistan 2001 (the Afghan government/military isn’t the US) Grenada Panama Iran That’s just off the top of my head
    2
  126.  @nicolas.p331  “Only justice” when the Austrians had every right to declare war on Serbia for their role in the assassination of their royalty
    2
  127. If you want to see it again, vote for pacifist politicians and just wait with the popcorn As we’ve seen what happens
    2
  128. Disgustingly accurate
    2
  129. So anyway about that Second World War we were talking about
    2
  130. Considering the competency of every Italian leader, pretty much, the Italians wouldve been better off taking a “fuck the chain of command” approach to their ‘operations’ and just ignore the higher ups
    2
  131. unga bunga in fairness thats how the last civil war went, Democrats said “we’re gonna keep blacks enslaved” then the republicans said “nah you’re releasing them or we burn down your faux nation”
    2
  132. Adam cocker what are they supposed to do, from a legal perspective? There needs to be sufficient reason to have the populace support the war, and it’s not like people would be easy willing going into a war people feared would happen for 50 years and many felt they had successfully avoided by 1991

    1
  151. @ Ok so you’re just a pathological liar then, that or you know nothing The war started because the north invaded the south just like in Korea Better? Is that simple enough for you? Do you say that goofy argument about Korea too?
    1
  152. @ why did the North Koreans invade the South Koreans? Genuine question do you simp for commie propaganda? “See they invaded and stuff but it’s cool because they were mad they…agreed to a treaty, so they invaded because they agreed to the treaty” Galaxy brain, please stop talking
    1
  153. @ no it didn’t, don’t use 1950s communist propaganda as sources
    1
  154. Should’ve mentioned the food support to Russians, starvation was rampant historically but with even 3/4s of the lend leased food? Oh no
    1
  155. Get a frag in their tracks or engine area, not an easy feat but in combat there are no simple tasks, at least jungle fighting is up close and personal for such attacks

    1
  157. Oh trust me guy it wasn’t just 1939-1941 The war ended with British blunders, no one is immune from blunders but it just so happened that neither the Soviets nor Americans happened to make these blunders after 1943, very odd
    1
  158. No, they couldn’t, in the time it took an executive order to reach the front, to attack, the Germans could cross ten km

  163. What are the six U boats that were lost? I watch Military History Visualized and his videos that reference Weserbung naval losses only account for four Uboats, I believe the U-1 U-50 U-64 and one more I forget
    1
  164. I agree, what’s the point?
    1
  165. Uh, the British did win though, because they played the game…like…their naval blockade literally starved the central powers into submission

  167. Hey more British war crimes! Neat
    1
  168. Churchill was a dolt, and only became leader cuz no one else wanted to be Britain was unfortunate to have him live through his conflicts he was apart of
    1
  169.  @arfurwitt6221  “strength, courage, and leadership” someone knows not the history of Churchill, as his ‘leadership’ allowed Norway to fall, just for one of many examples But it’s another case of cock sucking, as Britain ‘stood alone’ with like half the worlds population under their thumb, but I get it, you have your head buried so far in the sand it’s popping up in the UK right now, so I won’t bother doing anything more than just telling you you’re a victim of propaganda
    1
  170.  @davidjma7226  no one cares
    1
  171.  Kani usa  no, it was entirely the fault of Churchill, who had even demanded that the city be torched to ruins before surrender, good grief hero worship should be a crime
    1
  172. Irrelevant, torpedo availability (you know those logistics you internet history buffs love to jerk over) meant subs were low on ammo for the first three years

  173. Yamashita got himself a pedo stache

  174. This is quite the new lens to put the naval war in, I wonder what the equivalent numbers for the Japanese would be, if the German effort was this monstrous to the Americans who have almost a continent’s worth of resources

  179. Because have you seen what lack of strength does? Do you know about any form of political rivalry? The obvious nature of culture clashes? The Muslims hate the west for cultural reasons, the North Koreans because of propaganda, the Chinese because the government wants to own the world Speak softly, and carry a big stick

  189.  @Neil-yg5gm  the “so what” is the navy would be doing fuck all if it wasn’t fighting the Japanese except standing around in the Med Oh wait the med couldn’t support the entire navy
    1
  190.  @Neil-yg5gm  “an invasion of Britain” in 1942?! XDDDDDDD My guy, you have your dates wrong, your baseline is broken, and uh, the East Indies are islands, if they were able to do anything against the Japanese except die, they could starve the enemy out on the islands with their navy, like the Americans did, too bad they weren’t good enough to do any of that

  191.  @Neil-yg5gm  YOU WOT Paragraph 1: strawman, no one said fuck all of that jackass 2. Battleships and carriers don’t do good escorting against subs, and there wasn’t a shortage of such ships anyway, especially after the USA was passing them out like candy for free Paragraph 3 has to be the dumbest thing in existence, in 1942 the Soviet Union was kinda facing an existential threat of the enemy cutting the Volgograd gap, and they responded to such attempts by shooting them, what the hell was Britain doing? Running from Rommel in Africa waiting for enough American troops and equipment to get there? Yes

  195.  @ld8341  so uh yeah, america didn’t stuff any part of anything

  196.  @ld8341  also, yeah, Greenland and Iceland were occupied by USMC, cuz the British couldn’t handle it Jokes

  198.  @huyhoangtahuu9733 manstein overrated?! LOL, as if you could ever say the guy who orchestrated the plan to crush France was overrated

  199. @ man that’s a lot of expense for a failed offensive Were it not for the media the tet offensive would’ve had literally 0 success
    1
  200. @ they didn’t plan on that happening tho Lmfao tho ‘destroying a corps sized element is not impressive’ you people really are something else
    1
  201. @ hey look! Nonsense! The French did send all their available planes to destroy 1st Panzer’s bridgehead, lost about half their aircraft The French also didn’t give ‘no autonomy’ to their commanders
    1
  202. @ no air cover or air defense? Yeah you’re just talking nonsense 800 fighter sorties and 7 flak battalions for one bridgehead defense…against 250 bombers with 150 fighter sorties French aircraft couldn’t do anything
    1
  203. Eh would’ve been better if 20-40 Uboats or whatever it’s equivalent in Uboat would be were made instead
    1
  204. h.p. peti what’s that mean?
    1
  205. They did
    1
  206. This doesn’t track, how could 2 division sized elements not be able to collapse a besieged starving cauldron which was under fire control? Also Vietnamese could and did bring up replacements
    1
  207.  @shriramvenu  uh, yeah, but they used natives as their puppets which did 2 things One it showed the colonial powers weren’t capable of protecting them, and two that they could govern themselves
    1
  208.  @ennui9745  slavish admiration? What admiration period? What does this even mean? Slaves don’t adore their masters (unless you did). I’m not giving my own view on anything these are just facts
    1
  209.  @ennui9745  I don’t have any admiration for imperial Japan, you idiot, let alone ‘slavish’ still waiting for an explanation of that term I think you’re just offended judging by your other comment that I’ve inadvertently upset you by, seemingly, disrespecting your national pride Grow up please
    1
  210. Well yeah, but the Scharnhorsts aren’t battleships, they’re battlecruisers really
    1
  211.  @glorifiedcouch648  accuracy is important, I didn’t say anything about anything, just calling them battleships isn’t really correct
    1
  212.  @julianmhall  fair, morons love being morons and love the internet because of the anonymity over it, they wouldn’t say 95% of their stuff in public as the public belittlement would be quite hilarious
    1
  213. Of course not, the Chinese and Japanese are the main ways to find information for most of it, imperial Japan ceased to exist and the Chinese language is hard, and of course suffers the fate of being under a virulent anti western communist state, meaning there are lots of narratives that must be held, and the archives are sealed toward 99.9999999% of people

  217.  @Strella-134 but it wasn’t, it was the order from the top that got it destroyed, but let everyone here enjoy their ‘I’m so smart for repeating maxims’
    1
  218. @ rewatch the video, since you obviously didn’t do that much ‘Um acktually you didn’t provide evidence’ yeah I made the mistake of assuming you watched the video instead of leaving it half open to comment platitudes to sound smart and stroke your own ego (Hint it’s the part where they order the elevator patched trapping gas fumes, and then the part where they ordered all doors and hatches open to spread the fumes, since you missed that)
    1
  219. @ No it’s an incompetent higher up giving an order, you moron, the crew did as they were told
    1
  220. @ Literally 0 people think ‘the top guy’ when you say ‘crew’, because that’s not what crew means Also the admiral isn’t a part of the crew of a ship to begin with Jesus Christ there’s even crew quarters and captain’s quarters A good effort

    1
  225. I wouldn’t take that approach considering that implicitly makes you a Nazi sympathizer, since they were outnumbered from day 1 Not accusing, just saying you need to refine that view a bit more If it’s any consolation whichever side of this particular conflict you support you’re supporting some of history’s worst war criminals, from the Soviets to the Nazis to the Chinese, whichever side you wanna pick
    1
  226.  @JohnSmith-qb9ex  okay, seems pretty academic to the tens of millions of Russian civilians and POWs that were murdered also the Waffen SS numbered what 8 million? That’s 10% of the German population or so, not everyone was a Nazi but everyone worked for them Also are you missing the whole the entire war was started by war criminals? Like, everyone worked for their governments, which very few (if any, maybe the Canadians) were clean, and none of the ones who started the war were clean The Germans? Hopefully I don’t need to say more The Soviets? Absolutely not The Japanese? Fuck no The Chinese communists? Nah The Chinese nationalists? Nah^2 The British? Nope The French? Ehhh they didn’t last long enough to matter The rest didn’t start any conflict or were puppets

  227.  @yaki_ebiko  I understand the sarcasm but did you have to pick the stupidest sarcasm available? “Did anyone respond to you.” I assume you have eyes as well as your strange superiority complex

  228.  @RTORC78  G4 is pointless if G3 fails, in fact it’s the opposite, it literally feeds the enemy all your fantastic logistics and supplies to them, as shown in hundreds of wars

  229.  @gailbirchall2163  just ignore that the guys up top are the ones making the plans, whatever

  230.  @gailbirchall2163  you’re completely unreasonable aren’t you? Would’ve helped if one of those type 42s didn’t get itself sunk being careless…

  233. Wait until you realize there literally were no other torpedoes besides those But hey! Ignore those details because funny meme on Internet forums
    1
  234. @ okay, let’s snap our fingers and make that reality in some reasonable realistic way that isn’t your fanfic of history What do you do? Money isn’t going to torpedo production it’s going to shipbuilding, so even if in 1938 (because Great Depression) they test it, you only get 1whole year of fixed production as it took years even in war time emergency to fix the problems it had So you’re still stuck with 90% of inventory being old stuff, nothing practical changes
    1
  235. @ …yeah because money wasn’t coming quick to the us military Do you need a history lesson on the funding woes of the US armed forces between 1919-1938?
    1
  236. Tell that to the French army
    1
  237. Because morons grow too soft and history is being used to blame the west for everything bad, somehow
    1
  238.  @wingedvictory8694  yes because random civilians who never served are definitely responsible and should be raped and pillaged Because that makes sense, besides Russians were notorious for this long before the Germans invaded
    1
  239.  @asafoster7954  fucking where? Obviously not the USSR, the most prominent state
    1
  240.  @asafoster7954  it’s a petro state with tiny population (and a massive suicide rate mind), it’s amazing how ‘it works so well’ and yet no one near it does anything similar, meanwhile Germany is the fourth largest economy on the planet without such nonsense

  241.  @DiazeDan  ok Lee Oswald

  242.  @andro7862  ignoring fascist Italy being capitalist, which is hilariously braindead Tell me where what I said was braindead? I said “don’t submit to authoritarians and a side note all communist and socialist places are authoritarian” it’s like “don’t eat poisonous berries and oh yeah these and those berries are always poisonous” Like…no one said capitalists can’t be authoritarian, you’re just shoving words in other’s mouths, bit messed up
    1
  243.  @rikk319  fascism isn’t capitalism by its very definitions, capitalism needs an economy that isn’t cock shoved by the government, the fascists have a tendency to do just that
    1
  244. Oh Sir Roger Keyes, if you did that you’d see America go from 27 armored ships to 270, like we did 20 years later I hope you were alive to witness America turn Britain into a sideshow just to understand how stupid that statement is, in hindsight of course
    1
  245. It’s the soviet military Guys remind me of that Venezuelan propaganda video to scare the US marines “They scream with motivation but move at a snails pace” They’re fucking trash tier needed western allies to give them fucking uniforms for their army xD

  246.  @mikkel066h  no, police aren’t trained in combined arms and/or offensive operations against enemy spearheads with artillery and air support among other things Be a pretty shit Detroit^10 city to need that

  247. Gensoul should’ve agreed to the relocation and then shot these war criminals, I await the day, if it ever comes, where Churchill is remembered as the incompetent asshole he was, and not this ‘war hero’ when he was directly in charge of every failure in the early war, thank fuck for American industry and the Soviets reluctance to capitulate I guess
    1
  248. Katyusha I don’t know I grew up during the time when the whole “Nazis lost cuz winter” started dying off, truth will win out though eventually Friendly reminder Churchill is both the reason Norway got invaded successfully and the reason it was undertaken anyway, not to say the Germans never would’ve, but it is a direct result of Churchill that it happened so quickly
    1
  249. Katyusha First lord of the admiralty winston Churchill was the man who threw out plan R4, the legit plan for countering a German invasion of Norway Because a fleet with destroyers was going to breakout into the Atlantic, surely, destroyers You can actually just watch the Weserbung video on this channel to see how that happened, and it was the direct order of Churchill, not chamberlain, to violate Norwegian neutrality and engage in conflict on their territory, it’s Norway’s decision what is or isn’t in its waters, but the British in classic British fashion said “nah I don’t think so” as they’ve done for a long time Besides I never said chamberlain was good

  251. Shame, this hold by the Budapest garrison and the fortress call by Mr Mustache actually saved a good part of Central Europe from soviet occupation

  252. ‘Most people’s dads were drafted or at risk for drafted’ You’ve said this for no other reason than to try to make it sound worse, 15,000 men were drafted during the Vietnam war, that’s it

  260.  @zylnexxd842  lol, looking at the losses inflicted by the US vs British to those two one wonders how they achieved so much less despite having 3 years head start
    1
  261. I wonder what would be said of the Imperial Admiralty if they knew of the war that would follow, and the potential that their ally in said war would have a quarter of their high seas fleet Wonder how that would’ve affected the Med, perhaps Malta wouldn’t have survived
    1
  262. Cpl. Rook attacking a fleet in harbor stationary is quite a bit different than engaging them on the high seas, it’s doubtful as well considering how scared the admiral was of the Italian fleet Also many of Britain’s aircraft carriers were converted and weren’t fleet carriers like we think of now but that’s a side note anyway

  263.  @youraveragescotsman7119  they’re not German, they’re Italian in that case and as Drachnifel pointed out in a podcast with Military History Visualized the Italian Navy was spoopy
