CORRECTIONS: The M1 Garand displayed in Operation Torch was animated to have a bolt-action, rather than being the semi-automatic action it is truly known for. The U.S Paratrooper during Bastogne was wearing incorrect footwear; although this happened as Paratroopers began to obtain "regular" equipment and clothing as their wore out (HBO's miniseries "Band of Brothers" displays this well), it would have been far more common to see the famed Cocoran jump boots than the gaiters worn in the video. While this was primarily an Army video, we felt the need to include a small mention of what the U.S Marine Corps did during World War II. Although they were a sizable force, in reality, they did not do the fighting alone as the USMC was given credit for. The Stinger was incorrectly noted as being based on an aircraft variant of the M2 Browning (.50) when in reality it was the M1919 (.30) specifically. With this, the aircraft variant "AN/M2" referred to three machine guns with different ammunition. The M1919 and M2 also shared design similarities that caused some confusion.

If you guys enjoyed this video, we can release our battle simulator on our website! *SPOILERS* --- BEHIND THE SCENES: https://youtu.be/2VLHW19BIfs An explanation to the American victory: You are taking highly trained, freshly equipped, and battle-hardened (Italy & Africa) American troops, against mid-1944 static German infantry in Normandy. These troops don't even have enough supplies to be maneuvered, hence the name static. They were not the disciplined soldiers you would find on the eastern front. Regular infantry in this region comprised of foreign conscripts and wounded Germans. If we were talking about Grenadiers, Waffen SS, Panzergrenadiers, Volksgrenadiers, Fallschirmjaeger, or even just standard German infantry from 1940-1943 we'd probably see a German victory. Even still, we came to the conclusion these quickly thrown together units would win 46% of the time, which is extremely impressive. In fact, our simulation stated that the Germans would win 55% of the time in rural environments, when the Americans are being engaged at further ranges, negating one of the main advantages of the fast-firing semi-automatic M1 Garand. --- A note about the simulation: The team did not blindly depend on the simulation to write the script. The battles included were completely made up and animated by hand to serve as a narrative for a video. There was no church tower or storming of the tower in the simulation program. The engagements were constructed to reflect our research about how the two country's squads behaved. The simulation does take into account for morale, suppression, intelligence, training, etc., however, it does not have any visuals, it just provides data and numbers and was calibrated by our researchers. You can look at our sources for this video - even if we hadn't designed our battle simulator, we would have presented the video in the exact same manner and arrived at a similar conclusion. There was no actual footage, and I doubt my audience wants to see me present code for 10 minutes. That's something I can show on my side channel if there's interest. At no point did we claim we had scientific information, hence the disclaimer, "this is just our opinion" at the beginning of the video. Lastly, we make these videos to both inform and to entertain. In real life, these types of engagements would have lasted hours, but we've condensed the battles to make them easier and more interesting to watch and understand...

  579. Hey Gunther, If we're discussing the effect of casualties in a war, it seems slightly inappropriate to dismiss the civilian casualties, who make up a country's economic and social support, and therefore sustainability of a war... Secondly, the fact of the matter is that regardless of if some battles were inconclusive, the Russians were unable to claim victory in any large engagement. This is why they didn't bother to continue fighting, they knew they couldn't win... Though Japan had a smaller population, their losses in the war did not completely destabilize their country. Third, I think you're correct in that I should have displayed the casualties at some point in the video, but I disagree with your second point. Looking at casualties does not determine the victor of a war at all, there are many examples in history of this. Japan ejected Russia from influencing Asia, and was able to carry out their plans of imperialism in the 20th century because of it, for them the Russo-Japanese war was a huge success. Russia on the other hand was forced to completely withdraw from Manchuria and Korea, stop their railroad in Korea, and give up on their Asian ambitions. For that reason, Japan came out victorious, regardless of their losses in soldiers... The Allies lost more men on the beach landings at Normandy than the Germans, did this mean the Normandy landings were a failure? Lastly, The first line of the video says "I'd hesitate to say that Japan defeated Russia," not "Japan had a super victory over Russia." So I don't believe your last point is reasonable... Griff
