I used this video to help teach my history class !
Comment from : @dennisselleck1281

Its almost like Hitler didn't read a history bookotherwise he wouldn't have attacked Russia, just like Napoleon Especially into the winterjust like Napoleon But strangely enough, his whole war was pretty much a mirror image of the Napoleonic Wars Its like he said, "Napoleon failed, but I will succeed cause I'm awesome"

Pics or it didn't happenoh wait 😂
Comment from : @niknik7470

Can’t watch it Irritating, pressured speech instead of matter-of-fact delivery Extirpate the drama
Comment from : @Maharishi2

This has a lot of BS This part of Germany, inhabited by Germans, robbed by Poland, thus the German people living here were persicuted by the Poles, beaten in the streets; similar to the 4 regions that Russia saved from genocide which was being committed by the Ukrainians The same thing happened in both of these areas, they both voted to return to the fatherland and Mother Russia repespectivley Austria did the same, their vote being 60/40 to re-join Germany
Comment from : @andrewbocho3896

The yanks knew about Peal Harbour Thet used it as an excuse to join the war, same as the 9/11 and now with Ruassa and Iran in recent years
Comment from : @andrewbocho3896

This I'm not ashamed to say made me cry brIve read, listened and watched so much about the second world war None of this was a surprise to me but to hear such destruction and despair and hear words like industrial murder, the atomic bomb and continents on fire used in such a short summary just shook me
Comment from : @Egg-88

Great video Do the same for WWI
Comment from : @tconroy1000

Brilliant
Comment from : @rubencontreras9288

It started earlier than 1939,,, it started when musolin invaded Ethiopia in 1936 and got beat pretty bad
Comment from : @FFaith-hc2sg

You forgot the siege of Leningrad, talking mostly of the west front In general, in the west we use to forget the big importance of the East front I recommend to learn more about it
Comment from : @rememberyoulldie

Tremendous 🧡😊🧐

If only more Trumpist Republicans here in the US would watch more stuff like this instead of the anti-US Fox News garbage that they seem to be consuming daily; this country would be a better place

Any chance of doing videos that focus on Canada and Australia? both the good and bad eh?brNotice you left out the bombing the allies did during the Blitz

Comment from : @MarkSmith-js2pu

My great grandfather was at the battle of Midway and the battle of Okinawa He used to tell me stories about them and he even had classic naval tattoos He was a living bad ass and also a very sweet and loving man RIP Papa
Comment from : @johnnyoutlaw6534

I admire the attempts of summarizing WWII, but I think that it is an error to do so as it obliges a very biased narrative can we allow such bias given the amplitude of what happened? I don't think so it is way too important, that should have been few episodes
Comment from : @axonepl

Very shallow, hollywood style interpretation of the history!
Comment from : @zs3101

Dan Snow, Bethany Hughes, Mary Beard and Simon, are the best British historians Love their narration and comprehensive understanding of history
Comment from : @esjey6953

Commonwealth and American forces under Montgomery were more than capable of taking Berlin before the Russians but were prevented from doing so by the flawed decision of General Eisenhower His justification was the Yalta Conference of February 1945 at which Britain, the US and Russia agreed that Berlin would be in the Russian region of occupied Germany As the end of the war approached, the Russians had already breached enough of the terms of the agreement to justify Montgomery’s taking of Berlin Churchill was strongly in favour and even American general Patton − who loathed Montgomery − agreed that he was the best man for the job as, by mid-April 1945, he was just three days away from Berlin But as Supreme Allied Commander Eisenhower, decided on the disastrous tactical error of halting allied armies at the Elbe and Mulde Rivers thus allowing the Russians to get to Berlin first If anyone is to blame for the drawing of a map of post-war Europe that led to the Iron Curtain, it was the naïve Eisenhower’s short-sightedness; not the inability of the British and the Americans to get to Berlin first
Comment from : @alantentevier4018

what embarassing defeat in Finland ? If you're talking about the soviets, it's an embarassing victory, if the finnish, it's an honourable defeat very misleading here
Comment from : @anprimdude

I like this man; he gives detailed history
Comment from : @ChidiNwachukwu-y2e

Small correction not all Europeans from the "European Empires" considered the start of the war 1939, for the Netherlands and its Colonial Empire, the war started in May 1940 (Overal ofcourse it started in 1939)

Eastern Front was the real hell
Comment from : @召命神弓

That was bloody brilliant
Comment from : @drew_peabawlz

and yet not a single word about Iron Curtain
Comment from : @jasse803

Oops: I'm sure there are already comments on this, but the Battle of the Phillippine Sea was in June 1944, not Sept 3,1939, as the tag indicates
Comment from : @karenhanania9014

Think you meant fought with atomic weapons, not nuclear
Comment from : @PharaohMan007

This had waaaaay too much british and allied asslicking
Comment from : @kega090

Pretty decent video, but just a quick thing, Finland lost territory in both the Winter War and Continuation War So while technically they “lost” they still maintained sovereignty
Comment from : @Tacozrule12

Good job on this video, Dan The Russians, however, didn't get to Berlin first; they were permitted to enter Berlin by the Allies

OMg I have family pictures of great uncles on camels in Egypt during the war A lot of them didn’t make it back I never knew the history It was just random photos that nobody talked about Glad to know
Comment from : @clairegolden7747

What makes you realise how sadistic hitler was is in the closing phase of the warbrbrHitler was being defeated, and yet, piled all of his resources into genocide Not defence

Thanks!

It is appropriate that the music stops when presenting the casualties of the two atomic bombs

Comment from : @fantax1280

Day of Infamy? Dude, they just paid the Americans back for Admiral Perry's little visit And for the League of Nations And for encroaching on their territory in the Pacific with their own empire
Comment from : @javilorenzana

Wish you would have mentioned the Americans working with the Italian mob to take Sicily
Comment from : @scotthartley7837

I love that comment, Hitler has a British problem that reminds me much, like Napoleon, them Brits hard as nails they are
