Can anyone imagine New Zealand having a war with America? It’s ridiculous,just as ridiculous as Japan trying it, not enough people not enough ammunition not enough aircraft not enough metal, a high cost defeat was the only likely outcome ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Alt History: "Disaster at D-DAY" In 1943 Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, Hitler’s handpicked man for the defense of France reveals his conclusion after his inspection after viewing the German defensive wall AKA the “Atlantic Wall.” He knows that the Allied invasion will be massive and beyond comprehension, to get past the wall it would have to be. Rommel orders at least an extra ten divisions to be stationed at Normandy; since Rommel believes this would be the area the Allies attacked from since the Atlantic Wall was poorly built around that area. He also believes that the Allies would bring massive air support and try and land troops behind the wall, so he orders at least 15 divisions of the Luftwaffe to be at the ready for the invasion. Rommel finally chooses to fill in all known gaps along the Normandy coast, thus preventing any gaps from increasing when the Allies arrive. Upon request from one of Rommel’s top Lieutenants, he decides to train all units along the Normandy coast with the experienced Panzer Lehr division. A Luftwaffe Lehr unit is formed with ten divisions of the planes that are being sent to Normandy with five as reserve. The Invasion June 5th 1944 - General Dwight D. Eisenhower decides to go forward with the invasion, even though the weather has not improved. Over 4000 ships set sail for Normandy, not knowing the Nazis are waiting, and eager to crush them. June 5th 1944 - The Allies arrive late to Normandy due to a navigation error, and German planes spot the Allied fleet approaching Normandy, the planes radio back to the Normandy HQ and notify Rommel that the Allies are approaching with 4000+ ships. Rommel knew that the Allies would send in ships, but that was basically the entire American and British fleets. Multiple plane divisions are also spotted, and they are guessed as landing craft for troops behind the Atlantic Wall. Rommel orders all AA guns to be at the ready, and for the Luftwaffe to begin takeoff, and for the Luftwaffe and Panzer Lehr troops to be at the ready for his command. The largest sea born invasion is about to begin. The Luftwaffe goes in for the attack. 1,200 Luftwaffe fighters and bombers spread out over the western French coast and attack the invaders, who are unprepared for such a surprise attack. The Luftwaffe leaves to refuel and rearm, and continuously pounds the invading army. June 5th 1944 - The Allied fleet arrives with guns blazing and they are all targeted at the Atlantic Wall. Hundreds of Higgins boats with about 30 troops in each begin approaching the coast, and Rommel orders five Luftwaffe Lehr divisions to attack the Higgins boats, and the other five to attack Carrier ships. June 5th 1944 - The Allies are losing troops faster than they can send them out, and only about 1/10 of Higgins boats have made it ashore, only for the troops to be destroyed by the MG42 nests. Most of the troops by plane however, have made it behind the wall, and are now making their advance into French territory. By 23:00 hours, Allied troops who made it, along with divisions of surviving Sherman tanks, begin to advance through the French countryside but little do they know that over 20 divisions trained by the Panzer Lehr are waiting. When they reach Nazi camps, they attack. After several attacks through the night, German commanders attack and push any remaining allies toward the west. The mighty Tiger assault divisions quickly destroyed whatever they found ... tanks, soldiers and even anti-tank guns. June 5th 1944 - Radio broadcasts start pouring in that the Germans with multiple Panzer divisions, and they are wiping out all units that were dropped behind the main German line who are unprepared for such a surprise attack. By June 6th - All allied strongholds are abandoned and the German Wehrmacht retake Western Europe. General Eisenhower is notified of the advanced German defenses and he must make a life changing decision, either sacrifice more troops and hope to break through or he can withdraw all units and save hundreds of thousands of lives. Eisenhower makes the decision to withdraw all troops and return to Britain. Rommel is informed that the Allies are retreating and he gives the orders to send out all of the Luftwaffe, and destroy all the ships they can. The remaining five Luftwaffe divisions are sent out and harass the Allies until they begin to run out of fuel. They return to a hero’s welcome, the Germane have successfully defended against the largest invasion in history, and they could not be any happier. June 6th 1944- The Allies are crushed that they were defeated at Normandy and they have lost a good deal of ships and troops. Over 2750 ships were lost and over 400,000 men. June 7th 1944- President Roosevelt, along with the Chiefs of Staff, meet in a secret meeting to discuss the future of the war. Since the Allies lost at Normandy, they are seriously thinking about withdrawing from the European front, and focus on the Japanese.
Un film de exceptie cinste inaintasilor nostrii care au luptat pt libertatea tarii insa degeaba in ca nenorocitii astia au distrus tarisoara noastra de tot.
One of the very best of Battlefield. It's so old school. Like as old school as you can get. But I love every second of these Battlefield series. Thanks so much for posting it. I love history, especially the WW2 related stuff. More focused on the naval parts now.
America did it with the help of ANZACs . But there is Menchen of that, Australia had spies on each of the islands and when they got caught, they were beheaded. there is no Menchen of that. All so take a look at the fuzzy wuvzes angels. Take a look at the coo Koda trail
Scena in care soldatul român a facut un mic numar de teatru pentru soldații turci mia adus aminte de evenimentul din iarna lui 1914 la începutul primului război mondial cand in ziua de Crăciun soldații britanici si soldații germani au iesit din tranșee au lasat armele jos si au semnat un armistițiu pe toata durata sarbatorilor de iarna in acel armistițiu cele doua armate sau jucat fotbal, au cantat colinde, au mancat si au baut împreună pana la sfârșitul sarbatorilor.
What still amazes me is how the Japanese thought they would defeat the United States. Our industry and manufacturing is enormous. World War 2 was won in the factories. It's that simple. Don't ever mess with the US. That goes for Russia China Iran and North Korea. Because if they do. They WILL come up short. Guaranteed.
Damn , the Finns took it to the Soviets in the Winter War !! They had an excellent plan and they were fighting on there home turf !! The Soviets must've felt like they had stepped into a huge pile of shit there!
Outstanding to see John tackle the many misconceptions, distorted thinking, and propaganda about Israel-Gaza and Russia-Ukraine in the context, not of the usual ambiance of strong agreement between himself and his various hosts, but this time in the context of a much more skeptical or "challenging" format of discussion, forcing John to "stick to his guns" and thereby to more sharply delineate his point of view with regard to those many misconceptions, et. al.
Not a Montgomery fan, but quite frankly, I think any general, US or UK, would've had a hard time busting Caen within such a timetable. Still, Montgomery was in over his head and should have been replaced if the UK public would have stood still for it. But it was still a worthwhile video to watch. Thank you for it!
I was one (among many I'm sure) waited a long time (Dec 2010) for the DVD. From my memory PBS run it only once. Perhaps it didn't gather good audience reaction?
Helsinki is joining NATO & is a capital of WEF soon as Russia is defeated their is nothing left to stop a UN dictatorship & left of US will then celebrate total gun control &Fed.now will approve or stop every purchase.But as the capital it has to worry about lake lagoda, again.
My uncle died on the invasion, he was a captain in the army, he got his third purple heart and was awarded the bronze star and silver star posthumously. War is hell, his death crushed my grandparents because he was the oldest son and the future for them. My mother hated the Japanese until her death.
