I would like to add that the British people also objected to the racism shown by the white US soldiers because of their imperial history. Don’t get bogged down in the negative aspects of that history, of which there were many. By that time many families had roots in the colonies abroad and had worked with and been surrounded by , in fact grown up being looked after by people whose skin was not the same colour as theirs. They retained a fondness for their colonial subjects and though there may not have been many black peoples permanently living on British soil, the transient population of people of every hue was huge. From Indian Civil servants ,lawyers and soldiers to Kenyan coffee growers and merchants , servants etc British people living in Britain had been exposed to citizens of every hue. So to the British it was insulting to them to see the way the god ole boys of the South treated their black soldiers.
I wonder what Rommel felt when he n his German possy lost their first land battle in war v the Australians..Australians showed the world the germane can b beaten..
Stephen, if you like videos about Australians, then check these out: What Did Rommel and the Germans Think About Australian Soldiers in WWII? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9rXT1i_uD6M.html Monash's Masterpiece: The Battle of Hamel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-93mVu2vgErs.html Or about a Kiwi in WWII: Behind The Iconic Photo: A Kiwi’s Experiences in WWII ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnjbDOTUuU0.html Thanks for watching and commenting!

First Nations soldier Francis Pegahmagabow from Parry Sound Ontario had his own concept of trench raids. He would sneak into an enemy trench at night and silence the German sentries. In the mornigng the Germans would wake to find their sentries dead and all of their buttons cut off or all of their boot laces cut. That had to be hard on morale.
Chris, yes, I've heard of him, but I haven't researched him too much. His story sounds really interesting! By the way, you're not the first commenter to mention him! Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Apparently, in an interview for a documentary, when a pair of German veterans were asked what the deadliest anti-tank weapon to them was, they said: “USS Texas”. Another report states that the Germans knew they’d lost the war when they’d found a cake. A cake. Likely from America, Britain, or the other Allies. They’d realized, like Japan, they could not outlast America or the Allies as a whole. The Allies were replacing and building up supplies and forces quicker than Germany could. That, coupled with the assets Hitler lost from his failed invasion of Russia, showed that they were outgunned, outnumbered, and alone by the time the Allies reached Berlin.
Garrett, I actually visited the USS Texas at San Jacinto when I was a kid. I didn't understand what role it played until later. Thanks for the comment. For this, you get a heart!
@@EmersusTech Thanks! I was shocked too, to find an old dreadnaught like her played such an important role. Many of the men on Omaha beach, some of the worst resistance from the Germans, would’ve died without her. And she lived through two wars! The Germans should’ve thought twice about entering a gunfight with a Texan.
As a Canadian who has lived in the UK for a number of years, in general I don't think our temperament is as "hair triggered" as the Brits, but once pushed over the edge...watch out!l
blank8327, yes, this may be the most unappreciated channel on RU-vid. There have been commenters who couldn't believe that some of the videos didn't have thousands of views and I agreed with them. Thanks for your comment! For this, you get a heart!
This vidro is a steaming pile of revisionist bullcrap. "The Germans were impressed by....blah blah blah. It is well known the american soldiers were regarded as mediocre and trigger happy, incapable of distinguishing getween foes and allies, by all nation's combatants.
You want to know about respect for an enemy? We got our arses kicked by Turkish forces at Gallipoli after following a British plan. Australia is admired as an honorable and worthy opponent. We've Turkish people living here in Oz and the respect is mutual...
Michael, that's an interesting thought -- that there still is mutual respect between old foes. There should be no "permanent enemies" in this world. We should strive to get along, even if people disagree. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
As for “Why are they so vicious”, you touched on it as did another commenter. WWI disrupted the NHL schedule! Seriously though, I think the comment of being the spear point was a very large reason for this. We had the same treatment in WWII under Churchill and Montgomery.
America and Britain, you could say, are cousins. You mess with one, you deal with the other. And you DON’T want them both on your case. From enemies, to friends, to allies, to being as close as siblings, I can’t imagine a greater friendship between nations.
Poorly trained? Poorly prepared? Poorly educated??? It’s funny coming from the same people who needed help saving their people. Guys had to be shipped from another continent, to help these highly trained? Highly educated? Highly prepared countries? 😂 The US is the only reason Hitler didn’t win. Whether it be from food assistance, medical assistance, or loaning our men to fight and die for countries who didn’t have the knowledge and balls to stop the atrocities before killing 12 million people. 😅😅😅
Less than half his age is not the issue, it’s that she was 16. MacArthur was deeply flayed. An at times brilliant general tactically , personally brave , but not a strategic thinker. Far too gifted with ego , megalomania, total lack of empathy, unwilling to listen to alternate opinions/options , did not value the soldiers and airmen under his command, a poor trainer , and personally a mediocre logistician.
bri200490, yes, there were many things wrong with Douglas MacArthur -- on different levels. More than I care to put in a comment, but you seem to have a good understanding of the man from your comment. Thanks!
bishop6218, I was trying something different to see what people thought about it. This is the only video that I've ever done that on. Thanks for your advice!
The victor(s) not only write the history but decide who are the bad guys and it is NEVER the victor. Had the Allies not won the the leaders both civilian and military would have been branded as war criminals and treated as such.
I was in the Canadian Army in Afghanistan (Kandahar, Panjwai district) in 2010, some events I find funny, but for some reason alot people give a WTF ?!? 1) One day at our COP a civilian resupply chopper took some incoming rounds as it was taking off. This was early in the morning, and most of the tour had been pretty uneventful. This caused a stand-to (drop what you are doing, grap your gear/rifle and get on the wall near the attack). I had heard the shots (they woke me up and I was like that was close.... "STAND TO, STAND TO.... fuck).... anyways it was one shooter in a grapehut about 200-300 meters away. So naturally the whole fucking COP (1 infantry company basically about 120 people), got on the closest wall and shot back. We didn't have problems after that. 2) another COP a few kms away had about 3-4 mortars actually land inside their camp one day. those guys triangulated the position of the insurgents and returned fire with about 30-40 mortars. 3) another day someone got positive ID on some dudes on a dirt bike planting an IED, that problem was solved with about dozen 155mm HE rounds from M777 howitzers. 4) a couple days after that, we engage a pair trying to bury an IED near a village. We had 2 helos in the area, the door gunners expended all ammo dealing with them. We were also the only country to bring tanks to Afghanistan, and we used them... frequently.... I dunno some people think this was excessive, me it's a case of fuck around and find out.
Edward, yeah, I read your comment with interest. I totally agree -- mess around with the good guys and you get it all back and more. For this contribution, you get a heart!

PatrickDowdle, no, but have you heard the New Zealand version? "Give me two New Zealand divisions and I will..." Nah, just joking around. Have you heard the British version? Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Havana...no mention of what the aborigines did and the fact that when the war was over the indigenous Australians were told to stay on the boats while the white Aussies celebrated in the streets. Get the whole story not this bull crap. Just for yr info Rommel quoted as saying " If I had a fleet of moaris I would've won the war" do yr research instead of listening to this crap.
The saddest part is every one died for nothing. The war was set up and paid for by the same group of men, the builderberg group. America supplied nazi Germany until the Germans started to lose to Russia, then they put together D day and sent America in to destroy what they helped make.
M y father fought in Burma during WW2, with the Queens Own Royal West Kents. He and his comrades had a very low opinion of US servicemen, both soldiers and Airforce. When US units were assigned to hold the flanks alongside British and Indian units, they frequently failed in the task and the British and Indian units (which the British held in high regard) often had to regain ground which US forces failed to hold. Also when USAF were tasked to air drop supplies, they often missed the drop zone, landing the supplies in enemy held territory. other times they released cargo without parachutes, or from too low an altitude for the chutes to open. such drops scattered ammunition across wide areas, rendering items like mortar bombs unsafe to use, and other items unrecoverable or useless. My father was also scathing of the US soldiers behaviour towards the civilian populace, who also had contempt for the US troops as soldiers.
user-vn2ii6mu9g, yes, that was definitely an advantage. Also, I believe there were more cars in the U.S. at that time compared to Germany per person, which meant it would be easier to train tank drivers. Thank you for your comment and for watching!
