My name is Sergio and I have a degree in History from the University of Murcia.
On this channel I produce and offer you exclusive documentaries and interviews that reveal revealing aspects of World War History, in which its most significant actions and the entire strategy that was developed in them are reviewed.
If you like Military History, and especially World War II, this is your channel. Based on this, we analyze all kinds of events, battles and curiosities about a multitude of conflicts.
Hitler survived the Fall of Germany !! It is said that Hitler spent the remainder of his life in exile in South America and died a pauper in 1960. This is too well known to be false.
Why can't they get the narrator to pronounce German words and name correctly. The W in German has a V sound so Waffen is pronounced Vaffen An Wittman name the same and he cdoesn't pronounce Leibstandarte correctly.
There were two flag raisings at Iwo Jima... Both *early* in the campaign...and one shortly after the other. The first, smaller flag went up as soon as Marines at the summit. The second was a much larger flag sent up for two reasons... First, the battalion commander who sent up the first wanted it back since it seemed that it would be "historic" and secondly because the second one could be seen far easier from a distance. ... ...The second raising was not "posed* as a few have indicated. At the same time as the B&W photo was taken, color film was taken by Marine Sgt. Bill Genaust, (who was later killed in action...) The film clearly shows the raising in one swift motion...not "posed..." Also when Guam got the film, they asked the photographer if "photo was posed..." He didn't think that they were talking about the 2nd flag raising... He barely managed to snap that and thought that it was not a keeper as no faces clear. He thought that they were asking about the follow-up photo of both groups of flag-raisers and other Marines smiling and waving their weapons. He said yes, the photo was posed...meaning the large group shot. Anyone here can go to RU-vid and key in Iwo Jima flag raising motion picture color film and see all this. The battle itself had the better part of a month to go...YP
Walter Model was not an honorable man. He was a war criminal who was responsible for many atrocities committed under his command. He cooperated with the Einsatzgruppen who carried out mass murder. And, in the end, he took the coward's way out.
I had a former supervisor who watched in horror as a column of Germans got strafed by P-51s when she was a little girl in Italy. She also remembers seeing the formation of bombers during the day (American) and then hearing them bomb the city miles away.
It baffles me that the Soviet soldiers entering Germany totally failed to understand that ordinary Germans, and even regular soldiers of the Weirmacht, had no interest in plundering and damaging Soviet Russia. Instead, like all soldiers in wars, they are pawns at the mercy of the political system in which they find themselves. How did the Soviet soldiers, themselves pawns of Stalin’s regime, not realise this? The answer has to be that they simple-mindedly swallowed the propaganda they had been fed.
You people are just too critical of the Soviets. The French and the Poles were not ready to fight for their countries and that was why their countries were conquered and occupied. As at the time that Germany attacked the Soviets with a force of more than 3 million men, how many countries in the world could survive that onslaught
Strategically, Germany was not in condition to fight WW2 in 1939. Invading Poland was a near fatal mistake. Their military was inferior in numbers, inferior in quality, but superior in training. Ad geography. Germany had oil, ammo for may be 1-2 months of intense war. The Manstein Plan was a gamble that combined deception, surprise and speed. Bewegunskrieg. Germany did not overall superiority, so they concentrated their forces at the decisive point - Schwerpunkt - to achieve local superiority and win the Battle of France. It bought time and resources to force a stalemate with Britain & Allies at best. Germany lacked deciding weapons like atomic bomb, significant advanced jet fighters, oil to win outright victory. Looking back, Germany should have waited until USSR and Britain got into a conflict to get Danzig. Taking over non Germanic lands made no sense.

I find myself as the same type of personality as HEINRICI, when I was in management I too use to think most of the meetings were a waste of time and preferred being out getting things done. I also am plain speaking meaning I don't fluff up anything I tell it like it is which I believe is the most valuable and I also don't shy ftom telling the Boss what I Think They need to know unlike others who WANTED to but were too afraid to. Total shame that Carinhall was blown up, what a major loss of a beautiful place.
The biggest mistake ? Not hiring a psychiatrist and interview A. Hitler, make sure he does not have any issues up there . Why invade Britain, and the u s s r? Focus on domestic issues , and trade relations with tour neighbors for economic growth.
As far as "Italy being a more of a burden", that's just typical German excuse for losing an ill planned, ill advised war against USSR and USA. What idiot would open 3 fronts at the same time. Then have the audacity to blame a partner (Italy) that put 250,000 troops at their disposal along with Romanians and others... No it wasn't Italy the burden, it was the idiotic Barbarosa invasion that doomed them. Germans are always full of excuses instead of taking their responsibility for their failures.
Heinrici was right about Goering. Goering failed to deliver any of the commitments he made to Hitler in the Battle of Britain and failed miserably to deliver the volume of supplies he promised to Hitler to re-arm and prevent the starvation of Paulus' remaining 300,000 men at Stalingrad. Those broken promises were major reasons for 2 of the 3 most critical German defeats in WWII.
It should be noted the Russians learned from this and no longer throw large masses of troops at entrenched defenders. Oh wait, Ukraine.....scratch that idea.
Discusting attempt at rewriting history and a perfect example of anglo-american razzism against Russians: 27 million deaths among the Soviets at the hand of Nazi Germany, the biggest genocide in history, and the anglo americans who only intervened after the Soviets had already defeated the bulk of the nazi arrmy, can only blame those Who sacrified the most to free Europe from the Nazi Regime that the Anglo-American elites had favoured, and later on sheltered. The anglo_americans Who bombed cities and civilians indiscriminately and went so far as to drop 2 atomic bombs on japanese civilians . Simply discusting .
As a point of interest to Manchester United fans, the legendary goalkeeper, Burt Troutman, served in the Luftwaffe parachute regiment in the second world war.
I met an immigrant from the Soviet Union in the 1980's and asked her how she liked it here. She said she walked into the grocery store and was so overwhelmed that she sat down and cried! We truly do live in the and of plenty!
