Be Careful Where You Do This... 

France actually did expect Germans to go around it. The problem is that they couldn't extend the Maginot line to the coast due to objections from Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands as extending the line would actively throw those nations under the bus as France would then have no motivation to defend them at all, so there was heavy international opposition to it and so France opted not to extend the line. Soooo, yeah....

8:12 The French and British did expect the Germans to repeat the WW1-era Schlieffen Plan, so they planned to move forward into Belgium and establish another defensive line along the Meuse and Dyle. Unfortunately, the Germans concentrated most of their tank forces in the Ardenne, an area most on the allied side considered impassable for tanks, and was thus defended only by local Belgian forces, most of whom received the order to withdraw. The only resistance the Germans found in the Ardennes was two Belgian companies that somehow didn't receive the order the rest of their division did to retreat to the Meuse-Dyle line. Unsurprisingly, the Germans arrived at Sedan not long after.

White Feather also means something else in the US Military. The white Feather aka Carlos Norman Hathcock II was a US Marine sniper during the Vietnam War. He has a confirmed kill count of 93 and an unconfirmed kill count of 300. He was born in Arkanas in 1942, where he'd go hunting with a single shot .22 caliber rifle when he was a kid. At age 17 in 1959, he enlisted in the USMC. He got marksman training at Camp Perry, a US Army Base located in between Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio in Northern Ohio, which has one of the largest outdoor shooting ranges in the world. He also won marksmanship competitions. He arrived in Vietnam as a military police officer, but quickly became a sniper. His weapon of choice was the Winchester Model 70 chambered in .30-06 and an M2 Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun he modified into a sniper. In 1967, he made the longest sniper kill over a mile long, and held the record for longest sniper kill, untill a Canadian Sniper made an even farther kill in 2002 in Afghanistan. White Feather killed a Viet Cong leader named the Apache Woman who would filet US Troops alive near US Military bases. One day, after hearing the screams of her victims, he had enough, he called in an airstrikes, and took her down with two shots. When he was up against a NVA sniper called The Cobra, he shot him through Cobra's own scope. He also killed a NVA General on an NVA base while being camouflaged without being caught. In 1969, a landing vehicle struck a mine, White Feather began pulling his fellow Marines out of the wreckage when we sustained burns himself. He was rushed to a military hospital for treatment and was stationed in the US. In 1975, he was diagnosed with multiple scoliosis or something, and he was forced to retire 55 days short of his 20 years of service on medical grounds. His marriage nearly failed, but he took up fishing, trained SWAT teams and US Special Forces. He died in 1999, he was awarded the silver start and purple heart. His son, also joined the USMC. His sniper rifle is on display in Quantico, Virginia, and Springfield Armory named a weapon after him, the M25 White Feather Tactical Rifle. He was called White Feather because he kept a white feather in his hat.

2:20 Fun fact, that actually happened. A soviet destroyer showed up to record history while America was conducting naval operations to destroy Iran's oil platforms and 2 of their modern warships.

one of the reason France didn't extend the Maginot line is because it would make Belgium mad because if they extended it it would show that France think Belgium can't defend themselves.

Petition for drew to make a two part Panama ball plush that sticks together with Velcro (day 6)

The Czech laughing meme reminds me of a movie i was shown as a kid called forbidden songs which was a movie 'historical' interpretation of forbiden Polish songs under Nasi occupation which openly insulted and made fun of Mustashe man and spaghetti man .

As a Czech, we love our dark humour

As a half Irish Dutch lad I can confirm that if the Dutch would be placed in the Netherlands, they would immediately die to the angry Fairy Folk.

My grandgrandfather was in the resistance in the Netherlands during WW2. He prepared the boats for the people to go to England. There is now a museum of that in in the Netherlands. Engelandvaardersmuseum Noordwijk.

i love when drew posts

Petition to stop the petition comments

Great video can you do the spaceball comments more?

7:35 it wasn't dumb, in fact the Belgians actually refused french offers to extend the maginot line through their territory as they wanted to "stay neutral"

New drew post, nice

1:49 Actually yeah, when Sweden still had Finland as part of it's territory, many Finns were forced to fight the Swedes wars. We have always been tough skinned and determined so I could amuse the idea that the Finns were good soldiers. I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to speak more on this topic, since I fear I might make stupid or incorrect assumptions. I welcome anyone who knows more about this to talk, I love learning new things and trivia. Have a good day/night my darlings!

2:58 There were plans to invade Switzerland and Liechtenstein but Soviet counter offensive, D-day and Italian campaign made it impossible

Didn't know about the white feather thing

11:05 WHY didnt drew mention about carlos hathcock the White Feather

"did the germany bust though the line?" yes, they did. even from the start, rommel went though the top most fort (he had to recon it, otherwise his orders would not allow to go, but he used a panzer charge against a fort for recon, and than went into 20-50 km deep into the enemy territory, mostly even his side did not know where was he.) later they just went through part of them, to make the french soldiers surrender faster.

Another amazing video and play countryball at wars

Like the portuguese decend from the suebi, the spanish from the western goths, Italians from the lombards and the easter goths, the english from the anglo saxons and the French from the franks which all were germanic tribes as classified by the romans although "germany" did not really exist so they were germanic but never "german"

5:26 censorship at its finest

a triggering daily episode

Petition for Drew to hang up the Norwegian flag (day 4)

the main problem of most 'resistance,' they did absolutely nothing. most nations had to make quite impressive propaganda about their oh so heroic resistance, no one, not even soviets needed to make propaganda about the soviet partizans, as well as the yugo partizans. the rest? well, yes, they did many heroic stuff, in their memoirs and movies and books.
