GERMANS on ESCAPE - DESTRUCTION of FALAISE POCKET 

WarfareGaming giving us quality content from historical masterpieces to experimental voodoos throughout the years, keep up the excellent work mah men.

I have to say, this was a phenomenal piece of content. 12/10 Amazing work 🔥

My Dad survived 1 1/2 years on the Russian front before his unit was transferred to Normandy after D-day. Dad's ONLY campaign he took part in in France was in the Falaise pocket. He said the pocket was nicknamed "the bonemill" by both sides because everywhere you went there were dead men, dead horses, dead cows, dead chickens and seeing how this battle happened in the heat of the summer, the flies and the stink was horrendous. Dad was captured, along with about 50 other men by the Canadians in a barn that hadn't been hit yet. That started 4 years of being a POW . . but the shooting was over, Thank God. Dad told me that before they got captured, they looked outside the barn once in a while and NEVER counted less than SEVEN Allied ground attack planes at all times bombing and strafing

Your content is second to none. I love how you put the time and effort in to do some research when you're recreating an actual historical event. Its obvious you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. You don't just record yourself playing a videogame, do 10 minutes of editing and upload it for some quick views. Just know your true fans appreciate the work you put into your content. Your channel deserves a lot more recogniiton. You're doing it the right way though

This is the kind of content I dreamed about making as a teenager but never mustered the skill (or effort) required. I used to love playing around in the MoW editor and made some very amateurish scenarios. What I pictured in my head was something like this. Great work!

Very well done, can’t wait to see what’s next!!

Fun fact: the falaise pocket wasn't even close to the falaise city, that's why in France we call it the Falaise-Chambois pocket

PS. As far far as i recall that road and the few parallel secondary roads as well as the German column was almost 40 kms long...and it was bombed, shelled and strafed to BITS. The only real "close-range engagements" were at the column's rear, where some German units tried to slow the Americans down by trying to "bite& scoot", and at the forward "bottleneck", where Poles and Canadians "plugged" the road, preventing the Germans to escape. BASICALLY - rather than a battle it was the largest BUTCHERY performed by Allied Artillery and strafing planes. Had hitler allowed them to retreat 3 days before this started to unfold it may have never happened (or who knows? - it might have ended the same way - Allied infantry, arty and tanks were completely motorized and faster - the Germans were not and still relied on horses to tow their vast artillery park, but at least their heavy vehicles might have escaped. Another lesson from History - do not arrange your forces in 20-30 kilometers long columns. Apparently the Russians still continue to forget about this.

I've asked it once, I'll ask it again.... HOW DOES HE DO IT!!?? Everything is so perfectly scripted!

There was so many awesome shots in this, the last segment had me tearing up. Awesome video

The deadly Polish Armour Division seeing German forces:😈😎 "The hunt is on, right bohater?"

My GrandGrand father was in Generał Maczek Polish division under Falaise

Las defensas y la enorme resistencia que ponen los alemanes es impresionante

Dude this is so nicely done again. I'm impressed by the soldiers skins as well. Wish those American hbt's were added to Robz!

This was awesome. The map was great.

DUUUDE!! This is simply amazing, excellent job!

Danke!

Oh man... I'm watching your videos all the time. These scripts are awesome! Keep up 😎

The sound, is perfect. Thanks guys!

Wonderfully! My Master is here again! I love it and congratulations!

why the Polish division had to fight alone for 2 days with the 1st and 2nd armored SS korpus. Others were not willing to come to the rescue to block the withdrawal of German forces.

I remember Treyarch's Call of Duty 3, their first game in the franchise, covered the Falaise Pocket in its single-player story. It covered the British, American, Canadian, and Polish involvement on the Western front. That was a chapter of WW2 that was never covered in any of my history classes in school, as most history teachers skipped from the Battle of Britain to Normandy, Market Garden, and then the Battle of the Bulge, skipping over many major military actions in between those events. I knew Polish resistance networks were still fighting, but I never knew the Polish still had regular military units in service with the Allies. I remember thinking how cool it was that Poland was still in the fight this late into the war, despite being one of the worst hit nations, having the Germans and Soviets invading back and forth across their territory multiple times throughout the war.

I love the cinnamonic shots what's going on in the story of the battle this is why I love this channel

So beautiful! Thank you.

Well done! The Falaise Pocket would not have happened but for 1. Hitler ordering the bulk of the panzer divisions to attack to the west and 2. His refusal to allow the troops to withdraw. The German troops who managed to escape had no equipment and whole formations wiped off the German Order of Battle. This video captures the fighting so beautifully. Well done Warfare!

Amazing. The accurate sound effects of the weapons, all of it. I was shaking my head the whole time in upset due to the realism. Gg

Your videos are awesome and they just keep getting better

It was the 12th SS Panzer Division or Leibstandarte, that gave the Allies hell. These were youths, not fully adults yet . Led by Brigadefuhrer Kurt Meyer. Also known as Panzermeyer. The sheer superiority of allied material overwhelmed the Germans.

You’re best 2022 video ever it was great I really liked how you used a real battle and the beginning was really cool

OMG great content! i like how he added a picture of the damaged convoy of Germans. keep the good work up man! it would also be awsome if you did some ww1 vids

Falaise pocket aka Stalingrad of Normandy.

Amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome Man! 10/10

Epic battle 🤤 I can call that "despair of war "

Amazing work !!

1:48, bro was just like nah, screw this battle i’m out

Hey the infamous Comets thank you!!! Czech German tanker retired here spoke how Comet was most feared from D-Day out. Never seen one in action. Wish he were alive to see this.

The choke point of the Falaise pocket was closed by Polish 1 Armored Division, they got heavy casulties and even went into hand to hand combat at times, but it was a matter of honor not to let the Krauts out.

From what I have read, the Germans were absolutely slaughtered in the Falaise Pocket. The Allies called it the corridor of death. Eisenhower stated that *"It was literally possible to walk for hundreds of yards at a time, stepping on nothing but dead and decaying flesh."*

I've been to the Falaise Pocket. It's hard to believe that this kind of hell really happened in such beautiful country.

This is perfect! Im gonna subscribe

Great video. Very well done.

Wow! Wow! Amazing! Congrats! Good luck!

Just amazing

That was awesome!

Since i watched the arty wh*res, fortress vs an entire army his content is so good how long does it take for him i appreciate this magnificent and historical video of what happened in the last 100 years

The best Viedeo ever from your 620❤️👌🏻

Loved the video @Warfare Gaming! Can't wait for the next video man! I have an Interesting Idea for an Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 video. Not sure how well this would work out in the games current state but it might still be worth a try. It is kinda based on the Battle of Alnus Hill from the Anime TV Series "GATE - Thus the JSDF Fought There", So be warned. After the Horrendous Battle the French Grande Armée had, they are now on a Defensive Retreat and Set Camp by a Nearby Desert Village. Out of an Entire Division of 10,000 Men, Only 3,000 Remained from being Countered by, as one Soldier would say, "Muskets that can Fire Lightning Bolts". A Company of 140 Men had set up camp in a Small Nearby Village with Several Prisoners that they had brought back for Interrogation with Likely Intent on Selling them off as Slaves when any and All Information they needed. The men were set up in Defensive Positions along the City and had just gotten the Night Shift ready when out of nowhere, a Bright Blinding Light Shines as if Dawn had Appeared. These are in fact Star Shells and the Enemy Forces fired them in order to spot targets for what was next. Bright Flashes of light can be seen on the Horizon with a Low Rumble like a Thunderstorm can be heard only for the Area to break out into an Unearthly Crescendo of Modern American Artillery. Soon the Sounds of Steel Beasts and Birds fill the sky as M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, M2A3 and M3A2 Bradley Infantry and Cavalry Fighting Vehicles, UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47D Chinook Helicopters and Humvee's Move in amongst the dark with Infantry alongside them. The American Army Sent A Task Force with an Infantry Regiment of about 1,600 Men supported by a Tank Company of 14 M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks and 8 M3A2 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicles, an Airborne Company of about 170 Men and Several UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47D Chinook Helicopters and a Battery of 4 M777 155mm Howitzers another of 6 M109 Paladin 155mm Self-Propelled Artillery, with Plenty of M2A3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles to transport and Further Support them. Hope you like the Idea man, spent about an hour typing this up!

Ilove this kind of strategy game😁✌️

The Falasie gap Saw some of the heaviest fighting of World War II on the western front the 2006 video game call of duty3 illustrates this very well

Bro the creators of men of war nedds you for making a great misions like this

7:29 American Soldiers: Alright guy watch out there are areas of mine **EXPLORE** **EXPLORE** **EXPLORE**

That looks an awful lot like it has been done with the "Men Of War - Assault Squad" editor, though the graphic engine seems more advanced. ...NICE!...

I love the kingtigers with that camo but it breaks my heart to see them destroyed

My Dad was flying his 22nd Mission in a B24 with the American 467th Bomb Group on 13 Aug 1944. The Target: Bridges over the river Seine that were an escape route into Belgium for the German forces fleeing the Falaise Pocket. As my dad's B-24 was about to reach the IP, a German mobile AA unit near Mezidon France blew his B-24 apart. My dad and the other pilot were strapped in steel armoured seats in the cockpit. As the stricken B-24 entered a flat spin, the seats and their occupants broke through the flak damaged aircraft. Both men were able to unstrap their seat-belts and open their parachutes. Upon reaching the ground they were captured and spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1. The rest of the B-24 crew perished

Like the way the video was done to show the battle allies rules. 😂

I believe it was this that gave the impression that the Germans were done for and couldn’t mount any effective offensive/defensive operations. Something that was brutally dispelled during Market Garden and Hurtgen Forest.

Good...Very Good. One of the better recreation videos that I have seen. We have History Channel recreations like Greatest Tank Battles and Dogfights. But Very Little 'good' recreations of land battles. If you continue to make videos like this , maybe you can start with the words Falaise Gap in your descriotion...so it can be seen in the ' library of Falaise battle videos ' that pop up on RU-vid. The same with any other battle you recreate. The war historian community ( like me for over 50 years ) is dyin to see stuff like this. ( I tried to recreate battles using tanks and vehicles on il-2 1946 Sturmovik , but I cannot get the control over objects like you did here ). Thank you for your time and effort

Recreacion espectacular 😎🍿

Beautiful video, Warfaregaming 👏👏👏😁❤️ !!!!! Everything is perfect, you did a great job 👌 !!!!!! I loved the Polish and Canadian soldiers in this video, Warfaregaming 😍❤️👍!!!!!!11:40 But why is that American soldier carrying an MG-34 ?

I'll get the game too but only after my vacation!😉

Друг, тебе нужно снимать кино! Очень кинематографичные кадры, кропотливый труд, ты большой молодец! Я смотрю тебя уже 3 года, ниразу об этом не пожалел. Успехов тебе, с приветом из Нижнего Новгорода! (Dude, you need to make a movie! Very cinematic shots, painstaking work, you are a great fellow! I have been watching you for 3 years now, I have never regretted it. Good luck to you, with greetings from Nizhny Novgorod! )

Nice video, I'm slightly confused though why you call the Poles and Canadians "British", and why they have British accents? Nice to see the 4CAD patch on one of the troops though.

6:06 LOL look right where 2 mens with pistol. Granateeeee :D

A old friend of mine long gone now was there with the 803rd Tank Destroyer battalion. He said it was a slaughter.

It’s like he knows when everything is going to happen

Epico como mas de dos naciones se tuvieron que aliar para poder vencer en una batalla a los alemanes y luego dicen cual fue el mejor ejército de todos 😎🤙

I'm just surprised that M2 "Medium" Managed to Survive for so long.

The realism is quite good. It's good enough that I sure as heck wouldn't want to be in this fight. So easy to die.

Rip of those american, british, canadian & polish soldiers who die in war in europe, that is one of the most brutal intense battle in history of mankind, peace to the fallen, i respect them They die for our country, our way of life & democracy, those soldier fight with blood sweat & tear, i solud to the fallen soldier 😔.

I felt like I watched Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers all over again 😭 with this video.

I'm not sure if a King Tiger turret would be tossed like a rag doll. I know Michael Wittmans Tiger 1 got the turret blown up in the air.

The irony of them fighting in a place that seemed to be a paradise haha

Отличная зарисовка

Fun fact. There were no Tiger II in Normandy.

Oh mine, this is seriously heavy losses on both sides...

Excellent video I want to see the battle of kassarien in North Africa or Kursk

ファーレーズポケットからの脱出ですね ありがとうございました わっふあーがみんぐ

Cool

My father fought in this battle with the US Artillery. The Germans used a lot of horse drawn equipment.. He said u could walk for 1/2 mile stepping on dead horses and dead Germans.

You should do more Italian front videos like in North Africa or even Southern Europe

I need to ask since I love the editor mode, how do you get them all to attack and close in on an area?

7:58 “as german technology advanced they made the floating gun so soldiers dint drop there guns”

Where were the Allies fighter-bombers which chewed up German armor and strong points in and around the pocket?

At 1:48, the poor guy didn't want to fight.

9:59 Nice FPS.👌👌😃😃

I remember the first time seeing Falaise Pocket from the game Sudden Strike 4 and thinking “Damn. So that’s what Dunkirk was like for the Germans.” Then not long hearing a reference about it in a favorite movie of mine, Fury. And I gotta say I agree with Michael Peña’s character. I fucked them up. And ever sense that’s how I like to play my strategy games. With ambushes and surrounding my enemy’s. I wanna create my own series of Falaise Pockets.

El Tanke ME Stuart se lució bien con su infantería ☺️☺️

I’m thinking some artillery and close air support would be helpful.

great animation. Could you mind adding more written narration on each scene, sir? it would be more interesting & well explained, I think

Here’s a suggestion I just thought of: World War III in Red Dawn!

This is not a battle it's a massacre!

Ww2 alternate naval landing of darwin please? That would be a cool idea

Can you do one about the Desert Rats and North Africa, maybe the third battle of El Alamein?

Great graphics and realism, however the Falaise pocket was much larger than the town. Also I don't believe the Germans had that many Tiger II's in all of Normandy.

amazing work ... and really I would like you if you plz you did publish this work as a single player mod to play as a German or allies it would great to taste what we have just saw it's just a partially waste not to share the experience other than just watch it ...thank you for your work and waiting your published mod

Could you uploads missions for MoW ? It could be so good to do !..

when the Warfare logo jumped in, i scared of "is this the end of the video?" but no, thankfully

nice

video idea: make a ww2 tank battle sherman tanks vs german tanks
