I Was Asked, Can You BREAK The Netherlands? - Putting the Raid on the Medway to Shame 

Your videos rock man, You're easily my favorite Hoi4 Creator.

Everybody said "1945",but I'm gonna be more ingenious and say 1609

as a dutchie i dislike how the names of the cities are accurate in native language except for Den Haag.

G E K O L O N I S E E R D

The ratio is 19652:51 You're welcome

drunk fun fact: vader means father in dutch, so vaderland is fatherland, and darth vader is luke's father

Also, this dude is known as Conrad 'ship-a-day' Helrfich. After the Japanese attack on the East Indisch, he pursuited such aggressive submarine tactics that for a few weeks of the war, the few dutch submarines active in the region, where sinking a larger tonnage of Japanese ships then the Royal and US Navy combined. The allied command considered him "to much".

Trading oil with Russia and in return give them lightbulbs from Phillips. Pretty accurate lol

Hoi4 Singleplayer meta: - take any nation that can produce enough subs until 1939 - go fascist, join Axis - flood england, get the most war score out of France - take out rest of the world

4:24 ohh, so that’s the button my ex girlfriend pressed right after we met

"zangazee works" *me, a dutchman" Nobody ever seems to get the "ui" sound correct, except maybe the Scottish, they can do it too

Trick question.. The south was liberated in 1944.. the rest of the country a year later. Officialy we celibarete it on 5th of may

The zuiderzee (litterally the southsea) used to be the sea in the middle of the Netherlands which we partially drained to create a new province and therefore turning it into the ijselmeer (a lake)

When you said I take my encryption description very seriously. I was expecting a nord vpn sponsorship

Great editing, it really matched the other parts of the presentation. Really appreciated you cutting out the duff and keeping the monologue on point.

Are you kidding me what, I've been subbed for a while now and never actually realized u were under 100k, great videos man

Dit is zo G E K O L O N I S E E R D

The Dutch were liberated on the 10th of May 1940 when the German Army started „Fall Gelb“ to liberate the Dutch from themselves.

South was liberated in 1944 North in 1945

FeedBackGaming about the best editing I've seen! precise and to the point. As a casual who just popped in from recommendations while on his way to somewhere else it was interesting to watch! Cheers

To much cheese! 🧀💨 love the new formatting, truly amusing! Especially the pic at the beginning, made me smile.

the south of the netherlands was liberated in 1944 and the rest was liberated on 5 may 1945

By far the best Hoi videos. You make me laugh more than anyone else.

trivia: 1944 Edit: the convoy ratio is roughly 385 allied to 1 dutch

24:49 That's something I initially thought of with old ship hulls, but it can take an absurd amount of time if you don't have sufficient dockyards. In 1936 I went to refit an old capital ship, and it wasn't going to be done until 1944.

1945 their were like one of the last countries to be liberated also I think northern Netherlands was held by Germany until the surrender

"There's a lot of convoys in the caribbean". Well, yes, that's where the panama canal is!

Thx for the war plan, love from The Netherlands ❤️

I’m surprised you haven’t gotten to 100k I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and of all HOI4 youtubers you’re one of the best and if not THE BEST

Answer is May 1945, or just the last 5 Months of the war, the war couldve been Shorter if Market Garden Succeeded

Indunation lines= flooding ( indunating) areas to create impassable ( xept you know, paratroops) terrain and lead enemy forces into killzones/defences

FeedBack if you asking for teritory you can look at the marker when you are asking for teritory if there is X you can take that and if there is a check mark you can be asking for more teritory until the check mark turn to X

The Netherlands was first liberated from Germanic rule in 1648.

Yeah I accidentally got that achievement going for a different one.

Dave if you look at the "ask for control of state" button as you click on the state to ask for it and it has a tick they will accept. If it has a cross they will reject.

For really tough naval invasions, use regular (not amphibious) tank divisions with mech. Getting ashore isn't the hard bit; it's staying ashore. So just use the best land-fighting division and don't worry about the naval invasion capability. Build up a stockpile of nukes, line up your invasion, and then hit both sides of a port. Nuke the provinces you're going to land on four or five times each (you can just click the nuke icon several times) and also nuke everything adjacent to the port and to the provinces you're landing on. Just don't nuke the port, because that will wreck your supplies. Your landing will get ashore instantly because the recently-nuked troops have no organisation. Then start attacking the port from both sides while pushing inland a bit to protect your perimeter. The enemy will not be able to break a perimeter held by strong tank divisions and you should have enough firepower to take the port pretty easily - you'll be attacking from all sides, the enemy will be out of supply, and you'll have air superiority and shore bombardment. Once you have the port, and you're in supply, you can expand the perimeter. It's pretty easy to design a division template as a human that the AI can't touch (e.g. 40-width modern tanks with mech; 11-6 mech/artillery) and then you can just push through their armies regardless of how big they are. The only question is how many of them you're going to kill. The alternative approach is to invade the port directly and use nukes to force your way ashore, and then put the port repair to the top of your construction screen and choose the construction repair focus. You can usually repair in time to get supply through to save your army. Sometimes I've had to go to free trade and Extensive Conscription to get all the construction bonuses to be able to repair fast enough (late game you have tons of PP, so go to a really high conscription level, build up a big manpower reserve, then lower it for the duration of the repair and you can easily raise it again before the demobilisation gets your available manpower to zero). I tend to find this technique fails more often than surrounding the port and nuking everything else, but it definitely uses fewer nukes.

So I got the achievement where u have to sink the capital ships but not sink the British pride lol

28:16 " Shore bombardment"

1581, with the signing of the Plakkaat van Verlatinge (a document that inspired the Declaration of Independence).

"So this is a very unusual thing that happens quite often..."

20:46 Okay, everything achieved that needed to be achieved

>liberated >implying they wanted to be saved

nice video! I also heard you say "volk en vaderland". It was funny since I speak dutch. you almost nailed it volk was almost perfectly correct. and with vaderland you actually said (in dutch) "vederlend" I think its was really funny the first time I heard you say it but I have to congratulate you on almost nailing it xD.

when i went for the united netherlands achievement i did the focus that gives you wargoals against lux and belgium and then let the germans invade france through my territory and i got all of france also used only dutch east indies manpower

It's a trick question They've never been freed

the southern half in September 1944 and the rest at the end of the war so mai 1945 because of the failing battle of Arnhem

Quick tip do not go to limited conscription when he says before the defeatist leader because you’ll still need to switch back

It is a 2-part answer honestly. The southern part was liberated by the americans in september 1944, while the rest was liberated in may 1945

@FeedBackGaming: May I compliment you on your butchery of the Dutch language? I expected way worse but you held firm. Groeten uit Brabant, btw.

Netherlands was liberated in 15th of Feb 1943, when Germany gave Netherlands all of northern France.

Realized I wasn't subscribed even though I watch a ton of your videos! Fixed that nice and quick.

You know once I was able to break a couple of enemy bombers with just about 700 of my convoys. Let's take it a little further... *A convoy challenge* I don't know how, but you *must* do it because this is the new state law.

Me: *reads the title* Also me: *80 year war in history flashbacks* just don’t be Spain and you might have a chance.... might

"goodbye yogscast" FBG 2019

Its been years since i played the game time to start the hobby again.

Well it isn't exact but I got 1 to 360 convoys from calculating in my head

Great. I really enjoyed this, #Gekoloniseerd

Im gona be part of the first 100k subs from this amazing RU-vid, noice

Operation market garden planned to libérate It in 1944 however due to that failures they waited till they got Up north from normandy

The gouwden eeuw was the 1700 we won against UK 3 times

the south of the Netherlands was liberated in 1944 and the north in 1945 :)

FeedBackGaming please use the Philippines and defeat the axis , become a world power or just survive and expand while still being democratic or to monarchy. Use any mod in HOI4

if you rush gateway to Europe you can declare on Luxembourg and Belgium months before Danzig or War, Then you can take nearly all of France when you decide to attack

14 september 1944 American troops liberate Maastricht. On the 17th of september the allied troops fight the battle of Arnhem. The north of the Netherlands was next and got liberated in April 1945. West Netherlands was the last part that got liberated on the 5th of may 1945 at 8:00 in the morning

he listened

put snorkel on your submarines if any enemy has warships only put radar if the enemies have no military fleet left i tested this thorougly and if the enemy has even crappy 1936/'39 DDs with poor depthcharging ... your subs desperately need the lower visibility versus 1936 DDs my subs with radar took big losses same combat but with my subs equipped with snorkell results in almost no casualties my subs were able to flee / deal more damage till they got sunk in conclusion: always go for shnorkell unless the enemy fleet is gone

Tiny litrle trick if somebody watches this to try it out: if you ask germanny for belgium just before they enter france you will get all of france because the germans advance from your teritorry so you just have to ask them earlier

1988. When Van Basten scored the winning goal in the semi of the Euro's.

"The AI's quite smart" 🤔

Netherlands was liberated partly in 1944 then whole in 1945

The Netherlands liberation started in the second half of 1944('Hunger Winter'). And was officially liberated in 1945 4-5 May('Liberation Day, National Remembrance Day)

I'm sure someone else mentioned this but when asking for control over occupied territories you can watch the green checkmark to know whether or not they'll accept

The comments all say 1945. I'm not a native speaker so as I understood it, the question "when was the Netherlands liberated from the Germans?" to me was an euphemism for "when did the Nazis conquer the Netherlands?" (or liberated them from non fascist rule). So does anybody know?

Ok I’m really confused so I have the two ship achievements but I can’t get the United Netherlands.

B I J N A G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Thanks Mr. Gaming. Good vid.....keep them a comin'!

I attempted to do the easy achievement of United Netherlands.... It got me into a war with the UK. And France. I annexed them both with my epic gamer netherland powers. Then I was attacked by Japan. I took them too including all of China. Then I got into a war with the USA because they joined the allies. I never got the peace deal.... I never got the achievement........

We were liberated on the 4th of may. And so we still celebrate this on that day. And on the 5th of may we stand still for 2 minutes for all war victims

5th of May 1945! Called 'Bevrijdingsdag', translated Liberation Day. Every year there's a big ceremony on the 4th of May in Amsterdam to honor those who have fallen. The 5th of May is a day of celebrarion, where there are lots of free festivals in many cities throughout the country.

"Goodbye Yogscast" LMAO

You can also get putting the raid on Medway to shame by simply having Britain have a civil war in which the fascists will have no ships thus you get the achievement, Correct me if I’m wrong.

Lad this is a great video. You are deffo the best hoi4 dude and deserve way more subs.

South of the Rhine was liberated in 1944, the North in 1945 but there were still German soldiers fighting in the Netherlands, for example in the Lighthouse on Texel there were still German soldiers fighting even though the German government had surrendered.

A-cheese-ment!

22:35 The convoy ratio would be HOL 1 : 358 ENG

The south was september 22nd (?) 1944 and the north was on the 5th of may 1945.

I started doing this then just sealioned in 1940 and won in August. I lost most of my subs but totally worth it.

well... i was going to like this video, then i noticed, you failed to take wales. how could you let my ancestors fall under german rule.

as a dutch man this brings me joy

7 months late, but when I tried to get the achievement for United Netherlands, on 2 Iron Man tries, France capitulate to me twice lol, and I also took down the Brits on my second with only 24 Inf Division

1945 and in mei it was fully liberated. They also sended out some airborn troops in 1944 for observation all across the netherlands germany belgium and futher country's

"Defence against the British"? He chooses to go for 'de verkeerde kant'??

1945, the south in 144, but they got stuck after operation Market Garden failed, after which a thing followed we now call the Hunger winter, (the north starved, massive migrations to the eastern rural areas) The north and east got liberated in 1945

I just did this achievement and just made tac bombers with max range. The British couldn’t even hide
