When Tourist Boats Attacked The Royal Navy 

Ok

I'm waiting

Pog

Contribution of India during the world wars pls

Siege of Bastogne?

@@Taistelukalkkuna This is a great reference to USA Karen soldiers arriving in Sicily

did you see the japanese tourists???

Lol

Don't even look at the Australians...

Don’t talk about the north koreans

nice pfp

Italian Navy Frogmen: hold my pasta

@@death2304 hold my wine

And then lost the war. So the same.

@@cristsan4171 they did indeed. And Italy earned a lot of the memes against it (for the best, really, I would much prefer the Axis Powers being hamstrung by an incompetent member that tried to modernize way too early than the alternative). However, the frogmen did seem to know what they were doing for the most part. So it is perhaps fortunate that their talents lay in a niche area with limited applications.

The Kriegsmarine was too busy sinking ships with their U-Boats

@@vermas4654 Apparently, I am correct and you agree; the Kriegsmarine was not a particularly creative branch of the German military when it came to 'special operations'.

They tried something similar as a last ditch effort in 1945, trying to ram enemy ships with explosive boats, but had no success on the endeavour

@@riograndedosulball248 Too little and to late to have any effect on the outcome of The War.

@@theallseeingmaster they were pretty creative in other ways tho. But they didn't really have the need or possibilities for larger special operations. They did their job of sinking ships in the Atlantic and that very well

I hate the French nene. They fought bravely

lol

They also won on horses vs tanks. They just had poor generals and were the worst industrial nation

@@JohnnyLodge2 Didn't italy purposely attack countries they know they could win against so they had high winning streaks?

Italian forces in Ethiopia: Am I a joke to you?

What can i say they are just cracked at fortnight

no one who lives anywhere on the british isles says guys

@@samwessels8216 yep, they say chaps Probably, I think

@@fennisiaw they don’t I live in England

@@exsniperyt2823 then i guess its just a stereotype

Yeah it would benefit from yarnhubs new and better graphics

Definitely do that

I was thinking of Mad Jack?

Yeah mad jack would be great for a reboot

make it another sabaton crossover while they're at it!

really, I also was surprised for that, I suppose thats basically best performed operation you could perform if you task is to destroy a ship, not crew

No respect to them for serving a facists regime

@@callgarr7314 they had no choice at the time,they either thought: hmm being in the army and supporting my country is good! Or they were forced to,either way at least think about what your saying before replying

@@callgarr7314 That's ignorant. Did you even read the part about fighting the Germans?

@@brokenshadowpr0 being in the army and supporting my country is good? Does that also count if your country is an evil regime committing genocide? Not that I agree with the person you replied to but what you just said wasn't very well thought through...

@@olisko3484 bro, propaganda exists, also that regime hides most bad stuff about itself from its population

cuz they have modern cruiser like duca and modern battleship like littorio but never dominate the Mediterranean vs British old battleship and france old one, but italian tried then sunked by swordfish

The problem is the incompetent commander and officers

The Italians had their moments that shine during ww2

@@wake-zj8xp yeah ... For invading somalia

Even though their entire fleet was focused in the Mediterranean they couldn't hold a candle to the Royal Navy that was spread out over every ocean on earth during WWII. These marines deserve respect, the actual Navy doesn't.

It's "si" in Italian, "oui" is french. ;-)

@@dunnydub382 quite obvious loLLL

@@dunnydub382 Yeah I am but they never taught us that in school.

@@memecliparchives2254 oof, they should've tho

The Allied. Because Italy surrendered and the Italians gave up the war.

@@cristsan4171 I don't think he is talking about the war but the scenerio

@@danishkfd Which one? The pizza

@@danishkfd let him talk,he s probably the type that disrespect some heroic actions done by friends or foe with the excuse of "the allies wins the war so it's fine"

one tanker and a cruiser?

Armchair Historian does the same, he makes complete videos from other prespective of important battles

''sad in vietnamese"

Yep.... for a while I thought the opposite when they only uploaded us vids but now I am happy to see Italians and most possibly Germans one day :D (see I know they did horrible stuff but you've got to admit that they were total beasts during the war)

@@FNihalJK *They Did Do German Stories In Some Previous Videos. And Japanese Ones. (Yup, Got To Admit, Their Tactics Were Smart.)*

Don't forget about the Compagnie Auto-Avio-Sahariane or Auto-Saharan Companies which the British modeled their Long Range Desert Group after and who had more than a few tussles with during the desert campaign.

I asked but still no

Il fatto è che purtroppo queste imprese sono state compiute da Eroi Italiani… se fossero stati inglesi avrebbero avuto l’onore e la gloria che meritano

I am

Yeah I am

@Britishempirewillneverdie funfact : my maternal great grandpa was a british person and he served in the British army and my paternal grandpa was Italian and he served in Italian army. So simply I don't give a f

@Britishempirewillneverdie and also if the Italians had supplies we won't be alive remember that

you haven't heard about the raid on Alexandria then

@@1nv15BL3 I did.

Well...they invented it.

They're like fanatic soviet but on German side

These suckish people are called "haters" (or they could be trolls). Although I don't see any reasonable excuse for them to be haters in an excellent channel like Yarnhub.

@@billbaba6994 why would they dislike an educational video anyway? Seems rather odd

@@kingken130 if their history teacher recommended it?

@@ivangenov6782 a history teacher recommending a video 3-4 hours after it was uploaded? Sounds like an awesome teacher.

@@AlreadyTakenTag I wasn't serious but if someone did that, yes i agree with you

I agree

"What am I s'pose to do spit at em!?"

The first nuke was almost dropped by Lancasters as the B-29 modifications were running behind schedule

Yes plz

Yes!

Yes! The whole last half of the vid, I kept saying, "That is so cool.. that is so cool..." I love unexpected innovation and esp the fact no one died!

Not just one, this, Alexandria and more

Another fun fact that after the Germans retreated from Africa Rommel said that is was thanks to the brave fighting of the Italians that they made it out

It wasn't the soldiers, it was the generals and the equipment Italy could afford, thr soldiers were actually brave and well trained

quick reminder they invented afterburners

They also designed and built some of the finest aircraft in the world during the war.

@@TraustiGeir Biplanes...yeah..not exactly in fashion by the 1940s. Yes I realize they made many monoplanes, but they were weak compared to their allied counterparts.

@@igameidoresearchtoo6511 They really weren't. They made some of the best monoplane fighters of the war, they just couldn't make enough of them. From Wikipedia on the C 202 ( According to aviation author David Mondey, the Folgore has been considered to be one of the best wartime fighters to serve in large numbers with the Regia Aeronautica. In combat, it very quickly proved itself to be an effective and deadly dogfighter against its contemporaries. During mid-1942, in North Africa, the Folgore achieved a ratio kill/loss better than that of the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Australian ace Clive Caldwell, who fought a wide variety of German, Italian and Japanese fighters during 1941-45, later stated that the C.202 was "one of the best and most undervalued of fighters".) C 205 (Capt. Eric Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, RN, Chief Naval Test Pilot and C.O. Captured Enemy Aircraft Flight, remembered how they were impressed when they tested the Veltro. "One of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi MC. 205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of Italian styling and German engineering. I believe it was powered by a Daimler Benz DB 605. It was really a delight to fly, and up to anything on the Allied programme. But again, it came just before the Italians capitulated so it was never used extensively. And we did tests on it and were most impressed. The cockpit was smallish but not as bad as the Bf 109.") From wikipedia on the G 55 (The Fiat G.55 was arguably the best type produced in Italy during World War II, but it did not enter production until 1943, when, after comparative tests against the Messerschmitt Bf 109G and the Focke-Wulf 190, the Luftwaffe itself regarded the Fiat G.55 as "the best Axis fighter".) From wikipedia on the Re.2005 (Grp Cpt. Duncan Smith, DSO, DFC, a British fighter pilot and fighter leader of World War II, greatly respected the Re.2005, "The Re.2005 'Sagittario' was a potent aircraft. Having had a dog-fight with one of them, I am convinced we would have been hard pressed to cope in our Spitfires operationally, if the Italians or Germans had had a few Squadrons equipped with these aircraft at the beginning of the Sicily campaign or in operations from Malta. Fast, and with excellent manoeuvrability, the Re.2005 was altogether a superb aeroplane".)

@@igameidoresearchtoo6511Italian industries made some strategic mistakes by developing biplanes instead of testing monoplanes. First of all, the chronic lack of resources has forced our best engineers to produce models more economically than their other counterparts. And the early thirties proved them right, our planes were very competitive and earned the fame of long-range flights with Air Marshal Italo Balbo. The Ethiopian war in 1936 and the civil war in Spain demonstrated that our CR32 and CR42 fighters were better than the Soviet Polikarpov biplanes or other equivalent biplanes. This created a kind of blindness towards future aircraft designs which we paid dearly for, because we lacked strategic mass production and even when they developed monoplane aircraft designs, the air-cooled piston engines suffered from instability, they could not be equipped with compressors and therefore the rate of climb was terrible, and even when it was possible to obtain a valid and fast aircraft in an unloaded attitude, as soon as the machine guns or bombs were mounted, we returned to the previous defects. Already in 1938 our air force was outdated and the first alarm bell was the disastrous campaign in England alongside the Luftwaffe. No aerial victories, many flight accidents and planes wearing out very quickly. We started too late in developing modern aircraft. Yet in 1943 the qualitative gap was filled, but there were too few of them to effectively counter the excessive power of the Allied fighters. However, our pilots were not inferior in preparation and combat tactics to those of the Allies or Germans, but valor cannot hide technical deficiencies for long. (Ettore Muti, a great pilot, but unfortunately also a war criminal of the Italian Social Republic, led a group of SM82 bombers to bomb the English refineries in Barhain in 1940) yet there has been no shortage of brilliant projects. The only Italian long-range bomber, the Piaggio P108, a four-engined aircraft which, before the USAF flying fortresses and the RAF AVRO Lancasters, was equipped with automatic turrets controlled electrically by the pilot. Only one squadron was built and between breakdowns and bad use (only four P108s used for a raid on Gibraltar!) it could not influence the strategic outcomes of the war in any way.

I like how no one cares Italy was the first one to use frogmen and afterburners. Like, they are completely ignoring every time Italy was successful during ww2 and focusing only on battles where the Italian troops were either outnumbered or had a technological disadvantage.

Thanks 🙏

Hahahahhahahahahahah

Lmao

history is written by the winners. But what italians did, litterally with a despicable equipment and most of the time highly outnumbered, was never done by the Allies that had all the possible equipment and mens. If people will only read what Italians did in Alexandria harbor, Giarabub, Tel el Eisa, Bir el Gubi, El Alamein, Nikolajevka and Izbushensky, i thing that people will change their prespecrive regarding how they see the Italian army in WWII...no other Natuon was able to do what they did there, basically with nothing.

Everybody gangsta until the under water speaks italian

Except the Bismarck had eight 380mm cannons

@@Groza_Dallocort Ik, I believe they must've reused the turret design

*WW2 Expert*

@@cjclark2002 It's a name .-.

Comparing Yarnhub's with IRL pictures of the York the turrets are different. Though, I don't blame them. Their videos are already awesome anyways!

I saw that, tho it would have been more appropriate to use the "gesto dell' ombrello"

Get well soon !

@@Yarnhub AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU ANSWERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What is their name

More to come!

Tbh this only one of the few of italy being useful alot other time italy will be useless like example the german got force to join the battle at africa cause italy cannot hold their own that for make the german loss good amount of soldier to attack soviet and one of theirs best general erwin rommel bur again the italian not that bad at africa rommel said that the italian actually was a brave soldier so they not useless in a way but not good either PS:i just remember when italy join the war in one battle 9 or 6 french unit fight Against 2000 italian all the french surrender but not before killing Hundred of italian

​@@aryandrasetiawan5386 It's amazing how so many people think they would have done much better in the battle of Adwa. I dare everyone that says Italy was ineffective to challenge 100k Ethiopian soldiers supplied by the Russians with only 15k soldiers at your command.
