@JZ's BFF with a tricorn hat lol

Kilroy was curious..

George Washington ?

It was Woody from Toy Story

@JZ's BFF how do you do that picture pls I wanna know

I can only imagine the pants-filling terror that they must have felt seeing infantry, armor, and aircraft being used at the same time

@@outdoorscholar6016 Definitely something the Allies weren’t prepared for at the time.

@@outdoorscholar6016 They knew what'd happened in Poland. I'd say they knew that the Nazis were sitting on something and sort-of what it was, but not what it would be to actually fight it. The allied fighting force should however not be underestimated, the French armored corps was so big it would've been able to compete with the German one and despite what the myths tell you, they weren't bundled up in the Maginot because they thought it'd protect them against Germany, no. It was to redirect an attack against France long enough for them to prepare properly. People sadly forget this fact and for the truly amateur historian, it was a German "blitzkrieg" that brought the Allies to their knees, all thanks to superior German tactics and equipment.

While I’m not a historian, from what I have heard and read, the British and French were not overwhelmed blitzkrieg as many people believe but had underestimated how quickly the Germans could move through the dense forest terrain of the Ardennes.

@@chuckbuck5002 I never said they were overwhelmed but yes that is correct. They underestimated the Germans and the Germans managed to encircle the entire BEF (British Expeditionary Force) and France’s best armies, leading both Allies to abandon their prepared trenches and defenses. This would later led them to either be killed, captured, or led them to flee from Dunkirk beach.

I just clocked him 🤣🤣🤣

He is from 1776

I just saw as soon as i looked into comment😅

I didn't know Redcoats were in WW2

🤣

Yeah, I noticed that. Nice try corner.

I jus commented about dat too... lol

How/Why is this the wrong period?

​@@mombaassa close to the end of the video If you look behined him at the metal fence you can see someone with a hat that was commonly used during the 17th century looking over it for a second before disapearing

@@Niedzwiedz_f Yes. I see him now. Thanks! 👍

@@mombaassa your welcome.

​@@Niedzwiedz_f I was thinking WTF when I seen that too.

By playing the role of a WWII soldier in the BEF, he IS an actor.

I think he is acting sir

@@johnpettifuctardsightlessa2707 yes I know, im talking about in major motion pictures.

​@@donniev8181anyone with half a brain knows that what you mean. These antagonist fools had to be just trolling you.

Thanks guys. Appreciate you.

Yankee doodle

What do you mean?

​@@mombaassa probs means the revolutionary war chap who pops up at the end

@@carzy6073 Oh, I see. Thanks! 👍🏻

Usually, at the start of EVERY war, the side that's on the "defence" IS fighting the wrong war. It often takes a few weeks or months to adjust to the attackers tactics.

@@castleanthrax1833 I'm talking about the Guy in the Background that poped his head up.

Corporal Nauyokas

It's not semi-aoutomatic. It's a bolt action.

​@Sergio Rodriguez tell that to the Germans who got struck by the mad minute

@@serge430 I’ve used one. Bolt has some witchcraft going on that makes it so that the handle snaps open. Basically the fastest bolt action you can make

​@@serge430by a well trained section, as far as the germans knew, they were being hit by semi automatic. The Enfield was really quick to cock compared to other bolt action rifles.

@@ethanedwards422even a well trained section will be inaccurate and non-synced in a combat situation that it becomes pretty clear theyre bolt actions.

SMLE Mk. I rifles were issued in WW2, alongside No.4's. During the war, you can tell if the soldier is a 'gentleman' (a junior officer) because of his SMLE, or a 'grunt' (issued a newer rifle, or if he's unlucky enough, a Sten). Contrast that to US doctrine (Sergeants and senior officers were usually issued M1 carbines, M1 Thompson submachine guns or a shotgun) and Soviet doctrine (Officers, especially politruks, usually carry enemy weapons alongside their sidearms, out of necessity. The most common enemy weapons used by Soviet officers were the Hungarian 35M rifle, the ZB vz. 24 Mauser rifle, the MP38/MP40 submachine gun, the Arisaka Type 99 short rifle, and the Suomi KP31. PPSh guns were not exclusive for officers and are actually just issued to lots of soldiers who were brave to clear out rooms. Sniper rifles are issued to those who exhibited impeccable shooting skills.)

.303 is a big cartridge, the third largest/powerful infantry cartridge in use in ww2 only smaller than the 30-06 and 8mm Mauser

..It wasn't used at all unless you count WP. The Germans use mostly horse transport still and couldn't afford getting hammered with gas attacks and lose all their horses.

​@@louisavondart9178Against the British, no. There was some limited usage of chemical weapons against the Soviets by the Germans (most likely local commanders taking initiative rather than a top down command) and somewhat extensive usage against the Chinese by the Japanese. There were also situations like the sinking of the John Harvey where soldiers could be exposed to poison gas. In that case, German bombers blew up a cargo ship transporting mustard gas to Italy. While both sides refrained from using chemical weapons, both kept them ready to respond in kind of the other side used them. It has been said that Hitler refused to allow the usage of chemical weapons because of his experiences in WWII. And probably had had an impact, but I would put my money on it being much more impactful that the Nazis knew that if they used poison gas the enemy would respond in kind and in much greater volumes. Imagine if those thousand bomber raids had some mustard gas, phosgene etc mixed in.

He said 1940, so no worries there, yet

Thats a cockney accent (London)

They actually did. This is known at Pattern 1937 uniform. It's much shorter and tighter fitting than their WW1 era uniforms. The British were the first fully mechanised army in the world and this uniform reflects that as it was designed to not get caught on vehicles now that soldiers would constantly be mounting and dismounting. It's ugly but was very practical. Eisenhower loved it and had his personal tailor make him a jacket based on the British uniform. It's the short cut jacket he's wearing in most photos of him.

😂😂😂😂

Having worn and used both extensively in reenactment and tacticals I disagree. British battledress is way more practical and comfortable in the field and the p37 web gear was light years ahead of the US. It’s the first truly universal modular system whereas the US still had different pouches for different roles within the squad. Not to mention the Americans still wearing ties and dress shirts in combat in 1941😂 by the end of the war with the 43 field jacket you might have an argument. The American helmet is better albeit. But I would choose British battledress over US field dress any day. It’s also warmer

@@bryanandrews7391 "reenactment and tacticals I disagree" So you've never worn a battle dress for more that a few hours.

Those helmets were designed to protect against shrapnel more than anything else
