This documentary series will forever be remembered by me as the series that got me through many sleepless nights in quarantine. This on TV with a cold glass of icetea and some left-over dinner was all I needed to get me through the night.

You can say whatever you want about the germans, but the battle of France was an absolute masterpiece.

*"How about **_E7_** ?"* *"DAMMIT YOU SANK MY WEHRMACHT"*

I chose to watch this solely on the picture. His expression says a lot

Market Garden is a perfect example of the fact that you shouldn't get sloppy just because you're winning.Although the generals knew that their opponent was still the Wehrmacht, they wanted to end this quickly and "elegantly".

Love the documentaries, don't love ads every 3 minutes.

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.” Leonardo da Vinci.

Excellent work! Many thanks for posting such interesting material

Mark Felton would have told this story so much better.

great footage!!!

The massive amount of recourses to build this pocket battle ship,and they scuttle the ship .we will look back in history,and be amazed at the resources needed to build these massive battle ships.great video shame about the many many many adverts

Why oh why do they persistently interrupt my much loved ads with this programme about the war it's not like I want to watch anything else but the ads .

“The Japanese can’t flank us! There’s no bloody road over there!” Japanese walk through jungle.

What a captivating narrative - superb!

I wish they used flags on the table instead of orange and green it’s gets a little confusing

Again, far too many ads... Timeline has ads about every 4-5 minutes. That's excessive by any measure. Come on, YT!

Now do this, but for every battle that has ever taken place throughout the entirety of human history.

Beaky and the other guy , moving bits of cardboard really help...🙄

I think considering just how much went wrong during Market Garden, and yet it still so nearly worked - the craziness of it is overstated

Great 👍

Thanks dude great upload!

TY

Well done

Dunkirk: Only the British could find a way to celebrate running away. "Brave. brave, brave, brave Sir Robin."

The German armys found out that you eventually have to come down from a meth high.

Batlle of Kurk and Stalingrad are missing. It's a very British centric view of the war.

I wonder how much valuable, high grade steel was wasted in the over sized battleships that barely sunk anything? Imagine how many tanks they could build with the tonnage in those ships hulls.

There goes the two guys with the oversee board acting tough again

In the segment of Japanese Invasion of Malaya, the story of two British warships, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince Of Wales suppose to be included. I'm sure a lot of peoples in this planet don't know how and where is the HMS Prince Of Wales battleship end up. HMS Prince of Wales battleship ever encounter the German battleship Bismarck and caused some damage on Bismarck. That battleship should not miss out from history lines.

What digital tabletop game are those two playing the whole time? Looks fun

Now that I'm watching this. The documentaries I spoke of earlier were on the military channel not history.

I think your Maps should show more than flat topography . I would appreciate some sense of elevation and forest, etc

what sounstracks did you guys use?

Excellent !!! However, AH no body, no death 💀

What town is Neishmeegin? Never heard of such a place.

Where did they get the music from? I think it is cool.

too nice history video...war stages are consisting from collection several Battels some of them in chain occurring others of them in separate times and far from each others ...victory of Limited separate battel are not changing defeat result of war stage

wow saying the Japanese executed blitzkrieg better than the creators is quite a bold statement!

Happy saw Germany in late 60's. Very historical.

"War Deciding Battles: River Plate, Market Garden...." ..... well ..... no

2:34 What's the point of having hexes on the game board if you're just going to ignore them?

Fresh troops is the most important factor in a long battle,

After the debacle of Market Garden, Why wasn’t Monty sacked?

"That's a pretty good painting, you should take classes here"

The amount of ads in this is absolutely ridiculous

The evacuated French Troops did not remain in Britain, most went back to France

I dont think theres enough ads

How many bloody adverts does this channel want? I only just skipped an advert and then I have to skip another advert after 5 mins and the adverts are 2 mins long! This channel has so many great titles but I can’t stand how often I need to keep skipping ads

Dam Humble documentary from the British

4:05. A few days grace? How many days....would you say....3 days?

I was unaware the Admiral Harwood had 4 destroyers in the Battle of the River Plate, not sure why they didn't take part.

The French fought with more skill for the Germans than against them

31 minutes in there is note of failure to communicate presence of an SS formation. It it stated that allies know about this through communications intercept. Did I hear that there were other sources for this information?

35:13....it's "Gorden the Camel".

Those two unhappy, constipated men standing at the battle board may not add anything to this documentary, but I have to give credit where credit is due: the shirts they're wearing are probably the nicest bits of prison work detail clothing I've ever seen.

Why has noone ever told me about Nidge Maygun before? 😂😂😂😂

When the commentator is talking about the remind French troops' counter-attacks ............. @ 04':41" ... this movie is actually showing a group of Polish Army officers at the French railway station. WHY ??

Nice ad. Where is the video?

I love this channel but I hate it because of too many commercials

Good doc. Map segments,, not so much.

I think they should have used little flags on the maps but interesting.

They are good documentaries but sometimes the film is far from accurate. They just seem to use what they have at hand. The Market Garden footage is mostly of German units from the Ardennes battles. They could of made more of an effort with getting the period footage right.

00:13 unless its a stalemate. Not every battle has a clear winner and loser. Now every war, thats a different story.

31:07 Hey thats HANZ!

No channel does it better then this channel!!!

A military masterpiece that led to the Holocaust....

I hate the tabletop maps in these programs. The shots don’t last very long, the camera is constantly moving, and there are usually no geographic markers/identifiers so you can’t tell what you’re looking at or which way is north or anything. Those map shots are worse than useless.

TIMELINE tries to make moral equivalents in some of their arguments. So it is with Bomber Harris and the bombing of German cities in WWII. My uncle endured the bombing of the Luftwaffe during the Blitz and I can tell you from his explanations that bombing does wear you down. It takes a toll on the individual. Sure you put on a brave face but holding your children and covering their ears while hunkering down night after night in the London underground was no walk in th park. Ask any German who lived in Hamburg or Dresden while it was being bombed by the British and I'm sure he/ she will say it took a terrible toll on their morale. WWII was TOTAL WAR. It was an existential war of civilian attrition as well as that of destroying the enemies armies. Bomber Harris was right in his use of bombers to demoralize the enemy and kill civilians as well as combatants. The only time you stop bombing is when you RUN OUT OF BOMBS or you capitulate or the enemy capitulates and sues for peace. BTW, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not entirely about destroying Japan's war-making industrial capability. It also served to demoralize the Japanese military & the Japanese people who soon realized the futility of carrying on the war.

33:14..." It should never had happened. "

These are the 4 catastrophic main battles why Germany lost the war first the battle of the Atlantic 2nd was the battle of Britain crushed the Germany's control of the sky's 3 Rd the winter of 1941 then most devastating for his best force the central army grinded up in Stalingrad after that they could no longer attack on large enough capacity to turn it around and we're on the defensive from there out specially after the Kursk tank disaster it was game over

Hi everyone, good luck everyone

Omg the Timeline ads

There is a video in your add mate

Also: the Graf Spee is not a battleship. It should only ever be referred to as a heavy cruiser, panzerschiff, or pocket battleship. Calling it a battleship and nothing else is misleading, even when you've already referred to it as a pocket battleship. The Kreigsmarine is a difficult enough fleet to understand due to restriction dodging and the ridiculously high calibre cruisers pertinent to it. Please don't confuse the issue further.

The two guys😂 acting career fit that lol

Monte wanted all the action to be centered on himself. He treated Eisenhower like he did Alexander. Monte is entirely overrated.

I get so confused on which guy is for the allies.

No, iran was not "then persia" in the 40s. Persia wasnt a thing after the ottomans fell.

Forcing the Graf Spee to committ suicide was hardly war deceiding

the Belgians SURRENDERED ON MAY 18TH-they wernt surrounded

READ BELOW......this is something that they tend to forget in the BRITISH history books......

90 tusind french troops was send too a return too Frence, and go in too captativity. Nowone talk abaut that issue

The RAF was a disaster over Dunkirk, Churchill wasn't trying to send all his fighters because he knew Britain was next...

Hitler's mistakes are the following three. (1) Why didn't you beat England to the fullest? (2) It was stupid to fight the Soviet Union (3) Why did you neglect the Navy?

Market Garden is an eternal monument to Monty's stupidity. No one trusted him after that idiocy. Which probably won the war. So there's that, at least.

Convoy war

hmm even in war time the brits respected the netural nation of argentina and allowed the that german captain to port there he prob should of went out gunz a blazing and rammed a ship or two

The Japanese took Malaya like playing a game of Go [so-called "Chinese chess"].

Every time he pronounces Nijmaigen...(pronounced Nye-maigen)....as "NIDJZ-MAIGEN'...eeyyiicchh....it's like nails down a chalkboard....why people try to be clever in this department i'll never understand.

Wonder iff its because they were all on a pervitin comedown as well!!

I want that table in my basement

might as well put this on regular T.V. what with the ads every 5 minutes.

BELOW..ARE SOME FACTS THAT WERE LEFT OUT OF THIS DOCUMENTRY......LET ME FULL YOU IN.........YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT I SAY..,.BUT IT'S ALL TRUE......

It hurts my native german ears how they speel the german names in that episode.

Every one of your videos has at least 5 advertisement breaks. This one had none. Must be special.

Poor Langsdorff, an honourable and humane man.

At least he pronounced "Wehrmacht" properly."

Why don't you cram in some more ads

Market Garden was doomed from the beginning when the paratroopers were dropped not on the bridges but at least 7 miles from them. Montgomery's original plan was thwarted by I believe the air forces refusal to endure the flak where the soldiers needed to end up. It was Montgomery's fault for not scrapping the assault when his actual plan was sabotaged this way. Far as the meeting on the Elbe of US & Russian Troops, that was no accident and had been arranged by Stalin so as to give him a head start in his take over of as much territory as he could get.

I don't know why people are so amazed with Japans' quick expansion at the beginning of the war. Their victories were against an unprepared foe. Once they had to face and equally prepared and equipped enemy, they were stopped cold.
