I did not know that Taiwan was a possible invasion site. I imagine that having an American occupation force on Taiwan at the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War would have made for some interesting history.

They all copied the Germans MG42 and their tactics even to this very day.

While I own a lot of handguns, and enjoy them all, the 1911 just has that special place in my handgun heart. I have this strange feeling that 100 years from now when crusty old guys are sitting around a camp fire talking about all the great semi autos of the past at least a few of them will still have a 1911 hung on their belt. As far as I'm concerned the 1911 is not only a very capable self defense gun, even after 113 years, but it's still the best looking semi auto out there. Browning was not only a mechanical genius when it came to firearms, but he had a eye for beauty.

why did only Germany get the memo #philosophy

Who is going to be the "Oskar Schindler" of 2024 ....??????

I've been reading and watching ww2 related stuff for 3 decades. The levels of evil are unfathomable. And it makes angry how people today cheapen what took place during that time by accusing everyone that they disagree with of being Fascist or Nazis. People really need to get a grip.

Why is this censored? Is there anywhere I can watch this as the documentary makers intended, uncensored? Shame on KZfaq for trying to revise history.

Hopefully the armorer from “RUST” was not in charge.

Mark Clark is a disgrace

Started out OK but then change of subject to rehash Midway and Tobrouk. Guys if you didn't know what to talk about, how about the shipbuilding program or the pilot training program

I carried the M60 in 1984 as a newbie Combat Engineer. for six months . I did not like it because it was unreliable and it was easy to put together wrong. To change the hot barrel you had to replace it with your hands using gloves. Better to have adopted the MG42.

5:05 Aren't you glad Dan Snow and his History Hits Channel is now charging you for these free YT videos? And saying it's just like Netflix. And you get a temp of 50% off for the videos on Warstories. What a deal. No thank you Dan. (He's a world renowned historian according to his advertisement on another channel he's trying to take over.). A bit egocentric, eh?

It always starts with the british man

With the dated CGI, I was suspecting that this documentary was quite old, but when they showed the unrestored hull of the Tiger 131, I knew for sure

Whilst I respect the importance of historians for such documentaries-- switching to on-screen individuals in libraries and offices, essentially verbalising what the narrator offers/can offer himself (understandably, partly facilitated by such historians) -- it spoils the flow and dynamics for me. This narrator is very listenable/complimentary on his own.

That's unfair, a SAW against Jesse James.

It's a shame that we can't get the Negev to our guys. Light weight, single & full auto and extremely reliable. Oh yeah, Tannerite is so over played!

What a time

After 2011 revolution in Egypt isreal prime minister tlak many times about peace treaty with Egypt and any body must keep it safe .why he is so afraid from Egypt why America eager to keep Egypt under control Why they are so terrifying from egypt

Clark's real comeuppance might have been that his move into Rome happened on D-Day, so almost no one noticed.

M60 ?

Having talked to hundreds of WW2 veterans I can tell you that every one of them would have gone to their home island and wade into them stacking the enemy like cords of wood. They also said that the public was right there with them. So I take issue with the narrator when he says the American government feared the public might tire of a prolonged war.

Hot garbage if you don't speak French. 👎

Time of Tanks is over. What ever how much powerful it is.. Drones are the future.

Ends up with a hairball sounds like a English fairytale 😂😂😂

PLEASE, WHEN is this series going to end? These shows are NOT worth re-showing!

You forgot the MG34, which was havier and way more expensive to produce than the MG42.

I like how they made it look like the host was explaining to the rso why each guy was less accurate with the saw lol

Canadians used the Lewis gun too

Ww2 in a nutshell: German, Italian and Japanese walk into a BAR.

Maxims are still used in Ukraine right now. Talk about immortal weapons...

A maxum is not light.

first

Plus if pump action hand is injured its problem

I wish KZfaq didn’t force censorship. People NEED to see the harsh reality of war. It’s the best teacher.

Stop censoring images!

Brit tank crew ...tea time

karl max doctrines embraced by a monster ,, instead of freeing the working class it enslaved them all ,,,in the end it was a disaster for all mankind

The Greatest Generation is a fitting title. I spent four years at sea and there is nowhere to hide out there.That's why I think you will see more warships in the future that are semi- submersible but still able to instantly transform into surface units. I know it sounds like Jules Verne or something...

Rip all

He was a successful ,, because somehow he had a few loyalists acting as a spy for him ,, and a great concealer,,all that fear for him lead to his dead eventually ,, nobody dared to disturb him on his last day ,,, as it could have saved his life….his intelligence on japan eventually saved Russia

Americans are watching this documentary. I personally hope everyone watches this!!!

There are plenty of psychotic doctors in the United States today. They CHOP OFF the genitals of children. Others murder babies in the womb. Very sick... very psychotic

My father remembers the night Coventry was bombed from 20 miles away.
