Great video again how about the bismark story or the graf spee

Great video thank you! Can you make a video for the naval battle of Elli and Limnos? With the legendary Battleship G. Averof

And yet today, Macron has traitorously invited Islamic invasion into France. All the work of Charles Martel has been erased by socialist elites.

we Norwegians have everything to thank Captain Leif Olsen and the crew of the guard boat Pool III. Pool III was a small guard boat on neutrality watch that chose to do its duty. They managed to sound the alarm before they had to give up their superiority. The fact that Captain Olsen on Pool III managed to sound the alarm meant that Oskarsborg was told that foreign warships were on their way into Oslo Fjord and thus went on alert.

Why do you tell at the very beginning that Glorious was first detected by radar (wrong) and later in the video that the first detection was mada by a lookout (correct)?🤔

About the map. Why is Finland included in the Soviet Union? We were never a part of the SU, and fought three bloody wars to make sure we never would be.

There was a documentary back in the 80's or 90's that stated D'Oyly-Hughes left Norway earlier because he wanted to court martial the head of his air groups who kept trying to tell him how to run a carrier which he had no idea about never having flown, so he told the Admiralty he was low on fuel so he could leave early. Having no cap or air recon on the day seems to reinforce that idea and the fact the official reports on this remain sealed only adds to it.

Great Video. I don't want to be a grammar nazi, but "Schlachtschiffe" is plural. Gneisenau and Scharnorst were "Schlachtschiffe" (Battleships) but just 1 of them would be a Schlachschiff (Battleship). You get what I mean? E.g.: at 3:28 you say "...including the schlachtschiffe gneisenau..." but it should be just "schlachtschiff" without the e. You used the plural while only talking about a single ship. It's just a minor thing and all, so nothing crazy. I just wanted to clarify for the future.

Warships are surprisingly fragile. It doesn't take a lot of hits to score a mission kill and set up wrong (as in having ammunition and bombs and fuel strewn about) they can be destroyed very easily. Of note the Blucher despite its 16,000 tons it wasn't that strong of a ship. A lot of the weight was for the powerplant which was horridly inefficient and oversized but despite being one of the heaviest cruisers ever made on par with the USS Salem class, the Hippers only had about 3-3.5" armor tops and in many places far less to the Salem's 8" or more in their belts, turrets and conning tower. This is because the American double reduction gear allowed for far smaller (and faster rotating) turbines that didn't occupy the same space. You can see this difference in LA: visit the Queen Mary and see how massive those engines are noting that it only has a single reduction gear the turbines of that ship are the size of a house! When you visit the nearby USS Iowa which has a lot more power, the turbines are a tiny fraction of the size and can fit in a living room.

What did Albanians 🇦🇱 have before the Ottoman invasion? 1. Albanians had a University in 1380 in Durrës. To give you an idea: Germany opened its first university, 6 years after Durrës (Heidelberg University). 2. Albanians had 6 fully developed cities as much as Florence, Venice, Marseille or Paris. (Durrës, Shkodra, Drishti, Lezha, Berat and Preveza). 3. Albanians had the aristocratic class with 8 noble families (Balshaj, Topiaj, Muzakaj, Kastrioti, Arianiti, Zebenishta, Spataj and Dukagjini) connected by marriage even with the Habsburgs and the Bourbons. 4. Albanians had the humanist philosophers, who with their genius ideas, were advisers to the imperial families in Hungary, Italy and Austria (Gjon Gazhuli, Pal Ungjëlli, Leonik Tomeo and Gjon Durrsaku). 5. Albanian cities had statutes and were governed by democracy while at the same time America for example it was governed by the Cherokee Indians or the Aztec tribes who still drank human blood and lived as cannibals. 6. In Durrës, intellectualism was so high that we have documented in the 12th century for the first time the note of protest of an Orthodox Metropolitan, who writes to Constantinople, against slavery, 300 years before it started as a debate in Europe. 7. In Durrës, trade was done even with Tunisia, Ukraine and France, since the 5th century. While at the same time for example the Scandinavian countries still lived by worshiping the tree or the mountain. 8. The Church of Albania had issued a Cardinal (and a cardinal was no small thing then). What happened next? The Ottomans just came and for 500 years made that every Albanian forgot who they really were.

Japan: please don’t kill the messenger..

You would think that ships would sail in task forces back when combined arms in naval warfare mattered. Well, Germans were never that great with whole naval business to begin with. They sent two battleships without adequate scouts or screens resulting in a torpedo hits which took out BB for remainder of the war. Just bunch of raiders. They fought like raiders and died like ones too. Such a waste of resources and effort. German naval build up didn't mattered more than capturing Norway. All the rest was just submarine nuisance.

I got inspired by HOF's battle animation especially those cute ww2 battleships on how they animated that filled my room with huge lego ww2 ships, I even spent almost like $300 on just lego battleships, Assembling it all day and after, I display it, Its really worth it

My critique: Your sound effects are ludicrous. Real guns do not sound like tiny air paddles. Get a better sound sampler / set. I can make better sounds with my wanker puffer! 😂🤣👍

British navy always suck on German ship. They win only by fighting like a gang

A battle that only happened because of human stupidity, not because carriers were actually vulnerable to letting battleships get close enough to them to shoot.

Why are you wasting your time making these naval battle videos? Why don’t you make more interesting series like the German unification or Frederick the great? You are releasing an unnecessary amount of naval videos. I really love your channel and enjoy your videos, but please give us something different than these videos you’ve been releasing recently.

Man just imagine your luck when you are trying to escape only to fumble directly into the middle of an invasion fleet

Can you do the battle of manila bay? Thanks if you do it 😊

it seems that fear is an alien concept to the british destroyer crews

Me ha encantado el documental. Muy buen trabajo. Enhorabuena desde España

It would be nice to be able to read what he is sayning, in stead of the black text put over it.

Would love to see you do a video on "Battle of North Cape". Keep up the hard work, love your content 👏

We don't have dollars in the UK.

Great video! All war is terrible but there must have been a special kind of horror as men realized they were trapped in a sinking coffin being pummeled by thousand pound shells!

How interesting! I'm so used to hearing him sound like a demented chipmunk on helium and yet here is sounding like Darth Vader ~ Very weird!

Thanks!

Wonderful animation. Well done.

How about a video on the Battle of Cartagena de Indias in 1741 Thanks

I didn't know he was acting.

Well done Sir!!!! Your story telling is outstanding!! Binge watched your posts. All the best to you.

Netanjahu ..

Her captain, had he survived, would have undoubtedly been court martialed and found guilty of incompetence. He had no CAP up, nobody in the crows nest and even the survivors disliked him, and the Germans were shocked she had no CAP flying. Scharnhorst is tied with HMS Warspite as scoring the longest ranged hit by two naval ships at around 26,400yds/24,140M with her third salvo in this battle.

With the exception of "escort carriers" (i.e. converted merchant ships) ambushed at Leyte Gulf in 1944 this must've been the only time surface ships managed to close in on the new Queens of the Sea. Had Glorious' flight deck not been so overloaded with aircraft she would've been able to keep a Combat Air Patrol aloft constantly during daylight. Quite ironic, no?

Paldies! Your presentation was good quality, and details assist with my research. Don't pay attention to the pathetic Q comments. ❤‍🔥Tracy the Latvian /Washingtonian

Great vid! Thank you!

The Germans all saluted the destroyer crew for their bravery in trying to protect glorious

This battle sounds like the closing stages of a World of Warships match, when its the carrier's turn to get plastered.

It was a RN blunder to put in charge of the Glorious a man who didn't understand the importance of naval air power. The hurricanes on deck made it more difficult to launch aircraft but it was still negligent not to have air cover. By the time the 2 German pocket battleship were spotted HMS Glorious was steaming with the wind thus was not able to launch any aircraft without turning & steaming towards the enemy. The destroyer captains did their duty & paid the price. The whole Norway campaign was another Churchill led fiasco. So many lives lost for no gain.

Please 🙏 do a video on the 380th's raid on Bailikpan!

Sad to hear about the fate of Captain Hughes!

Britannia really didn't rule the seas after WWI 😬

Battlecruisers... AAAAHHHHHAAHHH

My Uncle was a Torpedo Officer on HMS DiDo in the med. Her history would be of interest...

The map at sec 58 is wrong. Parts of italy are now port of the greater germany and other parts are missing instead. Thats definetly wrong and needed fixing.

You know, France gets a lot of criticism for its mistakes in this war, but the British conduct of the war early on may have been even worse. They routinely blundered away sizable advantages in numbers and equipment, while overpromising and under delivering aid to their allies, thus setting them up for defeat.

Great video. One thing, german ships were either Battlecruisers or Battleships. They can not be both. You used those interchangeably which is incorrect. In fact they were both battleships.
