Griff has captured his style perfectly here.

It's not funny... I find it hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watch anything made by David Croft as most of it is Second World War.

Get a life.

The English were on a short supply of manpower. They've been fighting tooth and nail during the Battle of Britain over their skies and coasts. The North African campaign against the Italians and Germans, and the rest of their East-Asian fronts such as the Burma Campaign and Singapore was suffering from stretched supplies, loss of manpower, and were on the defensive against the Japanese. A general couldn't spare any men at all because that would have meant taking away from existing fronts or having to abandon frontlines that they couldn't abandon. The point of the Allies was so that they could work together to fight the Axis on multiple fronts, sharing the workload as equal as possible.

@@Asayano That is simply not true. The English fought to win battles and for prestige. Their allies were cannon fodder. As an example, Churchill and the English cried out "Sink the Bismarck", In other to do this, the Navy was ordered to abandon the allies to their fate. My dad was in the Battle of Maleme, which the allies lost. Fortunately, some Navy captains ignored Churchill and saved my dad. If Churchill had had his way, I would not have been born.

​@@peace-now I cannot believe that in good faith, the part about abandoning allies to their fate. The Royal Navy had enough ships to cover the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and to some extent, the Pacific seas and then some during the opening stages of the Second World War. Abandoning their allies was not an option when they held the strategic advantage on the seas. When Churchill ordered for the sinking of the Bismarck, obviously only the ships most closest to her would hunt her. The naval vessels at the Mediterranean did indeed help evacuate Maleme, but not because they ignored orders to hunt down an enemy ship that was a literal sea away from them. Now, as for the reason why the English "avoided" battles that were dangerous. In the case of Maleme, it was already heavily occupied by German Paratroopers around the middle of May, 1941. There was no reason to hold an Island to the last man without the equipment to fight them back. Retreat was the sound and tactical decision and save soldiers a vain death.

@@Asayano You are so arrogant - like Churchill. You think like a high ranking officer who couldn't give a stuff about allied soldiers. The same English officers who stayed well away from the fighting and called soldiers like my dad cowards. You should try to see things from an alien perspective for once, not just what the English history teaches you. Anyway Churchill did divert ships from the Mediterranean. He was never interested in saving anyone from the Battle of Maleme, only in his personal obsession to destroy every single man on the Bismarck, which he stated he really enjoyed doing.

@@peace-now I have never once called any soldier a coward in my comments nor have I acted like a WW1 general who wants to shove them to the nearest meat grinder like the Somme, that accusation must be put to rest. I regard them more resourceful and a priority to keep them alive rather than dead trying to defend a useless front. Remember, the Evacuation of Dunkirk happened because of the German's capacity for taking the initiative and new doctrine of war, which was mechanized warfare, encircling Allied Forces quickly. During that evacuation, the British forces had to leave most of their heavy weapons to enemy hands in order to save as many lives as possible. Did they regard them as cowards when they limped back home without a gun? Churchill didn't think so, in fact, he was the one who helped the efforts to save those men rather than let them die or be captured. I have in no way looked in a biased or favored light to the Allied or Axis forces on this discussion, I simply cannot let that continue. My opinion of Churchill himself isn't high, I'm merely pointing out his actions during the space of WW2 alone. During this discussion, I have been looking into what you have been referring to and trying my utmost to explain any misinformation or comments on British efforts. Most of my sources have been from books written by naval strategists from America to Italy and then Britain, and a handful of historians. True, Churchill did divert ships from the Mediterrenean, that would be Force H stationed on Gibraltar. However, there was already a different set of ships helping evacuate soldiers in Crete, which was based near Egypt. This evacuation started at May 29 until the end of the month. The only time Force H decided to leave the Mediterrenean to engage the Bismarck was on her last voyage in May 26. I have no strong information on Churchill's obsession or "sadistic" enjoyment with sinking the Bismarck, but if the Bismarck's combat history is to be inferred to, I believe the priority to sink the ship would have been elevated to a near "obsessive" degree.

and stole all the watches.

It's "apologise", not "apologize"

Ah, here we go. Now I'm taking a lucky guess you think Putin is doing the same thing in The Ukraine 😂

FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM

Surrendering is just agreeing to take a break for them I hear... 😆

No but they'd know how to spell 'Scots' which is more than I can say for you. I assume you are from Australia or something?

thanks, I started laughing all over again.

@@SuperKSongz That wasn't the intention, I'm german.

@@vermilion7777 So am I, a Hartmann from Babylonian times, and the lessons learned handed down to me.

It's a joke about weirdly long german words for mundane things

@@alicev5496 This isn't really that weird. The only difference between the english language is, that we don't use spaces between longer word complexes. But that's not that obvious in everyday speech, it's more a thing of official language and techical terms. Chamber of Agriculture would be Landwirtschaftskammer, but you could techically say Kammer der Landwirtschaft as well. It's quite awkward when english satire gives the impression that we would speak like that the whole time. In reality the amount of syllables between the german and the english language is almost identical, if you compare two analog sentences. I found this to be unneccessary in the context of this sketch. League of Gentlemen (Herr Lipp) is way more legit in their use of the german language, for instance.

Scottish?

Liverpool more like

John bishop is from liverpool

That's the most English sounding Scot I've ever heard lol
