Top 10 moments before disasters.. "Steiner's counter assault will give us the upperhand."

"Don't worry, Steiner's assault will save us."

Having the most advanced jet fighter at the time doesn't matter if you don't have the fuel to get it off the ground lol

"the allies cant put together an amphibious invasion" allies : "what if we just pounded a poorly defended section of the coast with absolutely everything we had?" germans: wait what

Steiner: "Don't worry guys, I have a plan" *Steiner has left the game*

"Soldiers of the Volkssturm are now being sent to the front in pairs. One throws a stone, and the other shouts "boom!"."

I was stationed in Germany in 70s and 80s. The Germans who lived during the time of the war told me that in 1943 everybody knew the was lost. They listened to the BBC which was always right on target and reporting what was really happening. They also had wounded soldiers coming back from the Russian Front and they were telling people, "It's just a matter of time." They didn't bother listening to German Broadcasts because they only reported that they were winning by attrition and the big time offensive was coming.

In a way, Barbarossa was analogous to Lee's attempt to circle Washington DC and force a negotiated end to the War Between the States. In both cases rapid maneuver and audacity attempted a quick win against a larger enemy with more manpower and natural resources. A big difference though was that Lee knew that eventual victory was not possible after being stopped at Gettysburg; Hitler thought that being stopped in Russia was just a speed bump.

Hitler: We have Steiner, his counter attack will save us Krebs and Jodl: The Attack didn’t take place Hitler: GOD DAMN IT

So basically Hitler's master plan can be summed up with. 1. Armored blitzkrieg 2. Form pincers 3. Encircle 4. ????? 5. Endsieg?

Besides underestimating the resolve of Western Allies, Hitler also "forgot" about the Eastern one - Allies could coordinate their operations pounding Nazis from whichever side was weaker at the moment, to force Germans relocating their forces, and so they did.

Legends say that Steiner is still preparing his counter-attack. The world will quake when it happens, we should brace for it

Legend has it, Hitler is still waiting for Steiner's counterattack.

You guys keep raising the bar with these animations

16:06 I like the attention to details, the US soldiers' animations aren't simply recycled because the M1 was semi-automatic while most other nations were bolt action.

I love how I can just kick back and throw on endless videos of yours and my students will all pass their tests and enjoy the class. They even do their homework. Such a break from actual teaching precovid

"We are short in oil and manpower, what do we do?" "Assault useless locations to consume more of it"

1:40 It kills me whenever a company says "military-grade encryption" it means literally nothing, except to say it's encrypted in some way. It's a big red flag whenever a company uses this kind of language.

The Allies won the war not by luck. It wasn't simply a near escape, as some historians might try to argue. The Axis Powers took on a task that was too big for them and were incapable of knocking out key powers because they were very likely completely out of reach and capable of withstanding initial blows. The Allies adapted, regrouped, mobilized, and were able to wear out their overstretched, under-resourced opponents through attrition and economic, technological, and military superiority.
