In the Second World War, every bond between man and man was to perish. Crimes were committed by the Germans under the Hitlerite domination to which they allowed themselves to be subjected which find no equal in scale and wickedness with any that have darkened the human record. The wholesale massacre by systematised processes of six or seven millions of men, women, and children in the German execution camps exceeds in horror the rough-and-ready butcheries of Genghis Khan, and in scale reduces them to pigmy proportions. Deliberate extermination of whole populations was contemplated and pursued by both Germany and Russia in the Eastern war. The hideous process of bombarding open cities from the air, once started by the Germans, was repaid twenty-fold by the ever-mounting power of the Allies and found its culmination in the use of the atomic bombs which obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    I love that you can watch multiple WW2 docs and still learn new things. Great story telling
  • @obi5398
    "The port city of Nagasaki was founded by the Portuguese in the late 16th century and then unfounded by the United States on August 9, 1945."
  • When you say Best WW2 Documentary you guys weren’t kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever been this glued to a screen. Fantastic documentary.
  • @Joefest99
    “The best WWII documentaries” are the ones that are banned.
  • @jaipandey7142
    Moral of the story: Honestly appreciate everyone's artwork

    Wish I had videos like this when I was studying history in high school
  • @derzauberer8605
    Wait wait, there is a few inaccuracies in the Poland segment. 1. The poles weren't slow to mobilize for no reason, the allies held them back from mobilizing out of fear it would give Germany an excuse to attack. 2. There was no real recorded cavalry charge on tank and the German army also fielded thousands of horses and was only marginally more mechanized then the polish army. 3. the poles had one very effective tank, just too few and fielded too late and mostly not deployed with much effectiveness .
  • @sanjanasaha2543
    It was very helpful for me as it explained the events in a very detailed way and it helped me in summarising the whole chapter... thanks a lot ✨
  • @guppyspop
    This should be shown in every school. If history isn't understood it will repeat itself. Excellent documentary, bravo 👏👏
  • @JackYOgurl606
    I'm finding this very informative...even though I've watched many, many war documentarys....this is still great!
  • @RN3Gaming
    Part 2 needs to come faster! This was absolutely amazing.
  • @Mieldeamapola
    Ok wow. This was so much more interesting than my HS History class. Currently workin overnight. Thank you for keeping me informed and entertained.
  • The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the my incredible instances of human resilience. Stalin ordered that citizens stay in the city and fight along side the soldiers. The civilian casualties from this battle is mind boggling, but in the end Hitler and his men retreated. This is a great documentary!
  • @SetTrippin82
    One of the finest analysis on WW2 that I have ever watched.
  • You have done a exceptional work here, no words to say, You've covered almost all the battles in Eastern Front such a dramatic way. Counting days until chapter II comes.
  • @VisionForgeMedia
    Thank you for sharing this piece of history! It's essential to remember our past to understand our present.
