Saying "Zixi" over and over (instead of Cixi) makes you sound ridiculous. No Google where you are? Lazy.

There was an unmanned German weather station on Canadian soil that wasn't found until the 1980s

Brave Norwegians !

I am not a navel expert but isn't very function of a light cruiser to intercept enemy destroyer and gun boats? it has just enough armor to protect it self against smaller caliber naval guns, it has the speed and maneuverability to evade torpedoes and the slower battleships, and has a relative low caliber gun to achieve high rate of fire to take down destroyers and gun boats? so it is really a surprise these days that when people do their intended job it become an achievement?

marvelous video, i'm looking forward to what you do next!

First, great unbiased presentations of significant historical events. THANK YOU! Second, imo, it was bad intelligence by the Germans, - not the first or last time. A more prudent commander might have had his crew at full battle stations and ready for any response to being fired upon when attempting to make this run but hard to justify based on their strategy regarding the invasion of Norway territory. The "Channel Run" comes to mind where they coordinated the air and naval assets. However, that "museum" should have been priority #1, erroring on the side of caution, - no lower than 2. And the opposite should have been tracked and targeted in an alternate pattern (left-right) as well. Waited too long to respond to the initial shots. Regardless, 20/20 hindsight.

My father was the HICOMOP on record during that incident

your silhouette of the sydney is wrong-only two funnels!

Don't F*** with the British

NOPE! We know it was just secretly hidden and preserved under water, and later turned into Space Cruiser Yamato! This is well documented in the 1974 documentary of the same name!!!

10:38 Stop jinx it!

Great video and history lessons.

A curious parallel to what happened to HMS Prince of Wales in December 10 1941.

What happened to those who had raided his camp and stolen his war chest?

An old friend in Sri Lanka had the brass bell of The Emden.

Poland was invaded by Hitler and bolsheviks - Germany and RUSSIA. According to ribbentrop-molotov aggrement.

B-17s in the Pacific we’re not just useless, they were worse than useless, trying up resources that could’ve actually done real damage

Remember kids, old doesn't mean it won't hurt you

Great animation and explanation. Like the videos here. Sadly a little mistake in the map Brest a town you see in occupied poland is in france. This story shows that the germans like Kummetz didn't expected that the forts fire at them or their informations were bad. Come on you need to fly above this forts and occupied them with paratroops before you sail strait in this street.

TOO MUCH HAND GESTURING BY THE PRESENTER. DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS DISGUSTING AND OFFENSIVE TO BRITISH. ALSO IS OFFENCE TO DO NON ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION.

How about a video about Walther Wenck, who saved civilians during the Battle of Berlin?

This looks like BazBattles Drobak Sound video as well.

Pay me $5 and I'll pre watch and point out the mispronounced things you ai voice fucked up

Ottomans outnumbered crusaders and gave 30K casualties? A tired empire which had a civil war and signed 10 years peace cant outnumber a crusade army. Also 30K casualty is nonsense. Many sources says that Ottomans had nearly 35-40K in battlefield and Crusaders are not less than Ottomans. And except small army of Hunyadi managed to take with him, all Crusader army was slaughtered or captured. Turkish sources claims the casualty as around 10K. Also Murat was very successful commander who strengthened his empire after civil war. He won many wars. I don't believe he would want to escape from battlefield . Especially against a crusader army.

Make a video on USS DIABLO

Rule one of a Scottish rebellion: Don’t invade England

Definitely a story worth the time.. even if we already know about it. A 40 year old service officer, Colonel in his last 6 months of active duty with enough balls to give the order to fire live ammo to unknown battleships, without warning shots as he was ordered by high command.. damn. He really played his experienced cards of a lifetime in those minutes, even if defeat was unavoidable, he made possible for the defenders to take down a titan with old equipment. o7

the u.s.a ocupation is back to philippines now

U-47 had the element of surprise. It could have scored a few hits on Pegasus as well as it was a sitting duck just like Royal Oak.

So again the British lied. They wanted to invade Norway to 'help' Finland. They wanted to invade first.

Loved his dog and all animals. Greeted a black American Jesse Owens with kindness. While (at the time) the President of the United States did not acknowledge Jesse Owens.

Where were the Vikings hiding at that time?

The pictures taken from the Beaufighter were taken by Damien Parer (the Beaufighter was flown by Flight lieutenant 260353 R. F. (Torchy) Uren, No. 30 squadron RAAF). To get the the site of the conflict, Parer flew behind the pilot, sitting on the breeches of the 20mm cannon. There was no spare oxygen mask or point in the Beaufighter so Parer did without - crossing the Owen Stanley's at 14,000 feet or more. He passed out from hypoxia both going to and from the battle area. Parer was a notable war cameraman who eventually had a falling out with Australian authorities (he did not suffer fools gladly especially those in authority). He resigned from the Department of Information and joined Paramount pictures. "...On 17 September that year (1944), the second day of the invasion of Peleliu Island in the Palau group, Parer was killed by a Japanese machine-gunner; he was reported to have been walking backwards behind a tank to capture the expression in soldiers' eyes as they went into action...." His footage was used in "Kokoda Front Line" (Oscar in 1943), "Men of Timor" (2/2 and 2/4 Independent Companies behind Japanese lines), "The Bismarck Convoy Smashed" (this action) and-arguably his finest work-"Assault on Salamaua". This was after work in the Middle East including in Tobruk (the seizure and then the Siege), Greece and Syria.

Nicely done video

This video gives the wrong impression. Only two 11" shells were fired, while the video keeps showing misses from those guns, which never happened. The crews did not reload after firing those two shells at almost point blank range.

Did not know that there were British subs in the area.

Reminds me of BazBattles

It did not matter for Eriksen if the ships were German or British. They were an invading enemy force. What he meant by his comment "I will either be court marshalled or decorated" is that he knew full well that the Norwegian government was not neutral.

The officer of the watch when the Royal Oak was a Royal Marine - Lieutenant Vincent Jeffries. He was blown overboard, went on to become a Commando, served in 47 Commando and fought at Port-En-Bassin on D-Day and later in the Netherlands where he was awarded an American Distinguished Service Cross. After the war he met one of the Submariners in a pub in France, he said he could buy him a pint and there was no animosity

There was ample warning. My dad who was 9 years old won a bet on what day they would attack. Today I feel that we are in a similar situation, and that lots of people later on will say that it was a surprise.

4:38 Blucher should not have been the lead ship going into that enclosed space. Maybe light cruiser like Nuremberg and some destroyers. But not a heavy cruiser.

Wait a minute - Ukraine left the USSR in 1991, and this guy would have likely been free to contact his family - but somehow did not do so for 15 years ?

Thanks

Nice! Putin like Hitler! From the first days of his power in 2000, he cared about how he was presented in the media, how he looked in photographs and on TV. Putin is the great manipulator of the 21st century. Thank you for this video.
