Turning Points: The Key Battles That Turned The Tide Of WW2 | World War II In Colour

Italians are bad at war. Stick to food and wine....TY

Counter productive video

Would love to see a video focusing on the carriers in the pacific. One that introduces every new carrier as they entered pacific waters. All we’ve seen so far is the 4 carriers we had when the war started and how at one point we were down to only one. But then it jumps from there to the 20 or so that attacked Okinawa. What about the in-between? When and where did all the others enter the war?

BIG TECH the new GESTAPO, censored history. Disgraceful

More dumb british commanders who had there Earldoms .A discrace.

We get poor coffee. Brazilians get the best.

dissrespecting the history with that kind of censorship! Shame on you yt on what you have become....

gg

History is so important

Goodnight everyone!

Liars. Look up Dresden. The allies bombed cities first.

There's a book called Windswept Lies of War, and it talks from censored history and hidden secrets to lost files and classified documents about World War II, it's the real deal.

Food replaces all ur vitamins. Stomach therefore does not take food

I'm so happy we had winston churchill as prime minister back then 😊

putting into color is entirely important I think. It reminds people how real and how recent these awful events were

AAAAAAND once again Jean Laidlaw, WRNS, and her compatriots get ERASED. Black May (1943) was BEFORE the air gap was closed, and it never would've happened but for these women, and their boss, Captain Gilbert Roberts, who made Max Horton play the war game himself and lose 0-5 to Janet Okell using Laidlaw's tactics. (Also, ASDIC got erased too; this had been around for a couple of decades, and Johnnie Walker his own self put it to decent use... but Laidlaw studied Walker's BUTTERCUP tactics, figured out the fatal assumption - that a sub would attack from outside a convoy rather than sneaking INSIDE at night - and devised RASPBERRY as an initial counter, accounting for the fact that the one way out of the middle of a bunch of hostile ships was *down*, at which point the sub's slower underwater speed would force it aft relative the the convoy centre... and of course, the ladies didn't stop there; they developed several other tactics for use in various conditions.

It takes both tech and brains (and a bit of bloody-mindedness) to win a war... and a willingness to let whoever has good ideas run with them and be the person to teach others. No matter what their gender, or colour, or where they came from.

ahem
Everybody always gets excited about the Mustang. The P-47 was on scene well before the combat-effective P51-B was, AND the real problem was the USAAF "Bomber Mafia" refusing to supply drop tanks to any American fighters, '51, '47, or '38, thinking that the Forts' own guns would be sufficient to get them through. Schweinfurt, of course, proved them wrong... and finally somebody got smart and gave Jimmy Doolittle, a genius six ways from Sunday as well as a heck of a pilot in his own right, command of the 8th Air Force.

Once Doolittle changed the USAAF's priority from destruction of infrastructure to that of logisitical superiority - first, seek out and destroy the Luftwaffe, and second, on the way back from a raid, hit anything that moved, then things got better. By 6 June the Luftwaffe had very little left to throw at the Normandy landings, and that which did show its face were summarily dealt with. Of course, blowing up all that infrastructure meant that the Allies had their own logistical problems to deal with... but at least they weren't usually ducking German air raids to do so. Can't say the same for Fritz himself.

Which is that background music during victories

Look at the lovely face of the young woman at 2.41.13. A catwalk model in another life.

The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence).
Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism)
The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war,
12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts
Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"

So people what was your true turning point of WW2 - Stalingrad, D Day or some other battle. Let me know please on your thoughts.

FYI: Dan Snow is hardly a world renowned historian. Hahahaha. Guy Walters yes.

for those who are interested, watch the documentary called 'Operation Mincemeat' it's excellent.

But why? why would Britain, which vastly outnumbered the Japanese on Malaya be overwhelmed? did they lack sufficient artillery? airplanes? were they simply not expecting the Japanese army to be so tenacious? it must’ve been disheartening to the allies to have to fight them knowing this.

Invading Russia was Hitler's 2nd biggest mistake.

At Midway while the Japanese Naval pilot loses were severe actually the most severe loss was mechanics.

World War II in Colour was on Netflix for a long time, and it's too bad they took it out of their library. I watched it many, many times and think it is an excellent overview of World War II. It was a springboard for me to learn more about the war.

Love these long videos, always great to sleep to.

I love that intro, so cool.

Thank you for episodes BUT me as a historian it is a little strange that amount of damage that Japan inflicted to USD was just enough to turn PR..AND previous to attack US president do EVERYTHING to proveced aggressive Japan with main supplie,OIL
Twice did USA achieve to not see intelligence,1941 and 2001

And then US reinforcements arrived!

Thank you for sharing these episode.
