Thank you. I am planning to make a cinematic of Hastings Old Town soon when the weather is better. This video was rushed as the battery was about to die on my GoPro.

Ich empfehle einen Besuch des Dover Castle.

I think I was in single digits age-wise (now 34) the last time I was in Folkestone, so it was a new experience for me. I didn't get much time to see beyond the Harbour, but I will make another trip there soon once I have researched the historical sites more.

It is, though the last few times I was there it didn't appear to be open. Rather much like the medieval tunnels at Dover Castle, but I understand the English Heritage are doing something to do it.

Thanks. I had hoped to visit several other locations that day but I injured my foot the same morning and it became too painful to fulfil my plan.

@history_class you're welcome and I hope your foot get better soon

Well, I would argue that the Germans were often ahead in terms of technology. Take the V1, V2, Me262, Stg44, Panther with night vision devices, they were all ahead of their time, but in the end the war is decided by resources and manpower.

I know right, stood strong for a year without support before allied force came. Battle of Britain 🇬🇧 😎

Uh… they do?

They do.. The Battle of Britain is one of the most well documented sequences of the war.

@@gk-bjorn I’m talking about people online, mostly Americans and Russians 😂

No because the point is that at this time, Germany and Russia were allied with each other. America hadn’t joined the war yet, as they wished to remain neutral, so the UK was the only country left in Europe that could actively threaten Hitler or stop him.

Why?

@@reversearcade-wifixsmasherBecause they were huge liability and screwed up everything they did.

@reversearcade-wifixsmasher3809 number of factors I emagen, * their dictator was an influence, hitler was inspired by this way of thinking. * it was a way of testing his weapons, logistics, and troop mobilisation. As germany, after ww1, was meant to never regain a mass military, it was top secret * its geography. * Naval power could also help I'd emagen. An alliance to support hitlers cause and Italys dominance within Africa. Without Italy, Germany would have taken longer to reach the objectives they had in mind. So yes, Italy was a key factor.

​@@reversearcade-wifixsmasher Italy lost every war and Germany had to make up for its losses

@@sciencenculture but I wouldn’t count that as an obstacle. If Italy never existed it wouldn’t benefit Germany. They still did a decent amount of fighting against the Allies therefore weakening them, even if it was not a lot. Their greatest obstacle would probably be the Soviet Union or the US

don't you know what it means

@@the-blue-barron2791it’s spelled obstacle, not obsticle; so in answer to your question I do not know what the word obsticle means as it is not a real word. I hope that adds clarity and context to my first post which I now realise and admit was vague. The OP needs to use spell check or a dictionary.

The battle of Britain was 4 years before the Normandy landings

@@Thioacetone1 I really should have paid more attention in history class thank you for the information!

✊ DARN RIGHT!

That's because of Stalingrad

@@EdDnB yeah I'd much rather speak Arabic

@@erasmoo2644 *whoosh*

@@LaughingMan44 Filth!!… really I’d rather speak like ancient Greek 👌😆

They didn't even manage step 1

😂😂😂😂😂

They didn’t started invasion tho. They attacked russia in June 1941 Battle for britain was just a battle, not invasion plan

I recommend visiting in the late Spring - early Autum period. Now, in December, the town feels pretty dead.

I'll keep that mind. Thank you! :)@@history_class
