- Everyone makes dumb mistakes, and even if no one else knows about them, they can still keep us up at night. However, hopefully, none of us have ever made an idiot mistake so big that it changed the course of history. In some cases, weirdly enough, a dumb mistake has even gone on to change history for the better, like bringing down the Berlin Wall.
From the German general who ditched the beaches of Normandy for a birthday party to the shocking origins of the 1977 New York blackout, let’s take a look at some idiot mistakes that changed the course of history.

Trump getting elected (at least the worst mistake in recent history) I know I know I shouldn't be political here but someone was gonna say it. I know that technically it wasn't a mistake - he won the electoral college - but it Was a mistake voting for him [and don't bother trolling me - I'm not gonna respond - I have work to do fixing the mess he is making of this World]

Agreed. I got through until the point of berating Columbus. If he was, no one cares. His legacy is symbolic of discovery and embracing the future.
How so?

Live long enough and you start to notice how people change the narrative of history to suit their own purposes.
So basically, you two are saying that history should be propaganda and not verifiable facts. In other words, the Trump version of history.

Chamberlain with that 'treaty' piece of shit paper, promising there will be no war!
@@johannesbluemink4581 With hindsight it was definitely not a mistake. Chamberlain's treaty was absolutely vital because it bought a completely unprepared Britain enough time to quickly cobble together sufficient military defence to hold off the Luftwaffe and so prevent the invasion of Britain which resulted in the continued action of British and Commonwealth forces throughout the war in Europe, Africa, the East, Middle East, Far East, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
@@bobblehat6603 Bahh! If you compare thetwo sides, the French & British were in a much better position vis-a-vis Germany in 1938 than in 1939--remember, the Munich Accord gave Adolph breathing time to upgrade his forces--and unlike the Allies, he used it well!

I wouldn't say that the Dutch not colonizing Australia was an idiot mistake. From the way you worded it, it sounded like very logical reasons for not settling Australia.
@@LM-kd2zm Seeing as we instead colonized parts od North America (founded for example New Amsterdam, now New York), Indonesia, South Africa, Argentine, Suriname etc.,........we did not need a 2/3 nearly inhabitable rocky sand collection, which is also home to (we now know) far too many deadly animals. It is not for nothing it's owners first used it to get rid of criminals.
Thanks to the decisions made by us people from The Netherlands then- we as still one of the smallest free countries, became masters of EVERY drop of water on earth for almost a century...
But! in 2019 I'd long for an entire ocean around my country, as the useless immigrants come in by the hundreds of thousands thanks to the EUSSR.
@@furorfrisii7679Frisii don't you mean Brasil instead of Argentina ie Nieuw Holland?
@@LM-kd2zm The Dutch before 1800 were not interested in territory. They wanted to trade, and there just wasn't much useful goods to trade in Western Australia. As for producing wine or use as a way station, the Dutch did that in South Africa and didn't need any more. Besides, the available shipping capacity was not enough to carry all the more profitable spices to Europe, so why invest in other produce?
we could have ended up like Canada , if the french had landed further up on the Australian coast , but they were late and arrived after Cook by a few days
And the Dutch didn't have the "surplus" people needed for a colony (so remote), remember that the First"shipping" of volounteers (it's ironical) went at the end of 18th century, after the loss of american colonies, before I'd read that North America was the dumping ground for the"indesiderabiles"

Didn't know the Doctor was involved in the French Revolution. :eyeroll:
I wish the doctor existed tho.
that was the few things eye liked about this video.
Don’t know how they got Jeanne Antoinette Poisson (Madame de Pompadour) confused with Queen Marie Antoinette .... Pompadour was King Louis XV’s mistress, Antoinette was the Queen of france and married to King Louis XVI, Louis XV’s grandchild 🙄 Doctor Who may not be real but if your gonna make a historical video make sure you at least get your presentations correct!!
Louis made a whole lot of mistakes long before the Bastille fell. He bankrupted France by helping the Colonists rebel against the Brits in that little thing we like the call The American Revolution. He got rid of all his good advisors; France was dealing with a series of poor harvests; the King and the aristocrats were at each other's throats, etc. Those are just some of Louis XVI's contributions to his own execution. We won't get into the role Louis XV played. He was the one who sowed the seeds of revolution. This video is too pat. Nothing is that simple and on another note: Rommel was no idiot. Thousands of Allies worked tirelessly to make sure the Germans never saw us coming and would be unable to pin down exactly where Allied Troops would land to begin the invasion of Fortress Europa. Christ, the planning alone took place on multiple continents from underground bunkers in England to castle drawing rooms in Spain. I hate when people say, "Do your research", but do your research.

Yes, I know all about the Vikings. Different era, different people. Man did it in rickety wooden sailing ships. This took guts.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand's driver took the wrong road in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Gavrilo Princip was waiting, gun in hand, but hesitated and let the car pass. The driver realized his mistake and reversed. Princip fired his pistol, killed Franz Ferdinand and hence started WWI.

The videos for the French Revolution managed to blend movies about the 1848 French Uprising with the 1792 French Revolution, while talking exclusively about the latter.
i think its the revolution of 1832 not 1848
Nah, that was just real archieval footage taken at the time....
Right....
Allegedly, in November 1989, Berlin, in the middle of the night, Erich Mielke, head of the infamous StaSi, confused by conflicting reports, decided to have a look for himself at the nearest border post, and was surprised to find thousands of people passing both ways, when a boarder guard officer stepped up to him, saluted, and announced "Comrade Minister, nothing out of the ordinary!"
This guy is my hero. Instead of starting the killing of thousands, he just single-handedly decided that time was up for the GDR. Having the guts to just take the wind out of Mielkes sails all by himself as toppers is just phenomenal.
I had no idea that the French Revolution happened at the Royal Navy College in Greenwich!
(That was the set for the film shown)
The cause of the Challenger disaster was clearly demonstrated at the first congressional hearing when an engineer took an O ring, dunked it in a glass of ice water then snapped it showing how brittle and useless the ring was in the cold.
Australia was claimed in 1788.......do your research next time

"Unimpressed Australian"
JSavic it was 1788 but ok, 1770 was when they first discovered it yes but it was officially colonised in 1788.
Please don’t insult a country when you don’t know what you’re talking about because what you copied is the first thing that comes up in google
@@LM-kd2zm A single person doesn't speak for everyone.
So what? Australia. Like many lands claimed through conquest.
in 1770, Lieutenant James Cook charted the east coast of Australia for Great Britain and returned with accounts favouring colonisation at Botany Bay (now in Sydney), New South Wales.
A First Fleet of British ships arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 to establish a penal colony, the first colony on the Australian mainland.
in 1494 the Pope divided the world between Spain and Portugal. Cook only claimed the east coast which would have been part of the Spanish claim recognizing possible Dutch/Portuguese claims to the Western coast . Only after the initial settlement did British claims move West. Western Australia itself wasn't officially claimed and annexed until 1827 .

The person who turned Hitler down from Art School

The guy who had the opportunity to kill a already wounded Hitler in WW1
Basically Hitler has wounded to the point where he probably shouldn't have been able to survive and he was left to die ... Well as you can probably geuss ... He didn't die in WW1
Also there's the fact the the rest of Europe avoided fighting Germany until Germany was strong enough to basically take all of Europe by being passive towards Hitler as he invaded countries the bordered Germany
Then you have basically every political opponent he had in Germany who basically could have beaten him in an election but instead had their gaurd down and we're assassinated
Then their the time he was arrested and they left him out
Yeah basically the whole world fucked up many times over when dealing with Hitler

Smh at The Challenger clip. It could have been prevented. I keep seeing the image of the teacher's parents looking up in the sky after the explosion.
not to mention all that inserted Saturn Apollo launch footage
Nasa knew about the problem and they almost lost the shuttle discovery earlier in the year due to the same issue. The Rogers Commission Report is a fascinating account of the tragedy.
NASA started listening to their engineers after that.
@@Mondo762 sadly, they didn't really listen. They knew the foam that helps attached the stabilizing arms to the launch craft was a problem that could damage the heat shielding. AfterColumbia launched NASA knew it was most likely not going to be able to survive reentry and yet they told the crew nothing.
Stephanie A - That is another very sad story. The fact that the Columbia was allowed to launch should never have happened. The engineers should have stopped it. A power they did not have during the Challenger launch as I understand it.
All an Engineer can do during the decision making process is give his advice and hope the brass listens.
During my 30 years as an Engineer in the US Merchant Marine I witnessed many times where the Captain would go against the Chief's advice. Then guess who the Captain turns to when things go bad? That's right, the Chief Engineer. When the Titanic was sinking the Captain called the Chief Engineer and Chief Mate into his office. He gave the Ch Mate orders and sent him away. Then turned to the Chief Engineer and asked "What do we do?" And so it goes down through history.
@@Mondo762 indeed titanic sailed out on fire the capt shouldve told ismay he wasnt sailing seems sometimes the higher u are the less common sense you have
The biggest mistake was wasting my precious time on this half baked video
I love the Tim and Eric clip! They are brilliant!
the butterfly effect is like compound interest the grows over time
I really love it when I don't have to watch the video, because the whole script's been put in the description
Fantastic footage of the... 2003 northeast blackout. And a quarter of the footage was of Toronto. Namely, the CN tower and TTC spokesperson. Nice.
Y'all got the 1986 Space Shuttle information wrong too. It was Bob Ebeling that came out in the 1986 Congressional and Rodger's investigations and publicly stated that the O Rings would not hold in a cold temp launch below 40 F. Ebling and Roger Boisjoly were the two engineers that tried to get the launch stopped. He even first refused to watch the launch, until a friend talked him in to watching it. His friend even tapped him on his shoulder and said something like "We pulled another one off" just before it exploded.
He went on NPR and stated that he still felt responsible for the Challenger accident. But he first went public with the O ring information back in 1986 not 30 years later. All that information is easily found and you can probably find the 1986 commission and Congressional videos of Ebling and Boisjoy testifying about the problems with the O rings. He even talked about the memo he sent up warning about a cold launch and the possibility of an O ring failure back in 1985 and they could only qualify the O rings down to 54 F, not at the 18 F that the temp was on the day of the launch.
More like this video is one big mistake. Sorry guy, but do a little research on the facts before posting. We have enough fake B/S out there now to deal with.
They should’ve add the Gallipoli landings on this video England got so many Australians and New Zealanders killed all because they thought they knew what they were doing
You are absolutely right my friend
I’m glad someone agrees with me
There are so many military errors in history and definitely many a lot bigger than Gallipoli
Hollo Hullu Yeah but to Australians and New Zealanders this one was big
And maybe you’re right there are a lot bigger military disasters then Gallipoli but here’s the thing it’s a lot bigger to Australia and New Zealand if The British would’ve stuck to the original plan and gone up further along the coastline of turkey many Aussies and Kiwis would still be alive so when you’re saying it’s not a big deal it is to me and many other Aussies and Kiwis my great grandmother never met her father because he was killed in the beaches of Gallipoli!!

Columbus: "according to math that only I can understand"
FWIW, the fact that the relevant engineers were no go for launch of the Challenger, and were overruled, has been known ever since that time.
The Challenger blowing up is one of those moments in time that I'll remember for the rest of my life where I was at and what I was doing. It's like 911 or the assassination of Martin Luther King jr. Or JFK it's such a pivotal moment in history that it's seared in people's brains and I'll always remember where they were or what they were doing what they were talking about specifics of that day and how they felt when they heard it. My mom always talked about MLK's assassination in JFK's assassination cuz she remembers those specifically and remember where she was and what she was doing at the time which was school. As for me the Challenger explosion I was in Elementary school passing out cupcakes because it was my birthday. Each classroom had a TV in it and this whole school was watching the launch because of the teacher of course. I can still remember how devastating it felt just watching it happen watching my teacher yet upset in tears the principal going room to room it was a crazy time
Hmmmmm, so like most historical turning points, the fall of the Berlin Wall can be blamed on ineffective management...
@Sho Tohara ooooooo, topical :)
It didn't take three decades for the cause of the space shuttle disaster to come out. We knew about engineers from Morton-Thiokol telling NASA about the O-ring problem and trying to stop the launch within a few days. It was a mistake, a big-fat bureaucratic one, but something we have known about for many years. Of course, like all bureaucratic mistakes, nobody responsible was ever punished.

@Aeternalis Armentarius Get a grip
Good grief this is intellectually sophomoric.
“Great” song choice for the tragic events
There was another reason that King Louis XVI's and Marie Antoinette's attempted escape from France failed -- the King's fondness for food.
King Louis loved to eat. Not only did he consume four gigantic meals a day, but his servants followed him around the palace bearing trays full of snacks, and he always carried apples in his pockets. He grew so fat from all this food, that people called him "the walking stomach."
Some historians have suggested that it was because the King ate so much that there was hardly any food available for the poor people of France, including bread, which was one of the most common staples of the French diet. This is supposedly what led Queen Marie Antoinette to make her legendary statement that if the people had no bread, "Then, let them eat cake." (Actually, this story is a myth; there's no proof that the Queen ever said anything of a sort; in fact, the statement existed long before Marie was even born) This alleged callousness on the part of the King and Queen is considered one of the many causes of the French Revolution.
In any case, when the Royal Family tried to flee from the revolutionaries who intended to do away with them, the King, every now and then, would insist that they should stop by the roadside so they could have a picnic, and this proved to be their undoing, because the Revolutionary soldiers were able to track them down -- by following the trail of debris left over by the picnics!
If King Louis had thought more about his family's safety than he did about his appetite, there's a good chance that they all would have made it out of France (perhaps even out of Europe) alive and unharmed, and neither the King nor the Queen would have ended up on the guillotine. Thus, the subsequent course of French history might have been quite different, but of course, we may never know.
The oil spill is why my family has never used Exxon. we boycott it at all costs.
I can't blame you.
I see how your boycott has put them out of business.
1:01 Depicts Louis XIV not XVI.
Love the Dr Who clips referring to Marie Antoinette
Joseph Hazelwood literally took the fall for what was a disaster caused by Exxon's upper management. Although "The Captain" is ultimately responsible for whatever happens on his ship, he was off duty when he was plastered in his cabin, asleep. The management had everything to do with the non-functioning ship's radar (it had been out of service for 11 months). Also the third mate was required, or "strongly encouraged" to refuse piloting service when entering Prince William Sound.
And, by the way, all those billions supposedly awarded to the Alaskan Natives who were made destitute by the spill? Appeal after appeal has whittled away at the total to where it is a mere fraction of what the jury awarded!!
My greatest mistake was wasting 3 minutes and 43 seconds watching the first part of this video.
Wow. The fall of the Berlin Wall was a "Mistake" and Hip-hop is a "Good thing". No wonder we're going to hell in a hand basket.

Well.... the wall/fall was a total disaster--for the Reds.
As for the worst 'fail' in history, I submit my marriage...no contest!!!
Christopher Columbus was not the ISIS of his day. He was a man of courage and vision who overcame many personal obstacles to achieve the discovery of the western hemisphere and open the doors to civilization and settlement.
7:00 Long before "Ebeling's confession" in 2016, Challenger: The Untold Story a.k.a. Challenger: Countdown to Disaster, was a 2006 documentary all about Morton Thiokol engineers warning NASA that Challenger was likely to explode at temperatures below 54°F (12°C). At 1:00:40 Gerald Mason, told Robert Lund "You need to take off your engineering hat, and put on your management hat." (ie. this will possibly cost Morton Thiokol the billion dollar contract that is in negotiations.) Joe Kilminster then tells NASA's Larry Malloy, who was the one REALLY putting the pressure on the engineers to reverse themselves, "the data predicting blow by is inconclusive".
They knew that during flights 51-C & 51B, (January & April 1985) fuel had escaped from the O rings, but there wasn't an ignition source to light the fuel, so they didn't explode. Testing of the O rings showed that they weren't reliable, even at room temperature. The really sad thing is that the only reason that O rings were necessary was so that the rocket boosters could be manufactured in sections for shipping from Utah by train, rather than one solid piece like the large external tank, shipped by sea.
Unfortunately the engineers were arguing data and evidence, instead of psychology. Once they saw that the dangers were being ignored, they should have said, "Anyone knowing the facts and still agrees to launch, should grab a pistol, walk into the astronauts' dorm, and shoot all 7 of them in the head, because your decision is going to kill them just the same".

June 6th was Rommel's wife's birthday--too strange for fiction.
Nothing about Franz Joseph's assassination?! In 1914 Franz Joseph, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was making a tour in what is now Bosnia. As he was in Sarajevo, there was a bomb attempt which he escaped, but which injured the people in the car behind him. After giving a speech at the City Hall, he asked to be taken to the hospital where the injured were. The limo driver got confused, turned into a side street. He had to back down the side street to get back on the main street. This was long enough for Gavrilo Princep, another conspirator, to shoot both Franz Joseph and his wife. This resulted in Austria declaring war on Serbia which brought Germany into the war, which brought Russia to declare war on Germany, which caused France to declare war on Germany. This was the beginning of WWI.

I like the title of this video. I'm not sure about the channel, but the title is good.
If you think about it, The Dutch might be able to turn the Deserts of Australia into a lush Farm Valley filled with Vineyard the way South Africa is.
Christopher Columbus - I am 60 and back when I was in history class, when they still TAUGHT history, we were taught that Christopher Columbus shortened the distances on purpose to make the trip seem less daunting and hence more likely to get funded. He also lied to the crew so they would not become fearful of sailing over the edge. Yes, it was a plot on the part of Christopher Columbus.
Space Shuttle - I was living and working in Huntsville, AL when the Challenger exploded. Everyone that I knew was told to lock up all the papers on any Shuttle related projects on that mission. It was known very shortly there after, NOT 30 YEARS after, that two Morton Thiokol engineers were on the phone from 2:00 am until 4:00 am trying to get the launch stopped.

Britain didn't get Australia becauze they were genius and thought they would profit off of it though. They got it to use it as a prison colony, that they later discovered it could be much more valuable was pure luck so given the knowledge of the time it is not that strange the Dutch never settled it given their focus on spice trade.
They got it because they didn't want France and the Dutch to have it
'..thought that they would make profit from it...'. Well they did make profit from it, or at least they reduced their costs. Sending prisoners there was a lot cheaper than feeding, housing and clothing them in a U.K. prison.
Making this video could have made top ten.
For D-Day the biggest mistake was the Germans were duped into thinking the Allies would land in the Pas-de Calais are not Normandy? Rommel was good, but one General being there in Normandy might not have had a difference as this suggests.
Look what happened when New York lost power for just 25 hours.... imagine if we lost power for a year?
DOOMSDAY!
King Nothing lol yeah sucks to live in the city lmao
There's a documentary that shows what could happen during a hypothetical weeks long widespread blackout. It's here on TH-cam if you want to watch it. It's pretty interesting.
During the first blackout everything was calm in NYC
King Nothing With your scenario, I’m starting to appreciate the 2nd Amendment more and more.
Summer of sam movie is abt that. Mmmmmm Adrian Brody!
Playstation logo on bag from footage of 1977 blackout. Obviously not real footage.
I noticed the same thing. Had to do a double take and rewind the footage lol
I'm guessing Dr Who had fuck all to do with the French Revolution too.....this channel sucks balls
Obviously. He's using stock images and videos. Like the clip of World War Z..
I didn't even get past the first part.....total bollox
i believe the images are from the 2003 outage
It wouldn't have mattered if Rommel had been in Normandy on D-Day since Hitler had kept control of the Panzer divisions that could have destroyed the invasion. When Rommel called to ask for control of the Panzers Hitler was asleep and no one would wake him
Great film.
Columus wasn't bad at math, he took Copernicus' estimate for the size of the easy rather than the ancient Greeks. He also want a terrible person, he actually tried to stop the Spanish enslaving people. He even cut off f the hands of men who abuse native women, which for the time was enlightened.
So Columbus took advice from a young student who just matriculated at the University of Kraków?
Nicolaus Copernicus was born 1473.
Who was Columus? Never heard of him.
Stupid mistake was making this stupid video
Columbus _was_ the *ISIL of his day*
I agree
L W, what did you expect from a bunch of dumbass liberals.
@@ffjsb Well pardon liberals for going to college and reading books while you people were believing the Bible, shooting guns and spitting on minorities.
@@jraymond1988
The person who made this video clearly didn't go to college
I don't really get the point of your comment, I'm atheist, but this video is so stupid
Harald Jäger: "Hey sir, there are people storming the Berlin wall and are trying to take it down."
Higher Up: "Nah bro you're just a coward for overselling the probable situation."
Harald Jäger: "Bet."
The New York blackout reminded me of Escape from New York. 😅
Wait.... the had PlayStations in the world 1977?? 5:50
Also there was a scene in WWZ :D
yeah I was wondering about that too

Grunge indeed. Not just PC, historically fallacious.
Yep ! 😂 "Columbus was the ISIS of his day.."
So you prefer the Trump version of history. Make up stuff when the truth is inconvenient.
'The Girl in the Fireplace' aka Madam du Pompador would have been a great Companion. =))
As I go through life I find that most mistakes are obvious/not subtle and big/not small. This seems par-for-the-course.
I would like to set the record straight for the Exxon Valdez.
1. The reason the ship was under staffed was the head of the tanker fleet at the time was a man named Rawles. Rawles decided that these ships DID NOT need the 12 people on board that loaded and unloaded the tanker at the different ports and the crew that drove and maintained the ship could load and unload the ships. This put additional strain on the reduced crews which lead to the hours of work been extended by the people that were originally only supposed to drive the boat. Hazelwood had spent most of the day helping with the loading of the boat and there were a number of delays and problems with this loading cycle.
2. Hazelwood was going to take the Valdez out in the morning after a proper rest period with a rested crew. Now we come to the next part of this screw up. Hazelwood was ORDERED out of port in the late afternoon by the then CEO of EXXON. Who was the CEO at the time well guess what Rawles had been promoted to that position and since he had SO MUCH experience running the tanker fleet he thought he knew better than the captain of the Valdez. Hazelwood protested this order on the grounds that he was clocked out on the number of hours he could continue to safely work as well as most of the crew which were in the same clocked out condition. The ONLY member of the crew left was the THIRD mate so that poor bastard took the boat out. Rawles was pushing for a speedy departure because if the Valdez DID NOT arrive in California in three days the refinery there would have to shutdown from lack of feed stock causing millions of dollars of lost production. Hazelwood had every right to NOT WORK over his extended work day because there had just been a bad incident where the crew of another Exxon tanker went over there maximum hours in the day and that crew was hung out to dry because of it.
3. Another reason that Hazelwood DID NOT want to leave at night was the glacier in the Prince William Sound was calving ice bergs and on the way in to the port the tanker HAD to avoid these bergs by sailing out of the channel. The third mate was doing the same thing hoping that the Coast Guard would warn him if he was sailing into harm. The Coast Guards radar for Prince William Sound had not been working for over 2 months at the time of the accident. Hazelwood also wanted to leave in the morning because the tide would have been going out and the rocks the Valdez ended up on would have been visible instead of just under the water at high tide.
4. Most of the oil spill equipment that had been stationed at Valdez port had not been maintained properly and the boats used to deploy it were in need of repair and replacement. Most of the personnel originally trained in this oil spill equipment had gone on to other employment and the staff that replaced them were NEVER properly trained in it use. So instead of a rapid response to contain the spill there was no response that could make a difference. by the time replacement equipment was flown in it was too late to stop the massive oil spill. For a day and a half after the tanker went a ground the conditions in the sound were almost dead calm and the lack of working equipment and trained crews allowed for the oil to continue to flow into the water. There were NO salvage tugs in the area that could haul the tanker off the rocks and those had to come from Seattle which took 4 days to arrive on site. Today there are two massive tugs stationed at Valdez fo rapid response and these tugs escort the tankers in and out of the sound.
So how do I know about this I was working for another Exxon facility in another country. The head office actually contacted EVERY Exxon facility across the world and started demanding all of the oil spill equipment be sent to the Valdez disaster. They were going to take our equipment and shutdown a 4 million dollar a day facility because we would not be able to operate our field without that protection. It went as far as putting our equipment into containers and getting it ready to ship when somebody actually did the math and stopped the stupidity. The head office went out and bought new oil spill equipment which was sent to the disaster site but like I said it was way too late regardless.
2 other points--the industry--including, explicitly, EXXON--had promised that only double-hulled tankers would be used, to avoid just this scenario. Guess how many hulls the E. V. actually had? Hint: More than 0, Less than 2.
As to the Cap's sobriety, we'll never know. SOP was to check his, the Mate's, any anyone else possibly involved's blood alcohol level immediately. Instead, they let him go into town, where he found a bar--hey, after a day like that, _I_ might feel that I needed a drink, and I'm a teetotaler!--so that when he finally was tested, the results were meaningless....
That footage is clearly not of 1977. Someone is holding a Playstation bag at the 5:50 mark. LOL
5:50
Dumbass niqqa its 5:50 how do you go 50 secs off wtf
There is also a scene from world war z
Time traveler
@@H2THEP33 Good call, not sure how I messed up the timestamp.
The main reason for the Bastille attack was the arms stored there. Like Harper's Ferry, it was an arsenal !!
The Fact you would even Include Irwin Rommel on the List,And Used His Face as the thumbnail shows how idiotic the Researchers are.Rommel was a Tactical Genius Who Pushed the Allies All over North Africa,Designed the Whole ATLANTIC WALL DEFENSE & Was involved to a Point in the Plot To Kill Hitler.He was implicated and while other Plotters were Executed indiscriminately,Rommel was (Allowed) to commit Suicide,Saving his Family.And Given a State Funeral as a Hero.He was injured and went on Leave,He didn’t just Run off to celebrate his wife’s B-Day with an impending invasion.Hitler was the Idiot who couldn’t be awoke as the Invasion started.Thus keeping a few Panzer Divisions in Reserve instead of deploying them to push the Allies back into the Sea.
If it wasn’t for Hitlers’ Need to Control every aspect,With no clear chain of Command,And the inability of Senior Staff to make decisions,We could very well be speaking German Right Now.
