Dropping a wooden bomb after their completion had been done is good old sarcastic British humour . This made me 😂
Hello
Finally early just want to say me and my dog love your vids
Good way to train
d-day might be the biggest achievement in human history, because it overcame german planning and infrastructure
That's what happened with the china virus pandemic.
how? you had lied about their victory to some unimportant nazis. important nazis you took with you
Dropping fake bombs on a fake base would be demoralizing to those who created the fake base. It is no different than calling out a friend playing hide and seek.
It seems like Russia is employing similar tactics to these in Ukraine, I see a lot of Russian Tanks getting blown up is what I am saying.
And their turrets are getting inflated into the sky
plenty of ghosts too
Russian tanks are not made out of wood, they are made out of aluminum.
It's all going to plan
In one way or another….
Most tanks, planes or personal ar just decoys that don’t really function otherwise 😍
Belgium actually still makes inflatable tanks, and russia has been reported to have bombed quite a few of them
Where is this? Ukraine I presume? Surely bombing in Belgium, rubber tanks or not, would be considered an act of war. When Russian jets flew in British airspace over the north of Scotland, British jets were mobilised and followed them until they left British airspace and it made headline news.
@@GM-tw4el Yes Ukraine
"Who needs steel when you have rubber"
-ghost army soldiers, 1944
Using decoy bombs to tell the Nazis that the fake airfield had been noticed would reduce the chance that the Nazis would build decoys in future, and so reduce the odds that a decoy might be missed in future and bombed legitimately. That's not necessarily what happened, but it would give a legitimate reason for the tactic.
The British had a HUGE sense of humour in the midst of WW2 - In North Africa, the Germans could not figure out where the RAF Radio Station - Call Sign "Hemorrhage" was. The Germans were confused and they never figured out where it was so they could attack it. Typical British humour - it was located in Blida, in Algeria.
Lol. Love me some British humor.
Germany made fake wooden aircraft:
De Havilland Mosquito, "Hold my bomb."
Hurricane fighter, "Hold my bullets".
I can’t believe they gave each other wood.
Was the wood good?
@@bigearl3867 🤣
Lol😅
@@justintyme720 great @ handle
Two of the best kinds American and German engineered lol
The British: You may have outsmart me but I outsmart your outsmart
The concept of deception is not often explored enough in WWII not by the Allies or the Axis forces. We really should be seeing more video's on what both sides did to fool their enemies.
Plural of “video” is “videos”
Yea that'd be great

@@brokenbridge6316 definitely dude
IKR gives Google translate suggestion 😂
The Ghost Army consisted of a carefully selected group of artists, engineers, professional soldiers and draftees, including fashion designer Bill Blass, painter Ellsworth Kelly and photographer Art Kane. Many West Point graduates and former Army Specialized Training Program participants were assigned to the 23rd, and it was said to have one of the highest collective IQs in the Army.
Yep. They were a fascinating force. They not only used fake planes, tanks, soldiers, etc, they also used audio recordings and fake radio traffic to fool the enemy. They'd use any means at their disposal to fool opposing forces.
professionall trollers
@@coolmanpantsman 😂
@@putzthewondersloth at tge time of Operation Overlord (D-day landings) the commander of the ghost army was Patton. That was to give credence to the deception tgat the Western allies were actually going to land at the Pais de Calais and the Normandy landings were themselves a diversionary attack
The Ghost Army was led by General Patton
Actually, Ukraine has used decoy HIMARS...
I wish there was a high budget series covering all the major events of WW2. Not a documentary but with actors and CGI and what not. Like Game of Thrones format except WW2
The war genre isn’t that popular, so it’s not really worth it.
@@maxpro751 Um... Saving Private Ryan... Band of Brothers? We're less than 20 yrs away from the 100th anniversary of WW2 beginning 😉 W/the large number of WW2 history buffs, I think it would play well. Ken Burns did a decent job on the 'War' doc series but it didn't look exclusively @ the action.
@@quantum_cricket8555 Yeah there’s plenty of movies about a single event of WW2 but not the whole thing. It’s such a good storyline from Japan’s brutal conquest or China/South Pacific and Hitler’s rise to power. All the major battles and turning points of the war and all the political strife and the vastly different big personalities of all the leaders. All the different locations and climates. There’s plenty of interesting material for a long series.
there are like hundreds or thousands of ww2 movies and shows showing basically every relevant thing that happened. just gotta find them
@@maxpro751 it actually is for the most part
This was really interesting. I knew of fake tanks etc. Didn't know of that ghost army and it was a proper division. Pretty cool
I didn't know about the ghost army, what a fantastic story, i almost cry. I can't imagine how things would be today if we didn't have all these heroes. ❤️
I think the Ghost Army needs a movie
I think they have a documentary on the History Channel.
Agreed
Around minute 13, it says “commensurate actors.” This is pretty awkward usage. I think you meant “consummate actors.”
39th still in the top 40
holy f*ck a decoy airfield?!?
6:05 That is not the French Coast. That is Spain.
24:31 how my dad explains my grandpa used to go to school:
Russia has destroyed many decoy himars in Ukraine still no real ones tho 😂
Ghost Army saved a lot of live on both sides, if you think about it.
British bombers proceeds to show American B-17s 😂😂😂
I hope that's what happens to the warming countries,, funny war, I give my 💯% soport that😂😂
Third
I don't find anything about the history of WWII or any other for that matter, making me laugh.
Theu should of circled back around when the soldiers left their cover and dropped real bombs
Anyone else notice this is like 3 entirely seprate videos all in one?
Bit funny, innit?
-random British RAF higher-up
First. Anyway hi I love your channel.
@@JSFGuy your being mean
@@CommanderAlien18 I is okay he is just a 9 yr old
@@JSFGuy above this comment
Anyone else see the part where they reused an old video.
Love the Ghost Army segment ❤
There were more than 5 nationalities involved in the the D-day landings. The primary forces were American British and Canadian, but there were also the free armies of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Denmark and soldiers from Australia, New Zealand, and Rhodesia. The Americans had the hardest time assaulting omaha beach, but plenty of other allied soldiers died during the invasion of France that don't get the respect and credit, because we only really see the perspective of American made movies.
The airfield migth be fake, but the AA defences around them are very real.
*we do a little thing called "trolling"*
How did we embarrass the Nazis? We brought over 1,500 Nazis to America after the war. Warner von Braun used to hang the five slowest Jews and in his munition factory in Germany during the war. Then we brought him to America and he started NASA
from the 9-20 minute mark of the video seemed to be an old video while the rest seems modern.
"This helped the Allied forces to capture key points on the French coast"
*points at Spain*
i want 1000 days of nuclear war
Good content, but the music...UGH! Four chords in an endless loop? NO, THANKS.
"Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment, that which they cannot anticipate." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War
This was probably great for morale. Imagine the much-needed humor that comes from humiliating the enemy.
1:30 Well, the English built real airplanes out of wood. Planes like the Mosquito.
No longer a thing of the past. I heard Ukraine used decoys against Russia this week.
Repeating the same thing with a little more detail everytime. Could of been a 5 min video instead of wasting money on animation..
RAF up to some tomfoolery
So this could have been fake news about fake bombs dropped on fake bases? Ok 😂
The years after the war had a bunch of the kids from that program unable to find their parents. Since a lot of the records were destroyed during the war. So was very sad for the kids since they had nothing to do with that government.
Those brit chaps are 👌in my book 😂
wait fake bombs on a fake airfield ? why is there no movie about that ? :D
6:05 "french coast", indicator pops up on northern spain lol
Re-upload zzzzzz
Wooden bombs lol
how can u blame the germans for mistakenly taking a wooden bomb as a real one i think they just seen too much during the war so i think your just trying to be rude to them after what they seen.
That's the point...
I wonder if Churchill gave the specific order to drop wooden bombs as a chuckle ?
Absolutely love you guys at TIS, keep up the great work!
Hurricane fighter is mostly made of wood.
Mosquito
The average bomb didn’t land within 8 miles, something like 20% got within 8 miles
Later in the war when low altitude daylight bombing was used accuracy improved immensely. We just didn't have the technology to pull off night or high altitude bombing with any accuracy.
Take a shot every time he says wooden bombs challenge (I have liver failure now)
40 minutes of repeating the same thing.
Wrong
is that a repost of ur video 1 year ago?
wow
The Soviet Air Force chief of staff in WW2 was Armenian air marshal Sergei Khudyakov
He participated in the Yalta Conference 1945, standing behind Stalin
Still waste off resources and risk off been hit by flack
True... But still hilarious! The Germans met their match that day! HAAAAAAAAA!
Soviets in the east easily defeated…… come off it. battle of Stalingrad was a victory for The Soviets. This was in 1942/1943. Well before Operation Overlord
Singer from the Swedish 70s pop groop ABBA Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad's mother was involved in the Lebensborn programme in Norway,
My favorite story from WWII on deception was when the allied forces fearing a strategic city was going to get bombed heavily hired a magician to recreate a full-blown City several miles ahead of where the actual city was. This fooling the German bombers and making them bomb a fake city at night.
Well that was done by all war nations.
Us British people are such trolls
Only 1.2k views lol
Wire recorders turned out not to be state of the art when American soldiers discovered a magnetophon aka tape recorder in 1945, a tech introduced by AEG in 1935.
Years of ww2 study this is the first time I heard of the wooden bombing of Germany. Crazier than the “Bat Bomb”
Nice field note in history😂
I love these videos but the background music ruins it. Too tense and the tempo is way too high, all it does is induce unnecessary anxiety when I'm trying to relax and casually watch something entertaining and educational
Since Russia is drawing it´s troops mostly from rural areas and from convicts and since the technologies improved a lot why not try out # ghost tape number 10 again
My god lol Is this AI generated or something? I'm only 4 minutes in and it's basically just repeating the same thing over and over hahaha
So that first one isn't true. Knowing an air base is nonfunctional holds tactical value. Pulling a joke on them doesnt
It gives the bonus of laugh to your army😉
Nazis,the human equivalent of vultures
I love this so much. You can weaponize literally any skill or profession if your life depends on it!
The first 5 minutes are so repetitive and bloated, theres no way im sticking around for longer.
7:22
"Embarrassed" I mean I wouldn't want to be anywhere near anything that came from a RAF or USAF plane in WW2 especially after our air force quite literally melted German Civillians to the ground [Hamburg reached 800 °C (1,470 °F)] due to the excessive use of incendiary bombs.
I remember watching a History Channel Documentary that talked about the Ghost Division. And in one story that really stuck out was when a French civilian saw US Soldiers lifting and moving a tank by carrying it over their heads. When that French civilian told what they saw to German soldiers those soldiers believed that the American Soldiers were far stronger if they were able to easily lift and move a tank that weighs hundreds of tons of steel over their heads with ease.
Bs
@@jantschierschky3461 I'm pretty sure it was a fake tank
@@alek5272 no kidding Einstein
@@jantschierschky3461then what's bs about it?
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 well first the inflatable tanks were used in the UK, not on the continent. Ghost division existed but using vehicle mounted mock-ups. If a German soldier would see a inflatable tank being lifted, it be clear to him what it was. So that story is bs
Good stuff
Lol 😂 u lying
"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War
What about the inflatable himars rocket systems ukraine is utilizing?
The nazis were so embarrassed, they continued to fight for two more years!
What is a little bit funny is that the animation for this is exactly like the SCP animation.
Just gonna point out the obvious here; unless you win a large cash prize for being the first comment posted, NOBODY CARES if you're first. Not everything has to be a competition.
It’s my birthday today
Happy birthday (I know this is late)
Wow
THE GHOST ARMY IS LITERALLY THEM! I LOVE IT!
Insane?
You don't know what the word actually means nor how to use it.
You forgot that as the soldiers scaled the cliff, if a soldier fell off the cliffs they did not scream .
