The British would fight to the death, imo the Germans would not survive a Saturday night out in Liverpool
bollocks
It "might" be bollocks now but it wasn't at the time
@@justme1111 Are you actually suggesting that the German military and it's absolute peak wouldn't have been able to quell the local scouser. Yeah that's a good one.
@@anthonymullen6300 Do not worry, the German military at it's absolute peak was not good enough, "what if history" is kind of crazy 👍
@@Michael.Talbot that's very true it only took the Britain stands alone Empire, the United States and the Soviet Union to defeat one country
They never stood a chance. In those days Brits were willing and able to suffer a lot, in order to prevail.
The Royal Navy would have still made Sea Lion impossible, and even if Germany had gotten past that, they were never going to succeed with any invasion of England using the river barges that they expected to use...the whole idea was an empty folder of empty phrases and nothing of substance to back it up.
Not to mention the fact that the UK was never close to losing the Battle of Britain, even when the Luftwaffe was hitting the airfields, they were never close to destroying the RAF.
Have you seen British football supporters??
Connor, as I have said on other videos, if Britain had fallen America would not have got involved, Japan had been at war with China for years they depended on oil to continue the fight, Britain was also at war with Japan, we asked America to cut back on the oil they were supplying to Japan, you did, this was the trigger for the attack on Pearl Harbour, which, in turn, brought America into the war, so, if Britain fell no need for America to cut back on the millions of barrels of oil they were selling to the Japanese, no cut back on oil sales, no attack on Pearl Harbour, America stays out of the war, Don't forget until Pearl the general public opinion in America was it's a european war we should not get involved....
Flying Tigers 300 men departed San Francisco on 10 July 1941 and arrived in Rangoon, British Burma, on 28 July.
Also, the USA was dragged into the European theatre because, 3 days after Pearl Harbour, Germany declared war on the USA, not the other way round.
Even if it had gone all to plan, likely would have gone the Napoleon way. In the end these conquerors always fail.
What you have to remember is that the battle of Britain came hot on the heels of Dunkirk where the British army left almost all of its equipment in Northern France.
The biggest military blunder in the war was probably the decision by the Nazis to switch from bombing RAF airfields to bombing cities. The RAF was on its knees as it says in the original video. Short of planes and pilots with airbases that were shot up. It was only that switch to bombing cities that saved the RAF and allowed them to rebuild and eventually repel those Luftwaffe raids.
If that blunder of switching to bombing cities had never been made then within a few weeks the RAF would have been done for, Sealion would have taken place and at that time there would be very little we do to resist that invasion beyond naval action. Any nazi German forces that made the invasion beaches would have found a Britain that at the time had ZERO anti tank guns because every one they once had was lost at Dunkirk.
There was even a lack of basic equipment like rifles. At that point of the war there were more men than rifles in the UK. Improvised weapons were being quickly made like petrol bombs and tying a carving knife to a broom handle as a sort of pike to stab someone with. The army was massively under equipped and was still in shock from its defeat at Dunkirk. Now I don't doubt that we would have fought on bravely with whatever we find whether it be rocks to throw at invaders or other such things but how long could we have lasted against an invasion force with tanks when we had none, anti tank guns where we had none, where they had machine guns and we were struggling along with a few rifles.
The result may have been prolonged in coming but it would have been an inevitable defeat for Britain. Even with all the bravery in the world there's not much you can do without so much as a rifle against someone driving a tank or firing a machine gun at you.
FDR did what could within the limits of the Neutrality Act.
"American help had been given much more promptly to strengthen the land defences of Britain. More than half a million rifles, 85,000 machine guns, 25,000 automatic rifles, some hundreds of 'seventy-fives' and mortars, 21,000 revolvers, with supplies of ammunition for all these weapons, were released from surplus American stocks at the very time when the British wanted them most urgently. The British paid for this equipment and it was carried in British and Allied ships;7
--227--
but these consequences of the neutrality legislation did not remove the great moral effect of America's action."
British War Economy

One of the main problems with invading Britain wasn't just getting troops across, but supplies. With the RN holding the channel it would have be near impossible to supply the army Germany sends to invade, ironically creating a sort of reverse Dunkirk, where the German troops are cut off and trapped in Britain.
Even so, getting to this point is already risky for the Germans, an invasion of mainland Britain would require a lot of equipment, manpower and munitions, things they would desperately need for operation Barbarossa as the Soviet Union was the main target.
The question is not necessarily COULD Germany invade Britain, but WOULD they make that risk while possibly giving the Soviet Union more time to prepare.
There is an alternate history movie called "Fatherland" which you might be interested in, showing a victorious Germany after a failed Allied D-Day invasion, fighting against a soviet lead guerrilla war in the east, attempting to seek a formal peace with the United States in order to team up and finish off the Soviet Union, but the events of the Holocaust never being brought to light.
Its rather unrealistic, but is interesting to see how a Nazi Germany existing into the mid 1960's might look.
Russia and Germany were allies and the Soviet Union is as much to blame for starting world war two as Germany. The Soviets did not need more time to prepare because they had a Pact. Stalin was genuinely shocked when Barbarossa happened. Germany gave up on invading Britain and opened the Eastern front because on paper that was actually achievable.
The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact was signed on August 23, 1939 and the German invasion of Poland happened on September 1 1939 while the Soviets invaded Poland on September 17 1939. This is not a coincidence. The elephant in the room is that Stalin started world war two.
A 'Bonsai' charge? Ah, must be part of the Code of Bush-ido!
Conner please stop assuming the mindset of people is the same as the modern US mindset. It was a different time with a different mindset. Even today your boys fight for your country but our boys have one difference which makes us more like the Japanese we fight not just for our country but also for who sits on the throne.
Always thought the idea of Britain not continuing the war - more likely after the battle of France - ie If Dunkirk had failed - and maybe no Churchill, and a weak the British Government accepted the peace overtures from Germany? No Britain, probably no USA entering the war! European colonies of the French, Dutch and Belgium would have been in German hands. No opposition to Italian expansion either. Would Russia have survived without Allied lend lease and Germany able to fully commit to its destruction? Would Japan, joining the Axis, would have access to Indochina and Indonesia without fighting for them? It could have been a very different world we live in today.
Crikey. What if Captain Cook had a large leak in the ENDEAVOUR? 😊😊😊😊
Was his name not later changed to 'Cooked'?😉 Anyway, if he was caught short he would have peed over the side.
Absolutely the Royal Navy would have decimated the Luftwaffe. You talk about attacking from distance but that simply was not possible at the time, they would need to get close to the ships to destroy them but would have been destroyed themselves in the attempt!
You can't Island hop with 50 million people on that Island , Japanese islands had a few villages and a few thousand soldiers ...
I think it is very difficult to say how the British would react if the country had been invaded, even though we would like to think that we would resist to the last person. We would probably be like the countries that were invaded - a small number would actively resist, a small number would actively collaborate and most people would just try and carry on with their lives as best they can.
What would have happened if the little french dictator had landed on our shores and we didn’t have Nelson and the Royal Navy. ? Our ancestors would have carried on the fight ,and I should imagine fighting to the last man , just like in 1940 I believe the British population would have fought to the last ,and hopefully I believe that belief is still paramount to day ,it is for me it’s no sacrifice for our homeland and long history
In 1940 the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) was critically short on surface ships which would be needed if Sealion had any chance of success. During the Battle of Norway the Royal Navy had annihilated the vast majority of their modern destroyer fleet and ships such as these are essential for escorting a vulnerable Invasion force. You have to look at the sheer scale of what the Allies did in 1944 for Overlord the naval forces involved were immense and were virtually unopposed by either German Naval or air power and even then it was not guaranteed to work. The Germans had no history or tradition of amphibious warfare unlike the British and the US and the ad-hoc invasion fleet that they could put together would be no match for the Royal Navy in the Channel. Even if elements managed to land there is no way they could be adequately supplied without a working port large enough to accommodate their needs. The British would put out of action any port that may have been suitable and Royal Navy would destroy supply ships in the Channel. Remember the Allies utilised "Mulberry Harbours" in Normandy giant artificial harbours until a suitable port was captured and their supplies were unopposed as the Allied Navies dominated the Channel. All in all the Germans never had any intention of attempting Sealion even if they had gained air superiority this is not air supremacy and Stuka's cant bomb marauding British destroyers and cruisers operating at night in the Channel. The only hope Germany had was to persuade the British to come to the table and sign a peace treaty which was in reality a far more likely outcome at one point. What we also have to remember is that as soon as Britain declared war on Germany the clock was ticking for the Germans as the British cut off the vast majority resources and materials needed for winning the war. Yes they had access to resources from the USSR until June 1941 and those captured from the occupied nations. However, those supplied by the former were never enough to meet the Wehrmacht's needs and the USSR could not be depended on and was expected at some point to declare war. The Germans did utilise synthetic fuel but again this could be produced in the quantity needed and was no real substitute. The Germans realised that this situation would be compounded even further if and when the US joined the Allies. so unless Germany could persuade Britain to sue for peace they would slowly but surely eventually run out of materials and resources to prosecute the war. If Britain refused to come to terms then they would need to think of another solution. The solution they chose was to invade the USSR in 1941.
You can't win a war with just aircraft, you need boots on the ground.
Yeah and to get boots on the ground you need to win in the air too usually, and in this case you need to be able to cross a sea too.
The Japanese didn't fight to the last man in many cases in WW2
Prior to Pearl Harbour, isolationists used to say that the British would fight to the last American!
the problem i see for the germans is the sea, not just getting the invasion across but resupplying the forces, a panzer with no fuel ain't a great deal of use
I think what you're looking for is the "Mandela effect"
Regarding resilience like Fanaticle Japanese , say that to the million French , British and commonwealth troops that died in the trenches of WW1 , they didn't face the other way and run .....
The Japanese couldn't run away and hide on small Islands , but they certainly did in Bornio , Singapore and Malaysia .....
Mayala was lost and Singapore surrendered February 1942.
@@nickdanger3802 I'm talking about battles not , not overall outcomes ...
let's go, 1hr video.
The thing that never appears to be mentioned in video's like this is that the UK is not just Great Britain it also includes northern Ireland a ready built redoubt which would have required a 2nd amphibious landing before you could say the UK has lost.
Your thoughts mirrored my thoughts when you said would the R.N. survive air attacks with little or no aircraft to fight the bombers off. Not forgetting that the R.N. lost two battleships within a short time to Japan's air attacks as did Japan lose so many aircraft carriers and other ships to American aircraft.
And yet in June 1940, after promising Hitler that his "über" Luftwaffe would prevent the escape of the allied troops from the Dunkirk pocket, how did Georing's Luftwaffe perform in the English channel, jam packed as it was with British warships? Oh yes that's right, they managed to sink just FOUR RN destroyers, and did the Luftwaffe succeed in its avowed mission to complete the destruction of the allied forces in the Dunkirk Pocket? 338,000 allied troops delivered safely back across the Channel shows how inept the Luftwaffe was at naval aviation.
During the WHOLE of WW2 The luftwaffe, inspite of attacking the RN for 4 years in the Mediterranean and 5 years in the Atlantic as well as Norwegian and Arctic seas ALL of which were full of RN capital ships NEVER succeeded in sinking anything larger than a light cruiser. Indeed it took the Germans until 1942 to develop the ability to air launch a torpedo.
The Japanese in comparison had been taught by the pioneers of naval aviation (the British) since the 1920s and had as good a grasp of its demands and intricacies as the British had. The Germans were HOPELESS in comparison.
Take a walk around London in 2024 and tell me that we didn't lose.
That wasn't the German's fault, that was people like YOU!
Conor ,even the British house wife would have been armed with her rolling pin . 😊
And killed by an 88 Grenade
When referring to the Japanese, I think you said ‘bonsai charge’. I think that you meant ‘banzai’, as ‘bonsai’ refers to the art of creating miniature trees…
I enjoyed that video and I like to hear you talk
The description of the phosphor granate makes me think of napalm and the Vietnam war. Wonder how different the two kinds of bombs were 🤔
Could the Germans have taken over Britain - compared to how "easy" it was to take over Japan? Here you need to take culture into consideration. Those two cultures are very different and I think the British would have fought differently than the Japanese.
When did the World know about die Endlösung? Well, Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" dates from 1940 ...
If we had lost we would not now resemble a 3rd world country. We 'won' nothing
Britain won by preventing nazi Germany from installing its own puppet govt in the UK houses of parliament, and by also preventing it opening new branches of its "concentration camp" franchise in the UK.
When devious nazi fanboi idiots say "Hitler never wanted war with Britain and France" they ALWAYS miss off the part that says "until he was ready for it on his OWN terms".
Because of course he was putting all his hopes on being left to expand the nazi empire EASTWARDS in peace, assimilate his new found conquests with their collective economies and resources, further build up his military power and THEN conquer Britain & France. Luckily for us all today the British and French were not prepared to allow Hitler to get his way.
Not confronting Hitler in 1939 would have resulted with Britain by the mid 1940s onwards having:
Extermination camps in the Cotswolds, Pennines & Scottish Highlands.
SS Einsatzgruppen stalking the shires looking to find "undesirables" to summarily execute.
All UK males of working age being deported to the reich to be slaved to death in nazi armaments factories or infrastructure projects.
And now, slimy nazi fanbois want the uninformed to think that letting Hitler conduct his plans undisturbed would mean that we would have a Britain today filled with Rose cottages, warm beer, bar skittles & village cricket.
As it is, for all its faults today, YOU live in a country where you are free to express your opinions, no matter how uninformed they are and NOT have to worry about being executed for it.
How utterly devious those people are, people with greater awareness of the situation don't fall for their nazi apologist nonsense.
33:57 The Mandela Effect
Aircraft would of been built underground in Scotland , US aircraft imported in ships ....
really enjoyed this video man,great history channel too,as for your remark at 24:00 germany made it clear several times that britain could and would keep its empire in its last appeal to reason,as like you said. they wanted to instantly focus on the USSR.
Exersize we're done in the early 1970s between modern day German army high command and the British army top Brass after running a complete range of scenarios it was concluded that even if the Nazis would have landed on the UK mainland they would have been (a) decimated by the RN and (B) beaten back by the considerable defensive positions in situ in the south of England
Hi Connor, I may not of been the only one, but as I recommended it, I'm taking credit. Ever since WW2 military planners of many NATO nations including Britain and Germany have war gamed "Sealion", and the general consensus is, it would never work. The Luftwaffe at the time didn't have a bomb capable of piercing a Battleships armour. Plus during the night there was a plan for destroyer flotillas to make high speed runs through the invasion barges, swamping them without having to fire a shot. If the Royal Navy had been forced to surrender, and there being no European navy to challenge him, and the Royal Navy having more Aircraft Carriers than anyone else at the time, Hitler could have gifted the entire carrier fleet to Japan, and they rock up at Pearl Harbour with 14 carriers instead of 6. Also have a look at The Tizard Mission to the US in 1940, that took Britain's nuclear research over, plus research on the anti-aircraft proximity fuse, and the cavity magnetron, what one US historian called "The Single Most Important Cargo Ever to Land on US Shores". Just imagine if none of that had happened, the P51D Mustang would probable never have been developed, and if the Nazis had developed the bomb, they were working on the "Amerika Bomber" with the range to reach the US. I contend that, if Britain had fallen, Germany Japan and Italy would have ruled the world.
Conner have you watched the 1969 Film The Battle of Britain. It's accurate regarding events you would enjoy it. Prost, um I mean Cheers😊
5:50 how have you still not turned that off, 3 years later?
What do you think about Julian Assange?
Seen a better video done at Sandhurst with Brits & German soldiers .a must see. Cheers
They sound like they are describing Russia Ukraine
Would it be worth it
The last thing the Germans needed was huge losses and then having what’s left on a island
False Memory OCD.
Your reaction to this video is very interesting, but a little too much. A little less reaction would’ve been an improvement.
To give Connor his due he did say right at the beginning before starting the video, that he _would_ be talking through it a lot... He listens, he watches but due to his ADD, he thinks of a point or question, then has to speak straight away or forget what he wants to say... We are all prone to forgetting one point whilst discussing another, but with ADD, it must be even more frustrating to not recall the second point, whilst trying so hard to absorb the information being laid out before him. Also, it _is_ _his_ method of reacting, and learning, which he loves... At least he _does_ listen, and learn, and _is_ willing to ask his followers for their assistance when he's unsure of his grasp of the facts... (_Unlike_ some... Tyler - R/B/W - comes to mind).
My guess is instead of "God save the king", they'd be singing "Deutschland Uberalis" as the national anthem today. And instrad of Kind George the 6th, Edward the 8th would have ruled.
Need better material. Boring. Harry Enfield? Movies? ♥️
Connor loves history, loves learning and it is his channel - upon which he reacts to a wide range of videos. He does plenty of comedy shows series etc...
_Why_ listen if you're not into subjects like this? Come back when he watches comedy, and leave the rest of his followers, and Connor, to enjoy and learn about history and / or alternative histories.
Didn't listen. Too many sensitive people on socials. Just an opinion!
