TommyKay Reacts to Oversimplified's video on WW1: • GERMAN REACTS TO WW1! ...
A lot of people were asking for Tommy to watch some Oversimplified videos and finally he decided to give it a go during a 24 hour stream. And what better way to start off than to watch the biggest battle in human history, WW2.
Tommy plays HOI4 all day and now it's time for him to learn a little bit more in depth about the history behind the game. Surprisingly he learns stuff he didn't know and also gives a small story time about his family during this time period. TommyKay is a German so there's bound to me some interesting stories when it comes to his family's past.
REMEMBER! This is all educational and for entertainment! We will moderate comments, so behave yourself and keep it educational.

“Winning a war in the past makes you feel so proud”
I’m a Vietnamese, I can relate.
To be honest, though, if the countries (the US) that we fought went all out, we would have lost. We know how small we are. But we’re still proud that we won some battles, like how the Mongol empire tried to invade us 3 times but failed, French Indochina, etc.
That was a very ugly war that they told us was waged to "stop communism." Stopping communism is not a good reason to drop napalm and agent orange on people living on their own land.
Today, my next door neighbors are Vietnamese, first generation, their grandma cooks for us every month and I help them out with yardwork and tutored their daughter for her SAT. Best neighbors I've ever had.
I'm vietnamese too
im american but i know what america did was wrong
@Welcome to Mars My mom side have some uncle follow Viet Cong, some live rich life because they have conection with the French. The Vietnamese flee (especially desperate one) mostly working for South Vietnam goverment, my grandpa say they pull guillotine all over the South(If those not flee, revenge gonna come and they will not be forgive the warth of people), kill all suspected VC, that moment make our family against each other. Some of my Uncle friend got killed, he's hate South Vietnam to his bone, he go to VC. Some do not want trouble so they stay silent they never point out the other people but they banned VC to enter their house.After the war many VC member in my family were hate the Communist regime, they go to USA, France. But they never understand a word about Capitalism nor Communism. They also Catholic but no longer go to church since they saw other anti-communist kill VC in the church by the most gruesome you could image.
My dad side also have Catholic, French relate great northerner vietnamese grandma, but they got killed by USA bomb. So my Grandpa become soldier for North Vietnam.
You could go to Da Nang I could show you proof.
The War was never on ideology. Pure Greed.
@@_airstar5085 America didn’t do anything wrong. The war was a justified war, the north attacked our ally South Vietnam. It’s the tactics that were bad.

The story about the elderly solider and his reaction is so familiar. My grand-grandfather was on the Belarusian front (Soviet side), and he's been in combat since the beginning of the war until he was hospitalized in 1943. Since his return and until his death, he always refused to talk when anyone asked him about the war.
R.I.P.
My grandfather fought in the Pacific Theater and even though he was on the winning side he still didn't like to talk about the war. When my mom was growing up he'd tell the "funny" stories about shenanigans in camp and things like that, but never any real "war stories". I'd ask about the war sometimes as a boy, and he'd tell me the same kind of story he told my mom but never anything combat related.
My dad did manage to get a few combat stories out of him. He told them to me second-hand when I was a teenager (after my grandfather passed) and then I had an idea as to why gramps didn't like discussing it.
poor men :(
I have a similar story, my grandfather was just 5 years old when the war ended but he lost most of hist family, when they were bombed while fleeing from the front. They were caught up by a russian collumn of trucks, that was driving next to them on the road and the Luftwaffe decided to bomb the trucks, despite the many refugees next to them. My grandfathers grandmother saved his life by throwing herself on him, she died, his mother died and his 3 year old sister died a couple of days later from a shrapnelwound, my grandfather himself had his legs badly injured by the bombings and needed to relearn walking after they had healed, he spend most his time in bed drawing and became a painter later in life because of this

I wanna see hitlers live reaction
It's a lie to say Stalin didn't expect the betray of Hitler but it's True that he didn't expect Hitler attack him while he has Allies in the west.
I think it was something along the lines of stalin thought war was inevitable but didn’t think Hitler was crazy enough to do it
@@hawkerben1158 of course nobody would think anybody is crazy enough to invade at that time,since Germany already had plenty of enemies,they kinda feel like they just spammed the declare war button on whoever they could
Soviet spies had information on the planned invasion but Stalin thought it was a trick by the allies to make him fight Germany so he ignored his spies
Stalin knew Hitler was gonna invade him. He didnt expect Hitler to invade him so early. That's why the Germans got so far in the beginning. The Soviets were unprepared
Stalin had his own plan to invade Germany before they became too powerful. If Germany had knocked out Britian, Stalin would've invaded and caught Germany by surprise, just like the Germans did. This ultimately would've been a deciding factor in the war against Germany, as an attack into GERMAN territory would've seen more partisans fighting the Soviets than the amount of Partisans fighting the Germans IRL. Even the Poles would've taken up arms against the Russians, not wanting to become a puppet of them either. In the end Stalin has his own Barbarossa disaster. Danzig or Königsberg becomes this universe's Stalingrad, and Stettin most likely becomes the Leningrad of this universe. German research priorities immediately ramp up, and they come up with designs faster due to the Russian Invasion. I see a total rout of Soviet forces on the Delta of the Vistula, seeing the turning point in the East. Now demoralized and on the retreat, the Soviet Union, instead of Germany would be more willing to sign a peace.
Fun fact. My Japanese family moved from Hiroshima to Tokyo a day before the bomb fell. Also my mother remembers when she was young a lot of family vets talking about the war. Wish I was there to hear first accounts of the Japanese soldiers.
They dodged a major bullet
That's just pure luck

Thank god
“Hitler should’ve listened to his generals” - BIG misconception. He listened to his generals way more than he did not before 1944. In the battle of Kursk, he said that he stayed up all night from his stomach turning at the thought of the battle plan his generals made, and went with it anyways. His generals would also go on to say “he didn’t listen to us” so the losses wouldn’t fall on them, and to paint hitler more as a crazy leader they had to follow, than the crazy leader that they chose to follow. Not to be too much of a Hitler defender lmao, just an interesting bit of history
didn't know that
They would’ve captured Kursk if it wasn’t for the allies coming from the west
He listened to his generals too when Normandy happened. Only Rommel and guderian thinks Allies rush into the Normandy. Other generals are Calais. So huge amount of German defence were in Calais.
@@TommyKay Hitler's generals were not loyal at all. One thing the oversimplified video does mention is Hitler's general staff actually planned on giving him bad invasions plans for France on purpose, in the hopes that Germany would lose and depose Hitler. Erich Manstein was one of the only generals who came up with real plans of attack, and gave them to Hitler. It was him that actually came up with the Ardennes strategy to get around the Maginot, sending 50 divisions through some of the worst terrain in norther Europe? The French commanders didn't believe it was happening when their reconnaissance planes returned with reports of it. Maybe for pride/glory, or maybe he really wanted the nazis to win, Manstein's brilliant victory basically prompted the rest of the war. Its crazy to think that if he just listened to the other generals and mislead Hitler the war might not of happened, opr would have been extremely quck, and millions upon millions would still be alive.
Actually at the battleof Kursk he didn't listen to his general, Heinz Guderian suggested various defensive smaller battles at villiges and towns, draining Soviets, while his other general suggested that they should do a major decisive battle at Kursk and win them over one battle and turn the war, so Hitler didn't listen to Guderian which would've succeeded.
"Why not Tokyo?" Tommy Tokyo had already been firebombed to oblivion. The Allied terror bombing campaigns against Germany and Japan were far more deadly than the nuclear bombs combined.
Same with German air raids, if they didn't use heavy incendiaries as additives for fuel they would've done it. They had uboats sinking civilian ships.
Oh and Japan's attack against China
Also(and I assume hat he said “why not nuke tokyo” ) because killing the leadership would be very very bad.
I think the primary reason would be that annihilating the government in a nuclear blast on Tokyo would’ve left Japan with no central authority to even surrender tbh
@@silversnakeproductions3241 Both Tokyo and Kyoto were on the list for the nukes, but president Truman declared if the US was to destroy a people, they would not erase their culture.

My grandpa died in Auschwitz... he fell out of the guard tower... (while aiming)...
My grandfather was a Tank Commander in the British 8th Army in North Africa.He took a direct hit on the first day of the battle, he never spoke of the horrors he faced to me. It’s only through asking family members about it I have found things out. But 1 thing I do know is that he never hated Germany or it’s people, it was the rulers that Germany had it the time. The German soldiers where carrying out order’s just like the British soldiers where. Thank you for sharing a video like this, as a nation we are not taught the German perspective on both WW1 or WW2.
It was the same with my Grandpa an Armenian captain in the Soviet Army, He never described Nazis as monsters or someone to hate in his writings and the stories he told to my previous generation. He was a very respective man...
The greatest nonsense I have ever read. Hitler won the election democratically. When Adolf asked the people of Germany if they were ready for total war who shouted "YES" ? I'm glad that your grandfather didn't experience daily cruelty from ordinary Germans and can now talk such nonsense to you.
I heavily doubt that every German agreed with Hitler. And yes, some Germans would be down with hitler because the previous government was so bad it led to a lot of death. Also he most likely didn’t ask the Germans if they were ready for total war, because that would not be very smart.
@@patrykolech9930 that was Goebbels not Hitler, it was in 1943 not in 1933 and done with a carefully picked crowed, you are clueless

37:00 same story with my grandfather (Russian). He never talked about the war with his family. Only in a very rare moments when his war comrades would come and they drunk a little to much. And those stories were depressing.
Grand-uncle also didn't talk about the war, but it didn't let him go. He would often scream at night. One night, when he was screaming, my dad, a young man at that time, came into his room and asked if he was ok. Grand-uncle, in half-awaken state of mind, would shout "Misha! What are you doing here! Run! Germans are near by!". "The war is over, uncle. We are safe at home" - father replied. ...

I once spoke with an albanian war veteran, he said that when he was his son's age, he was training in the army, sleeping 4 hours, then running straight for 15 km, then running back, and then having breakfast, with a piece of hard bread and some warm tea
He then said: "I want to cry when I see young people insulting each other or being rude for nothing, they don't know how good they have it, because of all the work that was done during my generation.
When I was young, there was no such thing as going out and buying a snack or a dinner or something to eat, only the richest could do that,
Everyone else had to work from time to time to eat something and the choice was not such as it is today.
If I wanted to eat I had to either cook for 4 hours, or obey someone's orders"

He has spoken some harsh truth words. Even after ww2 communism came to Albania and everyone was at work. There was no such thing as going out to have fun. Everyone starting from childrens, youth, adult and elder people were involved in communist Albania.

My grandfather fought on the eastern front for 6 years and survived by being shot and having to be sent to a hospital. This ultimately saved him as shortly after his position was overrun and all his friends he knew for years passed away. After being captured by the Russians and being in Siberia my grandmother and later on my father knew to never ask about the war. I was too young to ask before he passed away and was only able to find out about this from my father who asked him and only got this story as an answer, and I really understand why so many veterans do not want to talk about what happened…

My great great grandfather died in 1984, but his wife, she told me about both the wars. She was the ONLY survivor of her village by 1943, she was the last of her bloodline by 1918.

I watched a German movie called "Stalingrad". At least that is the name I saw in English. Anyways, it starts with young German boys in training. Then they are going off to the Eastern front and everyone is happy and confidant after the fall of France. They show each other propaganda news and you can tell they are living in a police state. No one questions anything at all. They move farther and farther east until they end up in Stalingrad. Over time things get worse and worse in the city. The young kids faces grow old. Their friends slowly die. At the end of the movie very few are alive in the original unit. It ends on an airstrip covered in snow with a blizzard all around. The last German flights leaving Stalingrad flying away. These young boys had no idea what was really going on. The last shot is one German soldier holding another, his last friend, who just froze to death. Then he dies as well. Both froze to death on an airstrip in Stalingrad.
It takes real balls to tell the truth. The human story. Not just paint people as angles or devils. Show what really goes on in war. It was a fantastic movie.

“Unser mutter, Unser Vater” (also called Generation War) is also good German WW2 movie/series with a heartbreaking story, you would enjoy it
My grandfather (mothers side) was born in 1911. He saw two World Wars. He barely talked about WW2. He was on the east front. And I never met him because he died a couple of month before my birth. He died in February 1984, I was born in August 1984. He was involved in the battle of Stalingrad. All his comrads died. My Mom says, she got him back with my birth...
My other grandfather was younger (born 1927) and he was alive until 2013. Okay... not "alive"... he had dementia. But had to fight on the western front. With 16 he was drafted. When I was young he told us the harmless stories about "Flak-Helfer" and a plane which was spotted was shot down. But when I turned 18 he told me that he - naively on that time - thought everything was just a game... war hitted him.
He was in the forest of the netherlands and a US division approached. They had their rifles put next to a tree. The US soldiers saw those rifles and thought: Germans around here!!! On battle stations!!!
In real there were just a couple of teenagers who thought they were camping.
My grandfather and his friends jumped into to trench. When they looked up MG-fire holded them down. He even told me that mortar fire holded them down. In that moment he thought: thats it. I am going to die here.
He was saved by a german Panzer-Brigade. The commander said: What are you doing here. You are children. You don't belong here! Get back home!
This story couldn't be telled if all of this didn't happenend. My fathers father was the only child. My great grandfather died befor the Nazis could take on power in 1933.
If my fathers father died... there wouldn't be 8 children. And not 23 grand children.

Russian here. Congratulations, you beat our asses back then, I am very sorry for this war
That story about your aunt’s father in-law reminded me of my grandpa who fought as a Filipino guerrilla against the Japanese. He was this cheerful filipino man who always told jokes and had a smile on his face, yet he never talked about the war. I am sad I was too young to spend time with him when he was younger, but slowly his mind and body started to deteriorate as he became older.
Before he died in 2016, he couldn’t go down the stairs by himself, and he barely remembered what he ate for breakfast. One day when we were visiting, he finally started to open up about his experience from the war. This smiling man grew to a somber and frightened man as he remembered how the Japanese executed his fellow villagers and put their bodies on display.
I always heard stories about the European and Pacific theaters from Americans, or the survivors of occupied Germany, but until then I had never heard the experience under occupied Japan. Even now it seems that the bombings (This is not an opinion on the morality of their use) have overshadowed the brutal conditions of living in occupied Japan.
😢 Enough a grown man cry
I feel you on that man. My great grandfather was a Philippine Scout from Pangasinan and fought around his province all the way to Luzon. Unfortunately, that’s all I know about him because apparently my grandma said he died a year after the war. The war affected them deeply. They lost their farm and had to move to Manila every once in a while to find work. Despite never meeting my great grandfather, I just couldn’t imagine the things that happened to him during the war.

Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henry Zygalski they cracked the enigma code
Nah it was Turing
@@IshijimaKairo they cracked it First but the method was to slow to be used practically
They did. But then the germs changed the codes. So the brits did this one
Yup, 3 polish boys cracked enigma code first, they sended this information to UK. But then germans added more complex codes.
btw the most saddest thing is that UK forced polish squadron 303 to pay for fuel and for borrowing british planes, even when this squadron killed a huge amout of german planes and did a big impact on the air. Keep in mind, everyone can be asshole. Even democracts.
@Towarzysz Wiedźmin exactly, without knowledge how Poles cracked the code the first time, Thurings invention would have been just as usefull as a clock.
Just to clarify, Turing's work to crack enigma was partially made on polish achievements, Marian Rejewski has very similar participation to breaking enigma as Turing
That explains Poland's focus
Poland did a lot of the legwork on cracking the Enigma and laying the groundwork. Turing's genius was coming up with a machine capable of doing what the Poles could do a million times faster, which itself is quite the achievement.

My family came to Brazil in 1900, they were from Abruzzo, Italy. When the great war broke out, 2 of my grandma's uncles were called, and got back to Italy, to fight in the alps.

As a Finn I may comment on your opinnion about us being proud of the Winter War.
Yes, we're proud of how the world recognises us because of the war. But most of us dont see it as a victory, as we lost thousands of men, which is a lot to a smaller nation. We also had to refugee around 400 thousand Karelians from the lost areas, which was a struggle. We also fucked up by doing the Continuation War, as we lost even more territory and men.
But it could be a lot worse, as some historians have theories that we could have been genocided by the soviets if we lost completely.
So overall, we're proud, but with honor and respect.
I don’t really know man. Most Finns I’ve seen consider it a victory because we kept our independence.
Genocide by the USSR? I don't it considering the fact that the Baltic peoples still exist. Unless if you mean that the winter war was as bloody as it was historically. Then that could've happened. Anyone know any Russian veterans from Sumosalmi (I butchered that didn't I?)

Watch Vlogging Through History he's a history teacher and gives way more insightful comments. Yes he has relations to all this too.
Great grandfather on my mothers side fought for Germany in the war. He never spoke about it but he had a lot of memorabilia at his home. We'd see him every Christmas and we'd visit him in Germany often, or when we could afford to do so and for his birthdays. We found out after he'd passed away that he was transferred to Norway around a year or so before the war had ended in Europe. He'd been stationed on the Eastern front for the majority of the war but upset some higher ups, hence his posting to Norway. We found pictures of him in France, Belgium, Poland and Russia. Medals, diaries, insignia off uniforms, little tins containing coins, bullet casings, sketches etc.
We also found a letter detailing something he'd said to a group of some of the other officers about his willingness to carry on fighting and his hatred of the SS and how badly they portrayed the German army. Whatever he specifically did or said though, I think it saved his life. If he'd have stayed on the Eastern front, he'd have died there.
After my grandfather died his record was released. He told us he was a cook, in all reality he was OSS in the US Army. He fought in both main theaters, and was a plank owner of the CIA office in Manila. Also his sister was a missionary that was trapped by the Japanese in the Philippines. She was held as a POW in the compound of the Manila College. My grandfather was involved in the operation to take Manila. They never saw one another. But it's a crazy story.

32:03 it was either the nuke or even more brutal battle for mainland japan
Their choices for Nagasaki and Hiroshima were due to several factors. 1.) General damage that could be achieved. 2.) Lack of historical sites that would be destroyed. 3.) Military buildup in the area. 4.) Ease of access to the air over the cities for the bombers and escorts.
The allies wanted to cause damage to Japan's infrastructure, not their culture or history. Bombing Tokyo could kill heads of state needed for negotiations, destroy several historical sites, and eradicate cultural trends being established in the growing megacity.
The Nazis were a movement of WW1 veterans. So claiming that people who advocate for war don't know what they are talking about is completely false.
Miniature Jayhawk A few embittered old people led countless young people into an horrible war. So not completely false at all.
Avae I doubt that. WW1 definitely hit both sides pretty hard, even if the battles happened mainly on France’s soil. Economy takes a hit and people’s living condition drop. The war was instigated by the imperialist government of both sides. It wasn’t a war the average citizen wanted.
Avae Ok what’s your source
Edit; I just remembered that because the fighting took mainly place in France and because of the propaganda machine the German population thought they we’re winning. So you could be right, in a sense. Although The population wouldn’t have wish for the war to continue had they know the truth of the situation.
Avae I hope not, I wouldn’t get my money’s worth.
Not completely false. Depends why -who is advocating for war. Soft spoiled privileged western revolutionary wannabes today...have no idea what are they asking for, when they call for revolution -no less.
One of my Grandpas whenever I asked about the war would always respond in a similar way. There was a look in his eyes that you just don't forget, when he passed away I come to find out he was sharpshooter in his infantry battalion. On his deathbed he wept and regretted the lives of the German boys he had taken who were robbed of the life he was able to live. Yeah, I would not want to talk about that either.

17:28 Polish mathematicians cracked the enigma. There is a movie about it too. "Rejewski and colleagues were the heroes of Sekret Enigmy (The Enigma Secret), a thriller movie about the Poles' solution of the German Enigma cipher." The Polish mathematicians handed the Brits their work shortly before war broke out in 1939.
This is from a BBC article -
"They invited the French and British and explained all their codebreaking methods and handed over a Polish mock up of the Enigma machine which they'd made," explained Mr Gallehawk.
"It was the Polish contribution towards the common enemy but it is quite a magnanimous gift for one country to reveal its intelligence secrets to another."
Mr Gallehawk explained that as war approached, the Germans were changing the settings every day and this was too much for Polish resources to deal with.
So the machine was handed over to codebreakers at Bletchley who developed the technique and the first German message was broken in January 1940.

I guess you can imagine how horrifying the history class in Germany is. The main focus (in class) of the second war wasn't the war itself, it was the killing of millions of innocent Jews. The way Hitler made everyone hate Jews, the way they slowly lost their human rights and the way they were specifically murdered...

Turing killed himself with an apple laced with cyanide and that is why apple has that as its logo
A brilliant apocryphal story, but Stephen Fry asked Steve Jobs whether it was true or not and he said, it wasn't, but wished it were.
That's messed up
That's odd, because their original logo was a picture of Newton sat under an apple tree - the apple falling from the tree being the inspirational moment that led to greater knowledge. The later logo with the stylised apple had the bite out of it to give a sense of scale so that it was obviously an apple and not a cherry. It's reputed that Steve Jobs chose the name Apple because he worked picking Apples when he was younger and he named the Macintosh after his favourite variety of the fruit. In an interview, the Woz said they were throwing ideas around for the name of their new company during a car journey when Jobs suggested Apple - and since neither could think of anything better at the time the name stuck.
