There were American soldiers fighting in North Africa and Italy before D-day.
ronald yankovich, what on the side of the Axis?
@@mtsenskmtsensk5113 no, the allies. They talk about it in Saving Private Ryan
Yeah, they took Landed in Casablanca and another place during operation sword, and also invaded Sicily and Italy
Edit: I meant operation torch
And also Americans organized the invasion of marocco operation torch and then yeah they fought in Italy where they stuck and then they landed in normady
@@piercecowley255 the Americans landed in Oran in N Africa, codenamed operation torch on November 8th 1942 with the objective of squeezing the German, Vichy French and Italian units out of Africa, using a pincer movement. The British coming from the east and the Americans coming from the west. You’re getting Casablanca confused with the allied leader meeting between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin in 1943, where they discussed where best to attack the axis next in relation to alleviating pressure off of the soviets. They ended up opting for Sicily and Italy as it was described as “the soft underbelly” of the Axis powers, that is to say, the German and Italian defences were weakest in Sicily and southern Italy.
Hi Connor...at 12:20 you wonder about the Allies pushing the Germans out of North Africa...and it is important to know that the US was involved, as were the French, the Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, and many other nations. The US landed troops as part of Operation Torch in November of 1942, but US forces were actively involved in the Atlantic theater well before the US was even officially at war. In July of 1941, a brigade of US Marines took over the defense of Iceland, thus freeing up British and Canadian troops needed in North Africa...immediately after that US patrol aircraft squadrons began operating from Iceland in the battle against German U-Boats. The first US combat action in World War 2 was in April 1941 between a US destroyer and a German U-Boat, but neither ship was destroyed. The first time the US military attacked the Axis in WW2 and destroyed something was in September 1941 when a US Coast Guard ship destroyed a German weather station in Greenland. 🖖✌
I could be wrong but I don't think Canadians ever fought in Africa.
@@robbygood3458 No...not in Africa, you make a valid point. Actually kind of surprising considering how many places they got to.
Operation Torch was a joint British and American operation.
Unfortunately, during every war in history, soldiers inflict atrocities on native women.
It wasn't just the Nazis and Soviets who committed horrible assaults, Brits, Yanks, and even Aussies preyed upon the huddled masses.
Read about "war children" and you'll find that the Allies weren't all sunshine and rainbows.
nazis were not into rape sort of things, just one and only postive side from their radical race ideology, just think how important is rape when your task is to wipe off other races in the camps
Japanese soldiers raped many chinese women as well. Rape during ww2 was rampant especially amongst the young conscripts who were very bitter and were forced to fight.
@@AntiDegenerate1971 The war in Asia was more of a WWI old European style fighting combined with traditional East Asia mindset. Raping happened quite often
I think it's worth pointing out that the actual frontline soldiers were probably not inflicting much atrocities towards the women and other people in general. These are the elites, the spearheads, the soldiers that actually fight the enemy and win battles. This is probably due to many reasons, they are likely more reasonable people in general and they also wouldn't stay for long as they are getting ready for the next battle. It's primarily the occupying forces that will commit these horrible atrocities as they are not really true soldiers in the same respect.
@@jimmychiang4495 Rape of nanking. To this day Japan never apologized and thats one of the reasons China is still very pissed on japan.
On why the Soviets don't tend to be considered co-belligerents to the start of WW2 in the invasion of Poland: So Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1st, the Soviets then invaded on Sept. 17th. This was a part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Treaty. At its face (and what was announced to the world) was that it was a simple non-aggression pact. It actually contained secret clauses where the Soviets pledged to join a future invasion of Poland with Germany once Germany started it. It also divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence where Hitler gave Stalin a free hand to do what he wanted to the Baltic States. Now the big dividing point is because of intent. Stalin had tried a rapprochement to the West throughout the 1930s and was rejected because of Communism, resentment over WW1, cancellation of debts after the October Revolution etc etc. The Soviets were pretty sure another big war was coming and wanted allies, Nazi Germany became a clear one in a "enemy of my enemy" way. Now Stalin Era Soviet secrecy means that hard facts on the Soviet side are pretty hard to find, but it seems likely Stalin had every intention of betraying the Nazis at some point down the road. Soviet actions in Lithuania, Finland, and Romania either directly ignored Molotov-Ribbentrop or at the very least worked against the stated "spirit" of the treaty. Meanwhile, Nazi plans for the Soviets are pretty obvious. Theres no timeline where Stalin and Hitler are friendly to one another. Both sides viewed working together as a necessary evil (London and Moscow would later share a similar relationship to that of Berlin and Moscow). Nazi-Soviet cooperation was very different than the alliance between France & UK or Germany & Italy. Post-war, the view is generally held that the Soviets paid a high enough price battling the Nazis (millions upon millions dead) that the idea of calling them co-belligerents is seen as bit daft (the Polish or the Finns or Estonians etc would greatly disagree). So in summary... its complicated.
Thank You
Америка с Англией привели Гитлера к власти, а в войну вступили только после того как СССР начал побеждать.
Это все что нужно знать об второй мировой.
@@xanata1343 No, people brought Hitler to power.
@@xanata1343ахахха тебе Путин сказал? А то что ссср и Германия вместе напали на Польшу?
@@thetime6530 ты вообще не в курсе дела. Ты забей в тот же Яндекс про нападение Польши на Германию в 39 году и почитай.Именно Польша спровоцировала вторую мировую.

"Operation Torch" is the answer to your question about North Africa.
Short answer is yes, North Africa was a British campaign. Most of the fighting, however, was done using US made lend lease tanks and mobile guns. In addition, a great deal of the forces were ANZAC (I don’t know if that term still applied in WW2 or if they were separate corps). El Alamein was one of the key battles in North Africa and several battalions cut their teeth there, such as the Desert Rats.
And a couple of corrections....most of the fighting was done using British tanks with a few lend lease supplementing what was already there....and the ANZAC's were only a minority of the forces there not the great deal that you claim....and the famed Desert Rats were the British 7th Armoured Brigade who finally ended their war in Germany.
And operation torch, cant forget about that.
The West had already agreed to let the USSR take Berlin in their conference at Yalta in Early 1944. The Western Allies just raced through to take military factories and avoid having a heavily defended area they could hide and do a final stand.
Liberating Netherlands, Belgium and racing to the West of the Elbe river and up to Hamburg and into Austria.
Churchill was very put out by that agreement. He could see what was going to happen with the soviets when peace came, but he was outgunned at that discussion.
@@AlBarzUK Well quite frankly the US was in heavy fighting in the Pacific and standing up against the USSR would have greatly risked a World War 2.5/continuation war against the USSR.
Roosevelt saw it as appeasement to give USSR the satisfaction of taking Berlin
@@TrashskillsRS As if we hadn't already learned that appeasement didn't work in the 1930's leading up to WW2....
@@Oxley016 Appeasement have happened many many times before 1930's and it had happened many times since.
@@Oxley016even if the allies didn’t allow appeasement, Germany was still secretly increasing the military capacity and would be capable of defeating the allies, France and UK had weak governments and incompetent military leadership in that time so it’ll be the same fate.
The darker red colored contry in the Balkans represent Yugoslav partisans under Josiph Bros Tito.
Video contains a significant error...though the text is going by so fast, it is hard to spot. The claim is that the planning for Barbarossa began in December of 1940, but this is incorrect...planning for Barbarossa was ordered in July of 1940, immediately following the fall of France. 🖖✌
That’s correct, Hitler received and authorized the finished planning for Barb in December 1940
Operation Torch was the first American involvememt in Europe.
It was Churchills idea to invade Italy, and America helped to invade Siciliy where many of the Italian-American soldiers had family from.
.
D-day was the first American plan in Europe
The US didn't move fast, it was the UK, US, free French and Canada.
The war could not have been won without the Soviet sacrifice.
That's a brilliant animated map!! I enjoy WW2 history and that was so illuminating!!
I started watching you reacting to British comedy but I admire your intellectual curiosity!! Don't ever lose it!! There's so much to wonder at!!
Alot of countries were fighting battles on mutliple fronts all over the world.
Just like how there were Other nations other than the US and UK at D-day, there were many nations fighting in Africa and many nations fighting in Asia aswell as The USA.
The issue regarding the Allies reaction on the invasion of Poland was based on Germanys behavior prior to the invasion on Poland, through the failure of "appeasement"-politics and Germany annexing country after country, projecting aggression and even more aggression with every success. The Allies did not guarantee to defend Poland against every possible enemy, they only draw a line specifically for Germany. This meant, we will fight you, if you attack Poland. The Soviets also invading Poland was not covered by Allied protection.
I mean, the Soviets did the same thing and Germany honestly had more right to the regions they were annexing then the Soviets had on theirs.
The start of WW2 was not the necessarily the invasion of Poland. The Marco Polo incident in China, the Spanish Civil War, or the invasion of Ethiopia could have all been the 'start'. It was agreed by Allies and Soviets that the Soviets take Berlin. The dark red were Yugo resistance groups. If you want a really interesting story, I suggest reading up on Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. He was a German General in Africa. After the war ended, the Germans many years later looked for the Africans that fought for him and gave them full pension benefits for their war contribution. We was also the only person to tell Hitler to 'go f*ck himself' and live to tell about it.
Actually fun fact there was no race for Berlin the allies and the Soviet Union agreed that the Soviet Union would have Berlin.
We always had no intention of taking Berlin but they also didn't have any intention of letting the Soviet Union control Germany that's why they were racing so much is because they wanted to take as much land as possible outside of Berlin pretty much.
We would see why this was so significant during the Cold War.
The allies actually stopped their advance and allowed the soviets to take Berlin because of what happened during the war.
Yeah...Connor did not see the text that explained how the Allies slowed down to let the USSR take Berlin. 💯✌
It is what they agreed in Yalta, and the west couldn't risk a conflict with the USSR over this land
There was no race for Berlin. The agreement was for the soviets to get Berlin.
The only real race for Berlin was between the Soviet generals.
Then why did they surround Berlin
@@skullmapper4815 because they were fighting the nazis... in berlin? what? I dont get this question
Considering that there were 5 times more German troops on the eastern front than on the western front, and these were mostly wounded and old soldiers
Desserved
AFAIK France and Britain did not have a blanket security guarantee for Poland, but rather a specific pledge to protect it from *Germany*.
Lots of Commonwealth troops in North Africa... and Montgomery of course
That was a really cool video! Thanks for the company 😉
Hi Connor, you need to look up Operation Torch (US in N Africa Nov '42).
The darker Red are the Yugoslavia Patisans who would not come under the USSR influence in the post war.
The first battle of the American army in Europe was when they landed not in Normandy, but in Sicily / Italy in 1943. There they encountered the elite German paratroopers, who fearlessly defended the whole country.
To answer your question
1. American troops first entered combat against Germany in Operation Torch, when you see Algeria (the big country west of Libya) suddenly turn blue.... That's when America showed up
2. We also fought in Italy, operations Husky, Avalanche, and the subsequent march up the Italian peninsula was a joint effort by American and Commonwealth troops
D-Day wasn't the first engagement, it was just the largest... but it's mainly seen as the big allied push because of the effect that it had on the overall war... It forced Germany to fight on a three front war, and drew a lot of German armor away from the Eastern Front, the Germans thought the big Soviet offensive was against army group N. Ukraine, so their remaining panzer divisions they sent to Ukraine, only for the Soviets to attack in Belarus in Operation Bagration, annihilating Army group center (the largest German Army group)... At the same time the Americans launched another invasion in Southern France, and were rapidly advancing to the Rhine and had just liberated Paris. By September of 1944 the war had been decided, roughly a third of the German Army had been annihilated, Germany was fighting on four fronts, it was rapidly seeing its allies withdraw from the war... By November Army group North would be annihilated, and Army group North Ukraine would be mauled and forced into retreat, losing almost all their panzers, Germany very suddenly went from fighting a losing war to being on its last legs, D-Day was far from the sole cause of this, but it was the spark that set off the chain reaction that resulted in the complete annihilation of the Reich within a year
Operation Torch was a joint British and American operation but the Axis forces in North Africa were already in full retreat by then.
@@richardhumphrey2685 Right, I was using it as a time stamp for when America showed up in force.... I didn't mean to imply that it was only the Americans, I probably should have made that clearer.
I highly doubt Americans are taught at school that D-Day was a British operation with the majority of soldiers, ships, tanks, transport barges etc. being British.
And Mulberry Harbours, the pipe line under the sea and RAF air cover.
In caucasus mountains was a big natural hindrance, but main reason was because they lacked enough to break trough. Taking oilfields wouldnt only help germany but also cripple soviets because alot of oil was comming from caucasus.
*american realises ww2 was more a europe thing than american
10:34 - The Maikop oil fields were blown up and were unsuitable for their use.
By all accounts Russian combat troops were no worse than any other country's in terms of their treatment of civilians. It was the, for want of a better word, 'political' soldiery who followed in their footsteps who committed atrocities against civilians for largely propaganda purposes.
poland , hugary and jerman attak cekoslovakia in 1938
It should be noted that the Allies halted their advance on Berlin and let the Soviets take it.
Actually the allies had a halt order to allow the Soviets to make it to Berlin first. This is one of the many things that the allies command did which angered General Patton .
About the rape of German women. There was an order from Stalin that it was impossible to rob and harm the citizens of Germany. There were cases of robbery and revenge, but they were few. In 1945, after a long war, the Soviet Union was devastated on its territory, and therefore Soviet soldiers took trophies with them after the war.
9:44 Astrakhan
Tbf the numbers in this video are not very accurate. Soviets severly lacked troops up to stalingrad. During the battles of kallach, don and stalingrad front the soviets were badly outnumbered. Numerically like 2 vs1 outnumbered. The numbers equalled and started to be in soviets favor around end of 1942 and funny once the numbers equaled germans got squeezed
19:40 that red was yugoslavia under the rule of tito rebeling
Alright mcjibbin…guess it’s time to sub finally lol
19:41 That dark red was the Yugoslav partisans and rebels during ww2
Do you have any plan to watch Pacific War series by Kings and Generals?
Hi Connor .. at 17:18, I feel sorry for the German women who were used as breading stock for perfect race. I feel even more sorry for the children born that way. There was a documentary about their lives after the war. They were despised.
1:09 because Germany did it 1st, the USSR Joined 2.3 weeks later
I cant hold it back
My name is Connor
Im the Android sent by Cyberlife
The expulsion of the Axis forces from North Africa and subsequent invasion of Italy was done by the British, American and Free French forces. D-Day represented the opening of a third front, but it wasn’t America’s entry into the European Theatre
You should deffo watch the casualties of ww2
The battle of the kassarine pass was the first main battle of the American army in northern Africa during the second world war.
12:33 meanwhile the British empire, which is larger than the Soviet Union
The reason the soviet union wasn't judged for invaded Poland like Germany was, was because only Germany's name was on the paper to not invade Poland. Meaning, there was a big ass loophole that any other nation could easily exploit. Meaning, only Germany was not allowed to invade Poland.
Yes there was American's in the North African campagines, some were under the control of General Patton and at times American unit's were given to the British commander "The Spartan General" Montgomery to be used in operations.
General Alexander not Monty.
The north african campaign was the first time americans sent men into the war, in egypt it was only the Australians, canadians, brits, and indians
War in North Africa: US forces were attacking from the west (Moroco)- operation Torch, and British were pushing from Libia.
Operation Torch was both a British and American operation.
US move fast do you mean alliance It was not just America fighting in France
There was British Americans and French in the African Campaign what do you mean ? I tought you known well WW2 and it's common knowledge
Yep there were many that were involved on the allies sides, he's getting the impression that it was just the Americans and the British when it's a lot more complicated than that.
Yep I wonder how he didn’t know that too.
@@melkor3496 Well it's the American education for you, I lived in the US for 2 years and saw it first hand how everything seems to revolve around the US so it doesn't surprise me that he thought that and as Americans go, he's one of the more open ones that want to learn about things around the world, gives you an indicator of how bad things are in the US.
It’s because Britain was there from start to finish whereas the USA were preoccupied in the Pacific and French colonies sided with the axis.
@@XXXTENTAClON227 Britain was also involved in the Far East/Pacific.
The Soviet Union was not considered as the joint starters of ww2 because the UK had a treaty with Poland that if Germany invaded them they will protect Poland, but they didn't have a treaty with Poland for if the Soviets invaded them
well the allies said that if Germany invaded Poland war would happen they never mentioned the soviets!
The audio in this video makes the sound tracks in the video sick
I’m using AirPods 3 if you think I’m crazy.
1:07, because the winners tell the story
Don't forget the British fought from September 1939 to 1945. The first two years mostly alone and America did not enter the war until December 1941. In the first two years the Battle of Britain had been fought and won. Had that Battle been lost Germany would have won the war and it would have been over.
Hahaha Turkey is caught in a ring of fire . and they were wise not to go to war. It was a successful policy of İsmet İnönü, the Turkish President of the period.
So depressing, seeing the Iron Curtain fall over eastern Europe as we approach the end of the video.
Should check Muskogee airmen.
The Reason Why the Soviet Union Wasn't the Main Starter Is due to the guarantee of Poland, the United Kingdom, and France in protecting them from Germany and not the Soviet Union.
Conner if your wondering how the soviets did not start the war was because poland had an alliance with france and great Britain against Germany not the soviets
The USSR attacked Poland because Poland attacked and took away territories during the Civil War in the Russian Empire in the 1920s~, at that time there was simultaneously the First World War and the civil War (the Russian Empire, the USSR, and other factions). She surreptitiously stood up and took the territories, the same thing the USSR did with Germany in relation to Poland.
The Polish-Soviet War was a war of liberation, Poles liberating themselves to create a country for themselves that was taken away from them for over a hundred years. What soviets did to Poland was an unjustified invasion.
@@ncrwadr Тогда получается всем нужно вернуть свои территоиии захваченые 1000 лет назад, ведь война не была оправдаана сегодня ...
We were in in 42. North Africa. We were the reason the axis lost there. Then after Africa America hit Sicily and then Italy proper. All before d day in 44
General Patton was like in 1942 involved,i think Sitchilia or how u say that name.🙂
I would suggest to reaction video channels to try and think of types of end content that could be made by yourself, as like you mentioned, the real value on YT is original content which can get millions of views.
Personally I think walking about where you live with a video camera, asking normal people their opinion on things related to current events, could be great way to create really interesting content. Other channels create this kind of content and get really good followings/views/likes.
I think a question like "Should Germany stop buying Russian gas and oil" would be of great interest to those outside of the US such as the UK, and maybe would also be of interest to Americans who would be happy to give their opinion.
1:49 IT DIDN,T FÏCKÏNG WORK
Americans fought in north africa Sicily Italy france low lands germany
Maybe 2 years ago i went my girlfriends realtives countryhouse in south Estonia.Old house in woods,realy peacful place.Like we all have heard stories form ww2,but there i saw my own eye were Russians bombed Germans and shrapnells was went through house like hot knife throw butter,fist size holes,some bigger some smaller.They told me that Germanz was hiding in cellar,but cellar wasnt under house like lots of houses here,but it was near house and under ground.There was blood in there,probably insured soldiers hided there.
There were US forces in Africa - Patton's first battles were there.
I'd like to illustrate a couple important points here
.
.
Thank you
France and Britain just promised to protect Poland from Germany not the Soviet Union, so that’s why they didn’t declare war on Soviet when they was invading Poland
I suspect that Stalin is tacitly forgiven for helping them start it by helping us finish it
the USSR had tried before to get alliances with the west, but were rejected. The pact with Germany was a necessary evil, and both parties knew that they would have to fight eventually. Hence why the USSR went in rearmament overdrive, even after the pact was signed.
Helping you finish it? It was u who barely helped finish the Germans. Soviets single handed destroyed the german war machine and your puny, pathetic American army just went in at the end
2:05 ja ich german but i mostley understand american but ich das dutchest
Allies didnt attacked USSR because they guaranteed Polish independence only in case of German aggression but not the Soviet
12:34 You sure its a tiny nation?
12:34 Are you kidding me?! First of all, what you said is incorrect, as i believe there weren't only british in here. But even if they were, what does it mean? It is not a huge achievement, germans barely focused on this front. I think that the whole allies effort to ww2 was useless, and it was mainly to prevent the soviet advance, because obviously, could you imagine how the cold wаr would be if they got all of france and maybe even spain?! And to prevent that, it was the whole reason to commit what is known as "D-Day". Yet only when the Germans were already outnumbered and unable to fight, because of how coward the allies truly are.
There's a new series on netflix, how the nazis lost the war. Might answer a few of you're questions.
9:46 - Astrakhan. Yes, you are right, initially the main blow of the Blau plan was assigned to this city. However, it was changed to Stalingrad as a more key and valuable object for cutting off the supply of oil from Baku to the main regions of the USSR.
June 22 ,1941 ,03:45 operation Barbarossa I'm Russian 😢😪😐😤😠😎
По этому видео я наглядно вижу, насколько же у них плохо преподают 2 Мировую... Насколько же поверхностные знания у них о ней...
You anger me with your knowledge do you not think the British were fighting the whole time too
Hold on! Most of the German population backed Hitler and they brought on themselves all that happened until 8 May 1945. As to the Soviet Russians deserving to reach Berlin first, remember that the Brits had been fighting Hitler's forces since 3 Sep 1939 and, for much of 1940/41 alone, albeit supported by the forces of the British Empire and the likes of the Free French, Poles and Norwegians. This video was about the land war and air war, ignoring the war at sea.
Look at the losses of the Germans in the war with Great Britain and in the war with the USSR 😂 That's funny. Germany did not even plan to take over Great Britain
Great Britain has never fought "alone". The USSR did it
@Kenen There's a difference between creating a plan to do something and actually planning to do something, Kenen, like how the USA has created plans for stuff like a zombie apocalypse despite how unlikely and nonsensical it is, such plans only exist to exist, just like German plans to invade Great Britain.
The USSR deserved their revenge on Berlin. Look at how much land they conquered back and the countries they freed in Eastern Europe. Also, the USSR had 27 million casualities.
@@tamamalosi Facts are different from what you think.
France and Britain wussed out when poland was invaded since they were allies and had promised Poland they'd declare war on Germany when it was invaded and that's what alot of people don't know
Why do u look like Elon musk
I would like to also point out that the majority of battle hardened troops were fighting the soviets and we, the western allies mostly came up against poorly trained troops from d-day onward. That’s not to say there were no battle hardened, elite troops fighting the western allies. Several SS panzer grenadier divisions and several Wehrmacht infantry divisions that were considered elite were indeed stationed and expected to fight the western allies and did fight them, but in comparison to the better equipped, trained and battle hardened troops who were fighting the soviets? There’s no contest there. The numbers speak for themselves, I’m sure you’ll agree.
FDR was pro-Soviet, it was Hitler's stupidity that made it possible for FDR to support the Soviets actively (gramps was with Patton in N Africa, then went to Iran to support Lend-Lease). So the Soviets got to be rewarded for "ending" on the right side. But Stalin reverted to form right after.
I think they could only handle one dictator at a time, abd Hitler attacked Poland before Stalin.
One of your best generals [Patton] said: "We defeated the wrong enemy" and he was right.
The issue regarding Poland was based on Germanys behavior prior to the invasion on Poland, through the failure of "appeasement"-politics and Germany annexing country after country, projecting aggression and even more aggression. The Allies did not guarantee to defend Poland against every possible enemy, they only draw a line specifically for Germany. This meant, we will fight you, if you attack Poland.
Sorry are you saying that we shouldnt've fought Hitler?
@@gabrielegenota1480 He quoted Patton and this is ideed what General Patton said after WW2.
Don't put too much into this. I don't think he alinged with the German ideology per se, it just happened that he saw the Soviets as the more dangerous enemy at this point, while being exposed to nice German civilians.
Why Soviet Union is never mentioned as the party which started war? Because history is written by winners.
According to this film, yes! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patton_(film)
