- The Battle of the Bulge was the bloodiest single battle fought by the United States in World War II. In today's educational animated cartoon we look at one of the most brutal battles of World War II, Germany's last major offensive before loosing the war, The Battle of the Bulge. Could the military have done something different? We know it's the year 2019 and we look at it differently, but let's analyze this war in today's episode - The Battle of the Bulge

Hey

“Sir we are surrounded”
“Great that means we can fire in any direction”
Positive thinking right there my friend.
I never really thought that was an impressive quote. Like really?
Outstanding move
Wrong war, that was Korea and it was said by chesty puller
Daniel Kelley trust me I’m aware man I was an 0311. I just like the line, too epic to have only been said once
German Commander: "You're surrounded; surrender or get rekt."
American Commander: "No u."
The real answer was “nuts”
german commander:ur mom
Americans when faced with impossible odds we would rather go down fighting

“They want to surrender?”

My grandfather fought in this battle. He was part of Patton's 3rd army and was in a tank destroyer. He was the person who aimed the tank destroyer's turret and also manned the machine gun. He told my dad about a time where he was checking a destroyed German tank and saw the charred bodies of young Germans.
The real battle of the bulge is when it’s your turn to present your project.
Porké Chop 😂😂😂
That's why you go to the bathroom before making an oral presentation!
Nah, just go up to the presentation with the bulge

My grandfather was in the first infantry division, of the US army during the battle. At some point during the battle, he actually caught German artillery that badly damaged both of his legs, and the pain was excruciating enough to make him pass out, but it was the extremely bitter cold weather than actually kept him alive, because his wounds actually froze shut. He was missing in action for three days as a result of this, it was only after they started looking at those alive and those who weren’t after the battle ended in that section that they discovered him. He ended up spending nine months in a military hospital in the United Kingdom, and then another year and a half at one in Texas. I actually still have the letters that were sent from the department of war at the time, to his mother. And the letter that stated he was found and badly injured. He ended up finding his wife (my grandmother) while he was hitchhiking home, and they were married for for a little over 50 years before she died, with my grandfather finally passing at 90 in 2016.
Dude, your grandfather was badass
@@connorstafiej5936 germans are so cool
My father-in-law fought in the Battle of Bulge. It was traumatizing for him, that he only spoke about a few times. He passed away in 2021 at 96 years old. He had quit school at 12 years old during the Great Depression to work and to help feed his family. Returned from the war and spent 6 months in a VA hospital. Then went to work and attended college classes on the GI bill. Became a very successful businessman! We have always been so very proud of him! My husband is an only child and it’s been really hard for him. We have my father-in-law’s medals. Truly, the greatest generation! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@The-kr9rb I'll take that as a compliment!
What does that have to do with the video?
This story best told in the Longest Winter by Alex Kershaw in amazing detail of Lyle Bouck and his 17 other soldiers who bravely kept the Germans at bay giving the Americans enough time to reach a safe line of defense. They spent the rest of the war in POW camps starving to death and disfigured from their wounds. America only recognized them 30 whole years later with no one. receiving the Medal of Honor. These men deserved more than this.

My grandfather on my mom's side was in this battle. He marched along side the tanks with a bazooka disabling and enemy artillery he could before being blown off the side of a tank. He was thought dead after being partially frozen from the waist down.

Can we take a moment and understand that this is one of the BEST made infographics show clip produced? they basically lumped so many facts and recounts altogether. my cheers and salutes. and on behalf of everyone thats tuning in, welcome to the infographics show.

This is an awesome video. My grandfather fought in this battle along with 4 other major battles. He never spoke of any of it besides how cold it was. He was one of the best men I have ever met! Thanks for the video.
I feel like 80% of the people that watch this video just go straight to the comments and barely even pay attention to the video.
My Grandfather was wounded in Battle of the Bulge. Took a bullet to the hip. Was a POW until late March. A few years later he marries my Grandma who is partly German. At his 50th POW reunion he stayed with a local German couple and invited them to visit us in Oregon (a few years later they did).
What's with the background music? I want a dramatic or a war music, not some song from a store

You used a Indonesia Flag instead of a Poland flag, weird flex but ok
They used the Dutch flag instead of the luxembourgish flag
It's not okay with me. I'm second generation Polish American and am particularly fond of Polish history. Its flag represents centuries of history. I am a U.S. citizen first and foremost but how would people feel if it was the U.S. flag flown upside down. We all know what that means.

Kind of looks like a Dutch flag with striped and stars
HAHAHA I noticed that too
I just stumbled on one of your videos ... that was like five videos ago. I've never been more interested in history in my life! This is amazing.
So dope. Thanks for the content. Love nerding out on this kinda stuff
2:01 why is there monako flag?
You are right.
How can you mix up a polish flag with Monaco/Indoniesian flag?
The flag of Luxembourg also got mixed-up with the Dutch flag.
Could be indonesian too
first of all it's monaco not monako and secondly its also the indonesian flag
I didnt know troops had M4's in 1944...
Edit: They changed the Thumbnail now
Infographics Show has become really lazy as of late.
Where in this video did you see an M4?
@@jacksonmoon8056 thumbnail
They did have M4s. Thousands of them. They were also known as the Sherman.
@@Wallyworld30 GOT EM
At the battle of Lanzarath, the I&R platoon was in the woods across from the village. They were trying to remain hidden but a little girl in the village ran out and stopped the passing Germans and was seen pointing in the direction of the Americans. That's how the Germans found them. Amazingly, no American was killed. They held the Germans up all day before being captured. That night while being captured , Lt. Bouck turned 21 years old. For their heroism, they became the most decorated platoon of WW2. I HIGHLY recommend reading "The Longest Winter", It is their story.
Germany: surrender or be annihilated
Allies: hold my beer
Great video!! Thank you for continuing to make awsome content!
Thanks! ♥️
My grandfather served in WW2 in the western front. He wasn't there on D-Day, but he got there around Operation Cobra. Then a Panzerschrek (if thats how you spell it) blew up the half-track he was riding in and was the only serviver. He was hospitalized in France for a week and was about to be honerably discharged, but he refused and was redeployed a day before the battle of the bulge. And fought in the battle of the bulge in Belgium. And fought some more in Germany and earned a Purple Heart, and a Medal of Honor ( I still have those). He sold his M1 Garand and german SMGs to a muesam during the 60's (dum move bro). He and his 4 brothers all came home. He was in the Army with Patton as his General.
My great grandfather was a soldier of the US Army driving tanks in the Battle of the Bulge. I have just recently figured all this out so I wanted to do more research on the war
Who else loves the way they make their art
Annoyed period correct weapons weren't represented in the thumbnail
And the whole video
Lol they changed it
pump action shot guns were in use and they had been since the Americans entered the trenches in World War l they were used when Americans went on raiding missions on the enemy trench. Historical Fact , if an American was captured by the enemy in The Great War they'd be immediately executed under the orders of Kaiser Wilhelm ll
In the original thumbnail they had m-16s
I went to Bastogne this last summer and it was so neat and interesting learning about how the 101st held out against the German Army and at a little park in the middle of the town there is a Sherman tank there that you can check out
This is a great animation. Better than ur other vids. Goodjob editors!
This is the best. Keep it up infographics !
i was gonna say "OWO WHATS THIS *notices bulge battle*" but it turns out everyone was saying it... so..
i lost all purpose in living!
yay
Thanks for not saying it
Umm, what is wrong with you
What don't you guys make a video on Battle of Saragahri 21 soldiers vs 10,000 invaders
That would be an amazing video. Those Sikh soldiers held it down like absolute savages for as long as they could. They fought valiantly and died with honor.
That would be amazing
They lost but basically became Japanese(smart)soldiers and fought until
Well,they die
Unlike the Japanese charging into enemy machine gun fire,they fired muskets in tactical positions
So much Respect to Easy Company & all other Vets at the battle. So much respect.
The music and the commentary sure made that intense. That was pretty fun to watch.
Thanks infographics for informing us so much history!
Taisen's Cool Stuff this is a very historically inaccurate video
This video was low on accuracy. 6/10. Watch the Series Band of Brothers it will blow your mind if you enjoyed this.
Thank you! ♥

My great grandpa was an artillery commander and his unit pushed forward so fast that the tractors pulling the 155mm howitzer lost most if not all of their spare bogeys. Also when he jumped out of his jeep to direct the positions of the guns he only 1 of his 4 howitzers.

My great grandpa John was there. I was told he was an important soldier at that battle. I don't know what he did exactly. He didn't talk about the war much. He survived to 1998 and I was 12. He was a decorated American hero and a wonderful man.
Wasn't really mentioned in this video but many American soldiers committed war crimes towards the end of this particular battle. It was very common for the ones who returned home to avoid talking about it.
@@prochey69 I very much doubt he committed any war crimes. I think he just didn't like talking about it like a lot of soldiers don't like to talk about war. It can bring back bad memories and grief over the people who were lost. He was in more than just that battle and he didn't talk about anything to do with the war. They only thing I know is he and his buddies came across a huge snake that he said was as big around as his arm. He didn't talk about basic training, people he knew there, or anything else.
@@thechosenone9769 didn't mean to imply that he may have committed them himself, just meant that he could have witnessed them or known people involved, many people were specifically directed not to discuss it at all.
I live close to the ardenne and up regularly there to film
Would you tell me his story
@@prochey69 "Many" is a bit of an overstatement. Americans didn't commit war crimes anywhere near the scale as some of the other countries involved.
