Manstein is the general who really developed the Blitzkrieg and perfected the roll of the German storm troopers in the invasion poland in the very beginning of WW2. Pervatin (methamphetamine) was also given out generously to the troops as well to secure a 3 day forward charge.
Manstein did NOT develop the "blitzkrieg" . It was Guderian and Thoma with influences from JC Fuller. Manstein however, was a great practioner of Blitzkrieg.
Fun Fact: Storm Troopers or "Sturmtruppen" was the name given to the Canadians by the Germans in WW1 for their notable speed, accuracy and effectiveness. In WW2 the Germans just used that name for themselves to heighten their moral but were not the original Sturmtruppen.
That’s fine the nazis documented enough of their own crimes, so you can rest assured that they were most definitely the bad guys despite history being written by their victorious allies.
Make sure your stormtroopers are well fed,it's my understanding that the offensive stalled due to pilfering of enemy supplies found as they advanced.coul be wrong ,please inform. This is ww1 now.
I thought that it was a good a very well documentary. I love military history and enjoyed the information . Thanks for sharing respectfully Dave vlackburn
I cam still vividly remember my Dad buying me my first Star Wars action figure in 1978. I got the Stormtrooper. My Dad asked me, "Don't you want Luke Skywalker?" And I said no.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Professional class A research project!!!

@@Nellis202or had they not been completely choked and basically forced into war after WWI, and then again being provoked numerous times prior to WWII, western propaganda has brainwashed everyone into thinking hitler did all this for no reason.

No, they did not unleash Blitzkrieg, as this term was coined after the war. What the germans did was what they have always done. And this doctrin was and is called "Bewegungskrieg"

The Wehrmacht actually arrested SS troops at the beginning of the war until Hitler stepped in and had them freed. Hitler then made SS troops free from further prosecution by the Wehrmacht. was the Waffen S.S. really an “elite” fighting force? Curiously, it’s not what many Wehrmacht soldiers at the time said, and they often looked down on S.S. soldiers and considered them to be unprofessional,
They were just more ruthless and willing to commit mass murder, even to civilians, which professional soldiers at the wars beginning thought to be immoral and dishonorable.
Yes...Two Aliens were discussing earth and humans,one said: "They show signs of intelligence having learnt about nuclear power and bombs" "Yes" replied the the other, "But they are pointing the bombs at themselves "
Yea, it really makes you think doesn’t it. It’s almost like the allied forces had been starving Germany from the outside, all while their money became useless post ww1. I’d do anything for the guy who saved my homeland from total starvation/oppression too.
Probably had the best uniforms in the known galaxy, but these guys couldn’t hit the side of a Galactic Cruiser™️ if they were standing five cubits away from it.
A lot of video footage are not from the period/battles being narrated. In addition, some pre-war training/propaganda footage were also edited with actual war footage for the producers of this video for creative effect. Didn't finished watching this video for such "creative" editing!
I always kinda was interested in stormtroopers I didn't realize that Darth Vader didn't;t invent the term ... I was shocked to find out about the shock troopers as well .
While informative and the use of British narrators is excellent , the continuity is doubtful at best and often ridiculous. Talking of Poland but showing King Tiger tanks , pathetic Showing again Poland and then T34 tanks , stupid. I recently watched a show on the B24 Liberator bomber and despite thousands of miles of footage regarding the most numerous bomber of WW2 they showed an Avro Lancaster bomber while talking about the B24, tells me one thing . The editors the researchers dont know their jobs, if they claim too , then they should be fired.
Outstanding documentary. I both shared n saved.😊
Steel nerves are required to cope with and fight days and days in these battles.... Salute to all those brave men of both sides..
Not really. The Germans were high on meth!
That had to be a satchel charge at 20:35, no hand grenade did that.
I remember this classic series has a long intro. Over 2 mins.
MORE THAN 3 MINUTES LONG OF "INTRO" before the feature!
Talk about long winded...you won't get many sub this way.😂😅

These special forces remain unmatched. In my opinion, they remain unmatched to this present day.
Off their heads on meth! (Called Pervitin at the time.)
They were murdering bitches. No testerone at all
Have you not seen us marines?
Remember the winners write history
That’s fine the nazis documented enough of their own crimes, so you can rest assured that they were most definitely the bad guys despite history being written by their victorious allies.
At 20:36 i dont think it was a grenade, rather the early use of plastic explosives.
Yeah that explosion was way too big to be a grenade. Probably c4
@@dirtboy896 C4 didn’t go into production until 1956
It could have been secondary detonation of munitions stored in the room the grenade landed in, and the grenade landed at just the right spot
Make sure your stormtroopers are well fed,it's my understanding that the offensive stalled due to pilfering of enemy supplies found as they advanced.coul be wrong ,please inform. This is ww1 now.
Yeah that had a big effect for sure, but also the allies started tightening their defenses up as the Germans progressed farther in their attacks
I thought that it was a good a very well documentary. I love military history and enjoyed the information . Thanks for sharing respectfully Dave vlackburn
These Jansen documentaries have many good qualities, however, most of the time, the excellent film footage has nothing to do with the narration.
I cam still vividly remember my Dad buying me my first Star Wars action figure in 1978. I got the Stormtrooper. My Dad asked me, "Don't you want Luke Skywalker?" And I said no.
And your point is?
I’m not sure if this is a joke or if he commented before watching the video lmao
I had a stormtrooper and a Han Solo ... Luke ? hell who wanted that one anyway ,
Who gives af
Storm troopers are WWI. WWII used various groups like panzergrenadiers and Fellschirmjaeger
Based on Stormtroopers..
Which they say in the documentary? did you even watch it?
Fallschirmjäger
The sound quality of this video was sub-par... how unfortunate.

@TheYeti308: No. The BBC production was called "World at War". Definitely worth looking up. Made when the BBC made decent programmes.

Meth meth and more meth in german soldiers was the main reason them did so good in the beginning of war .. Soo Drugs must be good then?
Hellbent on annihilation of communism...burned half the world trying to accomplish that.
And ohhhh the many lives that would have been saved.

Yeah and then they decided to kill all the Jews!
Yeah you want to spew your shit, but the facts is different!
You have no idea...
You know when the space shuttle was revealed it was in development for 20 years!
Moral of the story never say peace in our time to a homicidal maniac.
Ya for sure. He waved a paper that he signed and then declared war. And they call hitler a maniac
The scary sounds of the Nebelwerfers at 35:30 😵💫
agree - very scary. sounds of war - hard to believe after ww2 humanity did not become pacifist.

Why? In 1939, the seance of Invasion of Poland, the "King Tiger" Tank (built in 1944) appears. This is FAKE film.
Probably had the best uniforms in the known galaxy, but these guys couldn’t hit the side of a Galactic Cruiser™️ if they were standing five cubits away from it.
