Unknown5 didn't notice at all
Oh, greatest deceptions, well mine is when my girlfriend said she wasn't cheating on me
Unknown5 get better soon
Unknown5 2 man managed to conquered a jewish fortress in a night
The ANZAC retreat in Gallipoli 1916 springs to mind
The use of clones to carry out Order 66 should be on this list
Well , guess I will look that up ! ( Canadian here ) .
Lol I too am a Canadian and I too had to look this up, made the comment all the better. @@IETCHX69
@Mr_Beezlebub yesssss
You forgot about the fact that the king was also in on the D-Day phantom army’s, as he would visit and inspect rows of inflatable soldiers and tanks to give the impression it was the real deal.
MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL
Absolutely
Damn right.
I know
@@TheRaven_200 That Abbath? 😁
My aunts worked on the inflatable tanks for Firestone during WWII. To keep the curious out the story was how bad and uncomfortable that plant was. Which it was not. Forever after that building was called "The Pit".
During the American Revolution, George Rogers Clark marched the same guys back & forth & around a British held fort to make it look like he had a much bigger force than he really did. Plus he attacked in the dead of winter. His tactics won the day and stopped British Influence in Illinois.
The empty fort strategy reminds me of one of the many strategies that the romanian king Vlad the Impaler (inaccurately known as Vlad Dracula), used when he was besieged in a small mountaintop fort... He snuck out during the night after turning around the horse-shoose on the horse's hooves, so when the marks left on the ground by the horses ware later found, it would be assumed that the garrison received enforcements and supplies, rather then the enemy realizing that he got away.
#5 is creepy. LOL My name is William Martin, and I used to live on a street named Cardiff.
Are you a history teacher? If not you would make a great one.
Bryan J. i would not say google is a good history teacher
My Hentai Girl but a textbook outdated by twenty years is? Cmon if you find a reliable source you're good to go. Not to mention how much history isn't taught in the current education system and there's tons of new history being discovered everyday. There's also a lot of censored history that the powers at be want forgotten.
Teaching history is about making it interesting and presentable rather than the dry way it’s presented currently in school.
@@RetroAP I understand the premise of what you’re trying to say but you’re really bad at forming an argument. 🤦♂️
@@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay that comment is 3 years old dude 😅😅
also the Vietnam War when U.S. troops put speakers all throughout the jungle and played the "wandering souls" recordings at night time as a physiological tactic taking advantage of Vietnamese superstitions of souls roaming around with sarrow for not being buried properly after death
Not as smart as hanoi Hana 😂
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Donnie dotard and Rocket man are playing who barks the loudest. Can tell if they are being cunning or incredibly stupid.
@@treehugger3615 What
The retreat of the ANZACs from Gallipoli in WWI was very carefully planned, and is often considered one of the best coordinated withdrawals in history. Particularly of note was the rifles set off to fire randomly with water-powered triggers to convince the Turks the trenches were still manned.
same applied when the germans retreated from Sicily to the Italian mainland. It was done under the noses of the Allies and they lost minimal men and equipment.
If they performed the actual Gallipoli invasion and landings as perfectly as they retreated, the entire war could be much shorter. Unfortunately, they choosed one of the worst places to make an invasion, without any covering of what they were planning. Turks and Germans literally knew that they chosed Dardanelles for invasion. Also there was no cooperation with Russians in Caucasus or other British forces in the Middle East. If Russians and British in Egypt and Iraq launched simultaneous offensives, it would draw many forces from the Gallipoli. The plan for landing itself was horrendous too, as pre-landing bombardment did almost nothing and there didn't existed actually plans to what to where to exactly attack when they break out from the peninsula. Many of this mistakes are infact Churchill's wrongdoings. Thus he was striped of his rank and send to trenches in the Western front.
@@justinian-the-great No he volunteered too go because he knew how badly he had messed up the man went straight into the trenches willingly as a volunteer.
Do a video on the top five forgotten wars.
Matt kid nice idea!
#1 would have to be Korea
can't do a video on it if you can't remember
Good idea. My picks would be Korean War 1950s, The Crimean war 1856, The Mongolian invasion of Southeast asia 1270, The Defenestration of Prague 1630s, The Russian vs Japanese war 1900, Taiping Rebellion 1850s, The Battle of the Atlantic 1940s, The Barbary Pirates war of the 1790s, The Japanese Burma campaign 1944, The Balkan wars and campaigns during World War 1,
The Boer War(s)?
All warfare is based on deception. -- Sun Tzu
Or Makarov. LOL.
The funniest thing about the deception leading to the D-Day landings has to be either that all of the spies that germany sent to the uk were actually working for the uk, or that when the D-Day landing happened in an area they weren't planning for, Hitler's generals were scared to wake him up before the afternoon. And even after they woke him up, he waited a long ass time before doing anything. And plus, most of the tank regiments were unable to be moved without hitlers orders. It could seriously be a comedy movie without adding anything at all
Baden-Powel... Now it's clear to me why I felt deceived when I (reluctantly) joined the scouting movement.
you are the only well informed top 5 channelI feel sad that your channel is underrated
الياس فرحات additionally it's well written and though out.
RIP "William Martain".
Little did you know that in life, you were alone.
But in death you might of saved thousands of lives.
I pray your spirit will find comfort in that.
His story made me so sad... but somehwat glad. He might've died poor, but after death he lived a rich experience.
Small fact, RAF no617 ' Dambusters' were one of the squadrons dropping chaff to confuse German radar on D-day. Good video, I always enjoy.
As usual....very well written and interesting and fun to watch! 5 thumbs up!
Mincemeat was damn good
Yeah, that was some slick shit.
I tried to find the movie but couldn't find it, but I really want to watch it. @blackzed
That first story sounds like something they could make a film out of!
blackzed ty I will look out for it!
Slim's crossing of the Irrawaddy in 1945. Feint attacks N and S persuaded the Japanese to pull their troops from near Meiktila to places where they could be of use. Guess where Slim launched his main attack? using the 7th and 17th Divisions, which the Japanese knew (from solid intelligence reports) to be stationed about 70 miles north of where they actually were.
Babe: what you doing baby

Shitty meme my man
do you post this same running gag on every video for attenion?
The dislikes are people who were deceived by these tactics.
Lol.. Yesss!!!!

After seeing the empty fortress/castle strategy, I realized that Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead's Season 3 was a military genius, as he applied this strategy in the season's final showdown between the Survivors and the town of Woodbury.
Such a great channel with well presented and in depth information, keep up the good work man.
You missed Richard Meinertzhagen
The show “Silicone valley” is why I’m here
So in WWII, Britain developed super soldiers, that could each lift 1/4 of a tank.
Yep. That's pretty impressive. No wonder they won.
Uhh, if it weren't for the Soviet Union provoking war with Germany, England would've been destroyed or subjugated in less than 6 years before the USSR got involved.
You're lucky. You SHOULD be grateful, but like every inbred noble from your country, you think it was done solely by yourselves.
@@AngloImperial When trying to troll someone, it helps to be subtle about it.
To my dear late father who fought bravely in this military endevaor. And made it home alive to share the take when it was declassified. Thank you, my beloved father!
Oh yes! Been waiting for fresh upload to your channel. Greetings from Philippines!
That makes sense. Likewise, the first person to die in WWII was in Germany. A German that they dressed in a Polish military uniform and placed inside German territory to make it appear as if the Pole's drew first blood, there by triggering the war.
As spaniard that knows his history I must say, putting a crucifix on the micemeat guy was incredibly smart, Franco was a go-to god fear type, as most of his asociates during the regime, proof is that he build the tallest catholic cross in the world.

Unknown 5's is the documentary GOAT!
*"William Martin"* (two of the *most common name & surname* in the UK) was made a Capt (Captain) that was an *"Acting Major".*
I'm surprised that NATO (19 members at the time) vs. Serbia in 1999 wasn't mentioned. Serbian forces were maneuvered so successfully around the country, with the heavy use of decoy airplanes, tanks and artillery pieces that NATO commanders believed they all but obliterated VJ (Military of Yugoslavia) within the first few weeks of the conflict.
They received a very nasty surprise when the post-conflict numbers showed that 78 days of heavy bombardment and ground guerilla warfare (mostly conducted by Albanians) resulted in destruction of less than 1% of the Serbian military force - mainly due to machine breakdowns which left a few tanks stuck and exposed to air raids.
Incredibly humiliating, considering the overwhelming might of the combined force of 19 NATO members (not all participated actively) vs. a small, underfunded, under-equipped army which weapons were mostly relics of the 1950-70 era.
Best channel ever.. I love how you analyze all your videos and the narration is damn catchy
I think I already know the answer, but I will ask anyway. Did the allies ever considered invading Spain and from there advance all the way to Germany, instead of going to Normandy?
25:12 that little town in the uk newhaven I live there
What about the city of Troy & the Horse thing?
Will smone appreciate the calm voice of this...it's jus so soothing to hear... appreciate the video mate :)
every unknown5 upload I have to buy a new mouse
because I always smash that like button
You forgot; Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, by Arminius.
Love watching this channel while sketching
Another great video I never get tired of your videos thanks again and keep them coming.
I spent about 10 years as a scout growing up. I still adhere to the 12 principles of the Scout's law. It's a very delightful way of life, and one I can recommend! 😄
Awesome quality as always mate. Good length. Not too long and not too short. I think 20-40 appx are good; loose times to aim at. Can't get over the depth of info either. Thanks again!

5 greatest betrayals in History?
The corpse in operation Mincemeat was likely not a homeless man, but an American Sailor who had drown the night before they dumped the body
Ethan Rozling it was the body of a Welshman named Glyndwr Michael, theres no evidence at all to suggest it was a serviceman, US or otherwise, it would have added complications to an already complicated plan.
The OPEN GATE RUSE ...Using the Bill Murray CADDYSHACK VOICE of Carl .
" Yeah? Hi ? Iz just a few guys here ? Hav'n drinks .? Gettn wacky n weird ? Not a whole battalion and a half of finely tuned an' trained murder machines . So door's open . So C'mon over ? "
Enjoy it while it last son we will get a bunch of copy cats butchering and over using unoriginal content. This is by far the best Chanel ever
To learn more about the group of people who performed the brilliant subterfuge behind Operation Mince Meat's phantom army as well as the other non-existent army used deceptively for Operation Overlord, I highly recommend the documentary series "Secret's of War." Their episode on the North African Campaign covers the Allied organization called The Magic Carpet Gang.
You have one of the best and most factual channels.
Wouldn’t really agree with your assessment of the Italian campaign. Ultimately the Germans pinned the allies in Italy for the duration of the war and they didn’t need much troops to do so. The Italian campaign was ultimately a drain on the more important d-day operation.
Maybe anakin should have faked retreat and he would have been able to get Obi Wan off the high ground :/
Would be cool to have a halloween and guy fawks history lesson.
Thank you for another interesting and substantial video. There's also the famous example from the US Civil War of Confederate General Magruder continuously marching one of his companies through a glen to deceive the Union troops approaching Yorktown into thinking that they were facing a force vastly larger force than they really were. However, the success of that ploy was assisted by Union General McClellan's tendency to overestimate the strength of the enemy.
Better than the history channel. Love your videos.
I enjoy your videos very much especially this one. Well done 👏
The narration alone, is deserving of 1m subs. Precise yet eloquent. Clear and crisp. Great flow and tone. What more could you ask for?!
You deserve more subscribers, so have my subscription..
Was expecting Leo Major to be mentioned.. He took the city of Zwolle single-handedly during ww2. An absolute madlad..
the man who never was was not stolen. he wasn't homeless and his family was aware that his body was being used.
Don't forget Skanderbeg, Albania's hero, who misled the Ottomans with goats with candles on them - at night - misleading the Ottomans into thinking the Albanians had waves of soldiers. His statue is on the covers of some books on Albanian language, his statue is in the ceter of the Square of Life in Tirana. All ironic since Skanderbeg was Christian holding off the Mohammedan Ottomans but Albania is now 60% Muslim.
the battle ov Hastings 'feigned retreat' is a myth that has been debated to death countless times... if you are going to mention it. mention they did it twice and the first time was not a feigned retreat but more surprisingly a kings control ov the battlefield and the ability to organize a retreating army on the fly. reports state they dropped their weapons and helms only to pick them up after the skirmish is over... you dont drop your weapon or helmet if you intend to go back into battle.
.....Just because you have died does not mean that your fight is over......
Damn those four guys carrying a tank are so strong. They should fight crime or something with that much strength. Colonel Beden Powel might have been popular at home, but surely not popular with his men, seeing as most of them died.
Emperor Palpatine pretending to be frail and dying to anakin, only to eliminate Mace Windu with unlimited power
Very well made, really interesting and informative. Narrating was spot on. New subscriber
This, is what I call - quality content. Another great video!
You are amazing!!
27:37 . Looks like a few of the famed Navajo Code Talkers !
How do you find all this information? Thanks for the awesome history videos
Those Germans were so gullible.
Great video once again man!
Impressive. ...
Thanks for the vid
you have a simply GORGEOUS voice
Can you do a video about the American Civil War? Ps love you channel.
hi if you could produce a vid on the next world and post it, now that would be handy. tks
Wow, Fleming is so cool
Mafeking?
I know one of the name is Robert Baden Powell
Founder of Scouts
Greene’s race for the Dan should be mentioned.
How did you not name Zhuge Liang?
Because that a fictional Battle that was made up for the novel. As for Cao Cao one was a real example.
Lad, naming your channel "Uknown5" is like naming the Lancet: "Doctor articles". The title is completely inconsistent with the quality of the content.
good job
In 1943, after Kursk, the Germans started retreating from the Soviets, leading to an eventual full retreat, later that year. April 1943 was the year Germany lost the war. The allies didn't open a 2nd front to relieve pressure on the Soviets, but rather to avoid a post-war Europe dominated by a Soviet Union that the Allies had already begun to distrust.
I'm afraid you have some mis-information in #1, Mr. Unknown5
Mincemeat. Huh. I’d go see it.
Hows about the british artilery in africa ww2 it was mad to look fake and when it opened fire rommel was Stunned
I love every single video you have done, you can see how much effort and time you put in these videos I really appreciate it thanks!
Sneak +100
watching this I wonder if the next "wolfenstrain"-ish game could be a soviet conquering of europe/world. after berlin all they had to do was bulldoze all the way to the atlantic because all that was left was destruction.
Great video
A dead war hero wow, and good that the Germans didn't send one plane to shoot the rubber ducks. Imagine every tank blows up and disappears entirely after just one bullet by the machinegun :D :D
The world shines brighter when Unknown5 uploads. ☀️
What is the story of that badge with the ghost with lightning?
Franco betrayed the Falange. He opted for capitalism instead of fascism/falangism.
80 nazis clearly did not appreciate this...
T the body for Mince Meat. Anyone think he actually killed himself ?
