Can you do a video on zeppelins?
Could you do ww2 from the Belgian perspective next?
Woah
Nice! New video
Brusilov offensive?
For the non-politically active Germans, I've heard the war described as: "We were estatic after the victory over France and were expecting peace and the spoils of victory. Instead, the war kept going. And going."
Which is never addressed in the Vid...in a Vid about the German perspective. Yeah!
@@mikhailiagacesa3406 Armchair History does nothing but /his/ propaganda
Yea but they got greedy
@@BrianMarcus-nz7cs Who are "they"? You do realize that they did not were voting on their strategic decisions? And even Hitler was forced to react thorugout the war after he miscalcucated the British reaction
A quick peace was the hope of the German public in 1940, but Hitler wanted Lebensraum.
1939-1941: “Winning is fun”
1942-1948: “Losing is not fun”
I think you meant 1945

@@Pao234_ u mean 1948 right
Well denazification went on well after 1945. I wonder why we never talk about that period 😅
@@Btn1136 It didn't lol. Many prominent Nazis were classified as followers and continued their political careers in Post-War Germany, that's also the reason the 68-generation wanted to speak about the crimes of the Nazis (their parent generation).
My German grandfather (born 1934) watched this whole video without pause & was fascinated the entire time by how much information was out there that he didn't know. Thank you for making this knowledge so accessible
Your german grandfather dont know german history? Sad
@@benscoke5777I think they mean, didn’t know much about what was behind the scenes of the war.
@@TheFinderOvDrama but even that is kinda weird

This is the best and probably the most detailed animated account of WWII EVER come across.
Keep up the good work.
Uh yeah cause there’s a total of like 3 animated versions of WWII
He said nothing about why Germans were pissed off and what haapened to them before it started which is a bit lame if you're making a video about Germans perspective... But it's difficult to honestly do that cause people don't like hearing those bits for some reason lol
@@chrisom4699 Because then they'd realize that they have been lied to--from every angle--for the past ~80 years and they'll realize that Germany was totally justified, and trying to do the world a favor on a scale never seen before.

Perhaps.
Mayhaps..
Something's telling me that would exceed the 128 GB video limit TH-cam has.
A massive documentary about the German perspective?!
This is gonna be great!
It ie not a masive documentary,but a colection of small documentary he united,if you watch it you notice them,they didnt even remove the otro and intro of them
You know what i mean. I know it’s a series of documentaries but it still fun to recap his videos in one documentary
All Yeah!
Good because my great grandfather said the Western powers should have stayed out of it.
@@curllizy9488 true
Just wanted to swing in and say: I really love how you covered Canada's involvement and successes in the war effort. It's funny how many people forget that our country was not only involved, but was regarded as having some of the most terrifying troops to deal with.
When people don’t realize it was an actual WORLD WAR lol
Canada? Terrifying?!! Really????
its not a sports contest, chill out
@@dreso8945You have no idea, how monstrous Canada is when they're in Wartime. They are absolute Units.
@@dramaticstyle9431 can you tell me about the wars that the Canadian army had ?
I'm really interested to know .
@1:18:18 My workshop crew watches this channel on our lunch break on occasion, and every time we see your pipe everyone cheers and takes a puff or three on our pipes that we all made here at the shop. Thanks for the excellent productions!
When the armchair historian uploads a one and a half hour video you know it’s gonna be good
immediatelly watching
isn't this just a compilation of his previous uploads?
@@airplayruleNo I don't think it is
You said it man
How quickly you produce these long high quality is astounding. Keep up the great work!
Not to belittle the effort but they are just a collation of previous videos - its great though to have them in one single video....
Still they have to compile them and cut and add certain transitions
quickly? lol
Watch the “greatest story never told” or “europa the last battle” if you want the german perspective
@@Basedlocation pure fascist propaganda
I love the video, so much analysis and so in depth. The animation is simply superb! An uncle of mine, being a military historian, once visited Omaha Beach. He was so surprised that the embankments were so vertical, although he knew of it already. It's really one thing to read or see a photo of and another to see in person. Very quieting.
Thanks! You and the armchair team are at least in the top3 (probably #1) of all WW2 content creators. Thanks again
Give this man some likes for that 2$
Finally a dono in a currency I know lol
Well… that’s assuming it’s US dollars lol

I love that this channel does no gimmicks and bad jokes. Quality remains extremely high. Thank you!
Well… “Good vibes only!” and Uncle Adolf with adorbs hearts in his eyes for the ubermensch… has something to say about the jokes part. 🤣
Lol… and Hitler hurting his foot on the Stalingrad door, then doing the allusion to the French “danced the jig” propaganda… yeah, there are plenty of bad jokes in here… and a gimmick or two, as well. Nothing wrong with it… great channel. Just sayin’. 😆
Pepe Silvia joke at 25:47
There’s jokes and gimmicks all over, what are you even talking about
A breathtaking production. Very well done.

@@berenger1002 yeah you are right, still cool tho
@@Basedlocation I watched Europa. Really, REALLY fucking eye opening. Had me in denial for over a month as well as I didn't want to believe what I was seeing since it completely goes against EVERYTHING I've learned about AH and WWII. But I think it's imperative everyone hears the other side, and come to their own conclusions.
I never thought I’d be glad for the sponsor part of the video
Had no idea it was coming out
Nice man stoked to see how your production quality and everything in general has improved and refined over the years of you creating this channel. Your work has paid off (and the work of your team as well too!)
Keep em' coming, I love history!
I’m usually not a big fan of war history but I loved this documentary, very clearly explained and kept my attention the whole time. Excellent presentation!
well when its simplified like a child tale with good vs evil i can understand how it might appeal more to your avg iqd person.

A 1 and half hour. Then its Godly
Wow, just amazing, thanks very much Griffin for such a beautiful video, especially with such high quality
Great work . Surprised how balanced and deeply researched
This isn’t “from the German perspective” this is just an analysis of the events that happened if anything it’s the allied perspective
Yes, just the regular old story. Nothing else nothing more.
🤡🤡🤡
🤡🤡🤡
Well yes, if you want the German perspective just watch Nazi propaganda where the Nazis speak incoherently about how the Jews are the ones responsible for this and that while they themselves take money from the German people behind their backs and use it to purchase yachts and villas.
This is magnificently laid out. Thanks for posting this.
Wow! What an amazing well put together video! Thank you for it!
The way you educate your audience is truly immaculate! Forever grateful for this channel!
with any other youtuber i would never watch a video this long but you make it so fun and interesting!
Amazing video brother keep up the awesome work!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much for making this. Excellent commentary.
The visuals in these documentarys are always stellar!
To the creator: Bare with my story. I added this video to my queue and after a couple minutes was going to move forward. I usually prefer video documentaries vs animated ones. But I started doing household chores but left it on in the background. The more it played the more intrigued I became. I am a WWII history buff and a follower of Mark Felton. Anyway I sat down and kept watching and thoroughly enjoyed your work. In particular your significant telling of the post war years. Typically most creators only cover Nuremburg but you dove deeper. I knew the basics such as 10 yrs in Russia etc but you did an excellent job and I learned some things. I liked and subscribed. I look forward to watching more of your work.
Very informative. Thank you for your time invested in this
Good video! It always makes my day better when the armchair historian uploads
I sincerely wish success on you in the future, as your content is always high-quality. I'm glad you met your Patreon goals.
thanks for this amazing video, i love to watch your video’s. continue the good work
My grandfather piloted one of those gliders. He ended up breaking his ankle, but continued fighting for two weeks before he was able to get his ankle medically tended to.
Wow that's amazing. He was a true tough guy!
Amazing content guys, wasn't expecting this massive content drop.
Your welcome
What a WONDERFUL Sunday morning this has turned out to be with an hour and a half quality documentary. Thank You...
These videos are incredible. Thank you so much for them.
I just wanted to say thank you for using the aspect ratio you do for your videos
Awesome work Armchair Historia! Your animations keep getting better and your work is great as usual! One thing I want to say is Halder was responsible for operation Barbarossa. In 1940, Paulus and Wegner told Halder that Germany could not succeed in the Eastern front because of logistics problems. Yet, Halder decided to proceed with the invasion!
Additionally Halder, Guderain decided to go for Moscow while Hitler wanted to go South for the oil in 1941
I think all the German Generals not just Hitler wanted war but they lead a quick success in France get over their head
The Germans lost because the British refused to surrender and they ran out of oil. And Yugoslavia stalled barbarossa. AH bit more than he could chew
Watch the “greatest story never told” or “europa the last battle” if you want the german perspective
Hitler didn’t die in Berlin, he escaped to Argentina. See the film Greywolf.

Found this fascinating and exciting at times. Great production great work. Enjoy the little caricatures.
This is a nice Chronological lineup of the WW2 videos from start to end. I really enjoyed it. Thank you Armchair Historian!

Awesome and Solid work! You are at 2 Million Mark very soon! Not even Steiner's attack can stop you
In all seriousness, Great work!
Please also mention Halder on how he ignored Paulus and Wegner's warning in 1940 about not winning on the Eastern Front
Very interesting and well narrated...thank you!

Thank you for a very enlightening documentary.
I know it takes alot of work and time to fit a big subject like this into a video and it's longer but alot of us still have the ability to pay attention long enough to really enjoy it. Thank u so much Armchair. Some subjects u just can't make a short video. Way too much info.

You're just awesome can't say enough about the job you guys do. Thank you Thank you thank you!!!!!
