Scoped Rifles: The British actually tested a scope on a "rifle" in 1840... it was successful but the British deemed it (like many other things) "Un-Gentleman like". The guy who designed it (Chapman) moved to America and sold it to USA patents.
America ain't giving up a chance to win war

@@reycesarcarino4653 ? Attack the d point
You should talk about "the dai hong dan incident". Where in 2007, a north Korean cargo ship got hijacked by Somalian pirates. And a US warship came to the rescue after hearing their distress call. Fortunately, the NK sailors took the ship back after killing 2 of the baddies, and capturing 5 more. 3 of the sailors needed medical treatment, where US Navy medical personnel helped them. When the news spread around NK, they made a VERY RARE statement, PRAISING the US navy for answering the distress call for the their sailors. Worth talking about it.
I'mma keep posting this comment until I get Simple History's attention! 😅😅

Deceivingly deceptive, isn't it? 😏
Ain't never deceived deception most bestly ever once.

Seems like Lauri Tõrni joined whichever force that would fight against Soviet.
Joining both the nazis and the Americans he seemed to do it solely to fight the Soviets. "enemy of my enemy" through and through
Donnie still loves vladdy
He realized that he wasn't a man built for peace so he went where he could delete some more soviets.
He didn't give a crap about politics, just turning soviet soldiers into soviet statistics.
WTF???? He was "REDUCED" to doing carpentry? And cleaning jobs? Like these are base employments? HOW DISRESPECTFUL to honest workers and honest work.
He’s not knocking those jobs. But when you’re a soldier with that type of experience, not being able to find any other job except those, which anyone can get, feels like a “reduction”. I guess if you’ve never sworn an oath like that you can’t understand that.
🙄
Escaping with no one dying, yup that’s worth a medal
Washington would be proud.
These inventions are truly genius. And as for the Finnish soldier who fought in three armies, I’m surprised he isn’t more well known
He is, lots of great youtube videos about him
Check out Johnny "two gun" Hart(e). Tarantino would be the best person to make a biopic of him.
Man, Larry Alan Throne was an absolute soldier, man it sucks he went out that way
Part of me thinks he survived😭 I wonder if they found his dog tags on some bones or if they did dental records / DNA.

In the show ancient discoveries there was an episode where they explored the ancient worlds deceptions. One such tactic was in Egypt where one military force was trying to conquer the other but was severely undermanned and didn't stand a chance against the other group. So the leader of the smaller group was able to wrangle all the animals he could such as donkeys cattle horses and tie brush to their tails and made them circle around and make a dust cloud that was enabling them to see what was going on. When the greater military force saw that they fled thinking that there was a bigger army coming to defeat them.
Still voting hard on a unit video on MACV-SOG the black ops unit in Nam
This was an amazing video I was hooked the entire time. Very well put together. Thanks!
In fact, the Aussie drip rifle was eventually made much more sophisticated than your depiction. When the ANZAC's were transferred to Europe, they made "sentry guns" that had a proper clock-work escapement running the trigger. They have a full sized model of the repeating version of it that the men developed, at the Australian War Memorial Museum, Canberra. . The rifle sat in a shaped container that the soldiers called "The saddle" and when it fired, the recoil rocked the rifle around in the "saddle" which worked the bolt, and chambered another round.
The purpose was to make the trench look like it was fully manned, and to attract the fire of fixed guns and the like.
The Aussies also dealt with the enemy machine gunning their trench at night time. They set up theodolites looking down periscopes, which enabled them to watch and mark exactly where machine guns were set by looking at night time, and spotting the muzzle flash. This would give them exact bearings for the distance and angle .
All the forces did this, and then called in Arty but the germans would simply disappear into their bunkers when the arty started.
The aussies used the exact bearings for the distance and angle a different way, they would go carefully along the trench and lay sand-bag embrasures with the correct angle and elevation calculated for each man.
Then when the machinegun would start firing, they would wait for the pause when its ammo ran out, and in that instant all along the trench men would leap up, fire one shot down the calculated line, and drop back into the trench. The germans got the message and stopped bothering the Aussies at night.
.
Correction: Finland didn't advance as far as their original border. They absolutely did conquer a sizeable bit of Russia as well, but they refused to go too far, irritating Hitler.
There is whats been written and what actually happened.
From my understanding the Fins ordered a full stop so the Germans wouldn't expect help or rescue for the 6th army in Stalingrad.
It's crazy how much more effective and use for a knowledgeable people wear 80 years ago than they are now
Jayne : Not as deceiving as a low down, dirty... deceiver.

Deception has a very long history in warfare. It is very important! Many nations have used it. I particularly admire the British use of it!
love ur videos keep it up
First British scopes used in WWI were from Germany. Germany needed rubber (which they couldn't get because of the blockade), and Britain needed scopes. Being friendly, combative, nations the two came to a deal in Switzerland.
Excellent work dudes!!
The decoy heads would make nice wall decorations xD
During the spy scare in the US Army, Gen. Bradley had also been arrested. He was quizzed on which city was the capital of Illinois. Bradley had correctly answered Springfield, but the questioner thought it was Chicago.
I seen these decoys on the Baltic sea coast in Latvia near Jurkalne in Soviet times. They been made of plywood ( howitzers and cannons).
Amazing video as usual, keep it up! 👍

I have the book The Ghost Army of World War II. This is a wonderful book. It does in depth to what the Ghost Army did not only in England but on the European continent.
The movie "The Man Who Never Was" takes some liberties with the Mincemeat deception but does a great job of telling the story. It is one of my favorite movies.
"To trick your enemies you must first trick your allies "-Persona 5
There was a good movie in 1956 about Operation Mincemeat called,
"The Man Who Never Was"

dude, that smile...
"WW1 "unofficial" anti - sniper measures" also included British Army officers disguising themselves as low ranking, rifle carrying, ordinary soldiers or even sappers while serving at the front. This early initiative eventualy morphed into today's "official combats", a complete suite of clothing, protective meaasures, etc. worn by all to help minimize casualties.
The thumbnail alone made me laugh XD. And got me hooked too
"...he was reduced to carpentry..." - oh fer crissakes. Who edited the writing?
7:57 looks like a kv1, good idea to wait and ambush anything else

Russia is like a jilted lover who can’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Take a hint buddy, no one wants to be annexed by you.
russia is the bully of eastern europe
have you wondered why so many countries in eastern europe are so EAGER to join NATO?
in vietnam, i think, the locals were fighting the americans and the americans were bombing bridges.
so the locals made bridges UNDER the river, just a few centimeters.
they could cross rivers, but the planes were unable to see the bridges

Lorni Torni was freedom loving, communist hating, badass. Apparently John Wayne's character in the movie "The Green Berets" was based on Torni.
Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated

Likely would've worked without all the vehicles. Needed to just have skirmish teams in groups of 5 or up to 12 men. Have jeeps or other trucks try to drive most of the men, to a dismount point and have them infiltrate on foot. The jeeps an trucks after the dismount point could take a team of 5 an go further on to other points. Skirmish teams could operate more effectively an quietly and move quickly from point to point, an if neccessary "Acquire" what they need along the way, an when their mission is deemed over they may try to blend in later on with civilians and retreat back, or act like awols if caught of either military, or crazed..
Lee-Enfield No 4 rifle in .303 British calibre, I was issued one after joining the Canadian Rangers. They were finally replaced with the Colt Canada C19, Finnish-designed Tikka T3 CTR bolt-action rifle modified for the Canadian Rangers. Though we have been trained to use every gun the Army uses. The Canadian Rangers role is Domestic operations; surveillance and sovereignty patrols, first response. Our rifle is protection from whatever, a nutcase, polar bears get to close, so we shoot a round to scare it off. lol. Yup.
Nice
Lets be real if hitlar had some of these seemingly crazy ideas ealier or had any exess time or resources like he did at first he wouldvebeen even more terrifying like if had people learning english earlier and he was collecting enemy stuff early he couldve made it a sucess or if he actually made the german supertank and put the gustave gun on it wouldve been horrifying
Most best title.

Jolly good content and narration!!! however, next time please please tone down the music: it was much too distracting.
Sad that Lauri wasnt brought to Finland
You can't be AWOL if you have leave. AWOL stands for Absent With Out Leave. Meaning you have left your unit without permission.
It sounds like he was granted leave to return home, but chose to remain with his unit after his recovery. If he had been ordered to return home, he may have been in violation of his orders, but he could not be AWOL for two reasons. First, he had leave, and the other, he was not absent. If it were a thing he could be PWL, Present with leave.
Depending on policies and regulations a solder may refuse to take leave, but me may also get into trouble. If circumstances dictate, the solder may refuse leave, at least until the current circumstances change.
This is what happened in the movie Saving Private Ryan. Captain Miller and his men were ordered to find Private Ryan and return him to a place where he could be sent home.
When Miller and his men finally find Ryan, he is part of a unit tasked with holding a certain town against an imminent German attack, because Ryan believes he will be able to make a difference in said attack.
At this point Captain Miller could have disagreed and ORDERED Ryan to leave. Or he could agree and Miller and his men would join in the defense of the town.

Theres a prob that one of those soldiers got killid by one of those auto shooting rifles

Ikr? I mean, that's like "Smoking 101" material there! 🤦
I don't buy the argument that he knew nothing about the ss oath he swore to. All the Germans and Fins serving were nazis and those in the ss were given no excuses before the Hague. He loved killing and was good at it and therefore did whatecver he could to continue. And remember, the fins and Americans invaded the Soviet Union before as well.
Same here
The title is a bit redundant with the double title, huh?
Barchonok!
Why change title
Well, considering "unprovoked" aggression of the USSR... Well, as far as I remember Karelian nationalists who were seeking to "reunite" Karelia with Finland were operating from Finnish territories. These guys enjoyed doing some ol'good terrorism. Constant border skirmishes and shellings also occured. The USSR also considered Finland to be German natural ally. How long a minor country would be doing this against any major power until the said major power retaliates in some form? Adding to the portrait - Finns also had swastikas as insignias at the time. They also did some "ethnic cleansing" after their civil war. So, to sum up. Like Poland who did some territorial grabs and some other nasty things (like starving POWs to death) since its "rebirth", Finland was also "not so innocent" like it is usually portrayed.
