The Call of Duty - Ep. 8 - Russian Roulette (COLOURISED) with Liam Dale

World War 2 - The Call of Duty (COLOURISED) - Episode 8 - Russian Roulette (Jul - Sep 1941)
Directed and narrated by Liam Dale
As the second anniversary of World War II's outbreak approached in September 1941, the conflict’s dynamics took a decisive turn. Having failed to invade Britain, Adolf Hitler shifted his focus eastward, launching Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. Confident in a swift victory, the German Fuhrer believed blitzkrieg tactics-successful in Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Low Countries, and France-would also subdue the Soviet Union before winter.
However, Hitler gravely underestimated the resilience and strength of the Soviets. Compounding his misjudgment, Japan, Germany’s ally, was too entangled in its war with China and escalating tensions with the United States to mount an eastern attack on Russia.
This episode explores the critical moments of 1941 as Nazi Germany gambled on the largest military invasion in history, only to face a rapidly unraveling plan.

ok i honestly can’t tell if this is an old produced-for-TV doc, or brilliant youtube content

[@liamdaletv]

The original version was called Countdown to Victory and I produced it for 24 weeks of TV. Binge watchers of TH-cam meant I had to re-edit to remove weekly reminder bits and at the same time, colorise, repair errors etc. Thanks for noticing! Liam Dale

The Russian Czar & the British Crown were also the Two (2) Cousins that most closely resembled each other

[@maebh123]

That family and it's wider sprogs have murdered countless millions...Kings,Czars and Kaisers.They regard us ordinary folks as "The Great Unwashed"..,I reckon Liam you should do a documentary on Rasputin...I always enjoy your work,thank you.

[@stargazer5784]

Thanks Liam.

Mr. Dale is a master of his craft

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

Sadly, this is a delusion. This is an ambitious amateur effort of vast scale, riddled with elementary errors in every chapter.
Liam should regard it as a good first effort, take it down, and start over. It is a clanging reminder that TH-cam was a huge hope and became an immense failure.

Matthew Sperry opened up the United States to trading with Tokyo.
Japan already traded with Europe, all of Asia, the east coast of Africa, and very occasionally Mexico, for generations before Perry came along.
This whole Commodore Sperry tale is an American fairly tale, not history of any kind.
Japan was never closed to trade with outside nations. The supposed "sakoku" restricted trade between Tokyo and the west. Both Britain and Holland had representatives in Japan throughout the two (not "many") centuries of restriction, and Korean trade with the Hanto Peninsula was never interrupted. Again, more merely American fiction, although Liam seems to be adopting it as his part of Britain's, too.
