WWII: September to November 1944, the Allies Supply Crisis and The Death Factory

- September 1944 - Montgomery proposes a bold plan to cross the Rhine and encircle Germany’s industrial heartland. If successful, his plan could end the war by Christmas.
October 1944 - The Allies face a major supply crisis. Vital fuel and ammunition still has to be landed at the D-Day beaches. When the port of Antwerp is liberated, it seems the crisis might be over. But first the Allies have to clear the Scheldt Estuary, connecting Antwerp to the sea.
November 1944 - As the Allies advance into Germany they run into concrete bunkers, pillboxes, minefields, and tank traps. German soldiers fight tenaciously to defend their homeland. We hear from veterans of the Hürtgen Forest, so notorious to American units it was nicknamed ‘the Death Factory’.

This is awesome. I love the details like, "I landed surrounded by big Holstien cows." I can actually relate to this. I was an Airborne Combat Engineer in the US Army from 08-13. We had a rotation to JRTC in Ft. Polk, LA, in 2010 or 2011. Well, no one had jumped into JRTC in like 20 or 30 years until we did. If you are not familiar, the JRTC training area and drop zone are also a wild horse preserve. So, we had to jump onto a drop zone covered in heards of wild horses. It was pretty insane and got sketchy. There were, in fact, several people who were injured by spooked horses.
Yes, it IS awesome. In my opinion, WWII is the greatest field of warfare study - no other wars match up to it. I wonder, has anyone ever won a Purple Heart for being plowed under by a herd of wild horses?
@nobodyknows3180 Yeah, probably not, lol.
Thank all of you for showing this & both sides for telling what really happened.
Thank you for providing details on Canada’s part in the Normandy invasion. The vast majority of what I get in the states is about America’s part in the invasion and it’s so refreshing to hear about Canada part
Still quite minimal mention in light of Canadian contributions. Holland has a holiday to commemorate Canadian sacrifice. 🇳🇱❤🇨🇦
Juno beach. Us Canadians never forget
Say what?!?
Texan historian here: if we are in a trench *anywhere* we pray for a Canuck beside us.
Common knowledge.
Universally accepted, folks.
@@geoffholmes7291 contributions ?? minimal is the correct word...took almost the whole war to take the Scheldt...pathetic..
My favorite narrator, is like watching a war in medieval times, i fall to sleep listening to his voice 😊
Have you ever seen the x Hours of _____ To Fall Asleep To videos on You Tube? I love em, I have a playlist of nothing but these long-play documentaries, and they keep me company during the day, and they play in the background through the night. Not everyone needs a video of rain and thunder to lull them to sleep...
well done documentary. my grandfather was a rifleman in I company 3rd battalion 112th regiment 28th division that took Schmidt. he barely got out of there alive. the division took 75% casualties in the Hurtgen. a month later they were on the receiving end of the spearpoint of the Ardennes offensive. the 28th division held the Germans back long enough to throw their timetable off and give the 101st Airborne time to get to Bastogne. again they took huge casualties.
This narrator is from History Marche he is awesome. The documentary on Napoleon is one of the best ever.
Amazing documentary and great narrator!
Thank you very much from Brazil.
of course🥹
Brilliant doc. Thankyou.
My narrator goat. The napoleon documentary was so enthralling with his expertise. Epic history TV and all their napoleon videos have this narrator and i am gonna binge get.factual for sure now.
I’m glad to see the details of the role of Canadian soldiers documented here. They fought well and don’t get the credit and honor they deserve. 👍
How great of a documentary my new favorite one
I love these long-play compilation vids. Might as well get something that has meat on it's bones, as those 10-15 minute long videos are just so dime-a-dozen...
@ I like the way you think !!!
Outstanding video! I am 80% thru the book "Attack on the Scheldt" by Graham Thomas, and this video really assisted in seeing what the book is detailing. Thanks!
One operation that could have helped was the taking of Brest; it was bungled when Bradly wanted Patton to concentrate more on moving east. We could have taken Brest intact and quickly in early august. Instead it was not secured until I think October. And did not start functioning as a supply port until NOvember I think. IF we had taken it earlier, the supplies that we had to send to Paris could have come from there and the supplies from the Normandy beaches and Cherbourg could have been used solely for the drive east, and that MIGHT have made a significant difference. Might have meant there was enough supplies and fuel for both Patton and Montgomery to make their attacks. Who knows what would have happened then?
Love this one. My Grandfather was in the 101st. He used to fight Germans in his sleep. Tough stuff for millions that WW II
Again we see that David Wiley , the Bovington Tank Museum , CEO , with him still wearing that tie !
my dad parachuted into Nijmegen during Operation Market Garden ,he was in the 82nd Airborne .
Damn what else?!
Begged for Market Garden and then the mission fails horribly, really got to wonder what Patton would have done instead ?
Patton could not get passed Metz..2nd rate general at best
Patton would do absolutely nothing..just like he did throughout the war ..apart from getting his men killed
I could see his narration in the movie A Bridge Too Far. Excellent documentary!
Great, this channel has been a great source of inspiration for me and made me open my own channel. thanks and keep up the awesome work...
@@Espiritu-o7x It's worldwondersquest-f3y
Wonderfull documentary
I love this document complete packages....very interesting..also the man behind these war is named...
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about Britain commanding and proposals(market garden) operations ..in 1944 during the WW2. Thank you 🙏 (Get.factual) channel .
Monty the type of guy who hopes the other team wins when he gets subbed off
How
Are they serious with all those planes , no equipment and supplies . ?
I have become so fascinated by the world wars, but especially wwll. These were insanely brave men on both sides of the war. And to think the nazis took on the whole western world and almost won. Wow
遠すぎた橋 映画 を見ましたけど 歴史も難しい ファッションだけ カッコいい
this is what the Germans called the September miracle. saw it in War & Remembrance
Montgomery was a fuckin tool, grandpa said he didn't know his ass from his elbow
Maybe Monte should have concentrated on opening Antwerp he had his troops right there then they would have a port pretty darn close dont you 🤔 ?
Am from Zambia my grandpa was a riffle man understand northern Rhodesian African bridgend
1.30 the Canadian soldier says how it really was, brave man, bill davis ❤.
デザインが何故かイギリス軍は良い
Monty was so overrated and should have been prosecuted for negligence in sending soldiers to their certain deaths. Also Browning should have called Market Garden off. Bloody unacceptable playing with their mens lives. Cannon Fodder that’s all they were. Disgraceful loss of life for a few mens ego’s!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Churchill did the same with the ANZACS at Gallipoli in WW1. He then rubbished the Aussies for going back to protect their homeland in WW11 after their courageous efforts in the desert fighting Rommel. A Hole.
Easy for you to say. At the moment, you do what you do!
Funny u being an Aussie saying Monty was overrated seeing as alot of Aussies fought with kiwis in north Africa against Rommel and it was only when Monty took over the 8th army which kiwis and Aussies were all under did we start pushing Rommel back
00:45:39🫵🏾👀🤚🏾bruh forgot their parachute!
Canada 💪🍁
General Montgomery’s operation Market Garden is thought to work wonders like commandos tactics las in stealth attacks!!!! It only works if precision drop of commando into Nazi defense .. positions takes place in stealth on surprise attack like SEAL or RANGERS did in Middle East using best technology and weapons!!!! One can imagine how it could have happened sixty years ago!!!! It ended up with thousands casualties of GI … due to lack of poor executed dropping zone and its timing..the most crucial disaster was the delay of stream of supplies that had been used for such risky mission!!! Failure was immense when time wasted for re-supply on allied troops on route to attack Wstfront German strongholds while German reinforcements took place that made hell for Allies forces….even if commandos made it on stealth into those defensive post it is extremely hard to take them by surprise due to its well built and well- equipped with machine guns and artillery that shoot pinpoint targets!!!!
Hey, Dave. Will the broken glass strike sparks against steel, I wonder.
word
What a disaster! That general Monte should have been trialed for recklessness!!!the operation Market gardens was a suicidal attempt!!!!!
Montgomery had no jurisdiction to order First Allied Airborne Army and RAF to accept his suggestions and they didn’t. Montgomery argued for double missions flown on day one, for closer drops to Arnhem and for coup de mains on the bridges. The air commanders refused all of this. Consequently, Arnhem was not Montgomery’s battle to lose technically speaking. Deep down he may have felt the same way.
It was planned mainly by the Air Force commanders, Brereton and Williams of the USAAF, though I’m not letting Hollinghurst of the RAF off here. His decision not to fly closer to Arnhem doomed 1st Airborne.
It was Bereton and Williams who:
♦ decided that there would be drops spread over three days, defeating the object of para jumps by losing all surprise, which is their major asset.
♦ rejected the glider coup-de-main on the bridges that had been so successful on D-day on the Pegasus Bridge and which had been agreed to on the previously planned Operation Comet.
♦ chose the drop and and landing zones so far from the Bridges.
♦ Who would not allow the ground attack fighters to take on the flak positions and attack the Germans while the escort fighters were protecting the transports, thereby allowing them to bring in reinforcements with impunity.
♦Who rejected drops south of the Wilhelmina Canal that would prevent the capture of the bridges at Son, Best and Eindhoven by the 101st because of “possible flak.“

Another one who has no idea who planned the attack 😂😂
Monty was not well liked , he had to apologize several times especially after the bulge battle when he poked along and claimed to have saved the day for the allies with the americans strongly asking for his scalp
Kind of like how the Canadian Troops in Italy wanted to shoot Mark Clark after his stunt in tht theatre
What a load of crap ..did u actually find out why Monty didn't go help in the first place..because he wasn't keen to risk his underprepared infantry in a snowstorm ..plus I thought Americans were the best fighters..actually the only ones fighting apparently so why would they need help
If America was supplying all of the fuel oil can't you tell us where it came from.just wondering.
Got it from the Taliban 😊
Montgomery was a modern day Nero snd he was not up to thd task. Thank goodness we were there to help the British and win the war
Really and what did u do
Why didn't American forces simply skirt the forest with two divisions, and convene on the other side?
General "Lightning" Collins was really incompetent in choosing to head to the Ruhr through the obstacle course of the Ardennes forest.
The Germans said it quite clearly. WHY'd he have to that when he could have driven his tanks and infantry through the plains of the rhine river instead. He caused the unnecessary deaths of thousand of americans especially in the 28th division who fought a war of attrition in a forest in the middle of winter 👎
What you get of war. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only you get suffered on both sides
Best comment.
War in Europe from d-,day to the end. Was only 11 months long. Market garden, was pointless.
Montgomery was not Eisenhaur or General Patton!
thank eff for that or the war would still be going on
@@johndawes9337😂😂😂 funny as bro
I have no idea who Eisenhaur is ..was he a German but Monty was certainly way ahead off Patton
did Aachen take longer than metz?
Montgomery's fault
how so?
Wrong 82e division fault to take the bridge of Nijmegen the first day.
My grandpa said monty was dumber than a bag of hammers
He was Prima Donna, more dangerous to his troops than the enemy.
@@stargazer5784 name a more successful general in the MTO and ETO...who and why?
He wanted to get to Berlin first, so if he cried enough he got the supplies and Patton wouldn't have enough. I have read or heard it that Monty wasn't the best commander. Course there have been other cases in history where those in command weren't the most competent. Custer could have taken a Gatlining (sp.) gun with him, but was in too much of a hurry, and didn't want to be bothered.
@@pamthompson3170 Patton had plenty of supplies Monty never too any away from him...
It’s myth that any petrol was taken from Patton for Montgomery. Patton was already at a standstill before planning for Market Garden even started.
Patton finally began receiving adequate supplies on September 4, (two weeks before MG) after a week’s excruciating pause”
- Harry Yeide
Market Garden only had priority in extra supply transport laid on. It didn’t take away any actual supplies from any US army. Nor did Market Garden stop all operations on the western front. Patton’s 3rd Army was still trying to take Metz and US 1st Army began its Hurtgen Forest campaign on September 19th, 2 days after Market Garden began.
Did you know that the twin pronged US 1st Army attack in the Hurtgen Forest and Aachen in October 1944 used FOUR TIMES as many men and supplies as the ground element of Market Garden, which wasn’t even a full 2nd British Army attack?
“ It was commonly believed at Third Army H.Q. that Montgomery's advance through Belgium was largely maintained by supplies diverted from Patton. (See Butcher, op. cit., p. 667.) This is not true. The amount delivered by the ' air-lift ' was sufficient to maintain only one division. No road transport was diverted to aid Montgomery until September 16th. On the other hand, three British transport companies, lent to the Americans on August 6th " for eight days," were not returned until September 4th.' “

And u too bro talk crap .ever heard about a battle called the 2nd battle of El El Alamein..na didn't think so ..u ever heard of the 8th army ..Rommel and the Afrika korps..na didn't think so guess that bag of hammers is getting full now
what a load of crap. Monty didn't plan MG it was an american operation, fucked up by gavin and the 82 airborne
Pretty sure my comment, no matter when I sent it, was deleted. None of these armchair historians would appreciate it anyway, but I will never understand why Monty got a second of consideration from Eisenhower, except for FDR making him make nice, or giving France a place with the winners was right either. How do you get to surrender your country, and help the enemy, and still get to be part of the victors?
MONTY fails Sicily, Ortona, Caen, Arnhem😮
Read a history book not written by a yank.
Still became the field Marshal! Life is not fair! Patton was the real soldiers’ general.
Sicily fought Germans . Amis italians. Caen fought most of the German Amour. Arrnhem yanks failed to take bridge British armour were held up
Yep.
Sicily ... Paton let the German army excape cos he wanted the glory of taking the capital ..... Caen both Us and British running out of supplies as the floating harbour in the Us section was out of service due to a storm ...British harbour was ok. Over 500 Canadians killed by the Us Air force. Arnham map of the whole operation found by the German,s on an American officer .... Monty is used as a scape goat to cover up American cock up,s 2:10:54
I started wondering where the Allies' mobile artillery was, and it was simply a case of too far away. Is this the first time that flooding land has been used as an offensive tactic instead of a defensive tactic?
Why couldn't we make those Panzer Foust things that only cost pennies
Allied supply crisis? How do you think the Germans were doing for supply about this time?
The Netherlands was robbed from their supplies, by the Germans.
And they stocked ammo for 4 years without any fight, while having invaded the Netherlands.
So Ammo, and Food was no German problem, on this part of the west front...
German war production was at its peak during 1944.
@derwolfpack
You don’t know ww2 history and especially military supply very well do you
@@vinny4411 The Germans started the battle of the bulge on half empty tanks. The mission success was reliant on capturing U.S fuel depots in tact. Fanciful. Does that sound like a better of worse situation then the allies, smart guy?
Monty was a arrogant ass Had General Patton got the resources that Monty did he could have ended the war by the middle of january and many thousands of lives could have been saved all Monty was thinking was to out do Patton. Monty should have been fired after market garden he was just a jack ass he had many failed opportunityes in normandy failed to take his objectives
childish drivel...
Truth hurts doesn't it michaelrooks4030?
Sorry meant for johndawes
@@DrewHall-un8sn hahaha..patton was a 2nd rate general at best....name a battle he won

I agree with general mad dog,we defeated the wrong country

@2:08:10 Quad Fifty
The soldier at 49:30 Johnny Peters, Border Regiment.
Way too much praise for Walter Model. Model was at best a barely competent commander. If he had been in the US military, he would have never risen above corporal. The German military was so bereft of talent that a mediocre squad leader that was willing to stroke Hitler's scrotum for brownie points, is considered a military genius. Pathetic.
If his was in the us military he would probably end up being the commander in chief
However I'm sceptically optimistic that market garden operations..could have been tipped off ..why elite German SS division was in that position..essentially American commders wanted full control of entire Europe operations..a hyperthytical assumption..

Wrong.

See the earlier post for the entire You-Tube-Series thar are finished about the Resistance Group my Granddad belonged to and it's two German elite units they had to face.
These men never received any credit, nor even the Dutch Resistance Cross excepts some of the 60 men then still living 50 year later.

The Germans never ran out of men or planes,they ran out of resources to continue the war😮
They definitely ran out of both manpower and resources. Both of which you need to have things like planes and tanks. That argument could be made better in the First World War for sure but not here. They lost purely as a result of manpower and resources. Well and the power that the United States had and still to this day has , really isn’t something that any one country in this world could ever stand up to.
That’s be wise Monty wanted to always be in the line light always screaming he never had enough supplies so rather give it to General Patton who was kicking ass & taking names all the way to Germany Eisenhower made General Patton stop being the only way if anyone asks me to get Monty to execute his duties he was assigned to implement ! I always wander how shorten the war could have been if every General in the field did what they were supppse to do than playing dam politics with the lives of Soldiers , point Blank !!!
