Another master class from Dr. Phil (no not that one). Not just a great historian, but one that challenges you to think about the received narrative. This is why WW2TV is the best site on TH-cam for military history.
Well said Sheldrake. Dr Blood is a living treasure.
That machine gun pictured at 13:25 is NOT an MG-08/15. The MG-08/15 is a water cooled Maxim gun from the First World War. The gun pictured is an MG-15, which is an air cooled aircraft mounted machinegun developed between WWI and WWII. The MG-15 name was deliberately meant to imply that that existed in 1915, but was in reality a ruse to allow the Germans to develop new machineguns in secret.
You are correct. I changed the slide at the last moment and hadn’t noticed. Thanks for informing people, hope it didn’t ruin the talk for you.
Dear Dr Blood, so to remove any ambiguity did they use the old MG08/15 or the modern MG15. I ask because, these were Luftwaffe guys and in 1944 many MG 15 had been removed from aircrafts and given to ground troops. But I know that old MG08/15 were used during the second world war.So both options are possible. Thanks!
Fascinating, good to hear someone who really knows his stuff.Bravo Sir!
That was Dr. Phil in really top form with this presentation. I did try to catch it live, but work really is getting in the way of watching the live episodes. Hopefully I only have a few weeks of my current contract left so I can get back to watching these episodes live again.
This is one of the best historians ive watched on this channel and i cant wait for his new book. Please bring him on more often.
Superb I thought . Thanks for your efforts Woody and all in the last few weeks must have taken some doing.
Always a great show when Dr Blood is on!
Mr. Blood always expands my view of WW2 Eastern Front. Top shelf stuff here.
Great work Paul. Quite a series.
Howdy folks! Fascinating discussion as are all Dr Blood’s talks. Examination of low level unit operations in early Bagration sparkles. Thanks and congratulations 1:09:51 Dr Phil and Woody
Nicely coincided with the release of the Bagration campaign book from the Battlegroup game!
Thanks for the effort.
Dr. Phillip Blood always provides interesting and informative presentations. Thank you Paul, Thank you Dr. Blood.
Another fascinating presentation. This week has been so interesting.
Not only is Dr Phil a one of a kind historian, he is kind, humble, and even with his knowledge, listens to what us regular people have to say, no matter how dizzy (I count myself among those). That’s why I like supporting him on his blog Fallout on Substack. One of the two PB historians that are my favorites, and Woody who’s not afraid to say what needs to be said.
Fantastic presentation and discussion. Thank you gentlemen.
Another beauty! Thanks Phil & Woody. 🌟
I might be being pedantic (and wrong 😮) but I don't think that's an MG 08/15. Anyone know better?
As Salaam alaykum Woody and Dr Philip. Thank you for this presentation. I do wonder about the motivation of a Israeli conscript and a Palestinian resistance volunteer, as you said Philip, the working class. Thanks again lads. Yours in Australia. Warahmatullah Barakatuh XXX
Dr. Blood always delivers an outstanding presentation!
Fantastic presentation and deftly handled control of the sidebar comments too Woody
Thanks Alistair
Arrrgh my old school wargamer sense kept going off at the profiles of the German and Russian soldiers that Phillip was using on his slides. They're from an old wargame but I couldn't remember which. Squad Leader? Aaaaaaanyways great presentation. Lots learned once again so thanks.
Yep. ASL. I had the same memories.
Guilty as charged. Squad Leader, Cross of Iron - there were three clues in the talk. The opening slide with the Red Army soldier, the book The Willing Flesh and the counters for German and Red Army soldiers. I used ASL structure to model the firefights for the screen.
@@Historianphil It was a wonderful presentation. Thank you very much. The gamer memories were a bonus.
@@Historianphil Many thanks Phil - I can sleep tonite now 😂
Missed the live show, which at least gave Paul a day off from my incessant questions. Two things, I'm not any clearer on the near incomprehensible differences between West-East front degrees of brutality, but that likely stems from their being literally incomprehensable. Very interesting discussion about how anticipation of their July 20th bomb plot on the part of anti-Hitler German conspirators may have eroded their effectiveness beforehand.
In general i do think you loose alot of youre best men earlier in a war. people who are better selected and take more initiative.
❤
Paul, don't forget to turn on CC
Always on by default
The machine gun on the slide is NOT 08/15. This appears to be MG34 in anti-aircraft configuration, with large front sights.
Yep, one error in one graphic in an otherwise fantastic presentation. You couldn't have said something positive too?
Dammit
(I barely missed it)
Paul, it still says close caption unavailable.
It takes a few hours to process
please correct spelling on slide from striongpoints to strongpoints
Do you have a time machine we can borrow?
Plus how about saying something positive before pointing out a spelling mistake that makes no difference to the information shared
Don't be such a pussy. All he did was point out a spelling error and you turn into some hysterical woman that can't take criticism cuz they're so insecure. Fuckin relax.
@@sonnyb7612 Jesus Christ Sonny, I wasn't hysterical. The first line was just a joke and the second was based on the simple truth that one spelling mistake made no difference.
@WW2TV Obviously it makes no difference and the guy is either dumb or a mental case but instead of you calling him an idiot in your head and moving on with your day you throw a fit because your so emotionally weak. 'Why don't you say something positive first'. Grow some balls.
I can't get enough presentations from Philip Blood, what a treat!
