I felt the early war wizards looked at it like calvery. You can send calvery out against foot soldiers and probably crush them, but then your calvery gets wiped out by archers and reserves. If you send your calvery around the flanks and take out their archers and reserves, now your foot soldiers stand a chance, and the enemy is now surrounded. Add bullets bombs and engines and you got blitzkreig.

@recoil53 Рік тому
IIRC, between wars there was some debate of how to use tanks. One was as a mobile pill box supporting infantry. That's what the Char B was designed for. This also means it was used in combined arms. The other was cavalry, co-ordinated with radio. Horse cavalry, btw, gets stopped with spear/pike men that have discipline. Unless the formations are broken. But light cavalry is great for operational/deep warfare.
@scottgalbraith7461 Рік тому
@@recoil53 pikemen represented by fortified AT emplacements. I considered the comparison this way; the reason tanks and horsemen are effective is their ability to approach opposition at high speed, giving them position before many arrows or bullets can disable them. Using it as a blunt object is folly. Panzer I was built as an armored machine gun crew, nothing more. In that sense, it was successful, no matter how ridiculous it looks on paper now.

The French did not deploy their tanks evenly across the frontline. At the beginning of the war the French had three powerful DLMs (Light Mechanical Divisions) and four DCRs (Divisions cuirassées, Armored Divisions). All three DLMs were sent to Belgium and the 2nd and 3rd were concentrated to fight two German Panzer divisions at Hannut and Gembloux, to great effect. The 1st DCR fought against two German panzer divisions at Flavion in a brutal tank battle. 2nd and 4th DCRs fought at Abbeville, and they were merged into the 1st groupement cuirassé, as the 3rd DCR formed the 2nd groupement cuirassé with the 7th DLM. That's not exactly what I call spreading the tanks across the frontline. On the contrary they were often concentrated to fight tank battles against the Panzerdivisions, which took heavy losses every time. There are other reasons why the campaign was lost.
@mrsupremegascon Рік тому
This channel is known for it's huge amount of inaccuracies. No wonder, their view rate is shrinking. For reasons why the campaign was lost : - Germany outsmarted France, there is no other way to put it, they set up a good trap and the allies fallen in. Unlike Russia, France doesn't have the luxury to retreat thousand of km and reform their army when German supply line are exhausted. One mistake, and it was over for France. - Lack of airplanes - France used it's reserve too early
@goji3908 Рік тому
The French army DID use these tank divisions to great effect, however it was only after the successful German invasion of Poland that France would start making these divisions. MOST of the French tanks were supporting their infantry. (It is weird why he didn't mention it though)

This channel should challenge preconceived ideas on the subject rather than spreading them. I'm glad they tried to do it on the myth of the Blitzkrieg, but they are never going to do so on the numerous myths about the French in 1940. Cf the quote of the British general at 2:08 suggesting French treachury and the French running at 10:15 suggesting French cowardice. I think their video "Why was France so bad in 1940" (unbearable kind of title btw) with 3 million views remain unequalled in terms of inaccuracies.

if you want to look at alternative history, a more realistic approach would be: what if Chamberlain never resigned, Churchill never became PM and the British would have signed a ceasefire in May 1940. Hitler never intended to fight the British. or a world where France, knowing it couldn't actually defend Poland in any meaningful way, would have never issued a declaration of war to Germany over invading Poland? there was never a war in the west of Europe in 1939 or the 1940s and Hitler was allowed to wreak havoc on his eastern neighbours in pursuit of his delusional and genocidal dream of _lebensraum_ ?

The audio of this video was WAY too low. I had to turn the volume way up, and the ads would end up being super loud. Please keep your volume at the correct level. Otherwise, great video!

The intro music and sound quality is more fitting for World War I than WWII.

The Ark Royal was nearly sunk during the Hunt for the Bismarck, U-556 was sent to do recon on the situation before returning home and was low on fuel and out o f torpedoes from commerce raiding. The sub would have had a clean shot while the Ark Royal was preparing to receive and re-arm her planes

Although I love WW2 analysis videos, at this point you have made so much videos about them. I mean it's ok but why dont you cover topics on pre&post ww's conflicts. It's just my suggestion

great video, but there is one very small mstake. in actual fact the germans did use panzers during the invasion of norway as they sent the panzer-abteilung 40 tank battalion to norway during the invasion. but still great video!

What also aided the Germans in conquering Poland and France was the heavy use of Pervitin aka methamphetamines. Instead of marching/fighting for hours, soldiers could do both for days.

if you use the warthunder link rent the STUH-42G it can destroy vehicles that are battle rating 5.3 (and sometimes higher) even though its battle rating is 3.0
