Storm troopers are WWI. WWII used various groups like panzergrenadiers and Fellschirmjaeger

I remember this classic series has a long intro. Over 2 mins.

Outstanding documentary. I both shared n saved.😊

These Jansen documentaries have many good qualities, however, most of the time, the excellent film footage has nothing to do with the narration.

Manstein is the general who really developed the Blitzkrieg and perfected the roll of the German storm troopers in the invasion poland in the very beginning of WW2. Pervatin (methamphetamine) was also given out generously to the troops as well to secure a 3 day forward charge.

I cam still vividly remember my Dad buying me my first Star Wars action figure in 1978. I got the Stormtrooper. My Dad asked me, "Don't you want Luke Skywalker?" And I said no.

I thought that it was a good a very well documentary. I love military history and enjoyed the information . Thanks for sharing respectfully Dave vlackburn

How did salt get back at other seasonings for being better? He assaulted pepper.

First 5 minutes put me to sleep.

Muchisimas imagenes, que nunca vi. Excelente

Remember the winners write history

That had to be a satchel charge at 20:35, no hand grenade did that.

Make sure your stormtroopers are well fed,it's my understanding that the offensive stalled due to pilfering of enemy supplies found as they advanced.coul be wrong ,please inform. This is ww1 now.

3.08 minutes of intro😬😬😬😬

At 20:36 i dont think it was a grenade, rather the early use of plastic explosives.

The scary sounds of the Nebelwerfers at 35:30 😵‍💫

Moral of the story never say peace in our time to a homicidal maniac.

If there are aliens out there in the universe, they are certainly laughing at us.....We can't seem to stop the " endless wars ".....

Stormtroopers need remedial basic rifle marksmanship.

Probably had the best uniforms in the known galaxy, but these guys couldn’t hit the side of a Galactic Cruiser™️ if they were standing five cubits away from it.

The sound quality of this video was sub-par... how unfortunate.

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Professional class A research project!!! Special thanks to veteran soldiers/civilians. Sharing personal information/combat experiences making this documentary more authentic and possible. Paratrooper concept 💡wether infantry/aerial. Gave allied/axis forces. Decisive military operations advantages in pre invasion preparations.

Is this a bbc production ?

Imagine all the lives that would have been saved if Stalin had been defeated.

Strumtruppen, Strosstruppen

Excellent video.Loved listening to and watching it..Thank you for putting it up

The introduction is too long. More than 3 minutes long

Thats a shit ton of people cheering for being under the gestapos thumb of terror lmao

The Wehrmacht actually arrested SS troops at the beginning of the war until Hitler stepped in and had them freed. Hitler then made SS troops free from further prosecution by the Wehrmacht. was the Waffen S.S. really an “elite” fighting force? Curiously, it’s not what many Wehrmacht soldiers at the time said, and they often looked down on S.S. soldiers and considered them to be unprofessional,

No, they did not unleash Blitzkrieg, as this term was coined after the war. What the germans did was what they have always done. And this doctrin was and is called "Bewegungskrieg"

Japanese unit 731 made N azis look like a box of kittens...even n azis told japan unit 731 to chill and seriously chill out in Nanking china

Glory to Ukraine get your land back

A lot of video footage are not from the period/battles being narrated. In addition, some pre-war training/propaganda footage were also edited with actual war footage for the producers of this video for creative effect. Didn't finished watching this video for such "creative" editing!

The main thing was drugs

I always kinda was interested in stormtroopers I didn't realize that Darth Vader didn't;t invent the term ... I was shocked to find out about the shock troopers as well .

"Strike at zero hour, with overwhelming firepower..."

Hellbent on annihilation of communism...burned half the world trying to accomplish that.

Huge mistake , 2nd front on Russia .. possibly cost the defeat and holding of most of Europe .

most inaccurate video I have ever watched

To all of them: Thank you for your service. Respect and RIP.

What is this nonsense. The Stormtroopers were elite soldiers in WW 1 who were experts in assaulting trenches and engaging in close combat rapidly. The Stormtroopers in Nazi germany were the SA.

Of course, the fact they were on meth amphetamines certainly helped too …

O yea this is farther basterd alco srs

Why? In 1939, the seance of Invasion of Poland, the "King Tiger" Tank (built in 1944) appears. This is FAKE film.

Bit boring,, turned off...

While informative and the use of British narrators is excellent , the continuity is doubtful at best and often ridiculous. Talking of Poland but showing King Tiger tanks , pathetic Showing again Poland and then T34 tanks , stupid. I recently watched a show on the B24 Liberator bomber and despite thousands of miles of footage regarding the most numerous bomber of WW2 they showed an Avro Lancaster bomber while talking about the B24, tells me one thing . The editors the researchers dont know their jobs, if they claim too , then they should be fired.

Not worth the time watching.

Canadian troops were first called storm troopers in World War 1.

They seem to leave an arbitrary leave for Nazis
