"Kamikaze" attacks are often portrayed as useless insane measures by the Japanese to turn the tide of the war in the Pacific in World War 2, yet the question is were the attack of the Special Attack Corps just insane simple ramming attacks or was it a rational choice based on experience in combination with tactics?

How the Germans cheated on the Treaty of Versailles (1919)? How effective were their efforts? And why did they cooperate so closely with the Soviet Union - its former and future - enemy? What did the Allies know about the German efforts? This video takes a look at the Treaty of Versailles restrictions, especially on the German Industry, the Treaty of Rapallo (1922), the German-Soviet Cooperation with the Flight School at Lipetsk and the Tank School at Kazan. Additionally, on how the Secret General Staff (Truppenamt) was established, the creation of the Shadow Luftwaffe, the build-up of reserves and the creation of a strong framework of highly trained and qualified personnel. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » SOURCES « Zeidler, Manfred: Reichswehr und Rote Armee 1920-1933: Wege und Stationen einer ungewöhnlichen Zusammenarbeit (Beiträge zur Militärgeschichte) Corum, James S.: The Roots of Blitzkrieg.

Napoleon is considered by many one of the best – if not the best – military commanders of all time. Even Clausewitz, who wasn’t particularly fond of Napoleon, called him “the God of War”? What were the reasons for Napoleon’s success? Or was he just the most famous French general? Let’s look at his background, skill, traits, education, grand tactics, strategy, focus, the power of France and the French Revolution to see what allowed Napoleon to reach such a reputation that survived Waterloo.

Heinz Guderian the father of the German Panzerwaffe is one of the best known German generals from the Second World War. He is also known for his opposition to the Battle of Kursk (Operation Zitadelle) and the early deployment of the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther, yet some historians noted recently that many of Heinz Guderian's claims are not backed up by archives.

» patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv The Battle of Midway (1942) has been by some described as a turning point in the Pacific War. The question is: Why did the Japanese Lose? Or maybe: Why did the Americans win? During my research I came across several different perspectives namely those of Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully and those of James Levy. All of them make good points. Yet, what were the key elements? US Intelligence? Japanese Oversights? Victory Disease? A flawed plan? Limited Preparation? The Odds? Failed Recon?

Quite regularly people ask on my Pacific war videos, why the US didn't blockade the Japanese islands. Since it was rather apparent that the invasion plans Olympic and Downfall would be very costly in terms of casualities and the Japanese Navy and Air Forces were basically non-operational for the most part anyway. Well, this question was also handled by the US Forces during the war and US Navy and US Army had different approaches. This video features parts of an interview with D.M. Giangreco the author of Hell to Pay. Operation Downfall and the Invasion of Japan.

Determining the impact of the Western Aid that was provided to the Soviet Union in the Second World War is quite controversial. This aid was provided under the Lend-Lease act, as such it is usually just called Lend-Lease. The majority of the support was provided by the United States, yet other countries like the United Kingdom and Canada aided the Soviet Union as well.

The popular view is that the Wehrmacht used a combination of Panzers and Stukas to roll over Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and later the Soviet Union. Whereas the Panzers were heavily supported by Stukas overwhelming enemy ground forces. The problem is that the details on how this was actually done are rather scarce. As such, there are various assumptions and misconceptions around, at least I had plenty of them myself before I took a closer look. So, in this video we will take a deeper dive on how Panzers and Stukas actually coordinated their efforts in Poland 1939, France 1940 and the Soviet Union 1941 (Operation Barbarossa). “Kommandeure der Luftwaffe” (Commanders of the Air Force) – usually called Koluft. “Flieger Verbindungsoffiziere” (Pilot Liason Officers) – usually called Flivo. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » SOURCES « Corum, James S.: The Luftwaffe's Army Support Doctrine, 1918-1941.

The impact of Western Aid (Lend-Lease) on the Soviet Union's war effort is a highly debated topic. Both Western and Russian historians disagree, yet, sometimes Western historians diminish the impact, whereas Russian one's highlight the importance. The problem is that many aspects must be considered, like timing, quality, division of labor, the compound effect and many other issues. This video covers various examples like radios, trucks, tanks, aviation fuel, explosives and several other issues. Additionally, there are various quotes from many experts that underline the various differences and also agreements.

„The Mongol Empire of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was the largest continuous land empire that has so far existed. At its greatest extent it stretched from Korea to Hungary, including, except for India and the south-east of the continent, most of Asia, as well as a good deal of eastern Europe. As a whole it lasted for well over a century, and parts of it survived for very much longer.” (Morgan, David: The Mongols. Second Edition.

Of all the debates about the Battle of Stalingrad, perhaps none causes more controversy than the question of whether or not the Sixth Army would have been able to break-out of the Soviet encirclement. Some people argue that the break-out had good chances. Yet, this is highly debatable. Historically, a very large number of German generals suggested an outbreak during the crisis, yet, it never happened due to objections of Hitler. Nevertheless, the question remains if a breakout could have been successful if immediate action had been taken. To properly assess this question we need to take a look at the combat power of German troops at Stalingrad, their logistics, mobility and some other factors, before the encirclement happened. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » SOURCES « Glantz, David M.; House, Jonathan M.: Armageddon in Stalingrad.

Although, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) started the war with a stronger force than the US Navy (USN) in the Pacific, it had virtually no Chance in winning the War in the long run. This becomes very apparent, if you watch the numbers evolving over the course of this video. I put together a chronologically ordered list of ships from the size of “destroyer escorts” upwards that were produced by the United States and the Japanese from December 1941 to September 1945, to give you an idea on how the situation progressed.
