“Revolutionary” lol. See what ya did there

Me after winning a game of chess

Cruisers are NOT battleships. Battleships are, well yeah, battleships. You sohuld have used warships, since that would cover all the German ships in this group, or warships all over the World, but battleships are the only class called battleships. And the operation is pronounced Weser-übung, nor wese-rübung. Other than that, it is a good video. You mentioned the German forces stationed in Norway during the war. At the time of the German surrender, somewhere between 250.000-300.000 German soldiers was stationed there. Those troops could have made the allied movement through Western Europe a LOT more bloody, and even prolonged the war. The King's choice is a great movie.

They smell of old canvas, hydraulic fluid with a whiff of must. Unrestored pby5a in 1988 did at least...

Maybe this is what George Orwell was referring to in his book "1984" he calls them Floating Fortresses.

Stopped in the middle of nowhere and thinks nothing of random people watching you.not very smart 😂

Anothe conversion that was famous and still in operation is the YMS - 328 that became the Wild Goose John Waynes yaht. There should be a video with his son describing it and a tour that was allowed by the new owners.

bet

I have one of them it belonged to my wonderful grandfather may he rest peacefully 🙏🌹❤️he used to keep his spare change in it have great memories of him giving me money out of it

I'M SWEDISH! FEAR ME! RAAAAAAAGHHHHH

I wonder if its possible for anyone doing a video to ever discuss nuclear weapons/war without showing a mushroom cloud or a bomb going off? So far I have yet to find one.

Оце вона із Харькова,то получаєця слава Україні!

Dapat I upgrade ung corehedor para bantay padin yan at lagyan nang mga missile at lagyan nang mga high-tech na gamit

Dapat ayusin natin ito at gawing Fort uli na may mga missile battery dahil sa lumalaking proublema sa China panahon na para protektuhan natin ang b ansa

WOW! GREAT DOCUMENT ON THE SINKING OF THEBLUCHER

wasn't really a "battleship" because it couldn't move.... they basically just encased a small island in concrete

people seem to be getting confused with this… I’m saying Jacque YVES Cousteau (his full name) not “Jackie” 😂

Had to downvote the way you butchered his name.

an hexagon doesn't have to have all 6 sides the same size. Those you call rectangular are hexagons as well. Looks like even maybe octogonal.

Not sure if it’s original but saw one of these at the Duxford flying finale air show, amazing to watch

Interesting seeing the pics of one built in place. I once saw documents showing they were poured in one piece at the factory and then just buried.

The original Catalinas had the flight engineer's station up high between the wings. How were they retrofitted to no longer need a flight engineer?

It's not that hard it they let a welshman on holiday in.

In the beginning, his calls it a battle cruiser. then he repeatedly calls it afterwards a battleship?😂

Allmost 200 quid for the book. What a man and his sons and crew. The aqualung... first ever hyab.... he should have been given the french equivelent of a knighthood...

Absolutely no disrespect intended towards what is, by all accounts, an engineering feat, but the fact that the engine *overheated in Antarctica* is still pretty funny.

They should setup a couple of these for rent. I'd airbnb one for a weekend, more than once.

A truly excellent and informative piece of work: thank you

i have been there

Certain parts of the world aren't worth visiting.

In 2016 this excellent norwegian/danish film came "The Kings Choice". The sinking of Blücher made it possible for the norwegian king to escape to Britain. It has of course a scene about the sinking digitally very well made and subtitled in english ruclips.net/video/Tlnl6w8OtQs/видео.html Two years later I passed the place with the boat from Copenhagen. Strange thought about this battleship lying 80 meters below the surface,

"Weserübung" - "übung" means "excercise" and "Weser" is a river 450 kilometer long river in northern Germany en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weser

I want one

My family and I went to look at it when I was a kid. It was on display in Bismarck, North Dakota.

I said a boomchikaboom

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it! I read about this action many years ago, and always found it fascinating, but haven't run across a more detailed account of Blucher's battle with the fort until now. Thank you! One quibble. Blucher was NOT a battleship. She was a heavy cruiser. "Battleship" is a specific type of warship, not a synonym for "warship". Many younger historians do not realize this. :)

In depth, well brought forwarded and narrated, you should do war stories and products, ( you may do) subbed

Don’t forget 1:40 the most men who joined SS divisions and volunteered for anti communist action.

Great video but stopped watching as just too many ads. Shame

Man did we clearly get off track or what?!!!!

The Altmark carried prisoners of war into a Norwegian port. According to International Law the Almark lost protection neutral Norway when this happened. The Norwegian government ignored British diplomatic protests and request that the prisoners be freed. I wonder way. Additionally Hitler had adopted the conclusion of a military paper, that Germany needed to seize Norwegian ports to prevent another successful British blockade of Germany. While the seisure of Navik would be convenient , Germany could stock pile all the iron ore it needed in the warm season from Sweden. The Swedish Navy protected ore ships to Germany. Germany didn't suffer iron ore shortages during WWI without Conquering Norway. While the British did begin planing to invade Norway, it was not completed shelved. Just compare the dismal planning of the British intervention and compare it to the through planning of the German high command. My hat goes off to the brave Norwegians. But neutrality had it's cost.

There’s one that flys quite regularly at duxford. It’s a sight to behold

Well done, fascinating story

As a Finn I can not do without making comparison to battle wich took place just few months earlier. Similar size Finland could resist Soviet Union and Red Army never made to Helsinki. Norwegians had support of Royal Navy and German forces were 10 % size of the Red Amy attacking Finland. Why Norway could not hold?

Amazingly, this entire ship was assembled with a single allen key.

God damn their police is so gorgeous

BAHHHHTTIE Penrose! Hahahaha

I never thought I would hear “safety” and “soviet” used in the same sentence. Very strange to hear!

I think we all appreciate your 200 pound lighter wallet! No pun intended! 😂

How long did the battery last on a charge
