The Underhanded Betrayal That Would Cost Hitler WW2 | Warlords: Hitler vs Stalin | Timeline

Published 2017-10-11
The personalities and spectres of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin loom large in the events of the twentieth Century. They were similar in some respects and yet very different in others.

The first in a series that examines the interaction of the leading protagonists of WW2, this program looks in some depth at the nature of the relationship and interaction of these two ‘warlords’. The use of primary materials and memoirs as sources gives the psycho-historical analysis some substance.

  • My grandfather always said "son, you need to fight fire with fire" Great guy, terrible fireman

    My grandfather destroyed 30 German planes during World War II. He was easily the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had.

    My history teacher in 9th grade told us that Hitler's greatest mistake was fighting in two fronts. Now I understand the mindset behind Hitler's decision.

    One of my wife's uncles was a tail gunner on a B25. He, and the entire crew were fortunate to have completed 35 missions. All came home alive. 😀
  • isn't it crazy how ww2 is not even 100 years old yet? Feels so long ago, but it's been recent
  • I’ve heard this story 100 times before. However, I can’t get enough of these ww2 docs.
  • @hotdog2265
    Never fight on 2fronts no matter how strong you are. This is the history lesson that you must know it by heart
  • @JL050
    I'm glad this referred to all four as warlords.
  • There’s something wrong with humanity when so few are allowed to make decisions that affect so many in such horrible fashion.

    I've been addicted to anything WWII for the past 10+ years..

    My father was a British officer in the occupation of Germany in 1945: he was billeted in a German house, and married the daughter of that house: I owe my existence to that union, as do my five siblings.

    The narrator conveniently forgets to mention that while Germany invaded Poland from the West, Russia invaded Poland from the east. Yet Britain didn't declare war on Russia.

    My mum was bombed as a baby in her London home, my grandparents had to dig her out from under rubble and glass, she was so quiet they thought she was dead, but here I am hay 😊 she passed away last year at the age of 80. Born into pandemonium, died in a pandemic, the irony wasn’t wasted on her and she was stoic to the end. RIP Mum, you were like my very own Uncle Albert.

    The intro might be my favorite documentary intros ever, i just places me in such a historical mood
  • Amazing video so far. I love history and this explains everything so well. Well done
  • @mopbrothers
    What a scary time to have lived. No wonder everyone dressed so well. Everyday could be their last.
  • @Achilles26
    I never liked history in school but now I'm addicted to it . I just finished a 5 hours video in Spanish of WWll !
  • My dad took part in the Normandy Invasion. He drove a tank and told me that there were bodies stacked on the beach like cordwood, so I assume he was a later landing wave. Had Russia not absorbed 10 million casualties breaking the back of Hitler's army, there's a good chance he wouldn't have survived. As it happened, we lost about 450,000 military personnel in a two front war. Without Russia we would have lost millions.
