[TimTakesNotes]

Totally get it. We know you are not a Nazi supporter. Lots of other things to be proud of as a German. Much love

[calook]

Completely fine lol. Being a German and Nazi are two completely different things and being proud to be German is totally OK. Love your videos, keep it up!

[pendorran]

"For Sale: One used Italian Army rifle. Never fired. Dropped twice." Old joke.

[andyonions]

The US shares a massive cultural heritage with the UK. It has a similar legal system and we share many values. We are natural allies. We weren't fighting Germans per se, we were fighting an evil ideology.

[barryfletcher]

The USA and the UK have been allies since the 1880s. The last time we were actually enemies was the War of 1812, which was mostly a draw.

[Metal-Nine]

Why we are and always will be on Britain's side is, they are us. Our brothers and sisters. That was a great question. I love your openness and honesty. Truly. Great question. Honest answer is they are our siblings. Respect runs deep and it's almost an instinct. We gripe constantly with them, pick on each other, etc. But I love them like brothers and sisters.

[ryantannar]

America and Britain are interesting. They are our very first enemy but have become far and away our closest friend. We've worked through the tension over the past couple centuries and what's left is the fact that while we are different, the UK and US have very similar values and cultures. This might not seem true on the surface but we are so similar that the small differences REALLY stand out.

[johnirby]

Declaring war on the US right after they were attacked and angry was a genius move by Hitler. 😂

[danielmarek]

From the USA here. We also hear about the likelihood that Hitler was taking many drugs at the end.

As a German who had nothing to do with WW2 I am sure it's not comfortable for you to think about that part of your country's history. What's important is you can't change the past but make sure that in the future it's never allowed to happen again. Sins of the father aren't the sins of the son.

[am]

Being a US citizen, I sill understand how awkward it must be for you and probably many German peoples. Try not to think too harshly of it. Your videos are great. Keep it up!

[themightybuzzard]

A lot of us Americans feel the same about Vietnam and Iraq. We hated that we were over there but we also hated that our leaders' blind stupidity made us look like idiots. Don't sweat it.

[nagillim]

Hitler had planned on invading Russia in spring but the failure of the Battle of Britain and the Italians needing German support in North Africa delayed the invasion until summer.

As for what he wanted in the USSR, mostly Ukraine's farmlands and Russia's oil and gas.

[thebug]

britain doesn't bother us about anything anymore so we generally get along now. we get along about like brothers. we talk about each other but then stand together.

[perdidoatlantic]

My history professor said that Russia’s most powerful weapon is “General Winter”.

[K-Crazy]

Hittler would not listen to his generals. He felt he understood war tactics better than them and the generals who knew war were afraid to argue.

[thomaskalbfus]

The United States and United Kingdom shared a language, also the American Revolution was a long time ago.

[QdotZdot]

So I get why you would wonder why the hell the US would side with the UK due to being a former colony (why side with your oppressors?), but we were a different kind of colony from most others (exceptions being Canada and Australia). The easiest (and thus most over-simplified) reason is this: we're the descendants of the colonizers, not the colonized. We weren't oppressed by colonization; we were the ones doing the oppressing. Obviously I'm glossing over a lot of intricacies of US history, but that's the bare bones of it.

[neiledwards]

If you view Britain as our parent then it makes more sense. When we were kids (colonial days), we were under their rule etc. Then we hit our teenage/early 20s years and of course we had huge tension with our parent and we ended up moving out. After we got a little bit older, we are back to being close to our parent again.

[brandonflorida]

"I don't understand why America is always on Britain's side."

Sometimes your mother makes you really mad, and sometimes her decisions aren't fair, but she's still your mother.

We call "boat sinking" the game "Battleships" btw
