3+ Hours Of WW2 Facts To Fall Asleep To

The most significant events of World War II come to life in this vivid documentary featuring original and colorized footage.

00:00:00:00 - The Gathering Storm: Just years after World War I, Germany and other nations are in an economic depression. Leader approval ratings of Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain are shallow, giving the rise to military dictators along with their parties. Years after Adolf Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany, he and his generals plot the invasion of Poland.

00:51:40:22 - Lightning War: The Germans develop a new military tactic known as Blitzkrieg. The Nazis use Blitzkrieg, dominating land and air warfare, allowing them to take Poland and conquer France in matters of weeks. Britain and Canada, as well as other Commonwealth countries, declare war on Germany.

01:42:57:00 - Britain at Bay: July 1940, Britain is standing on its last legs while being pummeled by Germany. Though Hitler has better soldiers and a more powerful air force, critical errors of the Luftwaffe allow Britain to regain strength and start pushing back.

02:34:14:06 - Hitler Strikes East: After the unsuccessful attempt to defeat the British, Hitler focuses his attention on the Soviet Union. This proves to be quite a military gamble.

It’s not just me!! I’ve just developed the bad habit of going to sleep listening to war videos on YouTube. I just listen in. I love it. It entertains me whilst I’m falling asleep so I don’t get bored and frustrated trying to fall asleep. So glad to know it’s not just me…

[EmmanuelRosario]

I love how thousands of us just all figured out we’re not alone with falling asleep to war docs. The algorithm knows us 🙌🏼

For the younger generation who never knew the history channel… this is what the history channel was all night long. Many nights falling asleep to the history channel.

Me napping peacefully as I hear about how millions perished in the most gruesome war in human history 😊💤

[flashgordon]

It’s the slow paced music, war sounds and the par monotone storyteller narration. And the best bedtime story ever that we’ve all heard thousands of times over and will hear thousands more times.

So this is basically the History channel in 2005 at midnight.

This show is called WWII in Color. Absolutely amazing series.

Ive been falling asleep to ww2 stuff long before it became trendy

[youtubehatesus]

This is just what I was looking for. The 50 minute ones aren't long enough to fall asleep to so I need to watch two.

We, who loves falling asleep while listening to WW2 stories are definitely the reincarnation of the soldiers who fought and made the supreme sacrifice for their motherlands.

Lol, I’m all for falling asleep to war documentaries, but for Timeline to so blatantly be like “here’s some war footage to sleep to :)” is hilarious

I listen to World War II documentaries almost every evening. I do fall asleep, but I learn a lot before that. Thank you for this.

One night I came home (1999) from a night out with friends and I couldn’t sleep so I turned the channel to PBS and WWII documentaries were on and I passed out within minutes and hooked from then on. Fast forward I now teach history and WWII is my favorite topic.

[BarisicAlen]

I can't fall asleep with this, my brain is more awake than ever watching anything related to WW1 or WW2

[pushup-guy]

Who watches History docs because they actually love them not just to sleep 😂

I know I can't be the only one 😅

[RayvenTheNight]

I always find it so amazing to see old footage from WWI and WWII that has been restored and colorized. It creates such a detailed picture to be able to put into one's own perspective.

[Whoknowsuknow]

Timeline figured out we've all been listening to slow documentaries as bedtime stories every night.

[airsofttony]

I love that this is a thing my grandfather always used to have history channel playing and idk why we both found it so soothing

[NickRaymond]

Dads rejoice! For you have a video to fall asleep to in the first 15 minutes and get awakened by the sound of artillery fire.

[YezzyYae]

I just found “World War in HD Colour” on Amazon Prime 10 hours & ima add this to my collection to fall asleep too..I can’t fall asleep without WWII facts lol
