your grapgics of planes and ships are grossly inaccurate, like illustrating a WWII propeller plane with a 747 jet engine powered jet, what's up with that or sunken submarine illustrated with what appears a wooden ship???? Accuracy is needed to properly explain history.

When that missile-firing Japanese F-15 Strike Eagle came down on that 1940-vintage _Tambor_-class submarine, those boys never stood a chance. 🙄

[philvanderlaan]

I like how when talking about a b-24 they show an a-20, c-130 and a 747

[Thorr]

With all the public domain footage available that would've at least matched the type of aircraft or ships you mentioned why did you folks use such wildly inaccurate imagery?

[antillieswedge]

There was no USAF in wwII, it was the Army Air Corps...Air Force wasn't formed until 1947

[bhopkins]

Never refer to a Royal Navy ship as "The HMS" it's simply HMS

[tedmiles]

My father was in the US Army Air Corps during WWII, he was a radio man. I have his medals. He was a Master Sargent at the end of the war.

[ShelLeader]

You could have used actual photos of the items discussed. A B-24 had 4 engines and no open gunnery station.

[westmibaddrivers]

hey that propeller you showed belonging to the B24 was a SHIPS propeller, not an aircraft one.

[roberthogue]

I think I saw at least three incorrect airplanes, were you were supposed to be discussing a B-24. Hell, Hire me, I can identify most planes from WW2.

[nunyaf-nbizness]

Be nice if the photos actually were of the subject

I found a few old anti tank shells while exploring the ruins of woolwich barracks in London England when i was a kid...
I still have them on display at my home

[mcmc]

I found a coffee jar in the basement rafters with my dad’s WWII ribbons and medals. He joined the US Navy underage and spent it as an airman flying in the 3-man Avenger torpedo bombers, aboard the USS Bismarck Sea, the last aircraft carrier sunk during WWII. His ship was sunk during Iwo Jima. He survived but his family had already held his funeral and buried him by the time he made it back home to the States.

Lots of WWII History in My Family, out of 8 Brother’s My dad and Four of his Brother’s served WWII, the Oldest 2nd Lt John Roslick is MIA
Uncle John joined the Army in 1925 at the age of 15 years old by changing his last name from Orzolek to Roslick died in Combat April 6, 1942 Bataan Philippines 🇵🇭
Dad was drafted December 1942 was made a Combat Medic and was asked to volunteer for Cadaver School and became a Field Surgeon in the Battle of the Bulge and Rour Pocket.
His Brother Stanley Orzolek was to be Discharged December 8, 1941 but his orders were changed after the attack on Pearl Harbor and one brother was in the Navy in the South Pacific and the last brother was in the Army just after V-E Day

[chrisackerley]

I know a place in the Arizona desert that was a air-to-air gunnery range during WW II. I go out there occasionally [NOT in the Summer] and just wander around. All sorts of fun stuff just laying on the surface. It only rains every few years out there and, unless somebody picks it up, anything that has ever been dropped is still there. Mostly .50 slugs and casings. Some of the slugs are in perfect condtion - after being fired many missed the target drones and sailed for miles before dropping to the ground. Afer baking in the desert sun for 75 years, that old brass the most beautiful dark brown patina.

Wow what’s the chances of an underwater archaeologist looking for old fishing nets finds a enigma decoder ?

[robertvaughn]

As for the enigma machine, the code breakers at Bletchley Park, headed by Turing, did not break "all" the German codes. In fact of all the codes they broke a small percentage. The Germans changed all the codes every night at midnight so any codes not broken had to be started over again. I also agree with the absurd selection of accompanying photos with the dialog. If you can't do better and make it more authentic, quit

[unpob]

Front landing gear including tire, cockpit from Corsair including plexiglass kept inside my home in Arawa. All found on Pok Pok island in Bougainville

[jonzflicks]

Slick presentation with professional graphics but: sadly the images are totally inaccurate when related to the dialogue. Just one example being the B24 bomber!

[sabrekai]

has to be the best youtube video ever for mismatching subject and photos/video.
