Gotta appreciate the enormous effort of animating this entire war Theater 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Someone should make a board game based on it

That's a shitload of prisoners on both sides. It boggles the mind.

Respect for my Great-Grandfather who fought in North Africa for Italy, got shot in the Stomach but survived and went as a POW 2 times, 1 in Asia and 1 in Africa. He survived decades after the war but I unfortunately never met him 🫡

It wasn't the Italians that were doing bad, it was their commanders

Rommel did a big oopsie chasing the allies. He probably had tunnel vision after all his victories.

As brief as these videos are, they are very good for helping to outline a broad picture very quickly! 👏👏👏

Without Rommel's brilliance and strategic acumen, the North African campaign would likely have concluded much faster and in a more lopsided fashion. The administrative and logistical disparities between the two sides were immense, the Allied forces could draw from extensive bases and networks from middle east, India, and egypt through Britain's colonial and maritime supremacy, while the Axis forces had to fare with the Mediterranean naval and air fleet just to get war essentials accross

You forget the part where a small Australian force held out Tobruk for 8 months. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[lombogg]

Someone forgot about the Aussies in tubruk, known as rats of Tubruk because they served along side the famous british desert rats they served from parts of the 7th and 9th Australian division. Indian, Polish and Check troops also served in Tebruk and should not be forgoten.

The way you narrated sounds like something in a Dr Seuss book

[superpacocaalado]

It's important to remember that the North African campaign was extremely important because it drained Germany of tanks, during WWII battles in the desert had very feel man in comparison to the battles in the Soviet Union but they had practically the same amount of tanks.
Of whom the English made sure to destroy and could never be used in Russia.

Hitler: Look at my epic North Africa campaign
Hitler a few minutes later: I don't want to talk about it. . .

My Grandfather fought for the british as a South African at the battle of Tobruk, all i know he was captured as a POW and sent to a camp in Poland or Italy but came back eventually.
