Still hoping they cover guerrilla tactics at some point

Perfection. Absolute perfection. I have learned even more tactics. Nice work.

I just want to say thank you because I am in a history class we currently learning about a lot of the wars like Vietnam the world wars the Korean war and without you it would be a lot harder for me to do it and I've also shared your channel with my entire history class and my teacher is now giving us examples of your video to help us learn so I just want to say thank you

[Fierysaint]

Oh man these "tactics" vids are great!! CANNOT WAIT until volume 2!!

Out of all the education channels on YouTube simple history has taught me the most, I love the basic animation style; it doesn’t take away from the audio content but are always great visuals. Y’all struck gold when making this channel!

[brandonhookey]

We all have our favorite YouTube subscriptions but Simple History is definitely something special

IIRC the British postwar infantry one written by Montgomery started with "The task of the infantry is to close with and destroy the enemy."

[theclandestinewitness]

Murphy's law of combat - "Try to look unimportant, the enemy might be low on ammunition." Miss it dearly but sincerely hope one day we can resolve our conflicts via diplomacy and not by shedding the blood of our youth. War does nothing but corrode every facet of life it touches.

[juggaloninjoe]

PLEASE make this a series! More tactics use and history needed! So many field manuals with so much info you could cover, like troop movement Technics, ambush technics, survival skills would be a big hit.

On the 1st July 1916 at the Somme the 36th Ulster Division consisting of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers were tasked to take the Schwaben Redoubt which was the most fortified German position. Just 15 minutes before the 7 day barrage ended they moved 30yrds away from the German lines. As soon as the barrage lifted they disobeyed orders a second time and ran to the German trenches and was in the trench before the Germans got out of the dugouts. They were that fast they got shelled by their own artillery only to over take it. They bust through 2 and a half miles of enemy lines being the only British division to take all objectives that day. The British commanders had troops on reserves but never sent them to help the 36th but sent them to divisions which wasn't at the first enemy line, if they had sent the reserved forces to the 36th they could have encircled left or right to help the divisions beside them. Being fired at by 3 sides, taking heavy casualties and low on ammunition the 36th Ulster Division had to fall back in the early hours of the 2nd. A good example of using artillery and why sometimes orders has to be broken. The Somme could've been an success if only they reinforced the 36th Ulster Division. They make me feel proud to be British and Northern Irish especially when multiple family members was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers during WW1 and 1 of them sadly passing sometime after the Somme due to infections after being wounded by a grenade.

This is a great way to upload a ton of content at once instead of a bunch of 6 minute videos! Thanks

[robertd]

Even more educational content, gooood,

[jobe_seed]

It’s kinda funny how you use a T-34 as a example in the animation for held down tactics even though T-34 don’t even have enough gun depression to actually do that since they only had -3 degrees

[pewyay]

love the content man, love watching when waiting for things to load and stuff, keep it up dude

[kellyhall]

They need to do some videos on logistics tactics so people can get a better view on why certain tactics were used
