“Hitler failed to take over the world”


“This enraged his father, who punished him severely”

[kylet]

Italy: “So, how many enemies did you make?”

Germany: “Ja.”

[otterfan]

“When I said Britain was all alone, that wasn’t entirely true.”

*proceeds to add a quarter of the world to the allies*

[totaly]

My grandpa (Italian) used to tell me stories about the war, he told me that all the Axis Powers were involved in Operation Barbarossa. His Brother, who was older at the time, was sent to fight against the soviets. The last letter he received from his brother said
"Dear mother, it's so cold here! When I'll come back home, have some hot soup and warm socks ready please!"
He never returned.

[spicylemon]

My grandpa used to tell us about this story where his town he lived in Italy was invaded and he recognised one of the soldiers so walked closer and then turned out it was a really good old friend of his, they apparently had a drink together and spoke about how the war was going.

10:42 I like how in the middle of the war there is just a french guy handing out champagne

[outsideconfidence]

When world war 3 happens the target is to protect Oversimplified cause if he dies who will make a funny summary video about it

[TaCorn]

I generally like how Australian troops can control a strategic port for 8 months but lost tl the emu's

[rapanuikapu]

"I was there son, when we landed on the beaches in France"
"Wow! You landed in Normandy?"
"No the south of France, I've never drunken so much champagne in my life"

[peteryvesclement]

My great grandmother was killed in the Blitzkrieg. As a result, when my grandfather turned 18, his father gave him enough resources to flee occupied France (he proceeded to Italy where he met and married my grandma and eventually found their way to the US). My great grandpa, who stayed behind in France, then proceeded to fight with the resistance against the Nazis(at this point in time, he was around forty years old).
I got to meet him when I was two during my first trip to France- he gave me the then disabled Thompson SMG he used as a freedom fighter and an Iron Cross which he'd taken off the chest of a Sturmbannführer (an SS Major) who he said he'd shot dead during the Liberation of Paris. Of course, younger me thought all of these were toys 'till I turned 15 and began taken real good care of them. I wish I got to spend more time with him, he'd definitely be the most badass person I've known. May God rest his soul in peace.

“So Hitler kind of shot himself in the foot there.”
*awkward silence*
“...Just the foot for now.”

[Bavid_Doughie]

My great grandfather was a bomber pilot, shot down during the invasion of France, he survived and was captured by the Germans. Sent to a Stelag and lived through the ordeal, he never talked about the war or his experiences directly, but he was writing a book before he died about his entire life and the lives of his comrades. I got to read his first draft of the book about 5 months before he passed. It’s unfathomable the things that happened to him, and the things he witnessed. Every time I ever hear anything about ww2 I think of brave, strong individuals like him who gave all of us our freedom all across the world.

[EJD]

Seeing visual representation of how much land this war covered is crazy to me and helps me better understand the term world war.

[aaronjanestrada]

World: has a World War
Switzerland: I just hope both teams have fun.

[sophiafortain]

"here have some weapons" is such a classic america thing to do

[bubbavideos]

The way Alan Turing was treated after the war was horrendous. His fate was tragic.

[tomasd]

I love how there so much red in Europe and then there’s just Switzerland vibing in the middle

[firelemms]

Switzerland in WW1: *stays neutral*
Switzerland in WW2: *stays neutral*
Switzerland in the Cold War: *stays neutral*
Switzerland in WW3: *wins the war because they were preparing for two hundred odd years*

[nandiniroy]

"Here have some weapons "
Most said sentence in american history

[Rina-jlyb]

The “who’s driving this bus” caught me off guard that was way to random and funny LOLL
