Man, you content creator's are getting lazy with all these AI voice overs.

[Jauhl]

You left out Wiking that easily was as distinguished as the other three. As I understand it Wiking was the second most decorated Waffen-SS division after Das Reich.

[bunherr]

I'm getting really annoyed lately by these AI voiceovers on all history docs :(

12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" were also a Waffen SS division of note from 1943 onwards.

I always enjoy Documentaries that present Facts and not fall for the current attempt to erase and rewrite history to fit history into the current agenda. So thanks for the Facts

[cherechesvlad]

Good info. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

These videos really bring the war to light in a different way. Presenting the Germans great might as well as the desperate defensive and collapse. What a legendary story.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your work does not go unnoticed even if we rarely comment (as we usually watch YouTube on the TV set). Impressive as usual!

14:40 Small correction... It's not Allied defense that was impenetrable, it's simply because Hitler allowed evacuation and even ordered troops to fall back behind the river. There are number of documentaries about this and when people are arguing about mistakes Hitler made they usually bring Dunkirk evacuation as well. Most common belief was that he wanted to sign peace with Britain and that slaughtering their soldiers on beach wouldn't help his cause.

Are you not allowed to use the full name of the first division you talked about? It was the Liebstandart Adolf Hitler. When you just say Liebstandart, it gets kind of confusing, since there were several divisions of the SS that had that in their name, including the Liebstandart Das Reich, who you also talked about.

[markaxworthy]

These three divisions did NOT lead "the vast majority of German offensives from the beginning of the war". They played NO indispensable role in any German conquests. They were mixed in with more numerous German Army motorized divisions, with which they were interchangeable and to which they were inferior in 1939 in Poland. The conquests all relied primarily on German Army panzer divisions, of which there were none in the Waffen-SS at the time they took place. Why do people put up such falsehoods?

Finally...a factual Doc without any Nazi-not Nazi-Crap...thumbs up, good work❤

My late father was a Waffen-SS Officer in the Tenth SS Panzer Division Frundsberg, and saw action in both Ukraine and France/Normandy

Commenting for the algorithm. Love your videos

[mchrome]

I’m sure you missed some actions which I wouldn’t know about anyways but you’ve done a superb job in this relatively short video covering these divisions throughout the war. A great addition to the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of actions that was WW2.

[JunkyardDogffa]

I own a German war merit cross - first class in Bronze that was awarded September 1939 following actions at the Battle of Bzura.

[mariom]

Many of you call them infamous.
Well they were trained organized
Fought and die for their country
Loyal courageous and prove themselves.
I see qualities a man should have.
How much loyalty to our Country all of you see today.
Especially with all the domestic terrorists we have in the so called press local "govts" and current white house minions.
