Why is this considered a masterpiece? It's just a bunch of guys doing some dumb war shit. Keep in mind I'm not from the U.S., I'm not a male either, but for the love of ME I can't like this series at ALL.

Can you please fuck off with your misogyny? Of course women can fucking understand war, you retards, even Elizabeth, the queen, fought in the World War, women manufactured bullets and also war machinery. If you are ignoring the fact that women suffered just as much as men in war, you are just fucking retarded. Fuck off.

>>77353791

You do realize they wanted to assassinate Hitler because he was a retard who wanted to lose the war? Politics played nothing in it.

Nice try though, keep playing. Rommel was a full blown Nazi who believed in national socialism and was as anti semetic as any other Nazi.

I actually really like The Pacific. It's got more of a core theme, which is the breakdown of a soldiers psyche.

The time it came out it was a great achievement of television. Still is really. It's great show, especially if you just want to watch some war porn.

Regarding this, I really liked how they portrayed it in Generation War (Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter) with the young brother of the protagonist.

>>77354701
Of course. Also, fun fact, the Americans rejected Crocodiles for their beach invasions and they also rejected the Funnies for Omaha. This was a major reason it took so long to clear and cost so many lives. The rest of the French, Brit and Canadian beaches fell with ease because of all that shit.

Real shame they didn't bother with helmets, but they did look /fa/. I'm pretty sure Commanders still wear berets.

They rejected them out of pride, right? That's what I heard at least.

It's just a remote control bomb. Pack it full of explosives and drive it up to the target. Didn't really work out so well though.

Basically, they thought they were the only way D-Day would work. D-Day would have been a success even without the Americans.

Americans outright rejected lots of help because they were egotistical dicks. The entire Battle of the Bulge? That could have been avoided had the Americans listened to the Brits warning that it was going to happen. The Russians listened and they won Stalingrad because of it.

>>77355127
Yup. They saved tens of thousands of lives. They were brilliant. Especially the Crocodile.

Also the prepacked pontoon docks prevented the D-Day invasion stalling. But no, the Yanks did everything.

It is largely a myth. Ironically Waffen SS is far cleaner organization than popular culture, especially (((hollywood))) implies. There isn't major difference between Waffen SS and Wehrmacht when it comes to committing atrocities and war crimes, both were under same command. Both regular army and Waffen SS took part in atrocities. Still huge majority of that shit was committed by other parts of SS. Waffen SS was just nazi German equivalent of 'muhreens, guards units and airborne troop in most ways. Better trained and equipped than most infantry units.

Pic very fucking related. This brick refused to instate convoys and mandatory ship blackouts on US eastern coast against British advice.... because it was British advice. Brits had dealt with U-boats for couple years and had learned a lot about dealing with submarines the hard way. Probably around quarter of 2776 ships allies lost against U-boats is pretty much solely caused by one incompetent admiral who happened to be commander in chief for entire US Navy. He is generally considered second most hated major allied flag officer of WWII, after Monty. Monty was smug and completely unapologetic aspie who happened to right almost always, he was hated by pretty much everyone in British Army even before war.
>>
>>77356199

All those committed under glorious command authority of OKW and OKH. You know, that very clean Wehrmacht who did everything related to anti-partisan operations in very kosher way.

Also bonus points for Dirlewanger, who worked most of time for Allgemeine SS instead of Waffen SS.

>Tulle massacre by SS Division Das Reich, 1944, France

Sicherheitsdienst. Part of Allgemeine SS.

Pretty much everything that happened in France and Italy is dwarfed by shit Wehrmacht was involved in the east.

I'm not even denying nazi war crimes, just pointing out that Waffen SS role in all that was way smaller than it is usually implied and involvement of Wehrmacht is generally downplayed a lot. Wehrmacht were far from dindu nuffins.

The coolest chick I know still doesn't realize why guys think BoB is so great. I think it's safe to say there is a uncrossable gender gap with this particular piece of media.
