Years ago, I was wondering if videos of this type could be made. They show an understandable view of how things went down. The books I used to read back in Middle School, circa 1970, where meant for college level and the maps, while useful did not give a good visual of the tactical situation. Thank you for covering less known battles as well.

Erdmenger got some fame (and a Knight's Cross) for commanding the survivors of the german destroyers at Narvik alongside Dietl's Gebirgsjägers (and my own grandpa) so he was a rare case of a naval officer being decorated for ground combat

An interesting tale of how weight of metal can be overcome by weight of mettle. When you laid out the forces involved I was imagining that the British ships might suffer some significant damage, but they were almost untouched. Thanks for another great video.

Re Rubber, Germany even pre WW2 had perfected Buna artificial rubber, but that needed oil so we are back to square zero essentially

Another great video Oscar. More information on little known, but important battles of WWII. Enjoy your summer with Atlas and looking forward to your next one.

I never doubted that the Irish captain would tell both sides to sod off. 😂
