Spot watched the one on Battle of the River Plate to see what these looked like and came away impressed. Regards, John Kettler I've watched several videos and they were all good. Like the 4 about conquering Norway and Denmark. It's strange what kind of things used to happen at sea when radars and other technology wasn't as good as it is now. One such video, but from another Youtube account is this: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Emrys 504 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Re the Battle of the River Plate, did you recognize Anthony Quayle as Admiral Harwood? Those scenes were taken from the movie Pursuit of the Graf Spee https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048990/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_74 . Quayle was an interesting character. In addition to playing in quite a few movies about the war, he actually saw action as an SOE agent in Albania, once escaping just ahead of a German detachment looking for him.

Michael Before Bismarck was sunk, it first sank British ship called Hood. I watched a video where they used a special "drone sub" to dive to the area where remains of Hood are. They wanted to find out why it sank so quickly, in maybe 3 minutes. And according to this video they did find enough ship parts to come up with believable sounding theory of what had happened.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_jDaUSSPhc Edited May 1, 2019 by SlowMotion 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kaunitz 191 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Found this instructional video on the "Australian War Memorial's" account: "I am the platoon commander [...] I carry a pencil!" 😄 It's the typical textbook "Let's attack this totally isolated enemy position" lesson.
