This videos pretty consistently cover the germans use submarines to attack shipping and the allies respond. yet the russian submarines were a menace to the germans, attacking iron shipments from sweden and cobalt from turkey. The Baltic Sea became the most heavily mined water in the world to combat russian submarines, and I think the germans even built a giant chain to fence them in.

I have an issue with the narrator calling the Entente Powers the "Allies"...
The Allies was a WW2 term NOT used in WW1. -
Any chance of a video about how The Irish resistance fought British offensives 1600-1925?
I think people might like how depopulation and repopulation mixed with asymmetrical warfare works, I'm probably wrong but the Ireland case is amazingly informative about a lot of military tactics.
Great channel btw 😎 -
I like the süspicious code.

I like the accurate information and the little pictographs. Especially the sneak attack pictograph.
-
"lets take a short look...." has 23 minute video lol

Thank you for this excellent history. My Dad of 1st mate on a Liberty ship on Mermansk runs. His ship was torpedoed in the White Sea and towed to shore where it became a Russian fishing boat after the war and was scraped in the 70's.

Fascinating, thank you for researching and reporting this.
:-) -
Funny how he says "depth charge" like "Death Charge"
-
You should do an in-depth video bout general naval strategy in both world wars. I mean on strategic, operational and tactical levels. Keep up the good work, this channel is awesome!
Und vergessen nicht: frankreich ist ein baguette, aber Deutschland muss sein eine kartoffen!
(sorry for my awful german...) -
haha, good puns, and good video
-
I'm currently binge-watching your channel, excellent content that resonates a lot in a military history addict like me. Your formats and sourcing are an amazing sight on Youtube, where the expected patriotic bias too often ruins information for the sole sake of clickbaiting. o7

british did put guns on merchant vessels, so I would say that justified the sink them all approach by germans. Using civilian vessel to transport war materials - also, what did they really expect to happen?
The reliance of germans on subs and failure of that strategy also was nothing new, many similarities can be drawn with reliance of weaker navies on cruisers and raiders during the age of sail. Eventually navies must fight a decisive battle, or surrender command of the seas. It happened every single time, over and over again. -
How not to been, the Monty Python tactic. That's awesome!

The Fast and Furherious at 17:30 had me in stitches hahaha
-
thanks for these, i really enjoy the way you present information
-
Can you do a comparison video between U-boat and American Pacific action.
-
i LOVE your WarThunder puns XD
-
One way of looking at the U-boat becoming unimportant is that it was extremely important early in World war 2 (roughly 1940) had Germany started the war with more U-boats (for example rather than battleships) they could well have led to britian being defeated before the advances in ASW were introduced. One other thing that you didn't mention was improvements in drilling - a rigorous system of simulatiors and and drilling for escort captains was introduced replacing the rather amateurish preparations prior to the outbreak of war.

I very much enjoy your videos, very informative and interesting for such a brief format. Also, you have a wonderful accent and a natural teaching tone. I'll be on Patreon momentarily.
A comprehensive view that compares the Submarine Warfare in the First and Second World War. Due to the lack of a submarine warfare in the Pacific in World War 1, the Pacific isn't covered at all, but there will be an episode on it in the future.
