Another amazing piece of WW2 history. I wonder if we will ever know it all.

Amazing what people were able to accomplish with what we would consider as very rudimentary tools. Now we would have a dozen microprocessors and gigabytes of RAM and lithium thionyl chloride cells.

Maybe BUT mainly crap.
Tizard Mission might ring some bells.
The Invasion of Sicily anyone?
Oh, and the Battle of the Bulge and POZIT, maybe?

Thank you.

The presenter implicity states that this video covers technological innovation only. Clearly, bravery, misinformation, strategy, and a nation's dedication to winning this war were also ingredients that without, victory would have been much more difficult.

But to overlook the innovations that came along as a result of the war and dismiss them...hmm.

Britian's ability to produce aircraft faster than the Germans is a clear factor in why they won the Battle for Britian. And, I guarantee you that Engineers had a role in that.

Again, thank you.

Similarly, the Sherman tank was out-gunned and out-maneuvered by the German Tiger and Panzer tanks, but by sheer volume, helped turn the tide. The U.S. learned much from its armor experiences in WWII and the M-48, M-60 and then the M-1 tanks incorporated much of those lessons.
