it's often said the german army was collapsing and everything else. the german army was collapsing. the food was not good. there was a sense of futility, but why was there a sense of futility? because of the american intervention, the certainty you have won a million american troops already fighting in france and you have 3 million american troops projected for 1919 when it is assumed the war will drag into 1919, and is just going to be no way. by 1918, the u.s. has economically dominated the war. y 1918, the u.s. has spent more in its first and only year of the war, then britain, which had been the paymaster, in the previous three years. the u.s. was building five time more ships and the british were by 1918. the u.s. was supplying half the aircraft on the western front right 1918. the u.s. was on track to have an air force of 25,000 planes and 100,000 trained pilots in time for this campaign. you can see that between the pinkish color and the grey color, that is the front line on armistice day 1918, and you can see the british and french offensives have stalled. they are really no

paris -- german descent on paris. the germans in july 1918 made one last attempt to break through, throwing everything they've got into this attack, basically in this area here from chateau thierry where they are trying to break through, trying to take paris. the germans estimate if they can take paris, the war will be over. french morale will completely collapse. the french war industry will be stifled, so they are wagering everything. this is where something like 10 u.s. divisions fight really ably against the germans, joining with french divisions as well. this is where the u.s. their division earns its nickname, the rock of the marne, because they are deployed along the marne river at chateau thierry, and they fight along the water's edge. they don't give ground the way the french and british were in this elastic defense that have been pioneered by the germans. they fight right at the water's edge. they have punishing casualties. it's described in the book how shocked the germans were at this kind of resistance. a

they landed in the germans' hands. the german start calling down what is in them. this does not endear them at all. the door boys are starting to get pissed. they have no medicine. they can't get to the water because of the snipers. things are starting to look very bad. by this point, they have taken almost 70% casualties. almost 60% in the first 48 hours. e know they need resupply. they start dumping down on these guys. the problem is from the air, a forest looks like a forest. here as there. these two guys go out in the morning. he thinks he see's a signal panel on the ground. the plane is so shot up when they get back, they have to borrow somebody else's plane, they have a new plan. we don't know where they are, let's find out where they're not. a flight back and forth across the ravine and let the germans shoot at them. they marked the hotspots. by process of elimination, they are going to find out where these guys are. at the same time, they are not lost. everybody knows where they are. like they said, the germans knew where we were. the lost battalion came fr

part of what they are doing is, we need to eliminate those german aircraft, so any time german aircraft come up to engage they will do some air-to-air. they will also bomb the air drones of the germans to try to take out as many planes on the ground as they can and that's pretty successful, but then they are doing what they at the time talk about is strategic bombing. we don't typically we would call it more interdiction. they are trying to hit rail lines, supply depots, things like that, and it's pretty effective and it's one of the reasons why the offensive works as well as it does. at least it's part of that, i can talk about sammy hill all day. >> but he's kindly watched me with all the other speakers so he's not going to and we're going to go to our last question of the day, thank you, sir. >> do chopper pilots have the same culture? >> chopper pilots, this is very interesting. and it's something i try to get at in some of my longer works is how do the different types of flyers have different cultures? i personally have not looked at rotary wing guys very closely so i can't speak d

and german art it's about wagner as of german nationality and german and german identity when i made that discovery i thought my little astray in jewish shoulders does not have to be lumbered with the idea that i'm having to put five hundred years of german history on stage. because wagner and the meistersingers onto the witness stand. oh. their message the scapegoat of the peace wears a caricature mask of the jew as seen by anti semites a parody of wagners obsession and a wake up call against national chauvinism and racism. has the by what festival ever seen such a critical examination of wagner before. cos he wouldn't be costly if he didn't have another iron in the fire at the same time as his by word production he's presenting a leader in the guard easy. to get kind of shook up. he and two singers have put together a very special program with a theme close to his heart jewish music and its worldwide influence operetta song. but i guess. after two months of being in by hoyt and and being in the most you know. non-kosher. sort of cultural capital in germany to sort of come here and

germans. [laughter] millions of germans then slogged it out for four years in the mud and the trenches, having no wartegy to win the long they had started. men52 months 70 million plot at each other, murder and carnage increasing. brutality in a rising tide of hate, in whose wake we are all still living. they fought through seas of mud and blood, through mutual slaughter and reckless mayhem. they fought for the dissolution of empires and an end to law. german leaders had succumbed to the allure of battle, to the delusion that their tactical and operational skill was sufficient to win, right at the outset, all at once. there's no need for strategic planning. were so committed to this that even after that failed could -- failed catastrophically they did it again and again and again. they looked for the annihilation battle in the east in 1915. they turned back to the west in 1916. -- finally defeated and exhausted russia, then back to the west in 1918. wars, as hgnd all wells called the fight, wi

the americans attacked, all 24 germans defeated germans. they fought americans. they can't give up geography for time. where the rest of the attacks launched, it's almost the attack. but not quite. the americans first, the british and french, belgian french and british and the french attack here. so it overwhelms the attack, overwhelms the different -- the reserves are out-of-the-way. it forces the germans to quit. eisenhower was stuck at gettysburg. he didn't make it there. he did write the books we see today. he walked the terrain, saw post that brought the strategy. you see him in the career on. interesting. that's where the war ends in the red line is a start kickoff point and the 26th of september. you see where we end and that's the 11 november 11:00 o'clock. is a lot of french tank, oftentimes by americans sometimes by french thinkers. the plan is that this is the sector i'll talk about in some detail. here's the music valley and we have them use river that goes through this. the plan is to launch the attack with three american court, this will be the firs

you cannot move as germans know. the germans actually knew before they started the war in 1914, you cannot move 2 million met with that dexterity that is required. you cannot. the armies are destined to smash into each other, to bog down, and then to -- and then to slug it out. these armies were in place from the very start. in 1914 the germans attacked with all the reserves in the opening attack. they thought this is going to be a short war. we give everything all at once and we win it all at once. that meant the reserves of entire nations and now also even of empires were rushed to the front on the trains at the very outset before the first units and a skull met. literally, millions of men in red blue and fresh and brown rushed to the fronts they crashed into each other like lumbering sumo wrestlers. they struggled in attritional warfare until finally 4 1/2 years later one of the great armies finally fell down, virtually exhausted. just before most of the others were about to. the third factor that made all of this

one of their pilots talk in his memoirs how for german ook anti-fire look to fly into it, so a german would come up and he get into a dog fight. that's the kind of aggressiveness we're talking about. lafayette pilots, i noticed that almost every presentation we've heard today some way orppies in another, i don't have any puppies for you, because these are fighter pilots, they are than that.sive their mascot was two lion cubs. whiskey and one of named soda because, course, they were -- quintin roosevelt was a good example of aggressiveness. son of teddy roosevelt, of course, he wrote about how he this is a quote, "i'm quite anxious to see combat." so he joins. over to be a pilot and he does a very typical fighter pilot thing, which he knows he bad eyesight. he can't see anything. so he's not going to pass the won't let him fly, so what does the fighter pilot do, he sneaks into another office ahead of time, emorizes the chart, aces the test, he can't see anything but he gets into a dog fight fairly arly and he's so excite, he loves the adrenaline, feeling of being in combat in his aircr

with stories about the persecution of a german minority and italy. what is interesting to me for an analysis of hitler's as a political figure and later as a instead leader is that of backing slightly away or soft , what he recognized as germanvantage vis-a-vis voters, he insists that all the others are wrong and i'm right. there is no soft peddling of the alignment with italy in this. there is a real sense on his part that "i've come up with the right answer and those who ." agree are wrong in other words, nothing like what other political leaders might do, a kind of soft ,eddling of the specific issue so i would argue that is the .ther important facet in terms of a political leader politicalards vulnerability but instead insist that he is right, the critics are wrong, and that, i think, tells us something that is also helpful for understanding hitler's conduct once he becomes chancellor not quite five years after he dictated this book. dr. mueller: ok, well, let's shift to world war ii a little bit. we are coming to the 75th june.rsary of d-day nex

well they are not yet over the table of course it helps that the three german cars or the german car makers promised more investment in the united states but in the end it did needs to be reached by the u.s. and the european union commission i think we can change mr trump however i think it will be good that the european union follows a strategy of taking the wind off the sates of mr trump and he has a problem because i think it would be wise for the ukraine union to cut its ten percent cut tariffs to lower two percent of the united states and to increase their defense spending to the two percent which the countries of the you of your past have any way promised but you know that you can do it does not have a clear strategy because of southern european countries out afraid of cutting tariffs because of the are. no right what you already mentioned that the e.u. made the tactics of the e.u. in those trade talks may not have been an ideal one but now washington talking directly to two companies to calm a cuz no brussels said that's a no go you mustn't do that and those talks yesterday di
