    Interesting and informative. Excellent picture 📷 enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Rough fierce combat operations on both sides. Fighting/perishing/surviving knowing certain death/debilitating wounds were often possible. Yet still advanced forward. That's true grit style determination to succeed. Special thanks to the veteran solders. Sharing personal combat experiences making the documentary more authentic and possible.

    That right there is why Germany lost. These gigantic cannons. Germany is simply not very skilled when it comes to logistics and the strain of being forced to supply so many different ammunition types and spare parts broke them.
    The German Army was a meme that couldn't even support itself. The moment the Russians so much as sneezed the Wehrmacht collapsed and Krauts began dying by the thousands.

      Marshall G.K. Zhukov wrote in his memoirs (Reminisces and Meditations) that without the US aid the war would have been lost for the Soviets. The Soviet soldier fought on American canned meat, fired rounds made with American gunpowder, all brought to the frontlines in an American 4x4 truck. So it was more like the US sneezing and Germany collapsing.
      In the late 1990s, early 2000s I was doing some yardwork on the outskirts of our Siberian town. Rumors had there used to be an airfield for the lend-lease Americans planes. In the ground there were still tonnes of American galvanized wire, ceramic insulators etc. We found a green painted crowbar, after 50 years in the soil there was very little rust on it. Everything large enough was marked Made in USA.
      Yes, it was the Soviets that did most of the dying, largely through the early ineptitude and hard-headedness of their leadership. Without the US aid that started arriving in large quantities in 1942, all that dying would have been for nothing.

      The Germans only feared the Russians because they had senior men equipment and materials after all the Germans were fighting on three fronts Russia Europe and Africa. Had the Japanese not attacked America then all that equipment that was sent to North Africa would have been used in Russia. The results would have been very different the best that Germany could hope for was a negotiated peace with the Russians to include keeping the territory the Germans captured but there would not have been complete victory for the Germans.

They could have used them to great effect. Had lots of Soviet weapons they captured. Should have trained them to fight they were willing.
