Finland was never invaded by Germany .It joined the Germans on their invasion of the USSR in a hope regain what they had lost in the winter war in 1940.
We also have our own "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" in Athens, Greece, to commemorate all of the fallen Greek soldiers from the time of the Balkan Wars to the World Wars and the Korean War. I didn't know that the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was a popular legend and national monument abroad.
My grand father was here. Corsica, algeria, tunisia, sicilia, italy, France and finally Germany. He never traveled again in his life after that! He never talk about what happen except this : 1- a man set off a grenade at the entrance to the port of Algiers, the hut overturned and they all nearly drowned because none of them could swim. 2- We were watching a documentary on the Battle of Italy. At one point, we saw images of a plane planted in the roof of a house, and he pointed to the screen and said to me: "I was there!" 3- he was in transmission and had to blow up the German telephone lines, but during a night operation, he came face to face with a German soldier. They went their separate ways without saying a word to each other or fighting.
My grandfather was in Poland, france, russia and italy, but on the german side. He also didn´t talked much about it. In his last years I asked him some questions about the war. He surrendered 1945 in italy and went to american prisonment of war.

Your list and the video leaves out the 1939 Soviet occupation of eastern Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, plus Bessarabia. Also, the video leaves out the 1939 Soviet invasion of Finland. Instead, we just see Axis troop numbers magically appear between Finland and Leningrad in June of 1941, continuing on until Finland dropped out as an Axis co-belligerent in 1944.
This map even shows how long the soldiers and citizens of Odessa and Sevastopol defended themselves from the Germans, being already in the deep rear. Really cool detail. This is something new in such maps.
Great video! I wish the background music was a little quieter so it didn't need to be so loud to hear the radio addresses, especially early in the video.

Germany invaded the USSR with 3.5M troops, but they needed 2M more. In fact, for the entire duration of the war, they need 2M more front line soldiers than they had. The war was effectively lost by May 1943, but they continued fighting the war for another two years, when all hope of a good result for them had gone.
In the video, the figures are false, and they completely repeat the propaganda of the criminal Joseph Goebbels, known for his brazen lies. It is shameful for the West that the lie has become the official history of which the brainwashed population of the West is absolute, just as once the brainwashed population of Germany created the Nazis with an anti-human ideology. A fact of history! Hitler's ideology appeared in England and was and is their official ideology, they always and now consider themselves the highest race and the rest second-rate, just unlike the Germans, the British do not openly declare this, but their actions are similar, today the same ideology is followed and served by the Americans as an offshoot infection from Britain. Again, the fact of the history that the "West" prefers to hide: 1) The number of the land army of Germany alone in January 1941 was 7.5 million people, of which even according to the official history of the "West" 90% was used to attack the USSR, and this is 6.5 million! you can count it yourself if you know math, I'll tell you 7.5* 0.9 = 2) The number of German: land army, navy, aviation, air defense, military academies, military police, and other military structures armed and fighting in January 1941 was 12 million!!!The text size exceeds the maximum 3) The number of the entire army, land, air defense, fleet, aviation, etc. in the USSR at the same time was LESS than 5 million! For comparison, Germany alone is 12 million, and the USSR is only 5 million. In addition to Germany, almost the whole of Europe attacked the USSR together with Hitler, in total you can calculate for yourself how many each European country had in the army, there are from 20 to 30 million Hitlerites against 5 million of the USSR. 4) In addition, Hitler's ally was Japan, also ready to attack the USSR, there was also Turkey, also ready to attack the USSR, they all gathered their armies from the 41st year on the border with the USSR and waited for the order to attack. Because of them, the USSR out of its 5 million was forced to keep troops on the border with these countries up to 1.5 million against Japan, 0.5 million against Turkey. As a result, taking into account the rear structures, the USSR had only 2.5 million on the border with Hitler (8-9 million). 5) The maximum number of the USSR army at the front against Hitler did not exceed 6 million at its peak in 1945, the number of Hitler's troops was from 9 million in total at the front in 41 to 6 million in 43.The text size exceeds the maximum 6) The number of sides at the front was equal only at the beginning of 1943!!! ALL THE TIME BEFORE THAT, the number of Germans and Hitlerite troops was many times greater than the number of Soviet troops. Only after the beginning of 1943, the number of the USSR army at the front began to exceed the number of Hitler's troops on the same front. Ps: the video did not show the size of the army of the "allies" and the Germans in 1939 on the western front when Hitler attacked Poland. Ask yourself why such facts are hidden from you, even in an ordinary, albeit false picture. But if you know the history, you can easily find out that there was a huge army of "allies" on the western front who stood and did nothing, only occasionally played football with the Germans. If they show the numbers on that front, then any viewer will understand that: a) either the "allies" were many times weaker than the Germans when, even with a 10-fold numerical superiority, they were afraid of the Germans and could not do anything to them, b) or the "allies" were Hitler's ally and surrendered Poland to Hitler.
3:24 the Greek man on the radio says : "Greeks! This is the still free Athens Radio Station. Greeks! The German invader is in the outskirts of Athens. Brothers grasp with your souls the spirit of the front! The invader is coming with all of his forces...."
Для меня, как для внука участника этой войны, это не просто цифры. Это горе. 27 миллионов трагедий. 27 миллионов душ. 27 миллионов не прожитых жизней. 27 миллионов причин ненавидеть властолюбцев, не умеющих говорить за столом.
Not many know that the 7 of those 27 milion are military. The rest are civilians mostly ukrainian and belarusian. Half of those seven milion disappeared in the first half of the war, mainly buy surrender. The rest are the well armed soldiers that won the war. Fun fact: even despite the surrender rate and huge lack of weapons, ammunition and food the russians successfully stopped the well equipped army of the Reich and defended their land to the last at Stalingrad and Leningrad.
Nobody wants to admit that the Americans supported Hitler's ally, means Stalin and Russians. Russians, together with Germans, started World War II by attacking Poland. England and France did not react.
@@tatwo1234 they reacted, all right, by not fulfilling the alliance following the slogan "Pourquoi mourir pour Dantzig?" , a pro-appeasement anti-war French political slogan created on the eve of World War II. They were lousy allies or rather, poorly chosen allies.
@@tatwo1234They didn't react? oooooo )))) Did they tell you at school about the Munich Agreement of 1938? The Munich Agreement was an agreement between Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States of Italy, drawn up in Munich on September 29, 1938 and signed on the night of September 29-30 of the same year by German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier Beni and Italian Prime Minister Mussolini. The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia would be free and linked with Germany in the Sudetenland within 10 days. Or you may know about the joint statements of the "Imperial Industrial Group" and the "Federation of British Industry" (the "Düsseldorf Agreement") - an agreement signed in Düsseldorf on March 15, 1939, which stipulated the economic division of Europe between the monopolies of Germany and England. People rarely write about this. It’s as if their countries and governments are trying to hide these shameful facts, presenting the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as the only one with Hitler’s Germany. “The Soviet Union is bad, but we always knew that Hitler was bad and were never friends with him” Ahahaha.
Before invasion of Poland the German Reich had annex Austria and most of Czechoslovakia. It was around 634km2 in size thus would be second largest country in Europe today and second only to Russia.
For many millions of German soldiers, the war did not end in May 1945. The last prisoners of war did return home in January 1956. My grandfather died in a Russian camp in November 1945. He was a simple soldier.
Partizans had full control of 50-60% of the territory through the whole war. Germans were basically holding big cities and corridors for the main roads/railways, and they were holding those with heavy casulties since Partizans had daily ambushes and diversions. Germans had to keep in Yugoslavia, especially Serbia, big force just to hold it. Yugoslav resistance was 50x more succesful and better organized than for example French, which was pretty weak compared to positive propaganda media gave them in post war years up to now. Not to mention that Tito even managed in 50s to fight off Soviet rule and to secure basically neutral position for Yugoslavia in the Cold War era. Although Yugoslavia was in reality more leaning toward West, it was receiving big Western aid, was heavily influenced by Western culture without strong censorship, had open borders etc.
He miss Russian invasion on Poland with Germany too. I mean this is typical way in west european history , to hide Russian coop with Hitler and leave Poland ally with no real ingeration. Poland in this time was France/GB ally. After war they leave us in Stalin influence, Moscow establish his gov in Poland and no one help us when AK ( Polish Army) continue fight with Russians after end of WWII. So we suffer from Russian terror since 1989 ("Round table").
1:17 Hitler translation: "I've stood up for you over these years, that I've spent my time properly for my people give your vote with a yes! Then stand up for me as I stand up for you." 3:53 Hitler translation: "We Germans are sick and tired of this continuous oppression."
It's amazing how Germans rallied for such a cheap populist like Hitler. Sadly populist leaders still today gain power by empty phrases blaming outside factors for internal issues and people still fall for it today.
You mean when USSR had a terrible loss in 100 days against 10/1 killed in Winter War ? What you clown mean by "invasion" ? False fag ? Yes. Stay on your own side fuc##rs as now we have some backup.
Ссылаясь на соображения безопасности для Ленинграда, расположенного вблизи финской границы, советское руководство выдвигало несколько предложений на протяжении 1938-го и 1939-го годов о том, чтобы Финляндия уступила пограничные территории (Карельский перешеек, острова в Финском заливе, часть области Петсамо) в обмен на земли в Карелии, которые были вдвое больше запрашиваемых территорий. Финляндия отказалась от этих предложений. 26 ноября 1939 года правительство СССР направило ноту протеста правительству Финляндии по поводу артиллерийского обстрела, который, по заявлению советской стороны, был совершён с финской территории. 30 ноября СССР начал вторжение в Финляндию

Do I want to hazard a guess how the Axis numbers kept rising towards the end? They where beyond outnumbered, but the numbers don't go down until the final squeeze not long after the initial soviet push. I'm guessing by then we're talking masses of raw recruits, most of them basically unfit for battle.

Fantastic work. A lot of research & artwork, for sure. Thumbs up. Interesting that there was no number of the Soviet forces invading Poland from the east in 1939. Also, nothing for the Winter War between USSR & Finland in 1939-40. That was a big part of the conflict.

This is great, shows not only the battle lines but the effective strength of the opposing armies. As late as May '44 the Germans were able to amass 3 million troops on the Eastern Front (though the quality of the troops and the amount of equipment was far lower than the three million that invaded in '41). Really well done!

Great video. One small error: the Channel Islands were occupied for most of the war, from the fall of France in June 1940 until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. They are shown in blue, south of Britain but nearer to France, north of Saint-Malo.
Why there''s no URSS invading Poland at the beginning, but some mysterious ghost absorbing Polish land on the East? And no Finland Winter War either. Well, I know why. 😅
Well, technically winter war was not part of ww2. And the reason why USSR is not painted while taking eastern Poland is that he was not at war with Allies.
Maybe that's why Poland seized these lands in the 20s of the 20th century from Russia. And then, in 1939, the USSR took its lands from its enemy Poland. What do you think about the fact that Poland and Hitler took territory from Czechoslovakia in 1937? Poland is an angel?🤔

@@eternakrokodilanto5263 the germans and soviets agreed to invade poland at the same time. If the german invasion is an act if aggresion, then so is the soviet invasion.
As a Pole, I claim that the beginning of the film distorts the reality regarding the side occupied by the Soviets in the war. On September 17, 1939, the USSR attacked Poland from the east, which meant that the Polish Army had to defend itself from two sides. It is not visible on the map, as if the Polish army was simply transferring forces to the west, which is not true. The Germans and Russians were on the same side of the conflict until Operation Barbarossa began. The red army were bandits. I encourage you to read, for example, about the Katyn massacre.
The polish government left before the soviets “invaded” if you expected the USSR to let Germany move all the way up to its borders you’re crazy. They needed a buffer state. Dont leave your people without a government and then get mad when the USSR creates a buffer state that would eventually help to , you know, inevitably beat fascism out of europe
Germany and russians on the same side lmao!! Nazis literally believe communism a jewish ploy, how the hell can you say theyre the same? Its so simple Minded to put all your bad guys into one box, one label. Just so intellectually dishonest
@selftaughtinfection Thats revisioninsm, Soviets had a secret pact with Hitler regarding partitioning of the whole central Europe (the secret part of Ribbentrop-Molotov), they were responsible dor the outbreak of war as well as Hitler.
Two wonderful speeches I recently discovered are Julius Caesar act3 scene2 '...The evil that men do lives after them; The good is often interred with their bones...' and Henry V act3 scene1 'Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...'
Yes. Opération Barbarossa was delayed due to yougoslavia war and italian difficulties in Greece, that’s why Battle of Moscow was in december during the hard winter (Germans had problems in Smolensk and Kiev too). That, and the fact that USSR was sure in late 41 that Japan wouldn’t open another front on the east, so they send a lot of their troops to help against the germans.
@@Puccino710Even sooner there was no chance. Both wehraboos and a lot of documetaries have overtaken a great deal of German that time propaganda that Germans have only lost due to winter. German logistics was a pure disaster, since day 1. They didn't have enough trucks, drivers, trains, coal, ammo, anything. Their army logistics was dependent on horses, and if there were trucks, they were mostly looted. German war industry was a bad joke. War in Poland lasted 3 weeks, France 5 weeks, Balkans roughly the same. German army had no chance at all fighting constantly offensively more than 2-3 months, and they knew it. Also their doctrine since Prussia was like that.
@@noldo3837 and adding on to that, very importantly they had run out of fuel, if you look at any battle in the late eastern front germany did not have the fuel to launch tank offensives despite having the tanks. they even cut tank production from what it couldve been as they had no need for more tanks that couldnt be fueled.
@@noldo3837 Ye, the war on the eastern front was a disaster for the Germans. Invading a country that would not surrender, while it also having the largest land area of any country, is extremely hard. Logistics were the main problem, and I don't see how would the Germans be able to improve that given the limited time they had.
During World War II, geography maps were crucial for strategizing battles, planning invasions, and tracking territorial changes. Consider how the Allies and Axis powers utilized these tools to gain a tactical advantage.
There is missing the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Soviet invasion of Romania and Finland in 1940. It should be remembered that Soviet Russia is responsible for the outbreak of World War 2 AT LEAST as much as Germany. And that the Soviets paved the way for Adolf's rise to power, hoping that he would unleash war on the West, and then the Soviets would "liberate" Europe
Axis pretty much conquered all of Europe by Fall 1942. The Germans were just outside of Moscow, but paused their approach and focused on Stalingrad. Napoleon captured it, burned it, and left. Even if the Germans captured Moscow, the Russians wouldn’t have given up fighting just as they didn’t the French. Logistically, you cannot push all the way into the Urals.
@@tw1ck7 The Germans paused their Moscow advance to concentrate south to Stalingrad. Hitler wished to secure the oil of southern Russia for his military and Germany's low supply of it.

Because the USSR never fought with the Poles in 1939. There was not a single battle of the Soviet army against the Polish army. The USSR occupied eastern Poland only when the Polish government shamefully fled to London, abandoning its country. Thus, the USSR prevented the Nazis from seizing the entire territory of Poland.

In the video, the figures are false, and they completely repeat the propaganda of the criminal Joseph Goebbels, known for his brazen lies.
It is shameful for the West that the lie has become the official history of which the brainwashed population of the West is absolute, just as once the brainwashed population of Germany created the Nazis with an anti-human ideology.
A fact of history! Hitler's ideology appeared in England and was and is their official ideology, they always and now consider themselves the highest race and the rest second-rate, just unlike the Germans, the British do not openly declare this, but their actions are similar, today the same ideology is followed and served by the Americans as an offshoot infection from Britain.
Again, the fact of the history that the "West" prefers to hide:
1) The number of the land army of Germany alone in January 1941 was 7.5 million people, of which even according to the official history of the "West" 90% was used to attack the USSR, and this is 6.5 million! you can count it yourself if you know math, I'll tell you 7.5* 0.9 =
2) The number of German: land army, navy, aviation, air defense, military academies, military police, and other military structures armed and fighting in January 1941 was 12 million!!!The text size exceeds the maximum
3) The number of the entire army, land, air defense, fleet, aviation, etc. in the USSR at the same time was LESS than 5 million! For comparison, Germany alone is 12 million, and the USSR is only 5 million. In addition to Germany, almost the whole of Europe attacked the USSR together with Hitler, in total you can calculate for yourself how many each European country had in the army, there are from 20 to 30 million Hitlerites against 5 million of the USSR.
4) In addition, Hitler's ally was Japan, also ready to attack the USSR, there was also Turkey, also ready to attack the USSR, they all gathered their armies from the 41st year on the border with the USSR and waited for the order to attack. Because of them, the USSR out of its 5 million was forced to keep troops on the border with these countries up to 1.5 million against Japan, 0.5 million against Turkey. As a result, taking into account the rear structures, the USSR had only 2.5 million on the border with Hitler (8-9 million).
5) The maximum number of the USSR army at the front against Hitler did not exceed 6 million at its peak in 1945, the number of Hitler's troops was from 9 million in total at the front in 41 to 6 million in 43.The text size exceeds the maximum
6) The number of sides at the front was equal only at the beginning of 1943!!! ALL THE TIME BEFORE THAT, the number of Germans and Hitlerite troops was many times greater than the number of Soviet troops. Only after the beginning of 1943, the number of the USSR army at the front began to exceed the number of Hitler's troops on the same front.
Ps: the video did not show the size of the army of the "allies" and the Germans in 1939 on the western front when Hitler attacked Poland. Ask yourself why such facts are hidden from you, even in an ordinary, albeit false picture. But if you know the history, you can easily find out that there was a huge army of "allies" on the western front who stood and did nothing, only occasionally played football with the Germans. If they show the numbers on that front, then any viewer will understand that: a) either the "allies" were many times weaker than the Germans when, even with a 10-fold numerical superiority, they were afraid of the Germans and could not do anything to them, b) or the "allies" were Hitler's ally and surrendered Poland to Hitler.

The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia would be free and linked with Germany in the Sudetenland within 10 days.
Or you may know about the joint statements of the "Imperial Industrial Group" and the "Federation of British Industry" (the "Düsseldorf Agreement") - an agreement signed in Düsseldorf on March 15, 1939, which stipulated the economic division of Europe between the monopolies of Germany and England.
People rarely write about this.

Good stuff. Only thing missing was the Partisans in Yugoslavia, since they were independent like the Finns. Otherwise really great.
not only independent they destroyed more german military than whole of so called western front
800 000 soldiers in second half of 1944 from end of the war.
Partizans had full control of 50-60% of the territory through the whole war. Germans were basically holding big cities and corridors for the main roads/railways, and they were holding those with heavy casulties since Partizans had daily ambushes and diversions. Germans had to keep in Yugoslavia, especially Serbia, big force just to hold it. Yugoslav resistance was 50x more succesful and better organized than for example French, which was pretty weak compared to positive propaganda media gave them in post war years up to now.
Not to mention that Tito even managed in 50s to fight off Soviet rule and to secure basically neutral position for Yugoslavia in the Cold War era. Although Yugoslavia was in reality more leaning toward West, it was receiving big Western aid, was heavily influenced by Western culture without strong censorship, had open borders etc.

As a Pole, I claim that the beginning of the film distorts the reality regarding the side occupied by the Soviets in the war. On September 17, 1939, the USSR attacked Poland from the east, which meant that the Polish Army had to defend itself from two sides. It is not visible on the map, as if the Polish army was simply transferring forces to the west, which is not true. The Germans and Russians were on the same side of the conflict until Operation Barbarossa began. The red army were bandits. I encourage you to read, for example, about the Katyn massacre.
The polish government left before the soviets “invaded” if you expected the USSR to let Germany move all the way up to its borders you’re crazy. They needed a buffer state. Dont leave your people without a government and then get mad when the USSR creates a buffer state that would eventually help to , you know, inevitably beat fascism out of europe
Germany and russians on the same side lmao!! Nazis literally believe communism a jewish ploy, how the hell can you say theyre the same? Its so simple
Minded to put all your bad guys into one box, one label. Just so intellectually dishonest
The Soviets and the Nazis were allies at the start of the war. @@selftaughtinfection
@@GraemeCampbellMusic As other countries in the world. Even olympic games were made in Germany.
@selftaughtinfection Thats revisioninsm, Soviets had a secret pact with Hitler regarding partitioning of the whole central Europe (the secret part of Ribbentrop-Molotov), they were responsible dor the outbreak of war as well as Hitler.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Prime Minister."
Truly was the greatest speech ever
ua-cam.com/video/WbDMaimE5Es/v-deo.html
Two wonderful speeches I recently discovered are Julius Caesar act3 scene2 '...The evil that men do lives after them; The good is often interred with their bones...' and Henry V act3 scene1 'Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...'
the 'ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister', that was followed by 'the disastrous military events' by churchill were connected not seperate
The fact that they were so close on capturing Moscow, and yet the Russians pushed them back, that was beautiful
Yes. Opération Barbarossa was delayed due to yougoslavia war and italian difficulties in Greece, that’s why Battle of Moscow was in december during the hard winter (Germans had problems in Smolensk and Kiev too).
That, and the fact that USSR was sure in late 41 that Japan wouldn’t open another front on the east, so they send a lot of their troops to help against the germans.
@@Puccino710Even sooner there was no chance. Both wehraboos and a lot of documetaries have overtaken a great deal of German that time propaganda that Germans have only lost due to winter.
German logistics was a pure disaster, since day 1. They didn't have enough trucks, drivers, trains, coal, ammo, anything. Their army logistics was dependent on horses, and if there were trucks, they were mostly looted. German war industry was a bad joke. War in Poland lasted 3 weeks, France 5 weeks, Balkans roughly the same. German army had no chance at all fighting constantly offensively more than 2-3 months, and they knew it. Also their doctrine since Prussia was like that.
@@noldo3837 and adding on to that, very importantly they had run out of fuel, if you look at any battle in the late eastern front germany did not have the fuel to launch tank offensives despite having the tanks. they even cut tank production from what it couldve been as they had no need for more tanks that couldnt be fueled.
@@noldo3837 first step was to not invade the USSR. Invading Russia is itself a logistical nightmare
@@noldo3837 Ye, the war on the eastern front was a disaster for the Germans. Invading a country that would not surrender, while it also having the largest land area of any country, is extremely hard. Logistics were the main problem, and I don't see how would the Germans be able to improve that given the limited time they had.
During World War II, geography maps were crucial for strategizing battles, planning invasions, and tracking territorial changes. Consider how the Allies and Axis powers utilized these tools to gain a tactical advantage.
There is missing the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Soviet invasion of Romania and Finland in 1940. It should be remembered that Soviet Russia is responsible for the outbreak of World War 2 AT LEAST as much as Germany. And that the Soviets paved the way for Adolf's rise to power, hoping that he would unleash war on the West, and then the Soviets would "liberate" Europe
Who closed eyes on demilitarisation of Rheinland? Anchluss of Austria? Division of Chechoslovakia? And USSR responsible for this? Idiotism.
Axis pretty much conquered all of Europe by Fall 1942.
The Germans were just outside of Moscow, but paused their approach and focused on Stalingrad.
Napoleon captured it, burned it, and left.
Even if the Germans captured Moscow, the Russians wouldn’t have given up fighting just as they didn’t the French.
Logistically, you cannot push all the way into the Urals.
russians burned moscow, not napoleon
They not "paused" , it was us, the Russians, who defended Moscow with a human shield there
@@tw1ck7 true

When and why did the soviets join the war again? What dates do you have the great patriotic war down as? Which is the only bit of the map that is blue in 1940?
@@eddiel7635 Not to mention they always forget that all of the equipment the USSR was using came from the USA. Even the crappy excuses for tanks they were using were only possible, because of the US Steel we gave to them.
That they've NEVER paid back.
But this is typical for those that try to glorify the USSR. Just like all those that don't understand the US essentially was winning the Cold War from it's inception. All the USSR ever did was make something or do something and lie about it's capabilities then go "OH SHIT" when the US went on to fucking destroy them in that area.
One of the Greatest example of this was the MIG-25 that they bluffed the shit out of it's capabilities - which caused the US to make the F-15 Eagle that beat all of the MIG's "records" even going as far as to shatter them by over 25% making the Soviets piss themselves.
The Cold War can be summed up in one little funny skit.
USSR: We made this thing! And it can do this incredible shit that we're totally in no way inflating to scare America!
USA: Oh Shit....we better work on something.....(creates an actual Superweapon)
USSR: (See USA's newest weapon) Oh Shit, What do we do, what do we do! We we're just fucking lying and then they made an actual super weapon! Oh Shit, Oh Shit.......

Why is there no Soviet Union marked on the map at the beginning of the war? It invaded Poland from the east 2 weeks after Germany invaded from the west.
Because the USSR never fought with the Poles in 1939. There was not a single battle of the Soviet army against the Polish army. The USSR occupied eastern Poland only when the Polish government shamefully fled to London, abandoning its country. Thus, the USSR prevented the Nazis from seizing the entire territory of Poland. And here we are talking about the war.
@@ladystengvidion6630 No, URRS invaded Poland Allied with the Nazis
@@AndresAlarcon-p6k What is Urrs? xD
@@AndresAlarcon-p6k Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. The USSR entered Poland only on September 17, 1939, when the Polish government had already fled the country.
Thanks to this, it was possible to prevent the Nazis from capturing at least eastern Poland
But "innocent" Poland in 1938, by agreement with the Nazis, invaded Czechoslovakia and seized part of its territory (Teshinsk).

The uSSr should be colored with the color of the Axis powers from 1939 to 1941. Stalin cooperated with Hitler and was later betrayed by Hitler - in this moment the uSSr switched from a de-facto-Axis-Power to a de facto Allied power.
No this is not true. Hitler and Stalin were never allies.
It was a nonaggression pact. By your logic, Britain should be coloured with the axis too during the period Neville Chamberlain was negotiating with Hitler over Austria and Czechoslovakia 🤦♂️
@@blueciffer1653 They were great allies until Hitler betrayed Stalin. They fought together against Poland and supported each other logistically in the other campaigns. That's a historical fact, which cannot be denied.
