Its wild how in the west we talk about the encirclement at Dunkirk at the beginning of the war, and D-day and the battle of the bulge near the end as huge events. Meanwhile the eastern front was just dozens battles back to back far more brutal and desperate and on a much larger scale.
Messdp Messdp Dunkirk and DDay were of similar scale and importance. But yeah the war was won on the eastern front though the landings in Italy and Normandy helped a lot.
West are brain washed thinking US won the war when in fact it was USSR who turned the tide, if it was not for pearl harbour US wouldnt even get involved.
@@Rostic1983 Nice generalization numb nuts. The US would have joined eventually if Pearl Harbor hadn't happened. The USSR couldn't be allowed to take all of what Germany was in control of. Because they definitely wouldn't have given most of it back. The US did nearly all of the work in the Pacific. The Brits abandoned their colonies and the colonies wouldn't have been able to go on the offensive due to a lack of military structure.
D-Day is famous because most people know English, watch American movies which are ofcourse patriotic for americans. However stalingrad is also quite popular. You will always get to see this meme on communism related videos. Stalin: wanna hear a joke Hitler: yes Stalin: stalingrad Hitler: i didn't get it Stalin: exactly
“The street is no longer measured by meters but by corpses ... Stalingrad is no longer a town. By day it is an enormous cloud of burning, blinding smoke; it is a vast furnace lit by the reflection of the flames. And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure.” ― Max Hastings, Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945
That’s actually a quote from a soldier fighting in the city, one Leutnant Weiner, 24th Panzer Division It wasn’t actually written by Mr. Hastings, he just quoted it.
Honestly, Zhukov is such a badass. If you read his entire life, it's one badass episode after another. The guy annihilated the Japanese at Khalkin Gol, defended Leningrad, encircled the 6th Army at Stalingrad, pushed the Wehrmacht all the way to Berlin, basically pioneered armored tactics in the USSR, was probably the only guy to stand up to Stalin and call him an idiot to his face and live, and he basically dragged Beria out of power after Stalin died.
The top 10 Russian generals in WW2 were Georgy Zhukov number 1. Ivan Konev number 2 Rodion Malinovsky number 3. Alexandr Vasilevski number 4. Vasily Chuikov number 5 Konstantin Rokossovsky number 6. Ivan Bagramyan number 7 Nikolai Vatutin number 9 Fyodor Tolbukhin number 10
If the whole German army was command by German commander allies would lose. the one whose command the whole German army this time was Hitler himself. He suck

actually, the reason hitler promoted paulus to the rank of field marshal was so he would kill himself before being captured, it was a secret message that paulus understood but by then he had lost all of the respect that he had for hitler, so he didn't do it
There's a myth among German generals that said Hitler's from Bohemia while in fact he's from Austria, Paul von Hindenburg and Paulus are the most examples to call Hitler like that, maybe that's because Hitler's birth place somehow have the same name with a small town in Bohemia where Von Hindenburg ever cross during Austro-Prussian war, i think that's where the mistake came from.
A very good , concise depiction of what happened, considered one of the major Turing points of WW2. A classic example of the tenacious fighting ability of the Soviet men & women, which the Nazi forces consistently underestimated.
We visited Volgograd in September 2014. Utterly fascinating museums and truly remarkable to visit Von Paulus' headquarters at the GUM department store. The flour mill, Pavlov's House and the grain silo are all equally fascinating.
I dont know why, but I always have a great liking for maps in documentaries. Seeing the arrows and division portraits move across the map looks quite amazing and cool
i thInk you should check Stalingrad Battle Data, he is an expert in battle of stalingrad and the author of Stalingrad Battle Atlas. you must check his channel.
Some extra facts I feel should've been in the video. First, Army Group B had from July to November 150,000 casulties but only got 100,000 replacements. Meanwhile Army Group Centre had 146,000 casulties, while getting 192,000 replacements. In fact all Army Groups did the get enough men to replace losses, except Army Group B. Across the entire Eastern Front there was more replacements than there was losses, but not by much. Meaning that Army Group B and all other Army Groups could've replaced every lost man, but instead Army Group B got shafted. A net loss of 50,000 men would've been quite significant. Secondly, in mid August, Army Groups A and B had 11 division taken away, 6 Infantry divisions, 1 Jäger division, 2 Motorized division and 2 Panzer divisions, only to be replaced with 3 Italian divisions and 4 Romanian divisions with 8 more divisions due in early September. Having a net loss of 50,000 men and losing 11 divisions only to be replaced with inadequate and fewer divisions would have been a major blow to Army Groups A and B fighting capabilities. Bonus fact. It wasnt Göring that convinced Hitler that the 6th Army could be supplied by air. Because at the time he was chairing a petroleum conference in Karinhall. Hitler as the Chief of Staff of the Luftwaffe, General Hans Jeschonnek, if it was possible and Jeschonnek said yes, as long as the Luftwaffe retined control of foward airfields. But during a telephone conversation with General von Richthofen, Jeschonnek was convinced it was impossible and tried to dissuade Hitler only to be brushed aside. Göring arrived 22 of November and felt compelled to say it was possible, even though he had had not oppertunity to calculate the tonnages, because he didnt wasnt to go against what his generals decision and more importantly Hitlers decision. Hitler after Jeschonnek innitial assesment refused to change his mind and we all know the rest.
Aragorn195 Yes. The video would have been much stronger to include that broader context. Other points that could have been made is Stalingrad wasn’t the primary object of Fall Blau but was only a secondary objective. Related to this, AFAIK, Stalingrad was the first time the Wehrmacht had been engaged in intense urban warfare in place of the “war of movement”. On the air lift, the Luftwaffe had successfully supplied the Demyansk Pocket in February and May earlier in 1942 over a greater distance but supplying fewer troops. The major difference in the Stalingrad pocket was the effectiveness of the Red Army Airforce. The possibility of a breakout was, according to Glantz and others, nil. The 6th Army had little mobility as they had shipped out most of their horses in anticipation of the coming winter. The lack of supplies and the need to conduct an offensive while simultaneously defending their flanks and rear meant a breakout was impractical. Finally, was Operation Uranus the first really successful application of “Deep Battle”/“Deep Operation” and a crucial lesson in how the Red Army could beat the Wehrmacht on the battlefield?
Assumptions were made on the total weights for the airlifting of supplies and foods...but for the food supplies an error was made in terms of not realizing that it was less dense and took up more spacing on the relief planes. In other words for food it wasn't a question of weight but how much of this less dense supply could be physically fit into the cargo planes resulting in less food that could be channeled.
The battle of Moscow, the battle of Stalingrad, the battle of Kursk, the defense of Sevastopol, the defense of Leningrad, operation Bagration, and others were part of the great Patriotic war. The Soviet people liberated the territory of the Soviet Union from the hordes of Hitler and began to liberate Europe, reaching Berlin and defeating the fascists in their lair.
Your graphics never looked as good as they do in this vid. It has such an immersive feel that the vid drew me in, despite me not being particularly interested in Stalingrad (as it has been covered to death before). Great job! I've read a book by Saul David before on military disasters and it pointed out that the Stalingrad offensive was supposed to be just a sideshow for their attack as their main objective are the Baku oilfields as Germany was facing shortages of it. So the attack was more economical rather than tactical in nature. That Hitler forced his generals to change their plans to concentrate on Stalingrad speaks more as to how he's starting to lose touch with reality by not concentrating on strategic targets that served him well on their earlier victories. Propaganda also had a lot to do with the attack, as levelling the city of your rival will make a great propaganda piece. In the end, it proved to be Hitler's undoing.
Thank you, my friend! Indeed, the fact that 2-3 armies were kept on Don is a proof that the attack on Stalingrad was not a definite goal. Taking Baku and the Caucasus was important not only due to the oil, but because the Soviets were receiving most of the Lend-Lease via Iran, so cutting off this lifeline was important for Germany.
I have to disagree with Saul David. The Germans made mistakes during this operation, but that was not the concentration of force against Stalingrad instead of against Baku. There were not so many troops of the Red Army there as in Stalingrad. So if the Germans were to push towards the mountains with their main forces, the mass of the Red Army in Stalingrad would of swipe the smaller force in front of them, and the main German forces would of ended in the biggest encirclement in the history - Black Sea and Kaspian Sea at their sides, the defenders in the mountains in front of them, and the mass of the rest of the Red Army at their back. The result would of been even worse than the clear defeat at Stalingrad! :)
Hermann Goering, chief of the Luftwaffe, said at Nuremberg trials when asked about Germany not using chemical weapons, that they didn't use them, because their army logistics heavily relied on horses and any retaliation from Allied forces would drastically reduce their capabilities. Shows how desperate they were for that oil.
@@KingsandGenerals Nonsense you say, during WW2, Russia did not have oil pipelines as now. And oil from Siberia was transported by fuel trucks, I from the Caspian sea by tankers on the Volga, and the goal was not only to get to the oil, but also to block the Volga without getting hit in the back.
Though the mission was largely a-historical, based off of the terribly inauthentic 'Enemy at the Gates' film, it's still one of the most classic stages in video game history. For a lot of kids, it was their first view into what was going on in the East.
Among all the battles in history, Stalingrad remains one of the most decisive one of all time. Kudos to the heroic resistance and bravery of the Red Army !
@@historicallegends3702 It genuinely amazes me that teenagers can be so boringly ignorant of history outside of anime memes that they feel no embarrassment about openly supporting genocidal fascists. But got to get that edge troll points, right? Clown.
@@henriashurst-pitkanen8735 genocidal fascists? You mean america? Nuking two entire cities ,killing innocent civilians, air raiding several Japanese and German cities.
Great coverage guys! Happy and proud to share this one! I could tell you tried to pull from legitimate sources from both sides, and admitted how much we might never know due to the chaos of battle and fog of war. Covered some interesting and well recorded anecdotes. Watching your channel grow and change and go from good to great has really been a privilege.
USA and USSR were winners. Although Soviet Union collapsed eventually, it dictated politics in Eastern Europe for almost half a century and USA bulit their economy and global power, still being dominant to the present day. Germany and Japan were obvious losers, but people often overlook how this war just crippled British economy, leading to collapse of British Empire.
Personally I think Britain was the winner. They got part of Germany, suffered far less casualties and were never invaded on home soil. We were very very lucky. The US and USSR got more from it but at much greater cost of life.
I am 0:03 seconds in. I expected this to be, obviously demonitized, but from 0:03 seconds, I am already confident I will like this, and liked, and I am fully confident that this will be equally good quality and more or less perfect. I will give a running commentary of particular points I liked. KEEP IT UP BROTHERS, YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWEEEEEESOME! Those graphics of cities and the oil fields make it feel like Hearts of Iron 3/4 awesome Rivers, Maps, Armies and commanders, as well as the territories taken up to that point are very accurate. Particularly the maps, which are very hard to get that accurate! Army composition is good, as well as the map of Stalingrad and I love the unit symbols, again, brings back the feeling of my playing HOI4 Artworks and clips are awesome, Good job! Nice mention of the railway station! Those bomb blasts graphics are awesome, wish there were more for the Henkel111's and maybe lowering slightly their sound, as it competed albeit not impeded narration. The music is very good, bringing memories of the scenes Soviet Storm and the episode of Stalingrad. Nice job! Perfect ending. Thanks also to your sponsors and patrons!
Yes, indeed. Bessarabia and the Baltic states had not been taken nor Eastern Poland, yet by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, they were technically handed over to the USSR
They definitely werent heros. Raping and killing innocent people and invading poland and others just doesnt seem so nice, especially when germany had the same tactics.
Some people were afraid that this video would be just like the 100 other videos on stalingrad, im glad you proved them wrong. PD: Battle of Kursk next plz
When the map of Stalingrad was shown with the noise of explosions and of gunfire, I started to have Red Orchestra 2 flashbacks, that truly is a PTSD simulator
@@loveofmangos001 Lots of folks that would be considered 'child soldiers' today fought in WWII - even in places like Great Britain and the US you see kids lying about their age. Even towards the end of the war in the Volkssturm kids were fighting. It's fucked.
I really find it amazing to think all this chaos and industrial scale bloodshed was such recent history and within my own grandparents life time. Really makes you think about how lucky we are to be alive today and how much we take for granted.
After Stalingrad, Soviet soldiers said that " We learn how to fight and defeat Germans after Stalingrad." They are right. Plus after 1942 USSR produced advanced war machines and outnumbered Nazi Germany.
5:27 Source of "thousands of deserters being executed" ? The 62 Army executed around 49 people for deserting, which were most out of any of the armies. They had 10 more armies.

Thanks, we will need to consider it! To be honest, the Pacific front of the WWII is my blind spot so I will need to do extra research, but we'll get there. :-)
Orthodox power True, but Kursk wasn't the major turning point on the eastern front. It was the battle that simply killed the last of Germany's offensive capability.
8:25 Actually, Italian Blackshirt units and "Ravenna" infantry division were among the best on the Stalingrad flanks, but they got overwhelmed with tanks
Fascinating video, thank you for uploading. My grandfather was captured with the 6th army at Stalingrad, he was in the 44th infantry division. Many deaths occured in his POW camp of malnutrition. He ultimately lost around 80 pounds moving around different Russian labour camps. Fortunately he became one of the few survivors to finally return to Germany in the mid 1950s where he lived a long peaceful life His younger brother made it to the end of the war as a loader for the Jagdtiger in the 512th Heavy tank destroyer battalion and surrendered to the American 9th infantry division in May 1945.
You can’t even imagine being there. People used to do so different and extraordinary stuff. I mean what does a battle with so many people and modern technology even look like? Imagine the sound.
I am a history buff and your videos are amazing filled with creativity and loads of information. I want you to make more video on wars after WWII which represents modern warfare.Thank you !!!
Great video, just one thing. The not one step back order was mostly used to target the officers who ordered retreat, and soldiers would rarely be shot on sight for a retreat.
I,ve seen this video thousand times and each time my eyes cried .... best Stalingrad video ever .. Keep up the perfect job guys .. much love from wounded Syria
This looks amazing. I really like the use of the 3D style for modern war and it works really well. Some suggestions: 1. The Battle of Vienna (1683) 2. The Battle of Hattin (1187) 3. The Battle of Gallipoli (1915)

There's a myth among German generals that said Hitler's from Bohemia while in fact he's from Austria, Paul von Hindenburg and Paulus are the most examples to call Hitler like that, maybe that's because Hitler's birth place somehow have the same name with a small town in Bohemia where Von Hindenburg ever cross during Austro-Prussian war, i think that's where the mistake came from.
I watched many videos on Stalingrad but this was something else. Amazing narration, level of detail & graphical presentation.
My word this is phenomenal stuff. Seriously stellar work. One of the best yet.
Appreciate the feedback! :-)
This channel is so addictive. So good 👌🏾
A very good , concise depiction of what happened, considered one of the major Turing points of WW2. A classic example of the tenacious fighting ability of the Soviet men & women, which the Nazi forces consistently underestimated.
We visited Volgograd in September 2014. Utterly fascinating museums and truly remarkable to visit Von Paulus' headquarters at the GUM department store. The flour mill, Pavlov's House and the grain silo are all equally fascinating.
I dont know why, but I always have a great liking for maps in documentaries. Seeing the arrows and division portraits move across the map looks quite amazing and cool
Well, it is the closest we can get to be the leaders of big armies. :-)
Best Stalingrad video I've seen so far!
check out the channel TIK, he goes way further into detail than this channel does regarding the topic.
Thanks for all the references. They are really interesting! I subscribed.

i thInk you should check Stalingrad Battle Data, he is an expert in battle of stalingrad and the author of Stalingrad Battle Atlas. you must check his channel.
Some extra facts I feel should've been in the video. First, Army Group B had from July to November 150,000 casulties but only got 100,000 replacements. Meanwhile Army Group Centre had 146,000 casulties, while getting 192,000 replacements. In fact all Army Groups did the get enough men to replace losses, except Army Group B. Across the entire Eastern Front there was more replacements than there was losses, but not by much. Meaning that Army Group B and all other Army Groups could've replaced every lost man, but instead Army Group B got shafted. A net loss of 50,000 men would've been quite significant.
Secondly, in mid August, Army Groups A and B had 11 division taken away, 6 Infantry divisions, 1 Jäger division, 2 Motorized division and 2 Panzer divisions, only to be replaced with 3 Italian divisions and 4 Romanian divisions with 8 more divisions due in early September. Having a net loss of 50,000 men and losing 11 divisions only to be replaced with inadequate and fewer divisions would have been a major blow to Army Groups A and B fighting capabilities.
Bonus fact. It wasnt Göring that convinced Hitler that the 6th Army could be supplied by air. Because at the time he was chairing a petroleum conference in Karinhall. Hitler as the Chief of Staff of the Luftwaffe, General Hans Jeschonnek, if it was possible and Jeschonnek said yes, as long as the Luftwaffe retined control of foward airfields. But during a telephone conversation with General von Richthofen, Jeschonnek was convinced it was impossible and tried to dissuade Hitler only to be brushed aside. Göring arrived 22 of November and felt compelled to say it was possible, even though he had had not oppertunity to calculate the tonnages, because he didnt wasnt to go against what his generals decision and more importantly Hitlers decision. Hitler after Jeschonnek innitial assesment refused to change his mind and we all know the rest.
Aragorn195 Yes. The video would have been much stronger to include that broader context.
Other points that could have been made is Stalingrad wasn’t the primary object of Fall Blau but was only a secondary objective. Related to this, AFAIK, Stalingrad was the first time the Wehrmacht had been engaged in intense urban warfare in place of the “war of movement”.
On the air lift, the Luftwaffe had successfully supplied the Demyansk Pocket in February and May earlier in 1942 over a greater distance but supplying fewer troops. The major difference in the Stalingrad pocket was the effectiveness of the Red Army Airforce.
The possibility of a breakout was, according to Glantz and others, nil. The 6th Army had little mobility as they had shipped out most of their horses in anticipation of the coming winter. The lack of supplies and the need to conduct an offensive while simultaneously defending their flanks and rear meant a breakout was impractical.
Finally, was Operation Uranus the first really successful application of “Deep Battle”/“Deep Operation” and a crucial lesson in how the Red Army could beat the Wehrmacht on the battlefield?
Aragorn195 army group centre was constantly getting counter attacks at Rzhev this meant they couldn’t send free up troops from centre to south
TIK?
sounds like someone else has been reading Antoine beevor, well that's where i heard what you've just articulated.
Assumptions were made on the total weights for the airlifting of supplies and foods...but for the food supplies an error was made in terms of not realizing that it was less dense and took up more spacing on the relief planes. In other words for food it wasn't a question of weight but how much of this less dense supply could be physically fit into the cargo planes resulting in less food that could be channeled.

The battle of Moscow, the battle of Stalingrad, the battle of Kursk, the defense of Sevastopol, the defense of Leningrad, operation Bagration, and others were part of the great Patriotic war. The Soviet people liberated the territory of the Soviet Union from the hordes of Hitler and began to liberate Europe, reaching Berlin and defeating the fascists in their lair.

Thank you, good sir! :-)
The victorious march of the 6th army into paris and then surrender of the 6th army at stalingrad is mind boggling
Your graphics never looked as good as they do in this vid. It has such an immersive feel that the vid drew me in, despite me not being particularly interested in Stalingrad (as it has been covered to death before). Great job!
I've read a book by Saul David before on military disasters and it pointed out that the Stalingrad offensive was supposed to be just a sideshow for their attack as their main objective are the Baku oilfields as Germany was facing shortages of it. So the attack was more economical rather than tactical in nature. That Hitler forced his generals to change their plans to concentrate on Stalingrad speaks more as to how he's starting to lose touch with reality by not concentrating on strategic targets that served him well on their earlier victories. Propaganda also had a lot to do with the attack, as levelling the city of your rival will make a great propaganda piece. In the end, it proved to be Hitler's undoing.
Thank you, my friend!
Indeed, the fact that 2-3 armies were kept on Don is a proof that the attack on Stalingrad was not a definite goal. Taking Baku and the Caucasus was important not only due to the oil, but because the Soviets were receiving most of the Lend-Lease via Iran, so cutting off this lifeline was important for Germany.
I have to disagree with Saul David. The Germans made mistakes during this operation, but that was not the concentration of force against Stalingrad instead of against Baku. There were not so many troops of the Red Army there as in Stalingrad. So if the Germans were to push towards the mountains with their main forces, the mass of the Red Army in Stalingrad would of swipe the smaller force in front of them, and the main German forces would of ended in the biggest encirclement in the history - Black Sea and Kaspian Sea at their sides, the defenders in the mountains in front of them, and the mass of the rest of the Red Army at their back. The result would of been even worse than the clear defeat at Stalingrad! :)
Hermann Goering, chief of the Luftwaffe, said at Nuremberg trials when asked about Germany not using chemical weapons, that they didn't use them, because their army logistics heavily relied on horses and any retaliation from Allied forces would drastically reduce their capabilities. Shows how desperate they were for that oil.
@@KingsandGenerals Nonsense you say, during WW2, Russia did not have oil pipelines as now. And oil from Siberia was transported by fuel trucks, I from the Caspian sea by tankers on the Volga, and the goal was not only to get to the oil, but also to block the Volga without getting hit in the back.
Stalingrad mission from Call of Duty Classic was terrifying. Can't imagine the real thing.
Would it be a good idea to imagine it? Probably would rival Hell itself.
Though the mission was largely a-historical, based off of the terribly inauthentic 'Enemy at the Gates' film, it's still one of the most classic stages in video game history. For a lot of kids, it was their first view into what was going on in the East.
Fuzzy Dunlop it definitely was for me, that mission got me interested in the second world war and history overall

Really glad to hear it. It is made by our new animator. Hopefully, we will be able to employ him in future. :-)

Thanks, nahte!
I'll have to disagree, sorry x)
Great video! One of my grandfathers, communist, had fought in the Brattle of Stalingrad, had been severely injured. Thank you for your work!
Among all the battles in history, Stalingrad remains one of the most decisive one of all time. Kudos to the heroic resistance and bravery of the Red Army !

Great coverage guys! Happy and proud to share this one! I could tell you tried to pull from legitimate sources from both sides, and admitted how much we might never know due to the chaos of battle and fog of war. Covered some interesting and well recorded anecdotes. Watching your channel grow and change and go from good to great has really been a privilege.
Thank you for being with us :)
The USSR was the true winner of World War II. By sacrifice and by winning in the battle that changed the course of the war
USA and USSR were winners. Although Soviet Union collapsed eventually, it dictated politics in Eastern Europe for almost half a century and USA bulit their economy and global power, still being dominant to the present day.
Germany and Japan were obvious losers, but people often overlook how this war just crippled British economy, leading to collapse of British Empire.
Personally I think Britain was the winner. They got part of Germany, suffered far less casualties and were never invaded on home soil. We were very very lucky. The US and USSR got more from it but at much greater cost of life.

The narrators voice and the background music are such an amazing combination
Thanks!
The scale of this battle is incomprehensible.
You must make a video of operation Bagration! YOU MUST!
We are considering our options. :-)
I recommend everyone to watch a series of films entitled "Soviet Storm" Such a drama should not be missed.
thanks for the recommendation my man
Is this on UA-cam?

Watched a couple Stalingrad videos, uploaded this month, and this is so far the most unique
Thank you, my friend! :-)
I am 0:03 seconds in. I expected this to be, obviously demonitized, but from 0:03 seconds, I am already confident I will like this, and liked, and I am fully confident that this will be equally good quality and more or less perfect. I will give a running commentary of particular points I liked. KEEP IT UP BROTHERS, YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWEEEEEESOME!
Those graphics of cities and the oil fields make it feel like Hearts of Iron 3/4 awesome
Rivers, Maps, Armies and commanders, as well as the territories taken up to that point are very accurate. Particularly the maps, which are very hard to get that accurate!
Army composition is good, as well as the map of Stalingrad and I love the unit symbols, again, brings back the feeling of my playing HOI4
Artworks and clips are awesome, Good job!
Nice mention of the railway station!
Those bomb blasts graphics are awesome, wish there were more for the Henkel111's and maybe lowering slightly their sound, as it competed albeit not impeded narration.
The music is very good, bringing memories of the scenes Soviet Storm and the episode of Stalingrad. Nice job!
Perfect ending.
Thanks also to your sponsors and patrons!
:-)
The map in 0:44 its not accurate
Yes, indeed. Bessarabia and the Baltic states had not been taken nor Eastern Poland, yet by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, they were technically handed over to the USSR
They were invaded by the USRR
The sheer amount of carnage is something I can't even wrap my mind around.
JScott Paving Stalingrad had 50 times the amount of deaths than the battle of American battle Gettyburg. & Gettysburg had 17,000 Killed!
@@michaelweston409 More than 50 times more like 60 times as many killed .

Now, russian soldiers are the same, that the german in WW2...
They definitely werent heros. Raping and killing innocent people and invading poland and others just doesnt seem so nice, especially when germany had the same tactics.

So many young men perished. Hundred of thousands of lives, hopes, dreams, families, futures.Ego of men is the recipe to disaster and catastrophe.
Indeed
I really find it amazing to think all this chaos and industrial scale bloodshed was such recent history and within my own grandparents life time. Really makes you think about how lucky we are to be alive today and how much we take for granted.
Indeed. And we need to appreciate that.
After Stalingrad, Soviet soldiers said that " We learn how to fight and defeat Germans after Stalingrad." They are right. Plus after 1942 USSR produced advanced war machines and outnumbered Nazi Germany.
Best History channel by far! Every video is better than the last. I don't know how you guys do it, but you guys keep getting better!

Source of "thousands of deserters being executed" ?
The 62 Army executed around 49 people for deserting, which were most out of any of the armies. They had 10 more armies. So lets play with the idea they executed 30 people each. So my guess like 349 people executed for desertion. Out of 1.000.000+ million military force.
Anyone want to dig into it more?
I'm sure the deserters were easily in the thousands on the Soviet side especially

Believe me. It's the single-most mentioned battle of the Pacific campaign. You'll see. Keep up the great work!

Orthodox power True, but Kursk wasn't the major turning point on the eastern front. It was the battle that simply killed the last of Germany's offensive capability.
Erik Lambert Yes, but they'll have to do Kursk as well, as it was a critical battle nonetheless.

My grandfather was captured with the 6th army at Stalingrad, he was in the 44th infantry division.
Many deaths occured in his POW camp of malnutrition. He ultimately lost around 80 pounds moving around different Russian labour camps. Fortunately he became one of the few survivors to finally return to Germany in the mid 1950s where he lived a long peaceful life
His younger brother made it to the end of the war as a loader for the Jagdtiger in the 512th Heavy tank destroyer battalion and surrendered to the American 9th infantry division in May 1945.
