In Russia, there is a joke about the battle of Stalingrad: a little boy goes to Uncle Hans and asks: - What is the largest city in the world? - Stalingrad. My friends and I crossed the same street for 2 weeks
@@seymentheboss5194 I heard another version. A little boy goes to his grandfather and asks him: -Grandpa, can you tell me what's the biggest city in the world? -Of course, boy. The biggest city in the world is Stalingrad, my friends and me once tried to cross a street there, it took us several months and after all we didn't even succeed.
Fun Fact: Despite being the sight of one of the bloodiest battles in history Stalingrad was barely mentioned in the original plans to take the Caucuses. Originally the 6th army was to keep going south to the Caucuses along with the other German armies. At most Stalingrad was supposed to be surrounded and shelled to disrupt Soviet resupply and to keep the Red Army there pinned down to prevent counterattacks.
Then why did the German's attack Stalingrad? Is it to prevent soviet counter attacks from the Volga, or to secure defensive positions near the Volga? Or, is it for political reasons?
@@darkmemes953 It was combination of them all. Stalingrad was a known supply hub for the Soviets so capturing it or destroying it would be another blow to the Soviet war effort and the Germans could also set up defensive positions along the Volga River. Politically it would have been a massive propaganda win as Goebbels could say Stalingrad falling was a sign that his regime's days were numbered.
@@darkmemes953 since army group a was ment to secure position on volga river ( not to cross it ) and prevent soviet reinforcement as well as cutting oil supplies from caucass to north, then I guess it was strategic reason The reason they went into city is because only railway line that led from ukraine to astrakhan ( which was, along with stalingrad, last place from which soviets could transfer oil and grain from caucass to north ), well there was another railway line but that line was going south then right to the grozny and then north to the astrakhan, which was long af and AG B never reached grozny so they were kinda fed from the start
It was marked in every German map as "fortress". Vasiliy Chuikov was commanding troops in Stalingrad, he was in China during Sino-Japanese war, and learned a lot from what he saw in Shanghai. Particularly, Defense of Sihang Warehouse. Read about it, it's amazing what those Chinese soldiers managed to do.
@@justarandommalayboi8231 probably somewhere near the warehouse (nearby ambassador buildings) as Sihang Defense was also a show of Chiang towards Western powers in hopes of getting support from sympathetic Western powers
@@justarandommalayboi8231 pretty sure that there's some famous generals around China in early Second Sino-Japanese War as it's the earliest war of WW2 happening before all major world powers got involved, they're probably there to observe and learn experiences just like Zhukov in Khalkin Gol (although in that case he's actually involved and not just touring around)
I remember this building, I've seen this in the original call of duty mission. The history of it was very different from the game itself, thanks simple history for this lesson.
to give you a perspective of how bloody the battle of Stalingrad was the axis forces suffered 747,300-868,374 combat casualties while the Russians had 1,129,619 casualties all during five months, one week, and three days of fighting. this is what makes the story of Pavlov's house plausible.
That´s nothing compared to the completly overlooked Rshew-Bulge. It´s original Usage was for a Flanking Attack on Moscow but that was never realised. Nonetheless the Red Army threw Troops at it like crazy against well-entrenched and battle-hardened German Units. Red Army Soldiers layed there 6 Feet high as they attacked the same Spot over and over again.
@@joemamaobama6863 yah causalities. prob guys stubbing their toes so they didnt have to fight. you also read the medal of honor is the highest award they give anyone. but most of people that got it received it from jumping off a ship to save someone whos drowning, not even in combat. that used to be the loophole/meta for the medal of honor, but things get patched with new updates now. imagine getting the medal of honor for being the life guard at the pool of your platoon, TWICE! xD wonder how many new fake awards they came up with these days for all the snowflakes and lgbt-bbq party of the military nowadays.
@@kapsyvoneisenberg8735 The first call of duty ever had this mission. You were supposed to defend this exact house from multiple German attacks including tanks, the mission ended when reinforcements arrived.
I once got kicked from that map because I was a sniper and hit pretty much all of my shots. had over 90 infantry kills as a soviet sniper before getting yoinked
Never forget 1.4 million, mainly women and children, died due to starvation and bombardment of Stalingrad. One of the most gruesome humanitarian crisis of WW2.
A bit difficult, given that the population was lower than 500k. You are counting red army+Wehrmacht casualties together (or maybe confusingn with Leningrad?). Not evacuating the civilians is also disputed, since there were orders since mid August for doing so, and population at the moment of the city invasion seems to be around 100k. About 40k were taken as slaves by the Germans, with some more 10k being evacuated by the soviets during the fight.
@@tomhenry897 It's sad, but it is very hard to evacuate civilians across a river in a active war zone. There was no way the Soviets could spare the soldiers to oversee the evacuation of civilians, even the NKVD was involved in direct fighting (thats when you know the defense was getting desperate). Not to mention that there would be no way across the Volga. All the boats, even rowing boats was being constantly used to ferry across soldiers and equipment. losing those boats would increase the likelihood that Stalingrad would fall, a prospect that couldn't be left to chance given the fact the Germans had pushed them all the way to the banks of the Volga at one point. Only when the front had stabilized and troops could be spared were the civilians evacuated, albeit some would remain, whether out of choice or being forgotten by the authorities.
My great grandpa might've been there. I don't know that much about him, but I know that he was an Engineer in the Wehrmacht, was on the eastern front and got captured in Stalingrad. He was sent to Gulag and survived by translating german tank/machine manuals into russian to help their war effort. He made it back to germany many years later. Honestly he is one of the bravest people I know and an unsung hero for the CCCP

Ah, the memories are flooding back! I remember this mission in Call Of Duty 2003, oooh it definitely was pretty challenging but even more fun!! God I love those games.. The timeless classics.
Denmark:6 hours Luxembourg:1 days Holland:5 days Yugoslavia:11 days Belgium:18 days Greece:24 days Poland:27 days France:42 days Norway:61 days Pavlov's house:59 days and still win
"The siege of September 13, 1942 to January 31, 1943 will inspire forever the hearts of all free people. Their glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and marked the turning point in the war of the Allied nations against the forces of aggression." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, congratulating Joseph Stalin on the soviet Victory at Stalingrad, 1944
Well funny when he was talking about ''free people'' since Stalingrad was fight between two worst totalitarian regimes in XX century and who were fighting who will rule milions of slaves in conquered nations of Europe. But of course Roosvelt was a commie lover who wanted to think that there is no difference between communism and democrats in his country :).
I loved this mission in the original Call of Duty, you could find a straight weapon that looked like a Mauser Kar98K, but it functioned like a semi automatic, I think was supposed to be a G41-M
@@Endru85x there was, in a way, some of the Kar98Ks inside of Pavlov's House would fire and play the SOUND of the bolt cycling, without the the animation. So you're technically correct, but I was saying that the G41-M specifically is FUNCTIONALLY in the original Call of Duty
German Invaders: "Come on bro! Its got bomb holes in it and everything! Let us have it!" Red Army: *"Its free real estate"* *Cue National anthem on full earblast*
idk man these stories of patriotism and bravery are always so cool, no matter what side you're on, its truly inspiring to know these man fought so hard for their families and comrades
There's a video examining the reasons behind it being Pavlov's house even though Pavlov was a mere Sargeant I was also told he was wounded and shifted away but his men were there still and they named it Pavlov's house even though Pavlov wasn't even around. It was really because of the actions regarding the first day they occupied the structure and it became a contested area along the contact line
About the quote in 8:33, on the Germans losing more men fighting for Pavlov's House than in the capture of Paris. This is one of those "facts" that are *technically* true, but really misleading. During the German invasion of France, the French didn't want the Germans to destroy Paris by aerial bombing. This happened before in other major European cities, most notably Warsaw and Rotterdam. As a result, the French positioned their defenses only on the approaches to Paris, and when those failed, they declared Paris an open city, and gave it up without any further fighting. So technically yes, the Germans lost very few, if any, men entering Paris. But they did suffer losses in the fighting outside Paris.
@Impostor History It can be true and still cherry picking More germans died in *Insert random village in Poland with a population of 2000* than taking Paris, because you don't usually lose troops when the enemy surrenders first
From the roof of the house, they could shoot at the top of the tank, the weakest point of the tank. Proceeds to shoot the thickest part of the tank. 7:38
I wonder how the Germans didn't think to make a rubble pile that their tanks could climb halfway up and shoot at the top of the building? I guess you had to be there.
They didn´t. They just didn´t had the Intention to take it as they were busy at the Factory District. Pavlovs House was in an Area the Germans considered "safe". Very little Presence of Troops there so they throw in a Recon Mission or smaller Attack in there but nothing in the Scale of Pavlovs Fairytales.
@@CoIdHeat they needed it as it overlooked quite a lot of Stalingrad, useful for artillery observers, and quite possibly the tipping point of the battle for the Germans. The second is the fact that the Germans had already stopped producing artillery shells. Hitler had ordered that artillery shells weren't to be produced anymore, as he believed that Stalingrad had already fallen, and that the Soviets would surely capitulate to him afterwards. As we know, the Soviets did hold on, and pushed back hard later on.
Pavlov's House: Call Of Duty United Offensive hehe beat it on veteran difficulty. All you have to do is go to the edge of the 4th story of the house and wait in a prone position until the 10 minutes are up. Was actually the easiest mission in the whole game because of this lol
Dom Pavlova can be seen in UA-cam video, "THE WORLD AT WAR 1973 WW2 EP 9 Stalingrad 1942" at 9:41+. Also in a UA-cam short video, "Pavlov's House: You Shall Not Past" 3 seconds in. The British Pathé website shows it in a Soviet newsreel. Search under, "Life Returns - 1943." 0:33 to 0:38. The building is seen after it had been rehabilitated and lengthened. Also seen in the UA-cam video, "Stalingrad 1946 - 1949" at 1:42.
When the Soviets hide from the bombers, and moved to defend the building, it was because they learned from the Germans Blitzkrieg, and that they would attack right after bombings.

Please cover the Battle of Sihang Warehouse in 1937 where a similar battle of Defense like Palov’s House where it took place in Shanghai where 400+ Chinese Nationalist soldiers called “The 800 heroes” defended the warehouse against multiple waves of Japanese attacks for 3 months buying time for the NRA to redeploy and retreat into favourable defensive positions in China.
This incident reminds me of the time when 800 Chinese soldiers hold out against waves and waves of Japanese attacks in a warehouse during the Battle of Shanghai.
Whenever western historians report on the battles of the Soviet Union, they always act skeptical like the events didn’t happen. But then they’ll report on the craziest tales from British and American soldiers as if they’re absolute truth. It’s a big double standard.
You failed to provide examples. But the Soviets would do that all the time so it makes sense. The USSR would make sure to avoid taking picture of American lens lease vehicles to undermine their importance.
Both are true, the difference being that the countries that compromised the Allied forces still put a lot of doubt on the Soviet effort and are still reproducing the same harmful myths of the Soviet army even 60 years later. @@Juan-qu4oj
I remember playing this on COD2. While using the machine gun defending the building, you’ll here the russian soldiers shouting “this is for my mama, my papa” and there’s even one soldier shouting “this is for my dog you have slained” something like that.
Afanasiev was wounded imidiately after the building was captured, also there was two nearby houses, one still stands cripled as monument. Also never heard about tanks in the battle. Altgough it wasn't at main path of German assualt, it was a crucial observation point and defence line in case of shifting of the front, as well as it covered one of the established river crossing routes.
8:25 General Chuikov's observation that "The Germans lost more men in front of Pavlov's house than in the capture of Paris," doesn't really say much as Paris was an "open city," undefended and surrendered immediately after the Germans appeared, consequently unless a German soldier got drunk and fell into the Seine he had very little chance of dying during the capture of Paris.
"Surrender is forbidden. Sixth Army will hold their positions to the last man and the last round and by their heroic endurance will make an unforgettable contribution toward the establishment of a defensive front and the salvation of the Western world." - A. H.
75% of German casualties occured in the Eastern front. like it or not the Soviet red army was the strongest and most willed army to face the Nazis. their homeland was invaded and so they rose up with strength and glory against the fascists. Слава Красный Армии
Pavlov: Here they come! Ready with the anti-tank rifles! Soldier: Anti-tank rifles ready! Pavlov: Machine guns?! Soldier: Machine guns ready! Pavlov: Get ready, comrades! Hold this position! COD 1 memories right there. 😁👌
I have herd of this from the CoD1 mission of the same name, the history in real life is certainly different. That mission was crazy, and very difficult.
All I'm saying is that we never question weather famous battles the nazis said happened happened the way they say. We only ever call into question weather soviet battles were legitimate.
@@redketchum9527 I'm not so sure. Now because of the "special operation" everyone just thinks Russians never deserved any credit, and even say things like "Nazis were better than the Soviets"
@@redketchum9527 we did let the Germans dictate the history of the eastern front during the cold war, it was only until the soviet union fell and access to the archives was opened up that a lot of myths were set right. However, many still cling to the stories of war criminals and those that lied to get a job in NATO after the war.
Please do a video on the battle of Delville wood. As a South African it would be truly amazing to see our troops remembered on this channel. Thank you..

Yugoslavia:11 days
Belgium:18 days
Greece:24 days
Poland:27 days
France:42 days
Norway:61 days
Pavlov's house:59 days and still win
So Pavlovs house lasted over twice as long as Poland did? The poles of the building withstood more than Poles on the front lol😅
Pavlov: My house!
Soviets *our* house!
Germans: we’re taking that house
Pavlov and Soviets: off the lawn!
The realism portrayed in these animations is amazing...
"The siege of September 13, 1942 to January 31, 1943 will inspire forever the hearts of all free people. Their glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and marked the turning point in the war of the Allied nations against the forces of aggression." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, congratulating Joseph Stalin on the soviet Victory at Stalingrad, 1944
Well funny when he was talking about ''free people'' since Stalingrad was fight between two worst totalitarian regimes in XX century and who were fighting who will rule milions of slaves in conquered nations of Europe. But of course Roosvelt was a commie lover who wanted to think that there is no difference between communism and democrats in his country :).
I loved this mission in the original Call of Duty, you could find a straight weapon that looked like a Mauser Kar98K, but it functioned like a semi automatic, I think was supposed to be a G41-M
There was no weapon like this in Cod, but in united offensive expansion ( German G43 and Russian SVT 40 ).
@@Endru85x there was, in a way, some of the Kar98Ks inside of Pavlov's House would fire and play the SOUND of the bolt cycling, without the the animation. So you're technically correct, but I was saying that the G41-M specifically is FUNCTIONALLY in the original Call of Duty
@@seanmullen4003 Ok, i got it now, thanks :)
I remember, I used to play this map named "Pavlov's house" in FHSW mod back in October, 2020.
Great memories.
What is FHSW mod?
@@MrToasterWaffles It's a mod of Battlefield 1942 game
@@AshfaqurBF Ah I see, thanks for clarifying
The sheer nostalgia 🤌💯💯
Luckely the unic fhsw woman has leaved
This gives me Red Orchestra 2 flashbacks. I really think that the game had one of, if not the best portrayal of urban warfare during WW2 in gaming.
The house that lasted longer than france
The Germans couldve taken it easily if they cared about it

France Flag after the Germans invaded them 🏳️🏳️🏳️🏳️
German Invaders: "Come on bro! Its got bomb holes in it and everything! Let us have it!"
Red Army: *"Its free real estate"* *Cue National anthem on full earblast*
More holes means more windows to shoot out from lol
idk man these stories of patriotism and bravery are always so cool, no matter what side you're on, its truly inspiring to know these man fought so hard for their families and comrades
There's a video examining the reasons behind it being Pavlov's house even though Pavlov was a mere Sargeant
I was also told he was wounded and shifted away but his men were there still and they named it Pavlov's house even though Pavlov wasn't even around. It was really because of the actions regarding the first day they occupied the structure and it became a contested area along the contact line
About the quote in 8:33, on the Germans losing more men fighting for Pavlov's House than in the capture of Paris.
This is one of those "facts" that are *technically* true, but really misleading. During the German invasion of France, the French didn't want the Germans to destroy Paris by aerial bombing. This happened before in other major European cities, most notably Warsaw and Rotterdam. As a result, the French positioned their defenses only on the approaches to Paris, and when those failed, they declared Paris an open city, and gave it up without any further fighting.
So technically yes, the Germans lost very few, if any, men entering Paris. But they did suffer losses in the fighting outside Paris.
@Impostor History It can be true and still cherry picking
More germans died in *Insert random village in Poland with a population of 2000* than taking Paris, because you don't usually lose troops when the enemy surrenders first
Too many people Fall for the Soviet narrative propaganda. Just read the comment section. “Wooow a House in Stalingrad vs Paris”. Bruh.
People just forget that Germany lost 150.000 dead and wounded in the invasion of France
bunch of cowards
From the roof of the house, they could shoot at the top of the tank, the weakest point of the tank.
Proceeds to shoot the thickest part of the tank. 7:38
I wonder how the Germans didn't think to make a rubble pile that their tanks could climb halfway up and shoot at the top of the building? I guess you had to be there.
@@jeffreyb8770
Ah yes try and make a rubber pile whilst your getting shot at.
Totally Easy and not Impossible at all
Love the vids! You guys deserve a lot
Imagine owning an apartment room so important that hundreds of people would die for it.
I loved how the Germans failed to get rid of some resistance in some house in German occupied Stalingrad lol
They didn´t. They just didn´t had the Intention to take it as they were busy at the Factory District. Pavlovs House was in an Area the Germans considered "safe". Very little Presence of Troops there so they throw in a Recon Mission or smaller Attack in there but nothing in the Scale of Pavlovs Fairytales.
@David Nguyen bro broke the bot
I rather wonder - if that story is actually true - why they didn’t just destroy the house with artillery entirely.
@@CoIdHeat the Germans wanted to capture it for its strategic position, not wipe it out
@@CoIdHeat they needed it as it overlooked quite a lot of Stalingrad, useful for artillery observers, and quite possibly the tipping point of the battle for the Germans. The second is the fact that the Germans had already stopped producing artillery shells. Hitler had ordered that artillery shells weren't to be produced anymore, as he believed that Stalingrad had already fallen, and that the Soviets would surely capitulate to him afterwards. As we know, the Soviets did hold on, and pushed back hard later on.
Oh heck yeah. For those who don’t know there’s an awesome movie about this exact moment.
What's it called?
@@jessesmith6824 Maybe Stalingrad 2013 which is a Russian movie
@@hafizihilmibinabdulhalim1004 this is an absolutely terrible film that slanders its defenders
I remember playing this mission on CoD 1 and it truly was the hardest mission on there.
Next video:
Douglas Monroe, first and only Coast Guardsman to be awarded the medal of honor
Pavlov's House: Call Of Duty United Offensive hehe beat it on veteran difficulty. All you have to do is go to the edge of the 4th story of the house and wait in a prone position until the 10 minutes are up. Was actually the easiest mission in the whole game because of this lol
Dom Pavlova can be seen in UA-cam video, "THE WORLD AT WAR 1973 WW2 EP 9 Stalingrad 1942" at 9:41+.
Also in a UA-cam short video, "Pavlov's House: You Shall Not Past" 3 seconds in.
The British Pathé website shows it in a Soviet newsreel. Search under, "Life Returns - 1943." 0:33 to 0:38. The building is seen after it had been rehabilitated and lengthened.
Also seen in the UA-cam video, "Stalingrad 1946 - 1949" at 1:42.
The COD mission!! Loved this
I remember hiding myself in a bath and shooting germans with their weapons when PPSH ran out of ammo, great memories :)
When the Soviets hide from the bombers, and moved to defend the building, it was because they learned from the Germans Blitzkrieg, and that they would attack right after bombings.
Great work as always, Simple History!

Pavlov's House is shown in a UA-cam video, "The World at War 1973 WW2 EP 9 Stalingrad 1942" at 9:42, right of center.
It is seen briefly in "Pavlov's House: You Shall Not Pass" 3 seconds in.
At the British Pathé website it is seen in a newsreel. Search under "Life Returns (1943). 0:33 to 0:38.
It is in "Stalingrad 1946 - 1949" at 1:42.
Please cover the Battle of Sihang Warehouse in 1937 where a similar battle of Defense like Palov’s House where it took place in Shanghai where 400+ Chinese Nationalist soldiers called “The 800 heroes” defended the warehouse against multiple waves of Japanese attacks for 3 months buying time for the NRA to redeploy and retreat into favourable defensive positions in China.
This incident reminds me of the time when 800 Chinese soldiers hold out against waves and waves of Japanese attacks in a warehouse during the Battle of Shanghai.
"oi vadim we must protect pavlovs house"
"artyom why"
"he has kvass"
my grandpa was born in pavlov's house in 1946 right after the war was over
I think fighting and surviving Stalingrad was pretty slim, its a miracle he survived.
I can remember Pavlov's house mission from first call of duty(2003)
Soviets: *"You, shall not, PASS!"*
Whenever western historians report on the battles of the Soviet Union, they always act skeptical like the events didn’t happen. But then they’ll report on the craziest tales from British and American soldiers as if they’re absolute truth. It’s a big double standard.
You failed to provide examples. But the Soviets would do that all the time so it makes sense. The USSR would make sure to avoid taking picture of American lens lease vehicles to undermine their importance.
Both are true, the difference being that the countries that compromised the Allied forces still put a lot of doubt on the Soviet effort and are still reproducing the same harmful myths of the Soviet army even 60 years later. @@Juan-qu4oj
works cant describe thow much I love this channel. history is so freaking interesting
This is a good game on vr too
I remember playing this on COD2. While using the machine gun defending the building, you’ll here the russian soldiers shouting “this is for my mama, my papa” and there’s even one soldier shouting “this is for my dog you have slained” something like that.
That was a different building entirely.
The outro is so cool!
NKVD “a Soviet law enforcement agency”…wow, that’s being a bit generous!
Right lol 😆🤣
Beacuse it is its secret police
@@marinlukacek7821 it isn't secret police by the time. Untill 1946 it was combined police, border guard, counterintelligence and intellience
@@marinlukacek7821 its so secret everybody knew about it lol its more like special service
5:07 to skip that ad
Good video, could you make a video about the 28 Panfilov’s men?
Afanasiev was wounded imidiately after the building was captured, also there was two nearby houses, one still stands cripled as monument. Also never heard about tanks in the battle. Altgough it wasn't at main path of German assualt, it was a crucial observation point and defence line in case of shifting of the front, as well as it covered one of the established river crossing routes.
Nobody really knows what really happened there. It Is in wide party of myth.
@@boerekable there are aerial pics from ww2 planes which show concentration of german troops near pavlov's house
That's a force to be reckoned with.
Thank you for saying "Soviets" and referring to the diversity of nationalities in the USSR/Red Army.
"Russians" is not interchangable with "Soviets"
The animations improved even more, good job!
8:25 General Chuikov's observation that "The Germans lost more men in front of Pavlov's house than in the capture of Paris," doesn't really say much as Paris was an "open city," undefended and surrendered immediately after the Germans appeared, consequently unless a German soldier got drunk and fell into the Seine he had very little chance of dying during the capture of Paris.
A house had more resistance than a country is insane.
Real estate was on fire then
"Surrender is forbidden. Sixth Army will hold their positions to the last man and the last round and by their heroic endurance will make an unforgettable contribution toward the establishment of a defensive front and the salvation of the Western world." - A. H.
Omg, I loved the twist at the end. Reminds me of the movie hero!
Only OG's will know that this was a part of mission from call of duty 1.
This should definitely be a movie.
Actually there is. Its russian 2013 "stalingrad". But its not a good movie(
This is basically the Soviet version of the defence of Sihang Warehouse, which, speaking of that, maybe you could do a documentary on it?
the animation is getting pretty damn good , guys ! keep it up!
75% of German casualties occured in the Eastern front. like it or not the Soviet red army was the strongest and most willed army to face the Nazis. their homeland was invaded and so they rose up with strength and glory against the fascists. Слава Красный Армии
Подготовленной? Сталин до последнего не верил докладам о том, что война будет, ссылаясь на пакт молотова
Pavlov: Here they come! Ready with the anti-tank rifles!
Soldier: Anti-tank rifles ready!
Pavlov: Machine guns?!
Soldier: Machine guns ready!
Pavlov: Get ready, comrades! Hold this position!
COD 1 memories right there. 😁👌
I have herd of this from the CoD1 mission of the same name, the history in real life is certainly different. That mission was crazy, and very difficult.
I recognised the building from a mission in the first call of duty game .
Its one of the toughest missions
All I'm saying is that we never question weather famous battles the nazis said happened happened the way they say. We only ever call into question weather soviet battles were legitimate.
Lmao it's literally the other way around 🤣
@@redketchum9527 I'm not so sure. Now because of the "special operation" everyone just thinks Russians never deserved any credit, and even say things like "Nazis were better than the Soviets"
@@redketchum9527 we did let the Germans dictate the history of the eastern front during the cold war, it was only until the soviet union fell and access to the archives was opened up that a lot of myths were set right. However, many still cling to the stories of war criminals and those that lied to get a job in NATO after the war.
house that lasted longer that a whole nations man thats just insane
Colombians defend Pablo's house Russians defend pavlov's house
This was a mission in call of duty game. I will never forget it. Had to defend the building from attacks coming in all directions
Please do a video on the battle of Delville wood. As a South African it would be truly amazing to see our troops remembered on this channel.
Thank you..
2:43 this gives me call of duty 1 vibes. 💜 It's been years since I played it.
Shout out to everyone who remembers this mission from the original Call of Duty.
That mission in Cod on hard was really annoying and took me many lives to win
Even on Easy
Amazing content! 🥰
German soldiers: let's take this house it's probably easy
Soviet soldiers:what if it's not easy
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
I hear just the name stalingrad and i get full body goosebumps
What is the background music? Also really great explanation of WW2 history and battles!
Time traveler: *travels to Eastern Front during WW2*
Time traveler: "Let's ask that guy where we are."
