During the Battle of New Orleans, near Challmette where I grew up there was a British general Packingham that told Andrew Jackson, a bloody good Scotsman leading us, a group of volunteers, to fight like gentleman and not shoot officers. Andrew Jackson sent word back, “If you were gentlemen, you wouldn’t be in another man’s country.”
exactly why i laugh when i see people on these types of films commenting on the "poor german soldiers" plight etc ...hilarious to me hitler was a whole clown
@@futuretimetraveller8677 Of course I am absolutely against painting Germany as a victim, and only God can redeem all those Germans who killed innocents in particular, because the brutality shown by the Wehrmacht and SS was unrivalled in the world. But many German soldiers didn't commit atrocities either. They were often times, just young boys deluded by state brainwashing into fighting this war, or pressed into service. War spares no morals, and it takes any life unfairly, no matter how evil or kind someone is. Hitler was a criminal against Germany too.
i watched another one of these types of films from a german soldiers diary few days ago... amazing just how arrogant and racist most of the german people were (not just the soldiers); they were taught a hard lesson
Russians had MUCH better clothing than the Germans, more reliable weapons (PPSH-41 is AMAZING!!) and just SO many more tanks than the Germans... I am no "fan" of Russians and their Politics, but you HAVE to give it to them- a supposedly primitive/illiterate society (according to Hitler) producing the incredible T-34, excellent fighter planes in the last 2 years of the war, the PHENOMENAL IL-2 ground-attack aircraft (much better than the Stuka), EVEN their pistol, the TOKAREV is incredibly reliable (Lugers jammed a lot!).
Their equipment was good but they still faced a lot of losses due to stalin's pathetic leadership and maybe the soldiers who didn't know to operate their weapons in an effective manner.
@@letitbe3625shut up soviets won because of soviet people and talking about winter they could take over poland and keep with resistance but couldnt with soviet their logistics could not deliver to them winter was never a problem
Lend Lease says hello. Early t-34 was a mediorce tank. Most praise it receives because of T-34/85 which came in 1943. And people forget that soviet industry was heavily aided by western allies. Also
@@letitbe3625 That's a bit of a misconsception in the common understanding of WW2. In front of Moscow those German tank units which were in the best shape, had barely 50% of their vehicles operational. Some light tank battallions had lost all their vehicles. Yes, you had those spectacular encirclements of several red armies, 100s of thousands of Russian POWs. At the same time the Soviet resistance was, on average, and right from the start of the invasion, much more determined than anybody had expected, since the USSR had fueled anti-German propaganda prior to the invasion and distributed countless leaftlets and posters that told the average Soviet conscript that the entire German military, not just the Waffen SS (who at this point took prisoners like anyone else), took absolutely NO soviet POWs and gave no quarter. Which led to all kinds of the sort of behavior you saw form the Japanese in the Pacific theatre - playing dead or wounded, only to draw a revolver or a grenade etc. - quickly starting and fueling a vicious downward spiral in that regard. Anyways - right in front of Moscow the German forces were drained, and even if they had taken the city - the Soviet counter-offensive, consisting of 13, largely Siberian, hardened, well trained and freshly equipped ARMIES in snow camo and skis, along with a giant number of tanks, would have been right around the corner. This is what surprised pretty much all German Army Groups, but especially Army Group centre, which actually only narrowly escaped collapsing into an all-out rout along the entire central front. When the frontlines eventually stabilized in early 1942, you had 2 exhausted armies, who had collapsed next to each other in the snow. The Germans where they could finally regroup and hold, the Soviets where they had exhausted their troops and supplies. The shape of the entire frontline was a chaotic mess of all kinds of diffently sized bulges, bridgeheads, pockets etc. While the USSR was successful in repelling the initial German drive towards Moscow, the caucasus (Rostov) and managed to hold and provide some relief for Leningrad, they also suffered absolutely horrendous losses, even prompting some historians to call it a phyrric victory. However, while they could eventually make up their losses in men and material, the Germans would never recover from these huge losses. About 1 mio men (dead & seriously wounded) and a huge number of tanks, armored and non-armored vehicles. It was so bad, that, in the planning for the operations of 1942, the General staff agreed, that from this point on a "significant level of de-motorization" of the army would be nescessary (a trend which would only intensify, obviously). Many historians agree, that THIS is the point at which Germany had already, effectively, lost the war. The remarkable thing is, that they came back from that with 1942's summer offensive (along with the successes in Africa during spring-summer). The chaotic frontline nescessitated shaping operations (to get a relatively straight frontline, in order to free up troops for offensive operations) during spring and everything went surprisingly well. They pushed the Soviets back and the optimism of the initial rush through the Russian steppes returned. In the end, although this "grand offensive" only encompassed 1 army group, down from the 3 at the outset of Barbarossa, they got surprisingly far. However, after that, it was game over. Even though Kursk was a closer call than past historians and many present day mainstream historians know or like to admit. After Stalingrad/the failure of the 1942 summer offensive, the eastern front was pretty much lost on a strategic level, hence the shift to ever more purely tactical (and defensive) operations, which didn't make a whole lot of difference in the grand (strategic) scheme of things.
@@goranmiljus2664not russians. Russians are not cowards who dont put up a fight for their homeland. They fight by what ever means to the last . That's what they did to napolean and Hitler.
Interesting and informative. Historians did a very good job presenting actual facts from fiction. Excellent photography job making it easier for viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Class A research project. Rough combat operations on both sides.
All of these documents are available because archivists appraised the records, then soryed arranged, described, boxed them and developed finding aids so that historical records are availble to those who want to use them. Sometimes librarians do this but usually it is archivist.
Brother. Homie. Homesclice. Youngblood. My brother in Christ. Operation Barbarossa was calculated to last only 2 weeks based on how weak and under-armed the USSR military was at the time by the top German officers. How is it that they invaded in SPRING, and somehow ended up in the winter? Blaming winter is the biggest cope in history lmao.
I was dismissive at first when you called this a propaganda channel, but seeing their video on how russians treated german women, they clearly downplayed the atrocities committed by the russians.

@@barryrammer7906nobody was worse than Hitler
Ironic eh?
Stay in your own country and don’t go into someone’s else’s country and you tend to live longer.
seems like that would be easy to do no?
You think German soldiers wanted to invade the soviet union? It was the nazi high command that wanted it
