The Great Battle for Moscow 1941-1942 | Guderian's Decisive Operation Typhoon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- At the end of September 1941, the Germans had already been campaigning in the Soviet Union for three months, and it was then that they faced their definitive operation on Moscow, known as Operation Typhoon. In this final assault on the Soviet capital, the Germans played the entire campaign. If they manage to capture the Soviet capital, they may well be able to defeat Stalin and end the war. If they fail, I know they will be left in a very vulnerable situation in the dead of winter, and will give the Soviets oxygen until the following summer. In this program we are going to see the entire development of the German offensive, and the subsequent counterattack of the Red Army.

Thank you
Another great video! Hitler failed to learn the lesson of Napoleon, and he even managed to capture Moscow. It made no difference though, the reality of Russia won in the end.
this channel really has grown in a great way!
Your great effort shows,Sergio.
This was very insightful.
Ty man
Heinz,we love you❤
I'm mean, when I look at how doggedly the Russians fought (Lenigrad, Stalingrad, ect); I find it hard to believe that if Moscow would have been taken the entire war machine collapses and calls it quits.
Moscow was the nexus but Stalin would have gone east and kept fighting
The Russian high command already has war plans in case Moscow falls
sovs would not quit, because hitler made it clear he was fighting a war of extermination.

Make no mistake. Geographically Russia was carried to victory by the West. Strategically Russia was the biggest loser and n WWII. Russia suffered more military deaths than all the Western Allies and all the Axis Nations combined. They have never recovered.
German Field Martial Wilhelm Keitel said that when German forces failed to capture Moscow and suffered their first catastrophic defeat at the gates of Moscow by the hands of Siberian divisions of Russian Army 🪖🎖️ he knows in his heart 💜❤️ secretly that the War is lost for Germany in late 1941 and early 1942 itself because Germany lost the initiative at the Eastern front at the gates of Moscow with that defeat, shortly after expressing this thoughts Wilhelm Keitel was hanged by Anglo Americans to please Man of Steel whom History known as Joseph Stalin.
I read his memoirs. Definitely have mixed feelings with keitel. I think ultimately he deserved death. Him and jodl. He was what is equivalent to the chief of staff for the wehrmacht. He was a yes man and from his contemporary generals not deserved of the title general field Marshall. Probably never should been above the rank of a one star General. I believe he said he was his happiest at that rank. But that may just be because the life he was living at that time. If he knew the war was lost(I've also heard) then he should of resigned his commission rather than to issue orders that would ultimately ruin his country. Oh, and I like the part in the movie nuremburg where the us colonel rips off keitel"s shoulder boards after keitel says he was a soldier and just following orders. The colonel says, "there, now you are no longer a soldier, you are a war criminal".
...WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!!
Thank you ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Thank you (War Academy) channel for sharing this wonderful video about typhoon operation of center German armies against USSR. Which carried all accurate evaluating & explained military circumstances of both sides with remarkable knowledge ( Stalin preparation of alternative capital of USSR)...that knowledge wasn't labeled by others...?! For political reasons....good luck and best wishes for you and( war academy) channel
Good video as always, thanks👍
Ty
As I expected...another fantastic video. Keep up the good, nay, great work
Ty
good video. the collapse of the attack on moscow was the beginning of the end. the germans were better soldiers, but the sovs were good enough, and many more. worth mentioning that some sov machines and weapons were better than the german equivalent, too. t34 most important, but stormovik ground attack plane, truck borne mass rocket launchers, and some very useful submachine guns gave ivan a lot of help.
Great content thank you.
Interesting and informative excellent motion photography job & maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Class A research project!!! Zhukov came to the rescue. Reorganize the demoralized military forces. Fortified Moscow's perimeters. Ending the German armies steady advance.
As always I enjoy a good video of the details of what happens when you get some where too late and they are ready for you and your advance gets slammed into a brick wall or two and having frostbite, I know that you have severe pain and your limbs don't work right anymore and you get cold really easy after the destruction of the blood vessels in the outer limbs of the body.
That was a great video. I especially felt close to the actual commanders and I know that I'm one of them. Of great personal meaning: General Guderian shakes hands with General Manstein on the bridge just a handful of kilometers outside of Moscow.
Thanks
Napoleon captured Moscow and then went on to be defeated😅😅😅😅
at 6:31 after Hitler exits the plane, behind him the smoking brake of his airplane (a FW 200 Condor). This has been noted in other film clips. In another film clip, a serviceman can be seen running over to the brake with a fire extinguisher (I recall this was Hitler's visit to Finland).
I Love this Channel.
Magnificent ❤
amazing channel thanks :)
Ty
Most people don't recognize that Army Group Center was smashed before Moscow. The entire German army nearly collapsed.
Good history Channel
👍👍👍!!!
The big decision of whether to make that last effort to take Moscow before winter set in, was opposed by many German generals who wanted the army to recuperate in towns along the river...Runstedt went so far as to suggest the German army should retreat back to the Polish border, as he always found the invasion far too dangerous given Germany's limited resources.
Runstedt was right from the start Hitler is a maniac should never have been führer
That would have been very interesting. If they retreated back to the Polish border and gave Manstein or Model control, they could have stalemated the Soviets
@@JGD185 I think at best Nazi Germany regime could have negotiated with the Russians but I do expect Stalin do go hard on Germany maybe give extra territory in return for peace but then again Allied troops were approaching from the West
The Germans shouldn't have wrecked havoc on the civilian population, it would have given them more leverage in an armistice. 25 million Soviet citizens dead, the Germans simply sealed their fate against the Russians, there was no way the Russian high command would throw it under the rag.
I like this channel
Ty
great video and fantastic maps that show in detail such a decisive battle. However, we can speculate on the fact that without declaring war on USA, the victory's window opportunity might have been extended for Germany and allowed the full conquest of the Oil in the Caucasus
Hate any videos with computer generated voice. Use your own voice and put subtitles if need be
As with Gederian's memoirs, you gloss over the disaster he suffered at Mtsensk. On 4 October 1941, the 4th Panzer Division, part of Guderian's 2nd Panzer Group, was pretty well wiped out in a few hours at Mtsensk. Colonel Mikhail Yefimovich Katukov achieved the first major victory of the Soviet armored forces against the Germans. Barely rates a sentence in Guderian's copious memoirs.
Hwy bro,please can u do a playlist of videos on strategic plans for wars
if corporal hitler didnt keep diverting his forces, who knows what would have been achieved
...THE RUSSIANS HAVE A VERY LONG HISTORY OF EVENTUALLY THROWING INVADERS OUT OF RUSSIA: EVEN IF HITLER HAD BEEN ABLE TO CONQUER RUSSIA, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ON TO IT!!!
they should stop after Vyazma and prepare fortifications and end winter campaign...
100% true! I agree! That was the only way to fix that mass colled Barbarossa. Because, If they doing that what you said, and put Gothard Heinrici to be the only comander of eastern front, in spring 1942 will be diferent like was in real ww2 on this year. Also, after October, 1941, Hitler must send winter equipment for the german army. Without that winter war ( 1941/1942 ) was masohistic for Wehrmacht. But, Hitler didnt understood that. He just insist keep the front, but on wrong way. In winter 1941/1942 can be much better situation for german army and options for continue the war in 1942.
Good channet hostory
Good video War Academy.... appreciate you!
Ty
Guderian the best general of panzer Army of all Second WW a true innovator and tactician.
The US ARMY interviewed General Guderian about tactics .
The Soviets were mobilizing like made, but the Germans were not: seems like they could have stripped garrisons from Norway etc and sent more support: it was more than a year before Goebbels gave his famous "total war" speech.
a few miles short from a completly diffrent world
yes it's so sad.
Something I learned while attending the Army OCS course. "Proper planning prevents piss poor performance." It's called the 6 Ps. As I can't read Russian, would you use English words on your maps or both?
Yes! the most important battle of the 2nd WW. By far. Please get help with narration.
One anecdotal story about all this concerns the German decision as to what to do after completing encirclement battles southwest of Moscow; A) continue onward and try to take the capital or B) forget about anymore fighting for that year and instead see to the troops being well housed for the winter. Von Rundstead was supposed to have suggested the Germans retreat all the way back to the Polish border....always against the invasion, I guess he thought a peace treaty could be negotiated, in Germany's favor, since up to this time the German army seemed invincible.
Where is the video about courland pocket?
ua-cam.com/video/YHG-A64lwcU/v-deo.html
I find the Battle of Moscow more pivotal and important than either Stalingrad or Kursk.. Wehrmacht lost around 100 000 soldiers in Stalingrad, and less in Kursk. But it was 1943 and USSR was much stronger after getting all those trucks and Jeeps from Uncle Sam while Germany was ravaged by Hitler's bad decisions.. But again, if Hitler didn't split his Armies and halted the attack on Moscow in October 1941, Guderian would probably enter the city..
Also if I ever hear people calling Rommel "One of the greatest German generals of WW2" I will start slapping people around.. Guderian, Hopner, Rundstedt, Von Bock, Von Menistein, all giants of the Eastern Front while Rommel had some success in France, was humiliated in Africa and then went to his wife's birthday on D-Day while being a overall commander of the Western Front (under Rundstead). Pathetic.
Since the West hardly went against those giants it makes sense for them to lionize Rommel to make the West look good.
When you plot to kill the King(Hitler) you best not fail! I believe Rommel knew the consequences if they failed! The courage to remove a murderous Maniac. That caused all this death and destruction. He knew as a inside military man. Sabotage their own war efforts or to eliminate Hitler. To save lives and the Fatherland. He failed to accomplish any of his objectives. Paid for it with his life!🤔
The Germans and their Allie’s lost 800k casualties in Stalingrad both wounded dead and captured
The axis lost 1 million men dead and wounded at Stalingrad.
Rommel was very good! He exceeded all targets given to him in North Africa hence he was made Field Marshal. And he could have easily won in North Africa. But East Europe was Hitler's focus hence North Africa was starved of men and material once Operation Barbarosa started. At El-Alamein, the nos of Allied tanks to Axis tanks was like 2:1 and Rommel cant get replenished. But yes, he is not on the same level as the names you mentioned
Actually I just read in a Book, that the Russian from Smolensk , Moscow and Gorgi Areas recruited men there, forming 36 Army's. So then if AGC continue the Advance in August 1941, they would have Stop the recruitment of all these men and the formation of all these Army's Why? Why they would of taken these Areas.
600k pow in first phase of typhoon. Anyone would think we’re going to win….
4:38 Khrushev was there. All the leaders of USSR were there. As both of my granddads at fronts. Do not think that I forget anything. Even my daughters do not.
Excellent work.
Hitler was total.
Guderian a front line General.
And Tula was never captured. Does it ring a bell, Tula?
Why is the voice so choppy? Is this what a robot sounds like?
Hi
Hello greats videos!!!!!
May have been a Stalin doppleganger giving the speech?
3rd and 4th weren't yet designated as Panzer Army's. Still Panzer Groups
Going in as Fall arrives? No No No
Yes indeed. Old man winter has a surprise for you.
My opinion: Germany in that time got mighty Wehrmacht and the best generals and feldmarschalls in the world. Similar like Napoleon in 1812. But, except that, Germany , in 1941, got two problems - fuel and one genial leader for millitary and strategic blunders - Adolf Hitler. Before invasion of the USSR, Hitler was doing one tactical blunder ( 1940, Dunkirk ) and one strategic ( 1940, Battle for Britain ). In 1941, strategic blunders was two, Barbarossa and declaring war to USA. But, even Barbarossa was started, even on that front, Hitler was doing another 3 tactical blunders. First, Wehrmacht must taking Leningrad, in August 1941. Second, Moscow must be taking first, in September, 1941. Third, attack on Kiev must be delayed to spring 1942. Because, after taking Moscow, war will not be over, but fall of bolshevic metropolis that will be enormous blow for soviet moral and slap for Stalin. PS: before 129 years ( from 1941 ) Napoleon was doing same strategic blunder when he was attack Russia. He didnt understood too that Russia is enormuos and giant land with stuborn leaders and fine generals. And of course, very cold winters. But, how I said, Napoleon was a millitary genious. And, Hitler was only genious for blunders. All Barbarossa was one giant madness and nobody cant fix that. Even Model, Guderian, Von Manstein, von Paulus, Halder or Rundstedt. Nobody was win Adolf Hitler in war 1939 to 1945. Hitler got personal responsability for german total defeat in ww2. And Germans were wrong when they elected Fuhrera for first man in Germany, in free and democratic elections, in 1932 and 1933.
I read all you said and you are right
@@JDDC-tq7qm Thank you! And how I said you are also right. Bye bro!
@@JDDC-tq7qm Thanks!
Blitzkrieg vs berezina or boris yeltsin
It was a decisive German defeat. It showed that the Germans could be beaten. It showed that the Soviet regime was solid.
Eternal Glory to the Defenders of Moscow!
Those unit markers are terrible. Why not use the basic NATO markers for armor/infantry units. The ones you are using are all for cavalry.
You should use the proper military symbols...all are calvary.
This was a major disaster and the supplies were what ruined them and the frostbite destroyed the army of the German nation.
100% true! That was real disaster from Adolf Hitler, not from Guderian or some other german general or feldmarschall. Hitler must just listen own generals, not doing a amateur blunders near Moscow. He instinctively understood he was in the same position, like Napoleon in 1812 in Russia, but he didnt knowed what he must doing. He never studied in millitary academy. He was just corporal with Iron Cross and he knowed be only a brave man in action. But, this wasnt inaf for that complicated situation. Guderian and Heinrici were the only two mans who understood situation and they knowed what must do. But, it was too late for that, because Hitler didnt wanted listen a reason and experience generals. Pitty, what human stupidity can do!
What cold? It looks like a summer
Zhukov what a hero
Would Stalin stay and die in Moscow or flee
Flee! 100%! Even before Germans reached Moscow, the Dača ( Stalin villa with bunker ) was ready near Kubishev. I think that is 400 km from Moscow. So, when soviet army isolated Berlin in April, 1945, Hitler didnt wanted flee in Alpes, like Berchtesgaden or Argentina. But, Stalin didnt got that problems. And that is one of the reasons why Stalin was winner of ww2. No Hitler!
@@DaliborPerkovic-sw8mh bro Stalin stayed in Moscow while Germans were trying to take it also Stalin told his troops not one step back in Stalingrad he troops followed meanwhile Hitler tells his troops defend Berlin and his troops flee to the West
@@JDDC-tq7qm All you said is a true. But, Stalin know, in the winter 1941/42 , that Germans didnt got inaf force to take Moscow. And there was good old and artic russian winter, and Wehrmacht gots just summer clouthing. PS: Reallity is that Stalin never flee Moscow. Plan was open, like B solution, but was never needed. And when I said that Stalin flee from Moscow 100% if that was neccessery, I was thinking that Stalin was a practical man, not like Hitler. Because, If Moscow really fall in september or october, 1941, that not mean the end of the german-soviet war. The same is, in alternative option, with Hitler. If he flee from Berlin to Austria ( Berchtesgaden ) at the end of april, 1945, the war will continuing. Proof can be Napoleon case. He was taking Moscow in october, 1812, but russian car said big NO to the peace. So, Napoleon was in trouble. Any way, if you read my comments on this channel, you will see that I think Barbarossa was a Hitler madness and one of the greatest blunders of ww2. But, it happened and it was tragic for both sides, russian ( soviet ) and german people. Dalibor!
F
Guderian had great success up to the battle for Moscow ,after that he was at best an average General ,
Yes! He was one of the best of the bests. Like von Manstein, Model, Rommel, Heinrici, Kluge, Kleist, von Bock, ect. Germany in that time got about 300 generals and all were the top of the world. But, was one problem - Wiena maler or if you want czech corporal with Iron Cross, first class for bravery. Hitler wasnt millitary smart man. But Guderian was a genious. If Guderian was born in the end of 18th century in France, he will be one of the best Napoleon Marschalls. Like Davoult.
@@DaliborPerkovic-sw8mh ,What happened in the battles of ; Moscow .Stalingrad . Kursk , Crimea . Bagration , and finally Berlin . were the great German generals hiding some place ? .
@@stironeceno Be specific, my friend, who is responsabile for german defeats in ww2. For example, Berlin and Stalingrad. Hitler or feldmarschalls, who were doing bad job? Please, answer me and tell me your opinion.
@@DaliborPerkovic-sw8mh The German Generals in the fields didn't do anything special to save the situation .And that goes for all of them . The only one I give credit was Von Maistein at the battle of Karkov other than that ,not much else .10 -4 over and out .
@@stironeceno I tried all my life find the true about ww2 and what was going bad in the war, for Germans and Axis powers. Winners of ww2 tell us in history books that Hitler was responsabile for german defeat. They say us that he was a millitary amateur and not genious. It is true or lie? What you say about that? And what you think about war against Great Britain, USSR and declared war against USA. Did they really Hitlers greatest blunders or not? Please, tell me your opinion.
If. you are able to read German or you know. somebody who can do for you and you would send me a postal address - then I would like to send to you a well researched book about traitors on the Operation Barbarossa- for free. Because I like your work and this book by a German historian would give some new points of view to you
in this battle 2.2 million Germans took on a 880.000 Russians.But unlike in Ukraine all of a suden Russians displayed high readines and were trained and armed whit new equipment 700 t34.s and 300 Kv2.z.
Germans Confused their early advances as success and little did they know that just as napoleon.
the trap will soon snap
Completely wrong. The Germans had about 1.9 million troops in Army Group Center, but only a small portion of these took part in the battle. We have no idea what the Soviet figures were, but certainly a lot higher than your 800k, since around 600k were encircled at Bryansk and Vyazma alone. Also, the Soviets had way more tanks than that. They lost over a thousand tanks in the first stage of the offensive alone. They got over 20 fresh, well trained and equipped divisions from the far east that went up against dilapidated, poorly supplied and worn out German advance units that didn't even have air cover.
Signs an alliance to invade Poland, then attacks his comrad in arms ? No honor among thieves ?
Incomplete documentation.!!! . The role of T34 tanks reversed the whole battle around Moscow. At that time Hitler suffered nervous collapse. Seeing the panzer tanks defeated and destroyed bt T34 was shocking news to Hitler.
Is hard to imagine that german lost because of lack of clothes. Who could have imagined this? The whole Europe couldn't provide winter clothes/uniforms for the soldiers. Shortage of wool? Sewing machines? Women to do the job? What the shit had happened? Or they didn't find the proper design/designer for the uniforms? And what is tragic they did the same mistake twice, the second year too. No more wool, fabric in the Reich? Probably 5% of Romania's production of wool was enough to dress all the wehrmacht in comfortable winter clothes. But that didn't happened
They didn’t lose because a lack of clothes. They never had a real chance of winning. They lacked clothing, tanks, planes, fuel, soldiers, trucks damn near everything. And the Soviets would have never given up and had more armies in reserve.
@@davidjackson2179 Winter destroyed half of the men and broke their morale. Is a fact. They went to war without winter clothes and enough fuel. That was High Command negligence. I guess Goering made some comment that german soldiers can fight in short trousers no problem. They took the lack of uniforms very lightly which was catastrophic in the development of the war. The only choice for the german army to win was to make clothes from hunted animals skins from the nearby forests and farms but they didn't. Just because they were too proud to put their iron crosses and medals on a dead sheep skin. So they stayed in the summer uniforms and died. They had the winter uniforms of all Europe's armies french, greece, dutch, norway, polish, czech, austrian etc. Too proud to wear them. Were't designed by Hugo Boss to be stylish enough and approved by the party. I guess the reason they lost the war esentially was that Hugo Boss took a vacation in that period and wasn't seen for 2 years.
What kind of cold is it in and around Moscow. It looks like a SUMMER to me.
If they had Rommel? Then Germany maybe? But so Germany lost the war because of Hiterl´s idiotic decisions!
⚓️🫡🪖🇷🇺
40% of the Soviet Army was Ukrainian.
Thank you, Germany, for making the greatest of sacrifices to defend Europe. Heroes RIP
Heinz Guderian was a very intelligent man and great general. Hero RIP
Yes and sadly was more inteligent man and greater general than Fuhrera. Why Fuhrera just not listen Guderian?! That is so sad and tragic for german people and all Europa.
@@DaliborPerkovic-sw8mh
Yes, it could have been so different. The magnificent Germans were well-trained, and the men were amazing fighters.
@@waynelittle646 Yes! And I go crazy, even today, when I saw how german Wehrmacht was lost the battles, like for Stalingrad, Kursk, Normandy, Ardennes forrest, Wiena, Budapest, Berlin. Even today, we in Europa, are stoned how that was happened.
@@DaliborPerkovic-sw8mh
It gets me so angry as it could have been different. We (the English) should have sided with the magnificent Germans, its depressing that we murdered our German brothers, knowing they were right. Hitler tried so many times to make peace with Great Britain. Here in England our towns and cities are becoming unrecognisable and our culture is disappearing
Delusional neo lost causer.
I’m pretty sure the modern US army couldn’t invade and defeat Russia in 3 weeks right now, who in their right mind would think they could do it in 1941?
Given Russia's terrible performance in Ukraine and losing a large chunk of their professional military, I think we could pull it off. The only thing that stops it is nukes.
@@MrBassmann15US couldn't. This is the very same misinformation that got the Germans overconfident after they saw how the Soviets performed against the Finns during the winter war. Russia adapts very very quickly, they always seem to fight very very wrong using tactics that make no sense until that wrong fighting turns to right fighting... this has always been the case with Russian army.
Any invasion by the west would fail and the pressure and losses by western countries would lead many individual governments to collapse. The adaptation of the Russians can be seen how different they are fighting now vs early in the war. Unknown to many, the entire Russian army structure has be reorganized from BTGs to regular division structures and brigades.
RIP heiliges Deutschland ❤
In another reality, I believe the German did win the battle of Moscow and finish off the communist. And the world would be so so much better. In that reality, the good guy finally won.
I think Nazis are some kind of animals. They are not human.
I miss the music
The thing is, taking Moscow would not of won the war. Hitlers decision to forgo an attack toward Moscow after taking Smolensk was really dumb. But Germany's only hope of winning, was to go on a total war footing in spring of 1941. Trying to win on the cheap was his big mistake.
