I've heard this whole series before. I think it was WW2 stories before they shut down. Now they reopened that channel but they cleaned out their back catalogue. If you like stories about tanks being stuck in the mud then this episode is for you.😊
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography picture 📷depicting tank commander & subordinate discussing their next military operations adventure.😉sounds like there were some inexperienced officers handing out questionable orders. Due to the lack of competent/experienced replacement officers. As more & more military operations personnel were killed or taken prisoners. ( North Africa & Stalingrad ) Drained the reserve pool by a substantial amount.
Me too have the same question...Every time, these Germans tell that they have distroyed so many Russian men and machinery ,but according to history, Russians have won the war and captured Berlin.
Well, certainly in terms of training and tactics and arguably equipment, at least in earlier years, they were technically the better army. However the downfall was war on 3 fronts, lack of fuel and an enemy with seemingly impossible manpower and industrial reserves. Actually if you think about it, it's quite amazing they lasted as long as they did. Maybe because they were ideologically strong vs their enemies.
It didn't come down to the quality of the respective troops. The Russians had many more men, and the willingness to lose them in huge numbers. Plus they had vast areas of land, way beyond the reach of German bombers, which they used as a base for mass production of tanks, artillery, aircraft and other materiel. The quality was debatable, but the quantity was near-decisive. Other factors were significant amounts of military supplies in the early days from the British and Americans (the Murmansk convoys) and a degree of access to oil from domestic and Persian resources that the squareheads could not match.
What good are soldiers without food, ammunition, fuel, rest, replacements, and weapons? Add all that to an army led by an incompetent leader and you have a recipe for defeat.
Imagine freezing hands , that feeling. Then imagine your knuckle getting blown off whilst holding your rifle . The pain is unthinkable. Then adpt that to any horrific damage to humsn body. German _- not the natzi. But the germans for fought for there home. Suffered greatly as soldiers. Is just crazy how ppl dont know shir about the war rhar won them there easy way of Life
That sinking feeling as your tanks are swallowed by mud and your prospects of stopping the Russians sink even faster.

If these guys were so good, why did they lose? Just so much superiority over the Russians but id I recall history properly, the Russians took Berlin

One could argue Russians would lose without the Lend-lease
