Hitler: Uncovering his Fatal Obsession | Part 1 | Barbarossa 1942 | Full Documentary

- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Episode 1 begins with a brief examination of the rationale of hatred projected by Hitler onto the Soviet-Slavic-Jewish world. Then it leaps forward, to see Hitler initiate an invasion of the USSR. In June 1941, 3.6 million Axis troops rumbled into the Soviet Union - the largest invasion force in history. They traversed the frontier as if it did not exist. The summer of 1941 resembled an armoured victory parade for Germans; soldiers cruising atop their tanks in shirtsleeves, enjoying the sun and seizing oceans of land as they went. Millions of Soviet soldiers and civilians were captured and deliberately starved, in a calculated programme to free up resources for Aryans. The mood in Berlin was sky-high and it was believed that the war could be completed in a matter of weeks or months. By October, Army Group Centre had reached the outskirts of Moscow. Yet they would tread no further. Because of a number of strategic mistakes made by Hitler himself, the Wehrmacht were left with an understrength force not quite capable of seizing Moscow, and desperately underprepared for the Winter. The rains set in; and then the snow; and then the ice. They faltered 18 miles from Red Square, occupying some of Moscow’s outlying tram stations. Moscow held firm, buying Stalin’s nation precious time to fire-up their war machine, ready to turn the tide in 1942. The release of this documentary series will mark the year WWII became the most catastrophic conflict in human history. From the 1920s a detestation of the Soviet Untermenschen had been a central part of Hitler’s ideology. A war with Soviet Russia was always a precondition for the success of his racial vision; for the flourishing of Aryan man. When Hitler did eventually invade Russia in 1941, it took the Soviets entirely by surprise - until this point, the two nations had been freely cooperating. What followed was a campaign of unparalleled barbarism, on a scale of destruction unmatched in history. The Red Army’s disastrous initial response would gradually be turned around through elemental spirit, enormous human sacrifice and strategic intuition. Some of the most famous battles in the history of warfare would pan out through this epochal struggle. Eventually, the Soviet ‘steamroller’ would turn things around, repelling the invaders, recapturing scarred, lost territory, and marching all the way to Berlin, where the Hammer and Sickle would fly from the Reichstag; the Untermensch now standing astride Hitler’s capital. The partition of Berlin would follow, setting the scene for the Cold War and 50 years of Communist domination in Eastern Europe.

Sorry but Hitler did not have the idea to go through the Arden it was Von Manstine
U was there ? U kno?
@@dorzy207so unless you personally been somewhere we don't know if anything happened or even existed? Ok by that logic slavery never happened because we was never been there before
@@satan899Right, what a dumb remark.
That's like old geezers KNOWING more about the moon landing because they were alive then. Not true.
I may not have been there , but I know that Manstein came up with the plan. All you people that think Hitler was anything but an empty shell are the ones who should have been there. You wouldn't have survived.
Absolutely correct. Anyone who has ever opened a book on World War II should know this.
Excellent, a new Ostfront video to fall asleep to…😴 bet I’m not the only one…..
I did fall asleep watching in the afternoon. I had to reload the page when I woke up to get closure.
Only if I already saw it
Groovy
He couldn’t care less about his son….
Stalin wanted to bring the communism to West Europe and encircle it military. His last demands 1940 in Berlin :
"Molotov stubbornly insisted on his demands: free hand in Finland and Romania, protectorate over Bulgaria, bases on the Bosporus. Hitler denied, even threatening bluntly that he would not tolerate a new war against Finland. Molotov specified this in this final meeting The Soviet Union had extensive interest in the Balkans - including Hungary, Yugoslavia and Greece; he wanted to know what Germany was planning to do with Poland, questioned Swedish neutrality and brought the Danish Straits into play. Stalin had announced his price of the Soviet - German pact."
" Under the impression produced by Molotov’s insistence on Soviet rights,Hitler had told Göring that he was confirmed in his decision to attack the Soviet Union .‘The decision over European hegemony will be made in the struggle against Russia." ( Hitler-Stalin Parallel Lives" A. Bullock)
Exactly. Only 5 percent of the posters on these videos even know about Molotov's November 1940 territorial demands.
Stalin-Molotov's demands meant nothing less than the cancellation of the German-Soviet friendship pact. Molotov even said directly that the Soviets regarded the 1939 pact as practically non-existent. This was a deliberate threat and disregard for Germany and its sphere of interest in Europe. This was the reason for Hitler's attack, which was pre-emptive, and not his alleged greed for "Lebensraum".
@@krohnhardt Yes you are right and not forget Stalin's communist World Revolution.
He didn't quite get away with it, but at least he enslaved all of Eastern Europe for over 40 years. If D Day had not been successful and the Western Allies had not arrived in Berlin in time, he would have taken over Western Europe too. Churchill had started securing the British Isles and had the plan "Operation Unthinkable " prepared. To attack Stalin in July 1945 with the US Army and a rearmed Wehrmacht.
The Eastern Front was just beyond imagination...just unlimited horror
that's been a fact for a long long time yet time n again even now land wars in Russia vs Russia is not gonna work
Temujin "genghis khan" was far worse, he did all using swords, the murders after the battles that is.
As is the war in Ukraine.
@@samuelj2408 30 mill dead?
Totally agree… lived in Germany too,that Siberian wind cuts thru you, the screaming cold I called it.
But the further East you go it gets far colder than the -28c I experienced.
They had it face on attacking Russia..
Words useless
@6:45 Misinformation: Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union did not "simultaneously" invade Poland. Germany attacked on September 1. Soviet forces didn't enter Poland until September 17th. By that date, most of western poland had been occupied by Nazi forces, and Warsaw was encircled.
Well Ty Mr Pedantic. The Russians already conspired with the Nazis to invade Poland. So for all intents it was simultaneous and if you were a Pole, then you’d feel like it was.
Correct
It was still under the non aggression pact . Soviets were implicated by their inaction alone which isolated Poland and helped facilitate the german invasion.
So it is not inaccurate to say they simultaneously invaded . Poland was isolated from day 1 50% because of the Soviets.
@@lukeskywalker3329 Words have meaning. Troops don't invade if they don't actually invade.
As for inaction, that's much better than, say, giving over 5 entire countries to the Nazis and fascists *before* September 1939, as the Western Allies did. (Ethiopia, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Spain, & Albania). Greatly empowered the Axis with gifts of entire countries.
Thank you bc that was bugging me
Great coverage on such a tough topic.
Do not underestimate the love of human beings for their homeland, rich or poor, strong or weak a home is very traded to anything else.
And Germans waged so called Der Vernichtungskrieg (War on Destruction) on the Eastern Front. This was absolutely no match for the war in the West. The French losing the war with Hitler lost their statehood, essentially, but there was never a perspective for their extermination as a nation. In the East Germans envisaged the death of thirty million Russians only at the first stage of occupation. With a perspective of totally substituting the Russian population by the German one in a period of roughly one hundred years. For Russians it was literally the war for survival.

The alliance between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies was an unnatural one. It was a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is worth noting how quickly it fell apart once Nazi Germany was defeated.
Do the British have exclusive rights on WW2 documentaries. UA-cam seems to think so.
I always asked myself that too! 😂
It's Sir Max Hastings...he wrote EVERY book!
Only if it's the European theater of operations not so much if it's the Pacific theater.
Please elaborate, I haven’t heard about this before
What you mean Russia has a winter? Nooo
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about Barbarossa operation part 1... Thank you 🙏(the war channel ) for sharing this magnificent documentary
As for Marshal Tukhachevskiy. Don't overestimate him as an capable army commander. Essentially, he was a lieutenant of WW1, who was captured as a POW in the beginning of the war and could escape only at the end of it. So he had practically no expirience of the Great War with its millions sized armies. All his expirience was with the Civil War but it was a very peculiar war. The Reds managed to mobilise up to 10 mln people into the Red Army, which was far far more than the Whites. But the trick was that they have at any given moment only armies the size of tens of thousands at most. Why? Because of incessant mass desertions. You can't install a real discipline in the civil war, it's impossible. So there were numerous cases when one and the same man was drafted several times in the Red Army and in the meantime he even managed to serve in this or that White Army! Add to that the fact that the Civil War was led with mainly small arms (even machine guns were in short supply) and light field artillery. No aircraft and tanks in single numbers. That wasn't the experience for the future big war
Please correct the typo in the title... It's driving me "obsessed."
😮
The T-34 production ramped up with all the USA steel. It was an incredible invention by the Soviets with the tilted armor. It astonished the Nazis when they encountered it.
Is this regular playback speed or is it in slow motion?
According to the main title, how can this part - 1 be covering 1942 and not 1941 first? is there a part - 0?
The Wehrmacht would have conquered Russia but they couldn't because Germany didn't give them methamphetamines like they did earlier in the war.
Molotov? Isn't there a cocktail named after him?
As for M-R pact, one hasn't to forget that it was signed only after many months' tripartite talks between USSR on one side and Britain and France, on the other these talks had been absolutely fruitless, first and foremost because western delegation had no authority for signing a biding agreement. The stance of the British delegation was even more harder: it had a specific instruction not to tell anything significant to the Soviet side. Maybe Stalin was paranoid, but he certainly felt scam and treachery.
You forget that Russia aided Hitler's Germany in Weapons R&D and Production circumventing the Treaty of Versailles for more than a decade prior to 1941.
Tyvm for that! I learned something, lol!
What are you trying to say, that if France, Britain and Russia all allied first, Hitler wouldn’t have invaded Russia?
What are you smoking?
@colder5465 The Brutish and French were unwilling to turn over Poland and Eastern Europe to Stalin's tender mercies.
@@dennisweidner288 Yet without the abilities to enforce, as today, look East. I can remember disagreeing about our navs and had to find chill until first light to prove East. It's strange knowing that you are the only one who's correct, dawn proved it.
16:35 Stalin's son Yakov wasn't captured in Smolensk he was captured in Vitebsk, Belarus. It's all there on the German propaganda leaflet.
Who Cares !! Bolshevik & VATNiK🤡
In the east Germany had more to deal with than Russia... US and British supplies came rushing into Russia
And tanks, planes, guns were being manufactured in the Urals by then
And Russia has a winter don’t you know.
First! And congrats to a great channel.
Very interesting Video But All the Historians omit one quite important fact about the Shiny Mechanised German Army Invading Russia in 1941 and that was only about 30 percent was Mechanised the rest or the other 70 percent was Horse Drawn so the Infantry and Artillery etc. All had to play catch up with the Mechanised Spearheads along with the supplies etc. and thus Negating Blitzkrieg into rather more like a Caterpillar with the slower parts always playing Catch up until its in Retreat!
Nazi Germany was simply unprepared for the war they found themselves in.
Stalin should've read Mein Kampf. He would never have signed a treaty with Hitler if he had
He had eh book with passage underlined he new war way hitler wiz on but fought he had more time
10 minutes of silence! What’s up with that?
Your title says 1942. The invasion occurred in the 1941! Whoever is interested in the war sees 1942 and says this is not worth watching.
Yeah, a YT Typo tragedy
Yes but the operation was still ongoing in 1942 and was for the vast majority of the time successful. From Sunday the 22nd of June 1941, until Thursday the 1st of January 1942.
It became Hitler’s obsession during 1942. Bc he wouldn’t let his armies retreat and regroup. He forced them to overextend their supply lines and have to face the winter unprepared.
Weren’t you listening?
Germans lost a lot in Smolensk including many of the veterans who had fought in France that the Generals came to the conclusion this is going to be a long war.
Hitler did not devise the plan to invade France himself. [19:00] That was an incredibly stupid comment. But he did select the plan devised by Manstein/Guderian'. That is true.
Superb documentary 👍
Operation Barbarossa was nothing to do with racial superiority or any other justification such as Liebensraum[living space]. This did not apply to the invasion of the Soviet Union, because by April 1941 the Reds had 170 divisions of soldiers just waiting at Europe's eastern front, ready to invade. Barbarossa was an attempt to destroy the threat of Bolshevism forever.. also it wasn't just Germany. It was a 6 nation attack : including the armies of Finland, Romania, Hungary, Italy[60,000], Croatia and 47,000 Spanish soldiers[the Republican side was sponsored by the Soviet union during the bloody Spanish civil war so even though Spain was neutral during World War 2, General Franco knew about the dangers of the communist Reds]... there were also 2 divisions of Belgian troops going into Russia... the Waffen SS were the ideological shock troops of Europe at this time and were the first truly multi-national European army..
It was originally drawn up by General Schlieffen in WWi but it was called off at the last second bc they didn’t have enough men. Von Manstine used Schlieffen’s plan in WWii but tweaked it a little by relying on surprise instead of man power.
I have no life….obviously 😂
Evil always overplays its hand.
Stalin was good?
He was a tiny bit less evil than Hitler.
Oy vey
The story that the majority of Hitler’s generals opposed Operation Barbarossa is a post war myth. In early 1941 the German General Staff thought it would not be too difficult to accomplish. Many of Hitler’s generals shared his contempt for the Slavs. They were also shared his anti semitism.

22:00
Oops 😮 🙊 my bad addie hitter
They never invaded simultaneously 😅
a successful ''OPERATiON TYPHOON 2.0 🙏❤
Joe Biden and Mayorkas have been able to do it to the USA, open borders bro ... 😢
I love my GERMAN🐕🦺Shepard more then my Wife
Europa - the last battle
Nazi propaganda fantasy. Historians literally laugh at it and anyone who falls for 21st century Nazi movies.
Too much emphasis on the winter…. the defeat was much sooner.
We’ve been lied to about hitler, Nazism and the little hat people
the chewish people
Yes, Hitler didn’t die in the Fuhrer bunker, they always get that bit wrong.
He and Eva Braun escaped to Argentina. Watch the documentary film Greywolf and Mark Felton videos Find the Fuhrer, if you don’t believe me.
Yeah you have Mx but not by who you think. You’ve been lied to by neonazis on UA-cam trying to whitewash the greatest war crimes and mass murder in history. And you believe them.
Indeed. More and more are seeing through the lies especially given that what Britain is now is a direct consequence of WW2.
