It really speaks to the dysfunctionality of the German Command structure, when the Chief of OKW constantly asks to be replaced by someone far more capable but was denied, simply for the reason that he was a pushover.
Comrade Joseph Stalin did a very good thing with the Russian Military 🎖️🪖 that he purges all the old fashioned czarist Generals of Russian Military for incompetence in the 1930's and due to this reason by the beginning of the Second World 🌎🌍 War, Russia 🇷🇺🪆 had brand new and young modern military generals and commanders with new ideas 💡 of how to conduct and manage the warfare in 21st century but on the other hand most of the German generals and commanders of the second World 🌎🌍 war era belongs from the old Aristocratic landlord classes of German society and most of them had old rotten pre first World war era mindset about military techniques and battlefield planning .
This Ultimately results in the Russian victory ✌️ over Germany in the second World war because Russian are led by Young Commanders without any baggage of elitism or landlordism behind their backs but Germans are led by old fashioned Prussian landlord military 🎖️🪖 Elites.
Adolf Hitler needed to purge the military 🎖️🪖 officers class of German landlords or German Elites during his tenure between 1933 and 1939 to allow for new younger Generals and commanders to take their role with fresh ideas 💡 and techniques.
Experience matters but in the modern warfare of constantly changing circumstances regarding terrain and every thing else , experience sometimes works with you or Works against you.
Yes it starts with Hitler
He may not have been executed if he had stepped down before Barbarossa.
Herman Balck needs a video all to himself. One of the best divisional commanders of the war.
Kitel is a little underated for instance he adviced that Germany not invade the Soviet union but instead focus on a Mediterranean strategy against Britian so that Germany could secure a peaceful southern front and the oil in the middle East as well as allow the Italian fleet access to the Atlantic
That seems like a great idea Germany would have more chances of winning the war if they solely focused on Britain
Great content. Keitel seems to have been a yes man in a horrible position. Ended up hanged at Nuremberg.
Curious about opinions on Guderian, Galland and Kleist.
Excellent work keep up the great work SIR.
This is the type of content I LOVE from this channel. You really can’t find this on any other channels. Outstanding job.
Yes ..(War Academy) channel opinions about those German Marshalls and general were correctly 👍🏻 explained and evaluated .thank you ( war academy) channel for sharing it.
Another great video. Thank you for making them, they are very informative and fun to watch.
Another great day today and I enjoy your videos as always! I will come up with a order of them and give it to you and see if you agree with it . I was fortunate enough to get to see and hear from veterans of both sides because my family was half German.
Fantastic video . Thank you I
Kesselring who was Rommel's boss for a good part of the war really didn't like him very much. This is interesting since Kesselring was quite brilliant and had a friendly demeanor as well.
Best UA-cam Channel thanks!!!!
Pretty much 100% accurate!!!
Good history Channel
In the early 90s i was working for one of his cousin's and one of his family friends and pilot's.
What was more important ,how did there troops think about them ??
If your men wil go to hell for you ho care what any body think about you ??
Nice story :)
If you're an officer but not a graduate of a U.S. military academy, the biases against you are real. Rommel wasn't a graduate of any such German equivalent. Very few of the 4000 German officers allowed after the Treaty of Versailles were not such graduates. His WW1 award of Prussia's highest medal, the Pour le Mérite, and his tactical skills, were his ticket. Others more educated, less valorous, less capable resented him. They were jealous.

If you ask everyone who would they follow to a real war, everyone would stand behind Rommel. Those who don't I really don't care about. 😂
Completely agree! Rommel was a brilliant soldiers General and a wonderful human being. He never lived to tell his side of things. So later people are slandering him. Personally I love this man!
All these brilliant field marshals & Generals were taking orders from a mad Lance Corporal Adolf Hitler..😂😅 who have no experience in military strategy & tactics... Hitler was very good at setting them at each others..
He enjoyed that .
The worst about Keitel was he willingly and conscientiously signed politically motivated orders related to Vernichtungskrieg in the USSR. First of all, the infamous order on Commissars which in fact exonerated any German soldier of any war crime and asserted the so-called special jurisdiction in the East. That wasn't an isolated act of excess or smth like that, that was a deliberate act contrary to all notions of the war. Other German Field Marshals simply followed it - some willingly and happily, some stated after the war that they weren't happy with it (sincerely or not - that's another matter). But Keitel was the man in high command who explicitly signed all this Hitler's madness on paper.
Did anyone else see a video yesterday about Gotthard Heinrici. I cant seem to find it now
Will you translate Günther Tlotzek"s interview from the Spanish channel?
Thank you bro next video we need what german generals said about GUDERIAN.
All of this is not surprising considering that some of the German high command were hold overs from traditional aristocratic families and some were not. Interesting video.
Rommel was a loose cannon that always wanted to attack, attack, attack. However he was brilliant in that. The "Where Rommel is, the Front is" (WW1) or the "Ghost Division" (1940 into France, where he moved so fast his own commanders didn't know where he was) is very brilliant, but he must be placed into a position where exactly that is required off him. Nothing else. Give him a command, give him the logistics, give him a target. For the rest you let him loose. That's the way how Rommel should have been handled. Requires a special HR glove to be handled.
Manstein, Rommel, Model, Ruinstead. I will come up with my order must think some 😊😅

Very interesting video.
About the pictures, sometimes a good back and white is much better than cheap colorization... 3:37 4:23 look at the color of the uniforms, I didn"t know germans generals wear blue coats, it's almost like RAF blue uniforms. At 1:52 the IA just failed to colorize... look at the face of Manstein, he almost looks like a minor with such dark skin... and the contrast with his hand is just ridiculous... And the colar insigna is supposed to be red in the 3 exemples...
6:01 Here the IA just refused to work, random use of colors, YOLO... How a black coat could have bene colorized in such various tones of brown and even green ? Hats were brown for german generals ?
7:24 Again horible horrifying colorization... look at Keitel's hand... The guy who made it and validated it has been payed ? Seriously, he should pay back...
The problem is that today it's hard to find original well looking black and white picture, the publishers now select colorized pictures to please the spectators allergics to black and white, despite the horrible quality of the colorization. (General statement, not in particular for this channel)
Show me a General from any army that didn't have a massive ego.
Rommel drove Kesselring crazy! He ignored logistical considerations.
Paulus was more critical of v. Manstein than any other general after Stalingrad.
Edit your message to clean up the v. before Paulus, the no aristocrat. Your opinion about history can't be credible with such basic error.
Paulus. The weak q.c. If Pauline is your hero.... wait, she's no one's hero.
Manstein faced an impossible task in Stalingrad debacle.
@@colder5465 Paulus was furious with the self-glorification fiction v Manstein wrote in his memoires.
@@BFVK Because of your rude tone, I will avoid gratitude for your correction.
Von manstien was a good guy i think
Grand Marshals? Do you mean “Field Marshals”?
Y
👍👍👍
RIP heiliges Deutschland ❤
No, I don't think all those opinions regarding different field marshals are correct.
- Rommel was actually fit to lead large formations but the reality on the front dictated that he had to use his entire divisions as one single striking unit. Rommel understood better than even the likes of Von Manstein that by 1944 the German way of war the "Bewegungskriegs" had come undone and a new way of thinking was desperately needed. This is why he urged Hitler to move those Panzer divisions as close as possible to the cost of France. He fought in Africa against the Allies and witnessed how difficult it is to find while the enemy has complete control of the skies let alone being heavily outgunned and outnumbered on the battlefield. So, in that regard, I don't accept the criticism that Rommel received from Field Marshals who served entirely on the eastern front notice how Von Kluge sympathized with Rommel and stopped criticizing him even admiring him after he was transferred to the Western Front and witnessed the unequal battle that occurred there.
-As for Manstein, personalities like Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels aren't correct about their view of Manstein. He was loyal to the regime and a Nazi in some senses. He carried out Hitler's brutal orders on the Eastern front and completely ignored all the reports that his staff members were giving him regarding the Einsatzgruppen brutalities behind the lines. In addition to that, after he was dismissed from Command in 1944 he sent a scout force to look for a property in the Soviet Union where he could settle there, that makes me on the same page as Hitler when it comes to the Lebensraum. Those three names above criticized him because they envied him.
-Model, it's hard to say because most of it is true.
-Von Rundstedt, Rommel's opinion of him was spot on. Rundstedt slept in France for 3 whole years unaware of how the Allies have evolved their tactics and coordination. He thought that those were the same enemies he faced in France in 1940. Rundstedt is 90% responsible for the disaster in Normandy as he strongly resisted Rommel's idea of moving the Panzer divisions as close as possible to the beaches thus losing this campaign in the manner of which it did. Had Rundstedt supported Rommel's strategy before Hitler, D-day- Operation Overlord would've ended in a failure, and no less than 100,000 British and US soldiers would've been captured or killed, WW2 would continue to rage into 1946 with the possibility of Germany getting nuked. As for Guderian opinion of Rundstedt being the best general Germany had in the last months in the war, I sharply disagree with his assessment, Gotthard Heinrici was the best one in the final months and certainly not a general with cognitive decline.
-As for Wilhelm Keitel I believe his own opinion on those generals criticizing him is spot on. They needed a scapegoat and Keitel was the one. They knew the general to replace him will be mentally destroyed by the situation on the front just as Keitel was. I don't agree with most of their opinions on him being a yes-man since he really never had a real choice to oppose Hitler. But yes he was too soft with Hitler and should've argued more in favor of his generals rather than stand with Hitler's mad orders to stand fast and fight for every inch of ground.
I just do not agree with you that Germany will be nuked, if war prolong to 1946. Because, Germany start nuclear program 2 years before USA nuclear program. Germany also was doing first nuclear test 4 months before USA and got atomic bomb in late April and early May, 1945. But, it was never used, because Germany was not any more in possibility to nuked USA, because war finished on 8th of May, 1945. In that time, American scientists were nowhere about nuclear progress. Today, many people think that Oppenheimer was crucial for first atomic bomb. The real person who made first atomic bomb was Otto Hahn and without German scientists will be never American Nuclear bomb in July, 1945. PS: After ww2, Americans were stealing a lots of German patents and innovations and programs ( space and rocket programs ). And how I know all that? Winners write history books and tell us a lots of post-war lies. So, carefully with alternative history of ww2. The Allies still did not win that war in that paralleled universe.
So you telling me the western front was more difficult than the Eastern front
Spot on!
@@navrajgrewal12 OK! Thank you for that. But, I am not sure about what theme you talking about?! Please, be more specific about your message. Thanks!
@@JDDC-tq7qmYes it was. The Allied outnummbered Rommel at least 4:1 ratio plus air supremacy. The Soviets outnummbered the Germans by a lot more but they never managed to gain even an air superiority. In addition, the Allied commanders of most ranks were superior than their Soviet counterparts.
The Germans had the best soldiers, the best weapons, the best equipment but their military leadership had flaws and made too many mistakes on the Eastern Front. They should have concentrated on the Soviets and wiped them out first. They would have won the damn war outright. The German soldier was fierce and better trained. They were efficient killing and fighting men! The Germans simply ran out of resources, supplies, food, fuel and viable Winter clothing for the harsh Winter weather conditions. They also were faced with fighting a War on three fronts eventually. The Russians were inferior soldiers just like what is happening in Ukraine today. NATO Forces could wipe them out. Putin will have to use Nuclear and biological, chemical weapons to win. But, Win what ? The World will use Nuclear weapons against him, France, U. S.A. Great Britian and it will possibly End the World if China joins in support of Russia. Japan must develop their own Nuclear capabilities to ensure their defenses. South Korean soldiers are fierce and are now becoming friends with the Japanese. China is in big trouble. The two will destroy China and its people by the thousands and Taiwan will assist them. China is starting to crack already they are selling off U.S. Treasury bonds to bolster their Yuan right now because they are losing value to the U.S.Dollar. China is economically in serious debt in the Real Estate sector in its own country. Unemployment is rising too, inflation is crushing them and there are already food shortages. China will crumble. Starve them to death! Sell them no rice or grain, meats. They will fall soon.
Heroes
Glory to Germany

Whoa😂
Little Wwayne.
Germany are losers start 2 world wars and lose badly especially in Russia 😂😂😂
Your programs are great but you need some help with your pronounciation of foreign names. They are so bad they're almost comical. Run your narrations by someone who speaks German.
I think it's an ai.
It's a robot voice.
