It's worth reading the story of the first performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's 7th ('Leningrad') Symphony in Leningrad on 9 August 1942. Fewer than half of the Leningrad Radio Orchestra's performers were available, the rest having died or enlisted. The orchestra's numbers were boosted by military musicians, but all of the performers were starving. To ensure the Germans didn't bombard the theatre during the performance, the Soviets launched an attack to silence their guns, surely the only occasion a military offensive has been undertaken in support of a concert. The Soviets then broadcast the concert over loudspeakers to the defending soldiers. So when you next watch the video, see if you can pause it around 9 August 1942 and think about what happened that day.

The sudden drop of Army Group North was due to Lack of reinforcements and troops in other parts of the eastern front. It takes minimum 3 month to train soldiers before taking the time to organize and getting to the frontline. The eastern front was always on the move and troops were constantly needed. so 750k dropping to 450k, means that almost half of Army Group norths strength was sent to other parts of the front, to plug gabs in the front or reinforce critical sectors. Edit 9/5 : I don't have direct sources on whether it is the actual main course for the sudden drop in manpower. The Germans lost a lot of troops in the north, but they were the least to suffer compared to the center and south. I still believe however that it is the case. At the same time Army Group north was never really prioritized for reinforcement and especially not in the late stages of the German-Soviet War, if they ever were reinforced by that time.
My grandmother survived the blockade by escaping through the frozen lake, till this day she rarely told me about her experience, which is fine for me since I don't want to revive anything..
Well, WWI was just a war of the Tsar and other Kings, and WWII was a war of extermination os Slavic and Soviet people in general. It was a known fact that Germans are coming not only to gain territories, but also to kill as many Soviet people as possible. The reason we fought is practically the same as the reason Nazi's were fighting till the very end.
One minute is too less for such tremendous Battle. My native county is where south frontline used to be. There was left just 10% buildings here. The Famine 1941-42 killed many my relatives but my great-grandfather rested alive.

@Python Dre that might be true. But the nazis killed a lot of jews for no reason at all. The Jewish population in Poland was reduced from 3,4 million before WW2 to 0,4 million.
I come from Russia. The Holodomor plan and the siege of Leningrad was one of the most brutal methods of suppression of the Soviet population by the Nazis. People ate tree bark, rats, cats. There was even cannibalism. There was no central heating, and the winter of 1941 was very cold: temperatures dropped to -40. In addition, there was high humidity in Leningrad, which made the frosts even worse. People turned into walking skeletons. As a result, a million people died of cold and hunger. There were also bombings, but mostly people died for the reasons described above. Some people managed to be evacuated, but they were so exhausted (dystrophy) that they died of exhaustion already near Leningrad. It is said that Mannerheim did not attack Leningrad, thanks to which the losses were less than if the Finnish army had thrown all its forces to suppress Leningrad. I don't know if this is true, opinions differ. In my country, May 9 is celebrated as a holiday. In our country it is "victory day". But in my humble opinion, it should be a day of mourning. We have lost 26 million people in this war. What kind of holiday is that? Many veterans in my country say that Russian/Soviet war movies are fake and things were different in the war. They don't watch such propaganda movies.
Это праздник, земляк, но праздник не счастья, а скорби. Достаточно вспомнить, как праздновали День Победы в 1945 во Франции, Британии, Штатах и тд. Все радовались, смеялись. Но из Союза в День Победы 45-ого, никто не смеялся. Вот почему я считаю, что советы нанесли Алику основное поражение и сделали 90% всей работы. С прошедшим Днём Победы, товарищ!
@@Liechtenstein_Government отсутствие радости у наших объясняется тем, что за годы войны психика диссоциируется (дистанцируется) от реальности, чтобы не было так больно осознавать, что ты потерял кучу своих боевых товарищей, тем, что потерял родных и близких.

Не знаю в каком месте была там блокада, если учесть что ладожское озеро было открыто и по нему транспортировали на баржах такую продукцию из Ленинграда как "Паровоз" (~130 тонн). Я уже молчу про 100ни тон сырья завозившиеся, из которых делали разного вида продукции для фронта. Про ром бабы и персики для партийной номенклатуры я и говорить не хочу. Как я предполагаю, Сталин хотел отдать немцам в случае взятия города голодную массу. Но немцы знали по Киеву, что город может быть взорван (основная его инфраструктура), что приведет к огромным гуманитарным проблемам. После того как немцы стали отступать, начали и поставлять еду и другую гум помощь в Ленинград. Так что тут вопрос, кто жестоко подавлял советский народ.
Isoroku Yamamoto hated the Triple Alliance of Japan, Germany, and Italy. Nazi Germany declared war on the Soviet Union without telling its allies, was defeated, and surrendered before Japan. From the Japanese side, this is a shame. 🇩🇪🤝🇯🇵
35% of the Finnish casualties in the Continuation War were in the first 4 months of the war (out of 38 months the war lasted). Which is part of the reason why Mannerheim ordered the Finnish army to half the offensive on the 5th of November 1941. P.S.

@@PeliSotilasMannerheims order to halt the offensive was not due to casualties increasing towards the end as they were decreasing after the breakthrough battles. The reason for the short term may have had something to do with the winter of 1941-42, in conditions of which no further exploitation of previous victories would have been easy in White Karelia. The area was not undefended and the Soviets even tried to counter attack from there, although without success. This was even colder winter than that of 1939-40. All objectives had been reached already, in Olonets Isthmus and Karelian Isthmus, which was recaptured and the frontline there slightly adjusted for better forward positions. Finland had done its job in Karelia it was thought, since Finnish territory was again in Finnish hands with quite a bit extra.
@@supa3ek What this map does not show is the pre-war border. In 1939 Soviets attacked Finland and pushed the border back some 100km, but here Finland took the and back and stayed at the pre-war border and never proceeded towards the city. Finland got back what was theirs and that was it.
Соотношение наличных сил выглядит очень реалистично . Потери РККА завышены просто чудовищно ! На сегодняшний день комплексная "средняя" цифра -- порядка миллиона . Потери Вермахта тоже завышены довольно существенно . Трагедия ( для нас , конечно ) ленинградского участка фронта в том что учитывая ситуацию ( огромный город умирал в блокаде ) беспрерывно в топку войны бросались все новые и новые недостаточно обученные снабженные -- да что там говорить -- даже недостаточно "накормленные" части . А театр военных действий очень располагал не к наступлению а к обороне . И тем не менее даже в таких условиях 18 января 1943 года Блокада была прорвана без тотального превосходства в людях и технике ( в отличии , например от операции "Багратион" или тем более от Висло Одерской или Берлинской операций ). А через год окончательно снята . С приветом из Питера и мира всем ( ! )
When Leningrad was sieged by the Germans the only access to the city was through a lake, the Russians sent food and ammunition when the lake froze, but only to their soldiers inside the city, the Germans bombed the lake but it would quickly freezed again in -20 F temperatures. To bury people in Leningrad they used dynamite to blast holes in the frozen ground.
I'm from Finland. Finnish leaders refused to attack and try to invade Leningrad because they knew if we did, that would be something Soviets would never forget and forgive. Instead of peace negotiatons they would retaliate and invade all Finland. Smart choice from Finns back then.
@@JackllewellynnExcept Finns halted and started building defenses with no further intentions for offensive actions towards Leningrad. The fighting on the Karelian isthmus was static trench warfare with little happening until the Red Army offensive in 1944. Similar trench war became common in other areas Finland expanded into and the Soviets noticed this, leading to them redirecting soldiers to fight Germans rather than stationary Finnish trench lines. The front became so quiet at one point that Finnish troops briefly outnumbered Soviet ones.
@@Jackllewellynn Finns never wanted to proceed towards the city. Finns took back the land Soviets stole one year earlier and never went beyond pre-war border towards Leningrad. Finns even allowed civiilians to access Lake Ladoga so only maintenance route and fishing was possible.
Я мягко говоря охренел, когда увидел, сколько комментариев под этим видео оскорблений в адрес Русских и Красной Армии. Оскорбляют их жалкие люди, которые не понимают, какой подвиг совершили люди. Ведь они гораздо слабее их, как морально, так и физически. Я не уверен, что у них хватило бы мужества на такой подвиг, который сделали они. К слову, почему-то Русских всегда выделяют из массы. Смысл оскорблять Россиян, если там также участвовала предки зажравшихся балтов? Нелюди, мусор, никак больше не описать тех, кто обесценивает и преуменьшает действия тех, кто нанёс основное поражение Алику. Тех, кто догнал их до Берлина и сделал буквально 90% всей работы. Слава Красной Армии! Ура!
не обращай внимание на этих шутов. они в душе ненавидят и боятся русских, т.к. мы угроза их паразитарной системе. поэтому при любой возможности стараются обгадить, выставить в неприглядном свете и напридумывать всяких мифов. например я слышал такую идею, что Сталин был только рад, что немцы сжигали деревни вместе с жителями, потому что это поднимало патриотизм. то есть получается, что это уже Сталин был главный злодей, а вовсе не немцы
It's also obvious that if Stalin hadn't first invaded Finland in 1939 (and failed), Finns would never have had the motivation to try to recover the lost areas.
Definitely. And had Finland kept pushing instead of halting at the former Finnish border, it would've been a lot harder for the USSR to defend Leningrad.
@@viljanov It's also obvious that if the Finns accepted Stalin's ultimatum which demanded less lands from the Finnish than what the Soviets eventually ended up annexing, the Finnish wouldn't have needed to express a needs for wanting more territories in the east for a "Greater Finland" and helping starve an entire city
@@Yo-ps2pf Not really, that was just the "official" explanation. The negotiated area cedings before the Winter war were only designed to make the future invasion easier, by bypassing the strategically important Mannerheim line. Exactly this way Stalin operated also in the Baltics, by first demanding military bases, and using them later to overtake the whole country. In negotiations Stalin had demanded to place tanks in Hanko, which was ostensibly supposed to guard against a German naval invasion. Tanks in Hanko - for what purpose?? Furthermore, immediately after the attack, Stalin appointed the Terijoki puppet government, which was supposed to rule the whole future Finnish Soviet republic. And every captured Soviet POW said they had orders from Stavka to advance all the way to Helsinki. So it's pretty clear Stalin was going for full occupation and annexation, as Finland was part of Soviet "sphere of influence" according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
@@viljanov The Finnish Democratic Republic was only recognised by the Soviet Union and nominally operated in Soviet-occupied areas of Finnish Karelia from the de facto capital of Terijoki. The Finnish Democratic Republic was portrayed by the Soviet Union as the official socialist government of Finland capable of restoring peace, but lost favor as the Soviets sought rapprochement with the Finnish Government. The Finnish Democratic Republic was dissolved and merged into the Karelo-Finnish SSR upon the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty. "The negotiated area cedings before the Winter war were only designed to make the future invasion easier" What is this bullcrap? you are aware that the soviets had full capability of doing a full-conquest of Finland in 1945? Instead, Stalin decided to stupidly forgive them in exchange for a small piece of land, this literally proves that the Soviets didn't want to entirely conquer the Finnish.. they didn't need to AT ALL Finns were to lease the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviets for 30 years and to permit the Soviets to establish a military base there. In exchange, the Soviets would cede Repola and Porajärvi from Eastern Karelia, an area twice as large as the territory demanded from the Finns Although the Soviets lost more than the Finnish, the Finnish literally lost their second biggest city, their capital was much closer to the USSR, the USSR was able to take the Finnish if they wanted to in 1945, Stalin chose not to, and then the Finnish are like "WOOOHOOO WE FOUGHT AND WON!!!!!!"! yet their entire government was replaced (by the USSR, yet the government was not socialist!) "Finland was part of Soviet "sphere of influence" according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact." Wrong. the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was signed in 1939.. In April 1938, a junior diplomatic official, Boris Yartsev, contacted Finnish Foreign Minister Rudolf Holsti and Prime Minister Aimo Cajander and stated that the Soviets did not trust Germany and that war was considered to be possible between the two countries in which Germany might use Finland as a base for operations against the Soviet Union. The Red Army would not wait passively behind the border but would rather "advance to meet the enemy". If Finland fought against Germany, the Soviet Union would offer all possible economic and military assistance. The Soviets would also accept the fortification of Åland islands but demanded "positive guarantees" on Finland's position

Thanks to new documents and research by German historians, in 2022 the blockade of Leningrad was considered an act of genocide. The city was not planned to be stormed; its inhabitants were supposed to die of hunger. During the 900 days of the siege, almost 1 million people died, but the city survived. An unprecedented case in history.
Point of Siege is to force defenders to lay down their weapons. If the defenders dont do that and they do not have enough good then What do you think will happen? Maybe Russians should evacuate the city before it was under siege? Like this was the first or last time when civil population suffers when dictatorships clash.
@@MietoK You are writing nonsense, firstly there was an evacuation before and after, hundreds of thousands of people were taken out, but this is a huge city. And the German offensive developed rapidly on a huge front.The attacking side must invite the besieged to surrender. This is how it is accepted: you are surrounded, lay down your arms, surrender, we guarantee your life. Or hunger strikes. During the storming of Berlin, 100 thousand Soviet soldiers died. History seemed to look at the fact that if the USSR surrounded Berlin, it would not offer any conditions and would simply wait a couple of years until all the Berliners died of hunger. They just had to evacuate, it was their own fault.

Mostly are just civilian casualties. The USSR has lost around 30 mil people in WW2 yet only just under 10 mil. were soldiers. but around 20 mil civilians. A true genocide that has not been spoken about and just swept under the rug. They try to blame Stalin and even trying to paint him worse than Hitler in the western society and media, yet almost all of it is lies.
Only for what Germans committed in Leningrad, Soviet Army had a full moral rights to terminate Germany! And make it never existed any more. But they did not it. Moreover, Germans allow themselve to blame Soviet
the siege of leningrad is not an example of soviet endurance, but rather an example of soviet command being willing to sacrifice millions of civilians to avoid a defeat.
Something that was well documented was how the Finn’s took care of this situation . Adolf hitler had kept on urging mannerheim to send more divisions to the less fortified front on Stalingrad but instead he decided to choose humanity and further push into areas like Karelia.

Because they were held out at the top by Murmansk city and the right side of the peninsula. That was the priority for them. Storming the city of St. Petersburg would not give them much , yet denying Murmansk and it's strategical supply point from the allies and an important fortpost for the northern advancements would seal the fate of St. Petersburg and break the Russian front from the north and would alleviate so much pressure from other fronts. The city of Murmansk was the second most bombed city in the war after Stalingrad. As that was one of the most important strategic points. Also fun etymological fact about the city , Murmansk is a northern Slavic (Baltic Slavs) variation of the pronunciation of Normans / Nordmans, it could have been the same tribe or perhaps it's offspring tribe. The city itself is new, but that specific word has been traced to more than a thousand years ago, of calling Normans or some of the Normans as Murmans.
Finland got what they wanted. That was the pre-war border of 1939, and Finland just took back the land Soviets took one year earlier. Finland had no interest to proceed into Leningrad, and Finns just stopped at the border, over 30km from the city. Even Hitler demanded Finns to attack, but Mannerheim basically told Hitler to go f**k himself.

Because of multiple deliberate Russian atrocities towards civilians in Chechnya, Syria and Ukraine, I have very little sympathy left for the victims in Leningrad. Russians are the New Nazis on the Block.
respect for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, but it seems that the Soviets almost always lost more troops during the battle, Maybe because the quality of their troops and strategy was lower, and it needed to be improved to make it more effective and less casualties.
Well, the President of Finland personally told the ambassador that Leningrad should be wiped off the face of the earth. The Finns played this game very carefully, although this did not prevent raids and shelling on Soviet territory. Mannerheim was mostly against this advancement. Well, Mannerheim himself was originally from Leningrad. He served there under the Emperor and achieved great heights. His wife was Russian and the city was important to him. But here too, the big losses of the Finns played a big role. If the Germans had managed to capture the city, the Finns would have united and gone on to Moscow.

The sudden drop of Army Group North was due to Lack of reinforcements and troops in other parts of the eastern front. It takes minimum 3 month to train soldiers before taking the time to organize and getting to the frontline. The eastern front was always on the move and troops were constantly needed. so 750k dropping to 450k, means that almost half of Army Group norths strength was sent to other parts of the front, to plug gabs in the front or reinforce critical sectors.
Edit 9/5 : I don't have direct sources on whether it is the actual main course for the sudden drop in manpower. The Germans lost a lot of troops in the north, but they were the least to suffer compared to the center and south. I still believe however that it is the case.

I come from Russia. The Holodomor plan and the siege of Leningrad was one of the most brutal methods of suppression of the Soviet population by the Nazis. People ate tree bark, rats, cats. There was even cannibalism. There was no central heating, and the winter of 1941 was very cold: temperatures dropped to -40. In addition, there was high humidity in Leningrad, which made the frosts even worse.
People turned into walking skeletons. As a result, a million people died of cold and hunger. There were also bombings, but mostly people died for the reasons described above. Some people managed to be evacuated, but they were so exhausted (dystrophy) that they died of exhaustion already near Leningrad.
It is said that Mannerheim did not attack Leningrad, thanks to which the losses were less than if the Finnish army had thrown all its forces to suppress Leningrad. I don't know if this is true, opinions differ.
In my country, May 9 is celebrated as a holiday. In our country it is "victory day". But in my humble opinion, it should be a day of mourning. We have lost 26 million people in this war. What kind of holiday is that? Many veterans in my country say that Russian/Soviet war movies are fake and things were different in the war. They don't watch such propaganda movies.
Это праздник, земляк, но праздник не счастья, а скорби. Достаточно вспомнить, как праздновали День Победы в 1945 во Франции, Британии, Штатах и тд. Все радовались, смеялись. Но из Союза в День Победы 45-ого, никто не смеялся. Вот почему я считаю, что советы нанесли Алику основное поражение и сделали 90% всей работы. С прошедшим Днём Победы, товарищ!
@@Liechtenstein_Government отсутствие радости у наших объясняется тем, что за годы войны психика диссоциируется (дистанцируется) от реальности, чтобы не было так больно осознавать, что ты потерял кучу своих боевых товарищей, тем, что потерял родных и близких. Человеку становится на всё плевать, он как робот, поэтому и не удивляется ничему. Я читал просто статьи на эту тему, а также "сказать жизни да", где радость атрофируется как таковая.

Не знаю в каком месте была там блокада, если учесть что ладожское озеро было открыто и по нему транспортировали на баржах такую продукцию из Ленинграда как "Паровоз" (~130 тонн). Я уже молчу про 100ни тон сырья завозившиеся, из которых делали разного вида продукции для фронта. Про ром бабы и персики для партийной номенклатуры я и говорить не хочу.
Как я предполагаю, Сталин хотел отдать немцам в случае взятия города голодную массу. Но немцы знали по Киеву, что город может быть взорван (основная его инфраструктура), что приведет к огромным гуманитарным проблемам. После того как немцы стали отступать, начали и поставлять еду и другую гум помощь в Ленинград.
Так что тут вопрос, кто жестоко подавлял советский народ.
Isoroku Yamamoto hated the Triple Alliance of Japan, Germany, and Italy. Nazi Germany declared war on the Soviet Union without telling its allies, was defeated, and surrendered before Japan. From the Japanese side, this is a shame. 🇩🇪🤝🇯🇵
On the Finnish front the casualties were fairly low: 60,000 Finns died in the continuation war altogether.
35% of the Finnish casualties in the Continuation War were in the first 4 months of the war (out of 38 months the war lasted). Which is part of the reason why Mannerheim ordered the Finnish army to half the offensive on the 5th of November 1941.

@@PeliSotilasMannerheims order to halt the offensive was not due to casualties increasing towards the end as they were decreasing after the breakthrough battles.
The reason for the short term may have had something to do with the winter of 1941-42, in conditions of which no further exploitation of previous victories would have been easy in White Karelia. The area was not undefended and the Soviets even tried to counter attack from there, although without success. This was even colder winter than that of 1939-40. All objectives had been reached already, in Olonets Isthmus and Karelian Isthmus, which was recaptured and the frontline there slightly adjusted for better forward positions. Finland had done its job in Karelia it was thought, since Finnish territory was again in Finnish hands with quite a bit extra.
Because the fins didnt do shit but defend from the russians who were also defending !!!
@@supa3ek What this map does not show is the pre-war border. In 1939 Soviets attacked Finland and pushed the border back some 100km, but here Finland took the and back and stayed at the pre-war border and never proceeded towards the city. Finland got back what was theirs and that was it.
Соотношение наличных сил выглядит очень реалистично .
Потери РККА завышены просто чудовищно ! На сегодняшний день комплексная "средняя" цифра -- порядка миллиона . Потери Вермахта тоже завышены довольно существенно .
Трагедия ( для нас , конечно ) ленинградского участка фронта в том что учитывая ситуацию ( огромный город умирал в блокаде ) беспрерывно в топку войны бросались все новые и новые недостаточно обученные снабженные -- да что там говорить -- даже недостаточно "накормленные" части . А театр военных действий очень располагал не к наступлению а к обороне . И тем не менее даже в таких условиях 18 января 1943 года Блокада была прорвана без тотального превосходства в людях и технике ( в отличии , например от операции "Багратион" или тем более от Висло Одерской или Берлинской операций ).
А через год окончательно снята .

Они и не могли
Na bro the soviets didn’t let them get closer… try again
@@JackllewellynnExcept Finns halted and started building defenses with no further intentions for offensive actions towards Leningrad. The fighting on the Karelian isthmus was static trench warfare with little happening until the Red Army offensive in 1944. Similar trench war became common in other areas Finland expanded into and the Soviets noticed this, leading to them redirecting soldiers to fight Germans rather than stationary Finnish trench lines. The front became so quiet at one point that Finnish troops briefly outnumbered Soviet ones.

Я мягко говоря охренел, когда увидел, сколько комментариев под этим видео оскорблений в адрес Русских и Красной Армии. Оскорбляют их жалкие люди, которые не понимают, какой подвиг совершили люди. Ведь они гораздо слабее их, как морально, так и физически. Я не уверен, что у них хватило бы мужества на такой подвиг, который сделали они. К слову, почему-то Русских всегда выделяют из массы. Смысл оскорблять Россиян, если там также участвовала предки зажравшихся балтов? Нелюди, мусор, никак больше не описать тех, кто обесценивает и преуменьшает действия тех, кто нанёс основное поражение Алику. Тех, кто догнал их до Берлина и сделал буквально 90% всей работы. Слава Красной Армии! Ура!
не обращай внимание на этих шутов. они в душе ненавидят и боятся русских, т.к. мы угроза их паразитарной системе. поэтому при любой возможности стараются обгадить, выставить в неприглядном свете и напридумывать всяких мифов. например я слышал такую идею, что Сталин был только рад, что немцы сжигали деревни вместе с жителями, потому что это поднимало патриотизм. то есть получается, что это уже Сталин был главный злодей, а вовсе не немцы
It seems to me that if Finland had not attacked, it would have been much easier for the USSR to defend Leningrad.
It's also obvious that if Stalin hadn't first invaded Finland in 1939 (and failed), Finns would never have had the motivation to try to recover the lost areas.
Definitely. And had Finland kept pushing instead of halting at the former Finnish border, it would've been a lot harder for the USSR to defend Leningrad.
@@viljanov It's also obvious that if the Finns accepted Stalin's ultimatum which demanded less lands from the Finnish than what the Soviets eventually ended up annexing, the Finnish wouldn't have needed to express a needs for wanting more territories in the east for a "Greater Finland" and helping starve an entire city
@@Yo-ps2pf Not really, that was just the "official" explanation. The negotiated area cedings before the Winter war were only designed to make the future invasion easier, by bypassing the strategically important Mannerheim line. Exactly this way Stalin operated also in the Baltics, by first demanding military bases, and using them later to overtake the whole country. In negotiations Stalin had demanded to place tanks in Hanko, which was ostensibly supposed to guard against a German naval invasion. Tanks in Hanko - for what purpose??
Furthermore, immediately after the attack, Stalin appointed the Terijoki puppet government, which was supposed to rule the whole future Finnish Soviet republic. And every captured Soviet POW said they had orders from Stavka to advance all the way to Helsinki. So it's pretty clear Stalin was going for full occupation and annexation, as Finland was part of Soviet "sphere of influence" according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
@@viljanov The Finnish Democratic Republic was only recognised by the Soviet Union and nominally operated in Soviet-occupied areas of Finnish Karelia from the de facto capital of Terijoki. The Finnish Democratic Republic was portrayed by the Soviet Union as the official socialist government of Finland capable of restoring peace, but lost favor as the Soviets sought rapprochement with the Finnish Government. The Finnish Democratic Republic was dissolved and merged into the Karelo-Finnish SSR upon the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty.
"The negotiated area cedings before the Winter war were only designed to make the future invasion easier"
What is this bullcrap? you are aware that the soviets had full capability of doing a full-conquest of Finland in 1945? Instead, Stalin decided to stupidly forgive them in exchange for a small piece of land, this literally proves that the Soviets didn't want to entirely conquer the Finnish.. they didn't need to AT ALL
Finns were to lease the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviets for 30 years and to permit the Soviets to establish a military base there. In exchange, the Soviets would cede Repola and Porajärvi from Eastern Karelia, an area twice as large as the territory demanded from the Finns
Although the Soviets lost more than the Finnish, the Finnish literally lost their second biggest city, their capital was much closer to the USSR, the USSR was able to take the Finnish if they wanted to in 1945, Stalin chose not to, and then the Finnish are like "WOOOHOOO WE FOUGHT AND WON!!!!!!"! yet their entire government was replaced (by the USSR, yet the government was not socialist!)
"Finland was part of Soviet "sphere of influence" according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact."
Wrong. the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was signed in 1939..
In April 1938, a junior diplomatic official, Boris Yartsev, contacted Finnish Foreign Minister Rudolf Holsti and Prime Minister Aimo Cajander and stated that the Soviets did not trust Germany and that war was considered to be possible between the two countries in which Germany might use Finland as a base for operations against the Soviet Union. The Red Army would not wait passively behind the border but would rather "advance to meet the enemy".
If Finland fought against Germany, the Soviet Union would offer all possible economic and military assistance. The Soviets would also accept the fortification of Åland islands but demanded "positive guarantees" on Finland's position

Thanks to new documents and research by German historians, in 2022 the blockade of Leningrad was considered an act of genocide. The city was not planned to be stormed; its inhabitants were supposed to die of hunger. During the 900 days of the siege, almost 1 million people died, but the city survived. An unprecedented case in history.
Point of Siege is to force defenders to lay down their weapons. If the defenders dont do that and they do not have enough good then What do you think will happen? Maybe Russians should evacuate the city before it was under siege? Like this was the first or last time when civil population suffers when dictatorships clash.
@@MietoK You are writing nonsense, firstly there was an evacuation before and after, hundreds of thousands of people were taken out, but this is a huge city. And the German offensive developed rapidly on a huge front.The attacking side must invite the besieged to surrender. This is how it is accepted: you are surrounded, lay down your arms, surrender, we guarantee your life. Or hunger strikes. During the storming of Berlin, 100 thousand Soviet soldiers died. History seemed to look at the fact that if the USSR surrounded Berlin, it would not offer any conditions and would simply wait a couple of years until all the Berliners died of hunger. They just had to evacuate, it was their own fault.

Because they were held out at the top by Murmansk city and the right side of the peninsula. That was the priority for them. Storming the city of St. Petersburg would not give them much , yet denying Murmansk and it's strategical supply point from the allies and an important fortpost for the northern advancements would seal the fate of St. Petersburg and break the Russian front from the north and would alleviate so much pressure from other fronts. The city of Murmansk was the second most bombed city in the war after Stalingrad. As that was one of the most important strategic points.

Well, the President of Finland personally told the ambassador that Leningrad should be wiped off the face of the earth. The Finns played this game very carefully, although this did not prevent raids and shelling on Soviet territory. Mannerheim was mostly against this advancement. Well, Mannerheim himself was originally from Leningrad. He served there under the Emperor and achieved great heights. His wife was Russian and the city was important to him. But here too, the big losses of the Finns played a big role. If the Germans had managed to capture the city, the Finns would have united and gone on to Moscow.
But its well known hitler did not plan in capturing the city, but starving the city instead.
If u want your dominance in region never attack Russia
"Napoleon Bonaparte"
Soviet Union casualties : Civillians and fragments of its army (ages 18 to 58)
Germany- Finland casualties: Exclusively young soldiers
I don't know what your point is, Soviet soldiers took 4-5 times more casualties in most battles with the finns.
@@FinnishNationalist123 The age factor counts more. More youngsters died from you, more old people from them (win-win)
@@hellfruit5612 Well nah not really
@@FinnishNationalist123 🤣🤣😂
@@hellfruit5612I mean really, did you pull that information out of your ass? Where is the proof that Finland lost young people and soviets lost older people.
I am Still surprised how URSS could stand so many casualties during WW2
If Japan had invaded from the East, they couldn't have.
Civilian casualties are indicated, mainly due to starvation due to genospecies from Finland and Germany up to 1.500.000 in Leningrad
@@intermilan9731 but she did not do it, the battle of Khasan and Halkin-gol showed the unpreparedness of the Japanese army in the war against Russia
@@mayakstudios7292 That's when Japan faced the whole might of USSR alone. A divided USSR is easier to defeat. USSR literally held millions of forces in the East, while Germany was destroying them. If Japan had invaded the USSR instead of USA, then things would be so different today.
@@intermilan9731 What kind of stupid logic is that? Sure, the Japanese could take the few major population centres in the East without much of a fight, but then what? Slug through through hundreds of thousands of miles of Siberia whilst also fighting a destructive war in China and the Pacific? You Wehraboos never cease to amaze me with your moronic analogies of how the Axis could've won an unwinnable war.
0:02 its sounds like ahhh guilty
the casualities difference ... wow
Germany bombed food supplies and caused in Leningrad hard famine, from 2 million population decreased to 300 000
lots of civillian died, it is one of the german's war crimes
It includes civilians.
@@GigachadicusMaximus degenerate read the fist comment under this vidio THIS IS WITH CIVILIAN
@@фийкё Stalin and the evil communists caused more famine and death than the Nazis.
So many deaths.
Leningrad could stand 28 months till the russian break the nazi front.
In 1000 years a lot of armies tried to conquer russia, but every army find there end!
Mongols invaded and occupied the whole Russia in 1200s. All Russians were slaves and vassals to Mongols.
@user-px8st6wz8l Я знаю, что в России историю переписывают и санируют, но здесь, за границей, мы все еще знаем правду. запомни это, раб монголов😉
@@viljanovэто когда было раб монголов
Ну да. Единственные, кому нас удалось завоевать - Монголия. Но тогда и понятия "Россия" не было.

What if Germany took Leningrad during early 1942 and the freed up troops were used in case blue would that be enough to take Stalingrad and take the Caucasus also how much troops would it free up
Тогда вам или лежать в земле, или служить немецкому господину.
Hold on my German ancestors 0:27 !!
Out of oil, back to Berlin.
Nice Vid, can you do Monte Casino next?
Is Amazing how Finland Resist the Soviet Invasion
This needed a wider view to see the germans getting circled from behind.
Unfortunately, Fins didn’t hold responsibility for what they did… so unfortunately
What are you talking about?
@@florianschneider3982 I’m talking about the fact, that Finnish soldiers also committed horrible war crimes while blockading Leningrad, like shooting the civil refugees who tried to escape and survive… but no Finnish was convicted for that after the war
@@brianeasy9220 Logically, in a war you shoot at the enemy
@@florianschneider3982 cooperating with the german nazis also has a logical part? they did to civilians what fascist normally do and yea this is logical
@@brianeasy9220Tbh, they were controlled by the germans
What happened on roughly January 18th? 00:58
Germans were pushed back by large Soviet counter offensive.
finland is literally the definition of chilling
The front line wasn’t moving in that front because the red army managed to stop them
@@chaddicus1672 It wasn't moving because Finland wasn't even trying to advance. Finland was only committed to taking back the lands she lost in the Winter war. They achieved that and had no reason to push forward.
@@fsdspdf2717 stop lying, Western clown. Finland's goal was not to reach the borders before the Winter War, but to create a Great Finland. The Fins did not stop when they reached their former borders, they went on
@@fsdspdf2717yes and it’s the exact reason why they made anti-Slavic Camps in their homeland “Finlandia” monnergeim was no better then Adolf. He had exactly same views as him.
Finland acted in a situation where the German war machine was strong, the Finns fell under it for the sake of their interests, as soon as it began to weaken, they refused to carry out orders to storm Leningrad from the Germans, as soon as the Third Reich rolled back, they left the axis)
They forgot to show the Lyuban offensive operation and the encirclement of the 2nd Shock Army on the map
German love Finland ❤❤
Can you do the Moscow battle
