Just imagine fighting for Germany at this stage of the war... knowing that all is lost and the whole world is against you but try to find the will and the reason, whatever these were...
Simple,either you fight and buy your loved ones time to get away or you desert and get send to Labor camps for crimes that your leaders committed.
Simply put no one gave the soldiers a chance.
@@CommanderPaulB So true
I know it's so sad
Many of them couldn't imagine living in a world without Nazism anymore
The SS and other fanatics had nothing left to lose at this point. They either fought and took as many with them as possible, or be executed or sent to gulag. The regular army was just buying time for their fellow countrymen to escape to the west, to avoid soviet vengeance. That was pretty much the only motivating factors at this stage of the war. Hence why there was so little fighting going on in the west by then.
The moment you realize that those aren’t just numbers. Each of the number represent a human life.
It's mind boggling isn't it
The number mean the number of troops
well its just statistic.....
@@sassysaddles9981 spoken like a true communist
Depends
It’s so insane that that the encircled German force to the South was able to break out to the West without being completely annihilated, breaking out hundreds of miles encircled this late into the war.
Because they were in their own country, it's make a sense because they knew it better that all their ennemies
That's the 9th army
They suffered very, very heavy losses.
They were running out of the soviet forces, hoping to be better of as prisoner in the West.

Yep.
SURRENDERING TO THE WEST.
You can see by the video that Steiners counter attack would definitely have worked
Don't worry boi the Stainer counterattack with 10000 men would have destroyed the soviet army of 2 million and take all ussr

Without a state of war, yes. But in a war everybody can be recruited, you know. We see this already in the Russia-Ukraine war. While Ukraine got 250,000 active soldiers in 2021, they increased to 800,000 in 2023

It's crazy how literally a few kilometres away from Berlin the Soviet Union still lost 300k soldiers before the end of the war
Stalin was no stranger of sacrificing soldier just to gain result.
...? They lost 80,000 dead in Berlin, the Nazis suffered 925,000 casualties in the battle of Berlin, are you stupid?
That's why it's zerg rush. Throw bodies
"The race for Berlin"
Wait until you find out the FBI declassified documents in 2016 showing Hortler didn't remove himself and the soviets lied about finding his body to save face, thus why they burned the place down and the only remaining "DNA" from Hortler are skull fragments that don't match his actual hair and tissue samples. There's a reason the Soviets didn't want the allies anywhere near the place once they found out he escaped.
Russians suffered over 350,000 casualties during the Battle for Berlin, if you want to only include KIA, 81,000 Russian soldiers were killed, and 91-100,000 German troops killed @@Yo-ps2pf
Also I always thought how could the Germans stand out against such forces but that cleared to me as I was there:
All of the buildings are massive,especially the Reichstag,with nothing but a clear field stretching on for kilometres into all directions.That’s why the fight was kept on.
@DoiR4 Most of the german troops were either ww1 vets, children or people over 48
@DoiR4 The Allied troops were just as well trained as the Germans. In fact, at this point of the war, the extent of German war training was firing a gun. If you could do that, go shoot some Ruskies grandpa
@@retardistancountryball7That’s true in part,yes most of the Wehrmacht was battling outside of Berlin and so the elder,youth and veterans had to take their part,but in the centre around the Reichstag the SS-Elite was still standing and they had way better training than any allied soldier.But most of the outer rings were defended by people definitely not capable enough for battle!
@NOMORELGBTQANDFURRIED by this stage of the war, most elite/trained soldiers were already dead, most of the time Hitler was forced to use the Hitler Youth with the most basic of training to guard Berlin, a force comprised of 14-17 year olds. There is no way that you could claim that the Allies were less trained in this battle the simple answer is just urban warfare, it's harder to advance in cities because every single street needs to be fought for.
@DoiR4 i tought the sovs were comintern

The reason why the American forces just stayed on the left side is because they agreed with the USSR not to advance past the Elbe River. Also, Berlin was meant to be in the Soviet sphere of influence and the US had estimated that trying to take Berlin would cost the US about 100000 casualties.
don't lie. US tried their best to take Berlin, but didn't succeed. If not, why has US started campaign against Hitler in Europe?
no because they are cowards. cowards who appropriate someone else's victory. they fought with only one tenth of the power of the German army that faced ussr. and then they make films in which they are the only winners and ussr pictured as war criminals.

@@Rpoti27they thought that if they surrendered to the Soviets, they woud be immediately executed
I see a lot of comments talking about "how could the Germans keep fighting at that point?" The best answer I've seen (and I agree with) is that the Germans knew what they'd done to the population/country when they invaded Russia and knew the Russians were going to have their revenge. A lot of soldiers were simply delaying the inevitable so civilians might escape West.
Bullshit, the Russians raped everything that didn't get away fast enough. A German soldier was never allowed to do such cruel things.

No one should say "God" like that because it is blasphemous, and enstranges us further from God, who loves us. It's a small thing but it's so easy to stop doing, seek Jesus and repent, because He gives all the things that you can't buy or fake that the world will tell you can be found anywhere else, like a purpose, a future, and peace of mind... sacrifice is the ultimate form of love, what does this world sacrifice for you? God sent His only begotten Son so that you might be saved. Christianity isn't an "us" and "them" thing, you can go to heaven too! Just seek earnestly seek Jesus, prayer is a good way to start

0:40 why does it look like the southern German troops are effectively marching from their encirclement to the German line.
Because that's what they were doing. Those three units are the remnants of the German 9th army. They were hauling ass through the countryside to escape to the West.
If you look at the German line you'll see a single German force moving to attack the Southwest of Berlin. That's Walther Wenck's 12th army, one of the last combat capable German armies, launching offensives into the Soviet line to draw their troops away from the retreating remnants of the 9th army.

Too many people either have forgotten or never learned the enormous aid given to the Soviets from the US. 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 airplanes, 8,000 tractors, 13,000 tanks, More than 1.5 million blankets, 15 million pairs of army boots, 107,000 tons of cotton, 2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks and tanks), 4.5 million tons of food, an entire Ford factory sent to the USSR to make tires for vehicles.
That is a crazy amount of material given to another country, and though it was technically a lend, it was practically a grant. It was never paid back in full and the costs were written off later.
It's the least the Yanks could do after being late for the second time and walking over the corpses of millions of better men. Although I guess the Yanks were too busy fucking the widows of those better men to bother helping fend off tyrants. Instead becoming the civilian murdering tyrants themselves. Ironic.
The United States would have brought more help if it had sent at least 100,000 troops to defend Moscow.

not that the americans couldnt cope with 100000 troops, rather they stopped at the Elbe river because theyd agreed to it in the yalta conference.

THE GREAT TRIAL AWAITS
What is the unit that finds itself isolated south-east of Berlin but manages to return to its lines?
That is the German 9th army which was ordered by Hitler to relieve Berlin. Their commander ignored this order in an attempt to push west so that his troops could have the chance to surrender to the Americans.
Although his order caused many soldiers to be killed. It probably ultimately saved more soldiers than it lost. As surrendering to the soviets usually meant over a decade of tortuous conditions in Siberia where a majority of German POWs died.
Battle of Halbe
If you look at Germany's numbers looks like they were hoping US would over run them while they held back the Soviets but US didn't play ball with them on that.
Berlin itself would have been better off had the US and western allies moved in. The "rape of Berlin" isn't just about the destruction of the city...
USSR invested everything into this war. It was therefore more important to stop them, rather than way less half hearted men in the west.

Tu raconte sérieux !!!
Les effectifs de la garnison ne dépassent pas les 85 000 hommes ; La 12e armée du général Walther Wenck défend Berlin par l'ouest, sur le front de l'Elbe, indépendamment de l'armée de la Vistule.
is there a story behind that group that got encircled and made it back to the frontline?
