To make things even more complex, forces within the Soviet Union were often fractured among themselves, early in the war, some groups had even welcomed the Germans and fought against the Red Army, in the hopes that Hitler’s troops would liberate them from Stalin.
Later, as battles became desperate, Stalin issued Order No. 227 “Not a Step Back!” which forbid Soviet forces from retreating without direct orders. Commanders who sought to pull back faced tribunals, and foot soldiers faced “blocking detachments” of their own fellow soldiers, ready to gun down any who fled.
The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome of the European portion of World War II, eventually serving as the main reason for the defeat of Nazi Germany.

It is very likely that the Soviet prisoner of war (POW) shown in the first photo of the video did not survive the German captivity. Because 3.3 million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered. Most starved to death in POW camps that were actually death camps. It's true that the battles of the eastern front were particularly bloody, as the title of the video suggests. Many soldiers also die in the fanatic fighting but in fact far more civilians died behind the front lines in the German-held territories . Because Various genocides took place in the territories occupied by German soldiers. What is generally known the Nazi Nation were implementing their plan to murder every Jew in German-occupied territories. But beyond the one genocide the Nazi Nation had also developed the plan to eliminate the all Slavic nations in various genocidal through mass murder in death camps and shootings, ethnic cleansing and extermination through labor.
The reason by the Nazi nation for the raid on Poland in 1939 was the same reason as the raid on the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union was populated by several Slavic nations. The Nazi nation wanted t in 1941 to conquer all Slavic territories and exterminate the Slavs there and leaving a relatively small number of Slavs alive to be enslaved. This should be done to make room for German settlement. The Nazi nation murdered the Slavic nations according to a special plan, the "Master Plan for the East". In German "Generalplan Ost". That was a plan to carry out various genocides against virtually all Slavic nations. It all happened according to Nazi dieology! According to this plan, a large part of the population of the Slavic nations including the Poles should be exterminated and a minority should be forced into forced labour. The areas that would then be "free" should be populated by Germans. The Slavs who were not murdered there should then serve the Germans. A large part of the Soviet soldiers were Slavs, which is why the captured soldiers were murdered and since Poles are also Slavs, Polish POWs were also murdered for the same reason. According to this plan as the first Slavic nation the Poles were murdered by the Nazi nation. With the conquest of Poland, ideas about the settlement of Poland by Germans according to Naziology should be realized according to the German Master Plan for the East. After the invasion of Poland, SS Oberfuhrer Konrad Meyer was responsible for the so-called "German reconstruction in the East", as the General Plan East was also called. Poles were systematically murdered according to this plan, such as in the "Aktion Zamość" english Operation Zamość. In the Operation Zamość tens of thousands of Polish inhabitants of the Zamość region were ethnically cleansed by the occupiers, to make space for German settlers in order to ensure Germanisation of this area. Most former polish inhabitants were deported to forced labor in Germany or in death camps such as Auschwitz, Majdanek and Bełżec. A total of 51,000 Poles! The Polish population resisted massively and many Poles fled and became partisans. The Polish partisans of this area fought in several skirmishes against the Germans and also attacked and killed the Germans who were settled in these Polish areas. The massacres of the Polish population and prisoners of war actually started in the first days of the war and were then continued during the occupation. There were extremely many massacres, which make it clear that the Polish nation was being systematically annihilated. The Wola massacre was also carried out according to this plan. Because the Wola massacre was the systematic killing of between 70,000 and 90,000 Polish civilians in the Wola suburb of Poland's capital city, Warsaw, by German Wehrmacht and special murder units! In terms of the number of victims, the Wola massacre was the largest war crime on European soil in World War II. During and after the Warsaw uprising there were various massacres in which the Wehrmacht was also involved. 500,000 Poles were deported from Warsaw after the Warsaw uprising on top of 180,000 civilian casualties. After the uprising, Warsaw was almost completely destroyed, taking part in this destruction as well Units of the German Wehrmacht. In all, about 6 million Polish citizens were murdered by the Nazi nation. In all, 30 million Slavs were murdered by the Nazi nation under this plan.
By the way two days after the raid on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, Heinrich Himmler commissioned Meyer to expand the Master Plan for the East with regard to the Soviet Union, because the Master Plan for the East applied to all Slavic areas conquered by the Germans. A total of 27 million Soviets died in the raid on the Soviet Union and a large part were victims of murder actions. Most of these were Slavs and most of the dead were murdered civilians who were murdered according to the plan. Altogether 30-40 millions Slavs died according to this plan. Most were murdered in genocides and a minority died in in the completely brutal war that served to conquer the Slavic countries. Because the Nazi nation not only committed the one known genocide against the Jews, but also various genocides against Slavic nations. In this context one should not forget that there was also a genocide against the gypsies! Those were all genocides according to the common definition although neither nation was completely exterminated. So if one takes it very precise, the attempt of a genocide is actually called genocide today. Because fortunately the Nazi nation did not really succeed in exterminating any nation. So total extermination by genocides did not work with the Gypsies, Slavs and Jews although this total extermination was planned by the Nazi nation. In any case, it all makes it clear how completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation was with pure insane and utterly barbarism.
