I'd imagine the French would be feeling *REALLY* f***ing pissed off with the Americans. Especially after de Gaulle had to *BEG* the Americans to follow him to Paris, or else his Free French unit would be on strike. The French would be looking for someone to blame. The communist French would place some blame on de Gaulle. Some might blame the Spanish. After the Spanish said "We're declaring war on Germany... after all the work has been done..." The Dutch would *ABSOLUTELY* be *SUPER* pissed the Yanks nuked Amsterdam for nothing xD Most of the Nazi sympathisers in Paris were executed within a few weeks of liberating Paris. Hundreds of thousands almost immediately joined to follow de Gaulle after Paris was liberated. The French population would be Women, Children and the remainder to men would couldn't or didn't fight, a f*** load of prisoners the Germans didn't execute and the remainder of Nazi sympathisers the French didn't execute or the new sympathisers. Until D-day, the Germans saw Paris and France as a holiday destination. Especially the men on the Eastern front when they were on leave.

My headcannon for why Amsterdam got nuked is that the nuke was heading for Hamburg, but the bomber was intercepted by an Me 262 and the bomb just fell onto Amsterdam by mistake. This incident led to such an enormous political catastrophe that the Allies were never allowed to attempt another nuking in Europe, the Dutch welcomed the Germans back, and the American and British armies lost what little will they had left and started revolting en mass thus leading to the near complete collapse of resistance in West Germany and France..

A new and brilliant German commander. Nicknamed Bittersteel by the Allies after the tenacious defense he made during 1945. At just 20 years of age he became the spotlight of the German high command. He stopped the soviets in the East and stopped the Allies at the west, crushing their dream of a swift victory in just 1 month. Nukes couldn’t stop him and he entered Paris in 10 th of January 1948. After that hitler gave semi control over the Wehrmacht and the SS. In some historical documents it’s said to persuade Hitler to better and safer decisions in the most critical situations. He also checked and created divisions himself without the approval of the reich. He took Moscow ( a fever dream) in 1st of November 1950 literally ending WW2 and annexing the soviets and making the whole world pay reperations in the peace talks. He became Hitlers favorite so he and hitler governed the reich. After WW2 he gained the nickname” big daddy” by nazi generals He saved a dying nation and he created a new order… LONG LIVE BITTERSTEEL AND THE 1000 YEAR REICH his statue is in Berlin in the salon of the reichstag with Hitler s portrait
Bittersteel probably became General Zhukov with how many medals he's gonna have. Actually screw that. He's not only gonna have more medals than Zhukov. But he's probably going to have more Iron Crosses than any other Medal he has gained combined at this point in time. Edit: Heck, maybe even the amount of his Iron Crosses may already surpass all of Zhukov's Medals just by itself.

Churchill to Roosevelt and Stalin "Well I must say Gentlemen, this has been a mighty effort by the allies, we suffered a lot of casualties, but Germany are finally on the brink of destruction."

Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt: "Well that escalated quickly.......like that really got out of hand."

The Germans are pushing as further than ever before and we do not think we can hold their advances. Somehow they managed to get guns to all of those crazy patriots of them!" To which US general responds; "General, we have lost so many troops in the European theater, that we are forced to pull out. Europe's problem aren't our problem.

This clip actually reminded me of a story I heard from one of my college professors. One of my history professors is the son of a conscripted SS veteran. From what my professor told us in the class, his father was transferred from unit to unit in the last days of the war. Every time he was transferred once every few months or so, his old unit would have the crap beaten out of it as they were retreating from the Soviets or the Americans. As you were moving your units around, it reminded me of that.
I think it's really cool the level of detail that this mod has. For shits and giggles, I googled the 12th Panzer Division that you clicked on in the Courland pocket. Lo and behold, guess where they ended up in real life? Really cool.

I love this game but the casualties get so silly. 37 million additional casualties. The soviets could have never withstood that. In our own timeline they were having manpower issues by 45 to the extent it was getting tough to keep frontline units full. The same is true here of Germany to a less silly extent(just because there was less losses) they wouldn't have been able to take millions more casualties.
why though its historical the soviet army was very equiped in reality at least since 1943 and even if you dont want to belive that in 1945 german god damn divison had about as much equpiment as 2 soviet soldiers mainly because the germans didint have anything to produce guns from
@@PremiumToad Stalin didn't consolidate units that much so he would have bigger advantage in artillery and stuff. Besides not so long ago the battle of Seelow heights took place where 1st Belarusian front suffered 35-40k dead and over 100k wounded.
It would be crazy for those countries ovcupied by the german in 1940, liberated by the Allies in 44/45, only to see the germans puch back and take over again in 46/47
After short testing and a lot of thinking i have figured out that it's possible to do the "Battle of Festung" by using the nearby Mechanized Division to hold out west of Stuttgart, ive also tried to then Retreat with these troops to Munich to hold out long enough to get the event but i havn't yet managed to do it though ive gotten 1 or 2 day's away so it's not impossible. I personally also like to try doing "Operation Grapeshot" and "Vienna Offensive" but its not really possible to get these troops out after their done so it may or may not be worth it though a permanent modifier in exhange for a couple troop's to me seem's like a good deal. Please do give me feedback on what you're strategies are and what you think is worth or not worth it because it's best to see thing's from multiple angles before deciding which one of them are best.
I'm sure you can do most of the missions, but in my experience, by the time you have some of them done, your main front with the soviets is about to break

"All those that made Rant Parodies on UA-cam... leave the room."
*the whole army Group B leaves*
This is the single greatest disaster save I’ve seen. I’ve watched this about 8 or 9 times now lol
Very nice work Bittersteel
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this game but the casualties get so silly. 37 million additional casualties. The soviets could have never withstood that. In our own timeline they were having manpower issues by 45 to the extent it was getting tough to keep frontline units full. The same is true here of Germany to a less silly extent(just because there was less losses) they wouldn't have been able to take millions more casualties.
Pov: Steiners Counterattack worked
The Soviet army is ridiculously over equipped. They should have between 1/2 and 2/3 of their max strength
why though its historical the soviet army was very equiped in reality at least since 1943 and even if you dont want to belive that in 1945 german god damn divison had about as much equpiment as 2 soviet soldiers mainly because the germans didint have anything to produce guns from
Not historicaly accurate, but suite yourself ig
Probably more like 3/4 to 4/5. The Red Army has shrunk down a little by this point so there equipment was consolidated.
@@PremiumToad Stalin didn't consolidate units that much so he would have bigger advantage in artillery and stuff. Besides not so long ago the battle of Seelow heights took place where 1st Belarusian front suffered 35-40k dead and over 100k wounded.
@@fodetraore6666 historical accurate
“I beat the scenario after removing negative modifiers”
You cheated so bad and really pulled the: I went offcam mining😂
"The battle against the Soviets has already been won" (this time they actually won 😮)
It would be crazy for those countries ovcupied by the german in 1940, liberated by the Allies in 44/45, only to see the germans puch back and take over again in 46/47
It’s so weird that bittersteel dose not have more subs or views he makes great videos
After short testing and a lot of thinking i have figured out that it's possible to do the "Battle of Festung" by using the nearby Mechanized Division to hold out west of Stuttgart, ive also tried to then Retreat with these troops to Munich to hold out long enough to get the event but i havn't yet managed to do it though ive gotten 1 or 2 day's away so it's not impossible. I personally also like to try doing "Operation Grapeshot" and "Vienna Offensive" but its not really possible to get these troops out after their done so it may or may not be worth it though a permanent modifier in exhange for a couple troop's to me seem's like a good deal.
Please do give me feedback on what you're strategies are and what you think is worth or not worth it because it's best to see thing's from multiple angles before deciding which one of them are best.
I'm sure you can do most of the missions, but in my experience, by the time you have some of them done, your main front with the soviets is about to break
@@Bitt3rSteelgood to know
After watching this I asked my friend if i should play this mod and he instantly responded with "you should play Croatia"
Bruh all of these wunderwaffe and panzer offensives and all they needed was bittersteel this entire time
Steiner would be proud
The Madlad actually did it!
Great video XD
Truly brings a tear into one’s eyes 🥹
Steiner's counterattack rlly outdid itself
POV Steiner launched the counterattack
You know, I would like to see someone beat this mod with all the debuffs someday.
This is what would have happened irl if Steiner didn't chicken out
The coincidence where the allies was cut in Dunkirk 😂
Germans be like: were not gonna make the same mistake twice
2nd Battle of The Bulge
I seem to remember TommyKay doing this and he was visited by one of the Creators of this mod and the Creator said it was impossible with the debuffs on. However I'm not sure if they updated it since.
Im back again from the Chile video! So happy i found this channel and game recently (:
Welcome aboard
I don't see many UA-camrs do this, but can you play as Montenegro and just make an empire for them?
Imagine Hitler: So first, we are gonna remove all negative modifiers … 😂
Imagine being one of the "traitor" German generals that surrendered Hearing the Reich turned the tided
they'd no longer be "traitors" just straight up traitors
The real ENDSIEG is the Friends we made along the way

If world war 2 was just like hoi4 hitler wont be that crazy for believing the war could still be won at that time.
Can't wait to see how he does
He wins
11:02 Dear lord, 55 divisions? That's like over half a million men.
Original video title:
THE ULTIMATE ENDSIEG!
BATTLE OF THE SEELOW HEIGHTS 1945.
5:24 you want some sub marines in a strike fleet, because the subs will target fleeing ships and sink them
Germany if Steiner were Successful:
fun fact: the deadliest maritime disaster in history happened during the evacuation of Wehrmacht from Courland pocket
a soviet submarine sunk a transport ship that carried over 9 thousand troops, there were no survivors
Annudah endsieg
How was this comment made before the video, i hate youtube
Brother, you commenting from the old times
@@phelan05manley21pretty sure its a yt members thing. like if you become a channel member or smth
i think videos with more tries are more fun to watch :D (couse the pain)
Me thinking when he says he remove the negative.
This is going to be awsome, but the next vid will be epic.
Oh man! I really love Endsieg! Wish i could play it in my very very very outdated and totally not pirated HOI4
now do it again with the modifiers
Lol, not a chance
I don’t normally comment, but wow. You’re a hoi4 genius lol. Godspeed
Horthy realising that he doesn't have to stay in Portugal until he dies in this timeline.
This could have happened if Steiner decided to counterattack
Amazing, gives me hope for my game that went from me smashing all of Europe to Spain and Russia mobbing me lol, I now have hope 🤞
I love the goofy music as millions of lives are on the line.
