Will he can be successful if they swap armies. Red army have radio issue, lack of machine gun and antibiotic. many of early German success are attributed to their early military buildup while most of Soviet failure are attributed for they being post feudal army instead modern one.

@gen.aladeenhandsome3101 Rewatch again. Soviet always attack in much smaller number. Soviet did not issue general conscription, they issue general reserve mobilization. Big difference. Khazakh are minority in soviet army. 80% of them are Russian, 10% are Ukrainian the rest are mix of everything. Im sure if you watch his Stalingrad series soviet units usually cant react fast because their runner get lost or killed by the enemy. And because they use runners, everything are pre planned and Germans can throw wrench to their plan by acting immediately while soviet commander are still waiting their runners to return.

@gen.aladeenhandsome3101 Im sure Tik himself already debunked that German always outnumbered. German usually outnumber soviet 10:3. Overall number doesnt matter since most of them are not in combat. In combat Germans always outnumber the soviet. In his Stalingrad series the soviet is in the brink of collapse not because they outnumber the Germans but because they being outnumbered something like a company holding back a regiment.

@gen.aladeenhandsome3101 Soviet cant replenish their manpower quick. Im sure TIK already made video about courland pocket. They have to use whatever they have at hand. They never issue general conscription. Their lack of coordination happen because they still communicate with runners. Tactics are fine but they lack updated information about the enemy because like I said previously, they still communicate with runners. Im sure Manstein will also perform worse if he also communicate with runners. Both sides use horse drawn carriage and the soviet actually worse than Germans because supplies are delivered by NKVD. Their saving grace is lend lease truck supplied by USA to hide their fundamental problems.
