  1. Majority of Soviet combat losses are hygiene related disease. This is why Soviet and German losses are not apple to apple comparison since Germans are more stocked with antiseptic and antibiotic and never have problems with deadly disease..

  2. Those mortars only available in 1943. one 80mm mortar per company, and one 120mm mortar per battalion for total 3x80mm and 1x 120mm in an infantry battalion. Although even in 1943 their mg still lower than germans. One dp per company and two maxim per battalion for total of 3xdp and 2xmaxim in infantry battalion. Geman mg 34 is a versatile weapon. Can act both as heavy mg for battalion asset as light mg for company asset and light support weapon for platoon asset. The amount of lead thrown at the enemy still favors Germans untill Soviet equip half of their battalion with ppsh 41.

  3.  @12q8  Wrong! They only cared about being re elected. If inflating the economy will get them re elected they will do it. And BTW any politician who said something about tomorrow is shittier than today, we must star saving and everyone get a paycut 100% will never be elected. Also modern fiat currency are meant to be spend and will eventually inflated. and countries are competing each other. So anyone who try to slow down their own economy will in the end lag behind.

  4.  @jamesdewane1642  Lol there's only one Hegemon in the world today. USA. Survive WWII unharmed, somehow managed to turn USD into global reserve and the home of big tech company. US must keep the world peace, hence many wars conducted on behalf of Saudi, Israel, Korea. But it still better than the alternative. If no one became hegemon the its like free for all team death match without team lock. Each country have to fight to defend its border until one nation climb up to be the next hegemon. Ofc its not going to be USA.

  5.  @royhuang9715  There are reason why most HEAT ammunition of WW2 are low velocity rockets or black powder or bombs. Not artillery. Basically the technology are not there yet specially with high velocity that can deform its HEAT cone cap long before it can properly detonate.

  6. because both leftist and righty want Hitler to be capitalist.

  7. Memoir written years after the event are worthless. How on earth people don't disarm surrendered troops. He probably kill some POW and try to justify his action by writing that BS because it haunt him.

  8.  @colinthomasson3948  Molotov line will be complete by then. Judging by how hard dealing with 10% complete, 100% complete will be a disaster.

  10.  @silentbob5566  Im sure its more about 10 years of fighting biplanes in China. They also have trouble launching coordinated attack latter.

  12. mokpoly With simple google research you will learn that OKW responsible to everything BUT the Eastern Front. Whatever you find there are irrelevant when talking about eastern front. Go watch "the three alibis" by House and learn how you westerner learn the eastern front through the Germans.

  13. mokpoly Lol you havent read Glantz then. Glantz criticism is basically soviet erased some battles from their official history book but they keep the "Real" record in the archive and Glantz managed to read some. This indicate Soviet record keeping is much better than the Germans. If there's any tailoring its not in the battle record but in the publication. For casualty report, both German and Soviet use difrent standard which resulted the soviet record much higher casualty than it should be while the Germans always record less casualty. Soviet casualty originaly reported 14 millions but then revised to 8.5 million after the fall of soviet union after archieval investigation.

  14. Id rather believe Soviet battle record than any memoirs of German generals. The guy writing battle record cant afford falsifying what he saw or else his unit will get less reinforcement or supplies if he downplay the number of ammo consumed or casualties sustained.
    2
  15. That glorification of battle can be disproven by their own battle record. Just like what Glantz did.

  16. nanoduckling It was Manstein who advice Paulus to stay even Paulus keep asking permission to breakout. Hitler actually always listen to their generals including the logistician. It just German generals aren't that great as the myth said.

  17. Im pretty sure all socialist think that way.

  18. Do people always forget that Hitler also backed by half of europe? Most of the time people forgot that Romanian, Italian, Hungarian and French and even Half of the soviet (Ukraine/Estonian/Latvian/Polish) figting on Germans side up to 1944. They usualy did not apear on "German fighting force table" but rather "Axis fighting force table"

  19. They are doing great with such limitation. Lack of medicine, lack of medic are their main issue and they eventually win just because they are persistent.

  20.  @Edax_Royeaux  What mechanized? The bulk of German army are foot infantry supplied by horses, the main reason why they progress are slow. If you want to talk about mechanized production then look at T-34 factory. They were made using American technology and more automatized to the point boys and girls can operates them. They have something called Gogol radial that can be used to flip the tank upside down for welding process using automated sumberged arc welding. The Germans still use torches for weld process. Their production are not automated and produced by batches. Unlike the Soviet and US which produce everything nonstop. Also Im responding to comment like treaty of Versailles that destroy their economy. They turn them self into Zimbabwe by stupidity not because treaty.

  21.  @gumdeo  One is a room full of nazis the other is a room full of marxist. I like TIK better since he also goes as far explain why this or that happen, unlike Mark Felton who cover battles.

  23.  @BlackwingsProphet  Even liberal scientist like Thunderf00t wont stand on your side in this matter. The main reason why none of them want to debate alt-right on genetics.

  24.  @Riceball01  Yea but im talking to the other guy who is suggesting dumping 30 rounds at once. You only do that with reloading board. STG 44 is not M14 or SVT 40. Also most of those reloading tools are not meant to be use in combat.

  25. My only critic is that individualism only exist in "western" nations. It will never exist in 70% of the planet because they never embrace western value to begin with, Russia included. You can call 70% of the planet criminal organization but they dont care.

  26. 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.

  27.  @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.
    2
  28.  @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.

  29.  @NothingButTrueHere  Lol it is, specially when the occupies is on full racial superiority and have guns.

  30. If they did that Stalin line fortification complex have not been dismantled. Also Hitler don't believe all that crap since he always want to capture Caucasus.

  31. Im sure anyone who survive under Nazi or Communist will turn them self into die hard republican.

  32. His elastic defense still need fuel which they don't have and it only worked once on overextended enemy. Also worth mentioned that he was double the size of his enemies on his "miracle defense" of Kharkov.

  33.  @countvondamned2143  Why? Thats how the Russian operate, they carry wires around if they have one and they use runners most of the time. And yet they defeated those Germans. Thats amazing.

  34.  @freefall9832  I love how they use kids for tank loader.
    2
  35.  @countvondamned2143  The same happen with the Russian. Their most elite unit are the tank Army. They only have 5 and latter 6 of them but receive all trucks needed. The rest are still using horses and drag their artillery pieces using their own troops. In case you wonder why Soviet artillery guns half the weight of their German counterpart. Because other than the most obvious heavy like B-4,ML-20, A-19 and Kat they push/pull their guns around. Those tank armies never rest. They are the only unit fight 24/7 all year non stop.

  36.  @bakters  lol they did. They stop putting high velocity for larger bore.

  37. Because we are all humans. If human wage war over graphic card, game console or foot ball team imagine that we wage war for war that happen centuries ago.

  38.  @flolow6804  Even in Glantz Myth of the Eastern Front always add sick on soviet casualties. Quick wiki check, they came from different sources. It still apple to orange comparison, and it only count the German. The Romanian lost their entire army there to the point they rage quit.

  39. Soldier quality the Soviet always better because they are not bound by Versailles. in fact the soviet only have to mobilize their reserve while Germans have to issue general conscription. Average soviet soldier are reservist while average German soldier are conscript. New soviet conscript have 6 months of training while new German coscript have 3 months of training. Officer quality Soviet have it worst because of the purge. They literally kill low-mid-high officer and replace it with useless party member. They eventually replaced by soldier who distinguished themselves in battle and this is why you never see stunning Soviet ace because they leave battlefield and became officer as soon they got those medals.

  40.  @nikolaynovichkov166  Because today people align their map to the north unlike the nomad.

  41. Because nationalism start to exist.

  42.  @timothyjjcrow  Didn't Norway minister of economy refute Bernie that they are Socialist. they just happen to be capitalist and rich enough to afford those crap.

  43.  @timothyjjcrow  You need to be capitalist first not socialist and Bernie is a Socialist. The only time you can get close that Norway has is under Trump or other capitalist president. So if you like what Bernie is saying or Norway have just vote Trump 2020.

  44. people believe what they want to believe regardless intelligence.

  45. m1 carbine issued for non combatant/rear trooper/engineer, Browning 30 call platoon/company asset, the Germans only face them when they attacking US defended area.

  46.  @TheTiberianWolf  Im pretty sure you are a Nazi if you defend their actions.

  47. You dont fight panzer with panzer. You fight panzer with panzerjager squad/platoon/battalion. German panzerjager team is the best until the end of the war, the Russian are the second.

  48. they are both socialist, NSDAP even have socialist written in their name. As well as Kuomintang and CCP are both communist.

  49.  @IrishSwede  Its democratic republic 100% by its definition. They run by political party and their leader are not elected by god. It was you who know nothing here.

  50.  @IrishSwede  Its a democratic meaning ruled by party representative just like in any democracy system and its a republic instead a monarchy meaning their leader are determined by the party not god just like in any republican system. Its 100% dictionary definition.
