Comments by "Андрей Борцов" (@Mentol_) on "How Russia Stopped The Blitzkrieg" video.

  1. Can you name the source of information for this number? And show the categories of people who were killed. P.S. It is strange that you use such primitive propaganda whose goal is to demonize strong national leaders.

  2. You did not name a concrete source or category of people. Yes, propaganda. The purpose of this propaganda is to create a demonic image of a soviet leader who does not care about his people. As a result, the soviet people are caught between two evils - the german army and their own government (other countries do not have this). You need a minimum of critical thinking to figure it out.

  3. Most of the soviet losses at that time were due to large surroundings. This has nothing to do with the strategies of "throwing people into the meat grinder" that you create from nothing.

  4. The German Blitzkrieg was stopped before the onset of winter in 1941. On which 4 fronts did Germany fight at this time?
    1
  5. Poland killed 17 thousand Wehrmacht soldiers in 36 days (472 people a day). France and allies killed 50,000 Axis soldiers in 43 days (1,163 people a day). The USSR killed 383 thousand Axis soldiers (1984 people per day) in 193 days (1941). The allies after the opening of the second front killed 340 thousand German soldiers in 216 days (1944), which gives 1,574 people a day. Moreover, the Allies had numerical, technical and material superiority over the enemy, in contrast to the Red Army in 1941.

  6. > He himself was personally responsible for "purging" 10 million Soviet soldiers from his own army during the war. That is mean? Stalin killed them, not Germany?

  7. Aid to regions: In general, from September 1932 to December 1934, Kazakhstan received 5 million centners of grain as food aid. This is 31.2 million poods. In total, in 1932, Ukraine received 3.2 million centners in the order of food aid, and in 1933 - 5.3 million centners. This is 53.1 million poods in total. And on the basis of this assistance a large-scale network of canteens was organized. According to data as of May 1933, 8.8 million people ate in rural canteens in the European part of the USSR. In Ukraine, at the same time, there were 20.7 thousand canteens, to which 3 million people were attached. In total, in 1933, catering, including food during field work, reached 39 million people.

  10. The war was supposed to end in October 1941 (according to plan), but this did not happen. Only a naive person will think that only logistics affects you, but not the enemy army.

  11. Where do you get that shit? Try to quote any Soviet order that has such a goal.

  12. > Wehrmacht wasn't capable of delivering that decisive blow due to Stalin being prepared to trade any amount of red army soldiers for time What a pitiful Wehrmacht and what an terrible Stalin. Did you want to say this? This is a primitive propaganda. > perhaps if Hitler truly liberated regions like the Ukraine and Belarus in exchange for their total support in fighting Stalin, whom most of them loathed This is just nazi propaganda.

  13. Why do you want to show the situation as if it was not the Red Army that stopped the Wehrmacht, but other factors? Why do you need it?

  14. What soviet order has such a goal? USSR mobilized 34.5 million soldiers. Germany produced 16.5 billion bullets.

  15. > UK and USSR against Germany Industrial potential of 1941 (European theater). Great Britain and USSR: Coal (million tons) - 357.7 vs 350 Axis. Oil (million tons) - 33 vs 12.7 Axis. Cast iron (million tons) - 21.2 vs 24.4 Axis. Steel (million tons) - 30.2 vs 32 Axis. Electricity (billion kilowatt/hour) - 80.2 vs 119.6 Axis. As can be seen from these statistics - the potentials are approximately equal, but the Anti-Hitler Coalition had a serious advantage only in oil production. This statistics does not take into account the United States, but this country takes a long time to mobilize its economy.

  16. Any proof? Not.

  17. "They threw millions of men in front of it" - which soviet order had such goal?
    1
  18. The Wehrmacht lost on the eastern front not 2.6 million, but 3.5 million soldiers. And the percentage of dead prisoners of war was about 15%.

  19. Those missing are those killed on the battlefield, but whose fate has not been established. I do not know where you get the information that these people died after the capture.

  20. I do not understand what you want to say. Explain, please.

  21. Why do you want to show the situation as if it was not the Red Army that stopped the Wehrmacht, but other factors? Why do you need it?

  22. Germany did not fulfill the main goal of barbarossa - the destruction of the Red Army and the occupation of the territory to Arkhangelsk.

  23. 1. Germany had a numerical superiority on the front from the beginning of the war until the end of 1941. 2. Poland killed 17 thousand Wehrmacht soldiers in 36 days (472 people a day). France and allies killed 50,000 Axis soldiers in 43 days (1,163 people a day). The USSR killed 383 thousand Axis soldiers (1984 people per day) in 193 days (1941). The allies after the opening of the second front killed 340 thousand German soldiers in 216 days (1944), which gives 1,574 people a day. Moreover, the Allies had numerical, technical and material superiority over the enemy, in contrast to the Red Army in 1941.

  25. Poland killed 17 thousand Wehrmacht soldiers in 36 days (472 people a day). France and allies killed 50,000 Axis soldiers in 43 days (1,163 people a day). The USSR killed 383 thousand Axis soldiers (1984 people per day) in 193 days (1941).

Moreover, the Allies had numerical, technical and material superiority over the enemy, in contrast to the Red Army in 1941.

  26. In numbers of soldiers, the Wehrmacht had superiority until the end of 1941. The main enemy of the tanks is the infantry where Germany has superiority. 80% of Soviet aviation at the beginning of the war is obsolete.

  27. Lend-Lease is a bonus in relation to the Soviet military-economic efforts. In late May 1945, US presidential adviser Harry Hopkins, in a conversation with Stalin, said: "... we never believed that our Lend-Lease assistance was the main factor in the Soviet victory over Hitler on the Eastern Front. It was achieved by the heroism and blood of the Russian army."

  28. How many military divisions of the western allies fought against Germany in the period 1941-1943?
    1
  29. Can't you see the difference between military casualties and civilian casualties? It's sad. In reality, the USSR lost 8.7 million people at the front, while Germany and its allies lost 3.9 million. The ratio was 2.2 to 1. For comparison, Poland in 1939 lost 3.7 to 1, and France in 1940 between 2.2-2.8 to 1.
    1
  30. According to the original plan, the war in the east was supposed to end in October 1941. Did it happen? Not. Why do you deny the Soviet army as a factor that broke the German strategy?
    1
  31. Why was logistics not a big problem for the red army in 1944-1945? And during the Manchurian operation against Japan? For some reason, it is unbearable for you to admit that the Red Army stopped the Wehrmacht while you are trying to say that these were German problems and other factors. Primitive manipulation!

  32. > Stalin killed 11 million of his own people. fake info.

  33. For all the time in the USSR 800 thousand people were sentenced to death. The period of famine is not an order of Stalin.
    1
  34. Of course they died. From 3 to 4 million people. But if you consider the dead as the fault of the Soviet government, then consider the survivors too. In total, about 39 million people received additional food assistance from the government during the famine.

  35. > Communism doesnt work The communists do not think so. > threaten workers to meet quotas, and if they don't they get sent to gulags. what do you mean? > not to mention you lied about that 3-4, its 3-60 The number of victims of famine (1933) is estimated at 3-4 million people. All that is more is an exaggeration (propaganda). And how did you get 60 million (omg) if the population of Ukraine has always been less? The population of the Ukrainian SSR: 1920 - 25 million. 1922 - 26 million. 1926 - 29 million. 1930 - 29 million. 1933 - 31 million. 1939 - 40 million (New borders). 1941 - 41 million. 1944 - 33 million (War). 1950 - 36 million. 1951 - 37 million. 1959 - 41 million. 1970 - 47 million. 1973 - 48 million. 1979 - 49 million. 1989 - 51 million.

  36. > where tf did you get ukrain from? Official statistics. Do you already understand that your number of 60 million is absurd? > if you didnt get your job done youd be sent to a work camp After Germany destroyed France, Soviet labor laws tightened. It was forbidden to change their work without the permission of the government and the punishment for being late was tightened. The USSR had to prepare for war in a short time and any violation could be perceived as sabotage. So there is a rational reason.

  37. > Their tactic was just throw men at it until it went away. No tactics. What soviet order has such a goal?

  40. Nimori Kandara Disgusting nazi apologet. Just see how he creates the image of a German soldier who was defeated not by the army of the enemy, but because of logistics, weather and other factors. If this is true, then the German soldier remained undefeated and can be considered as having moral superiority. You are just disgusting if you believe in this shit.

  41. USSR mobilized 34.5 million soldiers. Germany produced 16.5 billion bullets.

  42. What crimes do you mean?
    1
  43. Are you sure that this is a crime for the USSR? For example, the Katyn operation. Killed military and class enemies. For Poland, this is a tragedy, and for the USSR, pragmatism. For the USSR, inaction is a crime.
    1
  44. I do not deny that the Katyn operation is a crime against humanity. But each nation has its own interests. Your mistake is that you do not evaluate Soviet politics from the point of view of Soviet interests.

  45. Alternative history? The percentage of dead nationality in the soviet army relative to the total number of deaths. Russians - 66.40% Ukrainians - 15.89% Belarusians - 2.92% Tatars - 2.17% Jews - 1.64% Kazakhs - 1.45% Uzbeks - 1.36% The rest - less than 1%

  47. Расскажи про - 40 в начале декабря 1941. А если серьезно то по плану Барбаросса вся европейская территория СССР должна быть оккупирована уже к октябрю 1941, то есть до наступления зимы.

  48. January 9, 1941, a fragment of closed Hitler's speech to generals. What supports England, so this is the hope for the US and Russia, for the destruction of the English metropolis with time is inevitable. But England hopes to hold out until it creates a major continental bloc against Germany. Diplomatic training in this direction can be clearly seen. The English supports the hope of the possibility of intervention by the Russians. They will only give up resistance when their last continental hope is crushed. He, the Fuhrer, does not believe that the British are "hopelessly stupid"; if they do not see any prospect, they will stop fighting. If they lose, they will never find the moral strength to preserve the empire. If they can hold out, form 30-40 divisions, and if the US and Russia help them, then a very difficult situation for Germany will be created. This can not be tolerated. Until now, he [Hitler] acted on the principle of striking at the most important positions of the enemy, in order to move one step further. Therefore, now it is necessary to defeat Russia. Then either England will surrender, or Germany will continue to fight against England under the most favorable conditions. The defeat of Russia will also allow Japan to turn all its forces against the United States. And this would keep the latter from entering the war. Especially important for the defeat of Russia is a matter of time. Although the Russian armed forces and clay colossus are without a head, however, it is impossible to accurately foresee their further development. Since Russia needs to be defeated in any case, it is better to do it now, when the Russian army is deprived of its leaders and poorly trained and when the Russians have to overcome great difficulties in the military industry created with outside help. Nevertheless, Russians can not be underestimated right now. Therefore, the German offensive must be conducted with maximum force. In no case should the front be ousted by the Russians. Therefore, the most decisive breakthroughs are needed. The rout of Russia will be a great relief for Germany. Then in the East it will be necessary to leave only 40-50 divisions, the size of the land army can be reduced and the entire military industry used for the arming of air and naval forces. Then it will be necessary to create a reliable anti-aircraft cover and move the most important industrial enterprises to safe areas. Then Germany will be invulnerable. Giant spaces of Russia are fraught with innumerable riches. Germany should economically and politically master these spaces, but not to annex them to itself. Thus, it will have all the possibilities for conducting in the future the struggle against the continents, then no one else will be able to defeat it. When this operation is carried out, Europe will hold its breath.

  50. Why do you want to show the situation as if it was not the Red Army that stopped the Wehrmacht?

  51. You did not answer my question. According to the plan of Barbarossa, the European territory of the USSR was to be captured by October 1941. But this did not happen. The question is why. You answer - American help, but where is it in 1941? You are also talking about the large size of the territory, but the German military command knew about it when it created its plans. You also say that there were no more blitzkrieg attacks in 1942 and the Luftwaffe could not support operations. But what about Operation Blau? It was a success for the Wehrmacht. For what purpose are you trying to interpret the defeat of Germany in the east as the sum of random factors exept than the Red Army? What is your goal here.
    1
  52. Germany also had the advantages: - A fully molilized and concentrated army at the beginning of the operation. - Excellence in technology. - Excellence in logistics at the initial stage (road capacity in Europe is higher than in the USSR). - Numerical superiority which persisted until early 1942. - Germany also had more of some resources, such as steel, aluminum, cast iron, electricity. - The army has experience of modern war. - German industial potential was highter than soviet.

  53. 1. Useless Italy = Nazi apologetics. 2. Germany did not have a second front in Europe until mid-1944.
    1
  54. 1. Africa is a peripheral theater with a small amount of military power. Italy is also not a second front because it diverted less than 40 German divisions (the task of a real second front) and did not threaten Germany because of the presence of the Alpine mountains in the south. 2. You can not know exactly what if Germany would be one-on-one with the USSR. When you talk about her guaranteed victory, this is Nazi apologetics (again). All opponents of the USSR have an ideological basis in sympathy with Hitler.
    1
  55. 1. Stalin asked the Allies to divert at least 40 german divisions from the eastern front. Neither Africa, nor Italy have achieved this. 2. At one of the meetings of the Allies, it was officially recognized that the second front would be considered landing in France. 3. Compare the number of divisions with which the allies fought. For example, there were 15 Axis divisions in Africa. In Italy there were 26. On the eastern front there were from 190 to 257 Axis divisions. So your thesis that "you had to fight only with the Germans" does not make sense. Only the opening of the western front distracted about 50 German divisions. 4. The USSR also keep in June 1941 against Turkey and Iran 350 thousand people and against Japan 720 thousand. You always speak of German garrisons, but never of the Soviet ones. You are looking for Germany's moral justification for defeat.
    1
  56. 1. When I say that Germany fought in Europe on a single front until June 1944, I do not mean that the USSR defeated Germany alone — this is your stereotype. I just want to show you the difference between the eastern front and the others. When I do this - I have no desire to deny the efforts of the Western allies, I just want to show you the historical fact without any demonization. 2. You call the number of the German army in Italy as 400 thousand. Probably this number includes additional paramilitary personnel. If we use the same methodology for the eastern front, then in early November 1943 more than 4 million Germans and about 500 thousand of their allies fought here. Do you see the difference? Do you see that the Italian front is only 10% of the German forces in the east? After the opening of this front, only one German division and corps headquarters were redeployed from the east. At the same time, in the west (France + Benelux) the Wehrmacht had 1.4 million people. But these people did not fight until June 1944. 3. Compare the percentage of active Germans in Italy and the Russian front during the First World War. Then Russia held back from 30 to 50% (at different times) of the German-Austrian forces. Do you see that this is a front more important than Italian in 1943? Do you see that the Russian army threatens the German and Austrian industries, unlike Italy in 1943? Of course, Stalin wanted the military efforts to be distributed by the anti-Hitler coalition more evenly than they were in reality. This would reduce the duration of the war and its victims.

  58. Poland killed 17 thousand Wehrmacht soldiers in 36 days (472 people a day). France and allies killed 50,000 Axis soldiers in 43 days (1,163 people a day). The USSR killed 383 thousand Axis soldiers (1984 people per day) in 193 days (1941). The allies after the opening of the second front killed 340 thousand German soldiers in 216 days (1944), which gives 1,574 people a day. Moreover, the Allies had numerical, technical and material superiority over the enemy, in contrast to the Red Army in 1941. Here is a brief list of the achievements of the two russian revolutions of 1917. - The peasants were given more land. - The working day is reduced from 10.5 hours to 8 hours. - Improvement of the health care system. - The policy of eliminating illiteracy of the population. - Equality of men and women is presented. - Elimination of class privileges. - Separation of church from state.

  59. 1. The Wehrmacht had a greater percentage of mechanization than the Red Army. 2. Hitler invaded on June 22. It was not the winter month, was it? By October, the entire European part of the USSR was to be occupied according to plan, but this did not happen. Why? Because the plan Barbarossa was already failed by this time, that is, before the onset of winter. 3. In addition, the Wehrmacht is affected not only by its own mistakes, but also by the Red Army - the main factor in this war. For some reason, many want to put winter instead of him.

  60. Information that Germany has lost most of its supplies after the Polish campaign is a myth.
