  1.  @denys1056  гитлер сознательно заменил научный термин социализма на свой собственный. Поэтому когда он называет себя социалистом, то имел ввиду свой придуманный термин, а не оригинальный. Реальный социализм выступает за равноправие людей и уменьшение социального расслоения, а в германии было наоборот - господство одной нации и принцип подчинения фюрерам. Гитлер прямо отрицал идею демократии, а настоящий социализм ее не отрицает.

  3.  @chantssovietiquesetrussest2335  The Red Army gained a double superiority in men only in the middle of 1944. Because German statistics do not take into account the personnel of the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and part of the ground army. Also, the Germans had more ammunition for heavy artillery until 1944 despite the fact that they had fewer guns.

  4. The main factor for the losses of the Soviet infantry is the superiority of the Wehrmacht in the amount of ammunition for heavy artillery that they had until 1944. Also, the official German statistics do not take into account the part of the killed and slightly wounded soldiers. Their real losses are greater.

  5. @Yieri The number 681 for the Germans does not include losses in August (the battle of Kursk lasted from July 5 to August 23). Also, German statistics take into account the aircraft destroyed only if the damage to its hull is 60-100%. Therefore it is need to check whether the German source only considers destroyed aircraft or includes damaged ones. Update: a Russian source (Krivosheev) gives information that during the entire battle of Kursk, the USSR lost about 1716 combat aircraft. Roman Toeppel says that the USSR lost 3000, but what categories does it include in this number I cannot check because I do not have his book. It may include non-combat casualties or non-combat aircraft.

  6.  @willthorson4543  If you look at the statistics in the Polish and French campaigns of the Wehrmacht, you will see that the losses of Germany were several times lower. The attacker does not always suffer greater losses than the defender, but most often when his attack fails. On the eastern front, there were other factors affecting the losses of the parties. For example, German soldiers had a higher level of education and more ammunition for heavy artillery than the Red Army.

  8.  @generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895  Taiwan cannot consider itself a real China because they have historically been vassals of the Anglo-Saxons. The propaganda told them that they were a different nation and they believed. China has every right to return this region to itself.

  10. Holocaust was part of german war vs ussr. Also german goal in this war was colonisation of new territories, not sacred war. If you not nazi.

  11.  @remo27  Soviet intelligence provided accurate information about Germany's plans too late because the Germans were using a disinformation campaign. But nevertheless, a few hours before the start of the war, Stalin gave the order for the Red Army to be fully operational. It is a myth that he did not know that a war could happen.

  12.  @arty7122  This is an old myth. In fact, the purge did not affect the quality of the Red Army. The purpose of the purge was to fire disloyal or disruptive commanders, not to attack the most experienced, as propaganda says.

  13. You confuse killed soldiers with total losses (killed + wounded + pows). In this battle ussr lost 240-250k men as killed vs 70-80k of germans. Wehrmacht still had superiority in numbers of heavy artillery shells which allowed to inflict big losses.

  14.  @generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895  Socialism is one of the responses to the crisis of the capitalist system. If you condemn socialism, but do not change capitalism, then you will be disappointed.

  20. Worthy for whom? Hitler planned to colonize Soviet territory and destroy or deport the local population. It is incredible that for you a decent future is the destruction of a sovereign country.

  26. Success is determined by the criterion of the goals achieved in the operation. Germany has not achieved its goals. Also, the German official statistics do not take into account some of their losses. It is always funny to read that a person condemns Soviet propaganda, but repeats German propaganda as an objective opinion.

  29.  @thepretorian5292  This is the official territory of the Third Reich, which the Nazis considered their own.

  30.  @thepretorian5292  Belarus was not part of the Third Reich. The USSR, like the Third Reich, were multinational states, so it makes no sense to count only Germans or only Russians. Poles and Czechs were not used in the Wehrmacht, but were used in industry and agriculture, which freed up the Aryans for the army.

  31. Ukrainian nationalists rewrite history and call own soviet history as occupation.
