I tend to disagree with you on the end of all German Blitzkrieg and victory on the Eastern Front. You must be new in the relm of the history of the War of the Titans. The winter did as you said, but they were slowed way before this by the Autumn 🍂🍁 rains and the seas of deep thick mud. It got into everything and anything. Ruined ,tanks, trucks, cars, motorcycles, and even hampered the horses that they were supplementing everything with because of the lack of trucks, trains due to the Soviet as you call them and it was the red army that was destroying the infrastructure and roads, bridges, tracks for trains which you never mentioned that was different from the Germans trains due to the wider gage tracks that the Soviets used. The German engineer divisions were rebuilding the destroyed tracks and they had to narrow each and every inch of it so they were able to use it. Horsepower was the majority of the support for supplies, towing guns and wagons, etc. They were also riding them or marching on foot the majority of the time because they were running the hooves off of the horse to get heavy weapons, artillery, food, ammo, and so much more to the front. They also had to carry their own hay and oats to feed their their selves (Horses) with due to the lack of logistics as you have mentioned a good many times because it was a great shortcoming and problem for the German army the father they got from Poland. Fighting with the Italians/Hungarian/Spanish/ and Romanian armies in the Southern Army group in the south . The Spanish were probably the best next to the Romanian's in the Southern Army group the following spring. Their was not nearly enough of them to cover their flanks and they had to pay the ultimate price with the 6th Army being gobbled up by the encirclement of them by the Red Army. That along with the Battle of Kursk was the true end of the Blitzkrieg and all of any true offensive actions period in the East for the duration of the rest if the war. You will make a great historical documentary in time as long as yoj get your baskets in a straight row. There were many reasons for them to get stopped by the Red Army at Moscow in early December of '41. They should have stopped and sured up their lines when they found out rhe Japanese was trounced by the Soviets in the Battle of Kahlkhin Gol, allowing the Russians to bring at least a million very seasoned veterans from Siberia to get in rhe defensive then the offensive counterattack on the German army at Moscow In the early part of December because it freed up Zukhov and the Siberian divisions to get back to the Western half of the Soviet Union before the Germans could get to Moscow. If the rainy season was better or later in time plus the Japanese were not eliminated from the Siberian part of Soviet Union the Germans would have been way better off and probably made a better shot of it or if they would have done as I mentioned talking with the Japanese and instead of ignoring them most of the time, things could have been completely different. We will never know and can only speculate about it but it is what it was and history is to be learned from and told correctly or it can not be properly learned from. Imagine if Zukhov was stuck in Siberia and not been able to get in the Battle of Moscow with his hearty Winter Divisions they might have lost or who knows what they would have done. Great evening, and great video just needs a little tweaking and there was a ton of footage of the Battle of Moscow, and I wonder why you didn't use more of it instead of mixing up scenes from all three Army Groups of the Germans from the Eastern Front. Good night and God bless you and your families. Looking forward to seeing what you have to throw my way next. Love history and being a well buff can and will debate history with the best of them. Thanks for sharing this again with me and my family/friends. I like to pass on your work.

The problem was that the Germans should have been really ready to dig in as soon as the rains started and the lack of planning for the winter ❄️🥶 should have never happened because of the history and the intelligence of the people that should have been in charge should have known that they were not going to stand a chance against the temperature of anywhere in the ranges of say 10°F-to minus 30°F day time to the horrible lows of say -20° minus 60°F that will damage lungs, freeze skin and kill flesh in less than 3 to five minutes. Ask me how I know this. They were really getting beaten by the freezing temperatures and the freezing 🥶 of fingers, hands, arms, toes, feet, legs, ears ,noses, and lips. Poor guys were loosing their limbs and the ability to move and stay warm, causing more casualty than the enemy. The man in charge of the German nation was so naive and unhinged in his thinking 🤔 about the winter and the treatment of the troops caused by him and the people who agreed with him not to have supported and supplied these men that were sacrificed and they were really forsaken to idiots and losing the war and their way of life as they knew it to the bitter cold and the lack of foresight and knowledge of how to win the war on the Eastern Front in one of the most unforgivable climates on earth period. The only thing that kept the Germans winning was the small band of goons in charge of the military and eventually being crushed due to his ego, thinking 🤔 that he knew what he was doing and he was so blinded it cost him everything he was trying to do like get rid of communism and cost him everything he and the nation once was or ever could have been. He sacrificed everything like a moron and destroyed centuries of hard fighting, centuries of great historical sights and lands for what, nothing. Destroyed the nation, the people that were serving the country for the premise of restoring the economy and the nation that was all started by a treaty the Allies over did it by carving up the country, destroying the economy, and starving a people to the point that it would have never happened if they would have just ended the war and not held them to the point of total embarrassment and bankruptcy. All could have been avoided but I believe that the world is going down this path again because people can't mind their own businesses and keep from forcing themselves and the way to live that they don't want to live. Hopefully it doesn't happen again but they just won't leave people to fight their own battles and get involved where they are not wanted
God bless, good afternoon, and I hope that they learned enough of a lesson from history to become more self reliant and do the trading they need to prosper and survive. Best thing we can do is stay out of the geopolitical world and stay neutral and fend for ourselves and prosper as we once have and not meddle in business we are not wanted to be involved in or we would have been asked to do so. Great day to you all.
