  1.  @borisnikator7060  The video about 1914 sums up how Russia blew it. Rennenkampf’s silly petty huff with Samsonov, poor coordination and communication between the two, and Samsonov not coding his communications.

  2. It isn’t. It’s underrated by popular history and the public.

  3. That’s because the Germans has the Krupp works that allowed their divisions to have a massive advantage in heavy artillery.

  4. Whoever said that is an ignoramus. France may have been defeated in 6-7 weeks. However; in that period they still did more fighting against Nazis Germans and cost the Germans more losses than the British managed until D-Day.

  5. The Germans took a massive risk and a lot of luck went their way. The crossing at Sedan could have failed, trapping a concentration of their forces in the Sedan. And the French could have cut off their armoured spearhead, of not for the change of Commander from Gamelin to Weygand.

  6. The British army would not suffer large scale losses until the Somme offensive of 1916. And of course; the US army never would.

  7.  @alexzero3736  The Germans had many more artillery pieces per division than any other army, until the British and French equalised in 1916. I can’t see how you come to any conclusion that German soldiers were better than Russian soldiers though. Russians were generally far physically tougher.

  8.  @undeadnightorc  Did you even watch the video? The French didn’t surrender with ease.

  9.  @Overlord734  No that is not true. In Barbarossa; Soviets surrendered en-masse when encircled by the Germans rathe than attempting breakouts or holding out. It wasn’t until later in 1941 near Moscow and when stories of Nazi atrocities and neglect of Soviet POW’s came back that capture became a last resort for them.

  10.  @Abu-Talha-Al-Kurdi  How were the Russians “weak and pathetic” during the First World War? They almost got into Hungary in 1914. They tied down and whittled away most of the Australian-Hungarian army and a fair proportion of the German army. And their big Brusilov offensive in 1916, with the Somme & Verdun, almost ended the war.

  11.  @sefacaplan464  That’s not entirely true. The French realised that the latest German tanks (like their own tanks) had shrunken in size by early 1938. They were in the process of extending the line to cover the Ardennes and crossing at Sedan when the invasion kicked off, but the e quality of construction was poorer than the rest of the line.

  12.  @LoLMasterManiac  Austria was probably the weakest & worst grea5 power.
