  2. It tells us that man It sucks to be shot at

  3. “They sent Erwin Rommel, who turned out to be an aggressive commander.” Thats a RAF level understatement
    105
  4. OKW: Okay you two can conduct reconnaissance in force but your hq must remain at the current position Guderian and Rommel: ok First sergeant: Do they know these two spend less time in the HQ than the toilet, and lead on the front? Week later OKW: how did the 7th Panzer and Guderian’s Panzer Corps get within sight of the Atlantic?

  5. No? What part of a T-62 and BTR-60s are ‘brand new’? You’re just making that up Everyone liking this doesn’t know what they’re talking about and thumbing it up cuz ‘sounds about right’
    41
  6. Chinese units were small
    35
  7. There’s so many other factors, considering the 15+ year conflict, especially the completely forgotten part that the US sent third rate troops to vietnam
    15
  8. If it further exaggerates the point, every army regulation made after June 1941 was made with the assumption the reader was on the eastern front, always referring to the Russian, their land, equipment, tactics, and preferences

  9. He just needs to mobilize the reserves
    13
  10.  @ascarakmalov9087 estimates I’ve seen put both sides as suffering 100,000 minimum KIA and probably the same again wounded, minimums. Equipment wise is a shitshow, Oryx is a minimum baseline to work with but god only knows who has lost what where.

  12. The loss ratio is for losses, not gains
    10
  13. Can’t Doesn’t exist in public sources
    10
  14.  @solwen  not even close to comparable since the French knew an attack was coming somewhere, the US had been on the offensive almost non stop since 1942
    10
  15. It’s not partial, it’s just baseline minimum You can’t say they lost less than, that, because we have proof, etc.

  16.  @googlesucks7840  they didn’t “leave it open”, their forces were concentrated in the French countryside west of the Meuse, the Ardennes was terrain that was full of rolling hills shite roads and dense vegetation, had the allied air forces assaulted the spotted Panzer Corps (multiple spots) more significantly while the Luftwaffe was focused on Army Group B’s sector, that push may not have gone so well

  17. ‘All the research’ they talk as if they were god watching from the clouds and reading everyone’s mind

  19.  @RCx44 coping with what? Reality?
    6
  20.  @oliverb.8995  oh but it did, which makes sense, would be pretty dumb to send first rate troops to a backwater and not, you know, Germany or Korea…

  21.  @elbarone9749  nah you just ate erect Saurkraut, Force fed

  22. I hate to be that guy, truly, but that’s not an army (it’s very small for me on mobile but I only see 3 Xs) that’s a Corps, army’s are 4 X’s A panzer corps too I do believe since the dark tokens were the armor formations, there never was a 48th Panzer Army, hell the 5th Panzer Army was made in winter 1944
    4
  23.  @sisyphusvasilias3943  weird since the Russians themselves admit they were there with active military, not just special forces either
    4
  24.  @Hillbilly001  …isn’t that just supporting what I said? We sent third rate troops, troops that weren’t able to handle the tasks provided, among other things like pulling ‘pogs’ in effect into infantry duties, which the official history of the USMC was harshly critical of, but I mean, how am I full of shit? You just seem to be providing examples of what my basic point was
    4
  25. You don’t have to capture every centimeter and gank everyone occupying it to end a conflict
    4
  26. @I hate both dogs and cats equally unlikely considering by day 4 the French were (trying) to attack, they just had no reserves, who were they going to use to attack?

  27.  @WagesOfDestruction  you have it backwards Your comment is not relevant to this video

  28.  Abu Troll al cockroachistan  I want to know the moron that said Stalingrad was a symbolic target, it wasn’t, it was the connection of the Soviet heartland to the Caucasus The German invasion was doomed when no one stopped Halder from focusing the offensive to AGC’s sector in attacking Moscow rather than AGS’s sector to capture the oil when everyone with half a Brain cell knew Germany’s oil shortages would become problematic
    3
  29. Current academics point to Operation Barbarossa’s excessive German losses of their most experienced and well trained units and best equipment being the turning point, 1942’s Case Blue was the last ditch effort to save the situation
    3
  30. Many decried the reds for breaking the oath Russia had made to its allies to fight the central powers, seeing it as betraying Serbia especially. Many tsarist officers wanted to continue the war (hence, Alexander Kolchak) The reason entente forces intervened was to regain Russia in the war
    3
  31. Actually he really didn’t, contemporary knowledge all pointed to a German success in summer 1941, but the biggest culprit behind the German failing was Halder’s asinine decision to focus the offensive in the center at Moscow instead of the south toward the caucuses as Hitler argued for

  33. Operation Dynamo: the evacuation of all allied forces in Belgium
    2
  34. You’re partially right, the Red army suffered extensively by the asinine decisions of Stavka and Stalin in 1941-1942, Zhukov was quite literally the only competent leader for a long time in the war and even then he made slip ups, one of his biggest was the idea that in winter 1941 it was a counter offensive and he tried to encircle the army group center instead of more realistic separate armies
    2
  35.  @СцукоНах  I don’t see how Army group north could cut the northern soviet port cities by capturing Leningrad, can you elaborate? Also the reproduction of the KV tanks would’ve been likely difficult as historically the Germans assessed the T34 and decided that attempting to copy it would be ineffective due to all the logistical and specialist issues, I doubt the KV series would be any different

  36. It’s about combat operations in Donbas area What relevance does a terror famine or a country that did not even control the Donbas have to combat operations

  39.  @PlacidoDomingo180  if that was the case the war would’ve ended months ago
    2
  40. ultimateroblocksgawd Germany was lost from the word go when they let Halder shove army group center full of units instead of army group south so they could secure the oil before the crisis instead of trying during it
    2
  41. ultimateroblocksgawd sure but how many of those were actually tapped into in 1941? The Middle East only became a hot bed of oil in the mid-late 20th century when it was discovered and tapped into
    2
  42.  @semiramisubw4864  no, one of the biggest things with the invasion was the massive construction project to shorten the rail gauges for European rail cars, rail cars were important for movement of men and supplies, the troops at Stalingrad in 1942 were supplied by train before being encircled

  46. Not true, the high command acknowledged the threat the panzers posed very quickly, the problem was the shite French doctrine of “sit thumb in ass until orders come from command” while the orders go through dogshit communication systems, the French forces were never able to properly mount the multiple counterattacks that were ordered but by the time the order got there it was beyond too late, CAs were ordered at the Meuse, near Cambri, Arras (which the British actually began) and more

  47. In America public schools are dogshit especially in history as they brush over everything with the most basic things Fuck me the battle for Stalingrad had all of one slide in my history teacher (7th grade?) PowerPoint, it doesn’t help the history on the eastern front that only recently we got access to the Soviet Archives

  48.  @elitalks258  not in America, in America schools are run by disgusting government bureaucracy and of something doesn’t garner votes it’s not given resources or time of day to be good or even decent

  53.  @PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi  lol No Germany lost their resources and industry to the west and their men to the east, the manpower losses were in 1941, they lost 40 total divisions, and their division’s combat readiness went from a military with a majority of forces suited for all operations to suited for defense operations, search “Road to Stalingrad” by military history visualized

  54. Just imagine it took the Germans and Soviets over a million men to move through the zone, and the Ukrainians had only 60,000 men to work with

  55.  @АндрейЕрмилов-х8п  arguably, but they had Russian armed forces supporting them too

  56. “As they lost more than half of their army” what are you even on about? The Germans lost 20,000 men and had 112,000 wounded in the army, this was similar to the polish campaign, except Poland wasn’t a coalition of two of the world’s leading militaries with 3 other nations in support “delayed the attack on the UK” you wot there never could’ve been an attack on the UK, the navy was reduced to a shell in surface ships, not to mention the Germans assumed Britain would make peace after the French defeat, and didn’t have an invasion plan ready until mid summer 1940, and even then it was dogshit and ultimately scrapped
    1
  57.  @TheKenji2221  you mean the massive material boost when the BEF was effectively disarmed after their evacuation? Or the you know, entire nation’s resources they now had not only access but land access to? Yeah I know, but you still haven’t exactly clarified your asinine “half the army” statement
    1
  58.  @TheKenji2221  “they delayed for a year” the battle for Britain was in summer 1940, France fell proper on June 5th I think, what delay are you on about? The navy still would be unable to attack, the navy could not meet the army’s requirement of landing 23 divisions in the first wave And still, please explain this “half of the army” shit, 20,000 is a third of a minimum authorized strength for a German army
    1
  59.  @TheKenji2221  I’m going to stop replying until your dumbass actually explains this “half its army” statement You can’t because it’s not true in anyway but I’ll wait Also the attack still happened less than a month later, so you’re still wrong, you have nothing except non sequiturs
    1
  60.  @TheKenji2221  also you’re wrong again the OKW considered operation Seelowe to be child’s play however air superiority over south England was a requirement from Hitler so phase 1 was the air battle, I have more than a brain cell I have the actual historical events, you have...fantasy, at best

  67. It wasn’t the Canadians, it was Ike who decided this “Stimson was poised to race for Berlin, but Eisenhower stopped him...Eisenhower ordered Montgomery(‘s) 21st army group north to cut off Denmark from the Soviets” I’ll edit in the link to the video that mentions this quote from...someone I forget https://youtu.be/6hyultx5eVU enjoy

  68. ‘Tanks?’

  69. Approximately 14,000 for every German Corps and 10,000(?) for every Soviet Army in 1942, that’s assuming they were full strength, which wasn’t the case many times for the infantry (Rifle Corps) or any German unit
    1
  70.  Abu Troll al cockroachistan  I don’t remember the full quote but a historian (Glantz? Hill?) says this “Had army group center launched Operation Typhoon in August, they would be against soviet defenders who did not waste their manpower in fruitless counterattacks, while pushing an ever expanding corridor with hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers threatening its flanks, and would approach ‘the gates’ of Moscow around the time the muddy season begins, slowing the logistics down to a crawl during what would be the heaviest fighting” And no they couldn’t send what they had south, they needed everything they had north to prevent the Soviets from reinforcing and resupplying the Caucasus, that’s why cutting the Volga and Don were so important

  71. If Russians aren’t losing they wouldn’t be begging since…a long time for a ceasefire to reconstitute their forces

  72. Read a history book, it was the entry of America that changed the outcome of the war, as the French knew they could demand harsher terms, that the british knew the war must end quickly before the Americans seize more influence, and the Germans knew they couldn’t hold out against all three of the powers Forgot the name of the book but it does exist, sorry I forgot

  73. Entire nation’s armed forces would be lost in such a case, like the baltics

  74. @ends1eg uh, what army do you work for where that’s the case? US divisions are around 20,000 men each

  75. What copium from a fucking infographic that shows high losses for their side Shills man, shills everywhere

  76. ultimateroblocksgawd and they were smashed by the Army Group South and ultimately yeeted in Kiev only with the armored forces of army group center, imagine the difference swapping the two around would’ve made in terms of securing the caucuses before fuel hit a critical point and before the serious manpower issues, the assault on the Caucasus in our timeline were hinged upon the idea the Soviets wouldn’t retreat as they did in 1941, but they didn’t, they fell back before being encircled and throwing the German plan into disarray I’m under the significant belief that if Hitler had his way (the offensive focus being on the northern and southern sectors to deny the red army the ability to replenish forces, instead of the center, or even just the southern sector) instead of Halder then the war would look very different, the Soviets especially would’ve found it much harder to hold out if they even could
    1
  77. ultimateroblocksgawd I never said that, I compared the importance of the Middle East before and after the discovery of its vast oil, of Siberia’s resources weren’t known or tapped yet then they aren’t relevant
    1
  78. ultimateroblocksgawd I do not understand what this is referring to, is it the Soviets? Well yeah, that’s what the Germans would want the ahistoric army group south to conquer with their large size, since that’s what germany needed to continue waging war If it’s the Germans then this is just flat out wrong

  86.  @Hillbilly001  then I guess every historian in human history is full of shit, and of course the classic quote: “you cannot write history in the trenches.” Also no, third rate doesn’t mean militia, third rate means third rate, ie ‘of inferior or very poor quality.’ If you tell me barely trained men that lot of times came out of the admin companies and shit given infantry duties were not of inferior or poor quality as infantry (the most important part of the war on the ground in Vietnam) then you’re just denying reality at that point No, I’m not full of shit, hence the logic and citations, whereas you are just appealing to authority ‘they were there so they know everything’ I find it hard to believe a NCO from a war where it was standard practice to rotate after a year is familiar from DC-Firebase in every level in 1978 Sorry guy, that’s not an argument
