  1. Self propellled artillery should be called SPARTY and I’m not giving up on this
    731
  2. “We are missing 439 men” I feel like this was a common saying after 1942
    593
  3. For missing T-80s, it’s worth remembering when the Russian economic woes of post USSR happened, the Russian military was still humongous even as it was being downsized, perhaps they began just cancelling spare parts contracts and just cannibalized existing vehicles, as there was no one to man them anyway, or for parts to sell abroad to anyone who wanted to purchase them, or to former soviet republics whos armed forces inherited some Last important thing that many normies miss is that Russian ‘stored’ tanks are not like say American stored tanks, they’re basically just left in mass vehicle graveyards sitting around, pre war Russians held some 15+ brigades worth of ex soviet heavy equipment for mobilization, so the implication is beyond that there aren’t lots of well preserved vehicles

  4. “Any tank is better than no tank” Logistics corps: sweats nervously
    479
  5. Sad German is my favorite icon That and the uh...other ‘escort’ icon...
    411
  6. “Except for Fallout 76” truer words could not be spoken
    352
  7. „Hey Hans, we are a dealing with a really tough fuel situation, what should we do?” „Franz is it not obvious? Make weapons that shoot oil and fuel!”
    340
  8.  @ragnarokstravius2074  “it all started with a guy named Charlemagne...” “Wait what? What’s that gotta do with the Wehrmacht?” “WE GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE!”
    250
  9. “24km away” stormtrooper icon
    205
  10. “A ‘panzerstein’ monster” I’m wheezing
    202
  11. Nebelwerfer tactics: “do you see that building, Hanz?” “Ja” “Then you understand the problem, solve it”
    174
  12. “...Unless you don’t believe in logistics” Well I work in the Reichstag, so guess what?! I DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR FAIRY TALE OF ‘Logistics’
    156
  13. “If I pronounced your name wrong; you’re welcome”
    139
  14. This war is MHV’s worst nightmare A whole bunch of Slavic names to pronounce
    97
  15. That’s quite a bold and provocative title…almost like you want to ambush us…
    95
  16. Air deployable Panzer II with rockets Because blitzkrieg didn’t die with the Reich
    78
  17. Chinese currently have no reason to conduct such…activities…the primary threat is has and remains the Americans for China, relations with Russia being good is very desirable, so they can mostly be ignored while the Chinese solidify their position
    67
  18. A sad fate, surviving the most devastating war while captured by the west, and when you finally get to go home, the Russians snatch you
    60
  19. “Or other late war problems” Shows a ATG munition
    56
  20. Is the suspect reposition line (16:45) a reference/informative to the studying soldier how tanks are blind despite their firepower so you shouldn’t attempt to evade suppression fire and instead just keep pounding the enemy tanks in an effort to put the tank crew on the back foot? I remember chieftain said during his soviet armor doctrine about the Spanish civil war that the T-26 crews could hardly see the anti tank guns since they were so small, which would suggest the best thing for the crew isn’t to move but to stand and fight and try to understand the whole “they can’t see us that well” Staying hidden helps too with the lack of muzzle brake as you mentioned
    50
  21.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  you ever hit your own plane with the Flak Bus while using an AP round? I did
    48
  22. When the MP40 was the most accurate and in general best SMG of the war too, Hollywood continues to be awful
    48
  23. Be warned there’s probably an unknown amount of grass is greener on the other side, it’s easy to point out the flaws in something you know about
    42
  24. I think it’s just because they’re similar in capability and people like to make analogous comparisons Most people forget panzer 3 was a medium tank despite being pretty small for a medium tank
    41
  25.  @Ranyick  Panther tank designation began with D, and then went to A
    40
  26. I wanna know about the threat to Moldova frankly…especially considering that map Lukashenko showed off where an arrow went into transistria…
    39
  27. That would actual have a bigger impact than most may think at first glance It’s the easiest way for the common soldier to see the difference, it was common for officers of merchant fleets centuries ago to eat good while the basic sailors ate watery flour essentially and that was never appreciated
    39
  28.  @astartesfanboy5294  it’s too innocent we must preserve it no one tell
    33
  29. Oh yes another video I can watch with my girlfriend, thanks Bernhard!
    32
  30. Ein Minenwerfer, it werfs minen
    32
  31. “Enough to make you obsolete and not a world power”
    31
  32. I wasn’t a fan of the movie either, and in this scene my first question was “If both sides are fighting each other and we’re coming to help…why not flank the enemy and roll them?”
    29
  33. That was a big problem after the invasion of the Soviet Union was the feeling that the panzers were inferior to the Russian tanks especially after 1941, that’s why the whole point in guderians text was for the troops to regain a feeling of weapon superiority over the Russians
    28
  34. I mean they left Belarus and Russia Should they be rejected purely for their nationality/ethnicity? That’s exactly what Russia accuses everyone of
    27
  35. Sheep op plz nerf visual range
    26
  36.  @spitefulwar  155mm shell noise
    26
  37. Wasn’t there only 800 people who made it back to axis lines after the breakout? Guy was lucky to make it
    25
  38.  @Furzkampfbomber  I detest the Russians on just about everything, but more subjectively I could never blame them for the treatment of German POWs, considering what the reverse situation looked like But yeah, it’s always the top guys who get off scot free, while the lower guys are the ones who take the beating
    25
  39. @ wrong, tell that to the starving Soviet citizens “Hey, you guys wanna lose out on 40% of our food supplies? We are already suffering significant hunger” Or the Air Force “hey guys wanna lose almost all of our aluminum and aviation fuel supplies because we don’t make that kind of fuel?” I humbly disagree with this myth Or the factories “hey guys wanna lose out on our machine tool suppliers?” Or the guys making explosives “hey guys wanna lose out on 2/3s of our materials for making explosives?” The Soviets didn’t stop them in 1941, considering they continued pushing in 1942, besides 40% of all medium+ armor was western sourced at the battle of Moscow. I humbly disagree
    25
  40. MHV: “ah finally, the Christmas season break has arrived” German government: ”I’m about to end this man’s whole career”
    24
  41. Bit hard to say the war was lost in 1940 when the two main forces that would defeat the Germans weren’t in the war I think After all, within outside support (especially American) the Soviets wouldn’t have survived the war, whether or not the Germans lost
    24
  42.  @georgepalmer5497  no, the M60 is still the M60 even with upgrades, Chieftain went over why this is a silly idea
    23
  43. Comparisons make tons of sense, most Tank platoons fight other tank platoons when tank units come against each other An entire battalion isn’t gonna be 5m away from each other on both sides, at the end of the day when a tank goes to shoot another tank, the tank comparison will matter quite a lot
    23
  44.  @astartesfanboy5294  he used that icon when talking about fighter escorts in I think the Battle of Britain video or some other Luftwaffe video
    22
  45. This comment is what I would call making excuses more so than explanations Rifle grenades were nothing new, and every army had intended to support the infantry’s movement with the tanks, no he ammo is: hilarious in all honesty, especially since that’s a majority of all targets you’d be dealing with even in a world war 1 redux
    22
  46. as a Jew this comment concerns me
    22
  47. “Losses before the battle?!” Rainbow dash token I agree
    21
  48. @ that’s great, now tell me how the red Air Force is supposed to not let the Germans rain hellfire again with no fuel and how the Soviet artillery is supposed to…artillery without any explosive material, or how the people are supposed to eat with no food, or how the factories make equipment without tools Stopping them once isn’t enough (just ask the French), you can still be broken, and they would have no ifs ands or buts
    21
  49. Just for accuracy the National Guard is a part of the US army, they’re not separate (the Air National Guard is the same for the Air Force) in any meaningful way for him
    20
  50. Guess the Germans didn’t have anything wrong with their bloody ships…
    19
  51. We live in the worst timeline when history has to have a disclaimer before you get to see it otherwise bam demonetization bam sued bam life over Yuck

  52.  Mialisus  sure but bullets don’t penetrate the armor 76mm packets of communism can penetrate the armor
    18
  53. I love this video in the level of insight we have
    18
  54. Makes sense considering Japan, being an island nation with ambition, pursued a powerful Navy, so if you need to make a brand new type of metal machine with big gun, well why not scale down a ship and use that as a base guide for how things should go?
    18
  55. “Sorry i didn’t bring a banana but being in former east Germany that wouldn’t be appropriate” Oh…oh god…you’re a fucking legend^2 what I already believed
    18
  56. Because the Stug life didn’t choose the west
    17
  57. It’s not to ‘de escalate’ by definition, it’s to ‘de escalate’ by essentially saying ‘surrender, give us what we want, or we will turn your land to glass’
    17
  58. Everyone deserves to rain super accurate fire from a MP40
    17
  59. Not possible, no fuel for many weak tanks, strategic position demanded quality, quantity not an option
    16
  60. 3:10 “make sure the area underneath is wet to reduce friction-I mean to avoid dust” I’ve not seen any comments referencing this, and I’m ashamed it’s taken a couple years to notice it
    16
  61. Why the US was always better than the Soviets The Soviets had numbers, and no quality The United States had numbers, and high quality, to quote chieftain “you name something and we had the best of it in the world (during WW2)”
    16
  62. Remember though they were liberators and definitely aren’t evil
    15
  63.  @RaitoYagami88  only because he has the best access to German archives and extensive library, he does other time periods and militaries
    15
  64. Jagdpanther has big thiccy
    15
  65. Not sure how you’d conclude that it would be fabricated if the witnesses concluded that it was intentional by the tank crew, in fairness if I’m going down in a flaming tank then why not slam the gas into the enemy infantry, panic is powerful
    15
  66. “Task failed successfully”

  68.  @FuelAirSparkTime  I’m a Slavic Jew that makes Holocaust jokes I don’t care, and I’d love to get in trouble for that in Germany just for the memes, being a Slavic Jew
    13
  69. I don’t think there’s a single tanker who’d like to be shot directly by this thing
    12
  70. Just as a quick side note, this video is titled Wehrmacht War Crimes Not Wehrmacht and Soviet War Crimes Your whataboutism is pathetic, do not use it, I myself could go on for probably the end of my life about Japanese and Soviet war crimes (which in my opinion were more brutal than the Nazi’s) but that’s not the point here
    12
  71. Probably the invasion of Hokkaido, the first island is the climb (Olympic), the big island is the jewel (Coronet), and the last is the end (Sunset) If there is a name for a hypothetical invasion of Hokkaido idk what it is
    12
  72. I mean leopard had no war time crunch combined with years of extra development time and tech
    12
  73. Title: “WEHRMACHT WAR CRIMES” Where does it say ‘Allies’ in that title bucko? It doesn’t, it’s not about the allies Whataboutism isn’t an argument
    12
  74.  @herptek  the Ukrainians disagree considering interviews with officers and the RUSI article that I forget the name of right now
    12
  75.  @commodorezero  well yes now, but that map was revealed in the first few days when of course, much grander goals were had
    12
  76. ‘Experience has shown that a close quarters attack by a determined man against a tank will basically always succeed’
    11
  77. Is that a reference to the RW61?
    11
  78. Did Donbass forces suffer losses in armor? Did they even have armor? Binkov’s Ukraine Vs Russia video only mentioned the Donbass had ~24,000 men in their military between the two but no numbers on equipment
    11
  79. Minecraft Ostfront edition? You mean…MeinFront?

  80. More inside the visualized hatch, please! Also more Cold War, this is good stuff!
    11
  81.  @dannya1854  bruh, the big criticism of Finland was they didn’t help the Germans encircle Leningrad xD
    11
  82.  @tectonpro8507  in Russian historiography it’s probably “the war of Finnish aggression”
    11
  83. Must be new here Soviet Womble gets roasted on this channel xD
    10
  84. Henry Wood I wouldn’t call Peasants ‘Marxists’ but you do you And just a reminder those Marxist’s killed those Nazis with capitalist bullets tanks and fuel transported on capitalist trucks which also carried the capitalist food that fed them and their home front that stopped the total collapse of the Soviet economy and what not Whoops went a little far there, history lessons shouldn’t be given in comment sections
    10
  85. Real question is why do you talk about stuff you obviously knew little to nothing of except that you think you did cuz you watched a simple history video?

  90.  @kamikaziking  oh boy wait until you see where most of Germany’s resources went to, hint not the eastern front Even manpower, hilariously, in 1943 60% of manpower was deployed outside the eastern front
    9
  91. I love how they didn’t even try hand to hand combat, at the realization of lacking firearms they just dove for cover

  92.  @LowStuff  yes

  93.  @truckerallikatuk  that too but he mentioned corruption in the video, this is extra

  104.  @ScumfuckMcDoucheface  if you whack the body and not the impact fuze (ie a swipe and not a butt) then I mean…maybe? It’s not gonna go very far though
    8
  105. The question isn’t “were they useful” because of course they were the question was were they necessary? The Soviet Union was fighting for its very existence when the Nazis came knocking, so the debate goes “was lend lease something that wasn’t fully necessary to win or was it something needed to win?”
    8
  106.  @bastiaan7777777 less bad than you think, they don’t exactly put 1 foreign tank in each company, it’s just one maintenance crew that has to bang their head against the computer screen reading all the manuals Besides most tough maintenance is sent out of country (by both sides) for safety (and the fact that nowhere in country can one have facilities for Leopards, T90s, or Challengers)
    7
  107. The Russian military doctrine, though they’ll never admit it out of pride and arrogance, literally copy pasted the German military in every sense, as said by a German officer during Kursk “They (the Soviets) try to emulate us but they do not know how”
    7
  108. Call it the Leopard 1UA5 when it’s ready for delivery to the Ukrainians Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
    7
  109. I think the brow armor was a reference to Brezhnev but the Russian tankers were too scared to say that aloud because they’d get shot*
    7
  110.  @matthiuskoenig3378  panzer 3 is probably the second lightest medium designated tank in weight armor and armament, maybe second to a Japanese or British design, but it was still treated as a medium tank

  111. Jeez guess we found one of the guys conscripted into Russian army

  112.  @marcusott2973  no, because it’s not about resources

  121.  @brettdubuque1231  because their nation had no resources vs the enemies which had lots of resources America was 70% the worlds oil supply in 1940, and which side was america on? The German automobile industry was very weak, the Americans was the strongest in the world

  126.  @Noodle5593  I’m not sure, who was the one providing all the escort carriers and selling all the boats to Britain? It may have a Union Jack and credit to their tea addicted crews but the fact remains many boats were born in the western Atlantic Not to mention A Britain wasn’t outnumbered in the Med, it’s much easier to fight in the Med for aircraft than in the pacific and oh yeah that part where the IJN had aircraft carriers we had to fight Besides the Americans (or more accurately Roosevelt, illegally) supplemented the Atlantic trade route defenses, that and the whole boat selling and later provision is what kept Britain from being economically collapsed by Das booties Still, the IJN was much spookier than the other two axis navies combined, and the USN was the one who annihilated that, not the RN

    5
  142. Something I’ve realized from this war as one of the largest takeaways for everyone who isn’t america, and even america, is that the often decried ‘muh military industrial complex!’ Which everyone complains owns the world, somehow, is actually proven to be too small, most European militaries have less than a week’s worth of ammunition to fight with, and the Americans don’t have the ammo supplies to indirectly support for long duration while having stocks left for themselves, and not just artillery ammo, but the consumption rate of cruise missiles is astounding

    5
  156. My response to this sorta ‘you shouldn’t mock it because it’s effective’ position is simply thus: We don’t mock it because it doesn’t or couldn’t work, we mock it because for the self stylized second best military in the world…they can’t even have decent equipment provision for what they, at least outwardly, don’t even call a war (tho ofc it is)
    5
  157. Huh a “Fleet in Being” doctrine versus a global naval power in a naval arms race Wait I think I’ve seen this before! Unfortunately for China I don’t think the PLAN can handle such a defense currently without being able to break the island chains, a naval blockade could still be conducted from at worst the second island chain in conjunction with Japan, of course this requires Japan but I don’t think that’s an issue

  159. Even though Napoleon turned his brain off and just walked in a straight line to Moscow, assuming the Russians would capitulate Land wars have been fought in Russia and have ended in Russian defeat, were it not for allied assistance the soviets would’ve fallen, there’s no arguing that the aid weapons bullets vehicles provided by the Americans and the intelligence provided by the british were not necessary to the Soviet’s survival

  175.  @duckygaming3536  who killed them all? The USN, not the RN, just like the IJA, the Chinese and Americans killed them, not the British, just because they had a few engagements doesn’t mean they’re responsible for it, they get a teensy bit of credit for everyone they killed, but as an actual branch of the military, they were both destroyed by America, and for the army, China

  225.  @paulpaterson1661  okay, assuming you’re one carrier was temporarily loaned to the nation who made half of yours and over 100 of things to begin with, the British sunk 4 ships destroyer or larger and 8 submarines of the entire IJN, the USA did the rest So again, the USA shit canned the largest and most lethal (as demonstrated in 1942) navy on the planet, I’m missing why this is hard to understand, and what you’re one loaned ship means for anything

  239.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  but why have the whole platoon on line (yes I know the distances) why not advance diagonally on either side of the infantry and catch the strong point in a crossfire, surely driving straight into the enemy’s face is the worst idea

  244. The first batch is probably to train a cadre of Ukrainians in preparation for larger deliveries so they don’t get bombed while in storage awaiting trained crews Ukraine’s principle deficiencies for its ground combat forces are 1. Ammunition supply and 2. Equipment provisioning, so few in number they are, it does provide more armored vehicles which is in desperate need
    3
  245. Starting a war in the bad season forcing everything to go via roads as they invade their neighboring democratic nation that they assumed would roll over with a horribly corrupt overestimated military? Tsk tsk Russia…never change, you’ll keep losing if you don’t, and that’s good for the world

  249. Battle of the bulge was probably the dumbest overall decision by Hitler, it essentially gave the Soviets free territory, had even half of those troops manned the eastern front, the western allies could maybe have reached Berlin first
    2
  250. Henrey bradley also says the nation that calls Neville chamberlain a failure for things like early Atlantic failings and the battle for Norway when the first lord of the admiralty was fucking winston Churchill, it was Churchill who is responsible completely for both the war happening in Norway and for the loss of Norway in general, but no he was the bulldog that singlehandedly saved Europe, when his fucking army was supplied by American industry and hes the reason Norway fell

  253. The Historian um...no A Norway civilian’s life was not threatened 24/7 by the existence of the German occupation, with the notable exception of civilian reprisals due to resistance actions, the lives of the civilians weren’t bargaining chips, nor were the civilians the prime target of the hostile action, unlike an actual hostage taker

  254.  @SynchroScore  talk about missing the point

  263. Also is it implied when the gunner declared he was at 12 o clock in his statement in relation to the ramming/the 75mm shot from the British commander? It seemed that the commander believed or made it sound like the Tiger 2 reacted to the failed 75mm shot and began traversing
    2
  264. I think a bigger issue was the lack of the local support, most Vietnamese didn’t seem to like the Americans, probably because of the former owners of the French, and it’s said somewhere that “our marines know little about the language, history, and culture (of the Vietnamese).”, which like we saw in the Middle East makes it harder for the civilian population to not grow resentful of these foreign ‘invaders’ and gives the idea they’re not there to help them This just reminded me of a quote from General Mattis; “Culturally savvy marines are a threat to our enemies.”, Americans weren’t cultural savvy in Vietnam, those who did as said and commonly noted, were rotated out of country after a year.

  270. For what it’s worth Macgruder’s principle might be what led to the aircraft difference, though not necessarily intentional deception by the British. When you can’t see much but you see the enemy going multiple ways multiple times you’re more likely to think it’s a different guy rather than one guy doing loopey-d-loops
    2
  271.  @konosmgr  yeah the Russians like to empty ammo depots in the ground, we know that, accuracy is more important And of course ask the eastern general that went west who wanted to visit the front in his plane just like he does in the east what happened to him, don’t go Russian fanboying here

  276. Nope, see Arracourt

  277. Ok ok ok, but what about BritsKrieg?
    2
  278. This isn’t entirely fair, in the magical scenario of no boats and no planes the Germans could just pick anywhere to invade and not necessarily southern England, besides total air domination would uh...suck for the civilians and be helpful with air supply Worthless hypothetical but still I don’t think saying that only 3 divisions could make it is even close to fair in this hypothetical

  279. That’s not true in the slightest

    2
  281.  @warcrimeenjoyer881  “they probably copied a bit but not everything” I’m not gonna argue reality with you, if you think the progenitors of armored maneuver units using heavy artillery to encircle the enemy, were not copied by a military whos doctrine to this day is heavy artillery with mobile armor encircling the enemy, then you’re just naive And that’s completely irrelevant to what I replied to you with, that your bias is obvious and by the way not founded in reality, again, but at least you admitted that, it’s still a fucking pathetic view on the world
    2
  282.  @warcrimeenjoyer881  what Patton wanted is literally the point of the original comment about Patton, so I don’t know where your confusion is And I’m missing where my bias is, I know where it is and I know where it’s applicable, here it’s not because reality doesn’t care about bias

  293.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  ^there is also that problem of people trying to kill you
    2
  294. I hate to break this to you but democracy (which nearly no one now adays is, they’re mostly constitutional republics, there’s a world of difference there) is a form of governance, capitalism and its compatriots are forms of economics You can have a capitalist, authoritarian entity, sorta, they would tend to butt heads with each other but they’re not mutually exclusive
    2
  295.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  Plymouth?
    2
  296. Eh I wouldn’t go so far the other way, as militaries around the world have shown for decades, the battleship for example is totally obsolete, heavy long rifles are generally obsolete for standard infantry, etc
    2
  297.  @micfail2  exactly right it’s one of the many myths/Soviet bias that the soviet invasion actually mattered, as if the Japanese would get shit canned by the USA and then surrender only when Russia, a very weak naval power (who they curbstomped) would invade the puppet state

  300. Still need the ammo

  310. 5:03 so they ignored elite units when their tank force was split quite hard on super advanced equipment like T-64 and large amounts of garbage equipment Hmmmmmmmmm

  315. So anti Bolshevist nazis were not going to invade the Soviet Union, something Hitler wanted since his (trash ass) book, what were they going to do? They couldn’t maintain their army, the biggest mistake when it comes to the Soviet Union is shoving the main effort against Moscow instead of the Caucasus, not that this necessarily would’ve worked, but it was a better try
    2
  316. Right and then what happens to Army Group A? Oops like 95% of people don’t even know A there were two army groups and B the fact that even historically the Soviets after the encirclement did a dive to the Black Sea to cut off Army Group A
    2
  317.  @martentrudeau6948  hindsight warrior, the intelligence didn’t know about the attack, from their contemporary view they only believed one offensive in the winter and it would be targeted at the middle salient, which it was, and was, and was by the way the larger of the offensives

    2
  323.  @paulpaterson1661  congratulations, guys surrendered to the British It’s like the Soviet cock suckers saying “oh the Japanese surrendered to the Russians in Manchuria” after the Americans forced the emperor to sue for peace

The whole title of the EC video is never even elaborated on, there’s no resource war in that video, nor was it ever strategic bombing Also the whole myth is “the London raiding was a response to the Berlin raid” which is just blatantly false considering that London was raided previous to the Berlin raid anyway

  335. “No one should take sides when discussing history” Wehrmacht war crimes: “oh thank god please defend us” There are objective truths about ideologies, it doesn’t matter what we’re talking about, history or casual topics, when I or anyone says socialism is flawed because there was a shortage of paper in the richer sides of its economy then there’s no arguing that, sorry dude, this is objective, it’s hard to have an agenda quoting the East Germans about their paper shortage

  343.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  oh while I have you, you might enjoy this 10$ game Drive on Moscow by Sheanadoah Stuidos, it’s a (significant) improvement on their past work Battle of the Bulge, being a turn based strategy game set during Operation typhoon with the Unit formations that were there, and even (free even) a history section on their website detailing the actual events that occurred during the timeline I like it because encircling the enemy is not only useful but encouraged, which I feel is lost on modern strategy games Also Battle of the Bulge has a similar history page on their website as well

Ricardo VS lol okay Guderian, any more myths you want to peddle? ‘Test’ tanks that blasted their way through Poland and France, oh by the way as expensively as they could’ve made a tank they did, the Panzer 1 had nickel enriched armor, with fully functional turrets! “You don’t need those for drivers training” -An author I forget, to put the final nail in the coffin of this ridiculous statement, why would the “Training” tank use the MG13ks, and not the MG34s, like every tank after? Surely it would be better to train the crew with the expected machine gun, but no, the Panzer 1 had 13ks, because they were super reliable compared to the 34, which made them good in the machine gun only tank for......combat

  396. Henrey bradley no, you didn’t, you wrote an article that has just a couple blatant problems but the biggest is that it’s an alternate history scenario, I’m talking about the actual war, where the US fed both Russia and Britain’s people when the Germans came knocking in their respective attacks Also to destroy the foundation of it the BEF escaped regardless, the war cabinet and Royal Navy would not sit idle watching their army get killed The only thing your article even argues is the only good part of winston Churchill, that his refusal to surrender was the correct decision, and it’s one I agree with, but FDR wanted in on the war as soon as motherfucking possible, and Pearl Harbor was ALWAYS going to happen, because like the others, the US was Japan’s lifeline, and when they froze their assets and cut trade, they needed to find a new lifeline, which meant war with the US
    1
  397. Henrey bradley you fockin wot m8? Yes, precisely, the largest economy on the planet did less to supply the Soviets than the fourth largest when the Soviets were the second largest, yes exactly galaxy brain, but you’re right the 30,000 or so Sherman’s (JUST Sherman’s) that were lend lease just didn’t see action on the eastern front, neither did those M3 Lees, or those American trucks, or American food products (because Britain is known for its food production huh?) or their bullets, or guns, or, there’s no point arguing with a brick wall, who thinks he’s hot shit for writing an alt history article as if it matters And no I don’t refuse to acknowledge any of that, I never said that, quit strawmanning me please

  401. With what was he supposed to break in with? The reserves were deployed to army group center, the corps who had to reorganize the line didnt last long, and their destruction would mean the isolation of army group B (in the Blau plan) in the caucuses, as awful as it sounds the 6th army was worth less than every asset in the Caucuses Not to mention 6th army had insufficient transport, few horses for their Artillery and no where near enough trucks for the wounded, the fuel was apparently desperate considering the Luftwaffe flew in 10x more fuel than they did food in terms of weight
    1
  402.  @jimiraj  what assets did Paulus have? 6th army could not move, the airlift implies there was no fuel (fuel was flown in more than 10x the amount of food and Ammo during the airlift), and they had none of their draft horses, the wounded, artillery, anti tank guns, and most supplies would be abandoned
    1
  403.  @jimiraj  no guy, no, he had no artillery, none of his artillery, his AT guns, none of his wounded, could move, and none of the fourth panzer army were in any way combat capable, they had just been mauled to hell and stuck encircled, they obviously had no fuel to work with considering how much was brought in, there was no breakout possible, they would’ve just been killed sooner, strategically it was best for 6th army to die like they did so they could tie down as many soviets as they could to allow Army Group B to escape the Caucasus Do people forget that Stalingrad wasn’t the point of Fall Blau?

You don’t, geopolitically useful not to have china send it’s army again, but it was always going to fail with such horrendously restricted RoE Hence President Bush’s comment (referring to the gulf war) “This time we won’t be fighting with one hand tied behind our back.”

  423. The capture of Moscow is a significant strategic loss, IF the army groupe center can hold it, assuming they could they’ll still have themselves quite the overextended line for their logistics, and the Red Air Force was still recovering and I see no reason why it wouldn’t finish recovering even if Moscow was lost unless there’s some major aircraft production there that I don’t know about, I don’t think the Germans could’ve held Moscow until the summer, when the supply trains could more easily reach them, coupled with the Siberian forces coming in it doesn’t look to good from my view, and the Russians certainly wouldn’t capitulate at the loss of Moscow
    1
  424. Julian Cate well I was going off the alternate timeline scenarios suggested in the OP, which I would assume wouldn’t lead to the plan swap to encircling Moscow Regardless you’re not wrong just about all of it is conjecture, but my main thing is I’m not sure AGC could hold Moscow which is the more problematic situation they’ll find themselves in after the significant losses it would take to capture it, just judging by previous engagements like Minsk and Smolensk And it’s not that the Soviets would wait until summer 42 it’s that the Germans in order to solidify their position they’d need to hold until summer 42 so the supply trains (not locomotives but the general flow) could be increased enough to solidify their position And finally i didn’t read any of the replies just the original comment, so idk what could’ve or was said there

  425. Julian Cate no it’s a theory that in the alternate early timeline they wouldn’t but in fairness the battle for Moscow isn’t exactly something I know too much about compared to other stuff

  467. I pine for a game that is a 5 player coop in a Panzer 3 where the roles are way more in depth, like the driver has to go through all the motions while fulfilling his responsibilities, the loader maintaining the ready rack, properly assessing the correct ammo for the correct target, etc, and try to show the whole being more than the sum of its parts, where success is determined by cooperation and unity could have the crewman be various characters that are exemplary of various German mindsets at the time, perhaps a hardcore Nazi, a Nazi critic, a commander who doesn’t give a fuck and is only there to win for Germany, a veteran of the Great War who just wanted vengeance on old enemies, and a young impressionable kid Maybe as the game progresses they can be upgraded to the Panzer 4 and maybe further, maybe they’re apart of general Heinz Guderian’s Panzer corps, seeing and showing players firsthand the challenges and differences of the eastern and western fronts
    1
  468. And the game should use some war thunder or whatever more accurate forms of tank combat, not no battlefield 5 stuff, except the ranges are even more ridiculous, scenario depending Also it could be a great way to clarify both ways myths of the war, show perhaps the flaws of the German invasion of France, show how both the winter and red army demolished the Germans, or whatever

  477. Not really because it was built for general combat ‘Horses for courses’ is just a way of saying ‘it sucks but we managed to do something with it even though we wanted needed and even sometimes had better equipment’ or well, usually no one did anything with them.
    1
  478.  @wierdalien1  yeah really
    1
  479. @ no that’s exactly what it means when people use it, just because it upsets you doesn’t make any less true
    1
  480. @ again you saying it is just coping Here let me play it for you ‘French tanks had 2 men to make them cheaper and reduce manning requirements, this didn’t make them better or worse than other tanks, its just horses for courses’ Curious how no one says that though for that example…almost like they know its bullshit
    1
  481. @ no because protectionism, the smoothbore is better and cheaper in every way I love how you conveniently ignore the obvious destruction of your logic I made, wonder why Thanks for playing
    1
  482. Was there a reason the Recon variant provided a separate 40mm grenade launcher rather than just under barreled grenade launcher on the crew’s assault rifles?
    1
  483.  @dereinepeterpan5637  ah, I’m still in the “everyone has an AR platform” mindset, like an idiot
    1
  484. So I have a question for the modern age, despite the high lethality of modern warfare, casualties seem pretty light in comparison to…what you’d expect from precision weapons and determined infantry attacks being mixed together, I used to just attribute this to the lower intensity combat that has been conducted for the last 30 years but that still doesn’t cut it, and doesn’t at all explain the current war.
    1
  485. Zero effort is too generous

  486.  @walterCronkitesleftshoe6684  who asked?
    1
  487.  @walterCronkitesleftshoe6684  yeah, who asked? Answers don’t need question marks buddy, basic English here, you just said something totally random that no one referenced or mentioned, so I say again, who asked? Don’t talk shit about other’s English when you don’t understand how sentences work
    1
  488.  @walterCronkitesleftshoe6684  no you dunce, sarcastically saying ‘who asked?’ Is a way to say no one asked for your statement, it’s really that simple, but your planet sized ego can’t handle that basic logic.
    1
  489. I’m impressed it was only 200 million
    1
  490. That sounds like a Kitchen Nightmares title
    1
  491. Someone didn’t see the results of the battle of Kursk between these things and the soviet tank force Yeah the Soviets won but the Ferdinand’s exacted a grievous toll, and would continue to do so until the end of the war
    1
  492. ‘Lack of Food by itself wouldn’t cause a collapse’ In what universe?
    1
  493. I’d love to hear the reasons people are against this Oh no is this more German ‘why do we have the bundeswehr?!’ Stuff?
    1
  494. I mean in fairness that’s what Guderian and several other generals said in the memoirs, can’t really blame normies for being misinformed
    1
  495.  @shorewall  no, whataboutism describes the logical fallacy of “Oh you think our burger tastes bad? What about McDonald’s!” It’s not about McDonald’s, or Japan/USSR for this video, it’s about Germany Sorry for the late reply, but that’s what I mean with whataboutism, we can compare it another time but this video isn’t about that
    1
  496.  @shorewall  yeah I’m not in the mood to bother with calling the subjective police, it’s not true is alll I’ll say but of course it’s just an opinion haha because measurable information is somehow an opinion Anyway: Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.[1][2][3]
    1
  497.  @MarkAntony_1  “was” is the keyword
    1
  498.  @brettdubuque1231  you can see more in “why the German army failed in the west” which does describe the various challenges and failures
    1
  499.  @kickinghighify  “deep battle” defined as “the usage of aviation, armor, and artillery to support the breakthrough deep into the enemy lines in subsequent operations” Is quite literally what the entire world has called “a campaign” for centuries, except with the addition of air and armor, the current Russian military doctrine, held since the war, is paralyze the enemy with mass artillery suppression and encircle them with mobile armored units Ie the German maneuver warfare To quote doctor Roman toppel quoting a German soldier talking about the battle of Kursk: “the Russians they try to emulate our tactics but they do not have the practice or the skill to succeed in them” So, I mean yeah I’ll laugh with you at the joke, because you’re the joke
    1
  500.  @kickinghighify  they didn’t know in the battle of Kursk until they killed all the good soldiers so it works against forced fortress nerds who don’t move
    1
  501.  @georgiyyamov5827  you wot? “Deep operations” are what normal people have called “military campaigns” for quite some time, and the US army had different sizes and structures, but they’re up front at least about copying the Germans You know like how the Russians did, or you would if you weren’t so enamored with buzzwords It’s like calling “Fronts” a fantastic new concept of massed armies…despite every nation having A done it and B had a name for it, Army Groups
    1
  502. Because it’s a classic “let’s just do everything to make the local ethnicity Anglo” It’s like saying “oh everyone in Gibraltar wants to say with Britain!” Yeah because all the Spanish people left
    1
  503.  @sandran17  gee you tell me…why did the Spanish people leave a place the British invaded? Or more accurately why were they forced out? Fuck off
    1
  504.  Karl Quetzacoatl  not necessarily true, an African strategy was a viable choice, but the USSR was chosen as the main strength was the army not the navy
    1
  505.  Karl Quetzacoatl  Africa wouldve cut the Suez, the artery of Britain, and people did know about the middle eastern oil, see the Anglo Persian Oil Company Also, a waste of time? Hardly, if the African campaign we knew wasn’t gone for then the Italians would’ve dropped out of the war
    1
  506. Neither does the German people, most European militaries are hilariously underfunded and worryingly under-appreciated…odd considering how they lived next to the biggest threat in human history (well until China’s rise)
    1
  507. Not fair to Paulus, his army had no transport to get out of Stalingrad

  508. Is this a reference?

  509. The difference is Germans are actually smart xD

  510. Alex because some cringeworthy anti capitalist saw his precious socialism getting lambasted again and decided to use capitalist tech and inventions to defend it, sorry about it taunting the funny, it was pretty funny
    1
  511. casey b when did I say or even imply that? I mean, I didn’t, you’re just strawmanning me, but I’d love to hear it, but in future next time try sticking to argumentation/discussion, and not baseless insults/conjecture, it just makes you look like a bit of a twat
    1
  512.  @m7ray  glad you think so, unfortunately most scholars don’t, sorry And no, literally 100% of your logistics train and electronic components (ie radios the thing that the Germans used to subjugate Europe) were American, which were received before and after Kursk
    1
  513.  @m7ray  pffffhahahhahaha yeah dude, keep being you What are you a maskirovka bot/guy? Probably Have a nice day
    1
  514.  @m7ray  not true, not all great things are done by Americans, but scholars debate the extent of the lend lease effect, and you’re clearly biased one way regardless
    1
  515.  @m7ray  wrong, forgot his name but both sides of the lend lease did x argument are cited by MHV in his video “Myths about the Red Army” I forgot his name but the Russian historian says that it prevented total collapse (paraphrased) whereas I believe Alexander Hill (or citino?) says it wouldve taken 12-18 more months for the red army to defeat the Wehrmacht It’s fine if you want to debate this stuff but You really need a reality check if that’s your mindset
    1
  516.  @m7ray  ah I see the arbitrary “these people aren’t real x” argument Pathetic
    1
  517.  @billrich9722  “grow some balls, pog”
    1
  518.  @tiagomonteiro130  yeah
    1
  519. Sounds like the Kyiv front needs more of them
    1
  520.  @zhufortheimpaler4041  Ukraine I don’t think is any position to be picky, as Jens said, the Leopards can be used on secondary fronts to free up more powerful tanks for forward deployment
    1
  521.  @zhufortheimpaler4041  rheinmetal literally stated it’ll take like 5 weeks for delivery of the first dozen or so, but okay
    1
  522. 39:30 does Binkov’s recent video on nukeless 1945 Japan invasion video also help answer this? They show a source that Post war counting of Japanese aircraft was much higher than expected, for kamikazes I believe
    1
  523. Amphibious forces were unavailable after the massive battle for Sakhalin island, naval assets were being sent to the Soviets but Stalin was open about how they wouldn’t really bother with naval landings since the west were stronger naval powers, and that they would ‘break their back’ on the continent
    1
  524. hedgehog3180 the BTs were still armed with the 45mm, comparable to the 50mm Panzer 3s or better than the 37mm’s in most tanks
    1
  525. Could you make a video on historical mine warfare? Seems a bit relevant now adays…
    1
  526.  @VadarVadar  and how do you call in artillery support without…..artillery shells
    1
  527.  @VadarVadar  tell that to the Ukrainians

  528. Good to see you here, now go back to burning in hell, war criminal

  529. hangman whataboutism isn’t an argument
    1
  530. The best tank was obviously the H39 It’s so good no one could make it after the French died
    1
  531. The Royal Navy was the largest navy so long as the United States didn’t care They never cared specifically but the third largest navy did want to have a say about it
    1
  532.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  M551, probably, had to be thrown out of airplanes and served a similar purpose
    1
  533.  @MilitaryHistoryVisualized  :D On a side note, would you or ever press be interested in customer photos (with the photograph’d permission of course, looking at you, EU privacy laws) of your shirts (the ones I have are all from your Everpress line ups) for marketing or something?
    1
  534. This is fascinating to read, even with lend lease the Soviets were on the verge of organizational collapse
    1
  535. You must be new here Or you were new xD
    1
  536. Even during the war there was a strong anti war with Germany movement, Germany had done nothing to the USA for the us public to want war, especially in the first year seeing how disastrous the commerce war went for USA Had hitler not declared war, oh boy the wannabe dictator in chief would struggle to justify it
    1
  537. The answer is very simple Neither The requirements for a heavy breakthrough tank were made before the war kicked off
    1
  538.  happy gekko  it’s worse than that, it made the Germans (or, Hitler?) conclude that no matter what, Norway would give into the allies when push came to shove, which lit a fire under the ass of what became the Norway invasion Altmark I mean^
    1
  539. Also we’re no where near the carrying capacity of the planet, until we switch fully to nuclear power for example then there can be improvements to what we have
    1
  540. Definitely successful, not sure if that means best
    1
  541. They didn’t ignore warnings, it was USA and UK who publicized their classified intelligence about the invasion months in advance
    1
  542. Well, pick one If it was good enough you wouldn’t need a ratio of thousands, considering the total loss rate and the fact the T-44 ditched its design concepts…doesn’t seem ‘good enough’ more so than ‘it’s all we’ve got’
    1
  543.  @hairychris444  oh yeah it was just random to me
    1
  544. If you play Drive on Moscow best is to encircle the whole map so they can’t spawn more units
    1
  545.  @micfail2  more like Soviet bias that everything they did and made were spectacular, as Giangreco said, “the propaganda that they were the military that needed no help” or whatever But that is interesting and does explain the northern islands

  546. Prove it

  556.  @majungasaurusaaaa  No, I’m not going to arbitrarily define something as something to let it get away with being stupid
    1
  557.  @majungasaurusaaaa  I say nay since even ‘entertainment history’ well the good stuff is still properly sourced Meanwhile theres people like Lindybeige who call the halftrack Hanomag which I believe it was Doyle who pointed out that’s a myth
    1
  558.  @majungasaurusaaaa  also I’m missing the point of the quotations, history is history dude
    1
  559.  @majungasaurusaaaa  I can partially agree with that sentiment but that doesn’t excuse stupidity just because “they were being stupid to begin with so what did you expect?”
    1
  560. Jao Jao untenable position likely and france’s manpower shortage was acute already and everyone knew what was gonna happen next Not to mention the Arm de la air (some Frenchie is gonna blast me for that) could not hope to even defend against the Luftwaffe let alone commit an incursion into germany
    1
  561. Lynex slightly off Denmark wasn’t invaded for a springboard it was invaded simultaneously, also the mining operation didn’t trigger the Norway invasion, in fact both groups, Task Force 2 and HMS Glowworm apart of the mining operation ran into each other

  563.  @phunkracy  tanks shooting at each other is rare? Pffffhahahahhahahaha
    1
  564.  @phunkracy  rare in what context exactly? This one? Where the Ukrainian armored units have been engaged since the start of hostilities? Or in the context of counter insurgency conflicts like Afghanistan? No genuinely what nonsense is this statement based on I’d love to roast it
    1
  565.  @phunkracy  the gulf war literally had one of the largest tank battles post ww2 are you smoking nut? The invasion of Kuwait had tankers firing until their ammo ran dry The Israelis eat Egyptian armor like a fat guy eats hot dogs The Nagorno Karabakh war was in mountains no shit tanks fighting tanks was pretty rare The war in Georgia literally had the most recent armor unit on armor unit engagement not seen until the current Russo Ukrainian war you g n o m e Good god that was easier than your girlfriend

  567. I wonder what may have happened if a Taranto Pearl Harbor esque attacked (maybe by that flieger korps people) the home fleet at Scapa Flow
    1
  568. I think it’s more because we know the Wehrmacht lost, so why/how did they lose? And of course it’s more effective and easier to improve by fixing errors than by amplifying strengths

  572. @ casualties are wrong too, 8/11 isn’t 86% 8/11 German KIA were on the eastern front But uh, worth remembering it was the western allies who drove Italy out of the war, demobilizing millions of axis soldiers in the process So, not just resources but manpower too
    1
  573. LOL “Russian invasion of Ukraine” Tank and Tractor If this video doesn’t get 1 million views for that alone YouTube is criminal Edits: “overnight people became experts on almost everything” you can’t just keep roasting everyone it’s not fair xD “People need to do more reading less talking” 26:25 oh god

  575. It’s always interesting to see in the storming of the Reichstag involved a Valentine, why in the hell would they bring one unless the depots just kinda had not a lot of what they wanted? Id love to see the total ammo consumption for the war, but such numbers probably don’t exist

    1
  586.  @johnharker7194  because it guaranteed allied victory over the Germans
    1
  587.  @johnharker7194  for the random 18 year old farm boys? They would never know and probably wouldn’t care because they don’t have the requisite knowledge to understand, but saying all this is at best a failure of understand and at worse an excuse The global world order would change with the outcome of the world war (duh) and it did, best to be apart of the change rather than sitting it out hoping it doesn’t affect you

    1
  613.  @dovetonsturdee7033  the armistice, who signed an armistice? France, because their military was beaten, Britain signed no armistice during 1940, when Operation Dynamo happened I don’t understand your reply unless you think I said the British signed the armistice, which isn’t true

  632. Things like this concern me today, the US is too reliant on knowing everything, and while current events show that they still do, it doesn’t mean they should keep expecting it
    1
  633. The discussion isn’t (or shouldn’t be) that “ah Stalingrad incident was avoided therefore German victory in the East” its just the story of Stalingrad is just awful, and the discussion is (should be) about if at a minimum the troops there could escape such an awful fate

  639. Preparations half remind me of the Russians in Ukraine, secrecy kept from all field commanders
    1
  640. Well the goal is clearly to stop at all costs ukraine from joining nato (because Russia is scared of a defensive alliance, for obvious reasons) which would massive expand the border length with nato This war was expected to not even be a war, more like the Anschluss in 1938 Why did they think the west would sit it out? Well for two very obvious reasons which may ruffle some political feathers, one is in 2014 that’s exactly what happened, two and more importantly, leftist politicians have power in most western countries and they’re notoriously bad at foreign policy, just look at the Merkel chancellorship or the Obama administration

  649.  @silverhost9782  facts don’t have nationality Building shit and giving it to our Allies for free? Fact, you can’t deny it, they made a whole law about it The USA killed a majority of the German submarines? Fact, sorry I’m missing how counting is hard And of course the USA killed something like 98% of the IJN If you have evidence against these things I’d love to hear it, other than the most pathetic “wah you’re facts aren’t factual enough cuz america!” Side note American schools didn’t teach me this, they spend more time talking about negative things in American history, maybe the British should do that more, their people would be more humble, but that’s irrelevant to the conversation…well frankly you’re irrelevant to this conversation

  666. I know I’m a day late but i recommend this game thats probably on Pc and on Xbox One (at the least) called Drive on Moscow, it’s a turn based strategy game set during Operation Typhoon I’m actually writing a review for it, no idea how long it’ll take, but since every review I’ve seen for this somewhat flawed but pretty good game is like, ass, I’m making my own, but i would recommend it, if nothing else the history of the offensive seen on the developer, Shenandoah studios, website is a fascinating read (and funny when they misspell words like ‘taking’ into ‘talking’), it even talks about the heavy losses experienced in Barbarossa’s opening months and doesn’t just ‘muh winter’ but does detail some of the major problems the winter had for the Axis (they refuse to say German or Nazi) advance

Turbine is just as good as the diesel it’s not the 80s anymore, the turbine is actually better than the diesel now a days due to the bonuses and lack of downsides Also I’m calling the politicians pussies, if you knew anything about anything you would know that, of course I know you don’t.

  674.  @historyandhorseplaying7374  you’re wrong about everything ‘I worked on Abrams!’ That’s fantastic (and a lie most likely), doesn’t mean what you say is factual about battlefield usage, supply, or political will to send them Leopard 2 is just as old btw, leopard 1 even more old

  675.  @historyandhorseplaying7374  JP8 is so hard to come by that we run thousands of tanks with them Insane I mean it’s not like the polish bought abrams and have been getting the prep done for their maintainers and-oh fuck they have Again prior experience doesn’t make anything you say factual it makes it anecdotal
    1
  676.  @historyandhorseplaying7374  wait what’s the desire to send equipment gotta do with ‘being gung ho to get involved go enlist’? What’s the connection? Is this the classic crybaby service member ‘go join up then if you think x y or z!’ Dismissal of any statement? Yes? Yeah I know ‘The politicians are elected to keep us out of wars’ no they’re not, I don’t know how someone like you who was involved in Iraq says this since your ass was supposedly there. Politicians are elected to lead and run the nation in the best capacity they can, including foreign policy! Ukraine does have things to do with us, you may have noticed gas got super expensive at the same time Russia invaded! Did ya notice that?

  677.  @historyandhorseplaying7374  we is the US, the US tank fleet which has one tank? The Abrams? I thought you’d know that given you, supposedly, worked on Abrams. Yeah, you’re just outing yourself now, I’m not wasting another second on you

German officers probably knew their days were numbered after the disaster of Case Blue, considering its whole purpose was to avert the fuel catastrophe that was imminent, and it failed, it’s a testament to either the tenacity of German officers or to the indoctrination of the Nazis/Wehrmacht that they continued to fight as much as they did, although on the eastern front they probably knew Ivan would do to them what they did to him

British should be thankful Argentinians didn’t fuse their bombs right, they may have continued the war if those ships damaged but not exploded were exploded, even after the British recaptured the islands

Yes, yes it did, so just imagine if we cut their food supply in half…yeah There literally was a famine immediately postwar in Ukraine

    1
  799. @ no it wasn’t, you’re just making that up, new engines spit at shit fuel ‘They would’ve have expanded those’ this stupidity is on par with ‘the Germans should’ve just built more stuff’ Why did the Soviet Union starve incessantly then? They had a famine immediately after the war At least you acknowledge they have no rubber since ALL of the rubber is controlled by the western allies or Japan You are coping, you have not provided a SINGLE piece of evidence or data point

It’s worth remembering the dead to wounded ratio tends to be 1-3, or maybe 1-4 For every 20,000 dead per month, it’s fair to assume 60-80 thousand were wounded, not all were irrecoverable though. History shows irrecoverable losses tend to be 50% of total casualties. Of course one man can be made a casualty multiple times

  847. Would the allies have accepted peace terms with a successful 20th July plot? Not sure who would succeed Hitler in such a case, since Rommel was said to be a poor politician and that’s who a lot of people named, for reasons I guess
