Youtube hearted comments of Cary Black (@caryblack5985).

  1. It irritates me that Richtofen is constantly criticizing Paulus and the 6th Army for being slow and other perceived failures yet his Luftwaffe is facing a very weak and ineffective Soviet air force and minimal flack except on the East side of the Volga. He seems to have no conception of the casualties and difficulties facing the troops in urban fighting.

  2. Congratulations on the video Tik. Don't be discouraged if the video has a much smaller number of views than your other videos. The main reasons are the video is age restricted, some people do not want to see the suffering in the war and some do not want to hear about their "side" comitting war crimes. Too many people think war is like Hearts of Iron or World of Tanks. No blood no suffering and no death. It is important that people know what happens in war and that often it is the civilians that suufer more than the troops. Keep making videos so people understand that WII is not just about moving armies aound on a map.

  4. Up till the 1990s and the release of official Soviet archives the West traditionally did not trust the Soviet versions. On top of that much of the history was written by German officers who were the "guests" of the US Army. On top of that he cold war and the language barrier had an effect. It was wasn't till Glantz and the Russian historians of the 2000s that we got much of the Soviet story. Citino and other historians have commented on this.

  10. That info is not always available and would be changing day to day. I think TIK is working pretty hard just doing what he is doing.

  11. Read Stargardt The German War and you will see the majority of the German people knew or were willfully ignorant.
