  1. Let the Russians lose 200,000 street to street fighting for a bombed out city just as the war was ending. Great plan.
    253
  2. "Soviet Storm" is the best Russian ww2 series ever. All 50 min episodes. You're not learning much in 15 min no matter how well put together it is.

  3.  @stellviahohenheim  If they do not have the attention span for a proper one hour history documentary video they sure will not read a book. 😆

  4. When you compare South Korea with Vietnam maybe the US winning would have been better? Living under a communist Regime really must suck.
    21
  5. Wait until the virus ends.
    20
  6. Italy owned Libya before the war and nobody knew Libya had oil until 1959. Crazy.
    15
  7. It was Steiner's fault the war was lost.
    13
  8. After the French treaty of Versailles the Germans had to do a lot of starving, payback is a beach.
    12
  9. True. Berlin could have been blockaded until they starved to death. Why lose 200,000 in street rubble fighting a week before the war was over?
    8
  10.  @scuevas1  Stalin purged his experienced officers and order the no retreat orders that encircled millions of Russians troops. Stalin also did not allow the evacuation of Leningrad and Stalingrad of civilians ,thinking the soldiers would fight harder. He starved 7 million Ukraine in the 1930s and killed 20,000 Polish officers in a forest. Millions of Russians died in the Gulags His head of security was a known child rapist. Yes Stalin was a sick Monster.

  11.  @543soldier  The Russian Navy was a joke and had no landing crafts, how can they even get to Japan? That crossing is much wider than the english channel of D-Day.
    8
  12. By 1945 the US had mainland Japan blockaded by sea and air and under constant bombing. Isolated Japanese soldiers in far off Manchuria did not matter at this point. They would just wither on the vine.
    6
  13. Not a hot topic in Japan schools "How we got are asses kick hard in WW2" I can see them keeping that low.
    6
  14. 120,000 french were evacuated from Dunkirk.
    5
  15. You mean Russia's "Operation Bagration" only 2 weeks later and larger in scale.
    5
  16. And the Red Army took all of Poland at the end of the war.
    5
  17. Fun fact- Before the War Italy own/controlled what is now Libya. Nobody knew Libya had lots of oil until 1959 that was 14 years after the war.
    5
  18.  abe Lincoln  Belin was in the Russian part of East Germany with the city was agreed to be split well before the war ended,and thats what happened. Who took the city did not change that.
    5
  19.  @proudtitanicdenier4300  Berlin fate was decided Yalta in February 1945. Berlin was in Russian East Germany and the city to be split. That's how it turned out no matter who took the city.

  21. By 1945 the US had mainland Japan blockaded by sea and air and under constant bombing. Isolated Japanese soldiers in far off Manchuria did not matter at this point. They would just wither on the vine. Russia had no way of even landing on mainland Japan, like the Germans could not land on Britain in 1940.
    4
  22.  @brokenbridge6316  The Russian never had landing crafts and definitely not out in south east Russia. Also the US blockade of mainland Japan worked both ways , nothing was getting in or out. The US did not build the largest Navy in the world and fight Japan for 3 years to its knees ,to share Japan with late comer Stalin.
    4
  23. Moscow did not matter, the war factories were move east of the Ural mountains. Germany was a country of 70 million fighting the USSR a country of 170 million in 1940.
    4
  24.  @erikeriks  And Africa is doing awesome on their own two feet today. lol
    4
  25.  @saucebloks5243  Its on Youtube. Type "Soviet Storm " In the search bar. I think there are 18 episodes. Your in for a treat. The one about Operation Bagrations is great. Episode 11 .
    4
  26. It's amazing "Bagration " is not mention even more than smaller D-Day? It was just 2 weeks after D-Day and larger in scale manpower wise. After Bagration the Russians were on a non stop dash to Berlin even if D-Day never happened or even if Britain and the US pulled out of the war at this stage.
    4
  27. Germany was also a country of only 70 million in 1940. The US (Alone) had 130 million people and a manufacturing capacity of 3 Germany's. Now add the UK. Even the fall of Russia would not have mattered. B29s and A-Bombs were coming.
    4
  28. You Tube thinks we will all join the Nazis if we see a swastika.
    4
  29. Let the Russians lose 200,000 street to street fighting for a bombed out city just as the war was ending. Great plan.
    4
  30. If poor 40 million people Ukraine right next door can hold off Russia , I thinkt rich 80 million people Germany that's far away easily can. Russia would run out of food and fuel just to reach Germany. You don't need a great military to fight a poor military.
    3
  31.  @brokenbridge6316  The US had the A-Bomb and Russia was not getting the bomb for another 4 years. Russia was in ruins and lost 24 million people.the US was untouched and lost 500,000 people and just warming up. Stalin was not touching Japan without the US permission.
    3
  32.  @UserName-om6ft  Even if Germany was doing ok in 1945 .the allies had complete air superiority over Germany since 1944. Without Russia's help B-29s with A-bombs from England would have ended the war in Germany eventually ,without needing a D-Day. People do not realized what a game changer Nuclear weapon were.
    3
  33.  @UserName-om6ft  Even without allies the US had a population of 130 million compared to Germany's 80 million.in 1940 The US has 3Xs the manufacturing capacity of Germany. The most interesting thing about WW2 is it taking as long as 5 years to beat Germany with so many countries against them.
    3
  34. Japan surrendered after the 2nd atomic bomb. By 1945 the US had mainland Japan blockaded by sea and air and under constant bombing. Isolated Japanese soldiers in far off Manchuria did not matter at this point. They would just wither on the vine.
    3
  35. Also the M24 Chaffee
    3
  36. There was a ad? Youtube without adblock , that must hurt? Have not seen a commercial on YT in 5 years.
    3
  37. To be fair the entire Middle East never seems to calm down. The "Religion above all else" thing seems to be the common denominator.
    3
  38. The Russians had 6 million troops on a unstoppable march to Berlin even if D-Day did not take place. What happened or not in the west front was not changing that.
    3
  39. The EU has a economy 12Xs larger than Russia and 300 million more people. The EU should handle Russia on their own.
    3
  40. Germany is a guilt ridden snowflake today.
    3
  41. When we removed Germany's pair and replaced them with a pussy in 1945 we may have overreacted.
    3
  42. That was 12 years later in 2003.
    2
  43.  @illerac84  Leave them alone so they can regroup in peace and harmony. LOL
    2
  44. Twice? It was 3 times. 1-Germany invades West Poland in 1939 2-Russia 2 weeks later takes East Poland 3- Russia takes all Poland at wars end.
    2
  45. The US without help had 1/3rd more people than Germany and 3 times Germany's manufacturing capacity. North American would not have noticed and just dumped supplies to fortress Island Britain until the A-Bomb was invented.
    2
  46. If you look up Russia's "Operation Bagration" 2 week later it really did not even matter if D-Day took place. The Russians killed (Army Group Center) and were going to Berlin no matter what.
    2
  47. The 2022 new Hitler has Belarus ,Syria and India on his side.
    2
  48. Pre muslim Sweden sure was different.
    2
  49. .It's criminal that "D-Day" is talked about all the time even when "Bagration" was only 2 weeks later and larger in scale.
    2
  50. France surrendered well before Paris was endanger.
    2
  51. Did not have the manpower to occupy all of France but they plan on taking all of Britain ,Europe , Russia and North America if they won the war??
    2
  52. You Tube thinks we are children and will join the Nazis if we see a swastika. Yet its shown in every WW2 movie made.
    2
  53. Being on the losing side sucks. What would the Nazi have done to a defeated Russia?
    2
  54. Minuteman beat the British. The LGM-30G Minuteman III will beat anyone.
    2
  55. Your in for a treat watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAEdLnZsgI The Only full Doc about Bagration I ever seen.
    2
  56. Midnight to 6am is not a bad curfew. Even in peace time whats there to do at that time?
    2
  57. If you look at the standard of living in South Korea today vs communist Vietnam , Vietnam did not beat the US they beat themselves.
    2
  58. Became a Stalin USSR puppet state like the rest of east Europe in 1945 and collapse with the fall of the USSR in 1991.
    2
  59.  @Ahmad-nf9ez  Japan was Blockaded in 1945 without the A Bomb. Conventional bombing of Tokyo killed more than at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The US overran Iraq in 2 weeks and had it's leader Saddam Hussein living in a dirt hole. Iran fought Iraq for 9 years to a stalemate.
    2
  60. Germany never had enough food as it was. Imagine using it to fuel the war machine.
    2
  61. @Federal Bureau of Investigation With adblocker I have not seen a ad on youtube in 5 years.
    2
  62.  @coolestgaming5216  You tube is known for banning War history docs.
    2
  63. In the meantime 6 million Russians were on a unstoppable west march to Hitler's bunker in Berlin, D-Day or no D-Day.
    2
  64. Today Africa is invading Italy.
    2
  65. Not sure if it's a war or just a lifestyle now.
    2
  66. I agree , very good.
    2
  67. It's criminal that "D-Day" is talked about all the time even when "Bagration" was only 2 weeks later and larger in scale.
    2
  68. The Russian had bad leadership. How else do you explain the winning side losing 10 million troops and the losing side losing 5 million.
    2
  69. The Russian are not great strategist they just rely on overwhelming numbers. Look at the Finland war, the Russian won but lost way more soldiers. The Germans lost 6 million less troops on the eastern front than Russia in WW2.
    2
  70. Moe because they take their region way too seriously and theirs to many different kind of muslim religions.
    2
  71. Focus on the US? They could never get to America let alone focus on it.
    2
  72. True. 80% of the German military were fighting the Russians. In 1944 6 million Russians were going to Berlin no matter what happened or not in the west.
    2
  73. Join Nato Finland. Putin is back on the march.
    2
  74. When the winners lose 5 million more troops than the losing side. Only Russia can be proud of that.
    2
  75. Do the Tiger and Panther "Transmission/ Gearbox" next.
    2
  76. The US had a 4 year monopoly on the A-Bomb and the largest Air Force in the world after the war. If that was not cold war clout what was?
    2
  77. Japan is 26th in GDP per capita while China is almost 3rd world at 73rd.
    2
  78.  @lycaonpictus9662  Also, why do people think the German would have won if they took Moscow? Napoleon took Moscow and still lost. All the Factories where reset far east behind the Ural Mountains. If Japan took over Las Angeles in ww2 , I don't think the US would have lost, there was still a lot of country and Cities left.
    2
  79. Germany does not use alot of US weapons.
    2
  80. Meanwhile 6 million Russians were on a unstoppable march to Berlin no matter what happened or not in the west.
    2
  81.  @zachrael-9th  There was a Difference between Hitler and Stalin how?
    2
  82. True. Bagration was much larger in scale and a much bigger defeat for the Germans than D-Day. Bragration made D-Day not even matter. After Bagration Russian was on a unstoppable dash to Berlin no matter what happened in the West. D-Day was to prevent the Russians from taking all of Europe , not just the East part of Europe.
    2
  83. I heard the French authorities even helped gather up Jew to be transported to the camps for the Germans.
    2
  84.  @reinersousa2329  Here is a great doc on Bagration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAEdLnZsgI&t=9s It was bigger in scale than D-Day by a large margin. 900,000 German troops of Army Group center were defeated totally.
    2
  85. Putin wants to be a superpower like the US, China and EU but with a GDP that of Spain. Tough dream to achieve.
    2
  86. Communist regimes do not pretend to be nice to people ,even their own. I do not like communism , but the are not two faced about human rights.
    1
  87. We were bad to. We held off D-day as long as possible so Hitler and Stalin could bleed each other out. Worked too. 11 million Russian troops dead and 5 million Germans troops. The US lost 500,000 same with the UK.
    1
  88.  @atheistyoda8915  We were worried Stalin would take all of Germany not just the east if we did not get on mainland Europe soon. Could not hold off any longer.
    1
  89.  @atheistyoda8915  I thought the Allies did a great job at letting Hitler and Stalin bleed each other out until June 1944. The casualties numbers proved it.
    1
  90. That's why Sweden is converting to Islam?
    1
  91. Today the 3rd world is taking over the UK and EU.
    1
  92. North America can supply everything the British needed from the Atlantic. The Suez Canal was not do or die in importance.
    1
  93.  @mathewm7136  Lend lease was in effect March 11, 1941 but the "Neutrality Act of 1939" passed congress on Sept 21 1939 which shipped war material to Britain.

  94. The Romans would be so ashamed of their grandkids.

  95. Today we would be cheering for the Germans.

  96.  @corentinbm9091  Now it is Russia with their new Hitler 2022 that does the invading.

  97. If Steiner had attacked on schedule ,the world would be speaking German.
    1
  98. True Where the Russians liberate but for get to ever leave. The Canadians ,British with actually had to shoot at the Russians to keep them from liderating Denmark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWcRl7Q7pGs Great untold story.

  99. And Africa is doing awesome on their own two feet today.

  100. The US and UK saved Western Europe from Stalin ,Hitler's twin clone brother.
    1
  101. @inkun2B0\\\X Stalin killed 6 million ukraine before the war started
    1
  102. When China runs into a country with ICBMs they will stop. Japan should get nukes and quit counting on the US.

  103. When you compare South Korea with Vietnam maybe the US winning would have been better? Living under a communist Regime really must suck.
    1
  104. Japan did not know Manchuria already had lots of oil in the The Daqing Oil Fields so they went to war for nothing.
    1
  105. Putin is on the mach to bring the USSR back , maybe some old East German will get dream life back. To own a LADA again.
    1
  106.  @itsblitz4437  Russia needing the draft and weapons from North Korea is not a sign Russia military is very good.
    1
  107. Hard to believe the Allies gave a part of Germany to France. France came out good they lost 250,000 less soldies than the US and UK and their cities were not bomb to rubble.
    1
  108. Like Canada and India and Australia and Hong Kong The British would have left on their own at some point anyways. Glad the Brits lost or we would be taking in middle east and black Africans males and put up with No Go Zones.
    1
  109. Japan surrendered weeks after the 2nd Atomic bomb attack, this was well before then. By 1945 the US had mainland Japan blockaded by sea and air and under constant bombing. Isolated Japanese soldiers in far off Manchuria did not matter at this point. They would just wither on the vine.
    1
  110. Britain declared war on Germany. Why would the US rush to fight a small country 4000 mile away who was no threat to America?
    1
  111. Should have gave Germany it,s land back rather than be occupied from 1939 to 1989.
    1
  112. He said 600,000 .
    1
  113.  @tbotalpha8133  War is even stranger today. The EU buys billions of dollars in gas from Russia and supplies billions in weapons to the Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers.
    1
  114.  @vastlk995  True , War sucks. Their was reports of rapes of Freanch women after D-Day by allied troops.
    1
  115. All 3 days of it?

  116. The Liberation by Hitler's twin clone bother Stalin in 1945 sure was no improvement.

  118. Using outdated ww2 equipment in 1950? WW2 was only 5 year earlier. That's like saying they were using outdated 2017 equipment today.

  119.  @Jose.AFT.Saddul  With the US massive GDP lead their peacetime military budget out does the next top 3 countries war time budget.

  121. But Italy made the best sports cars in the world after Germany.
    1
  122. By 1944 , it did not matter . The Germans could not stop a attack even if the knew it was coming.
    1
  123. Japan did not know Manchuria already had lots of oil in the The Daqing Oil Fields so they went to war for nothing.
    1
  124. German was only a country of 70 million in 1940. The US alone had 120 million people and 3 times the industrial output. Evern without Russia and the UK.
    1
  125.  John Cornell  Germany was a land base fighting Machine. To their credit how a small county lasted from 1942 to 1945 fighting the USSR, USA and UK at once is amazing.
    1
  126.  John Cornell  Germany after the fall of France could have just ignore Britain. Britain also could never get back to Europe alone like the Germans could not get to Britain. They could only have a air war, which the attackers would lose , since their shot down surviving pilots would be POWs not back in the air again like the defenders.
    1
  127.  John Cornell  Germany should have ignored Italy's troubles in North Africa as well. The Russian were supplying German with oil before Germany invaded Russia. In our 'What If" Britain and German are alone with no direct US involvement , but the US would supply Britain for sure.
    1
  128.  @Tsukuyomi8  Not sure how . Their industrial strength were close and the British navy was larger and the Battle of Britain proved their air power was a match. Britain developed sonar and radar to a point in late 1943 that it was suicidal to be in a U-Boat. Canada had any natural resource britain needed to feed British industry.
    1
  129.  John Cornell  The British ever built more aircraft during the war than Germany. https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_World_War_II Many being 4 engine bombers. So the number would have been greater if they only made small planes like Germany.
    1
  130.  John Cornell  How you Invade a Island nation that out produces you in ships and planes after already winning the Battle of Britain makes no sense.
    1
  131. Worst yet , now Russia has a GDP below Brazil and Canada. 3 EU member have larger economies than Russia, 4 if you count the UK.
    1
  132. losing has some draw backs.
    1
  133. With the A-Bomb the war was ending in 1945 no matter what.
    1
  134.  @pauldodds9646  The conventional bombing of Dresden in 1945 killed as many as Hiroshima. The only difference is a nuke is one plane one bomb one trip.
    1
  135.  Dean Keepers  The Conventional fire bombing on Tokyo also killed more than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

  136. Video starts at 1:28.

  137. A country of 70 million is not beating USSR, UK and USA at the same time. Math lost the war for Germany. The US by them selves had twice Germany's population and 4 times there manufacturing capacity.
    1
  138. When I look at South Korea's living condition vs North Korea are you sure you are happy the communist won?
    1
  139. They just use what the British used?
    1
  140.  @phlm9038  The War was not over why would all the french soldiers want to go to Britain at that stage? The French still had 1.5 million men fighting in France. They can't all leave for Britain.
    1
  141. They tried to finish the British (Battle of Britain) but it failed. Why would a 2nd Battle of Britain going to work.
    1
  142. Now Germany will have big friends and Russia will be all by themselves.
    1
  143. Also how does any county win if fighting the USA, UK and USSR at once? The US "alone" could out manufacture 3 Germany's and had 50 million more people than Germany. The Russian were not that good , they lost 6 million more soldiers than the Germans. How does the winning side lose more troops than the losing side?

  144.  fuckyoutubepolicy staff  I agree about the trucks This is a fantastic video about Russia war production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcpUdhj-9A8&t=4s

  147. When you have hundreds of ICBMs not to many countries want to invade you.

  150. Even if the Us lost a it did not matter http://www.combinedfleet.com/economic.htm The US could just replace anything it lost quickly.

  151. Next time let the weapon inspectors do their job if there is nothing to hide.

  152. Your in for a treat watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAEdLnZsgI The Only full Doc about Bagration I ever seen.

  153. D-Day or no D-Day the Russians were on their way to Berlin and Hitler's bunker no matter what happened in the west.
    1
  154. Even if they could push back the west. 6 million Russians were on a unstoppable trip to Berlin no matter what, The shore of D-Day was the last chance to hold off the west.
    1
  155. Look up Operation "Big Week" it was almost the total destruction of the German air force in the west before D-Day. The Germans sent on TWO planes to the beaches on D-Day. The Germans did not even have 2000 planes in later 1944 in their entire air force.
    1
  156. Your on Youtube without ad blocker? That must be painful.
    1
  157. The US going in on a full invasion of Japan would have been worst.
    1
  158. Even D-Day had zero effect on the war. At that stage the Russians were on a unstoppable march to Berlin and outnumbered the Germans in absolutely everything.
    1
  159. Were those lines of men not used well before Napoleon and used in the 7 years war with Frederick the great and American Revolution?
    1
  160. The Red Army lost more soldiers than anyone country in WW2 (11 million). Even the losing side Germany lost 5 million less soldies than the winning side Russia. Russians were brave fighters not smart fighters.
    1
  161. Why would stranded Japanese Army matter in distant China in 1945 when the US had the Japan mainland blockaded. The surrender was because more A-Bombs were on the way. http://www.dannen.com/decision/bomb-rate.html Russain did not even have a Navy to get to Japan.
    1
  162.  @ArmorKingEmir  Makes no sense. Its like Germany being surrounded on all sides of their Borders ,but deciding to surrender because their Army in far off North Africa was beaten. The US stopped a loaf of bread from entering Japan with their blockade , but Japan cared about a army in distant Manchuria that made no difference to mainland Japan at this stage of the game.
    1
  163. WW2 was the last war that the US was 100% involved. During Vietnam people were driving muscle cars ,going to Janis Joplin concerts , while the US put a man on the moon. Conflicts are not wars.
    1
  164.  @Paragon1210  The US lost 2,300 soldiers over 20 years in Afghanistan. You think that's a serious war for the US?
    1
  165.  @baneofbanes  Germany and Japan lost . It was not the point to make all of them exist like the Deo Deo Bird.
    1
  166. When you compare South Korea with Vietnam maybe the US winning would have been better? Living under a communist Regime really must suck.

  167. So many different kinds of muslims over there who can keep track.
    1
  168.  It's Nietzsche, Bietzsche!  Are Kurds Muslims? What about Ibadi, Ahmadiyya, and Sufism.
    1
  169. How did the British lose ? It was a civil war with British fighting British so you can say they also won. If the Confederates South won the American civil war , the Americans would still be the winners.
    1
  170.  @armorpro573  In that time period the vastly majority came from current UK countries. Not like immigration after the American civil war.
    1
  171. The Brits did not kill and rape every civilian in sight like Japan did in China.
    1
  172. After (Operation Bagration) in June 22 1944 six million Russian were on a unstoppable march to Germany. D-Day was just to prevent Soviet occupation of western Europe.

  173. 360,222 from the North and 258,000 from the South — by far the greatest toll of any war in American history. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/science/civil-war-toll-up-by-20-percent-in-new-estimate.html

  174. @Federal Bureau of Investigation There was a add?

  175. But the Russian lost 6 million more troops during the war than the Germans. The Russians won but they sure were awful at it.
    1
  176.  @KatyaLishch  Britain also held them off during the Battle of Britain. How the Russian moved entire factories far east away from the Germans needs a video of its own. I work at a large steel plant in Canada, I just can't see how you pick one up and move it .
    1
  177.  @AAAA-zc9gz  The Russian did not lose 6 million soldiers . They lost 6 million more than the Germans, 11 million vs Germans 5 million.
    1
  178.  @KatyaLishch  Even if Britain fell, I think the Russians would still have won, they had more manpower and resources than smaller Germany. When the war was over I'm sure Russia would have gave Britain back. Not so sure about France though.
    1
  179. Like Canada,India Hong Kong south Ireland and Australia the British would have left on their own.

  180. What was censored? You mean the French won?

  181. No M24 Chaffee was odd.

  185. Declaring war on the US was the final nail.

  186.  @dr.finnegan3949  Hitler made many bad military decisions.
    1
  187. I think nuking the mountain ridges would have done the trick.
    1
  188. That's why the Russians lost 5 million more troops than the side they defeated. Brave fighters not smart fighters.
    1
  189.  @rvdberg92  You better look it up . the Russian lost 10 million troops 22 million with civilians. The Germans lost 5 million troops and 6 million with civilians. Only idiots would street to street fight in bombed out to rubble Berlin at the closing days of the war. The Russians loss 80,000 soldiers over a surrounded City.

  191. No B-29 with A-Bombs on their side. The allie's air power was 10 times that of Russia.
    1
  192.  @bobcougar77  The Russians were bleed white from the War losing 10 million soldiers and 12 million civilians. The UK and US lost only 500,000 each and untouched France was now back in the war. . With the allies overwhelming air power and zero supply issues ,Russia could not go any further and would eventually be the outnumbered with the long supply line like the Germans were. And B-29 with A-Bombs would eventually arrive , for that absolute insurance.
    1
  193. True But the Russian would have liberated (Stalin Style) France , Belgium, Denmark, (All) Germany, and Austria. D-Day was just about getting the allies on the Ground in Europe , not winning the war against Germany.
    1
  194. The West would have beat them. Russian lost 10 million troops by 1945 while the US lost 500,000. Plus the US had a air force 6 times that of Russia and the A-Bomb coming online.

  195. Germany today is the lead member of the EU. They have more lives than a cat.

  196.  @florianbiesinger5317  After 1943 the Russians were out producing the Germans in arms.
    1
  197. Like the Germans were a threat in 1944 on any front. By 1944 the German could not even move in daytime with the Allies air superiority.
    1
  198. Same with Putin's dream of a 2nd USSR superpower.
    1
  199.  @tarn1135  True. Playing superpower with a GDP just above Spain , took a real world invasion to show the military budget shortcuts.
    1
  200.  @MadKlauss  No matter how it turned out the US was building the largest Navy and Air Force in the world. Their economy just dwarf Russia and Germany together.

  201. Should have stopped after Czechoslovakia and Austria.

  202. Before the War Italy own what is now Libya. Nobody knew Libya had lots of oil until 1959 that was 14 years after the war.

  205. Watch the series "Soviet Storm". YouTube has all the episodes.

  206. Apparently the WW2 French uniform is as rare as a Italian war hero to find today.
    1
  207. Why would the Czech plant Russian Flags in east Poland? I think the Russians invaded eastern Poland in 1939.
    1
  208. How is the retreat from Dunkirk "Daring"? The only other option was surrender and becoming a POW.

  209. Once you drag Hitler out of his bunker in Berlin I would think that would stabilize every place occupied by the Germans.

  210.  @tuanskywalker8240  There was not much of a difference from being liberated by Stalin and Invaded by Stalin.

  211. OK Grammar Nazi.

  212. After Kusks it was a one way march to Berlin.

  213.  @tuanskywalker8240  There was not much of a difference from being liberated by Stalin and Invaded by Stalin. D-Day was about lot letting Stalin liberate France.

  214. Should have let the inspectors in to do their job, we warned them.

  215. Make a video on how great Africa does on their own. All their leaders wearing camo uniforms and dropped out after grade 3.

  216.  @AERallert  Here more realistic numbers. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-worldwide-deaths-world-war Germany 5,533,000 Soviet Union 8,800,000-10,700,000

  217. Nato (Article 5) true translation. Any country that invades a Nato country has just declared war on the United States OF America. Nobody is bothering Germany anytime soon .

  218. After (Operation Bagration) in June 22 1944 six million Russian were on a unstoppable march to Germany. D-Day was just to prevent Soviet occupation of western Europe.

  219. The US in 1944 built more aircraft (98,000) than Germany built in 42 ,43 and 44. Even if Germany had oil they were always were outnumbered in everything,
    1
  220.  @brianlong2334  The US just plain had a Industrial capacity 3 times that of Germany and 50 million more people. Germany made 94,000 plances in the entire war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_aircraft_production_during_World_War_II The US did that in one year in 1944 and many being large 4 engine bombers, unlike Germany who only made smaller planes.
    1
  221.  @brianlong2334  Also if the US did not build large 4 engine bombers like Germany in 1944 , most likely US plane production of 96,000 planes that year http://www.combinedfleet.com/economic.htm would have been much larger. One 4 engine bomber had the material of 3 fighters. The Detroit Willow Run plant could build a 4 engine B-24 every hour. That's quicker than Germany building a small BF-109. The above link really show how the US was in a different league in WW2 production.

  222. Germany was encircled in 1944.
    1
  223. Now that we found out Russia is a paper tiger , how good of a military does Germany need?
    1
  224.  @Nurgedanken0801  Nato's (Article 5) true translation. "Any country that invades a Nato country has just declared war on the United States OF America." Nobody is bothering Germany anytime soon even if they had no military . You think Ukraine would have been invaded if they were in NATO?
    1
  225. This was 12 years before that in 1991. You're talking about the 2003 round 2.
    1
  226. By 1945 the US had mainland Japan blockaded by sea and air and under constant bombing. Isolated Japanese soldiers in far off Manchuria did not matter at this point. They would just wither on the vine.
    1
  227. @William Wykoff True. Hard to believe the US with the largest navy in the world would fight Japan to its knees for 4 years and than let Russia ever land on mainland Japan to share it like Germany.

  228. The Russians were awful at winning. The Germans lost 5 million soldiers in the war and the Russians lost 10 million.

  231. Well worth it. Look at South Korea compared to North Korea today.

  232.  @onlyagermanguy  The used the Tornado and new Eurofighter, both a European project .
    1
  233.  @huyhoangtahuu9733  The Russian were not that good , they lost 6 million more soldiers than the Germans in WW2. How does the winning side lose more troops than the losing side?
    1
  234.  @black-uh1df  Most figures show the Germans lost 5 million men in the war while Russia lst 11 million. And the Russians lost them on one front , the Germans lost many not even fighting on the Russian front.
    1
  235.  @black-uh1df  Here the best figures I could find. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-worldwide-deaths-world-war It was confusing in Russia they go from 8 million to almost 11 million. Record keeping of loses was not Stalin's job-1 like other countries.
    1
  236. No M24 Chaffee ?
    1
  237. That is just evil.
    1
  238. Math killed Germany. Germany was a country of only 70 million in 1940, fighting the USA ,UK and USSR all at once. No matter, today Germany has the 3rd largest GDP and Russia's GDP is below Brazil and Canada.
    1
  239. Israel won 8 wars without US personal since 1948.
    1
  240.  @Cjvhxv13hxz9i4dbc  Just saying Israel did their own fighting. The US had to persuade Israel withdraw from Egypt twice after Israel beat them.
    1
  241. Let the Russians lose 200,000 street to street fighting for a bombed out city just as the war was ending. Great plan.
    1
  242. South Korea is happy today the US won and not North Korea is you compare living conditions.
    1
  243. To be fair the US was not in a total war footing like WW2 with car factories making tanks a woman welding liberty ships. Also the US lost 50,000 people to Vietnamese 1.2 million. Pulling out of a unpopular war is not like losing a war. Do you you think Germany and Japan could just pull out of the war because they were losing?
    1
  244. The New 2022 "Operation Bagration" against Ukraine is not going so good.

  245. The Usa became a superpower half way through WW2 not after WW2.
    1
  246.  @yoloswaggins7121  The US was a economic power before ww2. Before ww2 the US military was not very large.
    1
  247.  @yoloswaggins7121  In 1939, estimates of the Army's strength range between 174,000 and 200,000 soldiers, smaller than that of Portugal's, which ranked it 17th or 19th in the world in size. The US never even had a tank force before ww2. The Sherman tank was not in production until Feb 1942.

  248.  @DedMan516  We bombed every major German City to burning rumble , not sure how much more revenge can be done.
    1
  249.  @jonvaughn7125  Just declaring war on the US ,a country with twice Germany's population and 4 times its Manufacturing Capacity was a bad plan even if Russia was defeated..

  250.  @randomclouds4404  There is a vantastic full one hour documentary about it though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJAEdLnZsgI

  251.  @acornsoda22  The bomb did speed up Japan's surrender decision date while eliminating strings attached to it. The US landing millions of troops on Japan and costing hundreds of thousands of American lives while having a weapon to prevent it was never going to be even a decision really.

  252. For Sale Italian ww2 rifle, never fired and only dropped once.

  253. The WW2 French army uniform is rarer than a Italian war hero to find.

  256. With draw to where . The US and UK were coming from the other direction. Outnumbered? The US by themselves could have fought two Germanys.
    1
  257.  @JackoBanon1  The Allies helped. When the Russian reached Germany and all the cities were flatten to the ground did they think Earthquakes did it? Also the A-Bomb and B-29s would have went to Britain and Germany would have surrendered in 1945 no matter what.
    1
  258.  @JackoBanon1  They just wanted to win the War. The City of Pittsburgh makes a lot of steel , it sure would not continue if it was bombed to the ground.

  259.  @c.8276  Even if the US and Britain pulled out of the war, by 1944 the Russians had more of everything over the Germans.

  260.  @c.8276  The USSR in 1940 had a population of 194 million while Germany was 73 million. Today's Russia has 146 million.
    1
  261.  @c.8276  The wars outcome was obvious later in the war. In late 1944 many US factories were slowing or quit war productions. In 1945 Germany was done for, no need to increase manpower.
