Comments by "Andrew Sentinel" (@sentinel1armour) on "Why Did the Red Army Suffer So Many Casualties in Every Battle of WWII?" video.

  1.  @nguyenvietanh2152  The Germans lost LESS on Eas front than Soviets (not Russians), Both in % and absolute numbers. Do your maths. And learn history from something else, rather than comic books and Youtube videos, mate. And only a complete amateur could compare the outcomes of different wars through the centuries. As every conflict is VERY different. In terms of location, technical equipment and even the changes in the "same" country itself.

  3. The "no respect" factor should be at the first place. The others are just consequences.

  4. So true!

  5. Poor explanation. Try again.

  6. Russia and understanding - two words that can't be connected. Sorry, it's a fact.

  7. Sad truth is, that not only Russians. But lots of other conquered united nations...

  8. Hm. I thought it was a national standard since Rurik times...

  9. I remember the hate of German machine gunner (from his memoirs) to a commie commissar who was sanding his soldiers against a few German machine guns with NO REASON, while staying in a trench. Later on catch this commie and burned him фдшму just for his crime against his own soldiers.

  10. Bla-bla-bla, childish excuses. Why not admit that Sovies were incompetent and dumb (as obedient slaves should be)? And historically showed no respect to human's life.

  11.  @Enkilov  Господи, зачем вы спорите с упоротым ватником? Это бессмысленно! Для кретинов без разницы, что 8млн, что 12... Просто циферки. И плевать, что потери немцев в три раза меньше. А если сравнивать с союзниками (с учётом войны Британии с сентября 1939го), то пропорции и вовсе не сопоставимы. Но невежество и отсутствие критического мышления (оно же идёт в разрез с "русским величием") просто не позволяет признавать свою извечную некомпетентность, духовную нищету и презрение к человеческой жизни. Это как штамп на челе каждого русича. Исторически.

  14.  @BojanPeric-kq9et  Why would we talk about USA here? Or certain war crimes (which you just mentioned)? And once and again - ANYONE's life. Not Germans were waisted in Gulags, but own population. Without any mercy. And any manpower, especially soldiers. It was happening in Russian Empire times, it is happening now in Ukraine. It is a part of Russian national traditional mentality.

  15. That's a lie. He rarely used only frontal assault. His tactical know-how was based on huge reserves, mostly mechanized (which he was receiving more than any other commander). And there were more frontlines where Zhukov was not involved. Yet with enormous losses.
    1
  16.  @alnotz  Well, the most known Zhukov's success was Khalkhin Gol. No "wave after wave" there. At all. It's a fact. So your equal sign already is out of place. I personally used to talk with dozens of WW2 veterans (Yes, I live quite long). And all of them were talking about only one nickname - "Marshal pobedy"(Marshall of victory). In all the memoirs of German generals which I read, he was highly praised as a great commander. In every Stalin's biography, Zhukov was mentioned as the ONLY one brave enough to argue with Stalin and insist on acting his own way. Which is COMPLETELY opposite to "cruel, viciously loyal executor of his will". Actually, almost any of your statements is a complete nonsense. So, can you please name the sources (prooflinks preferably)confirming that he had a nickname "butcher" exactly for wasting the manpower (and not for being rude with subordinates)? Or maybe you can provide confirmed facts where it was sang "Zhukov is with us today. We will all die" by usual soldiers? Otherwise, it's just an empty bla-bla-bla. Just don't include any Ukrainian "historians" or citations from V.Suvorov (Rezun) books. As it will be undeniable sign of absolute incompetence in history. Hungarian sources? LOL. That's even worse. As Hungarian historians are just like Ethiopian dead lifters: they do exist but... you've got the idea. ;) Actually, your funny statement about 1956 says a lot about your understanding of military science. And where you've got this "Wave" idea from (pss, Zhukov was not involved to the operation "Wave", which failed - he was creator of operation "Whirlwind" which was an absolute success :) ) But, I'll leave you a chance to redeem yourself. Which, I am sure, you will fail miserably.

  17. Absolutely!

  18.  @myplane150  You certainly do. But Bojan knows better about Stalin thoughts - he's one of his good old friends ;) Jokes aside: I looked at quite a few Bojan's comments. And they remind me of the old rule: "the most simple explanations of a complicated and controversial situations are always given by the simple-minded. Not even mediocre".

  19. Ppsh41 is a good weapon. It would work quite well with Hurra strategy. More often it was barely working Mosin rifle. Often with 3 to 0 rounds. Same little to zero training...

  21. 12 vs 2.8 millions is comparable for you?! Probably you've never heard about maths and especially - statistics.

  22.  @Sky-us4ds Revenge is a normal thing for savages. Especially moskowits. Who have serious problems with logical thinking. Historically. Because of their permanent ignorance. They won't understand that memory has nothing to do here. Ohm wait, you're one of them? Too bad. I really feel sorry for you.

  23. "Excellent Russian equipment"? Are you joking? Give me the equal soviet competitor to mg-42. Or the Stug III. Or U VII series submarine. From the first years of war, of course. And I am not even mentioning here something like Shermans, Spitfires and any other Allie's weaponry (like different trucks and motorcycles provided to USSR via lendlease and making them ABLE to move some other way than just on foot). Thanks. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

  24.  @nickcharles1284  Normally I highlight an absolute incompetence immediately, calling a layman his real name. But I will hold myself and do exception for you. I promise. Let's start from "no naval war". Somehow, 781 German battleships and almost 800 transport vessels were sunken by... Soviet fleet. Surprisingly, 170 Soviet subs managed to participate in fighting and 81 of them were destroyed. For comparison: during the war there fought 182 US and 160 Japanese submarines. Looking at the numbers, probably they were not "fighting the naval war" as well, LOL. Oh, sorry, I promised. I could (and should) end here already, but... Anyway, the "Shiuka" submarine was not even close to German models. Period. Same with machine guns. Just nothing even close. The updated version of it (MG-3) is used in many armies *even now*. I had an experience of using it in Iraq. Fantastic machine! SU-76 (the only one massively produced in first years before appearance of powerful 85, 100 and ISU) is not even close to Sturmgeschütz. Simply by having bulletproof armour only. So you failed to give an answer. And surely I expected to hear something like "great T-34". But "better than anything"?! I keep holding myself as I promised... But, not the KV-1? Really!? Gosh! There never have been IS-2?! Great Lord! You've probably never heard that the very common practice in RKKA to assign as the commander's tank for the division of t-34... the captured Pzkpfw 3! Ok, let's pretend tank's topic is your only weak spot. But PPD-34! It was "so good", that was soon replaced by PPSр-41 during next years, and completely removed right after war. PPSh was really a good match to MP-40. Almost double rate of fire. Surprisingly accurate for MP's - I was easily hitting the target at 100m. at the shooting range. (Technically it's effective up to 200+!). But it's weigh... Empty one is heavier than my loaded G36, not mentioning M4a1! Almost impossible to load the disk during the battle. Highly unreliable mags. And many more small drawbacks. But the main - availability for usage. As any other MP it's almost useless in open field attacks and trench defence. You don't need to spent over two decades in the army (like I did) to understand that a reliable and accurate rifle (Mosin, Mauser 98, M1 Garand etc.) with 500+ m. range is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE. BTW, all the Soviet MPs were based on early (surprise, surprise!) German models. Yes, the plains were quite equal. However, the huge part of Soviet Aces were setting their records on... Lend lease models. Ooops.. Actually, all the really great Soviet equipment, such as ZIS-3 gun, appeared later on during the war. But German analogues were better, almost in everything. Just not that cheap, hence manufactured in smaller amounts. It's a huge luck Germans didn't make enough of FlaK 18/36/37, otherwise the war would last much longer. The difference between a really good item and one, suitable for mass production is HUGE. Cost-effectiveness doesn't mean quality. Same with simplicity. That's why later on all soviet arms were selling good ONLY to the countries with no fertility problems. Such, where, as in Russia itself, human life means nothing. I can state this with no doubt as I was raised in USSR and know it just perfectly. Again, I'm keeping my promise. So as a conclusion, that all this "great equipment" nonsense is not about you. It's about your bad luck with pathetic teachers and horrible sources. So do your best and study the topic well before writing anything like that and leaving yourself looking stupid.

  25. Harsh truth.

  26. LOl. What a fantasy you have!

  27.  @Magicwillnz  Probably because of your ignorance regarding the case. Incompetence of the commander at every level. Caused by Stalin, mostly in 1937. But lots of his decision did saved some lives. But it's a huge topic. Worth discussing with some who's aware of it. Not you, sorry.

  28.  @Magicwillnz  How can I agree with a very broad (thus - ridiculously incompetent historically) statement? Even though some grains of truth could be found in any broad statement. But none of such will ever make a short explanation for a situation, caused by numerous factors, personalities, and conditions involved. However, people with Dunning-Kruger effect tend to do that mistake constantly. Simply replacing own incompetence with their fantasy...

  29.  @Magicwillnz  It's so sad I didn't add into previous comment that you have problems with logical thinking (tried to be more polite)... Anyway, you've proved perfectly that I was right about it. Thanks for that confirmation. Glad you've managed to check what D-K effect is. It didn't help you to understand it thoroughly... but you've tried :) As a normal person suffering from it (and some other cognitive distortions) you can't admit you have one. That's one of the main confirmation of it.But it's alright, nothing bad to be an average person. A part of amateur majority. However, it's VERY painful to see someone with mediocre skills in logical thinking keeps trying to create a "logical" chain. Sure thing, as one with DK effect, you won't even imagine (and never accept) how ridiculous these attempts are. But just to smash your any further "arguments" and excuses: Where exactly I state I am WW2 expert? Except your fantasies? Exactly. Checkmate!

  30. There have been no air support, minefields and indirect strikes during Sun Zi times. So even great ideas can become absolutely irrelevant. Try something more up to date. Carl von Clausewitz won't work as well...

  33.  @jozsimovcek30  Looks like your history "knowledge" comes from comics magazines. Try googling (as you barely know what books are) "battle for Britain" or "2 first years of WW2". A tip: these were 2 years before "extermination war" against Soviet started ;) Actually even more, as extermination and executions of soviet citizens in a death camps and occupied grounds started only in 1942. Do your best, and you will find how crucial was the invention of radars for Britain to survive against "fellow Germany". Or how they fought in Africa and Asia against "german brothers". LOL Or, you can stay in your fantastic level of ignorance and keep writing something like "Hitler didn't even asked for a war with them".:D Sorry, can't stop laughing...

  34.  @BojanPeric-kq9et  Yeah, sure, so desperate that they succeeded in defence for a year and a half, before a relief caused by East front happened. Edinburgh in weeks, sure thing :) For such "prediction" like yours there's a nice saying: "if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle". "History has no subjunctive mood". It is an axiom. Engrave it and keep in a prominent place to avoid speculations. ...Food for fought: somehow the Channel didn't stop successful Normandy landings...

  35. Oh, so the Red Army was made of ex prisoners, who were attacking (with no proper given reason) a very well defended German positions. And the latter were provided with the most modern equipment from numerous allies, because Germans were protecting there homeland? Thanks for explaining the fantastic losses during year 1941...

  36. Ahahah, you're so funny, darling! How about losses in Russian-Japan war? Or in Winter one against Finland? Or the current one in Ukraine? Why Russians always represent their (stupid) failures as "saving somebody"? Looks like this is your national tradition through the ages. As well as constant Incompetence and disrespect to human's life.

  37. around 12 mil. Still quite a lot. Comparing to 2.8 mil of Germans.

  38. Easy answer are always given by mediocre people. Was there socialism in Russian Empire, when it was fighting ineffectively and loosing? Deffo not. Who was more effective: social-commie Vietnamese or "properly democratic" USA? A tip: we all know who won. So stop evaluating dog's quality by it's ability to climb trees, FFS!

  39. Too bad Germans left too many such as your parents alive. There would be way less garbage in bin bags in Ukraine now. And less stinky vatniks in social media.
