There's one issue you forgot to bring up. The Soviets where in the middle of their mobilization process with many units still not having received the men and equipment they where supposed to have while the German army had already mobilized at the start of the war. It takes time for troops to arrive. So essentially the Soviets where outnumbered throughout the whole start of the war.

That kind of mindset, actually investigating things from a outside perspective is sorely needed. We have some issues like that here in Europe too. Perhaps have a look? A outside perspective might be more appreciated then the view of a distrusted neighbor.

6:54 There's one issue with that statement. He was killed fighting Norwegians Don't get me wrong, Norway was in a personal union with Denmark from 1380 to 1814. But we where not a part of the Danish kingdom but rather a separate kingdom with the same monarch for most of our time under Denmark. We came under Danish controll in 1380 and till 1661 we remained a different realm with different laws, a different goverment etc, etc. Our separate "riskråd" ("The Council of the Realm"/"The Council of the State"/"Privy Council") wasn't abolished till 1536, and when Denmark-Norway implemented laws to become a absolute monarchy in 1660 we didn't start signing those laws into place in Norway till 1661. After 1660 (and among other things in 1718 when he was killed in Norway) we where a different ethnic group and different culture and while technically integrated the process was less then perfect to put it that way... Or in other words, in peoples minds Norway where still a seperate realm/entity even if it technically was integrated into the Danish Kingdom in 1660. So most people here would probably strongly oppose the idea that he was killed by Danes when he was in fact killed by a mostly Norwegian garrison of Fredriksten fortress. We where still a different *people*. That said, our shared king was essentially worshiped almost religiously so actually leaving the union was unthinkable for most of us.
