  1. Part of it was captured. They didnt reach Baku, but they did reach Grozny. @Dirtywesterner

  2. And why did Bandera killed Poles hmm? They werent communists. I tell you why, because it has nothing to do with communism, he was just as bad as Stalin himself, just wasnt that influencial or important. @cyril9759

  3. Well, no Lend lease was insignificant, especially in the early stages on the war. the bulk of it was delivered when the soviets actually prepped for the battle of Berlin.

  4. Yeah, Stalin was Georgian, Hitler was Austrian, and Napoleon was Corsican.

  5. Composite bows are glued together, so its a pretty good assumption if those can withstand the stress, then an equivalent armor would widhstand the arrow.

  6. Lol no, Lend lease contributed 5% of Soviet's wartime production. Check wikipedia if you dont believe me. Oh BTW Marshall plan was 10 billion USD in current inflation adjusted rate. To think that Musk spends 4x that money on a social media site is crazy. Americans pretty much like to overhype their minuscule contributions.

  7. Why would germany fight in Soviet Russia, if the German mainland is not connected to the newly conquered territories? That would make zero sense. Poles must be conquered in order to Hitler fight the Soviet Union. Polish politicians verent too bright at the time, and thought they could get together a pact with Hitler to attack the soviets together, but that still wouldnt solve the basic logistical question.

  8. Well, to your last point, it is the biggest plus that the Americans and the Soviets ever had, that they didnt turn their coldwar into a hotwar. That fact shows their moral superiority to nazi Germany.

  9. Lol dear, American tanks were crappy even when the war finished, why do you think they were better when it started? Its pretty much a fact that the only reason why the Sherman is not considered as the worst tank of WWII is because the Grant tank existed before it. @EkaterinaNorman ​

  10. The middle eastern oilwells were controlled by the Brits, and that wasnt that significant production in the 40s. More than 50% of the world oil production came from the USA back then.

  12. Well, Zhukov actually beat the Kwantung army, they had a try at the battles of Khalkin Gol, thatswhy japs werent fond of an invasion against the Soviets. The greatest plus was that they could regroup him and his experienced 40 batallions from the far east to the battle of Moscow. There was no tank commander like Zhukov, noone came close to him, not even Guderian or Patton. The sole person who could send even Stalin to hell, and lived a day after. He had a strange second instinct that he knew exactly where the enemy will strike, thatshow he defeated the Germans in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Kursk, and the Operation Bagration.

  13. Most of the Lend lease moved through Iran on the Tehran trail, so it wouldnt cut it. Murmansk was only operable during the summer months. But lend lease was pretty overhyped regarding to the soviets, it contributed somewhat 5% of their production, it certainly wasnt a lifeline, only a nice to have. So your conscience could be cleared, the US didnt help that much in WWII, and mainly helped for themselves by not having to face the real wehrmacht in D-day.

  14. Lol the commonwealth, as you call it was in tatters, and they dont even get the beating from the Germans but the Japs. They captured Malaysia and Singapore in a mere 2 month, where there were more British soldiers than the expeditionary forces sent to France, bombed Western Australia, and prepped their battlefleet for an allout invasion in the Coral sea, meanwhile taken Burma by suprise, and even break into India, where the locals were quite sympathetic to their cause. The greatest blow what the Germans could do to the commonwealth, if Rommel would be successful, and cut the Suez canal, in that case, the only member of the Commonwealth, which wouldnt be knocked out from the game would be Canada, but here comes the real question, Chuchill based his calculation that if he lose the British isles he could retreat to Canada and continue the war from there, but I dont know the actual appetite for the Canadians to support a fallen empire on their own blood. Doing the normandian landing was in itself a risky venture, which was near the english shores, doing it through the Atlantic without having a base in Europe is almost impossible.

  15. Well, in the western front dear you objectively faced guys who came from the Hitlerjugend, not even men, but highschool boys, and they almost beat your asses. The sole occasion when Americans met the real wehrmacht was known as the battle of the bulge, when they ran down 500 km in mere 3 days.

  16. Not by a long shot. Hitler has around 40 million on his account. Stalin reigned over a 120 million strong country, and didnt killed 1/4 of it. Basic math always tells the truth.

  17. Yeah thats a common myth that Hitler cared about Stalingrad because of its political wins, but actually Adolf himself stated in his public speech in front of the Nurenberg rally, that he cant care less about Stalingrad, or its namesaker, he needs the oil, otherwise he will have to quit the war. @cheeto8960

  19. Lol you dont understand why the Germans fought the war on the firstplace. They werent liberators, they wanted to conquer lands for the german settlers. The only reason why ukrinian or belorussian ppeasants would be left alive is to serve their German overlords.

  20. That machine gun thing came as the misunderstanding Stalin's general order 6. While he was a horrible man, it is a historical fact, that not a step backward was exclusively ordered for officers and high command, because it was a lot of times the case that a ton of conscripts remained without officers, who evacuated too early their headquarters, and the line of communication became very shaky.

  21. Lol Lend lease contributed to 5% of the Soviet GDP. It was so minuscule, that in the battle of stalingrad they used some 20 Grant tanks, while they used 900 T34-s.

  22. Oh, nazis wouldnt stop in Europe, they would have invaded the US as well. Japs had an entire battlefleet ready to strike on the west coast, after Pearl Harbour and the battle of Midway. Germans are a question, but if they crush the brits, and get the royal navy, then the US wouldnt stand a chance.

  23. You mean the Soviet union got into a nonagression pact with the Nazis AFTER they all invaded the Soviet Union in a failed intervention to stop bolshevism, yeah even the Brits the French and the Americans were there but they were beaten out by the red army, just they were AFTER the Western powers didnt help the Spanish republicans, AFTER the western powers gave Czechoslovakia, the sole ally of the Soviet Union, to Hitler, and to have a little fun AFTER Poland took its share from the Chzechoslovakian cake. Yeah thats the top, that the Poles stole territories from the Czechs the very same way how the Soviets stole territories from them later on, and the icing on the cake is the thousand of pages of diplomatic cables, where the Poles offered alliance to Hitler to declare war on the Soviets. It was a very realistic hypotesis from the Soviet side that in the case of a nazi agression western powers would side with them, or at least watch it from the sidelines. Of course Stalin didnt trusted "kill the bolshie kiss the Hun" Winston Churchill, noone would do with a sane mind. But I guess they leave it out from your western educational books. Honestly this whole BS about the nonagression pact was invented after the war, noone took it seriously it was that logical move,only the Brits cried a little because of it, which was funny since their conservative government had ice cold relations with the soviets.  @NoumenonAndPhenomenon

  24. I thought that Hitler and the British empire were enemies in WWII and not over Soviets, but over Poles.

  25. Well, the British foreign policy kindof always based on the assumption to never let a single European continental superpower to emerge, because that could easily conquer their island. Thatswhy they fought Napoleon, and thatswhy they had to fight Hitler as well. Poland was crucial because there were two candidates for that, the Germans and the Soviets, and both of them first needed to crush Poland to commence. @dejabu24

  26. Well, they beat france which on paper had 4x more man, tanks and aircrafts than Germany. He really believed that the west is decadent, and German military is superior.

  27. MAybe Putin, but Xi? No way, he didnt invade anyone.

  28. It is a least well known fact, but Wehrmacht used all of its forces to invade Poland. French sent in a scout bataillon shortly after the declaration of war, they instantly moved forward by 200 km in the Rhineland, and reported back, that Germany is totally empty, and if the French forces attack now, they can capture Berlin in a few days, but they were ordered back. They thought the Maginot line will defend them.

  29. Yeah Hitler was kindof right to focus on Ukraine and the Caucasus instead of Moscow. Military strategists tend to think like chessplayers, tking the capitol of the enemy in chess terms beating the king. But in real life, Stalin could have just retreated to the Urals, and the situation would be that the Germans even if they capture Moscow would control less than 20% of the Soviet Union. The Caucasus oil and the Urkainian grain on the other hand would give the Wehrmacht the material edge to run a very prolonged war against the Soviets, while the soviet manufacturing would lose most of its raw materials..

  30. And the next winter. And the winter after, and the winter of 1944, the sole reason they werent trapped in the Soviet Union in the winter of 1945, because they were pushed back to Poland.

  34. Well, why didnt they completely annihilate the Soviets next year? They were in the Soviet union for 4 years. @chalkandcheese1868

  35. Lol if you would only know that by the official explanation Soviets didnt accept the Geneva convention protocol, because under US pressure it required racial segregation between POW's and nonwhite prisoners werent treated as humans by it. Thatswhy Hitler, while spared the french prisoners, he could legally massacre any colonial black auxiliray units who fought in the battle of France.

  36. When you dont have food, dont have electricity, dont have money, and they take your family to the frontlines to hold up Russia, and perpetuate the miseries into ethernity, you will realize, that stability is the fundament of a working state, and all the we hate russians BS will be gone, because thats one level up on the Maslow pyramid.
