-

Germany destroyed 38k soviets tanks, over 18k soviet planes, taken prisoner of 10 million soviet prisoners, killed another 15 million soviet soldiers. Most countries would of fell as a result of this.
-
I was in a ww2 documentary mood this evening so this was great timing
-
Their supply lines were too long. Their line was too weak in too many plances when the Russians finally did counter properly, after Stalingrad they should have all been allowed to perform a rapid and effective defensive retreat instead of just delaying the inevitable and slowly weakening all the force in the east. Lack of oil, hoping to capture the supplies they needed while their armies literally freeze and starve to death. It was a clusterfk like no other.

Not a phone in sight. Just people living in the moment
-
The problem with blitzkreig is it exhaust a lot of supplies in a relatively short period. Making it very difficult to keep it up.
-
Unlike the 66 diff rehashed WW2 Eastern Front vids this 1 is actually the great WW2 In Color series from '09.
-
I always wondered why H man made fairly decent military decisions until halfway thru the war, then suddenly started making horrible military decisions, sacking 35 of his top military officers explains a lot
-
Germans fighting in minus 45 degrees in their summer clothes is something of a sight. 🤣
-
4:00 You forgot to mention that originally the Italians were tasked to take the Balcans, to secure the Romanian oil fields, but failed, so German troops had to be diverted.
-
The day Germany marched into Russia was the day they lost the way. The Day Japan attacked the U.S. is the day they lost.
-
Never gets old
-
History repeats its self.Great lesson we learn from these doc.
-
Excellent!
-
Why blurry some things here thats part of history and other stuff on youtube is open for everyone to see
-
So, the Germans had been defeated by General Winter! Stupid Cold War theory.
-
As a result of Operation Barbarossa, the Soviets instigated the creation of "an elaborate system of buffer and client states, designed to insulate the Soviet Union from any possible future attack."
-
There was no way it would work because the Russians could simply send in there army's from the far east with zero worry from Japan.
-
Invading in the first place was the strategic mistake
