Hitler would admonish his soldier’s freezing to death in Russia, be a Man fight until death.
Meanwhile soldiers had frostbite missing ears, fingers and Manhood extremities.

Hitler authored a catalogue of mistakes. And it could very easily be argued that the only difference between his early so called "successes" and his ultimate defeat was that his luck changed. More accurately, he faced determined and organized resistance.

[MilitarySummaryChannel]

Hitler's invasion of Russia failed for the same reasons Napoleon's invasion of Russia failed. Stiff resistance, the harsh Russian winter and incredibly long supply lines!

Contrary to the narrator's assertion at 12:08, by January 1945 Germany had already lost occupied territories in France, Belgium, Italy, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Greece, Yugoslavia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Hungary and most of Poland. It was still fighting, not for victory but to avoid defeat.

Huge, and I mean HUGE appreciation and respect for not blurring out history like 99.9% of every other YT video about war, especially WWII. History should never be censored, particularly the things that are supposed to warn us about repeating past conflicts! 👍👏 🫡

[donLatitisavanderworken]

Using the attack on the USS Arizona to show the attacks in Europe is NOT COOL

The neighbor lady, always said that he was always such a nice boy.

[frankiehunter.]

No one praises Stalin. After things went bad in the begining he bacame also the minister of defence. If he hadn't made a successful industralization in the thirties Russia would have been defeated. Till 1917 Russia was a backward, agrarian country. He knew the capitalistic states would attack his country and prepared splendidly.

The main problem is that Hitler couldn’t lead ants to a picnic.

24:59 'decimated', not 'desolated'!

[davidhatton]

Stalingrad had relatively few civilian casualties as most people who lived there left as the battle heated up

[davidhatton]

Skipped right over the part where Hitler declared war unilaterally on the USA. At this moment the US was Only really interested in getting back at Japan. Seems to me Hitler had very little understanding of what the USA was capable of. Maybe he was trying to Help the Japanese per their agreements… but the Japanese Never helped him at all… and even the relatively small diversion of resources to the pacific region didn’t really help… the Allies NEVER let the pacific really interfere with their efforts in Europe

A mouse would neva build his own trap!! Man will always build his own trap

Nothing new here - just a rehash of all the events of WWII

[FacetheScrn]

The problem is that Russia had developed the SKS rifle and was about to tool up and produce 1 million of them annually. Had Germany waited, they would have had an even more difficult task. Many Russians were sent into battle unarmed with instructions to pick up a rifle from the guy in front of them after he gets killed.

Also, the USA gave the Soviets the equivalent of over $150 billion of today's dollars. Without that, Germany actually stood a good chance. Or at least it wasn't as crazy and stupid as some would have us believe. No, I'm not romanticizing the Nazis, just trying to be objective. Imagine if a million more Soviets had an SKS to take into battle. It would have been way too late to invade them then.

PS I hadn't thought of it much until I got an SKS and was researching its history. Quite a good rifle for its designated task. Simple yet elegant. I can field strip it pretty quick because it's only like 7 parts, 4 of which come out on the first step.

The Japanese were masters of strategy? I'm pretty sure that most historians say that the Battle of Kursk was the turning point, not Stalingrad.

20 mins in and already had 6 ad breaks like really

[kriskris]

Hitler never wanted to go west. In October 1939 he publicly offered a peace to England and France. And facing the USSR at only one front, who knows what would happen.

YouTube still doing their censor BS with the comments. Oh the irony
