The Eastern fron'ts conditions were horrific. Agreed Germany was doomed. The Russian/Soviets would fight to the death for their homeland. German communications and supply chain was stretched beyond their capabilities due to distance and sheer size of Soviet Union.
My grandfather fought at Anzio, Italian front in the USA 5th division. Not a lot of snow but rain and WW1 style trench warfare. They were resigned to eating rats at one point when their supplies ran out and were surrounded.
soviet manpower, huge territory, great weapons like t-34 and submachineguns and a sense of inmense sacrifice by the Russian people...and ZHUKOV!!!! all together destroyed germany...
the germans could have won if only Hitler had let his generals fight the war hitler sucked at war stragy and becouse of that they lost stailgrad would have never happened if hitler had just listen to his generals
@deadlyvampericora666 Three major battles in three fronts turned the balance of the war , Midway(pacific ocean) ,Al alamein( Africa) and Stalingrad (Eastern front).
Yah, I'm sure that is why his decision to pull men and armor from Kursk turned out so well, and that other little thing never allowing Luftwaffe fighter command to go on the dfensive turned out great too, I can already tell yor an anti-sammite, so I won't touch that. But hit the books more!!!!
Most likely to be the winter of 44/45possibly 43/44 but no earlier by the looks of the equipment, nie slideshow by the way and beautiful music. thanks
Poor boy at 0:33. He looks frightened. I'm sure he didn't make throughout the war and died there in Russia. What a loss of life, youth and manpower... A whole generation of handsome, strong and capable men, sent to die on the battlefield in the name of a scum like Adolph Hitler. Hope you all will think of this next time the "opportunity" for a war will present. It's worthless.
Hoths relief corp had some tigers but the majority of those pics are later war.
As for stalingrad.The Germans were simply ground down.
Hitler initially wanted to destroy the city, then he wanted to occupy it(a victory vs the city of Stalins name)at the same time Stalin put everything into holding the city.Not one step back!!
There is nothing beyond the Volga was the motto..and the Germans said "Soon you will be blowing bubbles"(we will drive you to the water)
Not "one step back" not because the russians were more brave or powerful, but simply because the "komissar" of the Communist Party threated every russian soldier with the death if they "stepped back". It was either the battlefield, either a bullet in the head because desertors were executed immediately. Read some REAL history.
Both of my grandfathers and my grandmother at the age of 18, my grand grandfather went to the war as the volunteers to fight for their Motherland and there was no komissars behind them!
One German General compared the Russian campaign to an elephant marching into a huge field of ants. Although the elephant killed millions of ants, they eventually surrounded it, covered it, and slowly ate it right down to the bone.
Because stalingrad was first bombed to ruins before the first german troops reached the city, wich created resistance, making the infrastructure a total waist and thus making advancement harder and defence easier. Stalingrad could have been taken in advance tho... just like Moscow could in 1941, and ofcourse it was mostly the german leader to blame why they didnt do that.
Couldn't the sixth army have done huge damage to Stalingrad then pulled back to a more defensable position and waited until spring to renew the offensive?
they would've died either way. the germans were too weak to defeat the red army. hitler made a mistake trying to pick a fight with the most powerful army in the world.
The red army was NOT the most powerful army in the world, the Wehrmacht was, but they were outnumbered, not used to the russian temperatures and Hitler changed orders every 5 minutes, so this way it was impossible to win whatsoever.
by 1943 the red army was the most powerful army in the world. it was proven that the slavic race was the most advanced most powerful race in the world.
"Race"??? you're talking about race and feel proud of it?? come on, wake up, there is not such a master race and nothing to be proud of. In any case, the slavic "race" (the soviet army was mainly formed by mogols, so no slavic) it would be NEVER the most anything. Germans have proved to be much better with an inferior number.
The soviet army was not the most powerful, it was simply because the USA gave them new tanks and weapons, and everything, because it was decided that the Allies win.
i'm not proud of it! i'm just saying that in Europe, the Slavic race is the superior race.
Germans? germans were eating bugs and donkeys before hitler duped them all over how germany was the best country in the world. by 1942 the whole world thought the Soviet union was toast and by 1943 millions of germans troops were dying in stalingrad and moscow destroyed by the red army. by 1944 90% of the german army was toast and only then the allies decided to open a second front.
The USA have been selling weapons to USSR since 1942, you stupid, learn something and read some good books that open your eyes. It was in 1942 when the USA entered the warm you stupid, because of Pearl Harbour, and they contributed to the European theater of operations by selling weapons to the USSR.
And don't make me laugh with your "superior slavic race". It's a shit of race, made by assassins, lazy and corrupted people. It's because you come from Russia, that you say that? Hahaha
That expains why Russian soldiers were drinking water out of the toilets in German houses when conquering German soil....easy to mistake a toilet bowl with a wash-bowl if you do not know the difference...
as well as u have to take account of what would have happened even after kursk if the 500 000 elite soldiers and 1 million men in france alone were fighting in the eastern front. they would have made a tremendous difference.
In 1944 early in the morning in Hamburg Germany the foster parents of an 8 year old girl heard the door banged violently by the gestapo,they took the girl and sent her to Auschwitz, she dident know her crime a year in hell only saved by a kapo who took pity on her ,she would of died by gas hunger or beatings renember 8 years old, her crime was her grandmother was a gypsy her real mother a half gypsy, her foster father knew some powerfull people so he managed to get her realesed and he collected
her, on the way home there was german oficer there and he said as he showed the little girls beaten legs look this is what you are fighting for at the front the oficer was stupified as he realised hes efforts were keeping this vile system in power, so think how long the sufering would of gone on had the million men had fought in kursk and kept them vile basterds in power longer, that litle girl was one of the lucky ones she came back home millions from all over europe never did and died terribly
that doesent have to do at all with the strategy of the time which partly i was trying to describe. what i said was that the massive american invasions were importand for the allied victory. that both allies and commitern needed each other and that the victory was conbined. i think i was replying on someones question,
but we werent talking about war crimes,the germans had reasons to not surrender as surrender was horrible in the previous war and led to all sorts of things , the allies wanted only uncodnditional surender and there were simply too many criminals by then in germany to surender easily.
