People want to make a big thing out the fact the Soviets held on against the Nazis til they were up against the Volga. Even if the Germans had taken the city what would have stopped Zhukov's offensive. The Axis was way over extended and would still have been cut off no matter what the Russians in the city were doing. There is no way the Axis could have won that war, they were outnumbered 10 to 1, not to mention way outgunned and had nowhere near the resources the Allies had.
@otester Even if they did capture it they never would have been able to hold it. What Hitler really wanted was the Caucasas oil. Stalingrad was just to be taken to protect the north flank and cut off Soviet traffic on the Volga.
Considering just 1/2 of Army Group South managed to take 90% of the city, I find that hard to believe.
Moscow being the main rail artery was the most important, they failed to take it due to Hitler diverting part of Army Group Center south to help Army Group South take Kiev during the summer months loosing time and also giving the Soviets more time to prepare.
@otester When the 6th and 4th Panzer Army were attacking Stalingrad the Germans were way overextended. As they lost more and more men in the meatgrinder of Stalingrad, they had no choice but to protect their long vulnerable northern flank with Romanians, Italians and Hungarians, all of dubious fighting quality, undersupplied and with no desire to die for Adolph Hitler. Capturing Stalingrad would not have changed this. Zhukov could have destroyed those weak auxileries any time he wanted.
I was saying what they did was wrong, the WHOLE of Army Group South should have attacked Stalingrad, best option being a pincer movement.
However the war was already decided by December 1941, the Germans failed to take Moscow due to Hitler's poor decisions, ie: diverting forces south to help Army Group South take Kiev which lost them a few months.
@otester In order to do a pincer movement around Stalingrad they would have had to cross the Volga north and south of it. The Volga is about a mile across down there so that would have been no easy feat. Going that far under enemy fire and then holding the bridgeheads would have been very costly, if they could get across at all, even with the whole of AGS. I agree Hitler lost the war in December 1941 by declaring war on the US especially when the Japanese didn't attack Siberia.
@otester Like you said, Adolph wasn't to adept at making logical decisions. Another act of stupidity was the attorcities he commited against Soviet people who were willing to fight along side the Germans against Stalin and the communists, who had forced them off their farms and starved millions of them, thus making enemies out ot potential allies. He would have had ample opportunity to kill them off AFTER he defeated the USSR.
Those millions of "underdesirables" could have been recruited into the military along with ~500k Ukrainians.
Then you have the industrial problems that come with authoritarian structures, they were all trying to get "in" with Hitler and get rich, so output was pretty poor compared to what it could have been.
Also this is an example of quantity over quantity.. German veteran well armed battalion vs vastly larger number of russian conscripts. didn't they just keep flooding stalingrad with boatloads of troops until the valga froze and they marched an entire army into the city?
quantity over quality is kind of also how we used sherman tanks against the German's Tigers and panzer IV.. Russian T-34 were heavy though
can't imagine how scared they must have been charging the Germans without even a weapon for reassurance and just an ammo clip (even then a clip is barely anything). Hitler kind of shot himself in the foot though here because he wasted a battalion of his veteran troops (what was left of it was merged into other battallions i think) trying to take Stalingrad just because it was named after Stalin and he thought it would hurt morale if it fell or also be a personal insult to Stalin.
Can't agree..though I wasn't there to fight I doubt that honor and bullshit like that matters when it comes down to reality. In movies you try to describe soldiers as heroes and men fighting and willingly dying for what they believe in, but the few real war-veterans I've spoken to hardly even want to talk about it. I say no land or political view is worth dying for, nor freedom or other Braveheart romantic crap like that..all worthless if you're dead. Only thing I'd die for is my beloved ones.
well in yugoslavia you think that people fought for freedom of croatia because they had to?all croatian soldiers in war for freedom were volontiers,we din't had single soldier or weapon our soldiers were attacking yugoslavian baracks (guarded by serbs) to get some weapons
Those bastard commisars, they give soldiers rifles with 5 rounds,no extra ammo, telling them to charge into a line of rifles, tanks and machineguns, while the commisars themselfs have SMG's, LMG', and more ammo. If they were smart enough to use that against the GERMANDS not their own damn men. THE RUSSIANS ARE USING FUGLY WEAPONS FOR INFANTRY ADN FANCY WEAPONS TO KILL THEIR OWN MEN! The wort mistake they could make. Basicly, there telling their soldiers to " go over their and die, or wel kill u"
im sorry but the red army charged into battle many times without those needed supplies and they(my people) won WW 2 with willpower, and the indestructible might called revenge and patriotism
Russian army the most powerful army? You're joking right? Female division? Attacking without weapons?
Many soldiers didn't even know what was going on, they were simply told "the Germans are coming, defend here". They lost 5 times more men and material.
The only reason they 'won' is because Germany was pretty much fighting against the entire world on three fronts and Russia is extremely large and got massive material support from America.
well also Germany was fighting the major powers of the world and actually kicking ass for a while... and so soon after fighting the major powers of the world in the first world war lol...
Germany might have been able to take Britain though cuz the RAF was almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Britain and kept putting out fake wooden planes to make the german scout planes report that they still had a large airforce lol.. that would have completely changed the war
Oh they really were kicking ass! The problem was, Hitler didnt bring the country into full mobilization until the middle of 1944, and his allies were very weak and incapable of really doing much at all. Italy for example, started out the war by invading the Albanian territories to the east, and from the VERY BEGINNING got whooped! Hitler had to bail them out time and time again, and in doing that lost valuable time her needed to keep the blitzkrieg tactics effective as he swept through the East.
yes Italy was very bad in that war. I hadn't even heard of them going into Albania only of their troops in North Africa which was still very little. Hitler allied with them because they were fascist and Hitler was kind of inspired by Mussolini i think? Japan was an odd alliance though because they were on opposite sides of the worl and never even came into contact or worked together really... almost like 2 seperate wars instead of seperate theaters now that i think about it.. lol
He got a big head and decided he would take ultimate leadership of the war and make all decisions himself, which of course cost Germany the war since he was a politician not a tactician. He screwed up every decision he ever made from Dunkirk to the end.
it wasnt the number they feared of it wasnt the soldiers it wasnt the leaders it was the coldness hitler made a mistake when he send germans into russia because there was a freezing temperature -20C i guess and the germans werent ready for such conditions so they couldnt fight anymore because they were too cold they took alot of clothes on them and the clothes slow them down but the russians werent that cold because they were born in that country they were used to those conditions lol
Hitler did make the mistake of trying to invade russia. He thought he would take the russians by surprise since he considered they werent very well prepared for war. Although russia lost millions of soldiers and civilians, russia had superb leaders. The main mistake hitler made was thinking that russia didnt have enough man power and trying to invade a country that is pretty much a frozen tundra. The nazis weren't prepared for the frozen land and the freezing weather.
Actually Russian leaders were very incompetent, Russia survived only because of Hilters bad decisions. The Germans had the power to destroy Russia, with proper planning they would have done it easily.
The truth is - the people were desperate. Hitler promised them a bright future, and they turned their hopes to him. And he did restore Germany's economy and turn a dying country into a superpower.
So it's not at all surprising that the people worshipped him. He had earned their trust, and they honestly believe that he could conquer the world...
there you got a point but not al the germans wanted hitler into power alot of them hated hitler there were 30 plots to kill hitler 20 plots are thought of by germans like valkery so don't say blame germans you shoeld say blame nazi's
Exactly...it was the Nazis that started it all in the first place....not the German people. They were just looking for a savior to bring them out of the despair and depression of WW1.
Exactly B1gO Blame that bastard Adolf Hiter he got his own troops killed by Russia cold dark winter. the troops died of exhaustion, hunger, thirst and sickness. the wehrmacht was the best German military during the Third Reich up until Hitler decided to go on a suicide mission of invading Russia LOL
Yeah....I have to say....that invading Russia was the death of Germany. You just cant conquer a country that big, let alone HOLD onto it....its a frozen wasteland.
i can tell you the ruskies didn't won that war because they had better soldiers or weapons they just had (way) more men and supplies and where prepared for winter
you are partially right on the part they did not win because of better soldiers, however, they did win with better weapons. The Germans themselves agreed that the Russian PPSH-41 jams alot less and is much more reliable due to its large drum. The Russian also had T-34, considered the be the world's best mass-produced medium tank. Don't forget also the Katyushka rocket, light and mobile artillery capable of devastating a large area. The Russian loss initially was all because of the surprise.
myself i wold go for the ppsh larger drum mag plus simple agricultural syle like the ak makes it easier to manafacture plus with the larger drum mag your still firing while evrybody else is scrabbling to reload
@Ske11en Yeah I agree with you about the larger Drum but remember you need at least 5-10 bullets in the German chest to kill him,meanwhile it takes 1 to 2 shoots from stg bullets to take out 1 Russian,moreover the STG can easily outrange and ppsh can be used for multiple purposes such as snipring,close combat quarters,and as a supporter at med ranges,I have conducted a study on both,and I have found out that the only advantage has the ppsh over the STG,is 1STG worth about 5-10ppsh
5-10 bullets in the chest?!? I think you need to go back and recalculate how many bullets you think it takes to kill someone. One shot to the chest, if not an immediate kill, would knock the wind out of the person rendering the person immobile. Then it would most likely cause internal bleeding resulting in a quick death.
those arent polish boots. that type of boot was originally french, then the germans adopted it and modified it. the french then stopped using them as it looked very german, the poles started using them as the germans were a good efficient army so Poland was immitating the German way
"Let us never forget the valiant men who gave their lives for their countries, regardless of what they thought was the right thing to do. They bravely gave their lives up for everything they held dear, and we should keep them in our thoughts."
Wise words B1Go, and a set that we should ALL keep into mind.
plus, the USSR OUTPRODUCED GERMANY IN EVERY SYSTEM(motar, rifles, machine guns, aircraft, tanks etc) so therefore the red army was BETTER EQUIPPED than the Nazis, the notion that there was one rifle for every 2 soldiers was a complete figment of paranoid western cold war propaganda
but they would have never out procdecd them if it wasen 4 the aliies bombing raids on nazi germanys factories...so if it wasent for the alllies...USSR would have lost
the USSR outproduced germany in every weapon system at the height of the war, when the allies had not entered yet, when it was just germany and russia, sorry i forgot to include that.
That is a lie when Stalin signed the Non Agression pact with Hitler it was to buy time for the USSR to get ready. In the war on the eastern front at first there were shortages of munitions and weapons
indeed, it is a clear and consice FACT that the german army was much better eqquiped than the red army in terms of officers, guns, and so on when operation barbarossa started, the wermacht was a superior force, but it never occured to them that the Russians would learn from their "teachers"
There was a german spy that was discovered and started playing a dangerous double agent "game" He told the russians that the japs weren't planning any invasion for Kamchatka peninsula and that they could move their troops to their western front. But when he told them about operation barbarossa they didn't believe him and they were a bit unprepared.
all you people should know that this movie is a complete russophobic figment of imagination, first of all soviet to german losses was around 1:1.2, slightly to the germans favor, secondly, german soldiers were given orders to shoot every captured Red army soldier on the spot, unlike the complete BULLSHIT on this clip, no german "understood" the russians.
The reason they had to keep sending waves of infanty to their death was so that pressure could be appiled to the germans so they dont organize a assult that will make them lose the city. This is the reason that USSR loses over 20 million men during a 5 year period
hey hey hey, that hurt you know? not to be rude, but during the course of the war, in recent study, the soviet union lost 11 million, 40% in the first 1-2 years when the red army was disorganized
acutally this tactic was used mainly in the early part of the war when poor leadership had taken place in units and plus it was used mostly through out the war by penal battalions but was uncommon in regular units
yea really this is one of the most important and famous battles of ww2 this is pretty much where the russians gained most of there mometum back agianst the germans captured a german general and killed 800,000 german soldiers learn ur history mordor this is all on google 800,000 is just a base number the were also german pows and forced civilian fighter casualties
The Kamikazie attacks were just plain stupidity & a pointless waste of life, the Soviets had more common sense than them anyway, their soldiers were deicated & ready to die for their country. Kamikazie pilots were just nuts, over-over-patriotic if you like
oh, do you think it's better to give up the country? there was no choice. the country was too weak because the destructive processes continued after bolshevist revolution and WW1.
how dumb can you be though, you watch a dictator take half the world and bomb the homeland of the biggest empire in the world and they didnt think they wouldn't come for them, and dont come with all this treaty bullshit cuz look what happend to commies in germany so that would have made me worry if i was the biggest communist country in the world
You should read Victor Suvorov's books. Likewise a bit of study on the subject of the deliberate casualty-oriented Soviet operational arts during this period should be helpful.
There is of course no disputing that many of the best officers in the Red Army were killed on Stalin's orders prior to the war. As for the Ukranians, so many of them were persecuted during the Holodomor genocide that many viewed the Nazis as liberators.
None of this is open for dispute. All of it is documented fact.
The Bolsheviks did not have to use their own people like cannon fodder. The NKVD did not have to position machine-gunners to slaughter their own retreating troops. Most of all, Stalin did not have to shoot his good officers because they might be a potential threat to his power in the future.
The operational tactics used by the Bolsheviks were outrageously cruel and inefficient. Only because they outnumbered the Germans by over 3-1, and because of Russian courage, did they manage to win.
I have every respect for the courage and steadfastness of the Russian heroes of Stalingrad. But I have none for the Bolshevik commisars and NKVD, who fed them into that lead fire like cattle, simply to serve the vanity of one outrageously evil man.
You have to understand that there wasn't much choice. They had to, or else if they lost Stalingrad, they'd lose the rest of the Rusia aswell, and there wouldn't be any recovery after that..
This is a good tribute. Forever keep in mind that these young peoples (Russians and Germans) die for something in their heart. They were not motivated by duty.They were all humans. Remember them.
Thank you...i make it a very big deal to remember the dead. Because both my grandpa's fought in the war...the funny thing was that one was an American soldier, and one was a German soldier....its a very fascinating war to study, but very saddening when you think about the millions who died.
well....of course conscription was used by every country involved in the war at some point, but even those soldiers showed great courage despite all the things that were thrown at them.
the germans feared being sent to stalingrad to face the huge number of 'fearless' red army soldiers. Gotta hand it to those Russians, what with all the loses and harsh puishments for retreating, they did pretty well. RIP all dead soviets whose blood is still in the ground at stalingrad.
Yeah. It wasnt a year, you're right. It was half a year. Thanks for that :) Its good to know that there are more historians out there like myself. Keep the history alive!
you guis are dumb u shouldnt argue with such things all we need to knwo that stalingrad was a cursed place for the rushan and the nazis that the blood of many people were spiled there just becaus of two men that had a personal war.STALIN WAS NO DIFERENT THAN HITLER!!! HE KILLED MORE RUSSIANS THEN GERMANS HE LEADED THEM TO DEATH ON STALINGARD!!! it was a tragical place stalingrad and we should never forget that place!!!
According to BOOKS I read, like the battle of stalingrad (anthony beevor) the number of lossen on both sides was FAR higher, and I'm pretty sure the russian losses were far higher.

Hitler did make the mistake of trying to invade russia. He thought he would take the russians by surprise since he considered they werent very well prepared for war. Although russia lost millions of soldiers and civilians, russia had superb leaders. The main mistake hitler made was thinking that russia didnt have enough man power and trying to invade a country that is pretty much a frozen tundra. The nazis weren't prepared for the frozen land and the freezing weather.

Actually Russian leaders were very incompetent, Russia survived only because of Hilters bad decisions. The Germans had the power to destroy Russia, with proper planning they would have done it easily.

Blame Germany. The people let Hitler and all his fellow Monsters into power and then they worshiped the Nazis fanatically.
isamarine 2 years ago
The truth is - the people were desperate. Hitler promised them a bright future, and they turned their hopes to him. And he did restore Germany's economy and turn a dying country into a superpower.
So it's not at all surprising that the people worshipped him. He had earned their trust, and they honestly believe that he could conquer the world...

i can tell you the ruskies didn't won that war because they had better soldiers or weapons they just had (way) more men and supplies and where prepared for winter
samgillispwnage 2 years ago
you are partially right on the part they did not win because of better soldiers, however, they did win with better weapons. The Germans themselves agreed that the Russian PPSH-41 jams alot less and is much more reliable due to its large drum. The Russian also had T-34, considered the be the world's best mass-produced medium tank. Don't forget also the Katyushka rocket, light and mobile artillery capable of devastating a large area. The Russian loss initially was all because of the surprise.
kasumoto2008 2 years ago
true the T-34 and KATYUSHKA where the work of geniuses
but the russians did lose almost all of their regulars in the 1 week of the invasion
but still i would choose a MP40 or sturmgewehr above a PPSH-41

An mp 44 vs a ppsh interesting choice
myself i wold go for the ppsh larger drum mag plus simple agricultural syle like the ak makes it easier to manafacture plus with the larger drum mag your still firing while evrybody else is scrabbling to reload
Ske11en 2 years ago
@Ske11en Yeah I agree with you about the larger Drum but remember you need at least 5-10 bullets in the German chest to kill him,meanwhile it takes 1 to 2 shoots from stg bullets to take out 1 Russian,moreover the STG can easily outrange and ppsh can be used for multiple purposes such as snipring,close combat quarters,and as a supporter at med ranges,I have conducted a study on both,and I have found out that the only advantage has the ppsh over the STG,is 1STG worth about 5-10ppsh
^^.
MyKerberos 2 years ago
5-10 bullets in the chest?!? I think you need to go back and recalculate how many bullets you think it takes to kill someone. One shot to the chest, if not an immediate kill, would knock the wind out of the person rendering the person immobile. Then it would most likely cause internal bleeding resulting in a quick death.

indeed, it is a clear and consice FACT that the german army was much better eqquiped than the red army in terms of officers, guns, and so on when operation barbarossa started, the wermacht was a superior force, but it never occured to them that the Russians would learn from their "teachers"
sovietkotek 2 years ago
There was a german spy that was discovered and started playing a dangerous double agent "game" He told the russians that the japs weren't planning any invasion for Kamchatka peninsula and that they could move their troops to their western front. But when he told them about operation barbarossa they didn't believe him and they were a bit unprepared.
jrriojase 2 years ago
all you people should know that this movie is a complete russophobic figment of imagination, first of all soviet to german losses was around 1:1.2, slightly to the germans favor, secondly, german soldiers were given orders to shoot every captured Red army soldier on the spot, unlike the complete BULLSHIT on this clip, no german "understood" the russians.
sovietkotek 2 years ago
The reason they had to keep sending waves of infanty to their death was so that pressure could be appiled to the germans so they dont organize a assult that will make them lose the city. This is the reason that USSR loses over 20 million men during a 5 year period

You should read Victor Suvorov's books. Likewise a bit of study on the subject of the deliberate casualty-oriented Soviet operational arts during this period should be helpful.
There is of course no disputing that many of the best officers in the Red Army were killed on Stalin's orders prior to the war. As for the Ukranians, so many of them were persecuted during the Holodomor genocide that many viewed the Nazis as liberators.
None of this is open for dispute. All of it is documented fact.
DrCruel 2 years ago
The Bolsheviks did not have to use their own people like cannon fodder. The NKVD did not have to position machine-gunners to slaughter their own retreating troops. Most of all, Stalin did not have to shoot his good officers because they might be a potential threat to his power in the future.
The operational tactics used by the Bolsheviks were outrageously cruel and inefficient. Only because they outnumbered the Germans by over 3-1, and because of Russian courage, did they manage to win.
