Barbarossa part 1

[jack60091]

Danke Adolf! Love Mozart.

[EasyCompanyAirborne]

So the Europeans once again invaded the Eastern people. It took men of greatness, men from the USMC and men of Easy Company to stop this Euromadness. All praise to the great men of WW2, men like Staff Sergeant Will Bill Guarnere and Major Bill Winters and Capt Lewis Nixon, not to mention battle hero Gunnie Manila John Basilone.

The Operation was a disaster with Moscow.

[tisoy909]

It was once said that you can chase a russian soldier away with a wet hat!

[ArseneLupin2009]

@tisoy909 was it said by:

a) Napoleon ?

b) King Charles of Sweden ?

c) Hitler ?

By the way, each of them was spanked

by the Russians to say the least.

I am sure none of the US Army generals said it.

@ArseneLupin2009 My grandfather, and he was a Hungarian!

[tisoy909]

@ArseneLupin2009 My Grandfather, and he was a Hungarian soldier!

[ArseneLupin2009]

@tisoy909 well, the Hungarians were known as excellent light cavalry (at least in 17, 18 and 19 century). I think the famous "hussars" originated in Hungary

@BorisychAnton

You are so right....  Johann Sebastian Bach is abused here. But anyway... if you see the video, it makes you thinking about German culture....

Germans are so great and so terrible at the same time.... How can it be like that?? Germany... I love them... I hate them... I love them....

Germans... the craziest people on earth... they should live on their own planet...

but without them our philosophy and music and science would be so poor....

I hate love Germans....

HEIL HITLER!!!

[randy95023]

Barbarossa was the greatest clash of forces in modern warfare. Soviets proved amazingly resilient to the German onslaught. USSR got "crushed" by the Wehrmacht, far worse than the French but Soviets didn't surrender. God Bless our Gallant Soviet Allies!

[randy95023]

continued- Had the French pulled their forces back, even surrendering Paris they could have fought on and if not beat the Wehrmacht they sure could have tried a little. Many Soviets died because the French chose not to participate to the extent necessary. They thought "Vichy" (apathetic collaberation) was better than fighting. Do the French even deserve the Freedom that the Soviets paid for in blood? Just a thought...

[AirborneFan101]

Ran out of space. Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved lives sounds like a weird statement, but without them Japan would have had to be invaded and that would have cost millions of lives, as opposed to thousands in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[AirborneFan101]

@AzWaCaFla Hitler's decisions were not to preserve human lives. He began a war that cost 70 million lives, ordered the massacre of Jews, and even put 12-16 year old Hitler Youth on the frontline to preserve the life of his Reich for a few more days. Plus, the Americans aimed to kill people? Only Japanese soldiers and other enemy combatants. Bombings were a way to end the war faster, although in places it was way out of proportion e.g. Dresden. Even the atomic bombings saved lives.

[maco10810]

Its human nature to hate the bully, so dont become the bully - you figure it out bright spark.

The one who oppresses will be destroyed so dont be the oppressor.

[pufycino]

Too bad the russian subhumans were not exterminated. Hopefully the world will do a better job next time. FUCK RUSSIA!

[ip215]

@pufycino Good luck capitalist swine. With any luck your family will be worked to death in some remote Russian gulag.

[TheTurdTemple]

Operation Barbarossa carried the hopes of the entire world since Germany could have never defeated such a large foe as the USSR in a defensive war. Hitler had to attack Russia to defeat the jewish plan to Bolshevize the world and the surprise offensive was designed to prevent Stalin from stacking his front lines with Christians and other dissidents. The strategy of Hitler always aimed to preserve as many lives as possible while Stalin always aimed to throw away as many lives as possible.

[GRINDZ440]

Great to see photo's of the common German soldier! They are so overlooked! They were heroes just as much as any American.

[naqolay]

FUCK HİTLER

QEHBE BALASİ

Great job flashbang!

[SteveGad]

So nice to have a post that is both powerful AND devoid of the usual crappy Nu Metal rubbish that so often accompanies (and ruins) powerful imagery.

Thank You.

[xajimas]

muy bien  montado¡¡

[THordasson]

Have any of you read the brilliant book "In Deadly Combat: A German Soldier's Memoir of the Eastern Front" by Gottlob Bidermann? Sold by Amazon.

Bidermann's account debunks the myth of a highly mechanized German army that rolled over weaker opponents with impunity. In fact the German were as dependent on horses as Napoleons Grande Armée had been in 1812. Also the T-34 was more powerful then the Panzer IV. Finally - the Soviet had snipers.

Read the book. Highly recommended.

[AzWaCaFla]

Hitler knew that Germany could never win a defensive war against such a large foe as communist russia so he had to go on the offense. Hitler didn't first declare war on the soviets because he knew that Stalin would then stack the front lines with christians and other undesirables to be conveniently slaughtered. All of Hitler's decisions were designed to preserve as many lives as possible while Stalin and the Americans always aimed to kill as many people as possible to show ruthlessness

[zentralwerkstatt]

Watching those documentaries throughout youtube one recognizes how close Germany was to be successful with the "Blitz-Krieg"-strategy. Maybe 6 weeks earlier to start with Barbarosse or maybe 20% less of distance to go to Moscow.

But the final message is not to forget all those casualties. They teach us not to follow any kind of "Führer" again, may his name be Hitler, Stalin or even Obama...when they want to fight for whatever, they should do on their own...

[jaruzelska23]

On june 6th 1944 during the D-day landings the German Army was just a shadow of what it had been four years earlier.

The war with the USSR cost Germany 86% of their military casualties in the whole war.

Some say only 75%, but if you count frostbites, desieses and accidents it brings it up to 86% according to Niklas Zetterling and Antony Beevor.

[l1i2m3p4]

that might be right. but i dont think that operation barbarossa was hjis biggest mistake. i think there are two other mistakes: hitlers war in africa and his tries to cinquer the uk. the energy from afrcia should had been in operation barbarossa too. an the uk has ever been a wall of defence. and the uk already had help from the usa. and as strog as the wehrmacht was...hitler never had beaten the usa.

[12from12]

He HAD to go to Africa., to protect the Italian alliance it was Not a mistake since politically he had to do it. The English came very close to making peace in 1940 but knew that the germans had to fight the russians so decided to hold out. They were also getting assured that the Americans would find a way to join in.

[outcastofhell]

operation barbarossa was definitely hitler's biggest mistake. Russia was basically the only nation in Europe which could contend with the Wehrmacht. The British had been forced to retreat from France and although they had won the Battle of Britain, they would not have been able to invade Normandy without the Americans. So without Barbarossa and without Pearl Harbor, the Axis would definitely have won the war.

But thank god, they didn't!

[Deathugee]

i disagree, Germany came very close to being successful on the eastern front.

[STANDINGINTHERAIN132]

I agree it honestly all came down to stalingrad actual fact.

[Southland27]

His other big mistake was declaring war on the USA and allowing Britain to become a giant airstrip and launching point for the biggest military invasion in history. We can all look back and judge of course, but Hitler thought he was a General when clearly he was not and his very poor decisions lost Germany the war. As you say "thank god, they didn't!"

[jimmy27paul]

It was the biggest anphibius invasion not the biggest invasion that would be operation baraborossa the german invasion of the soviet union.

[Casandre62]

Quand l'operation barbarossa ce declanchera le monde retiendra son soufle . il ce souvient surtout que sa etait le debut de la fin pour le 3 reich et que cette guerre a couté la vie a des millions d'hommes de femmes et d'enfants voila de ce que le monde ce souvient....

[shoa31]

The reason you are here is because Hitler made mistakes.

[dappadan22]

the biggest mistake hitler made was to attack poland and bring britain and france into the war first. if germany and japan atacked russia first, germany from the east and japan from the west in a giant pincer movemement the russia would have been beaten, then they could of turned their attentions to the reat of europe and america wouldnot of got involved if there was no pearl harbour. so japan and germany both made terrible mistakes that cost them victory in russia and europe.

[Birdiche]

Except for the fact that without Poland out of the way , the only Border Germany Would have had with Russia would have been the small border with former lithuania , this is assuming that the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact was still signed.

If not , the Germans either have to go through Romania or land on the heavily defended area around Leningard.

[Tasarte]

Birdiche is right, with that small frontier Germany couldn't fight with USSR. The real mistakes was for Japan, attack USA when this country was aislacionist, por Germany, first attack USSR without defeat UK, then declare war to USA.

[KleineHansel]

Yes, I suppose but it's a good thing the nazis made mistakes. I would not want to live in a world controlled by nazis.

[uanimale]

i would fagget.

[12from12]

you do , they just have another name and theme song

[n8tivguitar]

ever watch the movie casino when there blowing down the old casinos same song

[machierl]

You should have become a German General in WW2 dappadan22!!

Japan attack Russia? Do you know the map? There is nothing but icy territory from Wladivostok to the Ural mountains! And the hard russian winter in 41/42 is the main reason why Germany lost the war! France and Britain were defeated respectively forced to retreat by 1940! Dunkerque?!? Anyway, our generation´s luck that we nowadays don´t have to live under Nazi rule...Einen schönen Tag noch

[12from12]

lol how was germany suppose to attack russia without knocking poland over? Why do you think he went to war over danzig in the first place?

[sugarpuddin88]

Whose going to protect us from the bankers of Wall Street now?

[morecoje]

operation moscow:hitler stopped operation moscow to one weekend..toook troops,tanks and infantry from army middle to armies north and south..that was big mistake because that one week was very important later when germans tried to beat moscow!next mistkae:germans wasnt trained to tactic break-back that was big mistake...hitler also didnt let their great generals to lead the war themselves...BECAUSE OF THOSE FACT OPERATION BARBAROSSA FAILED...what i pity

[morecoje]

sory htiler stooped operation tajfun-attack on moscow to one week,seven days

[morecoje]

Stalin was foool,non-objective man,without talent of leading the wars or the state....but hitler was bigger foool...because stalin let his generals to lead the war....hitler not....big mistake...without hitler operation barbarossa will be complished

[sugarpuddin88]

I feel Hitler had a couple fundamental errors:

1) His idea was to be every where & all the time (across Europe and Russia)

2) His Generals were only allowed to move forward

[morecoje]

more mistakes my friend:barbarossa should started in 25.5.1941 but because of war in yougoslavia barbarossa started one month later,second big mistake was occupation of leningrad...germanns could destroy leningrad in oktober 1941!And also big mistake was that ARMY SOUTH was in year 1942 divided into two armys A and B...one army should destroy stalingrad and the second occupied kaukaz petrol fields.they were strong toget!great mistake was also that hitler stopped operation TAJFUN-attack on moscow

[sternberg1]
