@jukimode They let them out after the initial heavy bombings. Originally Stalin said the troops would fight harder if Civilians were there, but with the infrastructure so shattered they let the women and children go, if they could get to the river.
If the German high command would have had the balls to cut Hitler out of the command loop they would have won and the world would have been rid of the evil red scourge 65 years ago.
The Germans were a great bunch of guys. We were fighting the wrong enemy. The Japs had to go though.
The Soviets excelled in urban warfare, whereas the Germans didn't do too well in that environment. Read about the Soviet defense of Stalingrad in great depth and detail and you will then understand.
no the Russian army had horrible tactics they never took cover when reloading maybe watch battle for berlin n see how Russia won but got most of there men killed like here in Stalingrad
Well its not really horrible tactics its just that they had the ability to replace the soldiers so why fret over a few men dead? infact its a little known fact that in Stalingrad Russian officers would charge men up a hill just to see where the weak spot is. Its russian philopsophy the death of a single man is a tragedy the death of a million is a statistic said their leader stalin
German Army was the most successful army because they new how to take cover and aim unlike the Russian's with their spraying and standing in the open to advance
LOL, russians invented urban warfare, what are you talking about, and where is your proof, i'll give it to the germans that they were the best at open ground with their plitzkrieg tactics, but the russian army infantrey excelled at urban warfare at WWII.
Yea but he's one of the only practical guys on there although he does get on peoples nerves he is wise as far as im concerned, being very to the point and clear hes perfect for teaching and you kno wat they say, if you are reading this thank a marine if u can read this thank a teacher :)
You what screw all you russian haters. your all a bunch of pussies you talk shit when you dont know what your talking about, i bet if you met a pissed off russian you wouldnt have the guts to say it to his face because he would beat your ass because i sure would i am pissed off. i had great grandfathers fighting the germans there so just shut the hell up

Some people say that Germany was in the right to start a war, and continue on to victory, But ask your self this judging on hitlers methods and ideas on his Pure german race, what would have happen if Germans Won the war?hitler would have killed all of the jews down to the last child and exterminated many other races, and you say Soviet Union is evil? I will say that there were a lot of bad mistakes done by the Soviets and Im sad that a nation so great became a murder. SAD
Germans were in the wrong and that's why they lost the war. Damn them! Long live Soviet Union, long live the liberators of Europe. May all Soviet casualties rest in peace!
I have to agree with fuadki1998 and nargzy you are wrong the Russians were liberators and if it wasent for the russians the world war 2 would have been lost, who did liberate most of the europe all the way to berlin, who lost 26 million soldiers, the americans and the british didnt do shit, I say they did help a littel but Americans lost 350 thousands soilders, 350 thousand to 26 million if you compare that then your the asshole, be thankful for russians, because now your free and alive
What??? How about German soldiers??? What a pile of rubbish! Germans invaded Soviet Union, not the other way round. Germans started a score of torturing, raping, burning, gassing, bombing, killing et cetera, not the Soviet Union. Germans weren't in Stalingrad for the same reason as Soviets. Germans wanted other peoples' land, whilst Soviets were defending their land. So your arguments don't hold any ground. I am not justifying the actions of Soviet soliders, but I am not blaming them either.
Imagine a Soviet soldier, whose land was invaded, parents killed, house burnt and country laying in ruins. Can you imagine him being really nice, kind and understanding? This is a human tragedy, which was started by humnan greed, idea of superiority over other races. Think now before you say anything else.
I'm Mexican and I'm grateful That Russia won the Battle of Stalingrad. You are wright,the Soviets were evil but a least they weren't planning in conquer the world. It's true there were victims and heroes in both side, but hey that's why it's call a total war!!!
Stalin didn't want to conquer the world through conventional military action. His idea was to spread Communism through out the world through revolution. Hitler only wanted to create a German empire in Eastern Europe and parts of the USSR. It was England and France that declared war on Germany.
@thatkidinthegreenhat keep sniffing glue dude? It was germany that unilaterally abandoned the 'Munich Agreement' and set the stage for the invasion of Poland which of course would start a world war with UK and France.
@thatkidinthegreenhat Hitler was a madman who wanted to rule the world, after he was done conquering the USSR & the rest of Europe, plans for the invasion of the far away South American continent was in the pipeline. Dude, you make it sound as if Hitler was a GOOD GUY & had good reasons for starting WW2.
The right there proves you are not to smart. The typical history channel bs. "Hitler wanted to rule the world". Like he is some kind of bad guy mad scientist from a cartoon. I forgot though in your world Hitler is going to pull out of his ass a navy that is suddely capable of, 1 crossing the Atlantic, 2 invading the Americas. Not with standing the fact it takes at least 4 years to build a capital ship.
@thatkidinthegreenhat Alrite then, why don't you give me history lessons. Briefly explain your thoughts on Nazi Germany & Adolf Hitler. I would love to hear them. I not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to get a better perspective of things from both sides.
yeah it was wrong and i totally agree, but if they didnt want that they shouldnt have invaded, because they BELIEVED that they were better than everyone else. stalingrad was the time when they realised that in fact, they had bitten off more than they could chew and they choked on it.
Have you read "The Greatest Battle" by Andrew Nagorski? He argues that the battle of Moscow in 1941 was actually the turning point, while Stalingrad was just a large battle after the turning point.
The "turning point" was to begin a two front war on a large scale. I understand what his point is, but the war was actually lost when Germany attacked Soviet Russia. Hitlers generals warned him about this issue and urged him not to risk it.
This is true, but I think that the Wehrmacht would have captured Moscow before the winter of 1941 had not three things happened: the postponement of Operation Barbarossa for the invasion of Greece and Yugoslavia (which cost the Germans several weeks), the invasion of North Africa (which drained the strength of the German army over the next two years), and the invasion of Finland by the Soviets (who realized that their army was outdated and put it on the fast-track towards modernization).
All in all they made to many mistakes to turn out as the winner of this historical struggle. It's a long list and many of them caused great disadvantages. Over confidence, one of those fatal flaws. Another good 'n well known example for this bad trait is the "Battle of Cannae".
"and the invasion of Finland by the Soviets (who realized that their army was outdated and put it on the fast-track towards modernization)." I dont think that soviets modernize a lot because of the Winter War
their army remain the same and many purges folow after the War also the germans had the best sucess with operation Barborossa in many ways the war of the east was the best and worst for Wermacth the germans caputered hundreds of POWS they capture equipement and a lot of terrotories.
THe prolem was that they capture to most and didnt have men enough to defend all areas of course nature made a crucial thing against the Germans it destroy the logistica the other thing is that soviets could suffer casualities that no one in world could suffer they suffer casualities by milions and still have more men!It was impossible to conquer a people with such power the modernazation came during the war when all the soviet people was organizied to make war equipement.
Yea it was so cold that their penis freezed.....lol. God was not with us and mother nature wasnt with us either. Hmmm the german military has occuppied nearly complete europe so their military could not be bad. Fuck planes that are weapons for idiots real man fight on the ground, planes are something for Uncle Sam......lol.
Im not saying your a liar mate BUT!.... THEIY JUMPED OUT OF THEIR AIRCRAFT WITHOUT PARACHUTES??????? so they all died before getting a chance to kill any German... maybe they fell on them :P
the germans had the best army, best tank(the tiger), the first assult rifle(mp44), the best machine gun(The Mg42), the best plane(the stuka) and proffesional soldiers. but the russian soldiers were braver for example they jumped out of planes without parachutes.
If they had the best army why do we comment and reply in English and not in German?
And by the way the Ju-87 Stuka wasn't the best plane. It was good in divebombing enemy objects with little or no defense because a Stuka had a low speed, made slow turns, had a weak armament and a very vulnerable fuselage. During the invasion in Russia they were easy prey to other planes and lost dozens of planes in a few minutes. And the same for the Battle of Britain.
the reason we arent speaking german now is because hitler thought he could defeat russia while fighting another war, and stukas shot down hundreds of allied bombers over berlin
"GOD IS WITH US!"-"In the name of the Fuhrer!" -At Stalingrad were killed more than a million,frozen to death or died of starvation...russians,romanians,italians,hungarians,germans....from 260,000 surrounded men of the sixth Army,91,000 were taking prisoner of whom only 6,000 return to the homeland years later...with nothing els but blind dispere.
