i am a dane.. but still.. Russia is the reason the world is free of Nazism today.
People always talks about the battle of Normandy as the great turnpoint.
I say the battle of Stalingrad, Moscow and berling are the turnpoints. Long live the Russian Motherland.

the russians didn't get lucky at all- they won due to a combination of their own smart tactics, strategy, and bravery in this battle. also, the germans finally realized they were in over their heads. you are the sort of swine that would have been rightfully shot during the war. shame thats not the case now.

@Qpollo American here, completely agree.... The Red army broke the Wehrmacht's back long before we stepped foot on the Normandy beaches...not taking anything away from our veterans, but Russia bore the brunt of the European war, no question.

@Qpollo and can't forget the greatest tank battle in history, Kursk...

@subscriber77 Re: your post about Leningrad, Finland and the "Winter War". Sorry to bother you about this, after six months, but please can you revisit and post any sources or references you have - thanks :-)

USSR was MAIN theatre of WW2. But without USA/British Commonwealth in World War 2, Russia would be fighting the Axis of Germany/Japan/Italy and their allies on Land, Sea and Air - ON THEIR OWN. I have deep respect and admiration for the Soviet Union (CCCP) in the 'Great Patriotic War' but WW2 was an Allied effort.

@Qpollo while I respect your opinion, and agree w/ the main of your point, it's a bit over-generalizing to say any one factor was "THE" reason for the defeat of Nazi-ism; in my opinion, D-Day would've failed without Stalingrad, and Russia would've collapsed without D-Day. My own "single cause" theory (to break my own rule above!) was Hitler's treacherous dealings w/Russia is what broke the Nazi war machine...had he kept peace in the eastern front, the western front would've been a different war

@MicheasTheMighty: the Germans weren't "decisively defeated" at Kursk. Rather what makes Kursk stand out is where for the first time the German blitzkrieg utterly failed to achieve the great breakthrough. At Moscow and Stalingrad the German blitzkrieg worked but the Germans were ground eventually down. At Kursk the blitzkrieg was stopped dead.
Kursk is where the Soviets/Russians showed how to stop the blitzkrieg...... something no one had ever done before.

Hi, would you please place subtitles because there is only one other version of it and it is an USA one. That one is not covering it the way it should. Thank you in advance :)

How could you say they didn't get lucky, of coure they did stalingrad being a prime example of that, it was there luck that the germans where not prepared for the cold winter or the dirt roads that stalled most of there tanks, and germany trying to fight a blitz in russia was absurd giving it size, if they had stayed the course and went for the oil fields like they where suppose to and not make this side trip to fill hitler ego I think it would have been a much different turn out.

I am an American. I can clearly see that the Russians had taken the brunt of the German army at it's highest strength and confidence in 1941 and soundly defeated them in the winter war. I believe the Battle of Stalingrad and defeat of the German army in 1943 was the turning point in the WW2. The Western Allies took some pressure off the Russians with the Invasion of Normany, plus the bombing raids on Germany starting in 1942. The Russians were tough fighters.

@DrSher You are right. But pls don't forget that the Russo-Finnish war wouldn't have been necessary if Finland had agreed to cede a small part of its territory around Leningrad in exchange for a much larger piece of Soviet territory. This land exchange offer was made by the Soviet Union solely for the purpose of putting Leningrad out of artillery range. This is a hirtorical fact that is hardly ever mentioned by anti-Soviet historians.
where is part 2 of this? this is incredible footage
