Everyone talks about Stalingrad. This battle was twice the size and twice as important.

@shinotora1X That is debatable. Moscow was Germany's first real defeat but after that they still could win the war. Stalingrad was the turning point, after that the Germans could no longer win.

[TelPrank]

Turning point was Kursk. After that the soviets started to advance almost everywhere. New weaponary and recruts entered the game.

Shinotora now don't compare Kursk, stalingrad,Leningrad,Moscow which one is better, the soviets fought to death you should honour tht not compare them.

@HelenaXVI Thats not trueGermany knew that it couldn't take Moscow. Just like Napoleon and so many other Boyars in Russia's early history.You and many others think that Stalingrad was something. Well let me tell you something, in Stalingrad, there were atrocities. In Moscow there were none ordinary people fought. Western education censors this battle because it is a true heroic one and highlights Stalingrad to make the USSR and communism seem brutal and bloody, which it is not.

@Stinkyplayer1 Hitler expected England to join him in the 30s, but they refused because they didn't like his motives. Which of course were genocide.

[TheSovietSamurai]

@That1LonelyJew Patton was very foolish in that case. And it was Churchill's idea to invade the soviet union, not only making an enemy but losing a powerful ally that without them, the allies would have lost the war. You can see why Churchill was booted out of office a short time later.

At 4:51 is when the Red Army marches to Soviet Victory!

@shinotora1X Battle of Moscow was the First defeat of the Nazis in WW2 I think.

[vonPruts]

The Eastern Front. People in the U.S. don't know the real stories of how it changed the World forever. Well I should say most of the U.S.
