Video

Funnily enough, one of the only decent Stalingrad movies is the german one

Im searching for bohemian littérature !

I’m 7th grade but China invented guns

Forgive my saying this but it is Amateur analysis

No, it wasn't so much that Europe pulled ahead, it was the case of China stagnating China had been at the forefront of firearms development during the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties For context, the Portuguese actually imported cannons from the Ming because they were superior to what Europe had Things changed during the Qing though, the dynasty that succeeded the Ming The Qing, being foreigners, had a policy of supressing the development of technology and the spread of knowledge in China, in order to keep the population backwards and thus easier to control It was during this period that Europe pulled ahead in firearms development

Great movie.

Good video, I suppose, not having been there, but it makes me wonder why Scorsese didn’t back the up timeline about 20 years. He should know better, unless you are the one that is wrong. But I bet you’re not.

New-York is going back to those days.

Uhhh.... NO

No just read the book

Read the book by Michael K. Jones. It will give you a much better understanding about Stalingrad and how the Red Army worked. Amazing read.

Wow

I personally love Shirer’s book but this video opened my eyes to the flaws I otherwise would not have seen and therefore I can now take everything with a grain of sand.

And look at Europe now.

continuity errors in this film were on max strength

Being that the rioters lynched 11 black people in a matter of days (including a 7 year old) and burned a black orphanage to the ground I don't think this filmed cherry picked events to show America in a negative light.

You forgot to mention the part where they play the 1970s Soviet Anthem instead of "The Internationale" where Kruschev and Vasily meet.

Throw in New York City gentrification and a dash of luck. This video is well woven. More on that dandies please?

Culture race and religion are the reasons. It’s not geography. Geography is an absurd answer. Warfare creates a need for innovation, wars of religion, ethnic conflict, and highly martial cultures all created the circumstances for near constant large scale warfare this lead to accelerated military innovation.

Apostles of Disunion by Charles Dew is a great little book!

Apostles of Disunion by Charles Dew which he references in the notes is an excellent book. Highly recommend it

So new

The movie doesn’t make the Commissars seem to force the conditions. It’s clear there is not enough equipment in the first place.

According to TIK channel's Stalingrad series, he described the river crossing rather happened on September 15th and initially covered by smoke screens, although suffered a considerable amount of losses in the process. What do you think on this one?

In North Carolina during the 18th and 19th century being called a tar heel was a derogatory expressing of poor white people. The North Carolina Confederate infantryman would change that. Poor white tar heels made good soldiers. After the War for Southern Independence the people of North Carolina called themselves Tar Heels as an expression of pride. First at Bethel, Farthert to the Front at Gettysburg and Last at Appomattox.

I did not know about the disproportionately high casualties of North Carolina, that's a fairly interesting fact. Cheers.

Unfortunately for this revisionist apologetic, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn wrote of the blocking detachments 50 years ago in The Gulag Archipelago. The Soviets even executed their liberated POWs. Solzhenitsyn served in the Soviet ranks, AND in the Stalinist gulags. Stalin was the greatest butcher in world history, whitewashing his atrocities is an outrage. Wake up, COMMUNISM IS BAD!!!

00:02 he's an ally? say it isn't so...

My confusion is who is Uncas? There was an Uncas that was Mohegan. But he was from Ct. tribe . Also a time discrepancy for him, he took place in the Pequot massacre in the 1610's.

nah

What were some of the movies you used for your background? Could always use more movies for my movie list.

Ummm it’s not a myth that human waves would be used for charges by the Soviets in WW2. You’re wrong and looking for imperfections that are even more false than this films depiction. And it’s disrespectful to the actual 100s of thousands who died like that… Obviously no human is going to run straight into a machine gun. It’s a depiction dude. But they did charge like that. You’re wrong. Look at the battle of Berlin. That’s literally all they did because they wanted to get the War over by May 1st, which was a big Soviet holiday celebrating workers. You analyze one scene because you don’t like commanders shooting down their own people but in the process get more wrong than you correct. And again, it’s literally just a visualization because they did indeed execute cowards. It’s easy to learn what really happened if you just look it up. Stop doing what you’re doing this is the worst type of historical analysis.

Did this guy forget when this book was written?

The Female Snipers ruled Stalingrad.

Come to think of it, there is one cultural consideration when asking this question: Europe as a whole had a long tradition of martial culture that went back to the Roman era. I realize that some of the Chinese dynasties--I think mostly those of foreign origin or those that reigned or tried to reign during long periods of division--were more militaristic than others and I'm not knocking you're analysis of geographic influence--see my comment from three years ago--but Europe, especially Western Europe, was basically in a state of constant war from the time the Western Roman Empire began to break apart until the end of World War 2. Feudalism, inter-tribal warfare, Vikings, Huns, other barbarians, crusades, the rise of nation-states, and colonialism all contributed to the need for soldiers, weapons, and the means to support both. I'm kind of shooting in the dark here, but it feels to me like the discovery and innovation of a weapon that allows for war on a grander scale than ever before is kind of a no-brainer for a continent of people for whom war has played a huge part in their culture and history. Obviously this is a very simple inference and it overlooks a lot of things, but when you consider the fact that western Europe underwent a centuries-long feudal era while China's first emperor outlawed all forms of nobility in favor of an imperial bureaucracy, there's probably something to be said for a martial culture being the one to adopt gunpowder wholesale.

I LOVE the MOVIE since the first time watched it.. in the '90's.. it's historical.. Action packed.. Superb cast...I like movies about the original inhabitants of America...

It's always geography. Bullcrap.

Great in concept. But when a Russian sniper develops his British accent unnoticed I lose it.

The Gangs of New York book is even an audiobook

I'm glad people are aware of the BS this movie was.

Probably the worst movie ever made. The characters didn't seem to fit and the acting was very poor. The whole story line just didn't make sense to me.

I've very surprised hollyturd tried to make the soviets look bad at all.

It's sad really, because the political system can be grossly corrupt and evil, and at the same time, their army can have fought bravely and with purpose and have the battlefield triumphs that are rightfully theirs

My Uncle's were Wehrmacht Soldiers on the Eastern Front from 1943 till the end of the war. Your narrative is completely incorrect. The movie is correct in its description of how Russian Soldiers were slathered based on poor Russian tactics.

You keep calling them Italians but the column in the east is German

Absolutely insane. Great video man!

Not historically accurate? Dont care. If every movie were accurate to history most movies would be boring af. I go to movies to see a STORY, I went to school to learn history. That said, most believe these dramatizations to be 💯 and don’t have any discernment or ability to think beyond the illusion on screen

😂😂😂😂. I never understood people calling a movie that is based on history "Not accurate!".😂😂😂😂😂....people, people, if a movie were 100% or close to accurate, then It would be A DOCUMENTARY. WOULD PEOPLE GO WATCH A DOCUMENTARY intead of movie? No, never. A movie is an entertaining passtime, not a educational passtime.

They used a white actor to play Hawkeye because Hawkeye was a white man. His parents were killed when he was a baby and Chingatchcook found him and took him and raised him as his own.

This guy claims to run a historical channel, but can't pronounce anything, only acknowledges idiots in the comments that praise him, and expect a movie to be a textbook
