@@eln5343 sussy stalin
Nice fantasy
Stalin did learn his lesson tho. After World War Two, he purged the Red Army again. But instead of killing the generals, he simply demote them to unimportant roles so that 1) generals were unable to oppose him from their lowly positions and 2) the generals can be used again if another war broke out.
If Stalin did this during the 30s instead of killing his generals admirals and officers the Soviet army coulda been in a better position in the war and coulda inflicted more on the nazis
That’s really interesting
Hitler logic: *expects France to fall in 6 months*
*expects the Soviet Union to fall in 3 weeks*
Well nobody expected that the mightest military nation in the history will fall in 5 weeks
@@petartoshkov2076 Because he was stupid fanatic?
Which might enemy USA ever fought?Third Reich when it already collapsed on Eastern Front?
In late 1941 Hitler was in shock and awe with his army's success he became quite delusional
@Jan Sitkowski Agree with you. But the last point I would argue it's like Hitler's biggest gamble. Like he must have concluded "This is it. For everything or nothing!" and there he went to war
The animation for this video, especially the starting animation showing the Soviet tank being attacked by the stuka and panzers is unlike anything I have seen. Amazing work
Stalin: kills all of his officers
also Stalin: why are we getting pushed back?
>Kills all his officers

Its surprising how incompetent this is. He did kill some officers but fact is amount of officers was higher after the purge then before the purge.
@@TheKingpool7 only because they lower down officers were upgraded up. You could go from a captain to a general in the span of a year. For example, i think about 2/3 of the "marshalls of the soviet union " where shot.

It's probably hidden on the algorithm because it uses the word "bad". Meaning that someone doesn't think something is good and might offend someone with a differing opinion. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Never heard any thing about that German soldier who deserted. What was his backstory?
He deserted
I heard that he was one of the "ss'ians" (army of people in russia baltics and other states but it was made by germans and they also had to kill jews and ro what hitler wanted) and he was afraid for his life because tommorow there was a fight and the man was a youngling and he thought that soviets would help him or something

Great video. Keep up the work man. Also, to add to the discussion, the Soviets were in the middle of rearmament and rebuilding operations; that was also a contributing factor. This was especially evident with the reserve airports being under repair and unable to host any sorties.
P.S.: those captions, 11:23; why youtube?

@@Jonesyful10 what do you mean by "deus ex(1) predicted the future" not again!
They don't want you to learn about history....
I agree the radical left is the only group powerfull enough who is currently engaged in a totalitarian rewritting of history
"CZcams has demonetized and shutdown the video for a reason they won't tell me."
The reason is that they are utterly incompetent at programing their algorithm and are too pathetic and arrogant to admit it.
So yeah, Google is an extremely powerful and unethical company.
I try to do what I can to get away from their toxic company and not buy from them anymore if I can help it.
The algorithm, from what I understand, is built with Machine Learning. That means they don't exactly "program" it per se, as in tell it exactly what to censor or flag, rather they teach it what to flag or censor. They feed it a ton of data saying "this is good" and "this is bad", the machine learns this and tries to establish patterns. This is faulty of course, and in the present is very far from being an effective technology, hence why self driving cars are still many decades away.
@@TheDirtysouthfan They are actually spending a lot of money on AI systems, like AlphaGo.

The Maginot Line was actually very effective in its intended purpose.
John D. If a wall is meant to keep people out, is it’s purpose fulfilled if the people can just go around it?
zztimelapsezz the issue isn’t that they went around it but that French command was incompetent and elected to abandon the fortifications
@@zztimelapsezz The argument I often hear is that the French made a mistake in focusing on the Maginot Line. The Maginot Line kept the Germans from crossing the Maginot Line, and forced them to go around it. Thus forcing them to attack on a very narrow front. The issue wasn't that the Maginot Line was built. The issue was that the French didn't have significant forces defending the Ardennes. With the benefit of hindsight, we can see that the French should have built the Maginot Line all the way to the sea, behind Belgium. The Maginot Line freed up enough forces to defend the entire northeastern border, but the French commanders used those forces incompetently.
Their failure was in either not including a northern line or maintaining good relations with Belgium
@@deriznohappehquite true but if they did that it would be as far as I saw in Hoi4 it would show a diplomatic issues with belgum that they would not be trusted with defence etc and some other issues with that.
Zhukov: Dude they're attacking us.
Stalin: Nah fam, that's just Hitler playin.
to do Stalin knew that Hitler will attack USSR and Stalin was also preparing for the incoming war
@@Eclipselfish He was, that's why Hitler attacked so early while the Soviets weren't ready. It's just that when Hitler attacked Stalin wasn't anywhere near prepared so he had a bit of a mental breakdown.
to do lol and why then did Stalin pushed the borders with Finland and annexed Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania? He also concluded a non-aggression pact with Hitler and secured this with a pact on the division of Poland. Not because Stalin was an invader and he needed Poland, but in order to secure the western front and gain time in order to better prepare. Stalin was already ready, just stop believing in the propoganda that rewrites history
@@Eclipselfish
He conquered other countries because he was trying to spread Communism and his own power, because that's the ultimate goal of Communism, world domination.
Stalin ordered his soldiers to not fire back since he thought Hitler was just trying to provoke him and locked himself away for days after the invasion started.
The army might have been somewhat mobilized, but even then the T34 production was still pretty low and most equipment in general(Tanks/Planes/Artillery) was pretty old and outdated and the army was untrained and inexperienced, which is why the Germans managed to push them so far back.
Stalin on the other hand was obviously absolutely caught off guard when Hitler attacked him and reacted in pretty much the worst way possible.
to do lol and why then did Stalin pushed the borders with Finland and annexed Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania?

Not because Stalin was an invader and he needed Poland, but in order to secure the western front and gain time in order to better prepare. Stalin was already ready, just stop believing in the propoganda that rewrites history. Also the official position of the Russia is that the accession of the Baltic countries to the USSR did not contradict the norms of international law as of 1940, and also that the accession of these countries to the USSR received official international recognition. This position is based on the de facto recognition of the integrity of the borders of the USSR as of June 1941 at the Yalta (1945) and Potsdam conferences (1945) by the participating states. You wrote nonsense about the troops not shooting at the Germans. Do you even understand that this is complete nonsense? The main forces of the Soviet Union army were in Siberia, in the middle of the country, since on the other hand, Japan could attack from the east and there were no allies from the east. Hitler also began to make his plan for the quick capture of the Soviet Union "blitzkrieg". So the troops of the Soviet Union simply did not have time to redeploy. HAHAHAH u r so low brain Jesus... You humiliate Stalin that he did not prepare anything, but Germany was a capitalist country for that and at the moment, and it had more money for production. The USSR is a country of workers and peasants. After the revolution, they had nothing - emptiness. In the periods of 29-41, the country was industrialized, villages turned into large cities. The country was still at that time, not because Stalin wanted it that way, but because such a country went to it. At the time of 43 years, the level of production of the USSR was the same as in Germany. In the period 41-42 years, 6 and a half thousand T34 tanks were produced, and Germany in the period 41-42 years produced only 1.3 thousand vehicles. After the war, the T34 was recognized by many experts as the best tank of the Second World War.
I was always a little confused as to how the blitzkrieg worked. I would think moving at such a fast speed directly into enemy territory would leave you vulnerable ooutflanked and encircled by the enemy
not if everything is going at once

After the Soviets initial losses, the Red Army was able to replace its equipment losses, and it learned from the Blitzkrieg tactics from the Germans and how to defeat them. Soviet spies in Japan had also told Stalin that the Japanese had no designs for war with them and were able to bring fresh divisions from the East for the defense of Moscow.

Yes, great video and upload the effectiveness video! Gotta mention though, Stalin in disgrace went to his HQ to think of his failure after the Nazis invaded, then some officers came to take away Stalin, he thought they came to arrest him but the officers instead told him they're in need of a leader of which, Stalin accepted the task.

Stalin didn't trust Hitler he just overestimated him and didn't expect him to be idiotic enough to start a war with the USSR whilst he was still at war with the Western powers, Stalin was hoping Hitler would destroy the west leaving Stalin with one easy target.

I think that's a worthy follow up to this video.
They were so effective because of the huge population and Americas lend lease literally funding the soviets war...
@@seancascanet3428 I respectfully disagree, I think that due the the size of the Red Army, the Americans would've had to use most of their industry towards the Soviets ALONE, to influence it that much, however they did something MUCH MORE important, and that was to supply the Soviets with.... information! Yes every single major Soviet offensive after 1943 was based off Intel gathered by USA or UK, when to attack, where to attack, enemy troop movements, well everything, don't you agree that Intel/Information was much more important than Lend Lease?
@@Gabriel-sdf yeah the real reason the allies won ww2
British broke the german code
US broke Japans Code
US and UK gave Russia information on germans due to code breaking
Otherwise the war would have lasted longer and been way bloodier
Gabriel Soares
The Intel was of course very important but without the lend lease agreement, the Russians wouldn't be able to put the information to use. The US sent Russia over a half million trucks and tracked vehicles and Britain sent a considerable amount also, so the Russians could make the push. The US sent 2000 locomotives and 11,000 boxcars along with the trucks to better transport troops and supplies.
Most don't consider the fact that for every man with a rifle, it takes 10 men in support to make him effective. Without good troop transportation and the ability to constantly resupply the men with the rifles, the best fighting men in the world would be hard pressed to win on a major front.
The Germans lack of resupply and the Russians growing ability to quickly resupply was a major factor in the defeat of Germany.
Great video! especially the ending!
The sad thing is, Stalin knew war was coming, and before WW2 he asked France and Britain how many combat ready-divisions they could field and he was appalled when Britain replied with 16 seeming as he had roughly 150 (I think, might be more). Stalin was hoping the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact would last long enough for his army gain enough equipment/manpower, and US/British lend-lease was very important at the beginning of the war. The rest is obviously history, with their now-moved industry greatly helping the Soviet Armed Forces

that was the whole reason behind the pact with germany, they weren"t ready for war

@Ordinary Sessel of course soviet union rather had it under their sphere of influence then nazi, britisch or french. it is not all that simple, russia has been invaded plenty of times by western nations, so it was in their interest to secure those countries. and again nobody has a problem with poland taking a part of czech slovakia when nazi germany invaded it, nobody had problems when united states were doing busniss with nazi germany, everbody was shady.

Nice videos Mr Chair. Arm Chair👍
Im glad to see you upload agian! Keep up the good work.
Not only were Soviet tanks spread out, they were sent into combat in small piecemeal formations as soon as they arrived at the front. It took the Soviets a while to figure out that you needed to mass tanks to overwhelm formations, and even when they did that the tanks often ran out of gas and were left helpless because the tank commanders had absolute orders to keep driving forward no matter what.
The plane sound effect at the beginning was from the wall. Brilliant

Great video!
