Battlefield - Battle Of Kursk - Part 1 - Operation Citadel 

NATO IS NOT IN UKRAINE right now?????

Russia is repeating the mistake of underestimating the free people of Ukraine

As well as the corrupted United Nations.

So who did Hitler have shot for arguing with him then? Nobody. Another piece of misinformation.

I Agree .

What? Elaborate on that comment please

hahaaahahhaaha

Good point-Gen. Paulus was in charge of Army Logistics-he (correctly) predicted that the German Army would be unable to supply the front lines once the front got beyond 300 Km from the railheads. The probolem was componded by the fact that over 70% of the trucks the germans had were broken down by November 1941

It’s a major part of ww2 and the turning point which shaped Europe as it is today. But ya, it’s old….history

Вся промышленность европы работала на Германию. Для начало это учитывай. По мимо Германии была Румыни Финляндия, Хорватия, Австрия

Высадка на Сицилии не какого решающего значения не имела даже близко

Вы даже близко не понимаете что за страна была СССР

But was it not being ready for the winter weather that truly cost them in 1941 compared to Stalingrad where it was truly the Russians fighting back?

@@johnhammer8968 Not so sir. Stalin moved 18 divisions from the Russia - chinese boder, to defend Moscow. It was a planned and well executed move. It was NOT the weather that defeated the Germans ... weather is the same for both sides - not just one. It was Russian strength, Russian preparedness for the weather, Russian strategy, and Russian fighting power, that won the Battle for Moscow. It was a massive victory. The losses for the Germans match their losses at Stalingrad. But the Moscow defeat had even greater significance, because at the Battle of Moscow, the German Army was the strongest and biggest and most expereinced it would ever be. From then on, the German army was in continuous decline.

The reason that stalingrad was far worse than Moscow was that the army didn't make it to Moscow, true. But they weren't surrounded and destroyed in its entirety. At stalingrad the 6th was decimated and 90000 men were made to surrender.

​@@Styx8314 Stalingrad was a memorable victory because the battle had a start date, a dramatic end date, and involved the clear & simple tactic of surrounding the enemy. The Battle of Moscow, however, had no clear start date, as it was part of the general German advance. There was no clear end date - the battle just fizzled out as both sides got tired. And there was no encirclement of armies.. However, the ssignificance of the battle of Moscow is overwhelming. First, German casualties in the Moscow .battle were as great as at Stalingrad - about 300,000. Second, the German Army was at the peak of it's power and fighting capacity in the Batlle forMoscow. Never again would it be so well organized, and contain so many experienced soldiers. Third, it was the ffirst proof that the Russians were in fact capable of strategic manoeuvre, and Fourth, it shook the German Hi Command to its roots, being their first land defeat, and providing a glimpse of what was to come.

@@gordonbennet1094 while I agree with you that Moscow was the first time the high command didn't reach it self imposed objectives. Yes, the Germans took some serious punishment outside Moscow, but there was no kind of capitulation or formal surrender. The Russians didn't have 100000 badly beaten, starved Germans prisoners marching in red square. We know in hindsight, and iam sure the soldiers on the ground knew at the time that it was a defeat, but the key difference is that they didn't admit it,(even in their own minds) because the front stabilized and they dug in for winter, assuming the drive would continue in the spring In Stalingrad, howerver, not even the most delusional Nazi could deny it was an absolute defeat with white flags raised and Paulus signing a surrender document on film.

It's old, so you know why that is. Tik isn't the first person who saw that one.

I knew as soon as I heard the words "largest tank battle in history" that we were off on a magical mystery tour of debunked canards. This is standard western understanding of Kursk circa 1980. Not clear to me when it was actually made, but it's way out of date in a lot of places.

@@patrickwatrin5093 Tik plays the 'simp for Hitler' card far more than any general played the 'madman Hitler' card.

Hitler shouldn't have even attacked at Kursk to begin with anyways. A defensive approach would have saved them from defeat

@@jayo3074 Um, no. The reason they had to attack was that there was no way to hold the line much longer. It was a spoiling attack.

@@princeofcupspoc9073 One could say Barbarossa was postponed by various factors yes, France was suppose to been taken in 39 so the whole Russo-German war was rushed because of fear of losing the Romanian petroleum wells which would been an early defeat for Germany - Hitler 1942. Germany wasn't ready for war no matter how you cut it

The Germans did not lose the battle of Kurth. Neither did they win.

Hitler postoned the attack on Kursk because he thought the new German tanks would give them a decisive advantage. Considering the number of troops engaged and the losses on both sides, Kursk is an asthonishing German victory. And that victory is due to those tanks Hitler had been waiting for. One could object that the operation was a defeat for the Germans because they did not reach their objectives. Strategically speaking, that's true. But on the ground it remains a huge tactical victory. btw that explains why, on one hand, generals involved in the operation wanted to keep going whereas, on the other hand, Hitler who had more global considerations made it stop.

curious why England did not declare war on USSR for this invasion

😂😮😢😅 EBT card lmfao so true my friend, so true

You have to put yourself in their shoes, not your own looking at what they decided to do. The Wermacht were not a bunch of pushovers, and there was limited time, a resource often overlooked in favor of munitions and supply. Zhukov knew what he had to do, and did it to the best he knew how, no more can be asked of a man.

@@TheMoopMonster I'm a human being ,Stalin and Zukov werent

@@jerrymarshall2095 And a very arrogant at that.

Yeah, ok captain America. You make it sound so simple!

he wasnt gay

If you really think that we are lucky that the Germans lost then it goes to show how brainwashed they truly have the masses.

right
