"Brilliant" plans to win WWII: Soviet plan to win the war in 1942 

And Lose against Greece of course and get pushed into Albania.

Germany Italy can I please protect my flanks at Stalingrad

Well we took albania lol we were never meant to be a militarized country

Your ancestors in the Roman Empire might not share your opinion.

@@Matt_from_Florida Mussolini: We will restore Roman empire *1 campaign against Greece later* Mussolini: HALPPPP

Basically it was a gamble. Retreat and lose half of forces/equipment/artillery for sure or fight, kill enemies and maybe lose whole army. Actually, Germany would lose the war either way. They had small chances to win with Blitzkrieg, but it was mostly suicide from the beginning.

As Hitler himself said talking to Mannerheim "I had no idea they had this much equipment, factories the size of villages. Had i known this before." Only Russia/USSR could come back from such a initial loss of millions of troops and equipment.

German intelligence agencies lied to high military command (and Hitler) about Soviet weapons (modern guns, artillery, T-34 being in early stages of production, etc), size of the army, structure of divisions, loyalty of officers and soldiers (they many times said Red Army will collapse straight away), and the rest, for a long time. They knew everything and shared information only after war started. That's a proven fact. Because they were agents of Britain probably, maybe bought by USA oligarchy and corporations. That's my speculation, but I don't see another explanation.

Imperative Games *All* of German intelligence? That would be a real masterpiece, especially as Hitler had the habit of promoting top brass who hated each other to equal ranks and keep responsibilities vague to incite rivalries (survival of the most relentless, the ultimate foundation of Nazi ideology).

Joseph Ben Abraham lol... wrong flag

@We_We ._. : *North Vietnam to be precise (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Vietnam) ^^

I do know NVA mean North Vietnam Army ( and VC = Vietcong, the liberation front) . What I meant is the flag belongs to the country of Vietnam (the north at the time) not its army. Nonetheless, just trivial my friend ^^

*PAVN,you're all dumbasses!

ger du, Rus was splitted in feudal kingdoms, when Mongols came, so it is "internal strife", and Mongols didn't occupy Rus, Russians were obliged to go to the Horde to pay tribute and get Jarlig approving the kingdoms rulers.

RogerwilcoFoxtrot Rus was fucking split up (Russia wasn't united)!Of course he conquered them.

Vikings did it.

Intescy Avenger Again,divided Russia.

ivan kovač To be honest though, the Mongols were so powerful at the time that they would've conquered Russia even if it was united.

Not all casualties are fatalities

​@left9096 According to Wikipedia, in just 1941, the Soviets suffered 800,000 killed, 1,000,000 wounded, and 2,300,000 captured or missing. That adds up to roughly 4,000,000 lost in just six months. Not to mention, most of the Soviet Air Force was destroyed in just a couple of days, handing the skies over to the Luftwaffe. The Russians literally suffered the worst military disaster in history. This is why there are a lot of notions and stereotypes about German and Soviet military capabilities.

For sure it was not as cold as German historian Paul Carell wrote (Festung Demjansk -51°C at January 18th 1942), but still cold enough to build by Soviets railroad on Ladoga Lake in winter 1941/42 or cross on ice 42 km wide Azovsk See in winter 1942/43 by German 40 PanzerCorps. That's facts. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/CaminoDeLaVidaLeningrado.ogv one Leningrad scientist noted in 1941: “At [-5 °C], 4 inches [10 cm] of ice would form in 64 hours; at [-10 °C], 4 inches would form in 34 hours, at [-15 °C], 4 inches in 23 hours. A foot of ice [30 cm] would be laid down in 24 days at [-5 °C]. It would take 8 days to create a foot of ice at [-15 °C]”. Additionally: A minimum of 4 inches [10 cm] of ice was necessary to support a horse without cargo. A minimum of 7 inches [18 cm] of ice was necessary to support a horse-drawn sleigh with one ton of cargo. A minimum of 8 inches [20 cm] of ice was necessary to support a truck transporting one ton of cargo. Although only a foot of ice was required to support mass transit along the route, the actual thickness of the ice typically ranged from 3-5 feet [91-152 centimeters], a density thick enough for nearly any task.

@Rogerio Lopes -50 in Siberia I'm russian, i know better)))

That's how the polish bottleneck was created in 1941

Retreating armies tend to tear up rails anyway. Once a road bed is there it's easier to place new rails.

Since the Russian railway guage is wider, they should have begun broadening the guage within German and Polish territory, without being shot at, and building Russian-size locomotives, rather than trying to rebuild the Russian railway where they would be shot at while doing so, and which was never going to catch up with the front in time, or ever. The Russian railway, like the Soviet tanks, worked better with the weather and the less developed infrastructure, because Russian locomotives ran on wood more than coal, and ran less frequent trains, which was safer during the thaw and floods especially. Broad Guage for the win, another piece of Russian cunning that everyone sneered at for being different.

@@theArab__ short answer: yes long answer: My comment was a joke on the fact that Italy was a major weakness for the Central Powers. They were inefficient and at many times were a liability and handicap to the German war effort. When Italy switches sides I imagine the Allies complaining while the Axis Powers rejoiced because they no longer had the handicap.

Yes, in winter there was colder than -10. In December 1941 in Moscow the average temperature was -13, in January 1942 was -20. ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9A%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82_%D0%9C%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B2%D1%8B&oldid=95308003#%D0%9A%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BC%D0%B0 (Russian Wikipedia, article "Climate of Moscow")

Just thought it was colder in Russia

Slava yahivsky where I live in Canada is parallel to Ukraine and I’m more referring to those temperatures but and Leningrad now at Saint Petersburg was the most northern part of the front I don’t doubt Russia’s cold and that are climates are similar I mean we both have boreal forest/Taiga in a majority of our country’s I just plain though it was colder, also Saint Petersburg is parallel to what we call the territories and it can be pretty inhospitable because the climate we give it is called the tundra and is bare, although I’m not a normal temperature in winter is.

I live in Moscow region and i don't remember that was colder that -30. Btw it's coldest. Average temperature in winter -10-15

Иван Подливыч very interesting I usually get temperatures just a few degrees colder although this last winter was shit so -15 is awfully close

@TEXOCMOTP Depends on how it is presented, it did not differ much from the events of this video which was also a practical stalemate, with heavier soviet losses, but also soviet strategic positions becoming bit better.

Pakcat russian propaganda

Fickk Yuu It was successful anyway.

The entire Army Group wasn't destroyed, just most of it became trapped at Koenigsberg.

Prins van Oranje What about the encirclements under Orsha and Bobruisk. What about an encirclement under Minsk? "Was just trapped in Koenigsberg" despite the fact that the encirclement of East Prussia wasn't a part of plan, Isn't that a successful offence to get from Dnepr to Wisla with only a two months? And if the army group "Center" didn't get destroyed, why does the German army got problems there and decided to refill "Hole" in its defence line with units from Southern group of army? They refilled it because they lost a lot of units. So, I think that operation was a huge success.

Я сказал, что большая часть советских потерь было из за того, что они длажни были маневрировать во время мороза а немцы в то время могли сидеть в деревнях. По моему более объективно чем обычно в западной медий. Флаг для Красной армии зделал сам. Может быть можно было-бы что то поменять чтобы не подходил столько на Вьетнамииски флаг.

Флаг РККА (полуофициальный) - это золотой силуэт звезды на красном фоне, а не золотая звезда - иначе это получится флаг Вьетнама. Жаль что в видео вы не упомянули то, на что упирает А. Исаев, а именно на сравнение расстрелянного боезапаса сторонами во время зимнего наступления 1941-1942 (даже с учётом растянутых коммуникаций у вермахта расстреляно втрое больше снарядов просто из-за того, что у СССР отвалились снарядные заводы на Украине, Беларуси и в Ленинграде, остался по сути один в Туле), а также на неправильную организацию танковых войск - бригадное устройство и общую недостачу танков, которые исчезали у РККА быстрее из-за того, что танки стали для РККА заменой артиллерии по описанным выше причинам. В операции Уран, например, окружение осуществляли уже не танковые бригады, а по-сути танковые дивизии, собранные по подобию немецких после того как в руки Ставки попали организационные немецкие документы, по которым и прошла реорганизация. Танковые бригады зимой 1941 года обладали слишком малой ударной силой, потому и выдохлись не достигнув намеченных целей, тогда как зимой 1942 части окружавшие Сталинград уже могли бить на огромную оперативную глубину из-за своей совершенно другой организации и размеров, и потому достигли успехов.

I'm thinking he will do the "underbelly" plan

Or operation market garden

+Ryzzik Trognesou well it worked so whats wrong with that tactics.

@Son of my Father You can say it worked if the project was only to weaken the war capacities of Germany. The problem was that the bomber department was persuaded that the bombs without naval landing could have won the war alone. They were determined to push the government in investing more in the Airforce than in any other part of the British army of navy. Or, that's what had written A. Beavor in his book. @Benjamin Macdonald For the "underbelly plan", I don't even remember what was that. Like I said, I was only thinking. There is no way than my ideas are the best or anything like that. I'm waiting for the next video like a kid :P Edit, I've checked. In french, we said "Ventre mou" for the poor italians :P That's why I didn't understand "underbelly"

Bomber command was hardly the most vocal strategy in WW2. You have the army, intelligence, navy and fighter command to contend with and while they made some initial ground they were never seriously considered to be a sole strategic option for victory.
