Gates of Hell The Battle of Koenigsberg 

Rick, what can I say, this a full on action movie, the sounds, the atmosphere, and the frighting scenes of war, and title of the film "GATES Of HELL" all just come together as one, great,great work.......

Gates of Hell explosions are my most favorite. Epic battle gramps.

Rick, thank you for yet another riveting battle scene. I feel like I was one of the solders battling for my life.

Rick thank you man, its better than 99 % of movies

Жеееесть! Вот это видео! Сплошной экстрим, всё супер. Лучшие бронетанковые силы схлестнулись в бою. Я бы такое смотрел часами.💥💥👍🏻👍🏻

Such incredible realistic action! Thanks for putting in my faves: 5cm flak, Sturmtiger, any German recon with autocannon, truck mounted 75mm anti-tank guns (swoon). That Russian metal beast turned out to be the Soviet 203mm 1931B4. Keep yer head down watching this one.

If you had to make a movie with a story based timeline, I would literally pay to watch it..

Rick is just the best at putting these videos together. I honestly feel like I’m right in the middle of this battle. You can feel the intensity.

Just WOW.....I feel like my eyes are full of smoke n sand! Found myself dodging rounds. Absolutely beyond believable work!! Keep on keepin on......

You definitely have that " Directors eye"! I love the lighting and the effects you use. It sets the mood. Masterpiece!

Yet a awesome vidéo Rick..everything is in place..the Jagdpanther,Jagdtiger,sdkfz11 with Flak 38 on him....pak 40... And the lethal 88 mm Gun !!...a authentic and perfect work did here....the sounds are so true .. making others videos like this.A pleasure to see !! 👍👍👍👍

i like the move of soldiers and the sound of impacts...looks so really and battlefield looks cold thats good...good video

That was a cool battle...nice details with destruction/death animation...,,. The sound really enhances immersion.......thx ..., RG.....

Awesome! Love the sandbagged T34s. Nice touch👍

Absolutely epic. The most realistic ww2 videogame video I have ever seen.

Interesting little touch there of T34s with sandbag armour protection ,makes sense, and a good ref from a model making perspective.

Frigg'n dig the Jagd Panther ,, sucks it got taken out though. Wish to see more of those in action !!

Big caliber naval guns firing directly at tanks

Excellent! ....amazing work, Rick!...Thank you.

Amazing stuff

I have a few more ideas for battles that I think people would love to see plus these involved factions you don't see very often. Poland- Battle of the Bzura Largest counterattack by the Polish during the invasion that saw initial success, considered the bloodiest battle of the Polish campaign. Siege of Warsaw- Not as one-sided as people might think, despite the massive damage caused by the constant bomings, the Polish AA units inflicted heavy losses on the Luftwaffe. The first several ground assults by the Germans were repulsed by the Polish defenders inflicting heavy losses using their 75 mm anti-tank guns to knock out around 80-100 German tanks. The city's brave defenders overall managed to hold out for 20 days. Belgium- Battle of the Albert Canal including the battle of Fort Eben-Emael. Despite lasting just 18 days, the Belgians put up a serious fight, official German history has made mention of how well the Belgians fought. Netherlands- attack on The Hague a German airborne attack on the city and airfields that believe it or not ended in failure, many of the transport aircraft was destroyed by the Dutch with the German paratroopers suffering high casualties. Eventually several Dutch counterattacks managed to stop the German attack ending in a significant Dutch victory. France- Battle of Sedan Battle of Dunkirk Battle of Hannut, (the largest tank battle fought during the French campaign) Italy- Battle of Monte Cassino Battle of Anzio Battle of Sicily Greece- Battle of Pindus, major Greek counter-offensive that drove the Italians back into Albania, (the first successful allied counter-offensive of the war)

Awesome video!

Pretty impressive!

awesome job 😁😁👍👍

Excellent vidéo very realistic !! 👍👍

Man your camera angles make these videos incredible, as if I'm there fighting the good fight 🤯

Dude a real masterpiece 👍👍👍🎖🎖🎖

Wow...to think it started with soldiers heroes of ww2..this looks so good.

Awesome

awesome vid as always!

Nice one thx .

Outstanding, no fucking around. Just jump into action.

Super the army command promotes you 🎯

very good

Графика отлично , атмосферно , а физика - движение пехоты хорошо бы поправить .👍

It's awesome

True reckless defense at any cost !

I pray you young people never have to experience war on the front line. Preparing your souls to meet God a few times will convince you of choosing a different career. I am the Queen of Battle, I am the Infantry.

Окончание сражения какое-то непонятное... Исторически Кенигсберг был взят штурмом, в плен сдались 90 000 немецких солдат.

カリニングラードのほうのケーニヒスベルクか。オーデル河の東岸に旧ケーニヒスベルク空港があってここも激戦地になったのでどちらか分からなかった。

Hi Rick and GOOD VIDEO as always! I've never played CTA myself but these cinematics are just ON POINT! May I ask you one thing? Do you use any particular editing setting to achieve this "gray" and "sharpen" graphic? Or is it just standard game graphic? Thanks!

Как в кино сходил, даже лучше

❤❤❤

Man... Even just a video game graphics representation makes me feel pity for everybody involved in that fighting (and WW2 in general)... Konigsburg was my mom's hometown before she fled to Berlin, she would have only been about 7 or 8 around the time of this battle (if she was still present, her Mom and her probably fled before this). Her Dad died 4 years earlier or so, in the first week of the Barbarossa... What a waste...

Absolutely stunning video! A joy to watch! But how do you capture all these clips? Do you save the battle afterwards as a movie file and edit it to get the best parts? That's what intrigues me.

Ah the battle of Königsberg, one of the final battles of the "East Prussian offensive" which began early January 1945 and lasted 3 months, the actual battle within the city lasted 4-5 days. Considered at the time to be one of the most modernized and fortified cities in the world, it was defended by 125-130k troops (roughly 5 divisions worth) against 135-140k Russian troops. Though the fighting within the city itself lasted 4 days, the siege itself lasted at least a month (give or take). the Russians "claimed" they suffered less then 4k casualties while claiming the German casualties were 50k or so (in truth it was more like 32-35k). I honestly wouldn't trust these estimates "at face value", because they're almost entirely based on Soviet claims, the East Prussian offensive overall (including the siege of the city itself) puts the Russian casualties to roughly 50k more. 1:24 what AFV is this, im going to take a few guesses here so correct me if im wrong. It's definitely a half track variant like the Sd.Kfz 10 with a heavy anti-tank gun (most likely a Pak 38) "mount". The Sd.Kfz 10 which was initially used to tow heavy anti-tank guns, had to undergo extensive modifications to be able to do this, such as additional armor plating, and while this gave the vehicle some anti-tank capability it had noticeable drawbacks as well, the vehicle was really too small for such a powerful gun, which put strain on the chassis, rotating the gun to fire was very limited because of the gun shield that was installed, and despite the additional armor it offered very little protection to the crew. One more thing, if you listen to the distinctive "hollowed" sound the gun makes when firing, its because of the muzzle break of the Pak 38

Wow! So the us army (ww2 vintage) took on the nazi's (in western europe) with just a medium tank (M-4, Sherman), versus the Eastern front, in which the nazi's and soviets were using heavy tanks (T-34-85 against Pzkw VII Panther, etc.)

👍🙋‍♂️

Thank - you . ( 2023 / May / 30 )

Meine ehre heist treue 🙋‍♂️

Wenn ein Tiger einen alliierten Panzer auf 1000 Meter getroffen hat,dann war es vorbei,in diesen spiel ist das wohl nicht so.

I found this game interesting and i do like it,any tips how to unlock all units and also make those battles?

из данного видео я НЕ ПОНЯЛ а кто собственно вышел победителем ??? ..а ведь судя по данному(несомненно документальному т.е исторически правильному)Кенигсберг таки остался не взятым...или как ?

👍👍👍👍🇨🇱❤️

никто так в лоб не атаковал ! если подбивали несколько танков искали обход или вели обстрел из су 152 обрушивая целые дома . известен случай когда с ПТР из окна здания , в крышу была подбита пантера .

War is hell

Люблю эту игру. Company of Heroes курит в сторонке

Clash of amoured forces

can i download those wonderful mods?

rick, whats your sound mod?

Battlefield scenes are Intense which is exactly what happened in the final months of the war in the East. One comment for the future: to build a better sense of continuity try picking one element such as a pair of T34s and follow them for a full unbroken 3 minutes. No cuts or stoppages in the video. The scenes are realistic but far too brief! Stop jumping from scene to scene! Too many cuts show a lack of attention span.

' "PANZER VOR"!!!!!!!!......./

Что ..опять ?! 🦓

Hi :) name of the mod ?

what game?

What IS this game ?

Танки СССР ис2 тт немецкие танки немогли пробит с переди броня крепка. автомати закненялся вентовка норма. Солдати 0.

Very Disturbing.. In Black and White old movies style.. if you choose the most realistic times. i'm sure you can have a reallistic archive picture.. Think it's a real danger .. we can't now trust our eyes... Maybe Ulkkrainian war is false.................. we enter un Orwell 1984 world

✈？

Чё за хрень? Это ваши фантазии или исторические события?? Под К 12:02 Кеницбергом потери обораняющих были намного больше чем атакующих

better write koenigsberg instead of konigsberg.

In Königsberg starb mein Großonkel und nun bin ich in der Ukraine an der Front...

В реальности ,дух Немцев был не такой ,как например в Бреслау !Всех с Днем Штурма Кенигсберга с 6.04.1945-9.04.1945 !Все кто будет в Калининграде ,посетите бункер генерала Ляша,где подписана капитуляция Германского гарнизона !

ХЕРНЯ ВСЁ ЭТО !! НЕ БЫЛО ЭТОГО ! ГОРОД БЫЛ ВЗЯТ УДАРОМ ШТУРМОВЫХ ОТРЯДОВ И МАССИРОВАННЫМ УДАРОМ АРТИЛЕРИИ И АВИАЦИИ!
