Katyusha but the sixth army is at your door 

Men- real, living and feeling men and women -went through hell before they even died. They had dreams, they had hope, and the young were just as certain as you and I that they would never die. So many were proven wrong...

What a time to be alive

Forgot to add the sound of stuka sirens raining hell from above

when the people of the distant future look back on this geological era, they will remark on the abundance of oil and fossils in what was once the jewel of the Volga.

-What’s your taste in music? -it’s glorious!

I don't think people nowadays can fathom how apocalyptic and dreadful those days were. Not knowing if the smoke would clear, or if you were going to be alive 15 minutes from now.

The USSR didn't regain its prewar poulation of 1939 until 1989, even with the Eastern Bloc countries, it took 50 years to make up the loss of life. Reconstruction took so long because the Soviet Union annexed so many war-torn countries with destroyed economies within a year, and their economies would be a drain on the rest of the USSR for decades to come.

Don't worry guys, Steiner will do his attack and we will win the war

cant wait to hear this in 12k live action

Forgot to put BM-13 "Katyusha" sounds over.

the golden years

By the time the 6th Army reached Stalingrad, they were understrength, overextended and at the breaking point of their supply lines.

“Not one step back!”- Order Number 227

6th Army: *advances on Stalingrad* Paulus: "Why do I hear boss music?"

For us there is no land beyond the volga

What someone hears when they say something bad about Wii U:

Quote is the desc hits hard af

Plot twist: Its an unedited recording

everyone gangsta till Hilter hears that they took back Stalingrad

Die wacht am rhein, except the artillery doesn't stop

"for whom the bell tolls" but you're stuck in the trenches of verdun

Battotai but the US Army is firebombing Tokyo and you're in a factory

Nice and peaceful isnt it бабушка?

this one is strong

I searched katyusha and for some reason, half the results was weeb shit.

Hey! Hey you there Take your Panzerschokolade, it'll make you feel better

"What do you mean you're scared, comrade? Quickly, grab this Mosin with no ammo and charge the enemy!"

Stop watching this brother we must take the City for the fatherland

Erika but you are about to take Paris

Primavera but you're part of the "Azul" Division in the Eastern Front

When playing Hearts of Iron (the original), I'd play all these Russian folk and military songs on Windows media player on the background 😁

Please make "Defenders of Moscow bu the Red army marching to seelow heights"

Thank you comrade for not using the anime girl version of this song.

"That's a nice 6th army you got there, it'd be a shame if it got encircled." - Zhukov probably

I love how the haunting wind matches the music. It's such a dreary feeling.

“we beat off the next attack with stones, firing occasionally, and throwing our last grenades. Suddenly from behind a blank wall in the rear, came the grind of a tank’s caterpillar tracks. We had no anti-tank grenades. All we had left was one anti-tank rifle with 3 rounds. I handed this rifle to the antitank rifleman, Burdyshev, and sent him out through the back to fire at the tank point blank. But before he could get into position, he was captured by German Tommy-gunners. What Burdyshev told the Germans, I don't know, but I can guess he led them up the garden path. Because an hour later, they started to attack at precisely the point where I had put my machine gun, with its emergency belt of cartridges. This time, reckoning that we had run out of ammunition, they came impudently out of their shelter standing up and shouting. They came down the street in a column. I put my last belt in the machine gun at the semi-basement window and sent the whole of the 250 bullets into the yelling-dirty-grey-Nazi mob. I was wounded in the hand but did not let go of the machine gun. Heaps of bodies littered the ground. The Germans that were still alive ran for cover in panic. An hour later, they led our anti-tank rifleman on to a heap of ruins and shot him in front of our eyes for having shown them the way to my machine gun. There were no more attacks. An avalanche of shells fell on the building. The Germans stormed at us with every possible kind of weapon. We couldn't raise our heads. And then we heard the ominous sounds of tanks began to crawl out. This clearly was the end, guardsmen said goodbye to one another and with a dagger, I scratched on the wall, “Rodimtsev’s Guardsmen fought and died for their country here”

I live in Volgograd, it is definitly strange feeling, when you know that this town was basicaly rebuild on top of the world's worst graveyard, Mamayev Kurgan alone probably still hold some unnamed fallen soldiers beneath the ground. Even to this day there is a stories of when new construction is starting, people find undetonated mines and grenades underground, most of it won't explode and is neutralised, but sometimes stories appears as some unfortunate people blow up on those explosives in some outskirts.

i heard it through the grapevine but your in a mud filled fighting hole in Vietnam right before the tet offensive

This is absolutely incredible, really captures the dreary hopelessness of the eastern front.

Hey Hitler look in the distance, its Bagration! Hitler: I dont see it? Neither did Army Group Center Edit: Hej Sokoly but you're a Polish Home Army soldier fighting in a bombed out house in Warsaw during the uprising.

Fun fact : over 2 million casualties in a single city than the entire western front

Great grandfather was a sapper attached to the Soviet 51st Army. he was inside the city from October 42 to February 43. He didn't like to talk about it.

Hey comrad, I know things look pretty bad right now but... They are gonna get *way worse*

Stop watching this brother, we must really defend the motherland (Keep commenting comrades, I'm here watching)

nice, the red army's chior singing of Katyusha imo one of the best

This awakens a very strange feeling. A feeling that makes me want to fight to the end

During the like late 1943 period and onwards the soviets began using the soviet national anthem as a method of psychological torture against German defensive. They would play the song across the battlefield on hundreds of record players in their trenches and would sometimes charge at the end of the song. The problem was, the Germans didn't know how many times it would be played before the charge, or if the charge would even come. Sometimes the red army just did it to disguise the sound of moving tank columns and other times it was just to keep the germans on edge to make them weary and weak for when the attack actually happened.

Katyusha and Erika became the symbols of the opposing sides but are basically the same song, if you read the lyrics

“The street is no longer measured by meters but by corpses ... Stalingrad is no longer a town. By day it is an enormous cloud of burning, blinding smoke; it is a vast furnace lit by the reflection of the flames. And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure.” -Max Hastings

Saying that the Luftwaffe will successfully supply the encircled sixth army is the same as saying that Steiner will come.

German soldier: "can't wait to go home" Russian soldier: "NO MERCY WAS SHOWN AT STALINGRAD NON WILL BE SHOWN HERE" Edit:this was completely satire, with that HOLY CRAP iv never gotten this many likes...woah

"The path towards our glorious victory has been a journey of blood and brutality. All of it has been necessary. When the flag of our motherland flies atop the Reichstag, all of Berlin know that the evil of the Fascist Reich has been wiped from the face of the earth." -Viktor Reznov, entering the Reichstag

Разлетались головы и туши, Дрожь колотит немца за рекой. Это наша русская «катюша» Немчуре поет за упокой. Расскажи, как песню заводила, Расскажи про «катины» дела, Про того, которого лупила, Про того, чьи кости разнесла. Все мы любим душеньку «катюшу», Все мы любим, как она поет, Из врага выматывает душу, А бойцам отвагу придает! Фронтовая версия

This hits different..

unfortunately kiev right now.

Fun fact: The BM-13 Rocket Artillery Truck (Katyusha) was called as Stalin's Organ by the Germans because once the rockets fly, it screeches with a deafening sound like a broken church organ signifying death. If you can hear them play and tell the tale, you were probably the lucky ones.

1,129,619 men. That’s the price that the USSR paid to hold Stalingrad. That number is larger than the total population of some US states. It’s almost 2x the population of Luxembourg. But Stalingrad held. The city named after the man of iron never officially fell. Pockets of resistance continued to hold out until the 6th army was surrounded and destroyed. All it cost was the population of a small country.

Can you do Blood on the Risers but you've only got 2 clips for your Garand left in Arnhem?

POV: you are fighting in the battle of Kursk when Polyushka Poyle plays but your hiding behind a burning T-34 Armed with a PPsh And all of your comrades are dead laying beside you while you lie in wait for the next wave.

How about "Frontline Katyusha" but you're a red army in shattered Berlin

Do Lili Marlene next but it’s operation Uranus and the 6th army is about to be cut-off

Katyusha but you live in Ukraine

The face you get when you realize that this is an actual audio recording of the actual battle

Panzerlied, but you are pushing out the French Tank Brigade from Belgian-French Borders

"Dont tell mom im in chechenia" but you just saw your friends tank get blow to pieces.

R.I.P. Dimitri Petrenko. “He should’ve died in Stalingrad.”

Eternal Glory to every Soviet soldier who fought and defended the great city of Stalingrad.

jfc, the amount of people in these comics who have only seen Enemy at the Gates and treat it as a historical truth.

I hope I don't hear the exact thing live from outside my house.

Sword of Stalingrad - is a bejewelled ceremonial longsword specially forged and inscribed by command of King George VI of the United Kingdom as a token of homage from the British people to the Soviet defenders of the city during the Battle of Stalingrad. The sword is a double-edged, two-handed longsword, approximately four feet long, with a solid-silver crossguard. The acid-etched inscription in Russian and English reads: ГРАЖДАНАМ СТАЛИНГРАДА • КРЕПКИМ КАК СТАЛЬ • ОТ КОРОЛЯ ГЕОРГА VI • В ЗНАК ГЛУБОКОГО ВОСХИЩЕНИЯ БРИТАНСКОГО НАРОДА TO THE STEEL-HEARTED CITIZENS OF STALINGRAD • THE GIFT OF KING GEORGE VI • IN TOKEN OF THE HOMAGE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE

when the sixth army knocks, let them in... AND THEN LOCK THE DOOR

For every 1 American soldier killed in action throughout the entire war, there were 93 Soviets who died on the Eastern Front

An idea for a video: "Bomberfliegermarsch over the skies of Spain", aircraft motor sounds, a diving here or there, sound of flak or mgs gunning around... and, of course, the Stuka siren

who's here before 3ww?

Come on Dmitri, this is no place to die

Feels nostalgic for some reason. The wind really makes it feel authentic

Farewell to Nova Scotia but you're the last line of defence at the battle of york (now toronto) in 1812

I dont support communists but russia tried to seem intimidating and scary with there large numbers and they did it damn well.

"He'd been with me from the Siege of Stalingrad to the Fall of Berlin."

Nice.

Fun fact:u live in ukraine

Showed this to my grandpa, why is he doing the worm.

this could perfectly serve as a TNO super event

Could you do a similar arrangement for the song alyosha So I can have in RU-vid my PTSD from Red orchestra 2

Привет товарищи! The song is funny, but when listening to it you think about the war, it becomes sad. sorry if there are mistakes in words.

Every 60 seconds , a german dies un stalingrad , TIC TAC TIC TAC FRITZ !

imagine ancient, medieval soliders randomly getting teleported into stalingrad (dont ask me how) and then they know what is real horror of war.

Here’s a suggestion: “It’s a long way to Tipperary” but your unit is dying in the trenches at Gallipoli

Everytime I mistakenly click the anime version, I listen to this to cleanse my soul.

It's really haunting knowing most of the Eastern Front Terrain is just a giant graveyard

I hev been finding these epic kinds of videos alot lately. May we never forget the terrible sacrifices that were made in this war. May we never forget the veterans and may we never forget The Battle Of Stalingrad.

I did my history project on Stalingrad and I couldn't believe the sheer scale of misery

Russian music is so beautiful, so melodic. God I love it so much.

Medic! Medic! He's been hitted right in the feels!!!

We have lost freinds We have lost family But I'm the end we never lost stalingrad Soviet veteran of WW2

You can now listen to this at the gates of Kiev

Katyusha becomes German when u sing it in Spanish. Only real ones will know.

People laugh at the 6th army getting encircled but what about the Soviets getting juked by the 12th army which also proceeded to rescue the 6th army and half of Berlin from the Soviets.

"Russ play katyusha!" German Solider near the end of battle for Stalingrad
