In the fall of 1944, Germany's Army Group North led by Colonel General Ferdinand Schörner found themselves stranded within Latvia's Courland Peninsula.
Beneath that fragile defense line, the Red-Army had surged through the Baltic states putting immense pressure on the Army group North. Sensing the urgency, Schörner mobilized a formidable force comprising three Panzer divisions.
His strategy: unleash this powerful unit against the advancing Russian forces, aiming to push through toward Memel to move south and establish a connection with Army Group Center and reinforce their position.
This move marked the beginning of a series of monumental battles setting the stage for an epic struggle for control over the region.
At the heart of the intense conflict stood Sergeant First Class Hermann Bix, a thirty year old Panzer ace.

Kurland, the forgotten Armygroup. In the "Reich" everybody had his own problems, western allied over the river Rhein, sowiets in eastern prussia, schlesien( dont know the englisch word for it). My father was soldier of the 12th Panzer Division in Kurland, driving a 18to Famo, towing damadged Vehicles from the frontline. He was captured bei the red army, prisoned as PW until 1948 Generalfeldmaschall was a son of a bitch, brutal with no feelings for his soldiers. Hanging or shoot them for smallest mistakes

Interesting to hear from a son of a soldier, I hope your father is doing okay and got back safe and sound for the conditions (being PoW), I agree, from all sources I read Schörner managed to "stabilize" situations only by striking fear into his very own men, by threatening them with death if they gave up on an order

First of all, the transcript for this video seems a blow-by-blow recollection of Ludwig H. Dyck's account. I tried to verify some of the claims of this video (which is based on Nazi propaganda footage, ick) based on the Soviet order of battle. What I see on maps of the area described is that Bix's opponents were the 6th Guards Army. Its order of battle was: 2nd Gd.Rifle Corps (9th,71nd Gd.,166th Rifle Division) 22nd Gd.Rifle Corps (46th,90th Gd.,51st Rifle Division) 23rd Gd.Rifle Corps (51st,67th Gd.,47th Rifle Division) 103rd Rifle Corps (29th,154th,270th Rifle Division) Artillery Unit (omission: Regiment etc.) 20th Artillery Penetration Division, 8th Gun Artillery Division, 94th Heavy Howitzer Artillery Brigade, 103rd High-powered Howitzer Artillery Brigade, 4th Gun Artillery Brigade, 17th Anti-Tank Artillery Brigade, 2nd Gd.Mortar Division, 39th Anti-Aircraft Division Mobil Unit 19th Tank Corps (79th,101st,202nd Tank Brigade,26th Mot.Rifle Brigade,8th Gd.Sep.Tank Regiment,867th,1048th,1452nd SP.Arty Regiment etc.), 34h Gd.Tank Brigade, 143rd Tank Brigade, 105th Sep.Tank Regiment, 1049th,1050th SP.Arty Regiment Engineer Unit 5th Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade, 29th Engineer-Sapper Brigade The only possible source of the IS-2s in this would be the "8th Gd Sep. Tank Regiment" attached to 19th Tank Corps. That would fit. It would be interesting to match the claims in this video versus reported Soviet losses. Assuming that these are model 1943 IS-2s (likely due to the date of the battle), a Panther would have to be either quite close, or very lucky, to win in a head-to-head match. I suspect this was at quite close range from the descriptions.

Funny you doubt the German reports, but refer otherwise to Soviet documentation. The latter being proved multiple times as inaccurate, to putting mildly. Frontal armor of IS 2 was more or less impenetrable for a 75 mm shell from a Panther. However, it explicitly says, it found its way in between turret and hull, which was a lucky but possible.
@stewartmillen7708
@stewartmillen7708 7 месяцев назад
@@ougentrost Yes, I tend to doubt German reports as in many instances, a review of declassified information demonstrates that they are either greatly exaggerated, or outright wrong. Often they greatly exaggerate not only the kills, but they are highly doubtful because of the types of tanks claimed---there have been instances where German tank aces claimed to have destroyed dozens of T-34s, but the units actually opposing them were equipped with Lend-Lease Shermans or Valentines, etc., making the claims highly suspicious. As I noted, this meme is very typical of Nazi wartime propaganda. So the first thing I did was to check the Soviet order of battle, checking "Could IS-2s actually have been there?". And I discovered yes, the 8th Guards Separate Tank Regiment (should be named 8th Guards Heavy Breakthrough Regiment) was attached to the 19th Tank Corps, which spent the remainder of the war in Courland. So that part checked out. So that by itself made the claim believable, and I said little more. As for a Panther's ability to destroy an IS-2, I don't quibble with that part of the account. Heck, it's possible, though a low probability, for Panther to kill an IS-2 up to 1500 meters or a bit beyond (depends where and what angle the round lands). It's only likely at ranges < 500 meters, however, and of course while this is true for both 1943 and 1944 models, the vulnerable areas on the 1944 model are much smaller. Just from the date of this battle, these were almost certainly 1943 models. At such close ranges the Panther actually has the advantage due to its much-faster firing gun, which is why Soviet commanders were instructed to use IS-2s to provide long-range support fire, and admonished not to use them as they were used here, as close-range battering rams. Using them up-close where they were more vulnerable frontally and moreover could be flanked was the biggest reason for IS-2 losses. Here I suppose the reason why either the 19th Tank Corps commander, or the commander of 6th Guards Army violated those instructions is likely the wooded terrain, which limited LOS.

Russian steel was of very low quality (same with Optics). Also their training for tankers was very poor in most cases. Do not take stats on paper as solid facts ;) wishful thinking until it clashes with reality.
@stewartmillen7708
@stewartmillen7708 6 месяцев назад
@@Peter-vf3dl Russian tank steel was inferior? Where on earth did you read that? Russian tank steel (naval steel may be another matter; the US Navy had the reputation of fielding the best steel on the planet) might well have been the best of all the major combatants in WWII. The Germans admitted so even in 1942, and apparently gave the T-34's hull the highest possible quality multiplier in their October 1944 WaPruf evaluations. In July 1944, the Soviets started using very high-hardness steel in their IS tanks, which they calculated that 100 mm of this steel sloped at 15-18 degrees from vertical would resist the German Kwk43 88/71 on the King Tiger past 1500 meters. Moreover, this calculated result was confirmed by further testing and furthermore, the same steel was subjected to multiple 88 mm hits to see how well it withstood repeated stressing. This isn't just about testing. As I wrote above, the Soviets also examined IS-2 losses in a report in December 1944, and concluded that most irrecoverable losses to Tiger Is and Panthers occurred due to ambushes at very short ranges (300-400 meters) and at 1000 meters, the IS-2 could engage both tanks with a low probably of loss (and what losses did occur at that range were likely repairable). So here the theory matched the practice. The Americans shipped US steel to the Soviets as part of Lend-Lease aid, but the Soviets declined to use it in tanks (save light tanks); using it for other purposes as it did not meet their specifications. By contrast, everyone who tested German tank steel (British, US, and Soviets alike) concluded that at the very best it started out 'spotty' and inconsistent in quality, and that quality declined as the war went on. The Soviet testing of captured King Tigers at Kubinka where even the best-protected parts of the armor cracked, spalled, and suffered weld seam failure was replicated by later American tests done at Aberdeen on King Tiger hulls. Insofar as optics, that's another myth. Jonathan Dale wrote a detailed report on a Quora answer on comparing the Zweis optics on the Tiger versus that of British, US, and Soviet tanks using several metrics. He found that those on the T-34/85 (and presumably, on the IS-2) were only a bit less efficient than the Tiger's and were in fact better than those on earlier Soviet tanks, early Shermans, and British Sherman Fireflies. All these optics were capable of doing the job.

at the end of the war it's not true at all ( start to september 1944). A lot of crew had bare none experiences at all and the training was shorter as normal because of the danger on the fronts. A very good example of that is in 1944 during the Lorraine battle in France, the 2 Panthers brigade weren't good because of too many young crews without any experiences.

The Panther and the Tiger were superior to the T-34 and IS 2 respectively. The Germans, in almost every sphere of the War, had the better technology, but they were hopelessly outnumbered by the Soviet colussus. The Red Army has more: soldiers, tanks, artillery pieces, fighter planes and bombers, light weapons, support vehicles (trucks), ammunition and, of course, rocket artillery in the form of the Katashu. It was a hopeless situation but they fought the Soviets tooth and nail right until the very end. I am not a communist but it was the Soviets, not the British and Americans who broke the back of the German army forcing an end to the War in Europe. They lost 28 000 000 people in the process, but they got the job done in the end and defeated Hitler and Nazism!

Когда нужно было штурмовать, красная армия пересекла высокогорную , сольную пустыню Гоби ( одно только это - подвиг) и разгромила японскую Квантунской армию (численность1 миллион ). При этом потери Красной Армии -12 000 , потери японцев - более 100 тысяч. +800 тысяч пленных. Теперь для тебя небольшой урок, невежа: руководство РККА хотелось взять Берлин и захватить Гитлера. Для этого РККА сковали боями мощную группировку немцев у Зееловских высот ( группировка прикрывавший Берлин. А потом резко обошла её с севера и юга , взяли в кольцо и захватили Берлин. Ни Зееловская группировка, ни армия Венка не успели войти в Берлин. И в самом городе было не так много профессиональных войск. Поэтому в бой бросали гитлерюгенд и фольксштурм. Немцы сопротивлялись отчаянно, но штурм длился неделю. И потом всё было кончено. Если бы ркка ввязались в бои с Зееловской группировкой, то эта операция превратилась бы в Сталинградскую мясорубку. Но на месте немцев теперь были бы мы. Так что, как видишь, РККА не связывались даже в бои под Берлином. И уж тем более им было не интересно это с Курляндской группировкой. На Курляндском перешейке РККА была оставлена группировка, которая была не способна наступать. Танков почти не было ( были, но как " пожарная команда" которая могла бы купировать прорыв), но было много артиллерии которая перемалывала немцев, которые пытались наступать. Результат был тот, который хотели в Красной Армии: Курляндская группировка была изолирована и не смогла прорваться и участвовать в боях в Германии. А потом была вынуждена сдаться в полном составе Красной Армии.

The problem of course was that Germany needed all its Air Force over Germany and the Western front needed mobil forces. More ammunition was used fighting British and American aircraft than expended on the Eastern front. With production and logistics pounded into dust by the Western allies there was no way to re-supply the forces in the East. The Russian Air Force with its far less sophisticated aircraft simply had the sky more or less to themselves. The few German aircraft could only shoot down so many aircraft, never enough to seriously diminish the Soviet Air Force. Just like in Ukraine where Biden has imposed an aircraft embargo on Ukraine on Putin’s behalf, in WWII the side that had air superiority would win. And this was the Western Allies. In fact the Western Allies flew 4 engine bombers (the Soviets had none) all the way to the Front in the East to help the Stalin!
