WW2: The Eastern Front (Brutal Footage) 

In hindsight maybe the Allies should have fought with Germany against the USSR. I am not saying turn a blind eye too their crimes. Eastern Europe suffered after WW2 because of Stalin and his cronies.

@@AnnaLuchia they all was on amph´s . google-picture search this: PILOTS TO MANY MISSIONS? ... and you find even a advertise-poster for it. or google: ww2 benzedrine and you find more info. it was new at this time and the people was not so clever back in 1942 to use search engines to inform himself for side-effects. but i guess you are in the age where the typical stereotype infos from history-channel or discovery channel or even some teachers has good function.

the same cronies are in the WH now!@@scotsman555

​@@scotsman555Oh yeah, that is what you say instead of ,,thank you''... Let's forgive nazis the concentration camps, Holocaust and fucking genocide of slavic people and let's blame Soviet people for bringing peace to Europe? Soviet Union lost 27 million people in that war, our ancestors fought for freedom, for humanity and for the MOTHERLAND. Stalin was only a fucking dictator who also killed 30 millions of soviet people. But don't you dare to compare him and glorious soldiers of Red army. You know what? Have you ever heard of Elbe river and what happened there? American, British and Soviet soldiers met there, they were BROTHERS and they fought against ONE enemy. So please keep your dirty mouth closed and learn history. British Empire and US had way more war crimes than Russia/USSR ever. But in WW2 they were ALLIES.

​@@scotsman555And the allies would have been crushed

The Russians were gonna whip them no matter what else happened. They had too many soldiers, the natural resources, a subservient culture and a dictator at least as brutal as Hitler who was willing to kill every Russian and every German to win.

Yep.

The US fought simultaneously on three fronts and won them all.

@@duanelinstrom4292 And glad we won. But congratulations on missing the point completely. Pound for pound the German army really was the best on the planet. One on one they would have smashed anyone, including us. Hate to say it but yeah. And they almost whipped the whole developed world.....alone.

america fought all three major axis powers (if you include japan as axis) on 3-4 fronts and still won

You want to congratulate the Nazi propaganda photographers, attached to the invading German armies, whilst they engage in slaughtering vast numbers of sacrificial Russians….strange choice

It wasn't that long ago

@@ryanschneider3324 Ok,80 years. But how technology & society has changed in that time.Those early cameras were heavy,cumbersome & the developing,projecting,storing etc. It says to me that in those precarious,moving war fronts they are commendable.

@ryanschneider3324 It wasn't that long ago Uhhh yes it was 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not true. While there have been a fair share of wars since WW2, the combined death tolls of all these wars is not even 25-40% of WW2's death toll. So, yes large conflicts still exists, but the number of people who have never known war and live in relative safety had grown exponentially due to international regulations and treaties.

and look at asshole Putin is doing today

I think even an experienced soldier today can´t imagine the brutality of the Eastern Front. My grandfather never said a word about this time after he returned home from russian captivity in 1948. Once a year he traveled to Heiligenbeil, East Prussia, to honor two fallen comrades who fell to save his life. He did this until shortly before his death in 1983.

Ww2 in Europe was basically just a Russo German war with small side events on the west

@@SuperGermanIrishdamn Russians were too merciful. Considering what your grandpa did to Russians it’s basically injustice that Rus let him live….bur hey, Russian kind heart never wavers

Well it should serve as a reminder never to attack Slavs again.

@@heimdall2471 they,re attacking themselves right now!

Soviet Union losses was not stupid.

They attacked themselves already. Russian attack on Poland does ring a bell? But probably you know shit.

"On all sides..." It's not a waste of resources when you are defending yourselves against another side intent on wiping you out of existence. On the contrary, it is a valuable use of resources, for which they are left no choice.

In all honesty. I think a good portion of that comes from the fact that the Western front was literally under supplied, under strength, and mismanaged as hell by Hitler. While the Eastern front was the meat grinding war of annihilation.

@@TheHeartlessFour fatal mistakes .

Because they deserve no glory at all. They lost

@@destroyerarmor2846 where you from ?

@@destroyerarmor2846 "You don't ask victors if they were telling truth"

This is two years after the war began. That this army could not do in the vast expanse of Russia what a much stronger army could do earlier in the comparatively cozy confines of Poland does not mean the blitzkrieg was overestimated.

Yea, the average Wehrmact soldier walked every day 25 to 40 km for 1-2 weeks to get to the next fighting place.

Yes, my dad was in the US Army in WWII. He fought in the Philippines. He said they walked all the time, seldom had motor transport. When he made that remark we were looking at video of modern Army transport in Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s hard to determine what “all the time” really means.

Depends. When Blitzkrieg operations actually happened, they used their motorised divisions. So men on trucks and armoured fighting vehicles, in addition to tanks in panzer divisions. With the "regular infantry" following behind. Regulary infantry was mostly used to defend statically and hold positions, but not in large offensive operations as the main "spear". What I'm trying to say is that the motorized component of the WW2 German Army infantry was crucial and essential for the blitzkrieg operations. It's not like they were trying to use regular non motorised infantrymen for blitzkrieg stuff. They used non motorised infantry and even cavalry as it should be used.

Essentially correct. Barbarossa was stalled several times because the spearhead out ran it's following forces. The German logistics was never able to supply its army beyond 500 miles, as stated by the commander of logistics to the OKW before Barbarossa stepped off. It was begun a month late as well, because of supply issues and concern about spring mud, thus placing the entire effort in jeopardy because of winter in Russia - which turned out to be the worst in decades. Also, German mobility in Europe was by trains and trucks rolling on hi-ways and improved hard packed well maintained roads that were well marked. This simply did not exist on the Russian frontier with most travel being done over rutted, narrow farm roads. Add the early rains of 1941 that turned it all into quagmire, and the recipe for distaster was laid out. Once you stepped off beyond Poland, you were back in the conditions of Napoleon in 1812. Incidently, the same thing happened to the Russians when they invaded Ukraine in September - early rains that kept the Russians lined up on raised farm roads, instead of fanning out across the land.

They were all set up by the Rothschild war profiteers... All sides... Those who caused the problem also sold the solution, and are doing it all over again today.

Where is this quote from?

Nah the Western front was just as brutal, the eastern front just had more casualties

That just shows you how good a American and British alliance is, both of those countries know how to reserve soldiers unlike the USSR

@@damanithegoat9653 You are illiterate and reckless. 27 million Soviets died, more than half of them civilians (bad and untrained soldiers?!?). The USA lost 0 civilians (is also logical) and that is the main reason why the western and eastern fronts could not be brutal "equally". It was a mass murder because all Slavs were subhuman to the Nazis and were purposefully enslaved or murdered. Sounds kind of inhuman and brutal, doesn't it? Let us add Stalingrad. In this single industrial TOWN five times more Wehrmacht troops perished than in the whole operation of Overlord. More than 60 percent of the ENTIRE Wehrmacht was on the Eastern Front. Think about it.

@@damanithegoat9653 thats not true

@@tobyford189 It’s very true

But not impossible. The USSR was weak in that its top-heaviness (Stalin ran everything) and strong in its geography. If Hitler had devoted all his strength to knocking out Stalin, he would have defeated the USSR. Instead, he faffed about, trying to do several things instead of the most important thing. It's the same mistake he made earlier in switching to bombing British civilians instead of finishing off the RAF. Make no mistake...Germany could have won. If someone more sane and competent had been leading them, they would have, and there's no telling what the world would look like today.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@siler7Germany could never have reasonably pulled through with a victory during the war. They didn’t have the resources, population, or time to win a total war against 3 of the largest economies on the planet, all at once. Especially when all 3 were supporting each other with lend lease. The part you said about the Battle of Britain blunder was true though. However it’s debatable if a “victory” in the air during the battle would have pushed the British to the negotiating table, seeing the pathetically small size of the Kriegsmarine. The only option for victory would be to take out one at a time, infeasible due to both the Brits and Americans being allied, and the Soviets at least considered partners.

@@IMP_ROM Taking out one at a time was the point of what I said. The opportunity to do that was when the RAF was weak. Germany didn't need a navy if they had air superiority...the RN would have been able to do little without air support. Certainly Germany couldn't have occupied Britain, but a treaty was a very real option. If Germany had ruled the skies, Churchill would have been replaced with somebody who was willing to make a deal. Then an earlier, more focused attack on Moscow, and Europe could look very different today.

@@siler7 Reasonable.

Actually the opposite is true. They used horses so they could continue their offences especially in winter when the mud on the Russian roads turns into a stodgy quick sand forcing vehicles to stop and break down, so horses were much more efficient

Wym ? It's Europe obliviously

Well as a long-time armchair historian of WWII, about 40 years, I look for tactical markings, their gear, types of vehicles, and the gear and clothing the troops are wearing if it's not documented. So if you see MG-34s's its most likely from early war and not 1942-43, and it's at least 1942 if you see a Pz III J at 4:01 for example which arrived in time for Case Blue.

3:52 4:10 4:11 Stalingrad North. 4:00 Railway near Orlovka?

Be grateful we even have the footage.

since most of these clips are from the german wochenschau which was the weekly propaganda news that you could go and see in the cinemas you most likely can find out where it was filmed since the anaouncer usually tells what unit they were following that week and whats going on in the clips

That's why the nazis were impressive, they literally fought against the world

the push on Moscow,they could only supply 1 panzer division,leaving the rest of Panzers behind

@@reicheagle1942 there airforce was also low on fuel aswell being serverly damaged from the RAF

Yes pretty much from 1941 onwards, the logistics people and leadership knew it was just a matter of time until they ran out of fuel, metal and other vital resources. Especially when they failed at getting the oil from the Caucasus and Romania.

@@LK-bz9sk Even as an American I cringe at the self-congratulation claiming that the west won the war. Albert Speer had a great line in one of his books about telling Hitler when the war would be over based on when what natural resources would have Russian soldiers standing on them. Speer got himself fired from that.

The commissars on the back lines machine gunning their own helped bolster said will.

Retreating one year you mean for the soviets? The soviets got their first small victories in late 41 and early to mid 42 before stalin grad.

@@nigel900 This is a massive fallacy. Ordinary soldiers in war do a job, often with an implicit or even explicit threat of being shot if they don't.

Even those who do end up going along and fighting mostly continue to fight because of much closer more personal reasons; fight for the friends they have to their left and right. War is terrible.

@@galacticbananastopmotions7292 Well....yes and no. The "average" German soldier(family as well) was bolstered by his ideas of racial superiority, and used said ideology as a justification for his invasion of foreign sovereign countries and the atrocities committed. So in the case of the Russians vs. the Germans, only one side was the invader. Slavs were considered untermenschen, after all. (The case of the Russians vs. the Poles is exactly the same(at the same time), with the Russians being the ones invading and committing the atrocities.) So in terms of remembrance, one side should always be remembered for doing their worst. But in no way assume I think the Soviets were justified in their ideology, and crimes, or were somehow better in any way. There is not much difference between the nazis and the communists/socialists. Just different colorful banners. I was born in Prague. I can tell you all about the tanks rolling in, in '68.

Germany were very close to defeating the USSR, but due to logistic and fuel problems they could not reach there goal, the germans got too ahead of themselves, one of the biggest causes for the failing comes primaraily down to there fuel shortage, which that is the main reason they hit stalingrad to get to the south of russia to hit there oil.

True up to perhaps 1940, when the British beat them in the air with far less equipment and men. Oh, then they got beat in Africa, by the British and then the U.S. and it was a retreat by the Greatest Army from then on. The German Army was only great when they attacked unprepared nations and civilizians. The U.S. has the greatest army in history, no one knowledgeable of military history denies that fact. The U.S. emerged from WW2 as the greatest military in history with a larger and most modern technology, equipment, and the sheer number of serving personnel. It has remained that way ever since.

Were you actually at the Western front? I didn't think so. Russia deserves much of the credit for defeating Germany, but it was the Americans who furnished Russia with supplies. It was the Western forces that operated the air bombing missions that reduced Germany's capacity to supply it's military, it was Germany's poor strategic planning for it's inadequate supply lines for invading Russia and attacking political vs. military targets it's war. It was the Russian winter that decimated the German army.

@@astrum1508 Yeeeh, sure, that's real cute. Except they forgot to mention a few teeny-tiny details 😂 As I said earlier, the volume of goods received by Lend-Lease amounted to 4% of everything produced by the USSR. According to Raymond Goldsmith from the US Department of War Production, allied assistance did not exceed 1/10 of Soviet arms production (I emphasize: not total, but only *arms* production). The vast majority of machinery, equipment and materials were delivered to the USSR in 1943-1945. That is, *after* a turning point during the war. So, for example, in 1941, Lend-Lease delivered goods worth about 100 million $, which amounted to less than 1% of the total supply. By the end of 1942 it was 27,6%. Thus, more than 70% of Lend-Lease deliveries fell on 1943-1945. An even more significant example is automobiles: as of April 30, 1944, only 215 thousand units were delivered. That is, more than half of the Lend-Lease cars were delivered to the USSR in the last year of the war. That's fucking *magnificent.* I don’t even know what we would do without such MONUMENTAL contribution. And of course, as if that is not enough, most of the equipment delivered was *obsolete fucking garbage.* Look at that sick, state of the art Lend-Lease tank: miro.medium.com/max/1000/1*ZvvrYJ-XrqmU02D6ObhNFQ.png Take a good hard look. What a beast. What a game-changer! But absolutely all of these merits fade before the fact that *the US also helped the Third Reich* throughout the war. During the Nuremberg trials the President of the Imperial Bank Hjalmar Schacht said in anger: “If you want to judge German industrialists, put US businessmen next to them, because the Opel factory that produced military equipment was owned and funded by General Motors”. And he was right. Schacht gave dozens of such examples. The Americans led a successful business with the Third Reich. IBM supplied the Germans with computers, spare parts and paper for them. During the war Standard Oil not only sold millions of barrels of oil to the Third Reich, but also created a gas station for German submarines in the Canary Islands. By the way, the company was owned by the Rockefeller family. It was Rockefeller's fuel that powered Nazi tank blitzkrieg. After the war, investigators found that during the most intense warfare, Rockefellers shipped through his shell companies more than 10,000 tons of cotton to the Germans for gunpowder production. At the same time, the supply of the US and USSR army via Lend-Lease was constantly delayed or not carried out in full. You know what? During the war, Coca-Cola established production of Fanta in Germany. Coca-fucking-Cola 🙄 This list just goes on and on and on. Moreover, it was mainly military products: components for V-rockets, special communications equipment, fuses for shells, radar equipment and much more. The US made a fortune in this war. At the cost of blood of foreign soldiers in a foreign land. Which, in fact, was their true goal, because: “If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way *let them kill as many as possible* " - Harry S. Truman. Nuff said. So yeah, give me a fucking break with all that "muh Lend-Lease" bullshit 👌

General Patton had a plan to go after russian but the us president at the time hated him an said he was crazy .

You mean Joe Biden?

That's a very bizarre take. We are talking about "heroes" who slaughtered innocent civilians by the millions. No "hero" in my book, and certainly not worthy of respect.

@@Azog150 Heroes my arse. Invaders.

I would have rather waited for another 50 years for those advancements to occur without the loss of almost 80 million people, but you do you....

It’s sad to say this , but first to you about both wars and the men and how we learned from both wars , but at a terrible cost ! So without saying anymore through all that has committed we would not be a super power without the loss, The pain , those feared moments we just witnessed and yes everyone every person that was there that still lay there should be honored with the up most !!! Through death and destruction we are better for it , sad to say ! I Salute to all how has seen and inside the walls of war and / or conflict!!!!

@@scotsweeting9852are you on some sort of medication? Your words make less sense than your sentiments.

und für was? Von Lobliedern auf dich haste nix mehr, weil die Blumen über dir wachsen. Nix mit ehrenvoll und glorreich. Sinnlos verheizt wurden die armen Jungs auf beiden Seiten, so wie jetzt wieder die Russen ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste ihre Leute gegen die Ukrainer verheizen. Warum und für was? Haben die aus den Millionen Toten, die sie verbuchen mussten, mal so gar nichts gelernt? Anscheinend wächst russisches Gras wohl schneller über Gräber und damit sind die Gefallenen aller Kriege wohl auch schneller vergessen oder ist es doch so simpel, dass sie einfach zahlenmäßig mehr Verfügungsmasse haben und damit prassen, heute wie damals? "Genosse Stalin, wir haben die Ortschaft gesichert. Verluste durch Feindeinwirkung: 324335 Soldaten, wir benötigen zwei neue Divisionen, um die Stellung zu halten. Ja, nehmen Sie sich soviele Männer wie Sie brauchen". Jo, kein WOrt über die Gefallenen, da wurde einfach neues Kanonenfutter angefordert und bewilligt. Punkt aus. Dafür im Dreck krepieren? Nee danke, da bin ich lieber Feigling. Ganz einfach, weil der Tod eines Infantrie oder Panzerschützen einfach null Unterschied macht. Ich glaub dieses romantische Bild gibts nicht oder vielleicht mal aber das stammt noch aus ner Zeit vor dem 20. Jh. als Feldzüge noch aus einer Schlacht bestanden und das längstens ne Woche ging. So standen natürlich auch die CHancen besser, durchzukommen als wenn so n Scheiß Krieg über Jahre sich hinzieht.

nur wenn man für ein idiotisches Regime stirbt..
