YouTubers guess What if Germany won at Stalingrad 

I can create an alternative timeline where Germany wins the Battle of Stalingrad and explore the subsequent events in detail. Let's delve into this alternate history: Timeline: Germany Wins the Battle of Stalingrad 1942 August 23 - February 2: The Battle of Stalingrad begins as German forces, under Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus, launch a massive assault on the city. Despite fierce Soviet resistance, the Germans make significant progress. November 19: German forces under General Erich von Manstein break through Soviet defenses to encircle Stalingrad, effectively trapping Soviet forces inside the city. December 12: The Red Army's 62nd Army, commanded by General Vasily Chuikov, begins its last stand in the city center, resisting the German onslaught. 1943 January 10: Despite the bitter cold and dwindling supplies, German forces manage to capture key strategic points within Stalingrad, including the Mamayev Kurgan hill. January 31: Soviet attempts to break the encirclement fail as German air superiority and effective use of armored divisions thwart their efforts. February 2: The remaining Soviet forces in Stalingrad, including General Chuikov, surrender to the Germans. The Battle of Stalingrad ends in a decisive German victory. February 6: Adolf Hitler declares victory in Stalingrad, hailing it as a turning point in the war against the Soviet Union. March 12: With the fall of Stalingrad, German forces begin to consolidate their gains in the region, pushing deeper into the Caucasus and securing vital oil fields. April 5: The Axis powers, emboldened by their success in the East, launch Operation Citadel, a massive offensive aimed at eliminating the Soviet bulge at Kursk. July 4: Operation Citadel concludes with a decisive German victory. The Red Army suffers heavy casualties, and the German advance continues. 1944 January 20: Soviet attempts to halt the German advance with a winter offensive fail to regain significant territory. German defenses hold firm along the Eastern Front. June 6: Allied forces land in Normandy as part of Operation Overlord. With the Eastern Front stabilized, Germany can divert more resources to the Western Front, intensifying the conflict. July 20: A failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler by German officers results in a crackdown on internal dissent within Germany. 1945 March 27: Soviet forces launch a massive offensive along the Eastern Front, aiming to push the Germans back and liberate territories lost earlier in the war. April 30: Berlin falls to advancing Soviet troops after a prolonged and bloody battle. Adolf Hitler commits suicide in his bunker rather than face capture. May 7: With the fall of Berlin, Germany surrenders unconditionally to the Allies, marking the end of World War II in Europe. Aftermath: Post-war division: Germany is divided into occupation zones by the victorious Allied powers. The Eastern part of the country falls under Soviet influence, while the Western part is occupied by British, American, and French forces. Cold War tensions: The Soviet Union emerges from the war as a superpower, controlling vast territories in Eastern Europe. Tensions between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union escalate, leading to the onset of the Cold War. Legacy of Stalingrad: The Battle of Stalingrad remains a symbol of German military prowess and Soviet resilience. It shapes post-war perceptions of the conflict and influences geopolitical dynamics for decades to come. let's explore the border changes and the division between communist and democratic countries in this alternate Cold War scenario where Germany won the Battle of Stalingrad: Eastern Europe: Soviet Influence: With Germany's victory in Stalingrad and subsequent advances on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union gains even more territory in Eastern Europe. Countries like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria fall under Soviet influence and become communist states aligned with Moscow. Yugoslavia: Yugoslavia, under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito, maintains its independence from Soviet control and adopts a unique form of socialism, distinct from the Soviet model. It becomes a non-aligned nation, forging its path in the Cold War. Western Europe: Germany: The Western part of Germany, including West Berlin, becomes a democratic state under the influence of the Western Allies. It receives significant aid through the Marshall Plan to rebuild its economy and infrastructure. France, UK, and Benelux: These countries remain democratic and are closely aligned with the United States as part of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), forming a bulwark against Soviet expansionism. Italy: Italy remains democratic, with the support of the United States and other Western Allies. However, the influence of the Italian Communist Party remains significant, leading to political tensions within the country. Asia: China: The Chinese Civil War concludes with a victory for the Communist forces under Mao Zedong. With Soviet support, Communist China establishes itself as a major power in Asia, exerting influence over neighboring countries like North Korea and North Vietnam. Korea and Vietnam: Korea remains divided along the 38th parallel, with the communist regime in the North supported by the Soviet Union and China, while the democratic regime in the South is backed by the United States and its allies. Similarly, Vietnam remains divided between the communist North and the democratic South, leading to the Vietnam War. Middle East: Iran: Iran leans towards the West, particularly the United States, as a strategic ally in the region. However, Soviet influence extends into neighboring countries like Afghanistan, leading to geopolitical tensions and proxy conflicts. Africa: North Africa: Countries like Egypt and Libya maintain a delicate balance between East and West, playing both sides to secure aid and support for their development. Sub-Saharan Africa: The struggle for independence from colonial powers intensifies, with both communist and democratic factions vying for influence in newly formed nations. Superpower rivalry exacerbates existing conflicts, leading to instability in the region.

Certainly, even if Germany had won the Battle of Stalingrad, there were several underlying factors and strategic mistakes that would likely have led to their eventual defeat in World War II. Here are ten reasons why Germany would still have lost the war: Overextended Supply Lines: Despite capturing Stalingrad, Germany's supply lines remained stretched thin across the vast Eastern Front. Maintaining the occupation of Stalingrad and continuing the advance into the Soviet Union would have strained German resources and logistics to unsustainable levels. Soviet Industrial Capacity: The Soviet Union's vast industrial capacity, combined with its ability to relocate factories beyond the reach of German bombers, allowed it to continually replenish its armies with equipment and manpower, gradually wearing down the German war machine. Allied Material Support: The United States and the United Kingdom provided substantial material support to the Soviet Union through programs like Lend-Lease, supplying essential equipment, vehicles, and food, which bolstered Soviet capabilities on the Eastern Front. Soviet Winter Offensives: Even if Germany had captured Stalingrad, the harsh Russian winter and the Soviet Union's ability to mount counter-offensives during this period would have posed significant challenges to German forces, as experienced in previous winters during the war. Strategic Mistakes: Hitler's strategic errors, including diverting resources away from critical objectives for ideological reasons (e.g., the invasion of the Soviet Union rather than focusing on securing resources in North Africa), hampered Germany's ability to sustain its war effort in the long term. Battle of Kursk: The Battle of Kursk, which occurred after the Battle of Stalingrad in the historical timeline, would still have taken place. The Soviet victory at Kursk marked a turning point on the Eastern Front, demonstrating the limitations of German offensive capabilities and the increasing strength of Soviet defenses. Strategic Bombing Campaign: The Allied strategic bombing campaign against German cities and industrial targets would have continued to escalate, inflicting heavy damage on Germany's infrastructure, production capabilities, and morale. Internal Dissent: As the war dragged on and casualties mounted, internal dissent within Germany would have increased, exacerbated by Hitler's increasingly erratic leadership and the failures of his military strategies. This could have led to further instability and potentially even internal revolt. Allied Invasion of Western Europe: The Allies' successful invasion of Normandy (D-Day) in June 1944 would have placed additional pressure on German forces, forcing them to fight a two-front war and diverting resources from the Eastern Front. Superior Allied Coalition: Ultimately, Germany faced a coalition of powerful adversaries, including the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and other Allied nations. The combined industrial, military, and manpower resources of these countries far exceeded those of Germany, ensuring that, even if Germany had won at Stalingrad, it would have been unable to prevail in the long run against such overwhelming odds.

Genius

However, once he actually captures the city, he is now in possession of a major supply hub, making it easier for their army to move forward

​@@adenm8963this isn't hoi4 the city would have been demolished it isn't a supply hub anymore after the battle

So basically what all of them said, but with less detail.

Not a Bulgarian nationalist, literally hate this country and want to move out ASAP.

@@rewriting-history Satirical comment

This is something only a bulgarian nationalist would say ​@@rewriting-history

@@FodaseNaoLigo bro read my discord, I cant wait to move out and go live in Switzerland

@@rewriting-historyhope you get to move asap then

Which is good, if 5 different people who do this for a living say that, then it's probably true.

*and the Soviets are weak after the war

@@rewriting-historynot a single one of them mentioned the massive famine that would outbreak in the ussr if the Germans had continued to hold this vital agricultural land of the ussr into 1943

While I certainly see the Allied leadership open to the possibility of appeasing the Poles, I have doubts about all the ethnic cleansing that took place under Soviet rule taking place under Allied occupation, perhaps arming the Poles to do so? Perhaps the Poles will keep all of Prussia Instead of sharing it with the Soviets, but get none of Pomerania, homever, I doubt that Silesia will be kept in any way, and obviously the German minority in Bohemia will certainly be expelled. The Allied occupation of Germany was by no means lenient, better than the savage Soviet occupation, but the Allies deliberately starved the Germana as a form of revenge, not to mention indiscriminately bombing civilians.

Bro, what did you expect? The Germans committed huge crimes, and also proved that the balance of powers was completely broken. They had to be rescaled

Very interesting, I will keep it in mind. It's the opposite of Spain joining the Axis, which possible history has done already

I wonder how Germany would get tungsten and what Portugal would do, although with spain in the allies I don't see any reason for Portugal to stay neutral

@@rewriting-history They wouldn't they were fascists, and fascists will work with other fascists, at least in the short term.

@@Vaushgg most of these scenarios tweak with history, so they change what happend previously that led to that scenario, so if spain joined the allies the fascist would have to lose the civil war, i think you get what i’m saying

​@@VaushggFaciscts work toward their interests in the short term. The faciscts in central America were among the first to declare war on Japan after they attacked the US. I think it would be possible that the US and Britain could say offer a ton of aid to rebuild Spain after the 3 year Civil War and get them on side.

Appreciate this very much, I'm glad people are liking them

Appreciate that! I hope you will like this one, it's quite long!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you like them!

indians always be so wholesome lol

It is, the video is also quite long!

Working on it!

I hope so too! I want to appreciate the support you've shown me by purchasing RU-vid membership and the E-book, you're awesome! If you find any mistakes in the E-book, you can let me know on discord and I will fix them all! Have fun watching this video!

​​​@@rewriting-history oke np if i find something i will let you know

@@Sonia_Mapper appreciate that, hope you reach the end and like it!

​@@rewriting-history i think that your Scenario was the most realistic

Becouse it make sense for balcans bc it was mayby nucked and bombarded by soviets so they wouldn't want to get to soviet hands so they join Britain

It took me a while, but here it is!

To what extent does "colonize" mean? I don't think it would be possible for Europe to not take lands like south Africa or ports in the west. Although, avoiding full colonization would be a cool scenario

To what extent colonialism is European or true colonialism in that way count every single large Empire in Europe and every single large empire in middle East

As a person who isn't polish. What? can anyone explain the joke.

OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED

​@@4n0m113I think it's a meme reffering to a Pope who died on 21:37PM, dunno.

I don't get it, but many people seem to do. What is this? I didn't intend anything bad

​@@rewriting-history its not bad in Poland its a funny number its the hour the pope died and we just make memes about it yiu should chęci them out some of theam are very funny also wouldnt the soviet Union collapse after losing stalingrad and possibly leningrad or atleast cause some small rebelions in the red army likenin ww1 ?

One of my next videos would be about it succeeding. I see people like this topic

​@@rewriting-history nice POLSKA GUROM 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱💯🙉🥶🎳😎

POLSKA☝☝🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nukes

Longer war in china

@@cadentrevino5746 still unrealistic, unless the war goes into the late 50s

Right, doesn't make any sense. The soviet union would probably use nukes in a strategic way; on large german armies and on a few major german cities. Causing a few extra million deaths. Not depopulating western Russia, eastern Europe, Germany, and italy.

Yeah, 500m feels way too excessive nukes or not. Personal preference was from Possible history

This was before the red scare

I do have a strong accent, some people really like it. I'm working on improving it

Also, no, the German army was pretty shit. There were incompetent, with okay technology, and disconnected from reality. Like, ffs, the Soviet Union beat them, The Soviet Union is almost the modern day Russian army but was bigger and more able to replace their losses, the Soviet army was shit, and the Germans still lost the war, if the Soviets were that shit, the Germans were crap

More people would complain if Germany won. Can't please them all

@@rewriting-history I actually love the alternate fascist defeat scenarios. Like what if France stopped Germany in 1940 is my personal favorite because I think it is the most realistic. Keep up the great work.👍👍👌👌

Everybody agreed to that, but they won't get as much as they did historically

Why not​@@rewriting-history

​@@rewriting-historyits not like the germans get 30 m trops

@@mohamdlftat5207it was a major supply hub for the Volga so the Soviets not controlling it for a bit slows them down

Много благодаря, оценявам го! Има още време докато името ми се разпознава в България, ама и до там ще стигнем.

@@rewriting-history Стискам палци да се случи.

You get me wrong, I actually hate Bulgaria and want to move out. I should have given explanation for some border changes. For example, Bulgaria would keep the Greek parts so the Allies have access to the sea, which helped them land in the first place. Bulgaria capitulating to them, and being the first one to do so would help them secure some gains.

Hello there!

I would pin this comment, but I already have something. 45% voted that your scenario is the most interesting btw!

@@rewriting-history No way!

Read about Joel Brand and Adolf Eichmann, it is legit true. Just search “Germany offers Jews for trucks”.

We tried to be realistic. When we're unrealistic, people shout at us, same happens when we're realistic. Idk man, being a youtuber is hard

@@rewriting-history just do what you want no one can force you to do your videos a certain way you should also have fun while doing them.

I am not. Check my discord, I have said that if I get pissed enough from Bulgaria, I would move to your country - North Macedonia. I'm 100% going to Ohrid. All of this I have said publicly.

What do you mean "pissed enough" bro? Anyways, if you do plan on moving here, consider assimilating in our culture when you do, its the quickest way to be accepted in society here!
