Go Kumbirai, make us proud. We support you

"The only time Germany ever deployed their paratroopers"... that is just plainly untrue. The Germans deployed paratroopers in almost every major campaign. Operations Weserübung, Mercury, and Dragoon were all airborne operations. As well as drops on key objectives in the Netherlands for Case Yellow and various airborne actions on the Eastern Front. In a nutshell, the Wehrmacht lost on the Eastern front due to inadequate logistics overstretched across a vast expanse of poor Soviet infrastructure. Adding even more men and equipment would have exacerbated that problem. They had the firepower for the task but troop sustainment, resupply, and reinforcement was egregiously inadequate even before Blau. Which is also something the Wehrmacht's own logisticians warned would happen. Some of them even accurately predicted the limit of advance to within 10s of kilometers (in 1940, pre-Barbarossa). I'm sure the guest speaker probably covered those points but the introducer undermined my confidence too much to keep watching.

Go, Kumbi! 🥰All the best in your new team!

Wah kya baat hai

1:21:15 Written to Franz Urbig, German banker and also Disconto-Gesellschaft.

39:30 actually this was a joke not used as a joke in Germoney.

There is so much nonsense crap "facts" in this introduction, thank god Stahel is the main speaker.

As very common for western lecturers he is totally silent about multimonth tripartite talks in Moscow on stopping Hitler between Britain and France on one side and USSR on the other. These talks were totally fruitless because both British and French delegations had no authority for signing any binding agreement. The British delegation had also specific instructions not to tell anything meaningful to the Soviets altogether. Only after many months of absolutely meaningless negotiations Stalin decided on changing the course. By the way, the lecturer carelessly says "foreign minister Molotov". He forgot to mention that Molotov had been appointed only recently when the talks in Moscow became a failure. Before that, Stalin's long time foreign minister was Maxim Litvinov - a staunch Anglophyl who was even married to an Englishwoman. In fact, Soviet foreign ministry under Litvinov was his personal domain. So you may definitely say that it were the British who made everything to change him for Molotov. Second: you have to remember the Munich agreement. Yes, the Western sources condemn it but only relating to surrendering Chechoslovakia. But in fact, the Munich deal had a second important consequence: throwing the USSR out of European politics. The leading western democracies acted so as the USSR doesn't exist at all and any agreements with it are useless. Yes, it was Chamberlain's success, the Soviet Union was totally isolated right before the war. Having started negotiations in Moscow Stalin hoped this isolation would be gone. This hope proved to be wrong. And in the end Stalin faced the perspective to be left with Nazi Germany alone without any allies. Very bleak perspective. And at that moment the German proposal came. Unlike British and French stance, the Germans were fully businesslike. The essence of these proposals were: we mustn't necessarily be friends, but let's define clearly our spheres of interest and agreee not no meddle in each other's affairs. Stalin's reaction was obvious. And then, when the WW2 began and the British were trying again to woo Stalin, he answered gloatingly: Gentlemen, you had been trying so hard to throw me out of European politics. Ok, you won, I left. What's wrong this time?

Never realized that because the nazis attack in Greece, this caused them take their operation in Russia as a late start ( thus having to deal with a russian winter).

Fantastic lecture. Dr. Stahel appears here: 25:24

I thought you had a special guest. Were you supposed to give his address?

I found his book on Operation Barbarossa rather skewed. He cannot seem to allow Germany the credit of winning a single victory throughout the 3 army groups in the initial stages of the campaign rather he pins everything down to Soviet ineptitude, although in critiquing German armour from the onset, he states it was woefully underarmoured. So which is it? I suspect the initial successes can be any reason other than Germany's then ability to wage war well. He is of course one of the many students of Glantz so this is to be expected. But what I find bizarre with many of the current historians is this narrative of the Germans not coming close to destroying the Soviet Union which, let's be honest, is a far cry from the truth of the matter. Regarding Barbarossa he puts forward the legitimate argument that Germany was woefully under powered for invasion due to its haphazard design, armour, and planning, highlighting issues within logistics, production, and command fractures. Yet he doesn't seem to acknowledge that based on poor intelligence Germany was building for a rapid victory, crushing the bulk of the Soviet forces west of Dnper and Dvina rivers. With this in mind, can one honestly state Barbarossa's strategic direction to be a failure? Obviously it was, but not for the reasons he puts forward. And now there's a multitude of armchair historians echoing this revisionism that Germany never came close because of issues mentioned above, and that Germany never stood a chance. I'm quite sure had the French stopped Hitler in 1940 we'd be having this conversation today about how badly planned Case Yellow was on Germany's part. Just a few thoughts.

In September 1939 when National Socialist Germany and Soviet Russia invaded Poland the Communist had already murdered between 50-75 million innocent people and the National Socialist had Not murdered their 1st thousand innocent people! But we are told that the British and French declared War on Germany and Not on Soviet Russia because they could only confront 1 enemy at a time and it was obvious who the greater Evil was!!! Makes perfect logical sense!?? I Guess that most Historians don't bother building the timeline & retaining the information but once it is done you will find many holes in the official narrative

This fun fact gets me banned for hate speech

By the end of the war the Soviet military will exceed 37 million in their armed forces! The Germans lost the 6th army with 300 k men and equipment @ Stalingrad and was never able to conduct another major offensive again. The Germans had inflicted about 7 times the amount of losses on the Soviets in the 1st 6 months and yet the Soviet Colossus continued to grow & swell

all the houses around the lake make nitrogen ,shit!!! do not do that ,you are polluted, period, it is no mystery, politicians that run the area are neglecting their jobs ,I grew up in Holland area I have a BS Nat RES UM

Muskegon, Michigan history-- all of these real people and their families...is just absolutely fascinating to me. Thank you for doing all the work to help this important history to stay alive!

Excellent discourse on the Barnarosa.

I like that question he said Who are they.. 😊 they're like mushrooms popping up in the field. You'll know that when you see them.

Clarence Boddicker?

disappointing

Because kepford was half Jewish he was never given awards such as medal of honor while other pilots who didn't do crap got MOH and Navy Cross! Ike was a American Hero!!

The role* and influence

Equity and diversity in the same time and space is logical fallacy!

The game just went out for those online as an FYI

Reiterating old myths and dogmas

One of the best explanations I have heard why wear and tear wore down and wrecked the German Army in the East. An army designed for Central European conditions is woefully unprepared for conditiins in Russia.

Her examples of accusations against enemies foreign or political remind me of Q anon beliefs that Democrats run child pornography rings or of suggestions that Disney co. encourages pederasty. Will historians debate one the day the veracity of these claims?

Thanks, Dr. Selmon and all of our uniquely talented students for making this a year of growth and learning!

Why did the stream end before time was up?

Crete was NOT the first deployment of German paratroopers in WW2.
