Interesting details. CrocodileTears channel details past exhumation of WWII bodies and the specific difficulties of identification and with a forensic approach. For instance, German dog tags did not have the name, but coded numbers, make the task complicated.

The Russians wouldn’t have worried about snapping off the bits of dog tags that would normally go to Records, so many families would never have received any formal notification except “missing” notices from the German authorities. Now some families will finally know. Good to see respect to the dead shown by both Russians and Germans for the enemy war dead found in their countries.

I read recently the Italians helped the Russians and the course of the war indirectly .. Mussolini was pissed because he wanted to attack and capture the Romanian oil fields .. but Hitler got there first ...so he attacked Greece via the northern mountains ... beaten back by a corageous small Greek army . Hitler had to divert eastern front troops to Greece ....pushing back and stalling the Stalingrad advance by 6 weeks plunging the poorly clothed German troops into the depths of winter ... possibly could have overun the Russians otherwise .. how accurate this is i ldont know ... please comment if you know more

[@Gungho1a]

I wanted say you are wrong, but I doubt the six weeks and half a million+ troops would have helped much in Russia, if anything they would have added to the wehrmachts problems. The core issues on the eastern front were that the wehrmacht was unprepared for the environment, including mud, dust, cold, heat. The german industrial base was not prepared for a drawn out war, and finally, the ultimate cause of failure was that the germans had no idea how to win. Even if they had taken leningrad and moscow, why would the soviets surrender? They likely would have burnt and levelled the cities first. As it was, the further you go east in russia the broader your front gets, and tgeore russians you have in your rear areas. The germans were essentially on the defensive sixteen months after the invasion, against a nation and army they belied was at its last gasp. Barbarossa was the army's strategic mistake equivalent to the luftwaffe's battle of britain...they fought noth because they thought they had to fight, grossly underestimated what they needed to fight, and had no definitive idea of under what conditions their enemy would give up.

[@stevepelham9010]

Mussolini was the real head of the Fascists/Nationalists around the world he made friends he gave his support. Hitler did not. Mussolini never wanted as to expand to the East. He him self Franco (Spain) and Mannerheim (Finland) tryed to convince Hitler as to be pleased as he got almost all of Europe, going into Russia would be an great failiure The Britts discovered this crack so they feed Hitlers disturbed mind. Winston Churchill wanned an slaughter as Stalingrad, two flies in one slap..his main closest concern was Mussolini and yes it might have been true that Mussolini had him talks with Stalin as there where no bad blood inbeetwen them two leaders and also with others as leaders in the Balkans already in an early stage as to prevent Hitler from going East wich in turn led Germany as to advance into the Balkans and Greece.

[@Graffenwehr]

That's very true - however you have to wonder about some of their methods. Even today, the Russians commonly use tactics which utilize the physical bodies of their people. In other words, rather than use diplomacy and good public policy to prevent conflict to start with; and then in the light of conflict, to have a trained professional military with maintained equipment (and plans/procedures) at the ready, they choose to allow corruption, under funding and raw blunt force to execute their policies. So, what you get is corruption which actually sews the conflict faster. Loss of non-military options to resolve the issue.. And then in the face of use of the sword, tons of equipment which has not been maintained, or is out of date; designs which make the vehicle or vessel vulnerable to enemy fire; lack of training; and poor intelligence/planning on how to address the problem for a successful outcome. Stalin did it in 1941 on, and Putin is doing it again today. Both rule(ed) from a basis of corruption and fear, and both allow corruption to rot out their systems in and institutions from top to bottom over time. Then, when the sh*t hits the fan, the system is loaded and it fails. So, they shove human beings into the meat grinder to break it. Their intelligence services are lacking, and where they are seeing things correctly, the management will not believe what they're saying is true. Stain did not believe Hitler would invade and hesitated; Putin was sure the US/NATO would not respond and was not prepared for that either. This is one reason the death toll in the USSR was so high during Barbarossa, and also now during the Invasion of Ukraine. All of this is a horrible loss for both the Russian people, the Ukrainian people and for the rest of us as well. Russia has a long history rich in the arts, sciences, and culture. They have tons and tons of natural resources -- and NONE of what is happening today was necessary for Putin to be wealthy and (taken another way) loved and revered by his people. Imagine if instead he had focused on cementing a democratic government in place; a open economy and reasonable leadership. He could have had it all - and instead chose to be greedy and think only of himself and glory to a regime that no longer exists (the USSR). What a waste.

[@asdwerfwefgre637]

in my town, some 100 miles south of stalingrad. germans retreated in haste. they set the hospital building on fire, with their own german wounded still trapped inside. my old neighbor shared it with me. she said, she heard germans shouting, burning and dying all night long. kind of sad. but take into account. in my town the germans shot some 800 civilians, mostly women and children, some 600 were jewish families, on the first week of occupation. in general, my small town experienced a real blood bath during germans. after germans got kicked, red army came took over, NKVD, also continued shooting locals accused of collaboration. I mean how the fk are you supposed to fight germans, when largest red army could not stop them. But it did not prevent NKVD still shoot some locals anyway. Also, as a kid we used to explore old building, that was occupied by ghestapo. in 1980s building was some sort of administration purpose. We got into the basement, and found some 20, 1ton aviation german bombs, still in the box. I immediatly recognized those. When I shows the older man. His face became pale, as he was shocked to see them. Those bombs if detonated would leave a giant crater. But i think those bombs had an intent to detonate when german retreated with scortched earth policy. for some reason they did not explode. Then, there ere two locations of mass shootings. One of them in town, the other one in the ravine next to town. Most jews were shot in the ravine. Captured red army solders were shot in town next to the children hospital. The energy is still bad there. A lot of deadly accidents. In 1990s there were mass gang fights, with iron rods, bricks, knives, etc. Still bad energy spot to this day. And all trees that grow there, are all crocked and twisted. If you dont believe in ghosts, you should visit that place. A lot of horror happened there.

I like to think that no war between the two would have occurred, but the Soviet Union was building massive amounts of tanks, planes and other weaponry for an eventual invasion of Europe (once Germany and Britain beat on each other some more), so Hitler wanted to be proactive rather than reactive, and attacked first. I think he should have built defenses all along Poland and waited to see if the invasion occurred, because at least his troops could have fought in better conditions, and the Soviets would have been invading into unfamiliar territory far away from their homeland, which is never a moral booster when they would be suffering huge losses once the Germans unleashed hell upon them.
