Fun fact, that August 5 1941 attack was Hitler's first attempt to encircle the Kiev pocket, but his generals not only didn't commit to it, but many actually opposed the idea.

[@lizzyregis]

At that point many high ranking German officers started realizing that the 'cauldron' tactics used to encircle so many Soviet divisions in Kiev, Brest-Litovsk, and Smolensk were actually slowing down German Infantry to the point where the encirclements weren't even worth it, sometimes German divisions would let the Soviets break out of their pockets to rejoin the frontlines simply because it was taking so much time to reorganize and continue their advance.

Joseph Stalin we don’t have to lose as many soldiers as we did, the Americans captured the first German city in WW2. The city of Aachen fell to the Americans and was the first German city to fall in WW2, mainly because the Americans used small groups of men clustered on the battlefield. Germans that fought in Aachen said it was the most unpredictable things the Americans did, that caught them off guard. Also if you look into it RAF and American bombers destroyed the majority of German factories, and industry and economy. Also note that T-34 tanks where actually built on American machinery, and factories built by American contractors brought in during the late 30’s by Stalin, not many people know that.

[@erichkaufmann5284]

Joseph Stalin We also used a lot of British Aircraft, also before we invaded Berlin we had the Americans bomb Berlin the night before. Certainly we did are part against the Germans, but we used everything we had while they still had men on the western front and in Africa Italy etc etc. The Germans lost millions and millions less men than we did, because their Generals where the greatest on earth, their pilots like Erich Hartmann shot down 352 Soviet aircraft alone and was the top ace. Also for every panzer lost, 70 T-34’s where lost. In a pure 1v1 Germany would have won, the Soviet Union depended on American money British aircraft and other American goods even top Soviet generals admitted to that in the 50’s after the war.

antred11 Finland was part of the Russian empire before 1917, so ussr did not “steal” anything. In 1917 Lenin signed finland’s “application” or declaration on independence and soviet russia acknowledged finland independency ( first country to do so). From 1917 till 1922 , during ww1 and ussr civil war at the weakest moment for the russian country, finland used the moment and was the aggressor , started a war and occupied lands of russia ( ussr) that had never been part of Finnish Duchy ( part of Russian empire) in belief of so called Great Finland by the finnish nationalists. In 1938 ussr had secret negotiations with finland, supposing that germany plans an attack on ussr, ussr suggested a pact with finland : in case nazis attack finland, that finland does not join the nazis and does not let the nazis onto finish territory while ussr supports finland to fight the nazis off. Finland refused the pact. Then ussr suggested an exchange: finland gives to ussr key territories for ussr border protection in exchange for karelia that Finland wanted. Finland refused again, even though there was no sense it that refusal. Finland refuses all other reasonable suggestions not to facilitate nazis attack on ussr. Finland left no choice to ussr. In 1939 Ussr had to move the borderline with this traitor country as far as possible before ww2. Finland was land-hungry, that’s all, and took the convenient side in ww2. They also were anti-Russian, since they always had territorial claims on russia/ussr. Finland wanted russian lands, this is why they sell themselves to nazis. Soviets did not commit any war crimes in Finland. Finland on the contrary took part in 1941-1942 leningrad blockade to starve people to death which is a war crime....

The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war." That is what Joseph Stalin said about American lend lease. Hell even Nikita Khrushchev confirmed that Stalin expressed those views. "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war, one-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me." According to an essay for RFE/RL's Russian service by Boris Sokolov "In a hypothetical battle one-on-one between the U.S.S.R and Germany, without the help of Lend-Lease and without the diversion of significant forces of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy and the diversion of more than one-quarter of its land forces in the fight against Britain and the United States, Stalin could hardly have beaten Hitler, it should be remembered that during World War I, the transportation crisis in Russia in 1916-17 that did a lot to facilitate the February Revolution [which lead to the abdication of the tsar] was caused by a shortage in the production of railway rails, engines, and freight cars because industrial production had been diverted to munitions," Sokolov wrote. "During World War II, only the supplies brought in by Lend-Lease prevented the paralysis of rail transport in the Soviet Union. In order to really assess the significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet victory, you only have to imagine how the Soviet Union would have had to fight if there had been no Lend-Lease aid," Sokolov wrote. "Without Lend-Lease, the Red Army would not have had about one-third of its ammunition, half of its aircraft, or half of its tanks. In addition, there would have been constant shortages of transportation and fuel. The railroads would have periodically come to a halt. And Soviet forces would have been much more poorly coordinated with a constant lack of radio equipment. And they would have been perpetually hungry without American canned meat and fats." Georgy Zhukov himself was even monitored by the KGB to have said "People say that the allies didn't help us. But it cannot be denied that the Americans sent us materiel without which we could not have formed our reserves or continued the war. The Americans provided vital explosives and gunpowder. And how much steel! Could we really have set up the production of our tanks without American steel? And now they are saying that we had plenty of everything on our own." Tldr; The real significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet war effort was that it covered the "sensitive points" of Soviet production gasoline, explosives, aluminum, nonferrous metals, radio communications, and so on. Under Lend-Lease, the United States provided more than one-third of all the explosives used by the Soviet Union during the war. The United States and the British Commonwealth provided 55 percent of all the aluminum the Soviet Union used during the war and more than 80 percent of the copper. It also sent aviation fuel equivalent to 57 percent of what the Soviet Union itself produced. Much of the American fuel was added to lower-grade Soviet fuel to produce the high-octane fuel needed by modern military aircraft. American aid also provided 4.5 million tons of food, 1.5 million blankets, and 15 million pairs of boots. It shipped 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks and 180 billion USD (In today's currency).

Fact is that this is *exactly* what happened in the Ukraine; Belarus and many other Soviet republics. At first the people believed they won their "freedom" from Stalin. Then they quickly learned that Stalin's police-state prison was better than the nazi extermination camps. They could play charades with Stalin and get spared. They could play no charades with the nazis who considered them "sub-human". You're speculating if Nazi Germany would offer those states "freedom" when this something that isn't even considered among the nazis. " bet Germany would love it. " No, because they are not fooling anybody with their ideology at this point (even Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy had serious qualms siding with it) and they're NOT into offering people they loathe any kind of bargain. The only country they offered some sort of fair deal were the British following the fall of France. For everybody else it was simply conveyed as "You do exactly as we say or else..." Historically this has *never* been a good way to convince other people you're their friend and ally. And Caucasus isn't a country. Neither is it populated by people the nazis consider "worthy".

I know this is a Russian saying this so some here doesn't mean anything but Khrushchev said: `I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were "discussing freely" among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war. No one ever discussed this subject officially, and I don't think Stalin left any written evidence of his opinion, but I will state here that several times in conversations with me he noted that these were the actual circumstances. He never made a special point of holding a conversation on the subject, but when we were engaged in some kind of relaxed conversation, going over international questions of the past and present, and when we would return to the subject of the path we had traveled during the war, that is what he said. When I listened to his remarks, I was fully in agreement with him, and today I am even more so.`

Yeah, in our timeline Germany had troops spread all over the place -- North Africa, France, all of Eastern Europe, etc. At the end of the war there were 400k German troops in Norway, for example. They were fighting in all directions. The naval war in the Atlantic was a massive expense of labor and materials. The Luftwaffe was spent in the skies over Britain and the allies enjoyed overwhelming air superiority. All major German cities were bombed into rubble. Her industry was utterly crippled and railways were destroyed, compounding logistical problems. The atlantic wall was an absolutely enormous project. They had no oil. And they had to contend with communist partisans and saboteurs in occupied territories. Yet they still put up an incredible fight. 1v1 with the soviets, the reds would have been crushed. Every tank, plane, bullet, man; all German industry, engineering, and military might directed at a single enemy, on a single front.... Plus they would have several million anti-communist volunteers from across Europe joining the war effort (in our timeline over 1.5 million volunteers). And any extra weaponry and material Germany couldn't produce themselves they could just get from trade. Honestly, soviets would not have stood a chance. It would still be a titanic struggle, but Germany would definitely have won.

They could have even gotten the atom bomb did they really care to do it.

One of the more important notes on operation Barbarossa in this scenario is that Stalin would had not been caught with his pants down as he did in our timeline - although both Hitler and Stalin knew the inevitable war between Germany and USSR was coming, Stalin didn't think Hitler would be crazy enough to invade while still battling Britain on the western front. In fact when British intelligence was trying to convince Stalin that Germany was planning the attack, Stalin shook those points off, being convinced that this was a ploy by British to engulf Soviets on the eastern front. If there was peace between Britain and Germany in this scenario, I'm curious what preparations Soviets would had made prior to Barbarossa.

Not a chance in hell of Russia winning against Germany. Although Germany suffered the majority of its casualties on the Eastern front they still dedicated a significant amount of troops, and resources to the west. If you add 50+ more divisions, an air force that would’ve been twice the size in the initial invasion, an unfathomable amount of tanks, factories not being bombed, more than enough oil for 10+ years of war, and unthreatened supply lines behind the front?! My god…how is this even a question?!?!

[@kindlingking]

Unfortunately, what you're describing is purely your imagination. Significant number of soviet troops were guarding eastern borders throughout the whole war. If we assume it's just Nazi Germany vs USSR, then any extra resources the former can gather would be met with reserves from far east. Also unfathomable number of tanks? What? Germans had already allocated most of their resources towards eastern campaign, where would those unfathomable reserves come from? From Hitler's ass? Your only real arguments are increased presence of Luftwaffe and undisturbed military industries. However even before starting to get kicked back german economy was on it's limit. It simply couldn't support large scale attritional war, which it why even in this scenario Germany would still ultimately lose, although it will likely take more time.

[@kaiserdb]

Those who believe this scenario's outcome would be no different than real life... are failing to consider some enormous differences between the two situations. - Germany does not have to devote a large portion of production to uboats --> increased German production - Germany is not being bombed from '42 on by Americans or British. --> increased German production, more available troops for the East, more available anti-air for the East, no skilled pilots lost fighting non-Soviet allies increases Luftwaffe capacity in the East. - Germany has a navy with nothing better to do than to attack/blockade Soviet ports, meaning that whether or not other allies aren't fighting, they can't trade with the USSR anyway. So on top of lack of material assistance from allies --> No USSR ability to acquire foreign goods, unless via Siberia. - It is not necessary for Germans to commit resources to the construction of the Atlantic Wall, nor to keep dozens of divisions in the West to respond counter any allied invasion --> more divisions in the East. - None of the fighting in Africa or Italy ever happens --> more divisions in the East. - USSR receives no intelligence assistance from British project Ultra --> increased Soviet fog of war. The sum of the differences in Germany's fighting and production abilities in the two scenarios is MASSIVE and could easily have tilted a 1v1 war in their favor, and I believe it would have: Germany would have a small boost in men and material at the start of Barbarossa, but the difference between scenario and reality grow over time: more men and machinery available to start with and the greater/faster ability to replenish. It's a double whammy - the scenario makes Germany stronger AND the USSR weaker. Even if the Soviets still win the Battle of Moscow, the battle of Stalingrad was very closely fought, and I believe the advantages described above would've changed the result of this battle -- and the consequences of this are huge. The Volga is a key artery for the Soviet Union and German control of the river around Stalingrad is a crippling change in situation. Then, once Stalingrad and the Volga fall, it is likely that Case Blue's other thrust, into the Caucasus, is a success as well. From there, German victory is only a matter of time. The best the Soviets can hope for at this point is a stalemate where the Ural mountains separate each side. But at this point, the Soviets are little more than a nuisance.

[@kaiserdb]

Additionally -- Without other fronts or opponents to worry about, there's no reason to assume that the Germans wait until June 22nd to start Barbarossa. Launching even two weeks sooner might have made the difference between victory and defeat in 1941, as mud-then-winter did about as much to slow German progress as the Red Army.

We were weak in all types of things, aircraft, ships, guns, but we wernt weak of men. Except we were useless in trying to defend the line. I have to admit that we didnt have any good planes to defeat the bf and the ME. If this would of happen I gotta say my country would dissolve and we will lose against the powerful germans. Thankfully that never happen😔🙂

i also dont think that the soviets would be able to produce nukes in 1951 in this timeline like the video says, because they would have to recover from the great patriotic war, and the second russian civil war. the soviets also were not that well lead either, because of the great purge. but if stalin didnt do the purge he wouldve been overthrown in 1937-1938, alot of people dont know this, but alot of the generals and soviet officials were secretly in touch with trotsky in mexico plotting to overthrow stalin. but imo he shouldve been overthrown, and if he had been overthrown if he didnt start the purge in the first place, i think the soviets wouldve done somewhat better in ww2 like they did in our timeline, because they wouldve been much better lead.

[@martinsayago9263]

@@SosaL432 your right. I don't t think we would be able to produce nukes bc we would have to recover the horribleness things Joseph stalin did to our precious country. Genocide, purges, forcing men into the army in order to push the germans away and if we refused we be executed. Mexico, was one of our friends. During the russian civil war the red army blocked few ports in our country. The bolsheviks did do this. The white army tried to stop the engaging blockades but the red army were already there with there weapons ready to fire. Mexico, helped us all. During our starvation from the communist party mexico sent food to the russian civilians and we shared to make no one die of starvation. I cant say but it would have been way better if the white army defeated the bolsheviks. Stalin knows what he had done, but hes always hiding it behind his fake nice smile on him. We didnt have guns such as the german ones. We had outdated ones, garbage scrap of tanks, and our ammunition was low. We did have enough planes but like I said they were scrap metal and poorly designed. Nazi germany had initial success trying to take 40% of our land, lend-lease helped us push them back which was known as the battle of stalingrad. We didnt surrender. The germans were literally a heartbeat away taking stalingrad but the plan was to kill the nazi generals and it worked. I'm very glad mexico sent food to us not to starve, and usa making the lend-lease act to have weapons to defeat the germans and push them away. So I'm glad we had some cover but the relation between russia and usa is not so warm today since the russian invasion of Ukraine 2022 had started. Hopefully we dont get to the gates of world war 3😔

@@martinsayago9263 also, i forgot to mention, in that timeline, i think the nazis would also want to puppet belarus, and the caucasian regions for sure since that was their goal.i also think that in that timeline the bolsheviks would start producing nukes in the 1960s, or the really late 1950s if theyre lucky. and you're right, the bolsheviks in ww2 had a massive but weak air force, and alot of guns, but outdated ones, they also lacked some of the technology. alot of people say in the comments of this video that the soviets would win, but they are dead wrong tbh, they forget that food is a vital resource for an army, they also forget that even though nazi germany didnt have as many weapons as the soviets did, their weapons were way better, with a more advanced, but not as big army.

[@martinsayago9263]

@@SosaL432 Ur 100% right. The nazis did want to puppet Belarus. Belarus was one of nazis most wanted countries. They wanted it bc they are a huge ally to russia. In volgograd, we have a museum and I saw this one document called the nazi manipulation. The article was written by a german solider who died of cancer. It started out when nazi germany saw the vital allies of russia. There main goal was to invade and capture all russian allies such as belarus, and some other Baltic states that were sympathetic to russia. In order to defeat russia easily, they had to capture all allies of russia so they could give out information. It also talked about the whole plan about capturing russia such as Ukraine and the others. Hitler wanted to puppet all vital allies of the soviet union to change and manipulate there ideological power. Nazi germany also wanted to kill many civilians during their manipulation. They did this to keep the russian guessing that there civilians are in chaos and they would be killed and russia will have there population low meaning they would have no other options but to surrender. This is a important document and that's why it's called the NAZI Manipulation. Actually, we did had a missile to be launched at germany. We created and built a copyrighted missile of germany called the V2 ballistic. If u search it up on google u would see that russia actually used it, but dont let that fool you, again we were super weak in supplies and we lacked many materials. We actually had some newer planes to fight against the luftwaffe such as the La-5 but we only had like around 300 bc we lacked so many so we had no other choice but used the old outdated planes to try and protect our nation but we failed bc we were so weak in everything and the germanys were literally a sword and we were paper they just sliced us up. Thankfully, germanys weakness was there logistics. Which we targetet. And thank god we built the t-34 just in time so we can match against the panzer and tiger tanks. We didnt really have bombers, our bombers were literally made from tiny pieces of metal. Literally, the anti aircraft guns literally shred all of our hardworking bombers and enormously destroyed our 2 year production of bombers in just 2 days. But the main key to survive and have some power is food. We didnt have much so we suffered of that to. If it wernt for the usa land lease, god knows who would have won but I gotta day nazi germany would have won. And if it was germany against the soviets alone I have to agree that nazi germany would destroy and crush us easily like a slice of cheesecake. Even though I'm russian, I have to agree that germany would of won if this chaos had fallen.

[@SosaL432]

@@martinsayago9263 and one more thing, if the Germans win in the siege of Moscow in this timeline or the battle of Moscow in real life, they also after not long would’ve taken Leningrad and Stalingrad since I think if they won the siege/battle of Moscow Stalin would have committed suicide in the Kremlin or at his home in the dacha. After that I think the bolsheviks might be forced to the peace table and set up a Siberian government, and the Germans would create a strong defensive line around urals, because they only really cared for west Russia.

I don't think there would have been a peace agreement between Russia and Germany. The Germans were within 30 miles of Moscow and Stalin was prepped to evacuate Moscow. I think that once Moscow was in the process of being encircled that Stalin would have fled and someone else, probably Kruchev, would have taken control surrendered to Germany. I do question his thoughts that Japan would not have attacked Pearl Harbor in this scenerio. They were not connected to the war in Europe. It was a totally different subject. America wasn't at war with Germany when Pearl Harbor was attacked so the Japanese had no reason to expect that they would be fighting anything but the entire US fleet. I can't connect the dots on how the war in Europe, which the US wasn't a part of at the time, had any bearing on Japans decision to attack Pearl Harbor. He did hit one thing right on the head. Hitlers true downfall was Churchills refusal to accept any peace agreement. And he was right. It hurt the UK more to continue the war than it would have to accept Hitlers peace plan. WWII would have never gotten to the point it had if it wasn't for Churchills stubborness to defeat Hitler at any cost. Hitler made 2 mistakes in my opinion that cost him the war. He didn't have to invade Russia when he did. He needed to get the war in the west over before he took on Russia. If Britain wasn't going to accept a peace agreement then he need to pour all his resources into that to either get them to the peace table or get them to surrender. He almost had the air war won when he backed off and he cancelled his plans for an invasion of Britain which may have forced Britain to the peace talks. If he wasn't so involved with Russia he could have had the resources to do that.

[@ankushraj9583]

He was short on oil that's why he had to attack Russia.

Maybe if he hadn't declared war on America, he could have ignored the lend-lease fact. The British alone could not have invaded Europe like D Day. Even if Britain received supplies, it was pretty much unable to open up another front on mainland Europe

[@mnpd3]

Not a particularly difficult question, considering that Germany had the military genius but limited resources and territory, while the militarily less-competent Soviets held vast territory and resources. In a rapid war of maneuver, the Germans would win. In a protracted conflict of attrition, the Soviets would prevail. Hitler played his cards spot on, until the 1941 invasion of the USSR. For Germany, the issue in the west with England was still unresolved in 1941, as well as North Africa. It was a time that Germany could ill-afford adding both the USSR and the USA to the enemies list. But, that's just what Hitler did, assuring the defeat of Germany 4-years before it actually happened, and leaving historians forever asking "why."

[@michaelwier1222]

[@AnthonySenpaikun]

It didn't matter how much tanks one could produce but how much oil and supply trucks has to supply and keep them running. Germany would win surely as they had more supply trucks than the soviets alone since the soviets would not have any lend lease support. Even if the soviets were able to achieve a breakthrough and push the Germans, they wouldn't even be able to push far enough and have to stop and wait. Giving the Germans more time to lick their wounds then pushing again for a counter attack. The lend lease also provided the rations needed for the soviets to focus on producing military equipment, maximizing their tank and arms production as the soviets lacked the rations needed alone, and would have to divert many of its labor force to agriculture to feed the already exhausted and starving nation since many of its farmlands have been taken which would only lead to more problems since they don't have enough fertile land to use.
