[@AWtify]

@@vontai4553 Given that most uneducated Westerners believe that it is always winter in Russia, it is strange that they always invade Russia in summer uniforms. There can only be one explanation: the Western general staffs are more aware of the geography and expected to occupy Russia during the summer months. If this did not work, then there is only one explanation: the heroic resistance of the Russians and the heavy losses of the occupiers.

[@MagiconIce]

Yeah, but the Russians were (and still are) used to it. Russia has in Winter a way harsher climate (just like most of Eastern Europe) than Central Europe. So they knew, if not exactly by date by season, what's going to come.

[@MagiconIce]

@@AWtify Allegedly, Hitler said, that wars are not decided by the weathers, when he ignored the warnings of his generals before Barbarossa, that the troops should bring their winter gear, since that would've meant extra logistical strain and would've slowed the advance into the Soviet Union. If he would've listened to his generals arguing for an early push towards Moscow, he maybe even would've been right in this case. But that is a "What if"-scenario, nothing less, maybe the Germans would've cut off Moscow and besieged it, maybe it would've entered a guerilla warfare state with Red Army Units entrenching in the metro and fighting the Germans from there. And maybe the Reserves from the East then would've committed to a counter attack in Winter freeing the capital city of the USSR and still pushing back the Germans. In the real history, that took place, Hitler slowed it down and so Weather became the deciding factor. And imho the General Staff could've known this and Hitler too, since Napoleon, relatively spoken, fared worse about 130 years earlier, due to similar tactics the Russians employed back then, scorched Earth, retreat into the wide land, let the Enemy overextend and then strike back hard in Winter.

[@m24213]

Just one thing I would like to point out, it's not that submission was never in Stalin's vocabulary, during the initial phase of Operation Barbarossa, loads of Ukrainians welcomed germans as they were fed up with Stalin. Germans rewarded them by mass killings of Ukrainians and other Slavs that were captured. Once the Soviets realized this, they choose to fight until the last man, if every last man had died, then every last woman would have picked up the gun. When you realize that the occupying force is not interested in winning the war, but trying to exterminate you and your people, the human zeal to survive kicks in and will make you fight till your last breath.

I just wanted to say (since the video was a ambiguous and seemed to imply that it was) that Hitler’s decision to secure the flanks isn’t considered a bad decision. It’s a common trope to say Hitler constantly disregards his generals to make stupid decisions, but it’s not really that simple. Both he and his generals made mistakes. Bread and coal, in the Ukraine and Caucuses, were critical to Germany and it was strategically vital for Hitler to gain access to them. Not to mention that if the Germans had advanced straight to Moscow they would have faced a stronger enemy in an even more vulnerable position than they did in reality.

Sometimes suicidal attacks like kamikaze. In fact, kamikaze were copied from the USSR. But not supply was key. But the Far Eastern divisions of light tanks and special forces. Gained experience of the war in China and Mongolia. Japan did not attack the USSR; Sorge informed Japan in time about his plans for Moscow.

@@Roketsune it's best to think of the digraphs as single letters, because that is what they are. "Zh" is the representation used for the letter "ж". Zhukov -> [Zh] [u] [k] [o] [v] -> [Ж] [у] [к] [о] [в] -> Жуков

The half part of how the Soviet forced won is because Stalin called in troops from Siberia, which were highly more trained and better in winter if you compare it to German and Soviet troops.

[@jamesricker3997]

German troops were not exactly equipped for the winter. Their logistics sucked and the lubricant they use on their engines and guns froze solid in below zero temperatures

Actually Moscow was in the end defended by the ENTIRE NATION, defenders came from everywhere. Siberians were not the greatest part.

PewPewPlasmagun if you take a look into documentaries, Siberian troops were more trained in winter and could deal with the Germans since they had no proper training or equipment to deal in the snow, and by entire nation I hope you just mean the western part of the country becuase the eastern side were more scared and focused on a Japanese invasion. And just didn’t care.

It's actually a common myth. The "Siberian" divisions were only a small part of the troops defending Moscow. For example, on the Tula direction there were not a single Siberian formation.

[@Rkucins]

For the sake of accuracy, the "Rasputsitsia" or "General Cold" have equally affected both sides tactics wise. It is just Russian knew a bit better how to survive in these conditions. Nevertheless, the actual fighting was impeded for both sides. Even the argument about Wehrmacht being ill-equipped for fighting in cold weather conditions (aircraft fuel freezing just at -18C, weapons lubricant were not suitable for cold weather) leaving the lack of winter equipment are easily matched by the physical lack of military hardware Soviets were suffering from due to loss of the manufacturing base/factories being in the middle of relocation. Let's not forget the land lease convoys just started to arrive.

Winter is cheating!!!

[@Centurion101B3C]

Yes and NO. Yes, the Soviets got the same amount of winter, cold and misery as the Germans, but..... 1. The Soviets had better suited uniforms and fighting gear suited for the weather conditions.(Tested and proven by Battlefield Detectives). 2. The Soviets were more mechanized than the Germans and did not have to rely on horse drawn wagons or bother to feed or care for the thereto required horses. 3. The Soviet military verhicles were FAR better suited for (basically non-existing) infrastructure. 4. Soviet fuel was better formulated to deal with winer conditions that would turn German Diesel fuel into useless butter. 5. Soviet lubricants for weapons were either better suited to conditions (or non-existent, which is fine as well for a while.). German weapons froze and stalled on the used grease and cold solidified oils. 5. The Soviets were used to the local conditions and were better preconditioned for generic deprivation and maltreatment. In short, They were tougher, meaner and like honey-badgers. 6. The Germans collectively suffered from moerate to severe withdrawal sysmptoms because they had run out of meth ("Panzerschokolade" Pervitin) that had kept them 'hopping high' ever since 1939. As one might be aware of: "Wizz" and normal Winter are already a really bad combination so when Russian Winter hit....need I say more??

Operation Redbeard, it would have been interesting to what would have happenee had they captured Moscow. Some historians say it would lead to victory, others state it would make no difference. Some Russians alive back then say it would collapsed the country and I know Glantz doesnt buy that. After 6 months of defeat after defeat, losing the capital may have perhaps seen Stalin's downfall from a general or someone along those lines. Many who hated living under Stalin may have seen it as a chance to dispose of him. I'm speculating here now. All railroads did go through Moscow so having the city cripples others parts of the country and gives the Russians a much harder time logisticaly. Such an epic battle of total destruction. Massive in scope and brutality

Stalin: Submission? ah yes, a french delicacy

[@red_amoguss]

While the Germans were well-armed and numerically superior, the Soviets had several advantages in the Battle of Moscow that secured their victory; the most prominent of these can be summed up as home-field advantage: shorter supply and communication lines, more plentiful manpower reserves to draw from for the purposes of fighting and setting up defenses as well as the added morale benefit associated with fighting for your homeland. The Soviets took much heavier losses throughout the invasion, especially in the beginning, but they could replace those losses more easily than the Germans could. The long and ineffective supply lines of German forces just couldn’t support the logistical demands of their massive armies and their effectiveness suffered greatly as a result. Additionally, although its role has been over exaggerated in modern times, the weather was undoubtedly on the Soviet side, with the rasputitsa bogging down the Germans until the brutal winter set in, which the Soviets were far better prepared for. It’s certainly an exaggeration to claim that winning the Battle of Moscow would have meant a German victory on the Eastern Front. It may have increased their chances, but even if they had seized the capital, they would have still needed to solve their logistical problems that had been plaguing them since the start of the campaign. The only way that Operation Barbarossa could have ever truly succeeded was if the USSR and its inhabitants had chosen to submit, but any student of history will know, that submission was never a word in Stalin’s vocabulary.
