[@IAmDonut_]

Excerpt from *_The Men of Kiev_* by _Iam Donut_ "After nearly a year of war on the Eastern Front, the Germans looked farther from victory than when the war had started. Soviet Tank and infantry divisions had been able to hold the Axis from pushing too far into Soviet territory and had even started pushing German divisions back towards Berlin, though this defense cost millions of Red Army lives. However, in late 1944, everything would change as the Axis initiated _Operation Goldene Niederlage_ . This plan called for a counter-attack across the entire front supported by a large number of tank divisions, and an overwhelming amount of air support, suddenly under the command of competent generals. However, the plan hinged on a hard push in the south to completely demolish the Soviet Southern Army. As German, Italian, Romanian, Hungarian, and Bulgarian divisions started to suddenly attack the Soviet frontlines, Soviet units were quickly surrounded and destroyed as they became pinned down and unable to move or retreat from their positions due to the unending supply of bombs, rockets, and gunfire raining down from enemy CAS above. One particularly important encirclement early in the operation formed when Axis troops managed to trap thousands of Soviet troops inside the Khmelnytskyi Pocket. This pocket contained most of the remaining Soviet armored forces in the South and represented the beginnings of the near-collapse of the Southern Army as Axis forces continued to push on. Soon after the troops within the Khmelnytskyi Pocket either surrendered or died, Axis troops came within sight of the city of Kiev. Thousands of men on both sides of the war would fight in this Ukranian city, and many of these young men wouldn't see the end of the war. However, those who did would never forget the fortitude, courage, and bravery of the soldiers who fought there, and would never forget the utterly depraved, horrific, vile, and evil things they had to do to survive. From what I learned talking to the men who fought there, nobody ever really leaves Kiev, no matter how far they try to get."

The legendary siege of Kiev ended little before a full year but their resistance similar to the Polish Warsaw uprising is what gave the soviets hope to push through and defeat the axis threat once and for all EDIT: I made a standalone version of this story so go check it out further in the comments section.

There needs to be an entire Sabaton song about those boys in Kiev man. Like a mix of Panzerkampf, Fields of Verdun, and Coat of Arms.

[@fraserking4747]

Some new Boys in Kiev could come in real clutch right about now.

[@sticktheok]

yep

[@17builder81]

Update: Boys in Kiev prove themself once again

[@PhantomsOwn]

Literally just the soviet meltdown circa 1941-1943

[@SciRuler]

This, the 20 million Soviet Casulties, Western Ally original incompetence, Japan being a monster. Only inaccuracies are nuking of Europe, sucessful Sealion, Japan actually taking China AND India. These usually happen sometimes in Hoi4 mp though, and just makes the Soviets more of a beast.

The bois in Kiev made it - How historical nowadays(feb/mar 2022 UKR/RUS war) that Kiev is again holding to the last man with whatever weapon they can get their hands on and no retreat no matter how bad the odds seem to be.

This was one of the best bokoen’s video I’ve ever watched lol I just imagine the boys of Kiev and the boys of riga just start minecrafting their own weapons *reference to your other video*

[@6dchessmaster712]

Fun fact: If you type '227' into Hoi4 game chat, the Soviet player gains an event that prevents his soldiers from retreating, they will all legit get overrun and it's hilarious.

[@flaviocubas2003]

Probably the most courageous thing I've ever seen Those Kiev, Riga and Gomel Boys are heroes.

Boys in Kiev reminded me about my 10 divisions in Budapest. They were defending my capital for more then 2 years and they were last divisions i had. I needed to wait for Poland to get to me and to Berlin to liberate me.

[@themakebelieverproductions6342]

I recently had... correction I am still playing it, and its been a year and a half and I have 10 tank division, and about 16 infantry divisions defending Warsaw from a joint German-British attacking force. I am playing as Democratic poland and I joined the 4th International with the soviets and now Warsaw is surrounded and so is my entire army, but I still haven't capitulated and I am building Nukes while having about 100 divisions in Warsaw and Eastern Poland combined. I managed to inflict 3.6 Million deaths to the Germans out of their 4.09 million deaths. And i only lost 900k troops, so have at it.

Kiev The old capital of the Kievan Rus, the administrative center of the Ukranian SSR, and the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War. After a terrible start, the Axis flipped the table and tore through the Soviet lines like a knife through butter. Entire army groups were cut off and massacred by enemy troops while many more were routed in terror, their good position in the initial fighting making them complacent. As the foe approached Kiev, five divisions remained to defend this city, the thirty-third, five fifty-seventh, ninety-sixth, one fifteenth, and two eighty-fourth, with two score companies from more cowardly units staying as well. Nearly 1.25 million forces from both sides died in the streets of Kiev. Some died from guns, others to knives, debris, or starvation. Prisoners were hardly ever taken by the mid-point of the siege, with the city rapidly collapsing around Axis troops and partisans. By the end of 1945, Soviet reinforcements finally arrived, from Gomel. As their pocket inevitably collapsed, thousands of Gomel troops hid in boxes, boats, and anything buoyant as they floated down the river to Kiev. With them cane fresh guns, ammo, and supplies, some even being from Allied countries, such as the US, UK, and even Australia. By April of 1946, Soviet forces under Georgy Zhukov would finally retake the eastern shores of the Dnieper and would rapidly charge across every bridge available and on boats to save the city. The Axis forces, with the line on all fronts rapdily collapsing, cut their losses and fled with everything they could. Of the original 670k Soviet troops at the start, 137k remained, less than a quarter, with nearly 84% of the entire civilian populace having died with them. These men had originally called themselves the Boys of Kiev, but now barely any of them were without some sort of wound or story to tell, with not a single one of the original commanding officers among them, and the highest ranking officer being a lieutenant colonel that was missing his left arm, right foot, right ear, and two fingers on his right hand, his body covered in a tapestry of scars. Zhukov would immediately send a communique to Stalin, saying that Kiev had been a steel bastion, one that would need to be remembered across the entire Soviet Union. Stalin, seeing the boost this could bring to the Soviet Union's morale, agreed. Engineers and architects would be called for by Stalin from across the Soviet Union and every Soviet sector of the Ukraine. By war's end, nearly two-thirds of all the rubble was cleared, with settlers coming by the thousands to repopulate the city, with what few remained of the original citizens being moved into what would be known as the Martyr's Quarter, a sector with relatively clean and affordable homes and parks, so the locals could find peace after their year and a half of suffering. As for the Boys of Kiev, they would become the Kievan Phantoms, placed under Zhukov's personal command, given gray uniforms and top of the line gear from all Allied and Soviet sources, and would be used as urban warfare specialists. Some could take out entire Axis sentry teams by themselves, with snipers being able to hit an SS officer in the eye from nearly a kilometer away, and sappers who could see traps when even other trained sappers couldn't. One of them, First Sergeant Yuri Glashovicer, a 20 year old Kievan Phantom, would raise the Soviet sickle and hammer over the Reichstag on May 23, 1948, he was only 16 when the Siege had begun and had joined up with some of the original soldiers soon after, it is unknown if any of his original family ever survived. After the war the Phantoms were transferred to Moscow, living in an entirely private section of the city near a forest, serving as an Honour Guard and elite guardians of the city. Many would find wives and get married here, their children being known as the Kievan Heirs, all seen as part of a prestigious group with veterans as their fathers, many of their sons would join the Army and serve in the Phantoms themselves. When Glashovicer was interviewed in 1957 by western writers, he would say, "I don't care what they say about this whole "Cold War" whether the Communist East or Capitalist West is in the right, we all bled together in the War. Brothers and brothers standing back to back against tyranny and the destruction of their people. Many of us Phantoms will say that if you interview more than me, many of us have nothing but respect for the Americans and British that gave us valuable supplies. Because of them, we survived, we give them eternal thanks from the bottom of our hearts." -Synopsis of "The Steel Boys of Kiev: Phantoms of the Bastion."

[@Plazmatothemax]

every thousand casualties is a dollar...someone keeps track of who's donating what at the end of the war.

Fun fact about Kirill Meretskov, he has earned the Hero of the Soviet Union medal and had played in many different areas of WWII (such as Finland, Leningrad, even leading troops in the Soviet's invasion of Manchuria).
