Brief excerpt from "War and Remembrance" featuring Barry Morse

[@antartis73]

Some series like this one should be played again on TV for the newer generations. To forget history means that we may repeat the mistakes of the past. What a great series, brilliant actors

[@toddandangelbrowning2920]

That’s why those who want to destroy history are so adamant. They want to repeat it.

[@edward1676]

[@kovesp1]

Played again? It is total rubbish. Hitler knew the war in the was lost in the begining of December 1941. He said so and it was recorded in the war diary of the OKW. According to some historians, it was the reason for the declaration of war on the US. He thought that an alliance of "Judeo-Bolsheviks" and "Judeo-Plutocrats" would inevitably tear itself apart allowing a National Socialist Germany to survive. The NS leadership actually thought that was going to happen when FDR died ... another miracle of the House of Brandenburg and Frederick the Great. That Halder contradicted Hitler and so was dismissed by the end of September is accurate. But the Germans having reliable intelligence on Soviet troop concentrations that Hitler dismisses is not ... that's all hindsight.

[@internetstrangerstrangerofweb]

This show is unfortunately heavily misconstrued by the perspective of Halder. He was a professional ass kisser, fool of the general staff and when he was finally dismissed, he attempted to cover his ass by blaming everything on Hitler and everyone except for him.

The reality about warfare is having experience on the battlefield is one thing, but being able to be an exceptional operations officer is another; getting the right men and gear in the right place at the right time requires someone with organizational skills that are different from having combat experience. One of Napoleon's Marshals, Berthier was not known for his leadership on the battlefield but his abilities as a staff officer. He died - possibly assassinated by being pushed out a window - before the battle of Waterloo. His absence from Napoleon's staff made a huge difference on how that battle was fought and lost. Ironically, Eisenhower, who was left out of combat service in his career, was best known for his logistical and diplomatic skills. (Keep in mind in the military sends people where they need to be not where they want to be and that was the case with General Eisenhower.) His abilities trounced the Germans in the Western theater.

[@rosesprog1722]

Indeed, managing people like Churchill and Montgomery who, from a sense of superb military instinct and condescending rabid nationalism were constantly trying to tell everyone else what to do and acting like oiffended virgins when their idea was not adopted as the main plan of action definitely took a form of patience, tolerance and parental authority very few people are gifted with, I for one would no doubt have ended on death row for the vicious and extremely enjoyable assassinationm of two intolerable members of the British high command so yes, Ike had no combat experience but what he had, we all needed...

Nevertheless only for the totalitarian nature of the USSR he would have achieved victory. Thank goodness he did not!

In other words and according to the Man himself and Gens. Jodl and Keitel, for them, it was a do or die situation, Hitler may have made his biggest mistake and lost the war right there by invading the country that had more and better tanks than all the other nations combined, thinking his 750,000 horses would somehow give him the necessary speed and operatiomnal mobility required to crush the new kids on the block before the first US shipments of porridge and warm socks made it to the nearest empty stomachs and cold feet. Of course when the Yanks once again joined in after the Wehrmacht's best years were well behind her, hiding behind the door of hypocrisy for Uncle Joe to say go thus creating the dreaded sixth or seventh front the generals were so afraid of, all hopes of anything had pretty much vanished and all that was left to do was to marry someone and as the ultimate token of love, kill yourself as fast as possible...

@@stevensenator4804 Hitler's original plan was to drive south, into the Oil fields, and resource rich south of the USSR, which was why Kiev was such an important objective. Stalin knew this too, and hence, the encirclement. Halder, wanted to drive to Moscow, and began siphoning resources from the south, to go for Moscow. The hold order in the winter of 1941-42 that Halder is raving about literally saved the German Army. They were exhausted, at the limit of their supply chain, and ravaged by Russian seasonal rains in the fall and winter, which made logistics a nightmare. The distance from Warsaw to Moscow is about the entire length of France to put it in perspective. Hitler was an idiot, and a cunt, but the Generals such as Halder and Paulus made decisions too that crippled the German war effort, such as Operation Citadel (Kursk). Hitler made some bad decisions such as His decision to not station panzer divisions closer to the French coast. He however, did make good decisions such as the Stop Orders both in France at Dunkirk in 1940, and again in the winter of 1941-42 in Russia.

[@grumblesa10]

Somewhat accurate, but in actuality Hitler was not initially interested in Stalingrad, and even made a speech referencing that very point. The Germans had reached to Volga to the north and were in a position to interdict supplies from the Caucasus. AFA the argument, probably not Halder, but someone like Manstein or Guderian would be making those points. Halder was not a total lackey, like Keitel but he was a committed Nazi.

I know some here have said how great this part was, but it isn't the most historically accurate. For one, its putting all the blame on Hitler, were by, the generals were just as much to blame has he was, in many things. Just as an example, Hitler actually know that the flanks were vulnerable, and had ordered, IIRR, 3 divisions from the west, but it was one of those things of to little to late. Though they did arrive, IIRR, in time to help stabilize the line. The allocation of replacements/reinforcements; if you look at the actual numbers, you'd find that the troops at and around Stalingrad received VERY little, while the other armies got the most. By the time of the Soviet offensive, many of the German units were literally skeletons of their former selves. If they had been properly reinforced, I'd say they would have had a good chance of taking the city. And these same generals, didn't think that there would be a counter attack. In the end, many of these generals tried to rewrite history to put themselves in a better light, and put all the blame/mistakes on Hitler, were in several cases, it was them who made them. Just so we are clear, Hitler was a monster of the highest order, and he got off easy IMO. But he wasn't stupid, but was also not always right. I'm a big history fan, the right history, so that means assigning blame to the right people. Hitler deserves a lot of the blame for the things that happen during WW2, but let's not assign blame to him that actually wasn't his fault/things he didn't do.

He was arrested and eventually imprisoned as a VIP in Dachau along with his wife. In April, 1945 he was released and transported to American authorities where he was arrested for war crimes. He was later acquitted and began assisting the Americans with documenting the conflict on the Eastern front. His diary was discovered in which his authorship of the notorious Commissar Order was found. A request was made to re-try him, but the Americans objected, apparently because the information he was providing about the Soviets was deemed more valuable. And thus, a de facto war criminal, got away with murder.

I like the old school. They had integrity. If I were he, I might have said: "If you want to advance, with all due respect, you can do so by yourself, without me, and without my men." I mean, sure, it could be considered treason. But the cause is lost anyway. A leader who doesn't care for the lives of those who serve under him doesn't deserve the loyalty of the men who serve under him. I'd just resign, and if Hitler wants to do away with me, he can very much do it. I obey my conscience more than the whims of an autocrat with delusions of grandeur. At least, right here and now, this is my position, and I hope, when tested in the heat of the moment, I would not waver in my convictions.

Adolf Hitler, the greatest secret weapon the Allies had during WWII.

This is WWII but for some strange reason it's almost like President Putin and Ukraine...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC

The first order of business should have been to head straight for the oil fields.

[@kennethkestner1505]

Moscow was the transportation hub and Leningrad the intake port for Russia. Any 3 were equally important.

[@arekofpoland8735]

The only question is how and when ?

[@firasajoury7813]

How ?

[@joemiller9931]

Stalingrad was a vital transport hub for materials and troops.

[@rc59191]

Taking the oil fields is one thing defending them is a whole other.

Hard to see anyone play Hitler, after they cast Hitler himself in Downfall.

I have been there in Vinnitsa... should have a look at the swimming pool you can see people were executed in there...

It turned out, America was not one big bluff.

The guy playing Hitler is scary man ….

[@carminemurray6624]

And not very much like the actual Adolf Hitler. Watch Adolph Hitler giving a speech and you will see there is very little resemblance between the two.

[@stevesmith8484]

No heavy bomber, too many tank designs and varients, outdated fighter aircraft by 1942 and bad tactics. They were never close.

[@jeffclark7888]

A completely inaccurate, absurd scene.

[@joemiller9931]

Halder did challenge the Fuhrer, and some of the dialogue is accurate, but the rest of it is pure Hollywood. If you are going to make a history or war movie, at least make it accurate.

Halder argues with Hilter. What a stupid scene!!!

[@shannonrhett3304]

🧐

[@mikered1974]

It actually happen Halder may be as Guilty as Every War Criminals but his Sensible Military Officers who wants no interprence from Civillian leadership in War Planning his also not a Big Fan of Corporal Hitler in Leading the War Effort Planning Just look what happen too South Vietnam when South Vietnamese President Theiu order a Stupid War Plan that led too the Collapse of ARVN & South Vietnam aswell to Chiang kai-shek no -retreat plan that led too the loss of Mainland China too Communist Forces .

[@andrzejadamowicz3753]

@@mikered1974 There is a point to what you say, however it has little to what I meant. I strongly disagree with Halder's objections. I fact I don't think they happened at all. All accounts of that are coming from Halder himself and he was caught lying on numerous occasions. In defence of film creators I must say that they could not know that in 1980's. Example of Halder's lies could be find in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH2VYX9ph61_bpo You can also check Wikipedia: "France Halder" section "Myth of the clean Wehrmacht" If you interested I can search for you some better sources on the topic. Halder was decent commander until fall of France. After that he made an ass of himself, which is sad as he was an intelligent, skilled man.

[@mikered1974]

@@andrzejadamowicz3753 ahhh....i don't say that Halder is a Clean German General & also that heated Conversation actuall happen because the General Staff of Germany know they Fuck-up by that Moment & nobody is raising the Elephant in the Room so Halder took the initiative because he wanted still to salvage the Campaign but Hitler wanted too hold the city that was been named from Stalin which is in Danger to be Encircled & Destroyed this converstion is backed & Colaborate by other Generals & officers and also records of some Unauthorized Withdrawal I THINK YOU ARE THE NEED TO STUDY MORE IN THIS LITTLE DEFIANCE TO HITLER BY FEW GERMAN GENERAL IS ACTUALLY HAPPENS I REPEAT AGAIN SHOWED SOME " LITTLE & FEW INSTANCES OF DEFIANCE " but still Halder & other German Generals is Guilty of Command Responsibilty and The Losses in Battle they commanded in Blind believe that they Had a Chance too win i cannot blame Them because they led some succesfull counter-attact that gain little in long run of German War effort.

[@andrzejadamowicz3753]

@@mikered1974 I'm under impression you did not check little sources I provided or I did not explain myself clearly enough. Scene from the series "War and Remembrance" is stupid because Halder did not stand up to Hilter in that manner in that time. Mistakes he mentions are of his design. Catastrophic supply situation of 6th army was his fault just as lack of proper reinforcement. In that case all Adolf had to do is ask Halder why he hadn't done anything about all the shortcomings and fire him (which he eventually did). I hope that's clear now for you. Thanks for being civil in your comments. Many people immediately start swearing and cursing.

[@HerrKurt]

It's farfetched story

[@metal87power]

Lame, hysterical more than historical. Hitler didn't talk like that normally. Exept self-taught public speeches. Hitler wasn't incompetent leader and general not always were right.

[@alexfromboston8303]

Halder was a traditionalist no denying that and he bungled the planning of Barbarossa by foolishly making Moscow the primary objective but this is accurate in its history of Case Blau which was undone by Hitler's meddling and his overly ambitious objectives. It may be a bit histrionic but it's historically accurate.

[@johnpatrick6998]

Haider sounds like Count Dracula. 😂

[@dhall5785]

It came down to a combination of being out manufactured by the US and Russia, overstretched supply lines and too many fronts to juggle. Lack of natural resources in key areas, having to rely on poor quality and half hearted allies. Over engineering and lack of common munitions standards and parts. The war was lost when they invaded Russia. And an underestimation of Britain and the resolve of its imperial constituents. Invading Russia whilst still grappling with the British Empire and an unresolved question over continued US neutrality was a singular act of hubris and a failure to learn the lessons of history.
