Horrible Histories -Stalingrad-HD 1080p

[@TEHORANGEAVENGER]

I wouldn't imagine someone who's been in Stalingrad for 6 months would be morally opposed to taking things from the dead. They're not using it anymore.

[@knives4cash]

It's to show the children that it's morally wrong.

[@Assassinus2]

Perhaps Leutnant Gottlieb has a pair of boots he could spare.

[@Slemoster]

knives4cash Morally wrong to refuse to make sacrifices in survival situations?

[@knives4cash]

Morally wrong to defile the dead. Growing up, we are taught to respect the deceased. And a human being should NEVER have to tear the clothes off a dead body to survive. Yes, this sketch is far from accurate. But it's for the children. They don't need to know what Stalingrad was really like, not until they're older.

[@KilroyWas_Here]

@@knives4cash well I can't think of a time were children need to be reminded of that.

[@generalhorse493]

this 3 minute clip was a more faithful representation of the most awful battle in human history than the entirety of enemy at the gates

[@machtrebel]

Awful film.

[@generalhorse493]

indeed, that stupid love triangle can go suck all the 1 million dead russian troops' dicks

[@theannoyinghistorian1812]

Awful film is not harsh enough.

[@lightsaberlordp373]

1:39 He sounds like a shy, timid horse 😂😂

[@carlbirtles4518]

2:09 With people panic-buying, you can't be as picky as that German soldier.

[@swancman]

Got bored and started looking for funny historical educational videos and found this show. I didn't know this show was real! I just might use some of these in my classroom!!!

[@MrSnake551]

Ohhhh man do your kids will love these I grew up on these and they are definitely the reason I'm hyperfocus on history now

[@Smoothbluehero]

Imagine the cold, dark, violent blizzards of the frozen tundra of Russia vs. the warm waters, white sandy beaches and amorous breezes of Brazil.

[@howardlanus8467]

Historical fact: that meat paste was brought in to deal with food shortages, but after living on starvation rations for so long the sudden increase in calories caused refeeding syndrome, where your body tries to quickly transition from fat to carbohydrate metabolism, abruptly depleting the body's concentrations of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate, rapidly disrupting ATP production in red blood cells and compromising the blood's ability to store and transport oxygen.

[@carlbirtles4518]

The quartermaster in this sketch said the officer, Lt. Gottlieb, vomited and got diarrhoea. 1:53

[@KristianCramer]

Aaah i found a continuation error!.. When he puts on his helmet, it's the right way, then it's the wrong way and then it's the right way again

[@flyingace1234]

I KNOW RIGHT? Once you see it you cant unsee it!

[@Independentfellow]

picky, picky, Goldilocks soldier "This one is from a dead woman, this food kills when eaten, these boots have legs in them."

[@carlbirtles4518]

The QM didn't say the lieutenant was dead, he just said the meat paste gave the lieutenant diarrhea and made the lieutenant vomit.

[@unclejay1000]

3:30 Another serious training mistake was later revealed; the Soviets used their own diesel-engine tanks to train the dogs rather than German tanks which had gasoline engines. As the dogs relied on their acute sense of smell, the dogs sought out familiar Soviet tanks instead of strange-smelling German tanks

[@bekzods_travels]

the fact that the seller had more clothes than the soldier....

[@verilyheld]

Actually, after the surrender of the Sixth Army there were a fair bit of German supplies found, quartermasters had been holding those back 'for emergencies."

[@gchimmel]

2:25 I was expecting them to say on the beaches of Normandy

[@Lieblingsfachful]

Just wondering if I am the only person who noticed he puts on the helmet right then in the next scene he has it on backwards, then as he opens the door it's on the right way again?

[@RibbonVintageGirl]

"I had goosepimples on my goosepimples"

[@carlbirtles4518]

And he freaks out after being offered a fur coat 'donated' by a woman in Berlin!

[@AlexDeLarge90]

@Lieblingsfachful Considering the brutality and the horrors the Soviets had experienced under the nazi invasion it's hardly surprising they were brutal back. It was their way of saying:"Two can play that game". Since the Soviet Union was devastated beyond belief it's no wonder the Soviets were keen to wreck the lives of those who had invaded their country. Not defending their brutality, merely saying they had been taught that by those who invaded them.

[@MsgtRowan420497]

Lol I like how he puts his helmet on backwards when leaving.

[@legotaku_yt1108]

This aged like fine wine!

How ?

[@Padwarner4452]

Ohh wait I know what you mean

[@Padwarner4452]

Ohh wait I know what you mean

[@Lieblingsfachful]

I think a bigger reason for the defeat was that fact that he moved his entire Panzer Crops attached to the army group to the Caucasus to capture the oil. I think had Army Group B been better equipped with armor, the encirclement may never have happened, and if it did, the extra armor would have allowed Manstein to have broken through to Paulus and allowed him a retreat. Largely speaking, Stalingrad was of no real real importance, and so not attacking the city all-together might have been better.

[@Theredsunrising]

His helmet switches back to front like twice

[@CalumJMorrison]

Soldier: Ohhhhh that's better, and it's not from a dead man right? Supplier: No it is from a dead woman. Soldier: Nyehehehehehe! Lol

[@alekzander2010]

Some of my relatives also died fighting there. I am quite butthurt over the fact that you only knew about Stalingrad thanks to COD...

[@Assassinus2]

@dewinthemorning The bomb was detonated using a tilting trigger which would be tripped when the dog crawled under the tank, not via remote control. Given the general availability of radios in the Soviet military, a remote control might not have been a good idea. Though the tilt-trigger may not be a good idea if Comrade Strelka decides it's scary out there and decides to jump into your trench...

[@emppumamma]

I find it rather silly to see how cold it apparently was, when Stalingrad is situated so low on the map. Or at least for my head it is, since hey, Finland is far more up north and it's pretty warm even in here.

[@Princess_Cheese]

Late reply but the Germans invaded in June and the battle lasted until the winter. Neither places are tropical so winters are obviously very cold

[@jazzzyy13]

Did they not see that coming, with the dogs and the tanks? MASSIVE OH DEAR MOMENT.

[@urmo345]

@gradgurl2007 indeed, he was a corporal, never been even in military academy. His self confidence was MUCH bigger than his real experience and knowledge.

[@Lieblingsfachful]

@Napoleontas It was also the winter war the Russians fought against the Finns the previous year before Barbarossa that showed their woefully under-matched army. All the officer purges by Stalin helped contribute to this.

[@crunchy_kvass]

And in every single other Call of Duty...

[@vectorbrony3473]

They always said advancement in the German Army was by dead man's boots. lol

[@RibbonVintageGirl]

1:39 you gotta love Jim XD

[@johnk421]

"only this rather suspiciously named meat paste" lol

[@Axelhere333]

I like more the Swedish anti submarine tactic they had, they trained seals with bombs on them to swim close to the submarine so that the bomb that had magnets on it would flight of and get stuck on the submarine and the seal would swim back home to get a new bomb

[@stargirlsusan]

what's wrong with the dead woman's coat? i understand the boots but the coat did't had the woman's body in it now did it?

[@aremegoso]

I'm sorry to hear that dude but cheer up I'm sure they are in peace after the war.

[@aremegoso]

Stalingrad was one of the missions in call of duty classic.

[@obscuritiez]

And all Hetalian's got feels for Russia ...

[@missbexiee]

Always.

[@p.v.tchernov2215]

You said my name?

[@TheJengshoun2]

1:38 always makes me laugh

[@Assassinus2]

@rbh1138 I'd read that a big part of the problem was that Soviet tanks generally burned diesel, while German tanks burned gasoline. The two smell rather different. Of course, one way around this is to just deploy mine dogs and no tanks. Given the state of the Soviet armored force in late '41, this probably wasn't much of a problem... "Comrade Colonel, we have lost 100% of our tanks." "What, both of them?"

[@LGConsor]

"... except from both ends" LOL XD

[@carlbirtles4518]

Meaning, Lt. Gottlieb vomited and got diarrhea.

[@JackPlatts]

I think if you are cold and hungry enough, you will wear any dead peoples clothes and eat just about anything

[@DarkMetalEyes]

"No, it is from a dead woman." "Nyeheheheheheheheheh!" it is a pretty nice coat, though...

[@carlbirtles4518]

From Berlin!

[@MrSohaibthegreat]

The face at 1:39 is so fucking hilarious!

[@MrXhaber]

oh dear, it is so easy to win the war when it is over

[@StephenETavington]

Summer 1942 German forces launched Operation Blue to capture the oilfields of Caucasus Mts. Per plan the 270,000 strong 6th Army took most of Stalingrad but was soon locked in bitter urban warfare within the ruined city. In Nov Soviet forces launched a massive counter-attack and completely surrounded the 6th Army, which soon ran out of supplies. The German air force failed to resupply the troops as promised and the last 91,000 German troops surrendered on 2 Feb.

[@Packless1]

4 more weeks and he'll say '...but here is food! There's Lt.Gottlieb...!'

[@carlbirtles4518]

If you were desperate enough to eat an officer.

[@auaaron11]

I wear dead people's clothes all the time in Skyrim, you just wipe the blood off

[@Lieblingsfachful]

@wtfringe123 Yeah, in such dire straights I wouldn't be too picky about where my clothing came from.

[@Jonwyattearp]

Had Hitler committed a more measurable force to Africa before he invaded the Soviet Union, he may have been able to defeat the British in Egypt and take the oil there. He would have achieved a much larger material victory at a parcel of the cost. So many what if's.

[@Zolega89]

So, all that you have, is enedible food, a dead man's boots, a dead woman's coat! IS THERE NOTHING YOU HAVE THAT IS ANY USE TO ME?!

Nooooo... Poor doggies! :(

[@gradgurl2007]

@urmo345 - You obviously haven't seen Eddie Izzard.

[@PUM_Productions]

Yes I agree, Stalingrad had no importance. But what about the fact that around 75% of all german soldiers in Stalingrad were still wearing their summer uniforms all winter (when the railways were completely clear) more then 20,000 men froze to death and in actual fighting during the winter, the germans killed more russians, and the Russians were better equipped (and they had more artillery and tanks then the Germans) (Just imagine if the germans were even PARTIALLY equipped)

[@ellasfriend1]

I would've worn the dead people's stuff, it's not like they'd be wanting it back...

[@Lieblingsfachful]

@Napoleontas That's right. The Russians lost more men in Operation Barbarossa than any time in the war after. Most being lost to surrender, of course. The Germans had the Russians out-gunned and out manuevered in many ways. It was only after Stalingrad did it all start to unravel from the strain. And even then, the German troops were always vastly superior to the Russians.

[@Lieblingsfachful]

@Ravensteinzh I honestly think you give the Russians too much credit. The casulaties were vastly disproportionate on the Eastern Front. The Russians suffering far more than the Germans ever did, even in victories, such as in Stalingrad.

[@tibaramov]

Gen. Winter, the best russian general...

[@Lieblingsfachful]

Truly. Had they pushed harder around the Black Sea and captured the Crimea (and thus the oil), the Russians would have no source of oil except from Afghanistan (being imported via lend-lease) and that would have left the already mechanically disadvantaged Russian army, in an even worse place to stop the Wehrmacht.

[@carlbirtles4518]

In '79, the USSR invaded Afghanistan to support the communist government, which led to the demise of the USSR.

[@fl333r]

Wearing dead people stuff doesn't sound that bad. The introduction made it sound like they resorted to cannibalism. I mean, you thaw the legs to get the boots and cook some meat. I mean, they rot, and maggots will eat them. What's the difference of being eaten by a person? Cannibalism doesn't sound hard... unless you're the one in charge of dicing meat... and well... active cannibalism is not good either. Dead bodies = okay, making dead out of living to eat is not. Sorry if I offend.

[@PewDiePiefan05]

((Poor Russia XD))

[@3Slim3Shady3]

lol i knew they were gonna mention thed dogs

[@martianunlimited]

:) to be fair, all empires rise and fall... some last longer than others, but they will one day eventually fall too...

[@KawaiiMooMoo]

Awww, poor Fido D:

[@Lieblingsfachful]

@Ravensteinzh That's because the soviets mercilessly killed women and children along with men, soldier or not. On top of that, there were huge amounts of brutal rape. It was almost universal as the red army swept through. This is all the case when the soviets finally took Germany, on it's last leg. Of course casulaties are going to be in their favour. There was nobody left to defend expect untrained Volk-strum and scattered remnants of regular army and Waffen SS.

[@whowantsabighug]

Because these magical 'slaves' can be used for fighting.

[@McLarenMercedes]

@Napoleontas Only Germany?? Yeah, I suppose we can count out the Italian, Romanian, Hungarian, Croatian and Slovakian troops fighting alongside the Germans in the Soviet Union. Then there's the Finns too. While we are at it, let's count out all the hundreds of thousands of foreign volunteers from countries under German occupation and non-German SS divisions. AND the Russian Liberation Army (fought alongside the nazis), Cossacks and local collaborators. 80% of all German casaulties were there
