Napoleon said: "The most menacing army cannot successfully wage war against a whole nation that decided to win or die."

[@HONORTONUMERIC123]

Yeah... That's right.... But did he say it in French or English...... At that time....

[@HONORTONUMERIC123]

I mean If he would have said it in French at that time.... I think that would have been understood to only French language speakers at that time..... If he would have said it English at that time.... I think that would have been understood to everybody who participated in that revolution......

Russian defense is unstoppable. As seen here, they tip the scales in the opposite direction when the motherland is invaded. Just ask Napoleon

Actually Napoleon won all his battles in Russia. Napoleon lost because of logistics not military defeats in Russia.

the Germans thought making the Russian army capitulate was a day in the park...they woke up a Monster of an Army and not only they make them go back but relentlessly invaded and took Berlin with almost no help from the allies

[@johnscott1663]

Not true, America bombed all the German war manufacturering plants that they could not replace what they lost. America also provided Russia with many support vehicles. America also taught Russia how to make assemblies lines for war construction of tanks. America helped Russia tremendously during the war. But yes Russia sacrificed many of soldiers to take Berlin.

[@alexmikityanskiy2728]

Just like today Putin miscalculated with capturing Ukraine in 3 days.

[@chrisstucker1813]

What a load of rubbish. Most of Germany’s top generals advised against an invasion of the Soviet Union. They knew the enormity of the task. And the Russians got plenty of help from the allies. The lend lease act enabled the US to supply Russia with food, oil, weapons and trucks etc from 1941-1945. In the grand of scheme of things, this wasn’t a lot but they needed all the help they can get as the Soviet Union was close to collapse in the first couple years of the war. The war took an enormous toll on the Russian people and Red army soldiers as food was extremely scarce and people starved. Also if the allies hadn’t invaded Italy and Normandy it may have been possible for Germany to achieve a stalemate since they could’ve diverted more oil and tanks towards the eastern front. The red army had to bleed their way to Berlin and suffered astonishing casualties

[@akalapov]

Not true. USA help and supplies was less than 10% of what was needed. Meanwhile USa was making business with Germany for billions every year and was financing the hitler rise up to Purl Harbor. So in a way USA hurted more than they helped.

This entire video is about a series of disastrous offensives that allowed the Germans to tear open the front-lines all over again.

[@saa-mx8us]

Russia was able to replace it's losses , while those front line tears that Germany made only got them overstretched and eventually defeated in Stalingrad and Caucasus

[@nottherealpaulsmith]

so disastrous the soviets retreated all the way to berlin, i hear
