The Horrific Fight for Leningrad: German Vs Soviet Union | World War II

[@masudashizue777]

I am 70 now but I hope to end my journey before facing horrors of this magnitude.

@@rodzor My comment was directed at the op, but if u can honestly and with a straight face look around u right now in either Europe or the US and say there's nothing wrong, then I'm not sure what to tell u.

[@lilmike2710]

I'm afraid that the sacrifices the altar of freedom demands will be coming from a threat within our country. It's become quite clear that corrupt and unscrupulous people have been regularly allowing themselves to be compromised by foreign influences. Some out of greed, some from blackmail. I pray that I am wrong.

Not like some other channels where the documentaries cut to a closeup of some dude talking half the video

[@cazdy]

Great vid bro 👍

[@billd2635]

This doc is primarily about the military aspects of the siege. The stories that come from the civilian side are truly horrific. I have heard that after the war the Soviets rounded up and shipped 20,000 cats to Leningrad and then released them. Seems the rats and mice were proliferating due to no predators around. They had all beet eaten.

[@jebbroham1776]

It was Hitler's greatest blunder in Russia, even surpassing that of Stalingrad. Instead of just ordering Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb to send his forces into Leningrad when it was vulnerable and could have been taken (much like Moscow), he opted for a siege which was absolutely idiotic. This not only tied up huge numbers of resources and troops to hold the perimeter around the city, it robbed the Germans of any potential reinforcements further east, most notably in the critical Rzev sector Northwest of Moscow, almost a million in total. Operation Barbarossa was doomed the minute Hitler began interfering and making sudden changes to the carefully crafted original plan, after it had already begun.

[@sthrich635]

lmao how many Hitler's "greatest blunder" are there? First it's Moscow, Stalingrad, then Kursk, then Normandy, then Ardennes. It sure took a lot of "greatest blunder" for the Allies of all major world's industrial powers to beat Germany huh? Just another blaming myth from post-war Wehrmacht officers who still refused to put down their military "pride". Army Group North was far from any main strategic objectives, not Ukraine, not Caucasus, not even Moscow! And what a surprise that the Red Army refused to give up fortress-built city of Leningrad, and with all the meat grinders down at center and south, Germans weren't eager to start one more. Siege a well-defended castle especially when German armies at North weren't especially wealthy with troops thanks to lack of logistics, a tactic that even a medieval knight several centuries ago would know. Hitler and his generals likely realized tens of thousand of tied up German troops was still better than tens of thousand of dead German troops.

[@Rickydicky69420]

@@sthrich635army group center and the destruction of the 6th army was undoubtedly his greatest blunder.

[@sthrich635]

@@Rickydicky69420 More like the credit being the Red Army starting to learn the ropes of mobile warfare plus the mass application of mechanized units, T34 tanks and US supplied trucks plus plenty of fuel - There was nothing the undersupplied undermotorized German armies could do, his strategy based on the limitations and shortage of German armies could only increase the cost of Soviet offensive but simply couldnt stopped them.

AT LENINGRAD WERE THE FACTORIES PRODUCING THE KV1 TANK, THE ARTILLERY, AND SHELLS FACTORIES.

[@AdVd-us9cr]

Hitler was interfering with everything he was a political man not a strategic

[@TP-ie3hj]

Thats what they will tell you. Over and over. Yet rarely do they ever say he was the mastermind of all the victories. Remember every German who survived the war had to distance himself from Hitler so easy to blame him after the fact. Besides that not knowing what was not you cant say he was wrong. Had Leningrad fallen Stalin may very well have agreed to surrender where he is holding Moscow ... now how likely would they be to Surrender if Moscow was being occupied? You simply dont know what you dont know but you can rest assured the claims about Hitler are usually just that, claims. Rare its first hand account and when it is its again distancing for self preservation not historical accuracy.

Lenningrad was the city that would not die.

[@paulpaustovanu8816]

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE defenses OF THE SOVIET LENINGRAD WAS THE SHEER IMMENSE QUANTITY OF THE SOVIET ARTILLERY, BOTH COSTAL, ON RAILWAY CARS AND CLASSICAL, IN PERMANENT FORTIFIED POSITIONS LIKE FORTS BUT ALSO IN FIELD POSITIONS. THE OTHER THING WAS THE NUMBER OF FORTS, BUILD FOR TWO AND A HALF CENTURIES. CHEERIO, HISTORYATWAR GUY, BEST OF LUCK.

@@dkkuhn87 The true etymology of that word was an insult in use long before the rise of the nationalsocialist party.
