World War II Every Day with Army Sizes (Royal Marines Reacts)

[@Kriegter]

Studying the eastern front of WW2 is very interesting. The changes in the front lines and the different offensives really makes you realize how complex the troop allocations and logistical networks are and how massive this war really is. It also helps to put in perspective the current war in Ukraine.

[@jimmychiang4495]

Those were millions of lives gone in every months and weeks, and dramastic labor power, money had been invested in these battles; billions of people stopped working at industries and markets but became the war machines, all the wealth that people from Europe and Asia tried to stockpiling during the past centuries were mostly smashed... Of course it was fun, and the topic of wwii will be fun for a very long time, we today are still using the mindset of Yalta to construct the root of this world and the politics within it. Many hidden lies and altered history fact will come out soon after Russia's war against Ukrain, when we no longer need to pay respect to the most catastrophic government in human history. Then there will be more to discuss about for WWII, publicly

[@edim108]

Yup. Artillery is the king of battle, but logistics is the god of war. One of the main reasons Soviet Union lost so many soldiers was due to poor logistics which resulted in frequent equipment shortages, which in turn forced generals to trade casualties for time to get the heavy weapons they need to crack through the defenses.

At no point during the war after 1941 did Germany have less than 2/3 of their forces facing the Bolsheviks. If they did not proceed with Operation Barbarossa, they would have easily secured Africa, and refocused all efforts to the British, aiming to bring the Empire to its knees. D-day would never have been possible - Germany was superior numerically, technologically, and they were in another world in terms of doctrine. Only the USSR could match Germany in 44/45 in doctrine, the allies still had inferior armoured warfare doctrines. Russian people must be so proud of their achievement - after the fall of France, the world viewed the German war machine as invincible, and it may as well still be, if not for the USSR.

Definitely. As a US citizen. I can confidently say that the soviet union played the largest deciding factor of defeating Germany. They fought the majority of them by far. I remember reading something a long time ago in my studies that 8 out of every 10 Germans who fell died in the eastern front. While US played the largest factor in defeating the Japanese. I don't know how it is now. But back in my highschool years we were taught pretty much that US is the biggest deciding factor of the war. I don't recall almost anything being mentioned of the Soviet Union at all.

[@SubtleHawk]

The only reason they could do that though was because of lend-lease. I'm not taking away their bravery at all, but what I'm saying is that the wouldn't have been successful without the supplies they were getting. The US was also supplying the Allies with weapons and stuff way before they actually got directly involved with the war.

@@Humphrey_Bogard Yes, and either set of events missing at that point in the war would have been a loss for the one that did happen. It split supply lines in two different directions across extreme distances away from Germany itself, which was already having problems with getting supplies in the first place. It certainly helped that the Soviets were literally burning all the supplies they left behind as the Germans moved toward Moscow, that meant the Germans couldn't just resupply locally with Soviet supplies, and that the German leadership was so incompetent that they not only chose to go ahead with Operation Barbarossa at a time when the brutal winter of Russia would cost them a large section of the armor they sent and so incompetent that they tried to air drop supplies to their troops surrounded at the Battle of Stalingrad, instead supplying the defending Soviets with German supplies. However, the things keeping the full might of the Germans off the Soviets at the time were the unsuccessful German attempts to take Great Britain and the Allied invasion of occupied, or as they were known by their German puppet state name, Vichy, France along with the subsequent push toward Berlin from there.

[@12Blast]

That’s probably not that likely. As long as the Soviets don’t supply the Germans, the Germans would’ve eventually ran out of the necessary supplies and resources to fight all the allies. It’s also very likely that the USA would’ve nuked Germany if the war in Europe hadn’t been decided by the time the bomb was ready. The only small chance that the Axis had of winning WW2 would be if the American Revolution failed and operation sea lion succeeded.

Juno or Juno Beach was one of five beaches of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. The beach spanned from Courseulles, a village just east of the British beach Gold, to Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, and just west of the British beach Sword. Taking Juno was the responsibility of the Canadian Army, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and a naval bombardment force provided by the Royal Canadian Navy and the British Royal Navy as well as elements from the Free French, Norwegian, and other Allied navies. The objectives of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division on D-Day were to cut the Caen-Bayeux road, seize the Carpiquet airport west of Caen, and form a link between the two British beaches on either flank.

D-day was called a failure because they did meet their assigned goals and the Germans didn’t even had their full force prepared and they could really did anything because Hitler was asleep only one tank unit was there out of 9 and ONE almost derailed the entire invasion.

the real fun fact is that many are not aware that USSR were TOGETHER with Germany the aggressor (just acted a bit delayed) - but due to the plot twist and later political aspects and more focus on Germany got away with that - but there was a reason why the cold war came into existence. And I do not just talk about the Hitler-Stalin-Pact but the attack on Finland and many other countries. And BECAUSE many are not aware about the twisted narratives they are also not aware about the situation/period of the war when Germany and Russia had shared Europe. Right at that point WW2 was DIFFERENT (and one cannot stretch that enough - almost all dont get that and automatically fail) then it was later when Germany attacked the USSR - and all of a 'sudden' USSR turned to appear part of the good site. That was a lie but still today many are not aware about that - even not while the following cold war and occupation of other countries should give every idiot the real picture. Too many follow not reality but narratives about the reality.

Without US involvement in ww2 i dont think germany would’ve won but america’s involvement and giving resources to russia and other allies certainly helped speed up germany’s defeat. Russia also had a major help with their battles from resources coming from the US. But Russia did do a TON of heavy lifting and all of the allies did their part. Really i dont think germany would’ve won no matter which ally joined or not. Britain getting supplies from the US happened decently early enough that if it was just the UK i dont think germany would win. Yeah it would take forever but germany with their useless ally and japan not going to help at all ( mainly since germany and japan never really cared for each other and only allied since they had same enemies. That and japan just got out of a war with russia and didnt want more war with them.) But really it all was a huge group effort that made sure the war didnt last decades longer. And i think the whole “this country did better or this country won the war themselves” is stupid. No matter what germany was going to lose. It was a matter of when and all of these countries made it certain to be shorter than if only one country or two were facing germany.

[@Alex20114]

They absolutely would have won, just as they would if the Russians weren't fighting the Germans in the east. It was the combination of those two that caused the split of German military resources that allowed both to succeed. Maybe some of the minor members of the Allies, like the Free French military, could have stayed out without consequence, but the major members like the US, Great Britain, and the USSR were all necessary.

[@talatanday]

Your claim is quite over-optimistic. Well, you should read about how empires rises. They rose by winning and claiming lands from other countries. If not for the defeat in Russia, Germany would have became a new European Empire.

It is interesting to see how a person argues that the USSR held back the Nazis and thanks to this all the allies managed to win the Second World War, and today Nazism is attributed to Russia, but if you dig deep, in 2014 the nationalists carried out a coup in Ukraine, several regions in eastern Ukraine were against new illegal government, but the uprising was suppressed with tanks and firearms, someone was burned alive, people survived on the territory of Donbass, meanwhile, President Putin every year asked to stop shelling Donbass and agree on peace, but during negotiations in the city of Minsk, the Ukrainian armed forces built concrete underground fortifications on the territory of Donbass, and those so-called separatists in the east of Ukraine by the West, these are ethnic Russians who have lived there for several hundred years, at the beginning of 2022, the armed forces of Ukraine began to shell the Donbass much more actively than usual, in addition, Ukraine in March planned to arrange Donbass together with NATO the second Yugoslavia in 1999 and Zelensky openly asked Western countries for nuclear weapons, after which Putin decided to recognize the DPR and LPR and declare a military operation. I’ll add one thing from myself, if there were Americans in the place of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, the United States would have announced a military operation back in 2014 and judging by the countries of the Middle East, Ukraine would have turned into ruins that same year, and no one would have verbal peace agreements every year would not create
