"By the end of Barbarossa the deadliest military operation in history resulting in more than 775,00 German casualties and more than 800,000 Russian causalities" Those numbers are far too low as those are roughly equivalent to casualties for the Battle of Stalingrad alone except Soviet casualties are closer to one million. It is hard to pin down an accurate casualty count (KIA,MIA, died of wounds, or wounded) on the Eastern Front but for Germany 2-3 million, and the USSR including civilians may approach 20 million.

Yeah he means Operation Barbarossa, the first operation in the invasion of Russia, which ended in early September and was then proceeded by Operation Typhoon. His numbers anyway are a little off in comparison to what I remember researching. The Germans suffered about 450,000 casualties by the start of September, and the Russians close to 2 million, though the vast majority of those were POWs caught in the pockets.

[@wwiewolle5849]

Operation Barbarossa ended on December 5, 1941, and the German losses of 775,000 (dead, missing, wounded) are roughly true. In March 1942, one million was reached - that was about a third of German soldiers lined up on June 22, 1941!

[@lucasnedtargos]

American campaigns in WWII(Western Front, and Pacific Campaign) were nothing compared to what the Russians and Chinese faced on their homeland. Wholesale destruction, mass genocide and starvation of civilians, cruel and unusual experimentation, deep racial hatred between both sides. I respect the Marines during the Pacific campaign, and Western Front soldiers but they are nothing compared to the bigger fronts of WWII. The U.S and allies didn't even touch European land with troops until it was certain the Wehrmacht would be significantly weakened by the Red Army(supplied by the U.S and allies), and a massive aerial bombardment campaign by the allies on German cities. By the time American and allied troops hit the shores, Germany's fate was practically sealed.

This constituted 85% of all output from the Ammunition Narkomat. The mobilization reserves of the most valuable raw materials were concentrated in those factories.

On June 26, 1941, the Russian German Richter, the commander of the 6th Infantry Corps of the Red Army, voluntarily surrendered to the Germans. There was a lot of betrayal on the part of the command corps of the Red Army, there were many anti-Soviet-minded officers, and they led to large losses in the Red Army and the disorganization of troops.

Barbarossa was doomed before even started. The forecast for the eastern front was Smolensk. The food crisis, shortage of fuel, dependance of the rail depots to be close to the areas of engagements, distances from the German border, the time it took to cover those distances and the horrible logistics system made for an unsuccessful broad front war in the east. The Wehrmacht could have taken Stalingrad, but never would have made it to Astrakhan. Some argue they needed more manpower to bolster the 6th Army, but the logistics were already stretched and not keeping up with the forces that were in the Stalingrad battle.

[@weierpartisan5571]

No it wasn't doomed befor started. Everything could be another. Even with those problems which you listed. If Hitler had listened to what his generals were saying to him. Instead of spending energy on the capture of the Crimea and the blockade of St. Petersburg, it was possible to concentrate more people near Moscow and take over the city with a forced strike. By executing Stalin and killing all the members of the CPSU, thereby the Germans could have beheaded the Bolshevik hydra, and then the matter remained almost completely completed.

What a tragedy.

His intelligence officers did. He was warned by his top officers and generals that Germans were massing and that something could be coming and he ignored them. You don't just amass millions of men and thousands of AFVs and horses and trucks without people noticing. It's just that Stalin ignored them. I think Hubris played a big part. Even without the Army if you read anything from Hitler's works you can see that Hitler's main goal was always to go to war with the Bolsheviks.

The Music, and the footage, so well put together, THANK YOU, I have studied Military History all my life, now 64, STALIN I discovered about 50 years ago, was the most Evil, I believe out of the 2, for what he did to his people before the War, and during, as far as I have discovered, he really was a Paranoid Coward. A treacherous one at that. He killed more of his own people, than H. did, and that's saying something. My elder brother was born at the time of Stalin's death, and my mother told me how they tried to use Leeche's on Stalin's head, to relieve the pressure on his Brain. My Mother could'nt believe it, when the wall came down, as she said " GERMANY HAS ALWAY'S BEEN A WARRING NATION ", and thought that because of the War on the Eastern Front, they would never release Germany( at that time, info. on Stalin's atrocitie's was scarce, unless you really delved, like I did ). My father was out in Germany, with British Army in 1946, he escorted Manstein to a Castle out there, for his own safety, they were armed to the teeth, as expected ambush from Russian's, who wanted to string him up, at the time, they had USELESS STEN GUN'S STICKING OUT THE WINDOWS, IN AN ARMED CONVOY, he said Manstein, was an old school Prussian, who stood absolutely straight upright. My Twin Gt. uncle's, were at Dunkirk, witnessed the execution of British Soldier's, by the German's, before both getting away. They returned on D-Day, with the promise, both of them made, (they were both in same Regiment), of never taking German Prisoner's, after what they witnessed, and were proud to say THEY NEVER DID, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE'S. I remember talking to both of them, really nice, and friendly, always joking!!!!! They were both just a few years older than my Father. This is what War Bring's, DEATH, DESTRUCTION ETC, but whilst MAN has a hole, in his backside, there will alway's be War's. And those people, who think disarmament is a good Idea, ARE TOTALLY DELUSIONAL, AS WEAKNESS CAUSE'S WAR'S, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. Steve From London

Historians always ignore the fact that Russia suddenly and brutually attacked Finland during the winter of 1940-1941. The Russian attack on Finland enraged Hitler and rightfully so. Also, the extremely poor performance of the Russian military in Finland led the German leadership to believe they could defeat Russia quickly. Perhaps, if the Germans had attacked in early May as originally planned Russia would have been defeated by 11/15/41.

Another story often ignored by historians is the fate of Russian prisoners, 3 Million + in 1941 alone. In most cases there was no prison camps for them, no food, no shelter etc. They would be consigned to an open field and left guarded to starve to death, die of exposure, etc There was cannibalism. Even the Russian prisoners that made their way to Auschwitz were treated worse then any of other inmates. And to make things even worse, for those lucky, hardy souls that somehow survived the cruelty & inhuman conditions, liberated by Red Army were often taken into custody as traitors (they surrendered) and shipped off to a Russian gulag somewhere in the Archipelago of gulags to suffer, likely die etc.
