I can never get enough WW2 Barbarossa, Blau, Uranus, or any WW2 campaign. Legit let out an audible “ayyy!!” When I saw this video pop up on my feed. Love catching these as i lay up for bed

Historical archives/footage should not be censored.

If Operation Barbarossa have been started earlier rather than putting up with that side-show in the Balkans and Yugoslavia, it may have changed the course of the Russo-German War.

I already know all the history, but I can’t help myself.

Yugoslavia or not the fact remains that the German Army after 5 months of fighting and Hitler's strategic blunder of diverting his army to Kiev was exhausted when they reached the outskirts of Moscow. All their seasoned veterans of the French campaign had been killed and the Germans were about to be hit by 22 fresh divisions of Siberian troops which had defeated the Japanese under Zhukov and 1000 new T 34 tanks. They would have had to retreat 160 odd miles as happened and would have been the beginning of the end for Germany. Even if Zhukov's offensive did not work the Russians would have retreated to the Urals and in winter formed another offensive from the inexhaustible reserves of manpower and equipment the USSR had.

One particularly jarring note….Herr Gitface was 52 years old when Barbarossa started, so why did the makers of this doco use a bloke who looks about 32?

So it was the winter that won. And the reason winter got them was because they delayed 3 months in Greece. The original Barbarossa was suppose to start sometime in March April but then they had to intervene through operation Mariza since Mussolini got clobbered in Greece.

What an insane introduction 🤣

Wasn't the Wolf's Lair in Rastenburg, East Prussia, not "Eastern Poland"? Winston Smith would be proud.
