  • 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
  • @dutcho
    Historical archives/footage should not be censored.
  • Is this stripped right from Hitlers inner circle show from Netflix lol I recognize the blurred face of hess
  • 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.
  • @woodys955
    I love this channel! Please never stop uploading!!
  • still finding a way to repost operation barbarossa docs
  • ‘Acute, chronic constipation? You can have one but not the other, not at the same time.
  • The logisticians told the military planners that blitzkrieg would penetrate 600 miles into the USSR and then outrun its supply line, which was still supported with the use of 600,000 horses. After the initial successes, the advance stalled after about 600 miles.
  • No mention of the Soviet counter offensive in Dec 1941 The first time the Wermacht was beaten
  • love these vids just finished mein kamph interesting book too say
  • This goebbles seems to be a literal inspiration for1984
  • Nazism regime failures started over(in the sky of ) Britain 🇬🇧 island ... before Barbarossa... Barbarossa operations started upon the first defeat in the western front... when an authority is going on failures continuously ... a simple question is, is German people deceived by Nazism regime propagandists or German people deceived themselves through frightened pressures of Nazism regime internal policies .... or combination between two factors created that blindness until the end.
  • 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?
  • Boring as f in school, but when it's not being forced down your throat, top tier presentation, popcorn, and I'm all in. 🫡

    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.
  • 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.
  • @Adanjakub
    how many videos are they making on same topic?
  • Wasn't the Wolf's Lair in Rastenburg, East Prussia, not "Eastern Poland"? Winston Smith would be proud.
