@@CommanderPaulB So true

I know it's so sad

Many of them couldn't imagine living in a world without Nazism anymore

The SS and other fanatics had nothing left to lose at this point. They either fought and took as many with them as possible, or be executed or sent to gulag. The regular army was just buying time for their fellow countrymen to escape to the west, to avoid soviet vengeance. That was pretty much the only motivating factors at this stage of the war. Hence why there was so little fighting going on in the west by then.

It's mind boggling isn't it

The number mean the number of troops

well its just statistic.....

@DoiR4 Most of the german troops were either ww1 vets, children or people over 48

@DoiR4 allied you mean US or USSR and Poland?

@DoiR4 The Allied troops were just as well trained as the Germans. In fact, at this point of the war, the extent of German war training was firing a gun. If you could do that, go shoot some Ruskies grandpa

@@retardistancountryball7That’s true in part,yes most of the Wehrmacht was battling outside of Berlin and so the elder,youth and veterans had to take their part,but in the centre around the Reichstag the SS-Elite was still standing and they had way better training than any allied soldier.But most of the outer rings were defended by people definitely not capable enough for battle!

That's why it's zerg rush. Throw bodies

"The race for Berlin" Wait until you find out the FBI declassified documents in 2016 showing Hortler didn't remove himself and the soviets lied about finding his body to save face, thus why they burned the place down and the only remaining "DNA" from Hortler are skull fragments that don't match his actual hair and tissue samples. There's a reason the Soviets didn't want the allies anywhere near the place once they found out he escaped.

No one should say "God" like that because it is blasphemous, and enstranges us further from God, who loves us. It's a small thing but it's so easy to stop doing, seek Jesus and repent, because He gives all the things that you can't buy or fake that the world will tell you can be found anywhere else, like a purpose, a future, and peace of mind... sacrifice is the ultimate form of love, what does this world sacrifice for you? God sent His only begotten Son so that you might be saved. Christianity isn't an "us" and "them" thing, you can go to heaven too! Just seek earnestly seek Jesus, prayer is a good way to start

@@Anonymous-pf5bz , German prisoners of war were treated more humanely in the USSR than the Nazis once treated Soviet prisoners of war.

don't lie. US tried their best to take Berlin, but didn't succeed. If not, why has US started campaign against Hitler in Europe?

no because they are cowards. cowards who appropriate someone else's victory. they fought with only one tenth of the power of the German army that faced ussr. and then they make films in which they are the only winners and ussr pictured as war criminals.

It was done on purpose. They let them regroup in one place, easier to fight them all in one place.

adapt, improvise when necessary and overcome.

damn

Because that's what they were doing. Those three units are the remnants of the German 9th army. They were hauling ass through the countryside to escape to the West. If you look at the German line you'll see a single German force moving to attack the Southwest of Berlin. That's Walther Wenck's 12th army, one of the last combat capable German armies, launching offensives into the Soviet line to draw their troops away from the retreating remnants of the 9th army.

Потому что наши предки им мстили за геноцид и разореные города с деревнями. Наши солдаты многое потеряли и просто хотели убить всех нацистов. Поэтому те хотели, что-бы их взяли в плен более нейтральные американцы.

That is the German 9th army which was ordered by Hitler to relieve Berlin. Their commander ignored this order in an attempt to push west so that his troops could have the chance to surrender to the Americans. Although his order caused many soldiers to be killed. It probably ultimately saved more soldiers than it lost. As surrendering to the soviets usually meant over a decade of tortuous conditions in Siberia where a majority of German POWs died.

Battle of Halbe

Alight Motion

I think they were guarding and maintaining the Swedish iron ore supply that the germany was using for their war industry, so I'm not sure if retreating them would make it any better as they would lose a lot of the iron with which they were building tanks and whatnot...

The 9th Army was a World War II field army which was activated on 15 May 1940. By 1945 the 9th Army were driven into a pocket in the Spree Forest south of the Seelow Heights and west of Frankfurt an der Oder. From inside the pocket west of Frankfurt the 9th army attempted a breakout to the west to join up with the 12th Army. The breakout, known as the Battle of Halbe, resulted in the destruction of the Ninth Army as a coherent force. Troops that were not captured or killed by the Soviets crossed the Elbe at Tangermünde and surrendered to the US Army.
