"Brilliant" plans to win WWII: Soviet plan to win the war in 1942
Переглядів 1,727,103
5 років томуIn the autumn of 1941 the Germans had underestimated Red Army's strength and began an offensive that was supposed to deliver a mortal blow to the Soviet Union. This miscalculation resulted in a situation where German troops found themselves in an unfavourable position. This gave the Red Army an opportunity to trap and destroy the German Army group Centre and decide the outcome of the war.

It's easy to criticize Hitler for being "too prideful" to retreat at Stalingrad, but I never knew that he had encountered a similar scenario previously and successfully used the strategy of holding his ground. So many historical events are oversimplified when in reality most choices made by leaders like Hitler are made for a reason beyond just pride.

1.2 million lives+ lives lost within a span of four months is staggering. The eastern front truly was hell.

I love how you mentioned the logistics with a railroad picture. The fact the Soviet railroad gauge was different hurt the Germans alot more than people tell.

This is the best visual representation of Soviet strategic counter-offensive during the winter of 1941/1942 I've ever seen. Now, like others, I can't wait for you to make a vid about Operation Bagration. However, as this vid mostly discussed about the successful German defense against Soviet winter offensive, I think Battle of Rzhev during the winter of 1942/1943(Operation Mars) is also a great candidate for future projects.
