'This disaster save has been sent in by AustrianPainter1889. He says everything was going great until Paulus betrayed him in Stalingrad and Steiner didn't counterattack with his divisons. Right, lets see what we can do.'

Just imagine French people seeing the Germans again after 4 years…

This is how Hitler thought Steiner's counter attack would go.

I imagine how this would have been explained in RL: "Well, we were at the gates of Berlin. And now we are back where we started".

“Finally, Berlin is nearly fallen. The war will end soon…” 3 years later… “SIR, PARIS HAS FALLEN AGAIN!” Edit: Added in punctuation and MOMMMMM! IM FAMOUS!

The three stages of Bittersteel videos: pain; pain; "wow, my tanks are destroying everyone!"

"General Eisenhower, how goes the war against the fascists?" "The defense of Paris goes well enough." "...the what?"

My headcannon for why Amsterdam got nuked is that the nuke was heading for Hamburg, but the bomber was intercepted by an Me 262 and the bomb just fell onto Amsterdam by mistake. This incident led to such an enormous political catastrophe that the Allies were never allowed to attempt another nuking in Europe, the Dutch welcomed the Germans back, and the American and British armies lost what little will they had left and started revolting en mass thus leading to the near complete collapse of resistance in West Germany and France..

The moment where Bitt3rSteel said "It's Endsiegin' Time!" And Endsieged all over the Allies and Soviets.

In the next Wolfenstein reboot, "1946. Everything's gone to shit. German Army somehow pushed us back to the see. Lost a lot of good people, don't know how. Gonna make you pay, General Bitterstahl..."

I love how the game starts germany as "Greater German Reich" when its in utter ruins.

germany in hoi4 endsieg: "wow, the allies were right at the gates of berlin, and we managed to completely turn the tide and win the war!!!!" germany in real life if they kept fighting until 1946: "hey, that cloud looks like a giant mushroom-"

One of the hardest disaster saves ever, submitted by Steiner

Imagine being an allied soldier, and hearing about the second fall of Paris

I can't believe my eyes, the mad lad did it! You sir deserve the bell icon! I've had so many runs with it, negative modifiers and all. The feeling you must had when you were doing the encirclements must 've been ecstatic. Question, where was your fuel supply coming from?

"Mein fuhrer" "Steiner..." *"Steiner proclaimed himself Fuhrer, the Allies have surrendered"*

A new and brilliant German commander. Nicknamed Bittersteel by the Allies after the tenacious defense he made during 1945. At just 20 years of age he became the spotlight of the German high command. He stopped the soviets in the East and stopped the Allies at the west, crushing their dream of a swift victory in just 1 month. Nukes couldn’t stop him and he entered Paris in 10 th of January 1948. After that hitler gave semi control over the Wehrmacht and the SS. In some historical documents it’s said to persuade Hitler to better and safer decisions in the most critical situations. He also checked and created divisions himself without the approval of the reich. He took Moscow ( a fever dream) in 1st of November 1950 literally ending WW2 and annexing the soviets and making the whole world pay reperations in the peace talks. He became Hitlers favorite so he and hitler governed the reich. After WW2 he gained the nickname” big daddy” by nazi generals He saved a dying nation and he created a new order… LONG LIVE BITTERSTEEL AND THE 1000 YEAR REICH his statue is in Berlin in the salon of the reichstag with Hitler s portrait

"Finaly I can Rest After The war" *Second Fall of paris*

Imagine Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin talking and laughing on how they'll split Germany and someone interupts with "Sir, the Germans took france and are near moscow again"

-They were about to surrender, Winston. . . -I know, Joseph. I know.

"I fell like I did a good job." A "good job"? Man, you went from total and certain defeat to victory. Gee, what an accomplishment.

I think it's impossible with the modifiers, even if I deleted the divisions and had them full strength around Berlin they still couldn't hold.

don't ever give bro a time machine 💀

Seeing as my grandfather was literally a part of the western offensive on this date, I’m not sure whether or not I should be cheering for you to win

Looking forward to this, it is a very fun and difficult scenario.

The British and French watching Germany encircle them around Dunkirk again: Also, i wonder how the defectors felt in this scenario.

Bittersteel: I didn’t hear no bell. And you better call an ambulance, but not for me. This is a good summary of how this went I feel like.

It would be really cool if you would get different modifiers and like events when you conquer/liberate certain parts. Like I feel like thematically it makes sense. Like conquering Paris would be a MASSIVE morale boost for the army (this is just the first example I could think of. But I just think that would really take this mod to the next level

Imagine being at the gates of Berlin and some dude takes over and ends up beating you

>I beat the scenario that shouldn't be won! Battle of Seelow Heights >removes the negative modifiers

18:58 "SHHUSHH!!!" Bro was legitimately exhilarated😂

The hoi4 universe be like Truman: we have suffered 7 million casualties Stalin: so how far have you pushed since 1945? Truman: Stalin: you have pushed Germany since 1945 right?

Imagine Allied and Soviet generals having drinks of Vodka and Whisky around the table "Ahhh, Germany is about to fall very soon. How are you thinking we should, you know, split the country?" and just at that moment, messenger rushes in and states "Germans are... RETREATING?! But... But... They are holding positions regardless of our relentless bombing and... uhm, sirs, it seems that they are... *reading down a note* making a meat grinder in the East for Soviets and... *reading more* making one for in a port in Denmark? I.... I think they aren't going to give up, sirs!" And few years later, the same table with the same generals: "What on earth happened? We were so close! Now they've saved Italy and conquered France - AGAIN!" where Soviet general responds "Comrade General, the Soviet forces have lost over 20 million soldiers and we are falling back. The Germans are pushing as further than ever before and we do not think we can hold their advances. Somehow they managed to get guns to all of those crazy patriots of them!" To which US general responds; "General, we have lost so many troops in the European theater, that we are forced to pull out. Europe's problem aren't our problem. We have done what we can, we are on the brink of civil war here if we don't pull out the forces and equipment. We just cannot continue. Oh, and Generals, Italy is back on map. How is that possible? What the hell happened there?"

The world if Steiner did his legendary attack:

This is could be like alternative timeline “what if steinar could counter attack”

You can tell from bittersteels voice that he was dying inside or was already dead inside by the end of the video

Ah yes, the Wolfenstein: the new order timeline

a toast for the third battle of ardennes at 22:23

Steiner's offensive work 💀💀💀

This is exactly how Hitler thought the war would go by 1945. At least until Steiner refused to counter attack.

I love this game but the casualties get so silly. 37 million additional casualties. The soviets could have never withstood that. In our own timeline they were having manpower issues by 45 to the extent it was getting tough to keep frontline units full. The same is true here of Germany to a less silly extent(just because there was less losses) they wouldn't have been able to take millions more casualties.

Steiner's counter attack is here!

Bitt3rSteel: But, I'm also human... Everyone else: Press X to Doubt

I genuinely wanted to see you play this mod, love your playthroughs man keep it up

The Soviet army is ridiculously over equipped. They should have between 1/2 and 2/3 of their max strength

"OUT THE FUEL" 德軍的機動戰術完全的依賴足夠的油料，沒有油的時候就會戰敗的很淒慘 一年的死守，幾乎不可能的任務，成功過後就是敵人的虛弱 剩下的還是需要最菁英的部隊去攻擊 比較可惜的是，沒有表現出更多設計部隊跟坦克的細節，後面就只是不停的輾壓著已經變弱的敵人

Dam it you can't skip the sponsor part on a live video.

Excited to see the sequel legit run

Three years ago, in Vichy: "Sir, the Germans are on the brink of defeat." "Tres bien!" Three years later: "Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation."

It’s been so long since I’ve played HOI4 that I legit couldn’t even start a game and know what to do anymore. I still watch all your videos lol. Maybe I should submit a disaster save haha. But no if I re-learn a paradox game anytime soon it’s gonna be to try the new CK3 dlc lol

I think it's really cool the level of detail that this mod has. For shits and giggles, I googled the 12th Panzer Division that you clicked on in the Courland pocket. Lo and behold, guess where they ended up in real life? Really cool.

Pov: Steiners Counterattack worked

Churchill to Roosevelt and Stalin "Well I must say Gentlemen, this has been a mighty effort by the allies, we suffered a lot of casualties, but Germany are finally on the brink of destruction." Churchill's assistant: "Sirs, Paris has fallen......again.....and the Germans are now outside Moscow.......again." Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt: "Well that escalated quickly.......like that really got out of hand."

Thank you for playing my suggestion! Really glad you finally got to the real final boss of disaster saves

22:00 "Hey, I've seen this before!"

Imagine being one of the "traitor" German generals that surrendered Hearing the Reich turned the tided

This clip actually reminded me of a story I heard from one of my college professors. One of my history professors is the son of a conscripted SS veteran. From what my professor told us in the class, his father was transferred from unit to unit in the last days of the war. Every time he was transferred once every few months or so, his old unit would have the crap beaten out of it as they were retreating from the Soviets or the Americans. As you were moving your units around, it reminded me of that.

now do it again with the modifiers

Love me some Bitt3rSteel, suffering for our entertainment and education. But actually, love your videos, keep up the amazing work man!

Annudah endsieg

Finally you played this mod.

It’s so weird that bittersteel dose not have more subs or views he makes great videos

Truly brings a tear into one’s eyes 🥹

Steiner would be proud

The Madlad actually did it! Great video XD

Can't wait to see how he does

WOW! Just wow that comeback

" He has tears of joy coming down his face "

Steiner's counterattack rlly outdid itself

Very nice work Bittersteel

Nah bro huge respect love the video❤️

It would be crazy for those countries ovcupied by the german in 1940, liberated by the Allies in 44/45, only to see the germans puch back and take over again in 46/47

This is the single greatest disaster save I’ve seen. I’ve watched this about 8 or 9 times now lol

POV Steiner launched the counterattack

Amazing, gives me hope for my game that went from me smashing all of Europe to Spain and Russia mobbing me lol, I now have hope 🤞

i think videos with more tries are more fun to watch :D (couse the pain)

Me thinking when he says he remove the negative. This is going to be awsome, but the next vid will be epic.

Congratulations man !

"Mein fuhrer... Steiner... Steiner has counterattacked. It was a complete, albeit lengthy, success and we are besieging Moscow again." "All those that made Rant Parodies on UKposts... leave the room." *the whole army Group B leaves*

ooh, it's the one I talked about that Alex did!!! Nice

This was a wild ride

Hey Bittersteel! Love your channel! I had a quick question for you: since you appear to be a bit of a 40k fan, have you ever considered doing the Unification Wars mod as the Imperium and going for a world conquest?

when steiner counterattacks really work

The one time Steiner did something but of course Steiner would need at least 20-30 fresh and equipped divisions to even make any gains but Steiners detachment only had the numbers of one division while the red army had 50 divisions

Oh man! I really love Endsieg! Wish i could play it in my very very very outdated and totally not pirated HOI4

You made the right thumbnail decision

Bruh all of these wunderwaffe and panzer offensives and all they needed was bittersteel this entire time

Great! Now do it again with modifiers!

Im back again from the Chile video! So happy i found this channel and game recently (:

"The battle against the Soviets has already been won" (this time they actually won 😮)

A nice training session for the REAL fight.

Can you play as litchenstein? It has a focus tree (at least in road to 56)

Good job, General

The Steiner's counterattacks worked 😂

Please, continue with the play, i want to see the endl of this

You know, I would like to see someone beat this mod with all the debuffs someday.

So, all the Painter needed to do was removing debuffs. How on Earth didn't he do it?

I don’t normally comment, but wow. You’re a hoi4 genius lol. Godspeed

5:24 you want some sub marines in a strike fleet, because the subs will target fleeing ships and sink them
