On the 22nd June 1941, massed German forces crossed the Soviet border, beginning Operation Barbarossa. This enormous, ambitious invasion would be a huge gamble for Hitler. Through several key strategic errors and Hitler's incomparable ego, its failure would go on to cost Germany the war.

Their supply lines were too long. Their line was too weak in too many plances when the Russians finally did counter properly, after Stalingrad they should have all been allowed to perform a rapid and effective defensive retreat instead of just delaying the inevitable and slowly weakening all the force in the east. Lack of oil, hoping to capture the supplies they needed while their armies literally freeze and starve to death. It was a clusterfk like no other.

Speaking of strategic errors-- This program gets the German talkeover of the Balkan wrong as far as motives.. Hitlers army had been planning on invading Russia by the Middle of may 1941-- But Because the Greeks kicked the snot out of the italians under Mussollini Germany had to go to Italys rescue.. It only took 5 weeks.. But those 5 weeks meant that Germans didn't get to the outskirts of Moscow until November / december after General winter had intervened on the side of the Russians. The Russians counterattacked stalling the Germans. And from there the Germans were never able to regain their earlier sucesses.. best Bruce Peek
@SuperOdyss
@SuperOdyss 17 днів тому
Actually modern historian do not think the Balkan distraction affected the launch date of Barbarossa. The weather was bad in the USSR so they could not start earlier, and the Germans actually did better when General winter was around since the muddy roads were frozen and their tanks could proceed towards Moscow. It was the annual rains of October that slowed the Germans down. There is really no way that the socialists of Germany could have won that war once the allies decided they would resist. Britain blocked oil to the continent in 1939 and by itself likely would have eventually beaten Germany but it may have taken decades like the cold war.

1941 - Germany stopped the advance to Moscow to help with the advancements to Kyiv and Leningrad, which gave the soviets time to dig defense lines and prepare 1942 - Germany overachieved goals for the Caucuses campaign, and had overstretched lines 1943 - Soviet intel reports figured of the German plans for Kursk, which gave the soviets valuable time to prepare for the attack. And it all came down in 1944, when Italy collapsed, Soviets launched Operation Bagration, which drove the Germans to Berlin, and D-day, which lead to the liberation of western Europe.

The real reason for their defeat was that the Germans massively underestimated the strength of the Soviets. Even after losing massive numbers in 41 the Soviets were still able to start winning within a year and half. Imagine if Stalin would have been just a little more competent or lucky in 41/42, the war would have been over years earlier. In short the Germans should not have entertained the notion they had a serious chance of winning. This is what happens when you base your strategy on racism or bigotry rather than on reality. This is lesson that has still not been learnt by modern aggressors.

Good thing the Germans failed in any case.

Germany should have went after the oil fields in Russia first refresher didn't have fuel how could they have moved the massive number of tanks does oil fields are so far south they would have had a logistic nightmare just to keep their troops Supply

It's crazy that so many Russians surrenderd during this war seems like it was better to surrenderd than put up any kind of a fight and then to realize at the end of the war j very few made it back home we're talking about millions of Russian soldiers so crazy 🤣

They always talk about Kursk but I think there was an even larger battle on the way to Moscow. It wasn’t as sexy. Look up the battle of Brody. No Tigers or Panthers. Without that brand name recognition, and the fearful 88, it becomes just a footnote in history.

Nah. Germans lost due to a logistical error. By accident OKH handed Paulus staff the wrong maps. Apparently, instead of Stalingrad, they got the Illfracombe-Barnstaple section. God knows where the proper maps ended up...

The soviet union would invade the reich eventually. Question is: would it be better to defend against the soviets rather than conquer them? Germany would still fight a 2 front war that way

Shorter supply line, less front to cover and less oil usage. The Germans would’ve definitely done better on a counteroffensive war.

What helped the Russians a lot was, the English broke the German's Enigma code and were sending the Russians information where it was probable and when a German attack would come from. That saved the Russians a lot of casualties.

Not true, the British did not share Engima decrypted secrets with the Russia. They did not want the knowledge that German Engima code was compromised be known by the Germans at least in 1940 to early 1945.
