Over on our TimeGhost History channel we've started season two of "Between 2 Wars". Season one mainly (though not exclusively) focused on wars and politics around the world, but season two will focus more on culture, art, technology, literature, science, and more- to really fill out the zeitgeist. Check out the first episode right here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYicqsV9ZcSth6g.html And... in addition to our week by week coverage here on KZread, we also cover the war day by day on Instagram, filling in things we don't have time to cover here. It's a perfect complement to this. Check it out at: instagram.com/world_war_two_realtime/ ...and please read our rules of conduct before you comment, it saves everyone a hassle: community.timeghost.tv/t/rules-of-conduct/4518

The only way they could have won is when they win the war quickly and with a large offensive. They knew that the resources of the soviets sooner or later will turn the war in their favor. It was not the question if but when they will win. They surely knew that and tried everything to win before they were resuplied with men and resources. The war was over, the Moment when they couldn’t push forward anymore.

It was a lot closer to us then. And in another decade, that generation will be gone, so If you know someone from that time, talk to them now if you can.

So complete was the slaughter that every citizen in Rome was said to have had family members, friends, or acquaintances who fell in the fighting and an an ordinance was passed outlawing public weeping as a desperate measure to shore up morale. In just 20 months Hannibal had butchered one-fifth of Rome's entire pre-war population of adult males in a series of stunning battlefield victories.

Very important detail about the german casualties not mentioned: It is 20% of the total invasion force, but of that invasion force around 50% were actual combat personal with the rest filling supporting, non combat roles. So 20% in total means around 40% of actual combat troops, which is a redicilously high amount for the germans considering the war so far. The actual combat strenght of the Wehrmacht at this point has gone down to approximatly half the invasion force if we include material loses. And the german army would never in the entire remaining war be able to replace those loses properly. Operation barbarossa in 1941 broke the combat potential of the Wehrmacht for the rest of the war. The germans would play catch up to their strengh for the rest of it.

If you look at the division readiness table between June 1941 and March 1942 the quality of German divisions is quite contrasting. In 1941 most of the German divisions were suited for all operations whereas the number by March is less than 10. Further most divisions were suited for only defensive operations. The sheer amount of attrition and ferocity of fighting just sapped the Wehrmacht to the bone.

In the Great War series there was a sub series called “Out of the Ethers”, so as the siege of Odessa is still not far from now in the past I would like to share a story I was actually expecting to be highlighted in the regular episode, just in case if similar department will be in the future on this channel. Since the Soviet forces besieged in Odessa experienced a lack of armor, they had to be inventive. So they used a little manufacturer gear left in the city after the evacuation of factories to convert agricultural tractors into tanks. They were putting armored hulls on the tractor chassis and using turrets from t-26 tanks with small caliber guns and machine guns. 69 pieces of these combat tractors were built. Their role was crucial in deterring of the Romanian forces for more than 2 months, which gave enough time for the evacuation from Odessa to Crimea. Some pieces of these improvised tanks were captured by Romanians and used by them later during the war, since they didn’t have much armor of their own.

I'm not exactly too bothered by the attack on Pearl Harbor as FDR said it would be the day that lives in infamy and everybody knows about the attack, and there's more stuff about it than probably anything else from the World Wars.

It's a good point that I hope people keep bringing up throughout the next several months. Japan never planned for or thought they were going to completely defeat the United States, just knock them back a bit and force a settlement. As Indy said in the episode here, their main concern was having a potentially hostile US Navy on their flanks while invading the European colonies in the south - that was always their primary reason for starting this mess, their need for resources to continue their dominance of the region. Their battles in the Dutch East Indies, Thailand, Burma, etc... were way more important during 1941-42, before the US fully ramped up their efforts and defending against their attacks became Japan's primary concern.

While it is true that there are other aspects of the Second World War that is not as well known or covered, it is one of the more important events of the war. At this point the war in Europe and Japan's war in China are entirely separate conflicts. The attack on Pearl Harbor and simultaneous offensive moves elsewhere by Japan in the Pacific transform those two separate, regional conflicts into a single, global war.

Hello from Ukraine, I have a question: guys why didn't you mention The Red Square parade of November the 7th? I think it was unprecedented action from soviet people, taking into accout what was happening on battlefields, and how close were German troops from Moscow. Besides, big thak you for the great quality content.

I just read the speech of Stalin. For all the bad things one has to say about him, this was a very good speech. Showing deep insight. Inspiring, encouraging and in my opinion honest. (Though the figures are a little off and losses are downplayed for encouragement purposes). He gives the people a good perspective and solid reasons for his fate in the future outcome. Something to believe in. I think one of the most underestimated powers is the power of honesty . Stalin uses that power here.

As someone who plays world of warships, collaborating with wargaming I think is an excellent decision. I can’t wait to see how the livestream turns out and hope it’s successful because then we can maybe get other historic battles/events portrayed to us through the games too. Imagine seeing the battles of Midway, Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf and using World of Tanks, the battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history. There’s probably other battles they could portray but they’re the big ones I can think off of the top of my head.

2:59 They were wrong by "only" 81 divisions (the Soviets had 241 divisions in the front in November 1st according to their own reports) and 40 brigades (the Soviets had 80 brigades in November 1st according to their own reports). So, if we consider a brigade as roughly half to a division, the Germans estimated 180 division equivalents whereas the Soviets had 281 division equivalents, which means that the Soviets had 156% the strength that the Germans though they had.

Might also be important to note that German divisions and Soviet Divisions are not comparable, similarly with the brigades, as German formations were larger than their Soviet counterparts. This may be confusing German intelligence gathering and their comprehension of enemy force.

I never cease to be amazed at how often and quickly the Red Army is able to replenish its losses. Any other country would be doomed after suffering just one of those defeats but the Russians almost always seem to find men from somewhere when needed. Also, I know it's named after the Tank, but Operation Crusader might not be the best name for an offensive in North Africa... I must say, I cannot wait to see the Pearl Harbour documentary. Looks absolutely brilliant so far. I might have to actually pay for something on World of Warships instead of playing it for free...

Its main armament and rather weak - quite a few were destroyed by Soviet tanks like the T-26 which had a 45mm gun, or by 45mm anti-tank guns. By the end of 1942 the Panzer II was generally removed from frontline service. It was too lightly armed and armoured to survive on the Eastern Front.
