Defending Russia was a logistics nightmare too. The Russians suffered more casualties trying to attack in the winter and muddy seasons than the Germans did.

This series really demonstrates how the German mastery of maneuver warfare and superior experience was countered by the Russians mastery of attrition warfare and their General's rapidly increasing skill and familiarity with German tactics. You can actually see the Russians trying new things as their troops become more experienced and disciplined, this is a great way to learn about this stuff.

The total ratio of military casualties should not exceed 2 : 1. Losses in the battle for Berlin were in favor of the Red Army. However, the criterion of victory is not the losses, but the achievement of the main goals. > The eventual Soviet victory, especially when accounting for Allied aid, is not admirable at all.

@@JohnSmith-1066 "Around 20 million dead" Most of the dead are civilians whom the Germans killed in their rear. Losses among the military: 8,668,000 - the USSR (the main part in 1941), 5,076,000 - Germans. Together with the Germans, several other countries fought against the USSR. The USSR had no advantage in the number of people. In addition, almost all of continental Europe worked for Germany. The USSR lost its main industrial areas in 1941, 73 million people (1/3 of the total population of the USSR) were under German occupation. By the end of 1941, the USSR was lagging behind the Axis countries in terms of population and industry, but nevertheless won the war. The successes of the Germans in 1941 are associated with the surprise attack and unpreparedness of the Soviet army for war. Just before the war in the USSR, major reforms began in the army. They were not completed by 1941, many units of the army were not equipped with equipment, many lacked soldiers, etc. If the war began 2 years later, it would have ended much faster.

The graphic depiction of the German pocket's retreat and escape at ~10:17 was brilliant. Shrinking the circles to reflect the effect of lack of supply and disorganization on the combat effectiveness of the trapped units, and restoring the size to illustrate their return to combat effectiveness on escape, was a very effective use of simple graphics to convey a nuanced situation.

This gives me hope that someone may think "Maybe Stalin and USSR leadership wasnt idiots?". WW2 was difficulty=hard, no questions, but Soviets managed to develop backward country that lost to Japan before WW1, and cant even supply its troops with basic supplies in the end of WW1, ruined even more after Civil war+Foreign troops invasion into industrial country that managed to survive insane blows in WW2, transfer this new industry to eastern regions and increase production even more. This difficultylvl=insane. And even more insane considering that soon after the war, burnt, ruined and pillaged country that lost 27 mil lives managed to create nuclear bomb. If you love WW2 history, most likely you will love to learn more about Soviet leadership, there is lots remarkable things there. I think this ppl at least deserve fair view on their deeds.

@G E T R E K T 905 kinda, but you cannot say US won. 80% of german casualties were on the Eastern Front. When the US landed on D-Day, USSR already destroyed german armies and had entered some of Konigsberg. They had liberated eastern europe and depleted resources. They also started using better strategy and recovered their old strength which made them dependent on US less than they were in 41-42. They also completed most of their military recovery which allowed them to advance deeper. But yea, both the US and USSR were the key to Allied victory ( UK too because of their african and asian campaigns while liberating South East Asia )

The amount of data in this is insane.

I really see these videos as groundbreaking work. Finally someone uses the digital media and digital tools to create something new and worthwhile in the context of (military) history. Amazing, or maybe also worrying, that it was created by private person(s) and not "official" historians. I hope it inspires more stuff like this. Maybe even the same but on divisional level? That would be so great!

These videos are absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your effort!

It's just that,with heavy rains common in October causing thick mud on a sketchy road patchwork spread over vast distances and the coming of snow,ice and seriously sub-zero temperatures between November and at least February the Russian winter was a factor that could be used to the Red Army's advantage and caught the Germans not fully prepared or equipped.

Ralph Jackson the advantage for the Nazis was the whole European fascist alliance against Russia which was still suffering from civil war, but instead of everything (the fact that the whole Europe - without few countries) they still have won the war. Whole fascist Europe could not take 5% of Russian territory and were already destroyed on the Russian periphery, border, in Stalingrad.Winter was not eternal from 1939 to 1945. Do you think that winter was not stopping the Russians from destroying Nazis? Millions of people (before that healthy, young) froze to death becouse of the occupation of Leningrad.

Never have I ever ... stared at moving boxes and bubbles in such amazement. Great job!

I'm really looking forward to see next chapter!

8:00 KIROVOGRAD. We have heard stories about the fierce defence capabilities of US airborne at Bastogne and British airborne in Arnhem. Here we have the German 2nd airborne aiding the defence of Kirovograd (as element of 11th Infantry Corp shown on the map) until spring while being vastly outnumbered and armed only with Panzerschrecks against Soviet tanks, losing half of the division in the process. The division would then be redeployed to fight against the D-Day invasion in Normandy, as seen in Band of Brothers episode 3. The German 1st airborne is more well know. See 10:35, in Italy. Monte Cassino.

0:46 my Grandpa was a Marshal (an Italian rank equivalent to an American Sergeant Major) in the Italian expeditionary force in Russia. He took part in the battles in the caucasus and Eastern Ukraine, before the force was recalled to Italy due to the allied invasion. During a skirmish with the Soviet forces, a comrade of his was wounded. He carried him for kilometres before becoming exhausted, and told him "I'll make sure someone comes to aid you", before being forced to leave him below a tree. Years later, after the war, the two met again.

German siege of Sevastopol lasted for more than half a year, from October 30, 1941 to July 4, 1942. Soviet siege of Sevastopol ended in less than two weeks and the city was captured on May 9, 1944.

It's the same with Koenigsberg. Hitler turned the city into a fortress and said that the Russians had defended Sevastopol for 8 months, and the Germans could defend Konigsberg for even longer. When the Russians approached Konigsberg, they dropped leaflets over the city: "we defended Sevastopol for 8 months, and took it in 2 weeks. We will also take Koenigsberg in 2 weeks." And they kept their word, taking Konigsberg even faster.

Sevastopol was THE soviet naval base, one of the strongest if not the strongest fortress of its time with loads of elite entrenched troops, supplies, heavy bunkers and giant coastal artillery, yet the Germans systematically took it. Königsberg was nothing more than a regular city with a bunch of German civilians as a "militia" against the massive Soviet heavy artillery and airforce in 1945. Hitler may have designated it as a fortress, but it lacked everything Sevastopol had in comparison.
