@@brianbreen1026 In terms of total casualties, you may be correct although estimates differ. But the Russians sustained 650,000 casualties in the defense of Moscow from September 30 to November 5, 1941. A mere five weeks. In the ensuing counter-offensive, two months, the Soviets lost another 370,000 or so. Around 1,000,000, about what they lost at Stalingrad. Obviously, the Germans lost way more at Stalingrad than at Moscow but for the Soviets, the total casualties were comparable. While both battles were enormously important, I would actually rank Moscow as the most significant single battle of that war - that’s where the tide turned against Germany. If Moscow had fallen, the SU would have fallen as well. Stalin’s decision to remain in Moscow and defend it may have been the most important decision he ever made in his life. For the SU and for the world.

Just 80 years ago. Mindblowing.

Many deaths occured in his prisoner of war camp of malnutrition and he lost 80 pounds of body weight moving around different Russian labour camps. Fortunately he became one of the few survivors to finally return to Germany in the mid 1950s His younger brother survived through the war as a loader for the Jagdtiger in the 512th heavy tank destroyer battalion and surrendered to the Americans in May 1945.

Your numbers are way off….a commission convened by the West German government in 1962 reported that about 3 million German soldiers were taken prisoner by the Soviet Union, most of them in the last year of the war. They believed that 1,094,250 died in Soviet NKDV camps. The German historian Rüdiger Overmans agrees with the above report published in 1974, but his research indicated that “only” 363,000 German deaths can be confirmed based on the files in the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt), but that the further 700,000 military personnel still unaccounted for when his study was published in 2000 almost certainly died the same way. The numbers vary according to country, naturally, but if you check out the Wikipedia article, everything is spelled out there. The article is entitled, “German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union,” and I’ve checked the sources which all seem to be sound. I have no idea where you got the figure of only 91,000, but that’s why it’s always good to double check figures before including them in a public forum.

Stalingrad holding out allowed Army Group South to escape the Caucasus, around one million soldiers + equipment. Presumably Stalin would have been asking his generals to take Rostov thereby blocking the main escape route other than across the sea to the Crimea but by this time Stalin had learned to listen to his generals.

Brutal conditions, and very brave soldiers! They don't make them like that anymore. On top of all the human death, about 5 million horses died as well.

18:17 Long-lens view of (E-shaped) School No. 34 near Krasnyi Oktyabr', with the oil tanks and Volga beyond. The E-shaped building (N 48.7547°, E 044.5492°) and some of the tanks are still standing in 2022.

Is this program part of the series "The War Years" broadcast in Canada in the 70's? I particularly recognize the synth score that accompanies.

Far more informative clips - scenes they don't seem to show any more. You tend to get an overview only.

The building sheltering the courtyard is still standing in 2021, southwest of Barrikadnaya & Kozlovskaya. The pattern (44:43) of windows is the same today, and can be seen from pedestrian-level with Google Maps.

Actually, his title wasn't General. It was Field Marshall. There were 24 Generals under him along with 2500 or so other officers. I find it so amazing that the Russians bagged that many high officers in liberating Stalingrad. And reading about how shocked the Russians were - they had never taken an officer that highly ranked nor so many before.

@@nobodyknows3180 The Russians captured that many officers because the German Army had fully abandoned leading from the front in Stalingrad...too deadly. Most of the brave (best) were dead by that last stage. Snipers weren't the only threat but they were a major factor. That and it's cold outside.

Hi BunzeeBear, my guess is that the German footage was done by journalists from Goebbels propaganda ministry (which would be shown in theatres to the German public), while the Russian footage was by journalists of the Stalinist Soviet propaganda ministry. Either way, they would have had to have been pretty brave to endure that kind of in the thick of things coverage.

It's an incredible shame how many soldiers had to die on both sides because their leaders were completely and clinically insane.

I'm sincerely grateful I missed it.

Camera person manages to evade the bombs and bullets camera seem to be rolling while everything around it turning into dust i would love some knowledge about how on earth they managed to say alive

Konstantin Simonov was not a soldier who became a writer. He was already a published poet and playwright in 1936, and during the war he was a correspondent of the Red Army paper, Krasnaya Zvezda. In fact he had already been a war correspondent at Khalkin Gol in '39. Vassil Grossmann was another great writer who was a war correspondent at Stalingrad.

Stalingrad was an inevitable disaster since every front had serious issues not with oil but with reinforcement and supply. That's why the soviets easily trapped the Germans when they split up to take the oil fields.The Germans made it to Moscow but they were easily pushed back.

It’s a shame that the courageous young women from the tank factory weren’t mentioned. The army was waiting desperately for reinforcements and had nothing to counter the German tanks. Whoever was in charge decided to turn antiaircraft guns against the tanks, and the young women volunteered to “man” them for as long as it took. They were all killed-every single one-but they managed to give their soldiers some cover as they waited for reinforcements.
