Stalin's Breakthrough in the East | Countdown to Surrender - The Last 100 Days | Ep. 1

On January 28th, 1945, the total war advocated by Goebbels retaliates against the Fatherland in a dramatic climax on German soil. This marks the onset of a hundred days of horror and death, surpassing the toll of lives lost in all preceding years of the war.
Stalin's forces advance relentlessly in the east, rendering the Wehrmacht powerless against such overwhelming might. In a radio broadcast, Adolf Hitler addresses his people, rallying them for a "fight of destiny." Meanwhile, fleets of Allied bombers bombard the capital of Berlin and obliterate the overcrowded city of Dresden, filled with refugees. From the west, the Allies march towards the Rhine, but the Wehrmacht has strategically destroyed all bridges, leaving only one intact.

    Ok, it is great you have put these simpler 'storyline based' docos out for people who are just learning about this horror. Extra kudos for getting it through copyright & putting it on a crime channel, you never know 'til you try! =) Negatives: It is an ABC rehash of what have become WW2 memes. Relatively unimportant stuff in 1945 gets lots of time. But hugely important decision makers, not known to US audiences, don't get a mention, just the 'usual subjects'. I'm being over-critical, HGW is my subject, thanks for posting. _[ps: your "Last Battles" thumbnail is missing an "s" in "Battles".]_

    I have always wondered why did Germans never use the V1 and V2 as a tactical weapon other than firing a few at the bridge at Ramada when it fell into US hands. Seems like a misdirection of a long-range resource that they should have deployed in a more advantageous manner. And it is kind of puzzling that the US air fleets that were bombing Japan, was under strict orders not to drop anything within 3 mi of the Royal Palace where the Japanese Prince reside at, but I'm not sure if they were actually targeting Hitler's bunker in the center of Berlin. It should have been easy to take out with one of those grand slam Blockbuster bombs.

    Both were true, the two aren’t inseparable. Britain and the rest of the west can be brutalizing Africa and Asia while also being the defenders of democratic government in the war against fascist expansionism. You can see this contrast historically with any country’s foreign and domestic policies. Britain had the freest system of government in the world in the 18th century, and yet it was participating in the global conquest. America was the freest and most advanced country in the world in the mid-20th century, and yet it was simultaneously annihilating Indochina. GK Chesterton held a similar philosophy regarding Britain and Ireland. He supported Britain’s efforts in WWI against Germany, while also supporting Ireland’s war for independence from Britain. Why? Because Britain were the good guys in the war against Germany but the bad guys in their repression of Ireland.

It was defeat C word and create as much of a buffer zone from what we’ll let Stallin have and us. If in reference to that war campaign then I’d agree w/ my pubbin Tom’s that THEY did win the war Best believe Tommy and em Yankees wanted SU ability to scale and launch offensives to be depleted as much as possible upon reaching Germany. Keeping that C word stuff as far away as possible. Smiling to his face w/ Fat man and Little Boy behind our back waiting for him to try something funny

    It wasn't just the last 100 days in which the Soviets made the most significant contribution of the allies. Britain's fight for the first year was of the highest order but after that the British and soon after American efforts vs Germany were supplementary to what the Soviets endured and accomplished.

    @@justinkauffman731 think some shoulda told the Germans that’s lol. They had some 140 divisions deployed on the Eastern Front and never broke more than 50 divisions deployed on the Western front at one time. That includes their Italian and Finnish divisions and some others I’m sure. Also like the divisions faced at the Normandy landings, many of the unfit or or the lowest quality soldiers were who made up the Western divisions aside from your occasional SS divisions. Mostly practicality reasons. In order to attack from the West you’d have to come from the sea which clearly isn’t near as easy or as quick as walking through the nice flat regions of the East. It was only a handful of German divisions that slaughtered the Allie’s in Sicily

    Churchill was an overgrown public schoolboy then goes on to say he had... (im paraphrasing here) great satisfaction come over his face when he pissed into Germany im asking myself is that supposed to be some sort of indictment on public school educated kids dont get me wrong the public schools in america today are broken but i came out of public school and think im doing fine but it just seemed to me he had some sorta problem with public school educated kids he was probably a prep school kid or private school kid and probably went to the best college and so it almost seems as if hes looking down his ivy league school nose at everyone else who couldnt afford the schools his parents could
