The Crushing Defeat of the German Center and North Army Group in 1944 | Complete series

Ойын-сауық

How was the Soviet offensive that completely destroyed the German Center Army Group in the summer of 1944? Why was it so effective and forceful? How did the Germans react? Did Walter Model have something to do with it? What happened to the German armored reserves? How did the 1944 Minsk battle unfold? What happened to Army Group North trapped in Courland? Later in this program, we are going to analyze all these events, and we are going to get a good idea of what happened in the summer of 1944 on the eastern front...

Operation BARBAROSSA covered the entire eastern Europe and western front while operation bagration was a small area and a small amount of soldiers compared. The allies had already destroyed most of the kregmarines, the luftwaffa, the German economy and 90 PERCENT of Germanys oil at this point. The US ended up taking down almost 5 million German soldiers and 20,000 anti tank weapons were pulled from Russia and sent back to Germany to fight allied bombings. Before bagration millions of soldiers had been pulled off the eastern front especially off of the central line and sent back to try to stop allied advancement.

    Army group north has witnessed the least fighting of all eastern front units hence they still had many highly experienced soldiers and good organization. They held out for so long because they were good, but a main reason was that they were sidelined for the battle of Germany anyways, so there was no strategic intent for the soviets to force their destruction.

The luftwaffa and kregmarine had hundreds of thousands of prime age men sent to fight in the front because they have no aviation fuel and the resources to keep them going. Hitler often sent his best SS units as well as his most trained soldiers to the west because he was convinced the west had the better soldiers and he refused to believe Russia could keep producing so many people. He never knew about Americas Germany first policy and was not convinced the US could produce so much war material so fast. The entire out of soldiers nonsense is a myth. Why you think that is because Berlin got cut off and the old men and boys in that region were rounded up and used as soldiers. Scattered across northern Italy and southern Europe as well as northern, central and south Germany, islands across around Europe, Norway and northern Europe had large formations of German soldiers trapped and unable to get to Berlin.

    The problem for Germany (and its allies, while they lasted) and why keeping those various pockets, rather than have those troops retreat, didn’t result in hindering the Soviets much, or the allies in the west when it was done there, was that the Soviets and western allies had so many more troops and armor that they could assault these pockets and continue their advances everywhere else at the same time. If the sides had been more equal, then that might have worked and their enemies would have been significantly slowed down, giving the Axis more time to bring up reserves and build more armor. But Hitler didn’t understand the difference in proportion between the Axis and the Allies.

    The Wehrmacht had about 400,000 personnel stationed in Norway during 1944 - 45 I wonder if them and there equipment could have made any difference in what was happening on all front’s . I mean south west and east not to mention all that had been lost in Africa Italy courland

    @@rigasarzemnieks4230 Two uneducated men. Model was a total disaster, his victories at Rhzev were'nt his, he had the best panzer divisions at his disposal whereas Paulus had fewer, hence why Paulus could'nt protect his flanks properly while Model could, because Model had more Panzer divisions in 1942. Model was a total disaster in 1943 during operation Cidatel, he convinced Hitler to postponed the attack over and over again when Manstein wanted to attack as soon as possible. In 1944 Model was the brains behind the disaster of army group center, he urged Hitler to send all Panzer divisions to army group North Ukraine because he anticipated the next Soviet attack to occur there, of course when the Germans realized that the real attack was coming from Minsk it was too late and Army group Center and North were doomed. Model failed to carry out successful counter attacks in Holland after Monty failed operation Market Garden losing many needed Panther tanks and special Luftwaffe forces in the proccess. So many uneducated people worshiping Model for reasons that can be summed as, poor insights, education and lack of knowledge about who'se responsible for failed decisions that were made from 1943 and onwards. Model was never at the same level as Manstein or Even Rommel. Just an overhyped overrated dude.

    What was the greatest WW2 German defeat? Obviously the 1945 capitulation. But what was the greatest military defeat? 5. Kursk, although not a true defeat Germany used up vast resources which if kept may have blunted Bagration. 4. Stalingrad, a whole German army and months of war production were destroyed but the Kessel bought time to allow a huge German army in the Caucuses to escape through Rostov which presumably Stalin must have been urging his generals to seize and block their easy retreat but by this time he listened. 3. France 44. Where more soldiers and equipment were lost than in Stalingrad. 2. Bagration. Army Group Centre completely destroyed. 1. Barbarossa. The German failure to end the war in 1941 meant the war was ultimately doomed to end in Germany’s defeat. Also Germany lost many soldiers in the battle.

    German absolute leader had never had military training but he became extreme military leader of the German nation. This thing is strange in itself. 95% of fighting force were simple recruits and not regular soldiers. Lightning war was simple surprise attacks and very easy to win. When the counter attacks started, German forces got beaten everywhere and supreme commander hided himself først and then committed suicide as a common and coward thief. He totally lacked the courage of a common soldier to get hold of his rifle and collide with russian soldiers and die in combat.
