Great video! I am glad you back

Donkey the Merciless 😂

Don't rely on these earlier Soviet numbers. The Soviets about always would purposely undercount their own forces while making up wild claims of great German losses. This was flat out propaganda, to make themselves look like plucky underdogs while inflating the German's numbers. I've read so many books by varyious historians, telling the reader to be wary of such lies, for that is what they were.

wow good to see you back

Geniuenly relieved to see you back. Seriously thought you had died or something.

buying gf 10k gp

amazing, i never hear about the story of joan of arc but see her referenced often! maybe its coz i grew up in the uk? great humour and engaging! thx!

Deserves more views this is gold

I know her story because of Age of Empires II.

You will get better man! The tone has changed, but the topic is really interesting

Thanks!

Beautiful

Moscow = just a city. No value but propaganda and moral. South had oil,wheat,coal...all the necessity's for German warmachine that was lacking all resources.

Great video about this very little know battle and your graphics help a lot to understand this. Maybe you could update this video using a period map showing the road network & terrain and also talk about what specific what Luftwaffe units were involved as we as a comparison of ALL the tanks involved and talk about the armaments and speeds of them and not just glance over the armor. @06:49-07:10 You show the Soviet 15th Mech Corp arriving and then moving northward off the map and in your summation, you state that it lost 91% of its tanks, so who did they engage with and at what location off map? @09:40 Notice how all of the Soviet tanks are in retreat mode, but all of their turrets are facing rearward.

kyiv, not kiev

If Germany had gone into the war with 75mm as a default caliber on their weaponry as Guderian and Hitler wanted, could you imagine the difference?

I suggest that Soviet Union might continue fighting not only after the fall of Moscow, but even if Stalin was not anymore in power. Previous events were of such nature that to stop fighting by Soviet Union was not possible.

I understand that your busy, but your videos were really good. Thanks I hope you return with new material.

How did the German Army suffer comparatively high casualties, with total losses of ~15k, versus Soviet losses of ~416k (the casualty statistics as given in the video)? The ratio of Red Army personnel lost per each individual Axis loss is 28:1. Of the total losses suffered, 97% were Soviet losses and 3% were Axis losses. The German formations involved lost 2% of their personnel, while the Soviet formations lost 60% of their total strength. I can't come up with a way of breaking down the casualty figures which would indicate the comparatively high German losses alluded to in the video...just saying. I do appreciate the visual format of the content, as those less spacially-inclined (such as myself) find it difficult to envision many verbal or written descriptions of geography, troop movements and positions without visual context :)

Well done. Subscribed. Very good stuff. You should play Gates of Hell Ostfront on PC. You could use it to supplement your diagrams/maps/data. It’s also the finest WW2 game ever made.

Unfortunately you are wrong in many places

Great content, you inspired me to create ww2 map videos! Cheers. Keep up the great quality

Great episode! Great content

I am not sure this is the best example. They are both tactical in nature because they are considered on the small time scale. A better example would have been if you zoomed out of the battlefield and showed what the rest of the situation looked like to both sides. For example, despite Billy being able to hold off the army thanks to his tactical retreat it might have not mattered due to the other side having sufficient supply lines and the ability to bypass the castle alltogether. That would be stragetic victory, thereby subdueing the enemy without fighting.

Great series! I modeled my own series on ww2 after seeing your videos. Great stuff man

Stalin killed/murdered the officers that would have been in this battle. Stalin therefore caused the defeat of commie/socialists. The failure of the Soviet 15th and 37th divisions doomed the commie/socialists to defeat. The commie/socialists lost useless "toy tanks" much as the US lost mostly useless ships at Pearl Harbor.

Great series! I am creating one as well for YT, your one of my benchmarks for quality! Cheers.

You make an interesting comment, paraphrasing 'Operation Barbarossa was doomed to failure. Even if Moscow was taken, the Russians could retreat to the east and the Soviets would keep fighting as long as Stalin was in charge'. The thing is, Stalin had decided to stay in Moscow against the counsel of his advisors, so the taking of Moscow would have resulted in his death or capture. I note that he did evacuate much of the government in mid-October to Kyubishev.

misinformed in some areas clearly you are not up to TikHistory but you are doing alright id say. One of the big mistakes is that the germans count every piece as destroyed even if its repairable. So a lot of tanks could be destroyed and some days later appear as functional and up to the task.

Interesting how the Germans had complete air superiority at the time when the Soviets lost a total of 1700 aircraft. These planes must have put up some sort of a fight, or probably most might have been destroyed on the ground.

Germany actually saved Europe. The communists had plans for fullscale invasion. Wake up people!

Decree 33 was a sign that the German army was not strong enough to succeed overall.

10:00 ...You are wrong!... And you repeat the same mistake several times!... Even Soviet era movies... (made after the death of Stalin!...) give a better explanation of what happened to the Soviet Air Force close to the western border of the Soviet Union... For example what happened at BREST...

Really a great job... thank you guy! 😊

0:20 is that a tiger in the background?

A real hidden gem of a video series, I still love coming back to it years later.

Oh, nice work. Sub'd

Please explain why encircling is sth bad at all, and show the routes of supply on your maps. It took me a lot of videos and reading to understand this aspect, that nobody seems to explain somehow. Very different from ancient warfare where commanders were actually trying to let the enemy flee rather than catching them

Don't forget that after Nikolai Vashugin ordered Popel's counterattack and gave him hope that Ryabyshev would find his reinforcements later commited suicide in front of Kruschev after the 8th Mechanized was completely annihilated

Ultimate badass
