Hey I know you might not be checking comments on old videos but what mic tripod is that? I need one
Dude your pronunciation is terrible, do some research on how to pronounce luftwaffe, Zukov, etc...
@Papa Stalin спасибо товарищ
На Берлин!))
Terrible video. Zero animation. It looks like it was made by a 12yr old for 8yr olds
my wife was a sniper there for the wehrmacht. she wasn't a keen nazi but went along with it to try and persue her dream of being a sniper. she is still alive
Congrats on 1 million subs
7:42 "the enemy at the gates" Stalingrad fountain.
1:50 Well, I once read an account that Stalin actually did try to flee from Moscow. I love USSR btw. He forced the others to fight till their death. Donno if it’s true
Why is there soviet propoganda behind you?
This is so different than newer video
wait people actually watch these videos for fun? im here for hw
They should've left the Caucus and let Rommel go to Stalingrad
When ever I watch a video about Wehrmacht vs Red Army, I think of a HUGE Black Monster going up against a Red giant :P
Russian army have alot of knowledge of surviving surroundings even without supplies if there is emergency.
Gosh the audio on this channel is always nonexistent. I’m playing this on a speaker and i can barely hear
1:35 thats a lie, german tanks were mostly regular fuel tanks, the russians were diesel
Do the battle of Kursk!!!!!
4:10 in the end it was russians who settled in germany
Operation - UR Anus!
Rommel and Paulus were the most honorable German generals.
Hitler was a hack
RIP to the 27 million soviets that gave their all fighting the Nazis
This man recording in his school
My great grandfather died in that battle as a medical officer of the german army. (I don't know exactly how, I think his ambulance car drove over a mine)
General Paulus wanted to break out! He knew that if they stay there it will be disastrous. He begged(!) the army command to be able to to that. He was NOT afraid to break out, he just subordinates to the (bad) orders!
He should have died as an honorable soldier, just as the defenders of Berlin did.
I love history
The author forgot to mention that at the beginning of the Stalingrad battle, the German 6th army had 250 thousand people. And in two Soviet armies in the city - 50 thousand each. The Russian army were much smaller in number than the German one, as is the division. The battle of Stalingrad is called the confrontation of the fronts 500km long near Stalingrad, and the number of people in these fronts is called. But there were much fewer people in the city itself. There weren't millions. This is a small city, it is impossible to accommodate so many people there. The Russians held the city in a minority. And they managed to realize the numerical advantage to encircle the enemy at the second stage. Pure strategic victory. Although if listen to the Germans - they killed more Russians than there were. And definitely won. Well almost. As for the dead prisoners, this is a tragedy. Nobody wanted that. The fighting destroyed all roads in the vicinity, and supplies were destroyed. There was no transport to send 100 thousand people at once to the rear. The condition of the prisoners was catastrophic. I will not describe this shame here, read memoirs, to which the vaunted German discipline and order descended.
Stupid nazis winters for Russians
German army attacks stalingrad Geman army: why do I hear boss music?
Video starts at 1:21
You just make $$$ there’s always so many ads on your videos, 2 after another as well
My grandfather was fighting there in Stalingrad light infantry lost all the finger on his hands and legs due to froze bite. He was part of Soviet Army.
Excellent presentation of history, facts, BUT -- you've really must bring in consultants to review your pronunciation of German and Russian names and words. Your mangling of German and Russian is difficult to bear, and detracts from the authenticity/accuracy of your history. Wouldn't hurt to have an English language editor review your regular script copy as well. Although I must admit, you got SIGH-KNOW Japanese War right. But please fix this in future videos
Russia was a different type of animal Germany could not defeat
6:32 ping 999
"Before I tell you about one of the bloodiest battles ever fought, let me tell you about Skillshare!"
8:07 im sorry but operation uranus LMFAO
Why did they attacked the city? That was the absolute opposite of blitzkrieg.
6:32 at this point the British were like: *"you wanna fight with air, I'll fight with air"*
One of the best cod missions ever was taking the hill in stalingrad
Everybody is a gangsta until winter starts speaking Russian
7:38 there’s a sniper playing dead inside that fountain
World at War reference... also don't forget about Dimitri, he was there too
Dr. Donald has compelling intelligence implicating Russia.
Germany had a great defeat before Stalingrad. The Battle of Moscow was a total defeat for Germany.
My great grandfather died in stalingard
The Russian military is so freaking badass.
Armchair Historian: Its like we're official with Skillshare, an American... Stalin loved armchair historian, who just branded himself American. This action angered stalin, who punished him severly
How dare you pronounce names, places in an english accent? Shuikov? Who the hell is he supposed to be? At least try to pronounce the name in his mothertongue: zukhov
Anton Dragon?? Is he supposed to be an american spy? Why do the high quality videos have such a butchering of languages?
People just
It's funny when they talk about harsh Russian winters when, in fact, areas around Moscow\Stalingrad aren't known here in Russia for being harsh at all. Relatively mild winters tbh. Quite far away from Siberia. Napoleon bitched about losing due to harsh Russian winter, but it was actually just -12C in that month. Compare to Siberia's -40C/-50C being the norm.
excellent russian documentary series Soviet Storm, in english trvision.net/detail/video-csaCO3DzhQ0.html
Mate, thanks for the video, and I am glad to see that TIK's videos for research purposes, which leads me to my next point/question, how the heck did you figure out that Germans "were halted near Moscow due to extreme weather conditions"? So, let me get this straight, the "extreme weather conditions" was the only/the most important factor that lead to German defeat at Moscow in 1941? Oh and btw, the Stalingrad battle started mid July, not late August, as you are suggesting. I believe TIK also mentions that in his videos as well, apart from the "winter argument"
Von stroheim will be remembered
My grandfather was born before the war
Why Germany need caucasses??
Oil
The Nazis were stopped by the end of November 1941. The frost began in December.
dodnes neexistuje žiadna odpoveď ako prežil bombardovanie a 30 atentátov niekomu stačí ná atentát jeden pokus
мне бь хотелось слушать ету историю на русском язике от руского, чий дед воевал у Волги в 1942 году ...
You have 800k subs
It’s sounds like the Russians are holding you at gunpoint to make this video
What happens to your background looks like you where moved to a Russian gulag in Siberia
communists are way worse than nazis but shhh, writers write history
Griffin is cool. I love watching his videos
Anyone know where i can find the Music towards the end ?
A channel named "The Armchair Historian" (awesome name, btw), but you're not in an armchair... ;-)
I’m Romainian and im happen when i hear my country name
Japan did not attack because they got absolutely destroyed by the Red Army in 1939. and not only fear of the Red Army but attacking USA while fighting in China and having their own oil and supply lines crisis ensured Japanese will stay out of that theater.
My Granduncle died there He was Hauptmann in the SS (And yes He was a Na*i and My Family isnt very proud of him)
@I like history and things like that "I like sucking and things like that"
@I like history and things like that smd
he can be pround, he stand against stalin hordes
my grandgrandgrandma died by a bomb in ww2 she was russian :/
Germans had no business at Stalingrad. They needed oil but didn't go for it. How stupid is that?
@James12345 James the Volga was very good for transporting the oil, and the city was close to the caucuses, if the Germans left it, the soviets could of used it to stage counter attacks.
@Peanut my opinion the city had nothing, Volga is just water. They needed oil but didn't go for it. When they decided to go was too late.
the city had stalin’s name it would be a huge moral blow, and would be a very important city cuz it had acces to the volga
Why does hitler in thumbnail looks like hes 20
Never leave your flanks to the Romanians
