Schlacht um Moskau 1941 – Deutschland gegen die Sowjetunion [HD Footage] | Deutscher Vormarsch in Richtung Moskau und sowjetischer Gegenangriff.

The wehraboo cope when it comes to the failure of Barbarossa is always funny to me.

“Well it was down to the rain and cold, you know! The Germans weren’t prepared for the climate!”

Oh, I’m sorry. The Germans invaded the USSR, the geography, climate, and weather patterns of which have been known for thousands of years, and were *totally caught off guard* by the weather. It totally wasn’t the overconfident, overmachismo’d Nazi commanders who overextended themselves, outran their supply lines, and ignored the ongoing attrition of their forces.

I want to see the timeline where Halder was executed in 1945 and we didn’t have to deal with his insufferable, self-promoting take on history being taken as the standard.

do it again, Germany… I fucken dare ya!

I still strongly believe that if Hitler wouldn’t have set Operation Barbarosa in motion, that the Axis could have won WWII. I read the loooong biography on Hitler a few months ago (“Hitler” by Ian Kershaw), and was rather surprised just how little military knowledge he had, and just how arrogant he was. I mean I sorta knew these things, but the book really gets into detail of Hitler’s many, many poor decisions. I highly recommend it, if you have 40 hours to spare that is.
