Operation Barbarossa - Army Group Center Animated Map
A new production of the FORCES - purdue.university/forces - initiative.
Battle movement of German and Soviet units during the early phases of Operation Barbarossa (July - September 1941). The map shows the German advances (left) against Russian defenders (right, symbols with stars). The map depicts division level units. The lines depict the average German (gray / black) advance and Soviety (red / pink) retreatbearings. After ten days of movement the battle stagnates just past Smolensk. The Soviet troops (marked with stars) resiliently block the advance of the German forces. The map also shows that the troop density at the front increases, rather than decreases, which is evidence of hard fi...

I need this!!
Is it ready?
Very interesting use of a probabilistic model. I guess it was trained on the known events of the day in order to produce an event baseline, which the model parameters have been calibrated to? It makes me wonder, there were doubtless many accounts of incredible heroism and singular action which on the day could have been the difference between success and failure of smaller events. In the framework that you are presenting here, would these actions be seen as outliers, which do make a larger impact? Or is capacity for individual heroism somehow parameterised into the calibrated model? Absolutely fascinating!
Imi place super mult Warlord Britannia
Ce frumos. Bravo!
interesting.
I love it! Though the only problem is that there are boat traps all the way up the beach. But other than that, I’m exited for the release!
Just a sales pitch.
We're is the simulation then ,
Coming up
As an englishman who has bee fascinated by d day for 40years this video is incredible🙌🙌🙌
This is incredible. So much potential here. Salute.
STOP this annoying music .this is only NOISE!
You can always mute it and set the CC.
Where can we find more information about this project? It looks an incredible tool.

I always wondered whether the UK and US gunships could have taken out those pill boxes long before the troops arrived at the beach?
They did try but it was’t easy… we are talking about meter thick, low lying structures that needed precise flat trajectories to take out through the gun ports… btw, we have the ships, too
To recreate the bombardment with any authenticity besides distance you have to factor in the sea state, light levels, wind direction and speed to get any idea of the difficulties of identifying and hitting a target. In reality after a few salvos the dust and smoke totally obscured the beach area making accurate gunnery almost impossible.
@@kevinclarkson7036 we use a probabilistic method that can estimate the effect of those factors for a large enough number of shots
Outstanding. I am awestruck by this.
That was Minute-by-Minute? 😂
Yes
The last section of Omaha before the Vierville exit had (and still has) a seawall and beach houses which don't appear in your simulation.
MORE!!! MORE MORE!!!
Coming... a demo version will be released on steam soon...
Bro cool channel, I’m going to sub 😎
Great job, I was wondering what happened to this project. What you've shown matches with many battle reports I've read, highly looking forward to more!
Soon you will see a simulation of what might've happened if the Germans had reserves
@@SorinAdamMatei will it be free?

interesting - so 1st and 2nd wave were not solely Higgins but also larger LCI or LCM which seemed like a good idea to carry M-4 tanks to the beach with the initial wave of troops - and wonder why Allied bombers did not lay a carpet of bombs on the german beach positions flying parallel to the beach while the navy was also bombarding
There was massive bombardment but the planes ended flying straight at the beach, instead of flying along it, dropping most of the ordinance inland. We will release soon a new version including some artillery and air preparation information
@@SorinAdamMatei hi hi - can't wait for your next video about D-Day. Had previously wondered why the Allies used the DD Tanks which were so unsuccessful on Omaha instead of just using a bigger landing craft that could carry tanks directly to the beaches. And if bombers flew parallel to the beach dropping their 500 lb. high explosive ordnance that strategy could have been more successful taking out many of the machine gun locations firing on the beaches. Of course, easy to say years after D-Day.
The weather conditions were so poor, low cloud drizzle and wind reduced visibility considerably as did the naval bombardment. Flying parallel to the coast would have exposed to considerable anti aircraft fire. The bombing was from medium level above the cloud, the aircrew were worried they may hit the first wave landing on the beach so delayed the drop by a few seconds. As a result most bombs landed up to 3 miles inland.
The 2nd Rangers were all landed by British crews in British made LCA's not Higgins boats (LCVP).
@@kevinclarkson7036True, but this is correctly noted in the animation.
I can’t wait to see the final results. I live in Bedford County - home of the “Bedford Boys”.
Great simulation! I hope to see a bird's eye view of the landings and can give me idea how it would have looked like in the actual battle.
When we will release it on Steam, you will be able to walk or fly or examine from any angle and distance... Will post a new version with an overview of the extent and detail level.

The result is very interesting. Good job! It seems that you have been using current terrain images to recreate the battlefields. Yet the vegetation was playing a tactical role for defense back then and may not look like today, especially along Omaha Beach. Regarding the Pointe du Hoc, the rocky point was connected the rest of the cliffs in 1944. I have several high definition 1944 air photographs you might be interested in if you want to go further in details. Also, it seems you have illustrated the Ranger assault initial plan with LCA's on both sides of the point, but on D-Day, Rangers landed only along the eastern cliffs. Best of luck with your project.
This is very much a work in progress. We are in the process of addressing those issues. Thanks a lot for your feedback
Not what they said in history class. Shame on written history and their presstitutues (media, teachers in high schools)
