      Firstly, you neglected to mention the French Waffen SS volunteers. They assisted the remaining German forces during the Battle of Berlin. However, this mistake isn’t too surprising since the foreign SS division and legions are rarely mentioned when WW2 is discussed in the modern era. Secondly, the use of German made Panzerfaust M60 wasn’t mentioned. This weapon was used heavily by the defending Axis forces during this battle. However, this specific video was enjoyable and accurate despite these two minor errors.

Do you find any credit to this ir do you think it's a case of big foot syndrome?

      Julio Víctor Manuel Schaeffer Manrique then again, considering what the Nazi’s did all across the USSR, he may have not cared. The Eastern Front was known for the lack of care on each side for life and property. The Nazi’s raped and marauded though Russia. Many of them wanted revenge. And the Soviets got there revenge in Berlin. Least I’m pretty sure I would be that way after putting up with all of that

    I work in an elderly care facility. A 100 year old lady who was a nurse back then, told me about the night the Russians closed in on Berlin where she was assigned to a hospital. I'll never forget that eerie feeling her story gave me. She was scared that the Red Army may kill the wounded soldiers in her care, who at that moment were elderly men and boys. As I remember it, no one was harmed. I'll never forget the old lady either, god rest her soul.

      Ohh and BTW you talk about this situation as if the soviets were the evil ones and the Germans were the good ones ("barbarous Bolshevik hordes"). Wtf, Germany litteraly invaded the soviet union, killed in cold blood thousands of innocent civilians by litteraly executing them or sending them to extermination camps were they would be either gazed or burned alive, also killed children and women btw. After that, I'm gonna say that whatever they did in Germany was justified, most of these soldiers litteraly went through hell too because of the Germans.

    Far fewer German troops fought in the Battle of Berlin than were actually available at the end. Most German commanders ignored Hitler's commands to march east and marched west instead to surrender to the Allies. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians actually escaped Berlin and made their way west to the Elbe by breaking through the *three lines* of Soviet encirclement at the end of April.
    All these forces were not going to be dragged into Hitler's attempted apocalypse and the city he intended to make his funeral pyre.

What the Soviets *did* have a lot of, was equipment, thanks to their powerhouse industry. Add lend lease aid to compensate for scorched earth and moving factories eastward, and the entire USSR turns into an enormous muddy fortress. Military numerical superiority was irrelevant at that point.
      Numbers *do* lie because they can be fiddled with, they are statistics after all and it depends on what the person giving the numbers wants to display. Most German generals blamed their strategic failure in the Eastern Front on "Soviet hordes of endless men" but that makes perfect sense since as a military general writing your memoirs after a lost war, you'd want to preserve as much of your pride as possible.

      If Germany just not acted as arrogant assholes in the occupied territories the Russians would bring Stalin's head in a silver plate for him. Their own stupid ideology defeated them. Stalin was not better than Hitler. He was a paranoid, bloodthirsty monster too and his sane comrades hated him.
      Bytw Germany needed the oil fields, more than the capital but they alienated the locals and well... they fucked up them as much as they just could as they rather serve their own unpredictable monster. Same as in other occupied countries. Both of them where terrible. Communist continued to kill the Jews, ethnics, gays, political enemies and random peoples just as the Nazis did it was just not propagated.
      My grandparents remember our German "allies" as invader pests and the Red Army as liberators. Their soldiers actually acted like people and not like overlords.

      We're sorry you didn't like our video. The problem we ran into was that this battle lasted just two weeks, as opposed to Stalingrad which was over five months. Stalingrad, therefore, is much easier to animate because divisions stay in one location for a long enough time to properly animate. Another problem is that a lot of the troops defending Berlin were Volkssturm and militia. Exact troop positions are hard to find for the Germans.

      By the time America entered the war, it was already over for the Reich. The Germans inhuman brutality ensured they would never receive peace, and without the oil from the Caucasus, they would never have won. The extra fronts supplied by allies like Finland stretched the Soviets thin; without them Germany has even less of a chance for victory then they did in real life.

    Never forget that Hitler sold his "operation Barbarossa" as a great war against communism, a lot of Young guys from western Europe went to Germany and voluntary joined the Werhmacht to fight communism and also becasue in 1941 they didn't realise that the IIId Reich was Doomed.
    Not to forget that the invasion of Russia was not only a German operation at all, Finland, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia were Hitler's allies and represented a third of the whole war effort.

      But still it was Super Sad to see a man in control of much of Europe , than living his last moments while his capital Was bombed to hell his people Just want the war to end and Alot of them died before seeing that , Beeing serrounded from the east and west at the same time , low on Fuel , Ammo , and Fighting force , No form of control and command and strength , the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe Beeing shadows of their past , I know what they have done is so bad but not all of them were Die hard Nazis and murderers some of them were just defending their country to the end , Germany and the USSR paid the ultimate Price in ww2 and Espicially Germany in terms of distruction ,Rape, Hunger, humiliation, Defeat , and weakness

    It was still crazy to think that when the soviets were closing in around Berlin, with more allies coming from the west, Hitler still thought he could win, unfortunately he learned it the hard way

      He didn't think he would win actually, that is a myth just how people think the Nazis were aiming to take over the world when Hitler and Albert Speer literally had a plan for the Großedeutsches Reich that you can find online that was just central Europe, Scandinavia, and Western Russia. He was hoping that he would get a scenario like when European Armies were knocking on Berlin's gates when Frederich the Great was the leader of Prussia, which in that time, the invading armies fell apart due to the death of a leader. When Roosevelt died, it made him hopeful, but he soon realized that it was a lost cause. The Nazis and Hitler thought that if the Germans couldn't win such a war as WW2, then they don't deserve to exist. Thus they planned on having all of the German population mobilize and go out with a bang facing the invaders, and when they could no longer command, they would kill themselves.

      the SS were some of the lowest dredges of human depravity to ever walk this earth, each and every one of them should have been rightly been shot on sight, i believe this is common across all nations, even the americans were known to not take any SS prisoners, and shoot all on sight, especially in the liberation of the concentration camps.

      killerklinge52 France also fell in a month but it had better technology and more manpower. “Poland was weak in WW2” hmm, I wonder why maybe because it was only a country for two decades. Do you even know what the Polish Underground State was doing in the time of the occupation. Also we were in the Battle of Berlin. It was hidden by the Soviets to other nations but to Poland because it wanted to have good ties with Poles.
