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.

Question: What do you think about Hitler's remains being tested and found to be the remains of a female, also, what do you think of a Nazi pilot testifying during the Nuremburg trials that he did indeed transport Hitler to Argentina?

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.

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.

My great grandfather was close to finishing his service in the Soviet army when the war broke out, their division was pushed back from the main front to Stalingrad but then they gathered forces and encircled German forces there, after that their army marched from Stalingrad to Austria.

@@oranges9893 the iron cross was a medal given by the state. The reason Göring has one is because he was awarded the Iron Cross, not because of any censorship.
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.
In May, Admiral Donitz stalled on surrender negotiations in order to buy time to move German troops and civilians west. Eisenhower got him to stop stalling by threatening to close the Allied lines to the fleeing Germans, thus forcing them to surrender to the Soviets.
Don't forget that Himmler and Goering were attempting to seek a treaty with the Western allies under Hitlers nose. Oh and Feigelein was just having fun banging some whore and doing drugs and alcohol while the world crumbled... "Feigelen Feigelein Feigelein!!!!"

Comrade Russia Germany never lost a battle against the soviets having more casualties as the soviets. As mentioned in the video, they always got outnumbered badly
Hitler: “Not going to let them put me in some Russian zoo.” Stalin: “Well we’ll just put your skull in a file cabinet.” Hitler: “Wait while I poison my dog.”
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.
Imagine if there was an animated movie similar to the Soviet episode named The Secret War of Love, Death and Robots about the Battle of Berlin. Super realistic.
I’ve realized a lot after studying this conflict that the narrative of Russia’s inferior tactics and reliance on numerical superiority is grossly wrong. They were pretty smart cookies
Yes, but at the end of this conflict Stalin urge Zhukov to attack swiftly straight to Berlin as Allies are closing in from the West. Stalin did not trust Allies will grant the promise on the Conference before hence the large amount of casualties Soviets incurred at Battle of Seelow Heights and Battle of Berlin.
@@jorgeckert3162 No, it was not. The Soviets actually had a huge manpower shortage throughout the interwar period and WW2. 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.
Funny enough, Hitler wanted his armies to go for the oil fields in the Caucasus. It was Halder and the OKH (oberkommando des Heeres, or army command) that went for Moskow instead. They really hoped for the exact same outcome as the campaign in France, but didn't really take the size difference into account.
even if the german did capture moscow the soviets wouldn't even care in 1812 after napoleon capture moscow the russian keep fighting and they won the soviet will not surrender even if the capital is taken
Autit Rahman Khan USSR was ready to go against the Reich, starting a surprise invasion was the best choice and completely caught the red army unprepared... France was already dealt with and USSR came very close to death... Germany attacking too many countries is a stupid stereotype
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.

Realistically Germany never had a chance against the USSR. They never had the resources for such a long campaign. And they certainly didnt have the petro reserves.
@Dex4Sure thats what im talking about,if usa stood 100% neutral germany would have won the eastern Front for Sure, and later the Western front with britain
@Dex4Sure war 1vs1 means Nazis lose 1/3 of their troops as allies such as Italy, Hungary, Romania, Finland etc do not send troops to aid them, nor give them materials they desperately needed for the war (Romanian oil). The German goal was Grozny, they were stopped far from there. Lend lease was important but the bulk of it came after the Soviets had already achieved substantial victories (Moscow and Stalingrad)
@Dex4Sure German allies provided Hitler with over a million extra men and access to territory the Germans wouldn't have otherwise been able to invade from, such as Romania and Finland. Without Romanian oil the Germans could not have invaded. Aircraft, etc was not crucial to the Soviet war effort. Trucks and food were. However even without those, the Soviets would of won-defeat wasn't an option. Defeat for them meant extinction as a people; there could never be a defeat allowed. They would fight till the bitter end; Hitler gave them no choice.
@Dex4Sure Germany takes over Romania and immediately the USSR notices and actually prepares to either defend or invade the Reich. Germany invades Romania and Romania burns down the oil refineries and potentially asks the USSR for aid; Germany gets no surprise invasion of USSR. All while having yet another partisan threat behind their lines in line with Yugoslavia. 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.
@@KIRILL-fl7cp an exaggeration, but it depends on which phase you're counting. Seelow Heights was 10 to 1, but if you take all the German forces defending the greater Berlin area it was 4 to 1. The ratio once the city was surrounded was closer to 10 to 1.
Imagine being a soviet armour officer, surviving the Purges, Stalingrad, Kursk and the soviet offensives on the eastern front, only to be killed by fucking Volksturm with panzerfausts
Going to Berlin today, in the Mitte section, you can still see buildings with thousands of bullet marks on the walls. The amount of history in that city is awe inspiring
I hear you. My grandfather’s uncle’s mailman’s third cousin’s grocerer’s adoptive brother’s blacksmith’s nephew’s third wife’s stepson’s aunt’s cousin was there as well.
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
There were also some small pockets of resistance until May 8th by very tiny resistance groups of SS and patriotic citizens. That day was when it all ceased though.
Fun fact: The last men to defend Berlin were Frenchmen fighting under the SS. They were known as the SS Charlemange and inflicted immense damage to the Soviets.
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.

Overall briliant channel. Your map for the 1945 offensive is a bit off. By September 1944 soviets were at Warsaw (and they waited for the Warsaw uprising to bleed out), but on your map they were at river Bug instead of Vistula (Wisla). Btw. could you make a video about the Warsaw 1944 uprising, I'll bet it will get you subscribers.
Greg they didn't wait for the Warsaw uprising to bleed out, they just finished pushing hundreds of kilometers and the Soviet troops were dangerously low on attrition, pushing across the vistula would've been too dangerous and would be a military blunder.
Pretty sure Stalin held his forces back so the Germans could crush the Polish uprising, rendering Warsaw much easier to subjugate after the conquest of Germany.
@@Loup-mx7yt If the uprising was strong enough to hold for 63 days by people not even reasonably armed (1 in 10 was armed), than I'm sure the soviet push would be a blow. Why not use this uprising force on your side? The polish plan was to liberate Warsaw and then welcome the soviet forces in a liberated city under polish control. If the help was there they (the soviets) wouldn't be the liberators, which would put them in a worse position when discussing the borders after the war. Similar situations happened in Lviv (Soviets arrested some 5000 Polish soldiers who were sent to "Miedniki" gulag) and Vilnius (Stripped of their officers and confused, Polish units occupied the forests surrounding Wilno. According to current research, roughly 6,000 soldiers and over 5,000 volunteers were stationed in that area on 18 July. These were gradually encircled and captured by the Soviets... Indeed, British media censored stories about these Soviet actions by decree of Minister of Information Brendan Bracken. ) Given what happened earlier in the year in other cities I would say it wouldn't make a difference for Poland if soviets helped or not as the uprising force would be disarmed and high ranks either killed or sent far into soviet territory. Btw. the initial german number were in range of 13.000-25.000, and as the time passed up to 50.000, I don't think that was a significant force at this stage. In my and many others opinion, not helping and letting the poles bleed out was a plan in it self, to gain more territory with less issues in future. Anyway, would love to see Armchair Historian to show his view on this topic.
Here are a few facts about Warsaw uprising: - The Red Army unceasingly moved for 400 km, so she needed rest and reorganization. - Polish uprising was not agreed (!) with the command of Red Army and English (!!) government. - This uprising was organized by the anti-Soviet government in London, which wanted to liberate Warsaw on its own, in order to have good trump cards in further negotiations. - Stalin said that if the Polish side had informed him, he would have recommended to postpone it until the end of 1944. - Despite this, the Soviet command assisted Warsaw, sending supplying through the air corridor and starting unprepared attacks on positions near this city. Thus, the responsibility for the failure of this uprising lies entirely with the rulers in London.
@@killerklinge52 the most important is fact, that in 1945 Poland regain old western territories, after next war, Berlin will be a part of Poland as old Slavic region
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.
It is a big mistake to think that Hitler only had German soldiers in his armies. The last defenders of Berlin were a company of international soldiers, the most part from Norway, Hungary, Romania, Italy, and France. 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.
As a romanian myself, I'm afraid I must correct you on your statement there about Romanians fighting with the Germans in the Battle of Berlin. By that point, Romania had been fighting the germans for a pretty long time now. Maybe there Romanians in the attacking army, but certainly not in the defensive one.
USSR wasnt completely alone either. 200,000 Polish troops fought alongside them, and even raised the Polish flag on the Berlin Victory Column (Although they were almost shot by Soviet Commissars for doing so. Many of those men were Veterans from 1939 who were taken as POW's by the Soviets, and in 1941 conscripted to fight with them. Polish soldiers fought from the very beginning to the very end, fighting the battles that both started, and ended the war.
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.

I read somewhere in someones journal they found talking about their kids being forced to fight as young as 7 - 8 and if they refused they were hung by the SS.
Hitler Youth was for kids older than 14. There was Jungvolk for 10+ however American soldiers captured uniformed kids as young as 7 who were manning flak cannons and small artillery posts
I once did window work for a guy who served when he was 9 and had surrendered to allied troops but they gave him a bike and told him to go home, so he biked for 30 miles between the allied troops and supplies travelling to the front.

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.
Hmm, Soviets to the east and American/British/French to the West. Yep, I'll go west thank you very much.
In May, Admiral Donitz stalled on surrender negotiations in order to buy time to move German troops and civilians west. Eisenhower got him to stop stalling by threatening to close the Allied lines to the fleeing Germans, thus forcing them to surrender to the Soviets.
Don't forget that Himmler and Goering were attempting to seek a treaty with the Western allies under Hitlers nose.

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.

Yes, but at the end of this conflict Stalin urge Zhukov to attack swiftly straight to Berlin as Allies are closing in from the West. Stalin did not trust Allies will grant the promise on the Conference before hence the large amount of casualties Soviets incurred at Battle of Seelow Heights and Battle of Berlin.
Numerial superiority was still the main reason for Victory , numbers doesent lie.
@@jorgeckert3162 in the beginning of wwi the Germans were thrashing the Russians who greatly outnumbered them
@@jorgeckert3162 No, it was not. The Soviets actually had a huge manpower shortage throughout the interwar period and WW2. 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.

Hitler invades oil fields instead of Moscow.
Stalin: You should have gone for the head.
Edit: I am aware attacking Moscow still would not have worked.
Funny enough, Hitler wanted his armies to go for the oil fields in the Caucasus. It was Halder and the OKH (oberkommando des Heeres, or army command) that went for Moskow instead. They really hoped for the exact same outcome as the campaign in France, but didn't really take the size difference into account.
Napoleon had gone for the head in 1812, it didn't work out did it?...
even if the german did capture moscow the soviets wouldn't even care
in 1812 after napoleon capture moscow the russian keep fighting and they won
the soviet will not surrender even if the capital is taken
Autit Rahman Khan USSR was ready to go against the Reich, starting a surprise invasion was the best choice and completely caught the red army unprepared... France was already dealt with and USSR came very close to death... Germany attacking too many countries is a stupid stereotype
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.

@Dex4Sure thats what im talking about,if usa stood 100% neutral germany would have won the eastern Front for Sure, and later the Western front with britain
@Dex4Sure war 1vs1 means Nazis lose 1/3 of their troops as allies such as Italy, Hungary, Romania, Finland etc do not send troops to aid them, nor give them materials they desperately needed for the war (Romanian oil).
The German goal was Grozny, they were stopped far from there. Lend lease was important but the bulk of it came after the Soviets had already achieved substantial victories (Moscow and Stalingrad)
@Dex4Sure German allies provided Hitler with over a million extra men and access to territory the Germans wouldn't have otherwise been able to invade from, such as Romania and Finland. Without Romanian oil the Germans could not have invaded.
Aircraft, etc was not crucial to the Soviet war effort. Trucks and food were. However even without those, the Soviets would of won-defeat wasn't an option. Defeat for them meant extinction as a people; there could never be a defeat allowed. They would fight till the bitter end; Hitler gave them no choice.
@Dex4Sure Germany takes over Romania and immediately the USSR notices and actually prepares to either defend or invade the Reich. Germany invades Romania and Romania burns down the oil refineries and potentially asks the USSR for aid; Germany gets no surprise invasion of USSR. All while having yet another partisan threat behind their lines in line with Yugoslavia.
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.

Fun fact: The last men to defend Berlin were Frenchmen fighting under the SS. They were known as the SS Charlemange and inflicted immense damage to the Soviets.
Just so you know, SS weren't taken captive. Most SS members were shot on sight, even if they surrendered.
There were about 300 of them and only around 30 survived
@@ceu160193 Good.
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.

Overall briliant channel.
Your map for the 1945 offensive is a bit off. By September 1944 soviets were at Warsaw (and they waited for the Warsaw uprising to bleed out), but on your map they were at river Bug instead of Vistula (Wisla).
Btw. could you make a video about the Warsaw 1944 uprising, I'll bet it will get you subscribers.
Greg they didn't wait for the Warsaw uprising to bleed out, they just finished pushing hundreds of kilometers and the Soviet troops were dangerously low on attrition, pushing across the vistula would've been too dangerous and would be a military blunder.
Pretty sure Stalin held his forces back so the Germans could crush the Polish uprising, rendering Warsaw much easier to subjugate after the conquest of Germany.
@@Loup-mx7yt If the uprising was strong enough to hold for 63 days by people not even reasonably armed (1 in 10 was armed), than I'm sure the soviet push would be a blow. Why not use this uprising force on your side?
The polish plan was to liberate Warsaw and then welcome the soviet forces in a liberated city under polish control. If the help was there they (the soviets) wouldn't be the liberators, which would put them in a worse position when discussing the borders after the war. Similar situations happened in Lviv (Soviets arrested some 5000 Polish soldiers who were sent to "Miedniki" gulag) and Vilnius (Stripped of their officers and confused, Polish units occupied the forests surrounding Wilno. According to current research, roughly 6,000 soldiers and over 5,000 volunteers were stationed in that area on 18 July. These were gradually encircled and captured by the Soviets... Indeed, British media censored stories about these Soviet actions by decree of Minister of Information Brendan Bracken. )
Given what happened earlier in the year in other cities I would say it wouldn't make a difference for Poland if soviets helped or not as the uprising force would be disarmed and high ranks either killed or sent far into soviet territory. Btw. the initial german number were in range of 13.000-25.000, and as the time passed up to 50.000, I don't think that was a significant force at this stage. In my and many others opinion, not helping and letting the poles bleed out was a plan in it self, to gain more territory with less issues in future.
Anyway, would love to see Armchair Historian to show his view on this topic.
Please do make a video on the Warsaw Uprising.
Critically unmentioned. As is the whole Armia Krajowa and Polish forces in general.
Here are a few facts about Warsaw uprising:
- The Red Army unceasingly moved for 400 km, so she needed rest and reorganization.
- Polish uprising was not agreed (!) with the command of Red Army and English (!!) government.
- This uprising was organized by the anti-Soviet government in London, which wanted to liberate Warsaw on its own, in order to have good trump cards in further negotiations.
- Stalin said that if the Polish side had informed him, he would have recommended to postpone it until the end of 1944.
- Despite this, the Soviet command assisted Warsaw, sending supplying through the air corridor and starting unprepared attacks on positions near this city.
Thus, the responsibility for the failure of this uprising lies entirely with the rulers in London.
Dont Forget the Polish 1st corps who took berlin also
And the Red Army took all of Poland at the end of the war.
@@killerklinge52 the most important is fact, that in 1945 Poland regain old western territories, after next war, Berlin will be a part of Poland as old Slavic region
killerklinge52 bruh chill
@@nowy5 2045 year in Berlin:
Dziś jest piękna pogoda
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.
It is a big mistake to think that Hitler only had German soldiers in his armies.
The last defenders of Berlin were a company of international soldiers, the most part from Norway, Hungary, Romania, Italy, and France.
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.
Funktastic Ed there were also tibetians at the last fight of berlin i heard. none was taken alive.
As a romanian myself, I'm afraid I must correct you on your statement there about Romanians fighting with the Germans in the Battle of Berlin.
By that point, Romania had been fighting the germans for a pretty long time now. Maybe there Romanians in the attacking army, but certainly not in the defensive one.
So it was basically not the war between the USSR and Germany but the war between the USSR and most of the current European Union?
@@PaulV.of course. Also on USSR side was few small countries, like Mongolia, which provides us with foods, wear etc.
USSR wasnt completely alone either. 200,000 Polish troops fought alongside them, and even raised the Polish flag on the Berlin Victory Column (Although they were almost shot by Soviet Commissars for doing so. Many of those men were Veterans from 1939 who were taken as POW's by the Soviets, and in 1941 conscripted to fight with them.
Polish soldiers fought from the very beginning to the very end, fighting the battles that both started, and ended the war.
"On the Führer's birthday, a barrage of Katyusha rockets will tear Berlin to pieces!!!"
Reznov :D
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.
