What a treat! I requested a documentary on Guderian on an earlier video, stoked to watch this one in particular I watch your channel in lieu of movies or TVs for dinner often, captivating and always educational :)
It's fitting that Guderian was trained as a signals officer. Radio communications is paramount when conducting blitzkrieg warfare. During the battle of France, the german panzers were the only tanks on the battlefield that had 2-way radios. The instant communication between the tanks and the commanders on the field were a primary reason that permitted the wehrmacht to outmanuever the British and French forces. Speed, mobility and instant communication are more important in tank warfare than the size of its gun. In fact, it was generally believed that the French army had superior tanks to the Germans.
In WWII, the U-Boat Corps suffered the highest fatality rate of any service. In the US Civil War, it was the Signal Corps of both sides that suffered the highest rates of casualties.
@@_Abjuranax_ your right about the u-boat crews there death rate was between 75 percent and 70 percent death rate. also the allied bomber crews where between 51 percent and 44.4 percent death depends on what source u read.Both staggering.

The Germans weren't buried by Sherman Tanks, rather it was Soviet Armor and ground attack aircraft. Shermas were limited to the amount that could be moved and supplied over water.
Both of his sons,Heinz Gunther (Major) and Kurt (Captain) fought in WW2.Kurt moved to America after the war.His son Klaus went to West Point.He fought as a Tank Commander in the Gulf War 1991.Heinz Gunther became a Panzer General in the Bundeswehr (the West German Army) during the Cold War.
German tanks did run on petrol. It was their coolant which froze up, especially as there was a lack of anti freeze in 1941. During the summer of 1941, German tanks mostly topped of their coolant with plain water, so by the winter their coolant was too low on anti freeze and the engines would freeze, as ice expands it destroys pumps, radiators etc.
If it was coolant they would have needed to put fire under the gas tantks to get the tanks to start up… with out coolant your car over heats not over freezes … from what I know and I doubt those tanks ran on pure unleaded 41… no way it wasn’t diesel fuel

Thank you so so so much for talking about US collaboration with former high ranking nazis and the Clean Wehrmacht myth. They are both deeply connected and a lot of casual historians, and just regular people, often fall victim to these theories. I have met a lot of older history nerds who don't realize a lot of "good generals who weren't really Nazis, they just were loyal to Germany" are literal, vile war criminals. It is such an underdiscussed or misinformed topic when studying WWII and the Holocaust and I feel it is such an injustice to the victims.
@@achimotto-vs2lbhistory has answered that question. What happened to the Germans, Japanese at the end of the war? were they executed or was there a marshall plan?
You should focus on your own generals, eg Eisenhower and Patton authorizing and even encouraging shooting of POW'S, starving civilian population etc. It was WAR, dude!
Of course part of his success was being in the right place at the right time. That's true for just about anyone. He was brilliant in knowing how to capitalize on being in that position. He might have been one of the more realistic-thinking military leaders Germany had.
A strange comment to suggest he was not as successful in the Easter Front as during The Battle of France; his corps made dramatic advances but were undone by Hitler's over ambition, unpreparedness for the Russian winter, refusal to dig in during the winter and refusal to allow strategic retreats.
Moscow could have never been taken. The German high command along with Hitler took a month to get there stuff together and still when they hit Moscow they didn't make it within 8 miles of the city.
What Guderian did for real was to install radio tank communication to every battle tank with special command tanks having connection to division command and air support as well this and the Jerry can made to kernel of early Blitz and its success, when no one else had done so! Being one of the few Officers of WWI who had comamded a truck mobile radio station, he knew best what good communication is worth in new mobile combined War fare and was able to bring that into tactical leadership at the front ("Führung" von vorne), when French tactical communication in tank war fare was by flags and runners in mainly infantry support role. He had made "Panzerwaffe" a Branche of its own with armored Infantry transport and armored Artillery as well in good cooperation with the new Schlachtflieger branche of Luftwaffe, used as close support Artillery in roling advances, no one else did in early war. A modern Panzerdivision has still the basic structure of a German 1944 one in combination of mobile Infantry, armored support by pioneers and Artillery, now more rocket based on Corps level, but still self propelled guns on Brigade level!
This might be a long shot, but could you do a show on Gabrillo Princip, who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand? My history teacher told us he was only 14 at the time.
My grandfather served under Guderian. He didn't liked him at all. I could even tell that from a picture taken during a parade. My grandfather's facial expression was priceless 😂
Excellent Production, very detailed story line. Guderian was a soldier following orders, which does not excuse him from the Gallows. I wonder why he was not extradited to Poland to stand trial for his WAR CRIMES.Thank you for such good work on historical MEN... NEXT FIDEL CASTRO....
He obviously wasn't the only voice for the development of blitzkrieg but it seems he was the one to put it to most effective use. In particular his actions of cutting off the British expeditionary force at Dunkirk. I really appreciate your delving into people like this. Do you have a biography of General Milch who was to Goering what Guderian was to Lutz? I would very much like to see that.
Heinz Guderian Sr. Was a very talented and able core opportunist almost completely free of scrupules or a hinderance of an honest conscience. He was a master manipulator free of fear and always aware of making a favorable impression. His ability to hide his dishonesty behind an honest mask was matched by nobody.
Perhaps someone verify what I've read, that during the invasion of France he was nicknamed "Sneller Heinz" (Hurry up) and that after the war had even given lectures in Britain.
If Guderian had got his way there would have been no Dunkirk for the British. He was in position to destroy the British Expeditionary Force, but was held back to allow Goerings Luftwaffe to destroy them on the beaches. I think that was the German High Commands first big mistake. Guderian was a brilliant General and tactician, the supreme commander of armoured warfare
Funny how just being in country makes you immediately aware of all atrocities therein. Love to hear the video where these statements are made about FDR and US generals being aware of the wholesale internment of the Japanese Americans.
Or for completeness sake a video on Arthur "Bomber" Harris for example. Made Sir Arthur even.. In every war the victor suffers from selective memory with regards to atrocities committed by the victorious side, while enlarging the atrocities of the defeated. Not that nazi crimes needed any enlargement, let that be very clear.
@@argonrn your reply is highly inaccurate and unsourced as it must be because it paints too wide a swath in implicating “most” generals and soldiers. Nor does it address my original,comment.
Guderian was one of the great military innovators of all time besides being an excellent General his failure to take Moscow in 1941 lays more at the feet of Adolf Hitler
Some have argued that the Nazi economy relied upon plundering the resources of others, and that the Red Army would have gotten its act together by 1942. Also, the Nazis already were operating on an oil deficit in 1941, which would have worsened by 1942.
Très intéressant documentaire, Guderian fut un génie militaire qui vainquit les armées françaises pourtant aussi bien équipées mais très mal coordonnées. Cependant il a eu de la chance après guerre de ne pas être condamné comme pur nazi , ce qu'il fut , à mon humble avis, en soutenant ce régime odieux et criminel . Merci pour cette vidéo.
Guderian based Blitzkrieg on Col Fullers ( British army) papers …so much so that he was invited as a guest over to military manoeuvres in Germany in 1936 …he was introduced to Hitler who said “ what do you think of your children now” to which Col Fuller responded “ they have grown so much l hardly recognise them” or words to that effect …..as previously stated it was the communications he brought and the liaison between the 3 forces …..the Stuka dive bomber was critical as this provided a very accurate 500 kg bomb to any strong point holding up the panzers progress and were more accurate than artillery…
A wonderful historical coverage biography of infamous general (Hanz Gudarian ) ..what is disappointing matter, How those Prussian military Aristocrats Generals and Marshalls blindly followed that outcast, talkative ,and humbled bohemian corpor ( Adolf Hitler)
During WW1 He rode a wagon of communications gear around the battlefield. The area he attacked west was the same area he was in during WW1. There were staff officers in nearly evrey major army looking into mobile warfare Commo in every tank an tied in with aircraft sounds fitting . The Panzer at Ft Knox looks as modern as US M60. In his book he states he didn,tt know Rommel/
So he came from the city of Koom, where the trolls and the dwarves did not fight the latest battle of Koom Valley, and then the Polish got it and renamed it to the city of Hell-no. History is fun.
Of course he served his country, he was a Prussian. Not only that, but a Prussian military officer. Quite simply, in a Prussian military officer's mind there was no place for questioning politics. Considering what he had done, he managed to keep himself at a certain distance from despicable things.
Guderian wasnt influenced by english proponents of the " expanding torrent" and definitley not influenced by Lidell Hart. Basil Lidell Hart blckmailed Guderian into crediting Lidell Hart im exchange for favorable reviews of him during the postwar years. I read that Guderian credited Hart in the English edition but not the German edition . I have the english edition but never seen the German edition. But I have read another account that accused Basil Lidell Hart as being " not so Kosher " in getting about getting Guderians endorsement.

I suppose that Guderian was aware of atrocities being committed by the Nazis but there was nothing he could have done against it. He was not in a position to do anything about it. Had he come ou t and openly criticized the Nazis he would only have gotten himself killed. It was a time of survival and he, like many other officers did what was necessary to survive. One must remember that the entire German nation was living under a dictatorship as brutal as the Communists in Russia.

Although the term BlitzKrieg is associated with the German army, this was more of a myth. The fast majority of the German army was on foot or hors drawn. Thus the armoured divisions had to wait for them, because they are vulnerable without the protection of infantry. True BlitzKrieg was perfomed by the Red Amy in 1944/1945, since their infantry and logistics were motorized by Studebaker and Dodge trucks, through the landlease project (USA), thus keeping up with the armoured columns
Yes, smarty pants, but the Panzer Divs had their own motorized infantry, apart from actual mot division as part of panzer korps. That's how Guderian could advance to the Channel coast WITHOUT waiting for the horse-drawn infantry. Got it?
I believe Guderian took advantage of v.Mansteins plan in France and if it wasn't fir Rommel would have been reluctant to press further. In Russia he wanted to drive on Moscow but Hitler intervened.
On 30 December 1922, along with the Russian, Byelorussian and Transcaucasian republics, the Ukrainian SSR became one of the founding members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Ukraine was never independent,until 1991.Gracias
Well, the rendition of Gen. Guderian's life and military career,was bracing,to say the least. My conclusions were that a) the work was well and more than competently done,andb) did a convincing job in altering Guderian's reputation and ability in Mt own mind. So ofter,the self-aggrandizing panegyrics written by,or on behalf of notable figures ( see: Libbey Custer) are creully if not fatally diminished by reality. 1:07:4
Wow! At 23:59, the Nazis had integrated Germanium - Silicone (GeSi) logic circuits by 1932. Amazing. No knowledge of Physics was necessary to develop n make dem circuit chips. Dat's amazing too. PeoplePro must of had a hard time getting that ckt diagram from 1932 German Archives.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still -motion photography pictures 📷. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Guderian was Patrons equal on the battle field. Unfortunately the WW-1. Dispatch runner 🏃corporal Hitler 😈. Ordered General Guderian to stop his blitzkrieg momentum invasion into Moscow. Causing the catastrophic failure of the invasion of the Eastern Front. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.
You mean corporal Adolf Hitler. What does an other rank know about military strategy. My father was a captain and there could understand strategy. Lower ranks fight. Officers plan.
Personally I know very little substantial concerningGuarderain and his abilities firstly as a soldier and secondly his political views and reaction to and knowledge the events spiralling out of control paticularly on the Eastern front where he participated in many of the major actions in that sphere of conflict. Being completely ignorant there is little point in making any assessment of Guarderains military prowess, he was judged by ts much better qualified thanmyself

“There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people”

Exactly -!!! As perhaps 70% of his tank crews encountered as winter approaches & sets in. 😉
In his Panzer Leader book Guderian certainly appears desperate in front of Moscow to say nothing of 1945.

Yes, smarty pants, but the Panzer Divs had their own motorized infantry, apart from actual mot division as part of panzer korps. That's how Guderian could advance to the Channel coast WITHOUT waiting for the horse-drawn infantry. Got it?
Blitzkrieg defeats itself even in modern war it runs out of supplies and gives the enemy time to regroup, so not a wonder tactic?
Gudarian was a smart man & great general
I believe Guderian took advantage of v.Mansteins plan in France and if it wasn't fir Rommel would have been reluctant to press further. In Russia he wanted to drive on Moscow but Hitler intervened.
Idol.
On 30 December 1922, along with the Russian, Byelorussian and Transcaucasian republics, the Ukrainian SSR became one of the founding members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Ukraine was never independent,until 1991.Gracias
HEROI IMORTAL
Well, the rendition of Gen. Guderian's life and military career,was bracing,to say the least. My conclusions were that a) the work was well and more than competently done,andb) did a convincing job in altering Guderian's reputation and ability in Mt own mind. So ofter,the self-aggrandizing panegyrics written by,or on behalf of notable figures ( see: Libbey Custer) are creully if not fatally diminished by reality.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still -motion photography pictures 📷. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Guderian was Patrons equal on the battle field. Unfortunately the WW-1. Dispatch runner 🏃corporal Hitler 😈. Ordered General Guderian to stop his blitzkrieg momentum invasion into Moscow. Causing the catastrophic failure of the invasion of the Eastern Front. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.
Poland should give the territory given to them after the ww2 back. Literally half of poland belogns to other nations historicly…
He was a smart warrior
How foreshadowing that he was born in '88.
him along with Rommel and Manstein
are by for more intelligent.brilliant strategist than allied generals
Gudarian the spirit of German army
“Mein Fuhrer, mistakes vere made!” LOL
Erwin Rommel MIA? AWOL? Relations with HG? Puzzling.
The British called tanks land ships. "Tank" was there code name so hopefully German spies were just think they were water tanks. And that name stuck.
Interesting
Hitler should have cancelled the Kursk offensive, as Guderian had advised him.
You mean corporal Adolf Hitler. What does an other rank know about military strategy. My father was a captain and there could understand strategy. Lower ranks fight. Officers plan.
German tanks were gas not desiel, russian tanks were desiel

What? You wanna know what town I was born in? HELL NO!
Personally I know very little substantial concerningGuarderain and his abilities firstly as a soldier and secondly his political views and reaction to and knowledge the events spiralling out of control paticularly on the Eastern front where he participated in many of the major actions in that sphere of conflict. Being completely ignorant there is little point in making any assessment of Guarderains military prowess, he was judged by ts much better qualified thanmyself
CHELmno... Gesundheit.
The karoliner way
The town of Hell No?
