  • A documentary about the largest tank battle in history in Lutsk-Dubno-Brody triangle.
    The tank battle took place on June 23-30, 1941 between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
    The total number of tanks involved on both sides was about 4528.
    In the Soviet time, this information was hidden, so the event still remains a mystery to most Ukrainians. But in Western countries it has been talked about for a long time.

      Now learn why they by "almost taken the capital" received also their first great defeat there, and sorry in October November 1941 there wasn't Lend Lease convoys reached Russian motherland yet...
      Learn also how German terrible ended war in 3.5 years later...
      The reason it wasn't only Germany started war against Soviet Union, it was also Italy and Finland, Romania and Hungary, Slovakia and Vichy France, Spain and Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, Holland and Norway, Belgium and Bulgaria...
      It was industries and even manpower of Occupied Europe, versus Soviet Union, weakened by NKVD terror against own Army Officers... Soviet lost 13,000 officers permanently (they were executed) on the Eve if German attack on Soviet land, in 22nd June, 1941, over 30,000 were imprisoned, some where released just month or two before that... The Army was beheaded by own, before the battle are even began!!!
      Red Army also had a tactic "fighting wars on foreign territories" they were not learned about fighting defensive battles, it was wrong tactic, especially Red Army was ill equipped, especially with army lorries, trucks, battle evacuation and repair equipment and crews. Many Russian tanks were left even after loosing some tracking, wheels, or run out of ammunition or fuel... It wasn't simple enough evacuation trucks to evacuate these slightly disabled tanks... Also commanders were often former sergeants, often had 3-4 classes of high school education, and shortage of officers forced them to take command of regiments and divisions... General Jukov have 3 classes of education and no military education at all... Soviets didn't have yet equipment built for offensive battles, especially when their lost air supremacy to Germans...
      Low skills, poor training, poor equipped with supplies and fuel, lack of intelligence, often brought Russian tank crews exhausted before battles...
      Now in middle of battle most tanks run out of fuel or shells, no nearby armament bases or even supply trucks... They became a target themself, without fuel and ability to fire against enemy tanks and heavy mobilized artillery, who had a perfect fleet of supply vehicles, 2 millions versus 300,000 Red Army have... in other word German and their satellites have 1 vehicle per two soldiers average, while red army had only one vehicle per 10...

      @@JackArkitekt Most of the countries you mentioned allegedly starting a war against the Soviet Union were occupied countries which only sent some anticommunist volunteer units. The Soviet Union on the other hand did not consist only of Russia, but also of Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazhakstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, let alone got they help from their Western allies, while Japan as a German ally stayed neutral. In the summer of 1941 the Red Army had 30.000 heavy tanks, tens of thousands of artillery pieces and planes and five million troops massed along the Finnish, German and Romanian border. In no way the Soviets were unterprepared to what was coming. They hadn't prepared for defence there and the Germans drew a little quicker, that was the problem.

    At the time of Barbarossa, the Soviets had only 100 T-34's. The KV's were armored monsters, but suffered from frequent mechanical breakdowns, having a weak transmission. The Germans tanks, while inferior in armament and armor, had radios and the crews were better trained, allowing them to coordinate their attacks. The Germans usually preferred to engage tanks with their AT guns, saving their armor to counterattack and for encirclement to cut off the enemy's supply and communications. The Soviet BT and other light tanks were death traps, with thin armor, with the commander dividing his attention helping shoot the main gun and lead the tank.

      one slight correction, my friend. the Soviets had over 100 t-34s in the 12th tank division alone, which was a part of Ryabechevs powerful 8th mechanized corps of 899 tanks. the 12th, which was chiefly made up of t-34s, was one of 3 divisions within the 8th mech, which also included the 34th tank division, (made up chiefly of t-35 heavy tanks), & a motorized division, (of which I forget the number of). of the 24000 tanks of the red army at the time of 'barbarossa', if I remember correctly 1200 were t-34s & over 500 were kv. other than that, I agree that you made some very good points.

      @@stanbrekston I stand corrected :)
      When the Germans encountered those T-34's and KV's they were shocked at how good they were, and impervious to most of their AT guns.The even considered copying them. If Hitler had invaded a year later, things would have gone much harder with more of those tanks. Even so, Barbarossa was not the complete walkover despite the Soviet losses. The Germans got the message by the tough resistance by the Russians that it wasn't going to get any better if the Soviets managed to recover, which happened. The Nazi's should have learned from Napoleon's defeat!

    Yes, indeed, it was the largest tank battle of WWII. Finally, after the collapse of the Red Empire, everyone can get more information about their intentions and hidden defeats that amount to disaster. Practically, after this battle, Wehrmacht troops had every opportunity for full and unhindered advance. Dzhugashvili-Stalin's top-secret "Thunderstorm" plan, which called for him to conquer all of Europe, did not help. This battle showed ignorance of the terrain and tactics of battle, and unwillingness to defend the captured lands - all the soldiers of the Red Army fled together to the old Stalinist border of 1939 model. Very interesting video. Thanks to the authors.

      It is not "Russians" who lost so many tanks and troops. It was the USSR and that included people from all Soviet Republics, including Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia and Kazakhstan. The Russian army was not efficient for several reasons, including the elimination of several top generals under Stalin's suspicion they were spying for Germany. Also despite intelligence reports to the contrary, it was Stalin's refusal to believe that Hitler will ever attack the Soviet Union; therefore refusing to place the Red Army under war preparation. Just keep in mind, there was not any declaration of war, when Germany attacked.

    For those that are wondering or confused why the Battle of Brody-Dubno was more epic. Dubno-Brody area was fought over 1 week period of 6 days really. (Germans roughly 700 tanks, Russians 3500 Tanks) Kursk was fought over 1.5 Months! Germans had roughly 3200 Tanks, Soviets had about 7300 Tanks. Big difference because in the battle of Dubno they were all in action for the entire week. Kursk they were more or less piecemealed in, with reserves.

А по поводу разгромленных танковых частей красной армии , можно сказать что танками пожертвовали , но блицкриг на Украине реально затормозился , и потерял темп. А эта потеря наступательного темпа у немцев в 1941 году , потом дала нам будущие победы, и помогла сломать хребет немецкому фашистскому рейху.
