@@NoreenHoltzen Immoral was also the Red Army, and the Germans were shooting at the orderlies, and they were also murdering the prisoners. Honestly, they even treated prisoners worse looking for a long time, because German prisoners of war were often sent to the labor camps where they worked even longer than the war ended and the German SS and SA murdered them directly during the transport, saving somehow the pain, but they also died in a very inhuman way, such as by suffocation in a wagon, by the number of people in it. Both sides were equal, however both were victims and perpetrators.
Jesus Christ. ..and How Dare We of Today- in our Day & Age, COMPLAIN ABOUT A N Y T H I N G, EVER!!! We know NOTHING of Hardship. Of Struggle! Respect Always to the Men & Women of This Generation, who paid for my Soft Life with their BLOOD.
Tell that to all the woke shits and BLMs who think they really have a tough life. They wpuldnt last an hour if they had to figjt a war. They d ask for their mommies to make things better. Wae-wae@
Stalingrad was so brutal and savage. I cannot imagine fighting in this manner. It is excruciating to watch and how these brave men fought until the very end. Whoever was the stronger one survived. Bless their hearts and souls.
Can you imagine fighting a war this brutal? No amount of imagination can accurately describe the horrors of the Eastern Front. My great uncle serves in the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich from the start of the Operation Barbarossa to the final days of the war, and his journal details events so unbelievable that its hard to read, even with an open mind. What those soldiers endured can only be compared to the Hell of the Pacific. Men being cut down in droves and bayonets dripping with blood all along a frontline that stretched for thousands of miles. The human mind can't comprehend that level of violence without having been there. I read the journal entries detailing the carnage for cities like Karkhov and the intense combat during the Kursk offensive, but words can't bring the true horror of what they were experiencing and what was going through their heads.
@@yogibob7029 I can give you a journal entry from 14th of March 1943, one day before the city fell. "As we progressed through the narrow streets towards the city center, it was ominously quiet apart from occasional sniper shots. We advanced a good distance when the company commander was hit by a bullet from a building down the street. As the fighting developed we began taking fire from a single machine gun but the position was quickly knocked out and the remaining fire ceased as quickly as it had begun. The commander was taken back to a waiting support vehicle and evacuated, we dont know the extent of his injuries but they think he will survive. There's hard fighting to clear the remaining pockets of resistance on our left and right, and fires burn hot all across the city. The bodies of our own and Soviets are stacked like bricks upon one another to keep the streets clear, resembling some macabre wall of flesh. The smell of death is unbearable. Once the city is ours again, maybe this terrible war will end."
Jeb Broham thank you it sounds like it would make a great book on the realities of the war in general and the eastern front in particular...praps you’ve already thought this though
@flatmunch 007 Are you kidding? Your comment doesn’t belong here. Russia defeated 80% of the Nazi military and Europe would be speaking German now if it was not for the bravery and heroism of the Russian public. When you are fighting a war on your OWN territory you can comment about being heroic, but your history of war is generally hostile in nature, similar to the Nazi military here.
@flatmunch 007 Ты дурак? Американцы большую часть войны прохлаждались за океаном! Пришли только под конец что бы урвать свой кусок "славы!" конечно спасибо союзникам за помощь, но по факту всю грязную работу сделал СССР! И потери союзников не сравняться с теми потерями которые понёс Советский союз.
Day after day, night after night, trying to stay alive knowing that the fight will never end and ultimately your bravest efforts will be futile. You know you will not make it but you fight because you have no choice and maybe in the end you can save a friend.
Most of the front soldiers didn't lived more than 48 hours in Stalingrad. There are report of unit suffering 50% of losses just by crossing the Volga and marching to the frontline... Around 10% of the russians soldiers survived the whole battle in the city.
Don't you just hate when what at first appears to be a good, realistic war film descends into hammy jingoism with only one side killing and the other dying in combat.
3 года назад+10
Yes, I do hate that, because mass popular cinema does not intent to be descriptie or real, but only to spread pure propaganda. Everyone does the same BS
Yes but here me out, German tactics dictate to storm the enemy, so staying put will allow them to go by their rules, now this is a perfect example of counter Sturm.
It certainly can... But there's no reason why a person has to hate their enemy. If one is fighting for the Love of their family, friends, and freedom, then morals can be enhanced - not destroyed. Of course, you wouldn't know that from watching HELLywood movies that are designed to brainwash us into "how to think."
Okay, but don’t forget the context - this was an innocent city morally defending itself being invaded brutally by an immoral (by definition of having not even an argument for their actions bringing peace) hostile military force.
That was a superb dramatization. I could easily imagine what I've read and researched for so long. The reality of Stalingrad, like war itself, can never be watched on a screen. But you guys did a wonderful job of providing me a most vivid and accurate a representation I have seen of the "Rattenkreig" on the Volga. I've seen, I think, just about everything out there, including Enemy at the Gates, this tops my list. Also, watching it on 1/2 speed is more intense even. Thanks guys!
@@mika500 The battle lasted from roughly September 1942 thru January 1943. The life expectancy for a Russian soldier entering combat was 24 hours! The Wermacht threw everything they had and more at the Russians but in the end 10% of this huge city was still Russian controlled, which was a narrow strip of land along the Volga. The unbelievable defense of Stalingrad, put up by the Russian soldiers left a profound and lasting impression on the Germans who fought there and survived. In fact the commander of the German 6th army, Field Marshall von Paulus upon his surrender on January 31, 1943, went so far as to offer a toast, of sorts, to the Red army defenders of Stalingrad. Taken together, total casualties suffered in the Battle of Stalingrad are estimated at roughly 2 million. Compare that figure with the 265,000 Americans who died during the entire war, all theatres.
@@mika500 the absolute worst battle of all time to be in, period. Simply awful. Full sized divisions (for example the heroic 37th Guards on the Soviet side) would enter the city and be reduced to battalion size at best in a matter of days. Hand to hand combat, for a normal soldier in a normal war a once in a lifetime occurrence, was the norm in Stalingrad. The germans could clear a bedroom and find the Soviets still holed up in the kitchen. The entire city was constantly suffocating from all the bombings that left it burning so it was like fighting inside an oven, until the winter arrived and everyone and everything froze over. I advise you to read Gunther Koschhorrek's Blood Red Snow, part of it revolves around the fighting on the Don, outside Stalingrad, and it was horrifying. One can only imagine the awfulness of actually being inside the city.
I cannot imagine what these soldiers went through on either side i dont think i could do it, but then if its a case of me or him then i understand a little bit more about human nature, At Stalingrad the Germans got a damn good thrashing and they desreved it for what they did in Russia, They went there thinking this will be easy but they didnt count on the determination of the Russian soldier.
No determination in soviets troops NKVD regiments are in the back of the youngs soldiers following the orders of comrade kroutchev to no turn back, punishment was sqad shot firing for giving up. A single bullet in the head was also an option. Half of them were launched to combat without a rifle they have taking account of losses for armed the last standing.
@@badbotchdown9845 Do you really think that Russians were afraid of NKVD in the face of death in Stalingrad? You know NOTHING about Soviet Soldier! Determination, unshakable will, love for the Motherland and noble rage were the base for a Soviet Soldier! German general Paul once said that Soviet Soldier had stronger power of spirit than the german soldier.
@@badbotchdown9845 I do agree that Stalin did issued "no step back" policy as for the Ukrainian war going on today, the Russians they still have the courage to fight on to the death but the reason why the Russian army they're losing it's not because of the lack of determination but because many of them really don't want to fight the Ukrainians and most of the Russian people are against the Putin's war.
Wehrmacht training included rigorous physical exercises but little hand to hand combat. It was because German military doctrine developed in preparation for the war of righting the wrong of Versailles relied heavily on advanced weaponry for the infantry, armored vehicles, integrated offensive thrust, and optimizing surprise. All these became the elements of blitzkreig, a war doctrine which did not imagine of German soldiers annihilating the enemy through judo or wrestling.
Thats what did the Germans in on the Russian front. Hitler thought the blitzkrieg strategy that worked in western Europe could work in Russia. Hitler's generals tried to explain that ir should be aporoached like the spirt of fencing: joust, fallback, joust, fallback. Russia was too big for one thing and not only that they had too many soldiers. Figure that on top of fighting 2 fronts ( not to mention that unlike western Europe , the Russians were fighting back ) the Germans had no chance at all !
Вот так мы защищаем Нашу Родину,Наше Отечество.И не думайте сунуться к нам с оружием или заслать своих единомышленников.Все враги будут заведомо обречены.Вечная память павшим в боях.
Respect from Australia. We have no notion of heroism in Australia, unlike the Russias, as we only attacked *other* counties and never were invaded. I have great empathy for your bravery in having to fight these animals needlessly murdering your cities and having the courage to stand up to them and not merely submit as some counties do.
Thank you a million times Russians for your relatives defending your cities from such a huge aggression and also for defeating 80% of the Nazi military. If it were not for you, the British and most of Europe would be speaking German now.
as an American, my father always said; "thank a teacher for learning, thank a soldier for learning it in english. Obviously the context is not referring to anything derogatory, just pointing out how we dont realize soldiers keep our lives normal and at bay,
I think when the fighting gets close up and physical, a lot of the training becomes irrelevant and it comes down to the character and background of the individual. That is when those who are from a rough, physical background where life is often brutish will have the advantage because coming face to face with an adversary it will be second nature to them to get savage. Even back in the Napoleonic days in the British army the fiercest troops at close combat were the Connaught Rangers who came from a rough Irish background where life was harsh and physical.
not necessarily.... roman legions with rigid discipline defeated many tribes coming from rough backgrounds where life was brutish. it's that roman legions were defeated too on many occasions.
@@mito88 Fighting on their own terms (in well rehearsed formations on open ground, fighting as a cohesive unit) yes they certainly did. When they were denied those conditions, and had to fight as individuals, most famously in the Teuteborg Forest, it was a different story. No collective hurling of javelins to soften up the enemy first, no robust collective shield wall with a second row ready to step forward when those in front got exhausted, and too many natural obstacles to allow the old shield-stab-shield-stab rhythm. When naked savagery took over it swing the other way, as it did in the latter stages of Stalingrad when Russians fought among the ruins with sharpened shovels
@@mito88 till the got their asses kicked by the German tribes at Teutonberg Forst in 6 A.D Augustus Caesar was so distraught the he wandered his palace dmanding Varelllys the general who lost the battle "bring his legons back to him".
Well, soldiers tend to fight much better and harder when a mellow, mournful piano piece is playing with this soft, gentle tenderness, especially during those real savage, horrific, bloody and titanic battles (like Stalingrad), during those extra intense and vicious street fighting melees. Lovely, just lovely🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😄😄😄😄👍👍
My point exactly. Enemy at the Gates was Hollywood. Genteel moviegoers want realism , just not brutality. OMG.War is brutal. It's not a dispute at Starbucks.
The adrenalin running through your body while fighting close must have been so high no time to be scared or any thoughts just to kill is so unimaginably so brutal only afterwards when you have time to reflect on what you have just done would you be scared knowing you have to do it all over again wars suck
What I have failed to understand over the years is that the German Whermacht of WWII was built around the premise of Blitzkrieg or lightning warfare. Not the pre 1918 WWI tactics of slow, grinding attrition that went on at Stalingrad. The German's themselves referred to it as "Verdun on the Volga." Why did not the Germans simply bypass the city with an envelopment, like they did at the Kiev pocket of the previous year, interdict the Volga oil shipment routes both north and south of the city, and then race down the Volga to Astrakhan, sealing off the Caucasus from the rest of The Soviet Union and then conquer over the same time period as the fighting in Stalingrad actually played out historically. Hitler, who had to that point emphasized destroying Red Army units and cutting off oil for the Red Army war machine did a complete 180 and focused on a city? Again, makes no sense to get bogged down in a city just because of a name. A bypass strategy would have played to the German army's strong suit of movement tactics and would have saved vast resources in both men and material that could have been better used taking the Caucasus area with its all important oil refinery cities of Maikop, Grozny, Batum and Baku. Further, this could all have been accomplished long before another Russian winter had set in. Just my .02 cents and I am sure some armchair chief of staff will have some refute of this alternate option.
Army Group Sud was divided in two. One group had to push towards the Caucasus, the other had to cover them from being flanked or attacked from behind by the Red Army. Stalingrad would have been a great starting point for such a flanking move, hence, I believe, the need to take it and establish defensive positions on the Volga. In practice, Army Group Sud was at the absolute limit of their logistics capacities, and it's doubtful whether, with tremendous losses and at their breaking point, they would have been capable of going all the way to Baku (even with a hypothetical turkish intervention). The mountainous terrain on the way isn't conductive for any sort of movement warfare either. The war with the USSR was lost before it began. It was a long shot and it failed.
Army group A had lost a considerably amount of their army in fighting along the river Don, in June and July and they had to be resupplied and then supply chains slowed down because the long distances, resulting in meat grinders
Some would suggest that this was because the point of WW2 for those in power, like WW1, was eugenic culling of the strongest breeding age men of Europe, on all sides who had become too numerous and too much of a threat to the existing power structure. So trench warfare redux makes complete sense
1:40 The captured MP 40 was used by Soviet partisans and the Workers-Peasant Red Army. After the war, the MP 40 along with other weapons were sold to other countries in the Eastern Bloc
The 6th army never stood a chance of taking Stalingrad the army was stripped of many panzer and artillery but Hitler still expected the 6th to take the city. But the Soviets still held the other bank of the Volga and could reinforce with fresh troops. Even by December 1942 when the battle was lost Hitler still refused to surrender and 90.000 starved men gave in February 1943 only 6.000 ever saw home again and that was 1952/3
They seem so confident and not scared when going into battle even though many of them were scared. hand to hand combat is so bloody. world wars were so bad. Lots of young boys /men under the age of thirty killing and dying. I could not ever imagine the pain they went through.
+joe ward The average age of the fallen german soldier during ww2 is 22 yo. So you can imagine how many people died which were even younger than that, considering there were still a lot of german soldiers that were in their thirties or even fourties.
The allies fought 6 German armies on the Western front after D-Day. The Russians pushed back 19 German armies over 2000 miles. They were so short on man power they kept the women in the tanks who drove them up to the front to operate them in combat. The Russian version of Rosie the Rivetor was also a deadly instrument of war. Female Russian snipers were feared, women are more patient than men. And patience is the number one quality of a great sniper.
Let's just remember too that the "armies" of the western front were barely corps sized formations and featured a lot of fifth rate foreign conscripts and convalescent divisions.
damn...... this movie really indicated how bloody the battle of stalingrad is (perhaps the fighting in reality is even bloodier than that)..... It's truly unbelievable that such horrible things like this happened decades ago.
I watched most of this on Netflix and was thoroughly enjoying it too. Tuned in one night to finish the series and it had been removed! I was devastated. It could only have been the Russians who did it.
I don't know why Stalingrad dragged on so long. All the Soviets needed was this small group. Apparently they could have defeated the entire 6th Army themselves! Pretty much the same as in American movies!
I don't know, but it's still a very cartoony fight. There is absolutely no sign of exhaustion, fatigue, malnutrition on either side. The Soviets are massacring the Germans easily, this political commissar is the best, like a rambo. Everyone fights like they're out of karate school, and I'll just mention that many Red Army soldiers barely had basic military training, and especially when we're talking about Stalingrad, as many Red Army forces nearby were brought to Stalingrad to hold the city, so many of them were ordinary conscripts. Of course, well-trained divisions from Siberia were also transported to Stalingrad, but they were more or less digested there at the beginning and were rather exhausted from the fight. Besides, in the place of the lieutenant of this german platoon, I would order you to retreat a dozen or so meters back and settle into positions good for firing, not to go directly into the Soviets who have left the building they are supposed to capture, just tactically, if enemy comes out of the stronghole, you have to take advantage of this opportunity. After that, the Germans had tank support, generally it's Stalingrad but the tank itself wouldn't be, more like at least 3, 4, tanks also work like infantry, they coordinate their actions and must have support from other tanks.
I do and don't wanna argue with you rn so I'll just say that snow is on the ground so the Germans are suffering heavily at this moment or are currently surrounded at Stalingrad, so some of the points of them not being smart would hold up, cause once I was exhausted and this isn't the worst battle in human history, it hurt to think until I got food, but yeah, if they surrounded then 1 tank not unrealistic and also Russains made German tactics of storming and surprise useless when your enemy is counter storming you so the charge makes sense and more sense if this is basically their last remaining combat strength unless they win and loot bodies like shown, if your thinking about this like they using enemy at the gates as a reference then it would seem awful cringe and not that good but I'm giving it benefit of doubt, atleast in this charge they didn't have entire Nkvd detachments gunning down their allies when they turned back.
Вечная память героическим бойцам Красной Армии! Битва за Сталинград величайшая победа Красной Армии! В Париже есть улица и плошадь Сталинграда!

Wrong !!!! You do what ever it takes to win and survive the fight, so your family is safe. Being dead after fighting to the death is of little use to your family as there being raped or murdered
Good afternoon to everyone. For all of them (who that), I explain this demonstration in my own way, either ignorance or their distortion of general information about these incredibly cruel battles for STALINGRAD, which lasted about 6.weeks without a break!!! Can you imagine 6.weeks of constant fighting without a break??? That those bullets and grants - granat, fly for over your heads, without a break NIGHTMARE HORROR!!!! And I'm announcing you and can't go back a 6.weeks constantly and without a break??? Can you imagine what it was like a mass of people standing against each other and fighting boths??? Do you the famous Meat Grinder, (bat for, ,,Iam apologise" for peaple!!) Furthermore, we all know very well that the Red Armi had on incredible loss of life, but also undercover soldiers,and did. of about 3,5-4 milon!!! In incredible number of soldiers loss forever!!! And Red Armi still retreated or dilayed the rapid advance of the Wermacht and SS division!!! It is also necessary to realize that at Stalingrad the Red Armi had nowhere to retreat!!! And Stalin already realized it!!! If the Red Armi retreated beyond the Volga river of the Wermacht the road and attack directly on Moskow would be opened, and only after this would the CCCP ending-finished. I'm not even surprised that Stalin ordered that he stop and not retreated!!! It is was a terrible order to deploy MKVD units with machine guns behind the back of the fighting Red Armi. Simply CCCP no longer had a choice, soldiers and their commanders had to fight otherwise the CCCP no would be destroyed!!! However, a hat must have be put down in front the victims of this fight for STALINGRAD, in front of the tenacious fight of the Red Armi and the peaple. THE ROAD OF THE GREAT GLORY OF RED ARMY.
ЕГО ЗВАЛИ ФЁДОР Ударил гром со всполохом зарниц, Нежданно, в память лет Пришла беда от западных границ, И тысячи запущенных комет Взорвали тихий наш рассвет. Оставив кроху сына и жену Мой ДЕД призвался на войну. Рождён он не был как герой, Обычный человек - земной. От залпа вражьих батарей Терял и хоронил друзей, Глотал обиду отступлений и тревог Да пыль проселочных дорог, Судьбу злодейку материл, Терпел лишения и ненависть копил. Он пятился под натиском армад, Налился кровью яростный закат - Спиной упёрся в город Сталинград. Вот тут, под лютый страха вой, Навязал, жестокий ближний бой. Вперёд бросок - под взрыв гранаты, Удар штыка или лопаты, Смеялась смерть, огонь и смрад, Под залпы близких канонад. Боролся, дрался и зубами рвал - Зачем пришли? Я вас не звал. За улицу, за дом и полисад, Стал бастионом Сталинград. В суровый, роковой тот час, "СТОЯТЬ" - Пришёл от родины наказ, За Волгой нет для нас земли И ВСТАЛИ, не на шаг не отошли. С честью и без лишних фраз - Солдат : ты выполнил ПРИКАЗ В анналах доблести оставив след, Показал всю мощь и духа силу, Сломал ты там врагу хребет И вырыл для него могилу. Был долог, трудный путь домой, Ещё не раз был принят бой, Не дал заполыхать костру, Спас мир, освободил, Загнал назад зло в конуру - Там опрокинул и добил. Салют - Последний залп из автомата Лежит поверженный Берлин - У ног усталого солдата. Закончилась великая война, Живым вернулся гвардии боец, Достойно встретила жена - И сын, мой будущий отец. Так много испытаний, бед - Для одного лишь человека ДЕД, Как выжил ты, как победил? "Я БОЛЬШЕ НЕНАВИДЕЛ И СИЛЬНЕЙ ЛЮБИЛ" Посвящаю своему деду Он сражался за РОДИНУ - "Его звали Фёдор"
I would be so scared. That is absolutely primal combat.. men desperately killing each other with bayonets.. bricks pieces of wood even their bare hands. Its like two wolf packs going at it… war is hell.. be kind and empathetic to one and other.
It's annoying, how in every ww2 movie, german soldiers are depicted as dummies in most situations, even though it is well known that they were the elite fighting force at the time, being very effective, loosing but to cold and overwhelming numbers (when you kill tens of enemies and still more are coming to swarm you).
The Russians lost 2 for every 1 German, but they refused to back down. Of course there were standing orders to be shot if you took one step back, but anyway, Stalingrad was one of the most brutal military engagements ever.
You misunderstand the directive. The Russian were fighting for their existence. The Germans for for more land. Different imperative. The Russians killied 150,000 or .04% of their soldiers for desertion. Their penal battalions (for general military indica-line, did have enforcement units, but the sentence was three months. Most wester histories are based on nazi general accounts. As this show stated.
Realism. Too many people judge movies by Hollywood standards of inclusion , non aggressive social mores , and don't offend ANYONE. War is offensive and men kill in ways that you can't imagine. Alot of times , that infantryman had never thought of doing that to another human being until he was faced with it.
Дом Павлова защищали два с половиной месяца..убитых было 4..ранены все..у немцев перед домов валялось около трехсот-четырехсот трупов...потери немцев в уличных боях огромны..постоянно поступающее пополнение гибло почти сразу.

Don't you just hate when what at first appears to be a good, realistic war film descends into hammy jingoism with only one side killing and the other dying in combat.
Yes, I do hate that, because mass popular cinema does not intent to be descriptie or real, but only to spread pure propaganda. Everyone does the same BS
And one side's soldiers showing bright human faces while the other side is just shown with zombie-like, dark ones.
I saw the war movies. I think we blame japan
В этом фильме с двух сторон погибло много людей, а не только с одной стороны
Yes but here me out, German tactics dictate to storm the enemy, so staying put will allow them to go by their rules, now this is a perfect example of counter Sturm.
Those Chicago winters are tough.
War really takes away human moral. But either you or your enemy.
It certainly can...
But there's no reason why a person has to hate their enemy. If one is fighting for the Love of their family, friends, and freedom, then morals can be enhanced - not destroyed.
Of course, you wouldn't know that from watching HELLywood movies that are designed to brainwash us into "how to think."
If human life is a cosmic accident. Why you think there is moral at all ? If so, there is no good, no evil
Okay, but don’t forget the context - this was an innocent city morally defending itself being invaded brutally by an immoral (by definition of having not even an argument for their actions bringing peace) hostile military force.
That was a superb dramatization. I could easily imagine what I've read and researched for so long. The reality of Stalingrad, like war itself, can never be watched on a screen. But you guys did a wonderful job of providing me a most vivid and accurate a representation I have seen of the "Rattenkreig" on the Volga. I've seen, I think, just about everything out there, including Enemy at the Gates, this tops my list. Also, watching it on 1/2 speed is more intense even. Thanks guys!
So how was Stalingrad actually like?
@@mika500 The battle lasted from roughly September 1942 thru January 1943. The life expectancy for a Russian soldier entering combat was 24 hours! The Wermacht threw everything they had and more at the Russians but in the end 10% of this huge city was still Russian controlled, which was a narrow strip of land along the Volga. The unbelievable defense of Stalingrad, put up by the Russian soldiers left a profound and lasting impression on the Germans who fought there and survived. In fact the commander of the German 6th army, Field Marshall von Paulus upon his surrender on January 31, 1943, went so far as to offer a toast, of sorts, to the Red army defenders of Stalingrad. Taken together, total casualties suffered in the Battle of Stalingrad are estimated at roughly 2 million. Compare that figure with the 265,000 Americans who died during the entire war, all theatres.
@@mika500 the worst that you can imagine and 1000x worse
@@mika500 the absolute worst battle of all time to be in, period. Simply awful. Full sized divisions (for example the heroic 37th Guards on the Soviet side) would enter the city and be reduced to battalion size at best in a matter of days. Hand to hand combat, for a normal soldier in a normal war a once in a lifetime occurrence, was the norm in Stalingrad. The germans could clear a bedroom and find the Soviets still holed up in the kitchen. The entire city was constantly suffocating from all the bombings that left it burning so it was like fighting inside an oven, until the winter arrived and everyone and everything froze over. I advise you to read Gunther Koschhorrek's Blood Red Snow, part of it revolves around the fighting on the Don, outside Stalingrad, and it was horrifying. One can only imagine the awfulness of actually being inside the city.
Reminds me of supper time at my moms on Thanksgiving Day.

I cannot imagine what these soldiers went through on either side i dont think i could do it, but then if its a case of me or him then i understand a little bit more about human nature, At Stalingrad the Germans got a damn good thrashing and they desreved it for what they did in Russia, They went there thinking this will be easy but they didnt count on the determination of the Russian soldier.
No determination in soviets troops NKVD regiments are in the back of the youngs soldiers following the orders of comrade kroutchev to no turn back, punishment was sqad shot firing for giving up.
A single bullet in the head was also an option.
Half of them were launched to combat without a rifle they have taking account of losses for armed the last standing.

Do you really think that Russians were afraid of NKVD in the face of death in Stalingrad? You know NOTHING about Soviet Soldier! Determination, unshakable will, love for the Motherland and noble rage were the base for a Soviet Soldier! German general Paul once said that Soviet Soldier had stronger power of spirit than the german soldier.
@@badbotchdown9845 - did you get your history lessons from 'enemy at the gates' or something?
@@badbotchdown9845 I do agree that Stalin did issued "no step back" policy as for the Ukrainian war going on today, the Russians they still have the courage to fight on to the death but the reason why the Russian army they're losing it's not because of the lack of determination but because many of them really don't want to fight the Ukrainians and most of the Russian people are against the Putin's war.

Wehrmacht training included rigorous physical exercises but little hand to hand combat. It was because German military doctrine developed in preparation for the war of righting the wrong of Versailles relied heavily on advanced weaponry for the infantry, armored vehicles, integrated offensive thrust, and optimizing surprise. All these became the elements of blitzkreig, a war doctrine which did not imagine of German soldiers annihilating the enemy through judo or wrestling.
Thats what did the Germans in on the Russian front. Hitler thought the blitzkrieg strategy that worked in western Europe could work in Russia. Hitler's generals tried to explain that ir should be aporoached like the spirt of fencing: joust, fallback, joust, fallback. Russia was too big for one thing and not only that they had too many soldiers. Figure that on top of fighting 2 fronts ( not to mention that unlike western Europe , the Russians were fighting back ) the Germans had no chance at all !
The Wehrmacht was more dependent on horse drawn vehicles throughout WW2 than most people realise, armoured personnel carriers were at a premium.

Очень жаль, что все таки сунулись
Very realistic scene of what really happened at Stalingrad.
War is best summarized as a bunch of strangers killing eachother.
Thank you a million times Russians for your relatives defending your cities from such a huge aggression and also for defeating 80% of the Nazi military. If it were not for you, the British and most of Europe would be speaking German now.
as an American, my father always said; "thank a teacher for learning, thank a soldier for learning it in english. Obviously the context is not referring to anything derogatory, just pointing out how we dont realize soldiers keep our lives normal and at bay,
I think when the fighting gets close up and physical, a lot of the training becomes irrelevant and it comes down to the character and background of the individual. That is when those who are from a rough, physical background where life is often brutish will have the advantage because coming face to face with an adversary it will be second nature to them to get savage. Even back in the Napoleonic days in the British army the fiercest troops at close combat were the Connaught Rangers who came from a rough Irish background where life was harsh and physical.
not necessarily....
roman legions with rigid discipline defeated many tribes coming from rough backgrounds where life was brutish.
it's that roman legions were defeated too on many occasions.

Bro it only a movie
@@mito88 Fighting on their own terms (in well rehearsed formations on open ground, fighting as a cohesive unit) yes they certainly did. When they were denied those conditions, and had to fight as individuals, most famously in the Teuteborg Forest, it was a different story. No collective hurling of javelins to soften up the enemy first, no robust collective shield wall with a second row ready to step forward when those in front got exhausted, and too many natural obstacles to allow the old shield-stab-shield-stab rhythm. When naked savagery took over it swing the other way, as it did in the latter stages of Stalingrad when Russians fought among the ruins with sharpened shovels

What I have failed to understand over the years is that the German Whermacht of WWII was built around the premise of Blitzkrieg or lightning warfare. Not the pre 1918 WWI tactics of slow, grinding attrition that went on at Stalingrad.
The German's themselves referred to it as "Verdun on the Volga."
Why did not the Germans simply bypass the city with an envelopment, like they did at the Kiev pocket of the previous year, interdict the Volga oil shipment routes both north and south of the city, and then race down the Volga to Astrakhan, sealing off the Caucasus from the rest of The Soviet Union and then conquer over the same time period as the fighting in Stalingrad actually played out historically.
Hitler, who had to that point emphasized destroying Red Army units and cutting off oil for the Red Army war machine did a complete 180 and focused on a city?
Again, makes no sense to get bogged down in a city just because of a name.
A bypass strategy would have played to the German army's strong suit of movement tactics and would have saved vast resources in both men and material that could have been better used taking the Caucasus area with its all important oil refinery cities of Maikop, Grozny, Batum and Baku.
Further, this could all have been accomplished long before another Russian winter had set in. Just my .02 cents and I am sure some armchair chief of staff will have some refute of this alternate option.
Army Group Sud was divided in two. One group had to push towards the Caucasus, the other had to cover them from being flanked or attacked from behind by the Red Army. Stalingrad would have been a great starting point for such a flanking move, hence, I believe, the need to take it and establish defensive positions on the Volga.
In practice, Army Group Sud was at the absolute limit of their logistics capacities, and it's doubtful whether, with tremendous losses and at their breaking point, they would have been capable of going all the way to Baku (even with a hypothetical turkish intervention). The mountainous terrain on the way isn't conductive for any sort of movement warfare either.
The war with the USSR was lost before it began. It was a long shot and it failed.
Army group A had lost a considerably amount of their army in fighting along the river Don, in June and July and they had to be resupplied and then supply chains slowed down because the long distances, resulting in meat grinders
the Wehrmacht had to take Stalingrad because this moron Hitler wanted it for symbolic reasons..
Some would suggest that this was because the point of WW2 for those in power, like WW1, was eugenic culling of the strongest breeding age men of Europe, on all sides who had become too numerous and too much of a threat to the existing power structure.
So trench warfare redux makes complete sense
to make matters worse, the germans bombed the city to rubble. made if perfect for concealed defense . . . .
Imagine how many bodies of these soldiers are still covered in and around there.

1:40 The captured MP 40 was used by Soviet partisans and the Workers-Peasant Red Army. After the war, the MP 40 along with other weapons were sold to other countries in the Eastern Bloc
The 6th army never stood a chance of taking Stalingrad the army was stripped of many panzer and artillery but Hitler still expected the 6th to take the city. But the Soviets still held the other bank of the Volga and could reinforce with fresh troops. Even by December 1942 when the battle was lost Hitler still refused to surrender and 90.000 starved men gave in February 1943 only 6.000 ever saw home again and that was 1952/3
They seem so confident and not scared when going into battle even though many of them were scared. hand to hand combat is so bloody. world wars were so bad. Lots of young boys /men under the age of thirty killing and dying. I could not ever imagine the pain they went
through.
+joe ward The average age of the fallen german soldier during ww2 is 22 yo.
So you can imagine how many people died which were even younger than that, considering there were still a lot of german soldiers that were in their thirties or even fourties.
I agree with u, war brings only pain and no gain
The allies fought 6 German armies on the Western front after D-Day. The Russians pushed back 19 German armies over 2000 miles. They were so short on man power they kept the women in the tanks who drove them up to the front to operate them in combat. The Russian version of Rosie the Rivetor was also a deadly instrument of war. Female Russian snipers were feared, women are more patient than men. And patience is the number one quality of a great sniper.
Let's just remember too that the "armies" of the western front were barely corps sized formations and featured a lot of fifth rate foreign conscripts and convalescent divisions.

Just can't decide which side you want to lose.
I watched most of this on Netflix and was thoroughly enjoying it too. Tuned in one night to finish the series and it had been removed! I was devastated. It could only have been the Russians who did it.
What series is this?
Ahhh I'm going to go out on a limb here but if you have a gun you may want to use it instead of the knife. Lol
I don't know why Stalingrad dragged on so long. All the Soviets needed was this small group. Apparently they could have defeated the entire 6th Army themselves! Pretty much the same as in American movies!
" Whadjou say about my mother ?"
I don't know, but it's still a very cartoony fight. There is absolutely no sign of exhaustion, fatigue, malnutrition on either side. The Soviets are massacring the Germans easily, this political commissar is the best, like a rambo. Everyone fights like they're out of karate school, and I'll just mention that many Red Army soldiers barely had basic military training, and especially when we're talking about Stalingrad, as many Red Army forces nearby were brought to Stalingrad to hold the city, so many of them were ordinary conscripts. Of course, well-trained divisions from Siberia were also transported to Stalingrad, but they were more or less digested there at the beginning and were rather exhausted from the fight. Besides, in the place of the lieutenant of this german platoon, I would order you to retreat a dozen or so meters back and settle into positions good for firing, not to go directly into the Soviets who have left the building they are supposed to capture, just tactically, if enemy comes out of the stronghole, you have to take advantage of this opportunity. After that, the Germans had tank support, generally it's Stalingrad but the tank itself wouldn't be, more like at least 3, 4, tanks also work like infantry, they coordinate their actions and must have support from other tanks.
I do and don't wanna argue with you rn so I'll just say that snow is on the ground so the Germans are suffering heavily at this moment or are currently surrounded at Stalingrad, so some of the points of them not being smart would hold up, cause once I was exhausted and this isn't the worst battle in human history, it hurt to think until I got food, but yeah, if they surrounded then 1 tank not unrealistic and also Russains made German tactics of storming and surprise useless when your enemy is counter storming you so the charge makes sense and more sense if this is basically their last remaining combat strength unless they win and loot bodies like shown, if your thinking about this like they using enemy at the gates as a reference then it would seem awful cringe and not that good but I'm giving it benefit of doubt, atleast in this charge they didn't have entire Nkvd detachments gunning down their allies when they turned back.

Good afternoon to everyone.
For all of them (who that), I explain this demonstration in my own way, either ignorance or their distortion of general information about these incredibly cruel battles for STALINGRAD, which lasted about 6.weeks without a break!!!
Can you imagine 6.weeks of constant fighting without a break??? That those bullets and grants - granat, fly for over your heads, without a break NIGHTMARE HORROR!!!! And I'm announcing you and can't go back a 6.weeks constantly and without a break???
Can you imagine what it was like a mass of people standing against each other and fighting boths???
Do you the famous Meat Grinder, (bat for, ,,Iam apologise" for peaple!!)
Furthermore, we all know very well that the Red Armi had on incredible loss of life, but also undercover soldiers,and did. of about 3,5-4 milon!!! In incredible number of soldiers loss forever!!! And Red Armi still retreated or dilayed the rapid advance of the Wermacht and SS division!!! It is also necessary to realize that at Stalingrad the Red Armi had nowhere to retreat!!! And Stalin already realized it!!!
If the Red Armi retreated beyond the Volga river of the Wermacht the road and attack directly on Moskow would be opened, and only after this would the CCCP ending-finished. I'm not even surprised that Stalin ordered that he stop and not retreated!!! It is was a terrible order to deploy MKVD units with machine guns behind the back of the fighting Red Armi.
Simply CCCP no longer had a choice, soldiers and their commanders had to fight otherwise the CCCP no would be destroyed!!! However, a hat must have be put down in front the victims of this fight for STALINGRAD, in front of the tenacious fight of the Red Armi and the peaple.

Показал всю мощь и духа силу,
Сломал ты там врагу хребет
И вырыл для него могилу.
Был долог, трудный путь домой,
Ещё не раз был принят бой,
Не дал заполыхать костру,
Спас мир, освободил,
Загнал назад зло в конуру -
Там опрокинул и добил.

Лежит поверженный Берлин -
У ног усталого солдата.

The Russians lost 2 for every 1 German, but they refused to back down. Of course there were standing orders to be shot if you took one step back, but anyway, Stalingrad was one of the most brutal military engagements ever.
You misunderstand the directive. The Russian were fighting for their existence. The Germans for for more land. Different imperative. The Russians killied 150,000 or .04% of their soldiers for desertion. Their penal battalions (for general military indica-line, did have enforcement units, but the sentence was three months. Most wester histories are based on nazi general accounts. As this show stated.

Ww2 movie but german soldiers actually know hoy to fight
Lols I would flip beneath someone and pretend to be dead.. I think I'd be Stalingrad Survivor now😁
Well yo will die in cold
You know what is more saddening? This video is way less brutal than the actual battle.
