A few moments of respect for the narrator - Tim Pigot-Smith. A fine Shakespearean and voice artist. RIP
edydon RIP 💐
There has been at least one other narrator in this series - Bob Sessions who I thought was better.
A fine point. It's a VERY well done & narated series.
Tim Piggot Smith done a fantastic job on this and really got me into ww2 history
He is fantastic.
Now this is a REAL documentary. 1994, wow. They don't make them like this anymore.

Agreed!
Congrats to Luga for making such a fantastic series 👏

@@ludaheracles7201 he didn't make it, he only uploaded it.
What I really love about BATTLEFIELD is that they usually start with the clock wound back a year or so from the real topic of the episode so they can explain in depth all the background to the events for better understanding of them. Don't find many other history series that do that.
it is unique
I take notes on Battlefield. It’s brilliant.

I always used to wonder: why was Hitler so stupid to attack Stalin, who actually wanted to be friends and even join the axis.
But now I understand.
1. The dependence on Soviet resources
2. Their proximity to the Baltic and the Ploiesti oil fields.
3. The fear they would ally with Britain
4. The realization that whenever Germany made a move, the Ussr Would always exploit it and also take some territory - but WITHOUT repercussions from the west.
I think Hitler saw Stalin as the treacherous, smiling, bearded guy who could never be trusted, and he was afraid to let this guy exist behind his back
I remember getting goosebumps when the opening theme music would start. Best-ever WW2 series. PBS was da shizznit back in the 90s
This hints at the weakness in the plan actually...that some "time line" exists in War. Yes time would matter. "Time and again the Germans would close their pincers before the Russians could prevent from being encircled..
I like you. ⚡⚡

Watch “Soviet Storm,” THAT defines a documentary series.
this show is timeless, been watching since I was a young boy.
Myself included
As a kid, I was forced to watch these with dad and used to hate it. Than I got older😅now black and white footage is my staple breakfast and dessert😂 dad used to say same thing to his pops when he was a kid I’m told…funny, brutal times back then, but nothing makes up for the better greater kid times of anything is possible with a snap or wave of your imagination, before work/job/grind made them possible but u have to buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride😂that’s life😊
The narrator is one of the best ever. Thank you sir.
I fully agree, a Superb narrator with a gifted voice

Yip! 🤙🏼
Me too but now every time I hear the opening music I start to doze off because I've taken so many naps with this series on. 😆

It's not bad, truly.
This and The World at War
Absolutely love these documentaries. I play them every night to go to sleep, for four years now.
Thought I was the only one that did that .
Great voice to lull one to sleep for sure!
I do too. Then I have dreams about maps and shapes.
Anyone else watch this series more than once or twice and also anytime in 2018?
Yes I’m in 2018
I'm watching in2021, if its any use to you. ( As an aside, I was just thinking how this reminds me of my childhood. No, Not the actual war, but watching a programme called 'All Our Yesterdays' on the tv. I'd have been about seven then. Sunday afternoon dinner and All our Yesterdays. I wonder if thats on you tube... hang on... nope. Can't find it. Shame.)
that's what all documentaries should be - a continuous stream of relevant footage and a single narrator. I despise all documentaries that have their footage and narration constantly interrupted by a bunch of pretentious self-important professors and experts
YES! Instead of a camera following someone walking in the forest where a soldier might have dropped a bullet 80 years ago. With the camera focusing on the back of the guys head following like a dog. Brilliant. I don't watch that modern crap, won't pay for it, and won't watch it for free in hotels.

The narration at 1:51:23 is very well written and delivered by Tim Pigot-Smith: "On Dec. 1st in the center, the German 4th army had launched a final massive effort to smash what defenses remained in front of Moscow. Everything depended on the Russians having no reserves. However, for weeks Zhukov had been denied reinforcements as Stalin had held back increasingly powerful reserve formations, including the bulk of the Siberian divisions and their armor. The strength of the defenders was now up to over half a million. On Dec. 5th, Zhukov launched the reserves in a massive counter-attack. The Russian offensive was launched along a front 600 miles long. To the Germans, whose own offensive was being carried on with the last ounce of their strength, it came as a hideous shock. Along the entire length of the line, German armies were shattered into thousands of isolated units, fighting desperately for survival. The Battle of Moscow was lost and with it the Wehrmacht had lost the Battle for Russia."
@xellossaxon AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE SO FUNNY
"The Red Army was the worst army in history" - so you want to say that the worst army for no reason defeated the army that was the best? I do not see much logic here.
"Literally every single defensive and offensive tactics of the Red Army was based on mindlessly killing its own soldiers' - can you quote any soviet order that ignores the value of life of a soviet soldier?
@@Mentol_ Order No.227
Over to you 🤣
@@englishguy2010 Can you quote a passage from Order 227 that ignores the value of soldiers' lives?
@@Mentol_ Figured you wouldn't concede defeat there lol. As it's written in Russian I shall have to have it translated, but it does direct that each army must create "blocking detachments" at the rear that would shoot "panic-mongers and cowards". It also decreed that soldiers in penal battalions were to be sent to the most dangerous sections of the front lines.
Wanna concede? Or are you going to keep asking for quotes? 🤣
WHy can't more documentaries be like this? Not one sided (as far as i could tell) and just giving information on what happened.
Ah yes, the golden age of documentaries... before swamp people and ancient aliens. Those were good days indeed.

I have watched many documentaries on WWII and this one is far superior in its clear delivery of information. The visuals and clarity of narration and showing of troop movements and maps etc... Give a strong overall sense of the reality of what went down .
I've seen every episode in this series many times. It's the best series on WWII, imo.

The eastern front is on a lvl of its own. No other war comes close to the scale of the ost front.
Very true. Sadly most Americans are ignorant of the Ost Front.
Second Sino-Japanese War of 1935 to 1945.
Recapture of France helped, but was a minor part in a much bigger picture. The real contribution the Americans made to defeating Germany was supplying the British and the Russians with ridiculous amounts of material. The Soviets provided the soldiers, the Americans the resources.
Yora you are right. Not enough info about the 2nd Sino-Japanese War is shown thru the regular media. Many people don't know about this.
Real person: I agree.
Actually, over 90% of Soviet war production was domestically produced. There were a few key imports such as toluene.

in my opinion best ww2 documentary series
Its debatable, this and a documentary series called ww2 the complete history which is a 13 part series that came out in 2000 are the best in my opinion.
ruclips.net/channel/UCP1AejCL4DA7jYkZAELRhHQ
Yeh Vasile is a genius for sure, boy. 🇺🇸
god I love this documentary series!
it's so comprehensive : )
and omg thank you for not talking about Stalingrad!
If I had a dollar, man...
+whynot-tomorrow? But very old and lacks much of the history learned in the past 20 years since the Soviets opened their archives.
+whynot-tomorrow? STALINGRAD was another episode from the 1st season ,1st season has 6 ep and there are the most important battles according to the producer's point of view, i have to admit that he made a good choice for top-6 ( 1-battle of france ,2- battle of britain ,3- midway, 4-stalingrad, 5- normandy, 6- battle of berlin ....a rather good choice ,each episode from a very important phase of the ww2)
I watch this over and over myself as i used to watch it as a kid.
I know it's a bit dated and don't care. They paint a very detail picture with the info they had at production. So saying its dated and missing things isn't exactly correct.
It is good, but since it was released much of the factual info has changed due to research..
I remember when I was growing up watching World at War and Victory at Sea. My weekly ritual was making sure I didn’t miss either one.
This is the most comprehensive and unbiased WW2 documentary series ever made...
Stalin, who was paranoid was the only man to ever trust Hitler.
And he killed every one of his commanders so he could install his own WWI group of commanders because they were under his thumb, but by a miracle the Russians finally beat Hitler’s armies. Staggering losses, insane losses, plus the minimum ten million-plus of his people he’d already starved to death in a genocidally motivated way. Of course he’d seen that happen once before. Then he tossed the Russian POWs in gulags merely because they’d been POWs. They didn’t choose to die instead.
This is such a great explanation of the battle! Thank you for posting.
This series of Operation Barbarossa is the most comprehensive and captivating account of the invasion. Presented in great detail and with expert narration. Very informative and entertaining.
Entertaining? What planet were you raised on?

He had a point if you just rush to Moscow you risk your Panzers themselves getting cut off and encircled. They likely could of worked out a compromise allowing some panzers & mechanized units to follow. You can’t leave all those millions of encircled Russians behind your lines or you risk them breaking out and joining the fight again.
Battlefield is THE standard for documentary.
This battlefield series is one of the best I’ve ever come across
Wow, Costco being out of coffee filter does not seem like the big of a deal after watching this.

One of the best documentary series on WWII that I have ever seen !!!
it doesn't matter if you win battles , if you lose the war
+jdsol1938 Thank you! Finally somebody says it! You sir, or ma'am, understand military strategy: battles are one aspects amongst dozens in a grand strategy for victory in a war or campaign. Morale, economics, logistics, politics, psychology, etc. are all important factors that decide the fate of conflict besides simply the outcome of particular engagements.
like Hannibal himself
@@paullindley9 Yup or Napoleon.
Quite interesting! I never realized how screw Germany really was. Everything really did hinge on the Eastern Front. They needed fuel and oil and the Soviet Union was the best source.
Germany was from the get-go in between a rock and a hard place, just as it had been in the first world war. Then, however, Russia collapsed. It could conceivably have happened again.
All of these wwll documentaries heavily remind me of my Grandad and my GreatGrandad , they were both full-time professional Army officers in the Greek Royal Army. Miss you guys❗
This series is great in that it gives a detailed breakdown of key battles and offensives of World War II. The political context we know well, but the military aspects are rarely covered so thoroughly, which makes this series special.
I love this documentary! I became enamored with the Eastern Front since watching this back in the mid 90s on PBS
the scope and scale of the Barbarossa Campaign was a complete shock to everybody. All of Europe including Russia expected an invasion of Southern Russia but no one anticipated an outright total invasion of the entire land mass...including the Russians.
Only way to fully invade a nation and win today would be to use tactical nuclear weapons first to destroy the military completely and the industrial production of city targets.
A really excellent and most educational documentary providing rich detail of the times, the conflict, leaders and forces involved.
god I love this documentary series!
it's so comprehensibleive
By the time the allies landed on the Normandy beaches the Red Army had already torn the guts out of the Wehrmacht.
The Allies had already defeated the Axis in North Africa.
@@memento5113 this all looks like an 10-20% component of success. We all see what allies do without USSR. 6-week-France showed us a patetic show.
Japan remembered what was in 1935-1939 on a border (lake Хасан and Халкин-Гол) and did not risk again.
Allies saved 2-3 mln of soviet people, but they didn't win war.
@@markharrison2544 You compare apples and berries! Just in one battle - the bloody Stalingrad battle - the Soviet Army lost more of it's soldiers and officers than the US and the Britain lost in the WHOLE WWII -COMBINED!
@@memento5113 You are damn wrong: an ignorant and dumb MTF is you! 99% of americans truthfully believe that it was Tom Hanks who saved Private Ryan and together they beat Hitler! You are one of those idiots! Who never heard about Stalingrad and Kursk, Leningrad blockade and operation "Bagration", Mamayev kurgan and Sapun Gora, Zeelov's Hightes and Berlin operation. I can easily beat every you stupid and primitive thesis about "The only reason Soviet survived are the reasons listed below:", but don't want to waste my time. It was all too well known among the serious Western historians that it was the Soviet Army that crashed Hitler's Nazi Europe.
@@markharrison2544 yep there were 3 German divisions in North Africa for most of the fighting their, the max was 7, meanwhile 190 divisions were fighting in the Soviet Union. The African theatre had pretty much no bearing on the outcome of the war.

Man it’s so sad to see that we don’t get to see these type of documentaries anymore
is it me or does the english make the best documentaries? I used to watch this on pbs when I was in grammer school.

Yes, we do make the best television programs all-round let alone documentaries:-)
who says grammer school anymore? are you 70 lol
What do you call it? automatic spell check?
Not perfect. The maps are weirdly drawn, showing Transcarpathia as part of the USSR before Barbarossa on every occasion.
very well done. the entire series is timeless. I actually prefer the old production value. Thank u Vasile - i wished you lived to see Montana~~!
Outstanding, bravo!! excellent documentary by an outstanding narrator…Thank you so much.
Great series. VERY THOROUGH, AND INFORMATIVE.
barbarossa was so massive, so violent, so intense, that it is no wonder that it inevitably devolved into the most gigantic battle of all time. it was a colossal war of annihilation. @ 1:16:20, pay particular attention to this very little known battle; most people know that the largest tank battle in history was at kursk. but very few know of the 2nd largest tank battle in history, & that is the battle of dubno & brody. it was a fascinating clash.
The eastern front is not known very well in the west, yet that is where Germany was defeated.
bombarderoazul
That goes for world war 2 in general, actually.
bombarderoazul well actually germany was defeated on several fronts. stalin kept begging & pleading for the Americans & british to open a 'second front', to take the pressure off of the eastern front, but what stalin didn't realize, was that the Americans had already opened up a second front; & that was the war in the pacific from early 1942 onwards. had the US not cleaned up the japanese in the pacific, who knows where that 'kwantung' army, over a million strong, would have ended up. they could have attacked cccp from the east, & the bombers that was used at pearl harbor, could have just as easily been used on those soviet factories hiding behind the urals that were churning out t-34's & ppsh machine guns. in addition, the US 'lend lease' program sent cccp over 4000 sherman tanks alone, 4000! that's more tanks than the germans went into, 'barbarossa'. in addition, the US sent cccp over 4 million tons of food & opened a daylight bombing campaign on german industry that reduced their number of tanks & machine guns. all in all, while the eastern front was vital to the final victory, it was by no means the only factor.
stanbrekston In view of the massive aid to the USSR, I find it strange that the USSR did not allow US bombers to operate from Wladivostok and Kamchatka to bomb Japan in return. Some "partnership". If I had been the USA, I would have secured this as a prerequisite before the delivery of Lend Lease equipment and food.
Ralph Bernhard excellent point, sir. even in the midst of a world war when the very existance of the ussr was in question, they displayed conduct that was a prerequisite of their behavior in the 'cold war', like detaining some of our pilots that had to crash land. also i read somewhere, (i think it was either in WW2 or WW2 history magazine), that a russian supply ship, just having left san francisco loaded with 'lend lease' goods from the US, was heading for vladivostock on december 6th 1941. this supply ship actually spotted the japanese task force in the northern pacific, that was about to attack pearl harbor, & they remained silent. maybe they feared that had they sent the US a warning of this force of japanese aircraft carriers arrayed to our northwest, that the japanese would have sunk them. maybe they were correct because that task force let them pass without incident.
Great stuff, lots of factual detail, no pathetic moralising
this is a great series. Solid narration over archival footage, the way it should always be done.
@SuperGragster Thought is was just me. These are truly the best documentaries. Military history and science from a geo-political view. The best!
They are so informative and tell you the straight facts, which is what you want if you want to educate yourself on the military history of ww2.
Damnit I can't stop watching these... WW2 was one of the most terrible times in human existence where life was cheap. It hurts me to realize that for the same human and financial cost of WW2, every human need could have been met on the planet for the next 200 years. At the same time, the desperation and the drama of the conflict make it incredible.
I just finished Stephen Ambrose's "D-Day." He makes a point in the last chapter that on average 27,000 people died each day for 6 years.
Cheers to the research and writing staff.
They dont come any better than this docu, thankyou..
It is a little known fact that, while about 80% of Germany's army fought on the Eastern Front, in July 1943 only 26% of the Luftwaffe"s total fighter strength was in the east supporting the troops. A further 19% were stationed in the south, in Italy, southern France, Sardinia etc., but a stunning total of 55% were in the west, facing the RAF and the increasing threat of the USAAF. And this was even before D-Day. In July 1943, the western Allies had just invaded Sicily, and in the east the major battle of Kursk was being fought by the Germans with insufficient air support, one of the main reasons for the German defeat during that battle. The growing threat of around the clock bombing by the RAF and USAAF was a major contribution to the defeat of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front, depriving the army of the air cover by the Luftwaffe that it desperately needed. Three quarters of all Luftwaffe aircraft lost in July 1943 were stationed on the Western Front, in the defence of the Reich, and in the South, fighting the British and Americans. Out of 491 operational night fighters in the Luftwaffe, only 30 were stationed on the Eastern Front. Practically all of the most modern weapons, from V1 and V2 rockets, the Me 262 and Me 163 jet and rocket planes, plus others such as gliding bombs, were exclusively used in the west, only ever in small number at the end of the war in the east. These statistics and facts show the great importance that the aiir forces of the western allies played in the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Spot on, and something nobody ever mentions.
Great series. Very thorough and well executed. Amazing footage.
War is hell. Let's never repeat it.
We will always have war . It's what we do best .
My grandfather told me that he remembered when he was a boy how the Catholic priest in his church was ecstatic at the news of Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. All during the summer and fall of 1941 this priest openly cheered on the Nazis against the Russians as if he was supporting his favorite team in the Super Bowl. He says the other clergy and even the bishop had this same attitude. They welcomed Hitler's crusade to wipe out the Communist atheists.
What I am curious to know is how prevalent this attitude was in the Church, prior to America's entry in the war December 1941. Did the Catholic Church strongly support the war on the Soviet Union? If it is true, than it's certainly something you don't read in the history books.
Very interesting.
Virginia, you've raised a very interesting issue indeed, and sadly, one that is hardly ever addressed. As most of us, including agnostics like myself, would acknowledge, Christian religion has played a positive role up to a certain point in history. But like most well-meaning institutions, it lost its way and was gradually usurped by individuals who had little regard for its (alleged) founder's basic teachings. Consequently, over time, the Church was degraded to the point where it simply became a tool used to promote personal objectives. The Catholic Church, in particular, played an infamus role in enabling Nazi war criminals to escape justice. The reason given by this Church was the principle of Christian forgiveness. But I'm convinced that the reason for allowing all those mass murderers to escape justice and continue to pollute the world with their toxic ideology of hate was far less noble.
Doy Virginia The catholic church after the war also excommunicated all who partecipate in communist organizations
Doy Virginia the vatican hsd its own plan east which it conceived with the ustasé in croatia. they held 137 meetings in which the mass murder of serbs, jews, gypsies were fully known & demanded from pope pius, pius also wanted to spread catholicism in the east against the orthodox, heydrich refused the vatican that possibility - the hitory is not widely known but is discussed in detail in cornwell's, 'hitler's pope'
Doy Virginia Stalin was a total enemy of ANY religion.
There could only be one religion and it was what Stalin ordered.
In early years in Russia he had preists bishops etc rounded up and shot or sent to Gulag , church goods confiscated for the state, taken by force, etc.
Basically he wanted to rob every single organisation of any possibly critical voice and the Russian church was a very obvious target.
I'm glad Russia has shaken off the awful "communism" they have endured for so long.
