My neighbors were from Germany when I was growing up and I was friend with their kids….my friends dad always hated guns/war…I finally found out why, his 2 uncles were in WW2 and both of them were killed in the Russian front. One of them was a tanker and got killed by a sniper while in his tank through a slit in the tank and the other one was in the battle of Kursk and was KIA. He grew up in post war Germany when the government had a strong stand on anti war rhetoric and stuff like that.
Thanks for your efforts to document this horrific struggle. One note of criticism, some of the videos seem to recurr multiple times(?). It this intentional? Anyway thanks again.
My mothers German uncle was with the 4th Panzergruppe under commander Hoepner as a Grenadier (mot) battling towards Leningrad. He survived. In his Wehrpass, that i have now, all the places were they were, are noted. Almost from day to day.

Yes true, the SS also recruited people from all over. Lots of Muslims from the Balkans etc. fought for Germany. A less known fact is that Finland had Jewish Finnish soldiers and field synagogues amongst the German soldiers. There was cases on the eastern front when German soldiers was threated by Jewish doctors in finnish fields hospitals. Things are never really as one sides as they seems to be I guess.
Quixar has a video about a Finnish soldier serving with the Germans. He accidentally eats all the meth for the group, and what happens next is amazing. But the Germans and Finns were all on skis, and all buddies.

Stalin not telling the Leningrad civilians to abandon or evacuate the city right before the siege is a genocide as well. It just shows how Stalin was even more evil than Hitler. At least Hitler cared about his people.

The Nazis were fools for taking the whole region when they had a good chance. That would have opened up a great supply axis towards Moscow using the Baltic Sea and a direct road/rail link, and cutoff Murmansk too.
well that they were fools is so true. Also, remember, Hitler took over directing the war when things went bad in Stalingrad. You had two leaders saying not one step backward. Hitler had a study done before Barbarosa to see if it could be done, the answer was NO, and he ignored it.
@@partygrove5321 I'm sure they could have taken it but I think the question isn't whether they could have, but rather would it have been worth it. Sure that frees up X amount of recourses to be used else where, but how much would it have actually cost to take it. The answer is they probably would have lost more then they would free up by taking it. the main reason being that the people Leningrad where ready to defend it to the vary last. so attempting to take it in 41 or early 42 when they still had ok supply's. probably would have made Stalingrad look like a joke in comparison. As the soviet people and government knew that it was a war of annihilation. they knew that if they fought to the last they would die but if they surrender the would also die. So the question then becomes, die fighting and take as many as you can with you, or die under occupation. That's why sieging Leningrad was pretty much the only option that made any sense.

Mannstein was normally brilliant and probably the best Heer commander of the war, but when the Brandenburgers captured the Dvina crossings in tact in a coup de main and he failed to push immediately as he was worried about flank security he lost the entire war for the Germans, as Leningrad was completely defenseless for more than a week after he had his opportunity and could have been there in 2 days.
You're wrong. The Finns never closed the encirclement. Churchill threatened them that if they did, he would let the Russians anihilate them and even England would have declare war on Finland. More than that, the Finns were aware that they would have to live with the Russians at their border sonner or later. And the Finns thought they were far beyound their frontier of 1939, around Leningrad, which made them the invaders. Better doublecross the Germans at that point. So they didn't close the encirclement.
The Finns stopped 12 miles North of Leningrad, All they were interested in was reclaiming lost territory which is why they stopped much to the chagrin of the Germans. General Mannerheim had been officer to the TSAR so maybe he appreciated the great cultural value to the Soviets. So it could be argued that the Finns were not involved in the siege plus the Finnish soldiers would not stop trade between the Leningraders and Finnish merchants to buy food!
2:03 you make it sound they stole those places from the Moscovy but weren't they Finnish to start with? Why certain people hate northern lights aka boreal society. Thank you for mentionning this.
Ford factories in France and Germany and Russia... made trucks during the ful length of the war both for Russia and Germany. GM changed the name on the factories to Opel. Studebaker had a factory in Russia and they made the exact truck they made in America, so spare partds eould be easier
Unfortunatly you are talking a lot of BS the Finnish army advanced down the Karelian isthmus to the exact pre-Winter War border and then stopped and dug in. They did this because Mannerheim determined, as he remarks in his memoirs, that since Stalin and all the other Russians were so concerned that Finland or another country might attack Leningrad via Finland, he wished to avoid giving the slightest confirmation to these fears
To be exact, Finns made a mistake what is still a bit hard to admit: Finnish troops crossed the old border so that the front line straightened between Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland. The closest troops were only about 20 km from Leningrad. - Still, the siege was not complete, there were "holes", not many but some for evacuation. What Russians nowadays want to forget is that Stalin ordered all those who tried to escape from Leningrad to be shot. Also Finnish troops had an order to shoot those who tried to escape to Finland (there was a danger that Red Army would use civilians as human shield). But, what so ever, Russians should look in the mirror and remember why Finns participated Operation Barbarossa instead of crying "nazis, nazis"... They can start to review the history e.g. from Ribbentrop-Molotov Pack.
@@JDDC-tq7qm Well, Finland lost territories, true, but if you compare the size of these two countries plus casulties. Let's take e.g. Winter War. Casulties: Finland about 70 000 (25 904 dead or missing), the USSR 320 000 - 380 000 (130 000 dead or missing) - Russian statistics have been changing according who has been in charge. Strenght: Finland 330 000 soldiers, 32 (!) tanks, 114 air crafts - the USSR about 500 000 soldiers, over 2 500 tanks, 3 880 air crafts. Population of both countries: Finland 3 700 000 inhabitans, the USSR 170 000 000 inhabitants. At that time Finland was a really poor country. The war continued... Continuation War. Altogether Germans and Finns lost less people than the USSR. I think the Winter War (the first part of "the Soviet-Finnish war" is a good example how crazy the whole situation was, a perfect David-Goliath example. For Finns this will be always seen as a victory - despite of being officially the loser - after all, the country managed to maintain its independence and was never captured by the Soviets. Stalin thought he will march to the capital in two weeks... What comes to Germany... Russia likes to talk like it made it happen alone. There were three "big ones": the US, the United Kingdom and the USSR. :) So, you are kind of right. You might (or not) change your opinion if you think it this way: a featherweight and a heavyweight face off in a boxing match. The heavyweight wins. Is it really a glorious victory, an ass-kicking?
The German solder was unwavering and resolute but only the numerical advantage of the enemy coupled with the constant shortage of men and supplies would prove to be is undoing

@@welditmick Brutalities always happen during wars. The Ukrainians have been brutal in isolated incidents. But for the Russians, it is a systemic strategy. In every town in Ukraine that the Russians have been pushed out of, there is evidence of mass murder, torture, rape, looting, and brutalities inflicted on the civilian residents.
@FootisMan operation begration had a massive 4-1 advantage in men and materials, Kursk was over 2-1 just in tanks, Uranus was almost 10-1 in men and materials ( there were only about 100,000 men left in Stalingrad when it was encircled ) so wtf is so blatantly false about any of that??
Today it is no longer relevant. The Wehrmacht has been replaced by the Russian army and is doing more atrocities than the Germans. "Stalingrad" was around Kharkov and Mariupol only a month ago.
Shut up. Germany had concentration camps, Russia doesnt. You are disrespectful towards millions of people who died in concentration camps, and milliards who died in WW2.
The 2nd world war could have been avoided but instead in 1939 Stalin chose to ally Russia with the naZis and invade Poland. Once the Russians invaded Poland in 1939, the Russians then invaded the Baltic States and Finland.
What worse is that after France surrendered a couple of months later Stalin wanted to join the Axis powers in Oct-Nov. 1940. Only one man stopped his offer. Hitler himself.
Nazism and communism are both evil except communism killed more civilians in the 20th century than throughout WW2 did. Just think about that for a second there. In Soviet Union and China under communism killed around 100 million of their own people without interference by democracy nor fascism.

The Siege of Leningrad started in 1941.
Leningrad was supplied by the frozen lake Ladoga, not to a very big extent, but enough to keep the forces fighting.
Sadly, due to finnish and axis join effort, the supplies delivered werent enough to save the city from starving due to constant air raids.
