In this one Battle, more men died on both sides than the USA had deaths throughout all of its battles across the ENTIRE world war!: both Pacific & European theater. How crazy is that? Stalingrad was something else.
Its hard to comprehend but theres a good chance most everyone in this video died at some point in this war if not at Stalingrad than they did after being captured.
"The doctors did what they could, but there was so little they could do. I saw them cover the worst of the wounded with the bodies of the dead to protect them from the icy wind. It was a ghastly sight, the dead shielding the barely living from the merciless cold."
My great grandpa fought on the German side as an officer in Stalingrad, he was hit by grenade shrapnel but luckily survived. Later he was captured by the soviets.
@ yes he did, he was severely malnourished and had lost vision in his left eye due to poor medical care but lived. I believe he came back to my grandmother at the end of 1945. Edit: he lost his vision because the grenade shrapnel had caused blood to drip into his eye, if he had gotten enough medical attention he would have been able to keep his vision. When he came back it already was to late to save it.
because they starving since beginning of September 1942..... yes before they were closed in cauldron. POW's starved over 3 months before surrender had little chance to survive, many of them died before March 1943.
@@anthonymiozza526 first problems with food supply were reported before 6th army reach Stalingrad, rations were halved, reports about insufficient rations were made on second half of September, 23 of November rations were decreased from 1200 to 600 calories....... try to run on the field with 30 kg of equipment with daily rations of 1500 calories each day..... and it started in September 1942, so German army start starving on September (most rear units) not on November.
My great grandfather was in pioneer battalion 80 for the 44 id he was only 22 he passed away in combat November 28th 1942 not sure how he died but I can't imagine what he had to see and do
Lack of foresight and inadequate gear for the coming Winter pretty much was the only thing that quelled the German advance. Once the Winter was over, they were steam rolled by the Russians. The Winter bought the Russians much needed time to muster their strength onto the Moscow front and concentrate their forces in preparation for the counter-attack. Honestly the Germans should never have declared war with the US after the IJA hit Pearl. Maybe things would of been different then.
@@Cayden1988 Yeah, Japan wanted to secure the south asia and oceanian colonies, america wasn't even going to attack japan first, japan basically wrote it's empires end itself by attacking pearl harbour.
Germany were pretty much doomed from the start because of one reason..oil. By September 1942 the Germans had used all their oil reserves up and now found it impossible to wage the same kind lighting war they have been doing for the 3 years prior. Stalingrad was Hitler's very last chance of getting the oil from the Caucasus and winning the war.
@@detectivekelly5854 Would Germany of stood a better chance at stabilizing the eastern front should Hitler not of declared war on the US? It could of concentrated all its forces on the eastern front until Moscow surrendered on terms.
The US was essentially already at war with Germany before either "officially" declared so. As for the Eastern front, the Red army was in a rapid state of huge modernization and many agree it was only a matter of time before Stalin attacked Germany first. Hitler's hands were tied
Innumerable loss of red army men's lives. Yet they fought with unimaginable courage and tenacity. Encircled the mighty 6th army pounded it and compelled to surrender. An epic feat by the great red army of the soviet union.

Out of the 91,000 German 6th Army soldiers marched into the abyss of Soviet captivity, only 6,000 would ever make it back to Germany.
Respect for all of the men who died in Stalingrad :(

Who uttered these words?
My great grandpa fought on the German side as an officer in Stalingrad, he was hit by grenade shrapnel but luckily survived. Later he was captured by the soviets.
Did he survive Soviet captivity?

Thanks for sharing his story, I hope you are proud of your grandfather and his sacrifice during those years
Эх, недобили...

Only 1 in 20 German soldiers survived this surrender at Stalingrad [ 5%]
Of 110,000 German soldiers who surrendered at Stalingrad, only 5.000 returned home.

At 1:55 and 2:55 it's not Stalingrad, it's Warsaw during Warsaw Uprising. These are mixed footages.
Fine footage...
1:33 T34 adapted for flame-thrower(?).
2:55 Mother-of-all-mortars.
3:11 ~6000 of 90,000 survival as POW.
poor footage I saw some parts from Warsaw 1944
crazy to think that some people in the video survived or died right after the video ends
1:24 this is Warsaw 1944
Man, Germany should have never attacked Russia, they were already less in number and scattered in such a huge area. Maybe then Germany could have won.
