Episode 6: The world in flames: By 1942, the global conflict had escalated into a full-scale world war. In the early summer of that year, the German Wehrmacht launched 'Case Blue,' a major offensive in the Soviet Union aimed at securing control over the oil fields of the Caucasus. However, the advance would soon come to a disastrous halt at Stalingrad. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, American forces were locked in fierce battles against the Japanese Empire, facing brutal, island-by-island combat. The Battle of Guadalcanal marked only the first of many costly confrontations the U.S. would endure in the region. Alongside their British allies, they also prepared for 'Operation Torch,' a plan to land in North Africa and open the path toward liberating Europe.
Bro ? Huh? Did he describe Stalins attitude as archaic idealogy of honor and masculinity? Huh what the what huh? Was this gentleman aware STALIN WAS IN A WAR THAT PEACEFUL RESOLUTIONS WERE REJECTED BY HIS 2 ENEMIES? WOW. THEY ALWAYS TELL ON THEMSELVES... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL MOTIVE DESCRIBING WHY THEY WANTED TO WEAKEN, ENSNARE, AND DESTROY THE WORLDS LEADING POWER NATIONS OF WW2. Puppeteers from The "Lone Star" Nation of the middle east have tentacles in every major power.
You know I looked for this comment first before I watched...thanks for saving me time..where can we see the uncensored versions of historical facts??...ridiculous
Even when the 6th Army surrounded, it took 9 Soviet Armies, equivalent to 2-3 Soviet Fronts just to defeat them at Stalingrad, which really speaks the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht during WW2. The stubbornness of the leaders and generals of both sides really amped the casualties
Thats how Soviet Union succeeds anyway, the artillery accuracy left the Romanians for example lack of supplies, arms, bullet and shells that left them open yet they mow down every Soviets until theyre surely routed. Unlike the 6th army those Romanians just said well played and surrend. Wehrmacht despite their superior forces were cutoff and in fact were stopped in their own counterattack to free the 6th army, which means that Operation Uranus is a succesful strategic combined arms operation surely increased the Soviet morale entirely as the Moscow counteroffensive.
11:52 All this talk of Stalin not evacuating civilians is idiotic. Evacuate them WHERE? There was no where to go. Same thing up in Leningrad. The Soviet situation was always desperate. Yet they fought on. To not understand this is to not understand the Eastern Front.
The Germans took Kharkov after Stalingrad bringing the Russian offensive to a halt. The Russians fought on the defensive at Kursk and brought the German offensive to a halt. After Kursk, the Germans fought on the defense.
The 6th Panzer Army Advanced beyond it's Logistics Train and when faced with Encirclement could Not Retreat without losing All its Heavy weapons and More because it was predominantly Horse Drawn!!
It was a double cross false flag provocateur mission. Seriously no joke. I keep forgetting the title but on yt there's a documentary possibly titled (Hitler vs Freemasons) and idk if it's authentic but it hasn't been flagged yet and is from a top news channel I don't want to repeat the docs video coverage or it's main points, but it is ULTRA INTERESTING AND I DARE SAY AN INTRIGUING ANGLE OF WW2 NOBODY HAS EXPLORED. (HITLER VS FREEMASONS) TH-cam
Yes they were Pushed back after Kursk.....all the way to Berlin ! but after STARLINGRAD the RUSSIANS new it was only a matter of time before complete VICTORY was achieved.
The Soviet Union would have not been able to overcome Germany in WW2 without other Allied military and economic assistance. Germany was never able tofocus all of its military forces and economic resources against the Soviet Union so Germany couldn't muster and maintain the resources needed to strategically defeat the Soviet Union.
Gentlemen, I see things differently. While allied, and especially US, military and economic assistance certainly helped the Soviet Union to overcome Germany much sooner the war would have eventually been won by the Soviet Union in perhaps 2 more years of fighting. Germany was at a disadvantage in manpower both to provide soldiers as well as factory workers. Germany had no fuel of its own to run its war machine. After the failure of the blitzkrieg the Germans had no plan B. The Soviet Union had a huge land mass, a lot of which was successfully traded for time. The Soviet Union had virtually no decent road system leading to German machinery bogging down in the muck and mire. The Soviet Union had twice the population to draw on. The Soviet Union had the advantage of a severe winter which effectively froze both German military personnel and its machines. While the war would have most likely lasted another 2 years Germany could not have prevailed.
Germany could never have defeated the mighty Soviet Union. Invading Russia was a blatant act of stupidity on the part of the German high command, and most Germans knew it was over when they read about operation Barbarrosa in the paper.
Not everyone were shot down anyways, alot would be guilty if Stalin isnt more compassionate than the Austrian guy as he after order 227 allowed Budyonny's retreat as example. Stalin simply sacked him after this even if he deserves the same fate but he is surely brave but not brilliant and wont let down as a worst version of Montgomery yet Stalin trust him as one of the guys that still saved the civil war.

Only cowards censor history
More like General winter and General mud!!!
Окружение Сталинграда (операция "уран") была вспомогательная операция. А главное наступление под Москвой стратег жуков просрал.
Censorship on these historical films by TH-cam is so ridiculous!
I use to watch documentaries on TV when I was a child, and they never airbrushed the dead.
You are so right they like to hear the truth on many topics

No wonder Russia today will do anything even invading their neighbors to get miles of buffer zone.
Germany lost the war because they had to lose . They didn't have any chance against the numerous countries they threatened .
This is really a very good quality series with a lot of great information. Thanks so much.
its garbage
Top quality efforts. Thank you.
Ive watched so many of these always just for more footage of the war
Thank you for the upload
8:55 censored media...you mean like TH-cam blurring documentary videos? And posting disclaimers on videos about various topics?
@@teamrecon2685 facts
The Pacific war and North Africa were side shows. The main event was the war on the Eastern Front.
I’d like you to say that in front of any soldier who fought in the Asian Pacific region…and the 25,500,000+ dead also. 🙄

Why do they blur out footage, do they think we're just a bunch of sissies??
you are
Ah yes the circled square.
It was not Stalingrad that stopped the offensive power of the Germans. It was the battle of Kursk. After kursk, the Germans were on the defense.
It was a double cross false flag provocateur mission.
Seriously no joke.

Stalingrad was the beginning of the end.
@@benjaminlathem2745 OH yes.
Ob sturm oder schient.
What's a Colonel General is that the German equivalent to Brigadier General?
Thought it would be a 10 week special military operation. Oops !
33:17 Lionel Messi embarks on his first trip to Europe. Rare footage.

BS...the Russians woulda won regardless... they killed way more germans than the combined total of all the allied countries
Tell us something we don't know instead of stating the obvious 🤡
😅😅😅😅 another bot clown 🤡🤡😂🤯 spotted 😅😅😅.. everything good that is done is then, while everything that's bad ..they find someone to blame...

Soviet soldiers at Stalingrad they lost a soldier every minute ,it was meat grinder,they couldn't fall back or they would be shot by their troops.

It didn't push. IT WAS LED THERE...INTO A TRAP
It was the British navy who won that war in north Africa because they sank all or most of the German supplies.. the British didn't win, rommal lost.
The litlle corporal LOST never forget
Meine Gott!
SPOILER!!!
Germans never take Stalingrand.
All wars and generals have a contempt for soldiers. stalin was no different
The anti communist comments are really dumb but nonetheless, great documentary in terms of film! 😅
Free Palestine!
Stop Genocide!
ㅋ
Thumbs down because of the blurring of select video scenes.
