    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.

    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.

    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.
