      Denmark only consisted of 2 infantry divisions (in Zealand and Jutland), around 30 naval vessels (including submarines), about 100 aircrafts, and NO operational Tanks, with a total of less than 14,000 men (8000 were drafted during the last 2 months fearing Germany), totally unprepared for war, so no much to blame

      Leader IM ϟϟ You are speaking about individual things here, while I just tried to point out the greater concepts.
      As you rightfully said, the main fighting force of Germany was positioned to break through the Ardennes, while they used more immobile forces to bait the Allies into the BeNeLux countries by faking a second attempt of the Schlieffenplan and to secure the Maginot line.
      That is the plain strategic aspect though.
      What I was referring to with the math thing:
      Imagine you have two forces facing each other off.
      Both consist of 1000 soldiers and each salve that one force fires roughly deals damage equal to 10% of their own strength. (So a force with 1000 soldiers firing for the first time will kill 100 opposing soldiers. - A force with 500 soldiers firing will get rid of 50 opposing soldiers.)
      In this scenario, given that both forces fire simultaneously and so on, both forces will just eradicate each other. (This is roughly what happened during WW1 and what inspired Guderian when he was developing the Blitzkrieg doctrine. - Just that everyone split up their forces before WW2 and Guderian figured out that this was a bad thing.)
      Now imagine, if one of the sides decided to split up their forces.
      So the first battle would be 1000 vs. 500 and then there would be a second one.
      In this case the force with all its troops concentrated will win decivisely, as when they exchange volleys for the first time, you'll have a 2:1 ratio. The second volley will be at a 2.4:1 ratio. The third volley will be a 3:1 ratio.
      This way you end up with the big force ramaining at ~800 troops, while the smaller force gets completely decimated.
      And then you have the second battle with 800 vs. 500 and the same principle applies.
      And when it comes to Russia:
      What I referred to was, what has happened before the attack on Stalingrad.
      Originally Germany had two axis. The northern one and the southern one.
      Hitler then demanded the southern one to be split up with one half of it rushing towards the Caucasus oil fields and the other half of it trying to take Stalingrad. (His generals advised him to ignore Stalingrad, by the way, but he wanted to humiliate Stalin and what would be better for this purpose than to conquer the city bearing his name?!)
      Imagine, if Germany would've had twice as much troops attacking Stalingrad or if Hitler would've actually allowed his generals to go for flexible warfare, as they demanded, instead of forcing them to "never retreat".
      So I'm not really saying anything against what you've said. I just pointed out the mathematical concept of why splitting up forces is bad and that Germany failed in the East, because it split up its forces (as Hitler himself actually demanded it in his complete megalomania and thinking, that he knows more about warfare than his generals), while you pointed at the result (the battle of Stalingrad) of the split.
      And yeah. The allies in the west were able to bind enough troops to buy an advantage for the Soviets and vice versa.

    • @Celrador
      @Celrador 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Leader IM ϟϟ Ye, of course. That again is going into detail though, which I wasn't talking about.
      I don't deny, that there are a multitude of factors going into this, that can modify the outcome of a battle. (the weather conditions and experience of a troop alone have huge impacts)
      Also: The Combined Arms doctrine is intrinsic to the Blitzkrieg doctrine. So even if your land force is relatively small, you make up for that with the coordination of Air, Naval and Ground troops with perfectly coordinated artillery and mobile forces aswell.

      Yep, Britain invaded Iceland to prevent it from possibly falling to into German hands and for its strategic position. Its funny because when the troops landed crowds gathered to watch the military arrive. The British army asked the Icelandic Police to hold back the crowd so they can move the equipment though. In other words the Icelandic police helped the British army occupy Iceland. Thats the level of resistance they were facing :D

      It was because of the Winter War, when the Soviet Union invaded Finland; and Finland later accepted some German help after the Nazis invaded the USSR. However, from the very beginning, Finland was against the Nazis because they were democratic, and after signing armistice with the Soviets (the Soviets having taken some Finnish land but having suffered massive casualties due to strong Finnish resistance), they turned against the Nazis, repelling them from Finland and eventually joining the Allies. So technically they were both Axis because they were fighting the Soviets, and Allies because they were fighting the Nazis. You should read about the Winter War and Finland during WWII, its actually really cool.

The Channel Isles, which are British Crown dependencies off the French coast actually were occupied for the duration of the war as the UK government thought they weren't strategic enough to defend nor recapture right away when the allies did invade in 1944.

      True, but if it hadn't been for the Western Allies, the attack would have come much earlier before the Russians could have developed their army to the point they had, which was still earlier than they had hoped, everyone knew war between Germany and Russia was inevitable, the question was when, every day, gave further strength to the USSR, Britain holding out delayed any attack on the East, so did German intervention in Yugoslavia and Greece which put back the offensive by months.

This is really hurtful, considering the fact, that every person from ex-USSR countries has grandparents who fought there and most probably died :( And don't forget that war changed its course after Battle of Stalingrad, which was one of the main USSR victories.
      I mean, having Allies ofc helped and was important, but it is very far from saying that "America did it all", most important battles happened on USSR land.

To call allied people nazis you must be totally simpleminded, my 2 grandfathers both fought on 2 different sides on this war so i think i know some things that you cant never read on internet. Stop beeing such a fool:
      "Yes, they were allies from 1941-1944. Finland wasn’t, however, part of the original axis.
      Finns preferred the term “co-belligerent”, because they resigned from Nazi racial politics and regarded the alliance merely as a possibility to reconquer the areas Finland had lost to Soviet Union in Winter War (and possibly to conquer some more too, had the Greater Finland plans come to fruition).
      Finland finally turned against her ally in the 1944-45 Lapland War, banishing the remaining German troops that burned down northern Finland while retreating."
      Some people still are such simple people that they believe all bullshit thrown to them, Fins never gave even jews to nazis when other nations allied to him did. Fins didnt fight anyone else except Soviets to take back wrongfully stolen land. And you claim they are nazis? Omg who taught you in school must be uneducated, or maybe its just you.

      People think communists had a lot to do with winning over Nazi Germany. But as a matter of fact, they only disturbed. NOT Russians, but the communists. Cause Stalin ignored the warnings and failed to prepare for the invasion. Weakened the Russian Army with the "Great Purge". If there was a responsible government who understood what happened since Sep1. 1939, not ignoring the warnings, and getting ready for the war - The Allied could have won much sooner.
      (for instance - instead of 3M soldiers at front, Russia had 10M soldiers at front. They manufactured enough weapon for the war. They secured their airplanes. WW2 in Europe could have been over in 1942!).
      If anything - the communists only disturbed.

    Second track - 'The Descent' by Kevin Macleod is very accurately following the changes in the map. It starts with the attack on the Soviet Union, and changes the whole atmosphere of the video. At its peak moment, we see the start of the Caucasus campaign by the nazis. When the music starts to slow down, Germany has already suffered the painful defeat in Stalingrad and the allies are ready for the landing of Sicily. The track ends with the nazi forces withdrawing from Soviet Union and Soviet forces carrying the war theatre to Balkans

No UN, no jet engine, radar, no powerful US, Britain and France would likely still be super powers (as they were before WWII) The Soviet Union would probably still exist, China may not be communist, Japan may not have given up their warrior culture, no Atomic Weapons, no computers (The first one was devised to break the German code, ultimately it was the Poles who broke it). The EU would not exist, neither would NATO ect ect.
      So much changed during or as a direct consequence of WWII, so much, in fact, that without it, the next big war may well have been Between Britain and the US. During the 30's the two were at each other's throats and tension was high. It was only Churchill's personal family connection with Roosevelt (they were distant relatives) that sparked off the 'special relationship' the UK and US share today. Without it we were more likely to be enemies. War Plan Red suggests this.

      +TheFrozenGargon I have a little question guys. So, a few weeks back I bought 3 books about world war 2, each containing 400 pages. So, everything seemed normal until I reached the Operation Barbarossa. What stunned me is that it says, that before the invasion the Germans had 7 million troops in total. This stuns me, because I have read several things on the internet, watched at least 10 documentaries about the eastern front and world war 2, and they all say that Germany attacked Russia with 80% of their forces, 3.2 million troops. My book says that the Germans had 7 million troops and used 3.2 million for Russia, and that they *only had 370,000 replacement troops*!! This very much surprised me, as I have heard people saying that Germany had an army of 4 million in total in 1941 and then I read in my book and find out that it says otherwise. Now which one should I trust ? Numerous documentaries I watched, numerous things on the internet I have read or only one book??

      That is actually a really good question, and for once, I am stumped. I would have said they attacked with about 4 million. The raid on Britain had stopped but the war was still fought in North Africa and in late '41 Hitler had to bail out Mussolini.Granted the 'Afrika Corp' under Rommel was small, but honestly I am not sure.
      If you do find the answer, please let me know.

Because there were already other countries' agents in Turkey who were trying to end the country from the inside. Turkey did a smart choice and stayed out of war. Also, Turkey got into war at the end because it was one of the very first step for becoming a member of League of Nations which was found by Woodrow Wilson at January 10, 1920, so Turkey declared symbolically to show that they were with UK and others.

Greenland was occupied by the United States but with authorization from Danish diplomats (though those diplomats didn't have such powers).

      I admit that the independence of Iceland before ww2 is questionable.
      But there was no any fear of the government of Iceland declaring Iceland an axis country. Iceland declared herself to be a neutral country, and acted as a neutral country until its invasion. But invading Iceland made sense anyway. It was a good strategic country for air and naval bases, and that was enough to invade it. (There could be also fear of German forces landing in Iceland). Iran too was invaded by allies because it was a good strategic country in that war.

      Actually we had all men ready to defend Switzerland vs Germany.
      We fought one air-battle on the French border, where the Swiss pilots were outnumbered, but still won the battle against the Germans.
      Some Swiss soldiers helped Italian partisans, Which wanted to flee from the fascists, in a battle. The partisans escaped with the Swiss help.
      Then we shot several American planes that were in our airspace. Some Swiss citizens, near my home village, fought against American soldiers that crashed. My granddad told me that he was there as a kid and the plane shot down on him before it crashed.
      170 tons of explosives were dropped on several Swiss cities by American bombers. They said it was an accident. But all of the time those bombers were dropped near weapon factories and trainstations. So do you think those were accidents?
      We sold weapons to both sides. But most of all Germany.
      We needed to find this „balanced path“ of staying neutral and not making that big fucking bad boy, that‘s surrounding us, angry.

      I am Spanish. My country suffered a Civil War from 1936 to 1939 because of a fascist coupe. Not gonna lie, our country was a complete mess by 1939. Not even the Axis wanted Franco's goverment because it would have been a waste of money and Franco wanted a lot of territories

      We had help from Germany. Pretty much all battles in northern Finland were fought by German troops and the Lapland war happened because Soviets forced us to drive the Germans out of Finland faster than we had agreed with the Germans.
