154 offenders killed in two days while having a crushing ratio against the enemy? I dunno, maybe. Did they manipulate figures usually? Sure. In this case? I don't know.
Gary Mulverine_ by one estimate, Russia's casualty on taking Berlin @ 500K killed. It is not easy to defeat Germany. One would have to pay with a lot of blood.
I was in Berlin last weekend and stood in front of this building. To actually stand where the Germans and Russians fought so hard to defend or attack this building is just amazing. WoW!!
@@monopalle5768 Germany have been trying to make up for their bad history by bringing in a a bunch of people with a hateful ideology called Islam. This is only going to bite them in the ass in a few years and probably spark a civil war but hey, at least they're not racist right?
When the Reichstag was renovated, it was by design that the building bear its scars from the war, to preserve its history. In fact, the graffiti was made to remain except in cases where it was too derogatory.
House of History , That is a very good and relevant observation . Any combatants at this point and this place would have to be shell shocked beyond comprehension. .

Many Waffen SS units that were Frenchmen , Norwegian, Danes etc knew that they probably would not make it . I cannot imagine that ANY ideology would be so strong , it boggles the mind these were people of modern Western Civilization yet they were willing to kill and die for one man . The fanatical SS swore a loyalty not to the Father land but Adolf Hitler. These are conversations that are no longer made , it is good we can have one here !
@@oceanhome2023 The vast majority of the European Waffen-SS men were fighting to repel Bolshevism and communism, not fighting "for one man." The Waffen-SS was seen as the first truly pan-European elite fighting force that united all peoples of Europe, not as some wacky Hitler-obsessed group of goose-steppers. Sure, their oath was to Hitler and the German military under his command, but as Dr. Robert Citino would say, "there's an oath, and there's an oath."
That is actually a legit urban warfare tactic they learned from Stalingard. Even the US Army's 1944 manual in urban warfare suggest using any artillery to bust through walls to bypass crossing the streets...

The first ever history-channel, from which I've learned something new. In addition, the topics vary and are not boring. Minus censorship, but it is part of TH-cam.
I am a simple man, I see a funny comment, I post the same comment on every video. Thumbs up if you are watching this on TH-cam. Thumbs up if you are watching this in the 21st century. Thumbs up if you live on planet Earth.
Bretton Ferguson thumbs up if you drink di-hydrogen monoxide. But for real, I found this channel yesterday. I’ve always been super interested in this battle ever since CoD:WaW. As of today, this is one of the best subs I’ve made.

In Call of Duty, World at War, on veteran, I died about 100 times just trying to get across the bridge. The battle inside to get up to the roof was impossible, but we did it to cement a complete game with all achievements done.
Mark you really are unbelievable. I’m still trying to watch all of your videos but here you are uploading! Thank you for letting me learn so much about history that’s unfortunately being drowned out.
A shame here in the U.S., the history of WWII is merely “touched on” in a passive manner in schools. I was born in 1963 and when I talk with younger people about great conflicts they are shocked hearing the death and destruction that occurred. Again, shameful.
Another brilliant video, thanks again. I remember when I first visited the Reichstag back in 2001. From what I understand, they deliberately left some of the battle damage and Soviet graffiti visible, especially in the main chamber, to remind politicians of the consequences of war.
22 июня 1941 года на Советский Союз напала самая большая и сильная армия за всю историю человечества, численность войск Вермахта составляла около 7 миллионов 200 тысяч человек. Это были объединенные войска практически всей Европы. Для сравнения, нынешняя армия США насчитывает около 1.5 миллиона голов. Технически также немецкие и примкнувшие к ним войска превосходили наши во всем. У СССР не было шансов. Сталин не был дураком (вообще, верховные правители не бывают дураками, скажу по секрету), и прилагал все усилия до последнего, чтобы договориться с Гитлером, но факты говорили об обратном - немцы должны были выиграть эту войну, поэтому и переговоры в итоге не увенчались успехом. То, что сделал советский народ, не поддается слову "подвиг", этого мало. Советский народ совершил чудо всей страной. Героическое поколение, которое потом ещё построило АЭС и запустило человека в космос. Современные идиоты в фейсбуке иногда задают вопрос - что бы было, если бы выиграл Гитлер. Отвечаю - вашего господина звали бы Ганс, и вы бы отлично управлялись с портянками и мотыгой. Все свободы, которые мы имеем, есть лишь благодаря подвигу советского народа. Спасибо, предки.

I was there at the Reichstag last summer in June! It's a remarkable building with so much history.

If possible I recommend everyone to go and see the Reichstag for yourself! It truly is a remarkable building.

Good bit of history of an incredibly sad time ie WW2 that spoilt little childish gamers think its ok to make jokes about. Its good that this regime was destroyed but at the loss of millions. At least most of the soldiers who fought and died against this murderous regime are probably not around to discover the grandchildren of this generation would make stupid comments about their gaming exploits. Probably the worse problem theyve experienced is low batteries and run out of jaffa cakes. Millions died but lets make jokes about it be idiots who thing cgi gaming would be their contribution in a real battle. No wonder history repeats itself.
Mark, your channel is perhaps the best one out there regarding military and related historical events. Love how you make every effort to give us great content. Thank you for such lovely interesting and informative documentaries.
Another excellently researched video, thanks! Please do a video on the *Tsar Bomba!* It really also deserves a Hollywood film when you think about it the incredible facts....
I heard a story that the original picture of the raising of the hammer and sycle flag had to be touched up, the red soldiers had a couple watches on their wrists and the authorities did not want to portray their troops as looters and pillagers
Mark, as a student of WWII, I can testify this is staggeringly good content which you've consistently been producing for a long time now. Keep it up and thanks.
Seems to me highly unlikely soviets only lost 150 men taking that building. Fighting inside was savage. God can you imagine standing atop that thing at night in the darkness.. last echos of a long running war going on around you Having just fought your way to the top? Must have been indescribable.
Why? Soviets had experienced and well motivated veterans, who had plenty of explosives, amunition, firethrowers and tanks. Germans were lacking amunition, malnourished and exhausted. It is very realistic that German losses were generally higher than Soviet in last stages of war
I only recently discovered your channel. It is magnificent, thank you, Mark. They knew how to build in those days, built to last not fall apart after a year or two like today.
You just watched a video about the fall of the Nazis. That's one of the stupidest comments I've ever read. That's what makes a grunt a grunt. Blind devotion to dogma without any critical thought.
To be a good soldier, one must love the army. To be a good commander one must send what he loves the most to it's death and do it willingly. We accept the empty chair at the table, we just don't want to get them all killed. .
Early night on the 2-nd of january 2000. Two guys are sitting in the empty Reichstag smoking cigagaretes. Me Russian and an Ukranian friend. Group of German tourists appeared on the balkony above us. They seemed to be surprised to see two slavs inside an empty building. I have pointed with my cigarete to the the wrtings in Russian on the Reichstag walls which are still there from 1945
There are still Russian graffiti from the end of the war in the Reichstag. And it was not quite a ruin until the reunification of Germany. It was used as museum and conference hall.
@@no1DdC As if the einsetzgruppen, the Gestapo and the Waffen-SS units weren't enough to deter them from celebrating what are essentially racially motivated murderers...
Heroic death? This is invaded and occupied nazi germany we are talking about, nobody would remember their names, especially while under soviet occupation. Hell, even today they are considered the bad guys in their own country
Disgrace is something invented by ancient rulers, so we would do their bidding. In the West religion was invented so we would do the rulers bidding, in the east people were disgraced. In the west they were told they would be sent to hell when they died if they did not comply. As for me, I do what I want in my own best interests, and not what others want me to do. Disgrace or the fear of hell means nothing to me. Stop feeling stupid primitive emotions like heroism or disgrace - your brain can rise above that. Just do what is pragmatic, at the time and just give the finger to everybody else, for everybody is out to use you for their own needs.
@@Legitpenguins99 If your whatever morally superior country got occupied by USSR. Your "heroes" would be demonized as bad guys too. Your hatred towards "Nazi Germany" is mainly the result of "winner" propaganda as well. If the "Nazis" fought against communist USSR were bad guys, I wonder what I should call those "democracies" that aided USSR and contribute to tens of millions more death worldwide?

Heroic death? This is invaded and occupied nazi germany we are talking about, nobody would remember their names, especially while under soviet occupation. Hell, even today they are considered the bad guys in their own country
Disgrace is something invented by ancient rulers, so we would do their bidding. In the West religion was invented so we would do the rulers bidding, in the east people were disgraced. In the west they were told they would be sent to hell when they died if they did not comply. As for me, I do what I want in my own best interests, and not what others want me to do. Disgrace or the fear of hell means nothing to me. Stop feeling stupid primitive emotions like heroism or disgrace - your brain can rise above that. Just do what is pragmatic, at the time and just give the finger to everybody else, for everybody is out to use you for their own needs.
@@Simonsvids Quite easy for you to insulting people and talk shit behind a screen. As if you even have the chance/courage to make such choice.
@@Legitpenguins99 If your whatever morally superior country got occupied by USSR. Your "heroes" would be demonized as bad guys too. Your hatred towards "Nazi Germany" is mainly the result of "winner" propaganda as well.
If the "Nazis" fought against communist USSR were bad guys, I wonder what I should call those "democracies" that aided USSR and contribute to tens of millions more death worldwide?
I like Germany and Germans no matter what. They have always liked the British so I'm told. Do not give up your country to Islam. Stay strong. You are not responsible for what happened before you were born. And we will not be asking for reparations...ever. strength and unity! I know its hard in modern times. Nobody deserves your country and nobody has the right to decide that. Love from England
