As I already said. Everyone is running with ultra rare golden order weapons, yet because of few individuals we shouldn’t be able to have soviet female sniper or black guys.
They think we all need theirs opinion on history. Tho it’s completely irrelevant in this matter.
soviet propaganda. Sea was a big front. More ubots were made than f tigers for example xd. And sea trade was crussial for both sides. Neglected was dday bc Hitler was at this point preaty much detached out of reality. Also there was whole south and north. Its not like allies did nothing untill 44. But soviet would like you to belive it. ,What a bad capitalists there are for not helping us"…;]
nice wikipedia you got there xd. read book as you wanted to, dont judge autor useing wiki when there is f nothing to disprove or prove in this short biography xd.Its just beeing lazy or convenient xd
its not like others dont know xd. they are just lieing. And she is pointing this out useing raports from regiments (your ,rota-s" idk waht word do you use?) that dont mach diaries.
I never said anything of the sort? What’s more I’m all for it. And it’s absolutely historically and realistically accurate. For example here’s the brave soldiers of the 9th Panzer Division in early 1943 just before the battle of the Kursk. Colorized.
its one of the most popularized lie? But when you check it double many things just dont mach with each other. You just need to dig deaper than popular history, or even worse national propaganda
Did you ever heard about spartan martial culture? its oldest still working war propaganda ever
you know historians cant fact check the soviets, so they have to take their word for it. Everyone is known for spreading propaganda in war. Just cause a country said it doesn’t make it true.
,Instead, the Soviet command gave her a new role—propaganda."
…
and now proper history book would tell you how it worked. but nationall museum dont care about it. to much job. good story of best sniper is easier to sell.
Doubtful? I mean unless she was using an MG at waves of enemies? How do they confirm them? Do they go count the bodies after the battles? In the heat of battle you might add few extra or not count some.
just dont reapeat that number over and over again. its main reason why evryone think thats true.
role of the sniper isnt shooting as meny enemy as it possible anyway. why we treat it like bigger number mean better sniper? they act also as scouts and jtacs
Look at how many divisions were in the Eastern Front and how many were engaged elsewhere.
In Africa core Rommel has 3 divisions (40-48k men) in 1941.
Eastern army in 1941: 140+ divisions (3.3 million men) + Axis allies (380k Romania, 450k Finns) = >4 million, + Hungarians, + Italians, +Slovakians, +even f Spanish division.
simply diffrent warfare. less men more for example trucks. Lets dont pretend that soviet union made biggest diffrence in war bc they used and killed more man. Required big number of combatants can mean not only biggest war effort but also most uneffective military. How many times red army had to be nearly completely reborn after dewastating loses? Large number of participants and casulties on estern front is foult of both sides trying to win against the enemy with material warfare. Were there alternatives for it? Idk Iam not genral. Still we can say that all actions were made with less reagrd for soldiers life. Nature of war of attricion. Western front didnt had this doctrine in use so often. That why numbers arent the same. Less man were called into service, but more worked in factories to create eqipment. Eqipment that was also sended in large quantities to soviets as I said.
More trucks where? German trucks in Africa to transport 40k men? lol
That’s exactly what they did.
And all US/British generals during and immediately after WW2 said exactly that.
If USSR doesn’t grind millions upon millions of axis forces, Normandy is never left basically unguarded, western front is never/much later opened, and the war goes even more bloody and longer (although USSR in the end most likely wins because Germany is on the back foot since Stalingrad/failure of Barbarossa).
Of course not.
Was lend lease was very helpful? Yes.
Could USSR had had less casualties with more competent/humane command? Probably.
But Wehrmacht and its allies were mauled by Soviet people on Soviet soil. Incomparably with other fronts.
