And where is the historical sauce of Germans occupying this City, i don’t see it anywhere mentioned on the Wikipedia
Its not historical at all, Germans never captured this CITY
This is a Russian City omg, not fucking German City. They never captured it, so why are the GERMANS DEFENDING
The Soviet authority in Volokolamsk was established in late October 1917. During World War II, a number of violent clashes between the German and Soviet troops and partisans took place near Volokolamsk. The town was under German occupation from October 27 to December 20, 1941, when it was liberated by the 331st Rifle Division.
a monasteries IS NOT A CITY its a place were monks are living some times its in the fucking middle of nowhere
But maybe you dont wont to understand history how it was
And where is the Proof German ever occupy such place? If no proof its just anti historical and made up fantasy
At the end of October, units of the Wehrmacht occupied Teryaevo, the monastery, and all the surrounding villages.
On December 18, 1941, the territory of the monastery was liberated by the soldiers of the 84th separate naval rifle brigade of the 1st Shock Army of the Western Front during the Klinsko-Solnechnogorsk offensive operation. After his release, the orphanage returned to the monastery.
This is translated fragment from the Russian Wikipedia: Иосифо-Волоцкий монастырь — Википедия (wikipedia.org)
Original fragment:
В конце октября части вермахта заняли и Теряево, и монастырь, и все окрестные деревни.
18 декабря 1941 года территория монастыря освобождена бойцами 84-й отдельной морской стрелковой бригады 1-й Ударной армии Западного фронта в ходе Клинско-Солнечногорской наступательной операции. После освобождения в монастырь вернулся детский дом.
o yes because every army writes down every god damn shithole they capture and yes every document they write survives the war yes of course. Fact is there were Monasterys in Russia and there were Monasterys in that part of Russia that was under German occupation so please SHUT UP its just Bullshit to talk about it
Do you think Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad were the only city in Russia in 1941-1942 ?
This thread is just non-sense.
You could bring any proof and OP would still argue that Monastery map is supposed to be the city of Moscow
Sigh… Every single Russian Orthodox shrine has this structure. It is like showing a picture of some gothic church and saying that it is very similar to Notre-Dame so it must be Paris.
BTW Saint Basil’s on the second picture is not generic. What is in game has hundreds of copies. Inside of some walled structure - dozens for sure. Some definitely were captured by Germans.
Moscow is a huge city. Battle there would look rather like in Berlin with some different distinct buildings, not like in the small town around the monastery.
what is this post even about…?
what? xD If I remember correctly, germans never defend on assault maps in moscow campaign
More like “incredibly stupid” tbh. “Germans can’t defend a monastery 111!!!111”. Like wtf?
