Soo, can anyone of you counter-factual thinkers come up with a feasible Causus-Belli, that would make the Soviet people willing to fight a war of aggression against the west in 1945? Otherwise the entire premise kinda falls on its head, and all talk of carriers, B-29s, tactics, industrial output, logistics would be moot no? In: The Library |

"Ferdinand" in Russian accounts is usually simply generic for Assault Gun/SPG of whatever kind - and in practical terms, StuGs/Marders/Hetzers were of course far more prevalent than the Ferdinand proper. Not to mention we cannot conclude from anecdotal evidence of such nature whether any German vehicles were actually present. +1 In: The Library |

Agreed, I find it frustrating though, because you see it all the time even in modern security debates and military history that the political aspect is neglected or simply forgotten. In: The Library |
Thread: What if soviets attacked Western Europe right after WWII?25 Sep 2015, 05:58 AM
No it would not have been possible for the soviets to attack for a multiple of military reasons that LeYawn points out. But more importantly and a thing many people, even at high levels seems to forget, is that there was absolutely no political will either from the Soviets to attack the West nor for the West to attack the Soviets. Simply put the Soviet political leadership would face serious problems at home. Getting people to work 12-16 hour shift 365 days a year from 1941 against an enemy that is fighting a war of aggression and a war of annihilation at that is one thing. Getting them to immediately afterwards attack the West because...... Why exactly? Would be hard to sell. Should such a war have taken place (which it couldn't), either Operation Unthinkable a Soviet analogy: Neither side could conceivably win IMHO. The western Allies could bomb and nuke the Soviets, maybe even as far as the heartland. But I seriously doubt this would have threatened the political existence of the USSR to such a degree they would have capitulated, and even if the case was such it would not threaten the, at the time very stable, political rule of the Communists. Deposing the political leaders would require a ground invasion. Doing a ground invasion of the USSR, considering the lessons the Soviets learned in partisan warfare and taking into account the political makeup of the country in 1945 would, well require some serious manpower and some incredibly heavy losses. A soviet invasion of the west lacks everything, they struggled with manpower, their logistical lines ran from the Urals to Berlin and where thin as it was (even without them being nuked.) And most importantly (again) there was no political will from either the people, the military nor the political leadership to invade western Europe. In: The Library |
Thread: Eastern Front24 Sep 2015, 06:36 AM
From Marat Alexandrovich Kalienok quite interesting and looks quite similar to other veteran stories about armour combat. They are interesting in the totally different picture they give of combat from what you see in movies and in videogames. There are plenty of videos online nowadays of combat from all different corners of the world, think of how they look and how the veterans stories are is a much better (IMHO) is much better way to get a picture of combat than any movie or game ever can. - Do you remember your baptism by fire? I do not remember the first battle as such, but I can tell you about the most memorable assignment of that period. The platoon commander Ivan Dubovik was advancing first, followed by Vladimir Sergievsky, and I was advancing third. We received a signal: "There are Germans ahead in the village of Ozeravtsy." We bristled out our guns right away: one forward, the other two to the left and to the right. We went on along a country road and the dust that rose was just terrible. Suddenly we lost our platoon commander. We could not see his tank. It turned out that the platoon commander’s tank had fallen on its side in the water from a 10 meter long bridge over the rivulet, and Vladimir trying to catch up with him, picked up speed and slipped over his tank as if it were a bridge and at only the end of the village triggered three anti-tank mines at a time, got damaged though not very heavily. It turned out that in a small trench were the Germans who dragged the mines with ropes under the tank. Popov of the 2nd platoon caught up with me and communicated the order: "We need to go ahead and perform the task." I crossed the rivulet near the bridge and rushed forward. After covering about one kilometer we fired at an anti-tank gun, and crushed a second one with tracks, but there was a marshy terrain and Popov’s tank got badly bogged down in the swamp. I proceeded with pulling him out under gunfire but got bogged down myself... There it began in earnest. They fired at us from three directions. But while Popov’s tank was intact, the rear side of my tank received five shells right away and the tank caught fire. As it turned out later, a German assault gun "Ferdinand" had fired at us. We pulled out machine guns and took all round defenses. And when by evening they began surrounding us, we decided to retreat through a rye field. Before I knew it my crew disappeared in the tall rye, and I was behind them with a revolver in my hand. You know that the TT pistols were not issued for tankers, but the revolvers were, because through the plugged slit in the turret only the barrel of a revolver pistol could be pushed. I came to the village and found my crew lounging around by the fire, drinking teak. "Well done guys!” – I said to them – “You retreated and left your commander behind." The next day, the Germans withdrew, and we pulled our armored vehicles out and sent them away for repair. That was my first major clash with the Germans. In general, in those days, we were in reconnaissance all the time." ______________________________________________ Things to note: Getting stuck and trying to get loose is quite a common occurence, plenty of veteran stories include them. Getting struck and set ablaze isn't necessarily a 100% catastrophic explosion, even if hit with high-powered shells. (Though how he knows its a Ferdinand can be called into question.) Waiting for nightfall and sneaking out is quite a common thing too. I remember reading about some US soldiers being pinned by a machine-gun in africa. They simply lied down for a couple of hours and scurried off when it was to dark to shoot. Tanks that have been shot up and abandoned would end up restored, not just becoming rusting wrecks all over the place. In: The Library |
Thread: Recommended WW2 reads22 Sep 2015, 10:12 AM
100% True and cannot be stressed enough. I think I've read about the war in the East since I was old enough to read. Still to this day there are major operations, processes and functions I have no clue about. Currently reading "Воиска НКВД на Фронтe и в тылу" (Troops of the NKVD at the front and in the rear) Its made by Nikolai Starikov so I won't be using it for any great historical merit. Just trying to get a somewhat good understanding of the internal mechanisms of the NKVD and the political repression within the USSR. There is a gap I didn't think I had but apparently do.
