"what he wrote in his diary like a small girl"
in fact, the guy making this video seems to be a small girl
"the harder the enemy, the more glorious the war" he tells us. what an fu**ing idiot. sry guys. (amdins plz edit if too harsh)
and yes, only russians had the doctrin of sacrificing MILLIONS of soldiers to stop the german advance. maybe german ss did the same, but they were just a small part and not even real wehrmacht.
burn houses--> never heard of scorched earth?
man, this guy is so dumb nd knows nothing about WW2 at all. yes, the winter was the thing to stop the germans.
american GIs could retreat, but sowjet soldiers under order 227 could NOT retreat. that is the difference.
"company of pussies in the basement" WTF?! guys, im really trying to watch this video through, but this guy looks like a pussy himselve, still acts like he would kill whole wehrmacht with his bare hands.
saving the main character from the building was one of the missions that showed the bravoury of the sowjet soldiers. this guy complains, that the germans didnt see him. really
he didnt even read grossmans book and still complains. i mean, i havent red it aswell, but HE is complaining.
this guys is mad.
Actually the soviets didn't have the doctrine of "sacrificing millions of soldiers to stop the German advance" human waves don't work ,ww1 taught that. They were used early in the war because the soviets were desperate to brake out of pockets. If that's what the soviets used during the war they would have lost, thats common sense.
If you think winter is the only thing that stopped the German advance you might want to brush up on you're history.
He wasn't upset over scorched earth, he was upset over burning houses WITH CIVILIANS IN THEM, which is what the Germans were known for doing. Your attempt to separate the SS from the Heer is futile they both committed war crimes, but so did the Svoiets, Americans, and British. Order 227 was extremely unpopular was never really enforced, blocking detachments were often made up of the worst soldiers and they were out numbered and could not enforce an entire soviet division and so were ineffective. Oh,and it was repealed in 1943. As a matter in fact you were most likely sent to a penal battalion then to be shot under 227. also he is pissed that after the soldiers saved the officer (a major I might add) the commissar shot one of them and ordered the others shot. Edited for grammar and stuff.
