@@CoolNinja925 I think you mean: 👁◾️👁

I prefer the US's "annihilate from orbit" strategy. Japanese want to make you fight for every inch? Just reduce the entire battlefield to dust, then send in men to secure the dust. The only time it's really failed was in Vietnam when they blew up empty jungles while leaving actual military bases and population centers alone for the most part.

@@arthas640 It wasn't really a war so much as it was France invoking NATO rules to try to keep their colonial holdings in Vietnam using American forces. Ho Chi Minh knew this which is why he used attrition tactics to win.

@@arthas640 lol exactelly. vietnam didnot attack usa, that was bogus war with little domestic support.they could oblitared vietnam if wanted,but than SU and China would get involved.

@@BurntPlaydoh the fighting in Iwo Jima was intense for a couple reasons: 1. the majority of the fighting on land the US had done in the Pacific Theater had been in jungles or on fairly flat sandy islands, Iwo Jima was very rocky and had some pretty steep cliffs. This allowed the Japanese to build strong, reinforced bunkers, hard points, and other defenses that could withstand a bombardment and bombing. There were also plenty of natural and man made caves to hide in and store weaponry in. 2. Most of the islands the US had fought on were almost always recently conquered territory but Iwo Jima was part of Japanese territory. This meant that not only were there more soldiers but there were also civilians and unlike some random useless island where the Japanese might be willing to retreat, on Iwo Jima they would fight to the last man, woman, and child. Since the Japanese expected an attack there they were dug in far more then anywhere else the Americans had gone before and they didnt have the benefit of locals to offer intel or support, and there werent really any pre-war records to fall back on either. 3. there were civlians there and while the US didnt exactly shy away from bombing civilians they tried to avoid it so they wouldnt quit go as heavy as they probably should have since they'd assume a shorter bombardment might be enough to soften things up while still leaving some survivors for the infantry to pick up. 4. the biggest reason for the bloodbath though was that the US _NEEDED_ that island. Iwo Jima's biggest use was as an air base to attack Japan with since their longest range fighters could still make it to Japan from Iwo Jima along with most of their bombers. Heavy bombardment would mean the air fields would be ruined and that would require tons of patching which would cost weeks or even months of work and render the whole attack largely useless. They could either go light like they did and let the infantry do the leg work. or they could level the island and take another island closer to Japan (where they'd face all the same issues mentioned above, perhaps even worse since that would give Japan more time to dig in and possibly have more soldiers and civilians to deal with). There was a major argument over the best course of action but they decided to try and take Iwo Jima intact and took heavy losses as a result. No matter what the US knew they'd take heavy losses, whether at Iwo Jima or any other major island close to Japan, but they judged it to be worth getting bombers close enough to strike the home islands without needing to take them the long way from Europe to India to China. The losses werent as heavy as you might think though, they had around 6000 deaths and that included pilots and the hits allied ships took, and for a frame of reference the allies took 7,000 deaths just to take Anzio in Italy and that was just 1 battle on their way to Rome. Iwo Jima was needed to drop the bombs on Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and for the bombings of Tokyo so 6000 men was a small price to pay to break the back of the Empire of Japan.

@@arthas640 Plus compared to other campaigns and battles fought, the Japanese were commanded by General Kuribayashi who like Admiral Yamamoto was opposed to war with the US because they both had lived in the US for some time prior to the war and were aware of the industrial might the US wielded. As a result, he was instrumental in ensuring that while victory was impossible for Japan, they would hold out as long as possible. As such the troops under his command made a battle for the island that the Marines predicted to take within a week last for over a month.

Except unlike the Russians, Germans know how to do logistics.

nah if i was a field marshal i would leave.

Unlike WW1 when many top ranks stayed in the comforts of their own home (or simply far away from the trenches) while millions of men were being slaughtered...and if anybody mutinied or did not follow orders, they ended up executed even though their mission was suicidal to begin with.

@@filb this is actually a common myth of WWI, generals and field marshals usually were within a few miles of the front line, they innovated new tactics and methods of assualt to avoid trench charges as they were so ineffective and suicidal, the new technology at the time also forced them to change their whole understanding of war which was based on troop formation advances and cavalry charges and if you actually look it up very few are executed for desertion or cowardice.

@@Mmjk_12 I am not too sure about that, the numbers may not have been in the millions, but men like Cadorna were known to execute their own men, I think he had the highest count of around 750.

The problem is: With such a high officers every their decision probably cost or save much more lives, than their personal fighting. There's a reason why strategical command is taken away from a front, and generals fight in combat only when they don't really have a choice. It's bravery for sure, but also kind of neccesity

Yes but Putin invaded the whole country with a mere 200,000 men thinking he’d win the peoples support and wanting to keep the country intact because he needs the vital resources. He underestimated the tenacity of the Ukrainian people something hitler understand which is why hitler leveled entire cities and invaded with millions.

@@Publius_Staso Don't embarrass yourself. Better to spend a minute looking for information.

@@jangrosek4334 well done) you’re really reading what is written. And have you read the memoirs of general-colonel Glebov?

The Soviet strategy towards personnel was the same as their tanks - they were EXPENDABLE. No other nation could take such huge losses and still field an effective army as rapidly as they did. Of course, blame also Nazi arrogance, which re: Slavic peoples they didn't invent, either. Their atrocities did what not even the most inspiring officers or soldiers or airmen, nor any propagandist or political officer, could ever do...MOTIVATE the Soviet peoples to FIGHT for STALIN. Had the Germans held their bigotry in abeyance, they could have raised legions of "volunteers" to fight alongside them or at least "helpers" to do the scut work, and more than likely the "Cold War" of the latter part of the 20th century is between the USA and Nazi Germany.

Also in both cases their opponent was much larger and you can defeat them once, then couple more times, but when it comes to war of attrition... It's only matter of time before you loose. And you can't afford loosing. Same for germans, same for Hannibal

Because: no resources to finish the job

@@juliuszkocinski7478 when your already stretched thin and continue to make poor strategic decisions

Hannibal was a great war lords, unfortunately for him, His brothers and other commander weren't match for the romans, Hannibal's brother was defeated and the Iberian was taken, he couldn't siege Rome as it was too late, he wanted to wait until renforcement came, if hannibal rushed to rome right after winning one of Rome's greatest lose in history It was estimated that 20 percent of Roman fighting men between the ages of 18 and 50 died at Cannae. Only 14,000 Roman soldiers escaped, and 10,000 more were captured; the rest were killed. The Carthaginians lost about 6,000 men.

​@@filthycasual8074 I doubt it was "poor strategic decisions". Germans knew they can't win war of attricion an tried to win in a quick campaign before Soviets could even turn it into total war. I can't think of a better strategy for them, especially considering previous succeses in blitzkrieg (other than not attacking at all)

The Soviets and Chinese are the only 2 people who'd pull that sort of thing off on such a scale. Most people dont have the stomach to plant bombs in their own citizens homes and also shift the blame onto said civilians. Sort of a "if i cant have them, nobody can!" sort of thing with the homes/people, just like when Peter the Great burned his peasants homes and farms to prevent Charles the Great from using them in his invasion, or when the Russians did the same to Napoleon, or China destroying their own dams and killing 900,000 of their own people to inconvenience the Japanese.

They just copied what the Russians had already done in 1812 when Napoleon took Moscow. Pretty much the exact same situation.

"Stalin's stalingrad" lol, such a weird phrase xD

@ Scorpo Not really. It wasn't a crucial defeat. The claims of prisoners have been widely exaggerated. The Germans never actually counted; Glantz pits the figure as low as 300,000, far less than the actual Stalingrad.

@@DannyBoy777777 They were counted. The soviet soldiers captured were 665,000 plus 163,600 killed or injured. At Stalingrad around 90,000 German soldiers were captured, 200,000 killed. Stalingrad was only so decisive, as the Germans could not afford these casualties. The soviets easily could...

Do you see that armies the soviets have in kiev? Yes Mein Fürer. I dont wanna.

The Soviet Union had a _massive_ population while Germany was rather small by comparison. The Soviets had a population roughly double that of Germany's and Germany was also busy in Western Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa. The Germans also sent their best men to begin with while Russia had endless conscript, as the conscripts die one who survive get better and better as they gain experience while Germany couldnt cycle men out so they just lost their best and had to start send their worst. Basically Germany's quality dropped as the Soviets increased, partially because the Germans just started running out of military aged men and refused to use women until it was too late. Russia also had the benefit of drawing in supplies and equipment from the Allies so they didnt need to focus on manufacturing precision equipment or on R&D which left more men available for combat as you could make due with old people or children in factories and farms, and factories could focus on easier to manufacture goods while they imported precision equipment like radios.

Now you gotta look at how many soviet casualties for them to able to do that

@@vantom6194 Almost as much as Germans

@@hayk2792 USSR casualties:27.5 mln, 10.8 mln soldiers among them. Nazi casualties on Eastern Front:6.5 mln,5.5 mln soldiers among them. No they different.

@Fabian Kirchgessner By the time of Stalingrad, greater german reich population was about 110 million (+half of europe as allies). Soviet population, considering occupied territories by axis, was about 120 million. Literally Wikipedia stuff, and people still misunderstand eastern front.

@@user-gm3wr9dc9m what?? Germanys population including Austria didnt get near 85 million. Thats at least 35 million less than the Soviet Union. Where are you getting 110 million from? If youre adding its allies, which is not the same as a single unified nation under a single unified government, then be fair and add the British Empire which had at least 500 million people and the US which had 140 million to the Soviet numbers. So going by your standard and numbers, Germany + allies is 110 million while Soviets + allies is 760 million. So the comment by the other poster still holds true, Germany could not afford such losses while the Soviet Union can. This is the problem i have with people and new age historians like the youtuber TIK that try to desperately reach and make arguments on why Germany wasnt as disadvantaged or more skillfull as its enemies. Theyll make up flawed arguments like including all of Europe in Germanys stats so that it will equal Soviets as if a bunch of countries that dont speak the same language with different leaderships, commitments and goals are the same as 1 single country. Or that Germany which singlehandidly gave US, SU, Britain the toughest fight in their history was somehow composed of bumbling, incompetent generals.

@@stuka80 As I said, literal Wikipedia stuff. It places population of Germany in 1940 at 110 million, including de-facto annexed territories (primarily Czech lands), and even if we consider that fewer people were mobilized there, the loss ratio of 1:1.3 (you have to include that half of europe i was talking about, and its losses) certainly shows that USSR's victory wasn't achieved by throwing countless bodies at the enemy, WW2 didnt occur during middle ages when that kind of a tactic could be useful.

@@stuka80 And by the way, the number of PoWs during the war is comparable, but more than half of soviet prisoners died in nazi camps, but about 1/6 or 1/7 axis prisoners died in soviet camps. This skews the data, the USSR did not commit genocides against its enemies and axis did. This was an intentional policy.
