Whats amazing is the amount of soldiers they still had right up until the end, now countries struggle to muster armies a fraction of that size

It´s the beginning. WWII also start with "little" annexations. Our chance is to stop Russia now otherwise you will struggle to say that again.

@Gutser Hundred The Russians who liberated camps? Whose side should we be on?

@Canadian Prepper no wars require that amount of mobilization today luckily. But seeing how a weakened and almost economically collapsed Germany could build such a powerful army that quickly, im of what people could do with todays far more destructive weapons.

@Gutser Hundred you're forgetting something.. There are militas in Luhansk and Dontesk actively fighting Ukraine... there weren't militias in the countries that USSR and Germany conquered that defected to the Axis powers so your propaganda ends here

4:07 The sheer numbers of troops invading the Soviet Union is crazy and what's even more scary are the numbers of Soviet troops encircled and captured by the Germans during operation Barbarossa. Truly mind boggling.

You will probably be surprised, but the author forgot to add Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel for the German army. In total, about 4 million Germans invaded the USSR and about 870 thousand allies. The author also forgot to add the personnel of the Air Force, Navy and NKVD for the USSR. Total should be 3.2 million (instead of 2.7) on June 22nd. But of course not all of them were near the border. In addition, for some reason, the author showed the Finnish army separately, and included the Red Army that opposed it in this region in the total number.

Operation Barbarossa is not only unfilmable, but I'd say it's damn near unimaginable. A 3 million man offensive is like 300 Battle of Helms Deeps going off across six months and 600,000 square kilometers.

test

​@silverhawk361largest human offensive in human history, and most probably of all time. Also those 6 months confrontation did almost 80% ww2 theatre( more than pacific eastern and southern theatre combined)

What purges of officer corps do to an army

This is why I love geography, maps, and history. They always tell a vastly different story than the ones you hear about in common media outlets. Anyone who grew up in the US consuming movies and the such would never understand that the majority of WW2's European theatre happened on the Eastern Front unless they see a map like this and then appreciate that fact.

that's because my star spangled dumbass only paid attention to the parts where America got involved. I think I specifically remember thinking "man this chapter on WW2 sure has a bunch of random crap about egypt in it" which my adult self is disappointed in.

My Americans before us, were more interested in Japan. They gave us the greater insult. They had an atomic bomb already, so they weren’t interested in the “race to Berlin” which the Soviets were doing to retrieve “confidential bomb plans from hitlers science labs”. Our job was simple, neutralize a culture that didn’t believe in surrendering. They would kill them selves when my forefathers landed, and fling themselves off cliffs. It was insane. The emperor finally ordered surrender and he said in his surrender it was due to the fear that we will wipe them off the earth. Ironically we could of, ironically we dropped the bombs to save lives. That’s what our history focused on. To have power but not use it, war is necessary for peace, treat your enemy with compassion and they will remember it. Or Xi and putins propaganda will tell different Stories but the USA focused on Japan and saved millions. They were never going to surrender. They were brainwashed too much.

Geography doesn’t tell that so many Indians fought and died in the two wars. More importantly, the British in particular Churchill, the Butcher of Bengal, caused 4 million of Indians to die because he refused to send rations from other parts of India to Bengal. He instead sent that food to Greece for additional rations for his British army. The fact that so many Indians lost their lives in a war where they had no agency, and in a war where they didn’t get any glory is astonishing. Many European countries lost fewer people than India in a war which was on their own continent for the most part. Hearing the butcher’s voice (who famously said Indians breed like rats and it is good they die off from famine, and asked if Gandhi is dead yet) glorified in Hollywood and British productions is abominable. If Indians were white, this genocide would be talked about at least in same breath as what Stalin did in many parts of Soviet Union.

This could actually be used in history lectures at schools to give an impression on just how colossal the European front was, especially the Soviet one,

But this is complete nonsense! Poland had not only 250,000 soldiers mobilized at the beginning of the war on September 1, 1939. Poland has mobilized 1 million soldiers. The number of German soldiers is also wrong. Because Germany has mobilized 2 million soldiers and not just 1.8 million. It would also be good if the betrayal of Poland in 1939 was somehow mentioned in the video. The British and French declaration of war 1939 against Germany served only for saving face. The British and the French did not intend to keep to the contractual commitment and to attack massively in the west. They wanted to sacrifice Poland for peace with the Germans! This was the continuation of British and French foolish appeasement politics of the 30s! By the way, if British and French had massive attacked the Germans in the West, the Germans would have lost the war because they were not prepared for a two-fronts war!

​@GreatPolishWingedHussars the troop numbers a well just that, troop numbers. The actual army is much bigger but are behind the front lines, i.e., logistics

@Oblivion Eagle Your claim is wrong and nonsense. Because in the video the total number of German troops is correctly stated. In this context, the total number of troops is always stated.

@ GreatPolishWingedHussars The russian army had 12 million personal towards 1943 - 1944, while it correctly shows only 4 - 5 million on the front

@Oblivion Eagle Then that's another mistake in the video! But that was the Soviet Army!

Some people are talking about how France fell within 6 weeks of the German invasion, or how Norway fell in but a few months, but nobody talks about how Denmark survived Germany for an incredible... 6 hours.

The invasion of Norway took 2 months.

"Among German-occupied territories in Western Europe, this made Norway the country to withstand the German invasion for the longest period of time – approximately two months." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_occupation_of_Norway

Its important to note how impactful the text at 9:29 is. 22.7 million British men and women, in 1943, made up half of the countries ENTIRE population - which included the elderly and children. Essentially almost every able man and woman was helping towards the war effort.

Cool. And now? Germany is Part of the EU, they are not. Germany never loses a WW, they won every time because they still exist as one of the riches Countrys in the World. 😙

​​@Olliwouldn't say still won by referring to post ww1 what was going on then with the post war treaties, hunger, inflation, no jobs, that all was basically why ww2 even started in the first place and the NSDAP got a foot in the door. Also in my opinion the EU itself with the Euro "promise" broke our back and former glory aswell as anti german politics of the last 20 years. I doubt we will recover in the next decades from that.

@Olli The Germany in the EU is not the one that started WW2.

However this is complete nonsense! Poland had not only 250,000 soldiers mobilized at the beginning of the war on September 1, 1939. Poland has mobilized 1 million soldiers. The number of German soldiers is also wrong. Because Germany has mobilized 2 million soldiers and not just 1.8 million. It would also be good if the betrayal of Poland in 1939 was somehow mentioned in the video. The British and French declaration of war 1939 against Germany served only for saving face. The British and the French did not intend to keep to the contractual commitment and to attack massively in the west. They wanted to sacrifice Poland for peace with the Germans! This was the continuation of British and French foolish appeasement politics of the 30s! By the way, if British and French had massive attacked the Germans in the West, the Germans would have lost the war because they were not prepared for a two-fronts war! So without that shameful betrayal in your listing there would only have been invasion of Poland nothing else. Although that was a raid against Poland. If Poland hadn't been betrayed, the list would also end with the victory against Germany in 1939. Since the betrayal is denied in the comment below, I will explain here what the betrayal was like. Three tactical main actions in the event of a German-Polish war contained the agreements with the British and French: 1. France immediately carries out an air campaign according to a pre-determined plan. 2. As soon as part of the French troops are ready (on the third day or so), France will progressively launch offensive actions with limited targets. 3. As soon as the main effort of Germany was directed against Poland, no later than 15 days after the German attack France with British support would begin with the bulk of its troops an offensive action against Germany. If, according to this plan the British and French had massively attacked the Germans in the west the victory would be certain because Germans were not prepared for a two-fronts war. But it is claimed that an attack was not possible. So it is lied that help for the Poles was not possible. That's a lie! This is a useful myth For British and French that the Germans were so strong that Poland with French and British had no chance to win. In reality the Germans were not at all prepared for a two-front war. The Germans had no chance in two-front war against Poland, French and British! The French and British would only have had to attack massively in the West as agreed and the war would have ended quickly with a victory for Poland, France and the British! By the way, the France and the British could have quickly discovered by enlightening their opponents during the attack that the Germans had little air support in the West because 90% of German front line aircraft were in Poland. Germans had also hardly any tanks in the West. And that the French and British could also quickly realized that the Siegfried Line was a fake. They just had to attack. Even the most incompetent of generals would have won against this weak German troops in the West. That would also have complied the agreement and the war plan concluded with Poland. British and French only had to have the will to fight and loyalty to their allies. The Germans had nothing in the West in 1939. Only inferior reserves without tanks and hardly any air support. Part of the reserve was without training! WITHOUT TRAINING! After war German military commander Alfred Jodl said that "if we did not collapse already in the year 1939 that was due only to the fact that during the Polish campaign, the approximately 110 French and British divisions in the West were held completely inactive against the 23 German divisions." German General Siegfried Westphal stated that if the French had attacked in full force in September 1939 the German army "could only have held out for one or two weeks." Franz Halder Chief of the German General Staff of the Army documents this fact in his war diary. "The Wehrmacht had been on the verge of a military logistical catastrophe in the Polish campaign. The happy ending after a few weeks saved her from having to stop the fight because of insufficient ammunition." For all that reasons the Germans had lost the war because Germans were not prepared for a two-fronts war! The French and British would only have had to attack massively in the West as agreed and the war would have ended quickly with a victory for Poland, France and the British! But they didn't attack and thus shamefully betrayed Poland. But these facts are denied today. It is mendaciously claimed that an attack in the West was not possible. But it's a lie that support of Poland was not possible. Claiming that the French and British did not have the capabilities or ability for a massive attack in the West is also a lie that is being spread. This is also a useful myth for British and French that the Germans were so strong that Poland with French and British had no chance to win. So the mendacious legend is spread of the not ready for war or incompetent for attack French and British! The historic facts contradict this legend! Because the French themselves proved that they were capable to attack in 1939! This was the Saar offensive! This offensive has clearly shown that the French were capable of attacking, contrary to the mendacious legends spread about the impossibility of a massive attack in the West to hide the fact that Poland had been betrayed by its allies. The fact is that even without British support, France was able to defeat the Germans in the West in 1939 without any problems. The pre-emptive mobilization was started in France on 26 August and on 1 September 1939, full mobilization was declared. Six days after the German raid on Poland, the French attacked and encountered little German resistance. A French offensive in the Rhine valley began on 7 September, four days after France declared war. The most of German army was preoccupied in the attack on Poland and the French enjoyed a decisive numerical advantage along the border. 90% of German frontline aircraft were in Poland. Eleven French divisions advanced along a 32 km (20 mi) line near city of Saarbrücken, against weak German opposition. The Germans retreated more as to fought. The French army advanced to as far as 8 km (5.0 mi) in some areas, and captured about 12 towns and villages unopposed...By 9 September the French occupied most of the Warndt Forest. The French 32nd Infantry Regiment made further gains on 12 September, seizing the German town of Brenschelbach. The French held German territory along all of the Rhine-Moselle front, but on 21 September French units were ordered to return to their starting positions on the Maginot Line. This betrayal of Poland in 1939 was not only dishonest but it was also a military stupidity of truly monumental dimensions. The opportunity to fight a brief, localized war against Germany was therefore lost in September 1939. In hindsight, also lost were the opportunities to save millions of lives and to have prevented the creation of conditions that led to the Cold War. As General Ironside the Chief of the British General Staff stated in 1945, after much of Europe was in ruins and 50 million have died, "Militarily we should have gone all out against the German the minute Germans invaded Poland. ... We did not ... And so we missed the strategical advantage of the Germans being engaged in the East. We thought completely defensively and of ourselves. By the way, it was also part of the betrayal that Poland was actually hindered by the British and French in the preparations for war! Finally, in the latter days of August, as war loomed on the horizon and Germany massed more than one million men along the Polish frontier, ​British and French recommended Poland not to provoke the Germans by fully mobilizing Polish armed forces. Trusting in their allies, the Poles did as they were asked. Consequently, when the German attack came, the Polish army was only partly mobilized, making it that much easier for the Wehrmacht to split Polish defenses and drive deep behind Polish lines. That was also the reason why the 30 Polish reserve divisions could not be mobilized quickly enough as reinforcement. This was the continuation of the absurd Franco-British appeasement policy of the 30s which enabled the Germans to massively rearm for the war, occupy Czechoslovakia and then to raid Poland. Whereby the refusal to support Poland in 1939 by not massively attacking the west as agreed with Poland was also part of this irrational appeasement policy. As I noted, these non-attacks in the west were the Franco-British message to the Germans, do not attack us behind the Maginot Line and in the British Isles. We do not attack Germany either! But the Germans had other plans and the betrayer got the reward for their treason in 1940 with the massive German attack in the West. The result of this German attack was defeat in 1940 with the finale of the Dunkirk escape. Yes, in contrast to the raid on Poland in 1939, this was only a one-front war and the Germans were able to concentrate their attack entirely on the British and French. The Franco-British strategic advantage of 1939 was not given and the Germans had the opportunity to win which they also used. In any case, one should not forget that this betrayal gave the Nazi nation the opportunity to occupy various countries and commit various genocides there. A total of 75 million people died through the effects of war, but were mainly murdered in the various genocides committed by the Nazi Nation. All of this could have been prevented by the Franco-British massive attack in the West. But unfortunately the Polish allies decided on the shameful betrayal instead of attacking massively in the west as agreed. In conclusion, whoever has such treacherous allies needs no enemies.

​@ GreatPolishWingedHussarsThe Polish Campaign took about only 1 month and just by looking at the later invasion of France it was wise to assume they had no chance to mobilize and go through narrow and fully fortified border between France and Germany just in time to help Poland in any way (not to mention Great Britian had much smaller army than France in 1939 and would have to move them to the continent first). Moreover, the Allies expected to experience long and devastating both sides trench WW I like warfare rather than quick and effective Blitzkrieg. It's a foolish propaganda that claims Poland was betrayed - instead, it was "naive" to rely only on security guarantees.

This new concept has lots of potential. It gives more insight on how powerful countries actually were. Usually, you only have country sizes, which can easily be deceptive. Of course, there’s still a lot more to it than that.

Definitely. This shows the real numbers

It's a step in the right direction, we would need supply situation too, manpower doesn't really say much

Actually, you can also use how well a country is doing to tell how powerful it is.

If you really think country sizes correlates directly towards their military powers then you must be thinking African country are world class

Awesome video. So many little details that each tells a story. A little blip on the map that catches your eye, is a whole battle, thousands of lives lost, and whole books and documentaries on it. Most intense moment in my opinion is when the Germans at Stalingrad are surrounded, the audio switches to Hitler ranting and raving, and after initially seeing German attempts to rescue them (I believe this is Manstein's Army Group Don), the front moves a shocking distance west before the Germans at Stalingrad finally surrender.

That's not Hitler ranting that is Joseph Goebbels the German propaganda minister in his infamous "total war" speech. Which by the way is the first time the Nazis hint at the possibility that they might lose and victory is not certain in front of the German population. And I agree with you - Stalingrad was the battle of the century, and by knowing just a little bit about 20th century and it's battles that's saying a lot. It was so close ! Both authoritarian regimes just poured their hordes in that city which by the second week was almost completely leveled with the ground... Constant fighting for every inch of ground, constant bombardment day & night, and just imagine - the civilian population was NOT allowed to leave the city! The ultimate ideological confrontation in history. Rest in Peace to all those human souls that died in this terrifying yet pivotal moment in history. 🙏🏻🕊

​@Therealmuthaphukkin GWhere did you get the myth about the ban on the evacuation of the population of Stalingrad? Is it from an ugly movie *Enemy at the Gates*? And Stalingrad itself was a strategically important point. It was, in fact, the only large city in the steppe where one could spend the winter. It was also a springboard for the Soviet leadership for a possible offensive on the flank of the Nazi army advancing into the Caucasus. And in the Caucasus, more than 80% of oil production for the USSR and the loss of such an important resource would lead to an extremely strong weakening of the Red Army and the Soviet Union as a whole. If this city did not have such an important significance, then the German army would not at all costs, absorbing all the reserves, try to push the Red Army fighters across the Volga.

I saw your video yesterday when Jake Broe used it to compare the territorial advance in Operation Overlord compared to the Ukrainian counter-offensive. You've done an amazing job! The Russian advance in the east was startling. I've read it and seen static maps, but watching your video brought it to life. I hope this is used in history classes. Thank you for your work.

It was not "the Russian advance", it was the Soviet advance. Many different people other than Russians including Ukrainians fought in it.

@ Jason Parmenter Russian Empire->Soviet Union, all I have to say.

​@ftkRussian empire negative greater than soviet union?

@ Jason Parmenter The wast majority were Russian. A lot of ukranians were on the german side.

It's a bit dramatic to describe the German-Polish war as "the largest conflict humanity has ever seen".

but it started from poland, and it affected millions of lives. invasion of poland was a justification

@FireBabol Progamer 221 yeah, it was just the beginning of bloodshed.

You could say that if you forget 95% of the war.

That's not what he is describing. He said: "Germany declares war on Poland and throws the world into the largest conflict humanity has ever seen." This obviously implies the start of WW2, not just the war between Germany and Poland.

Yes I noticed that but it's hard to criticise this immense effort.

К сожалению уже некому будет смотреть анимацию про третью мировую войну

Muito bom o mapeamento cronológico da II Guerra Mundial.

The Operation Barbarossa section gives me chills every time. The music, the gigantic numbers, hundreds upon hundreds of thousands encircled. 80% of men born in the USSR in 1922 would be dead by the war's end, and those three months reflect it wholesale. The air raid sirens and general chaos of the music really drive home how barbaric it was.

Только чтсла врут. У германии 5.5 миллиона человек включая 800 тысяч из остальных европейских стран.

@Владислав Котляр Germany had only 3.4 million 326k were romanian and 400k Italian 75k Hungarian (these ain't entirely accurate but they are close)

@Владислав Котляр 5,5 mln had stalin's red army. The true lie is that the red army had never fewer soldiers than the Bundesware. Saying the other means repeating and distributing the soviet's myths.

I like the word 'barbaric' in this context. People in high places, considered to be god-like, actually just a bunch of hobos killing innocent people for nothing.

@Vyacheslav Romantovsky the other 2m was in Siberia and other fronta

When I watched oversimplified, the war looked more of a Germany vs the West and the Soviets, but after I watched this it showed me the presence of the USSR in the war. The soldier numbers on the warfronts show how much soldiers and deaths there were.

From what i can remenber, about 4 million soviet troops were killed in the war.

​@I have no lifein fact it's about 12 millions of troops and 12 millions of civilians

​@Cray Zee 12 million is a bit high

@Cray Zee Try 9 million from the military and 19 million civilians. The scorched earth policy was even harder on civilians than the germans. One fourth of the entire soviet population got wounded or killed.

This is so well done. So many elements so well synchronized. Worth watching on repeat.

Would be even greater if the bottom texts didn't overlap at 6:50 and it they didn't have a cringe alarm stock sound effect. Other than that, I agree.

@SexDrugsNpostprodwhat alarm clock, it was amazing

@Bullet Berg alarm "stock" sound effect

@SexDrugsNpostprod give me a time stamp

i have friends from Volgagrad (Stalingrad) whom their grandparent used to tell them stories on how they used to walk over layers of dead bodies after the battle has ended. land was fully covered with corpses and blood.

damn

My grandfather fought there, yet on the wrong side. Never talked about it ever.

I was born in 45. My mother told me that whenever the Western Union Messenger came to the neighborhood when World War 2 started and ended, everyone in the neighborhood was in full dread. She said that the messenger himself did not had a very unpleasant job in those days. One could see the wear and tear on the guy. When someone opened the door because the door bell rang and the messenger was there, anyone knew what it meant and it was real strain for the messenger. On the other hand when the Japanese surrendered everyone was in ecstasy. It meant an end to Telegrams telling people that a husband, son, the kid down the street, was killed in action, MIA, became a POW, was severely wounded or lost a leg(s) or an arm.

Semoga info ini bermanfaat, terima kasih!

@Khun Pram I'm guessing that this comment was put in here by mistake. It's from someone from Indonesia explaining how cancer can be treated.

Kevin - Thanks for your comment . It really helps to put the Asian Pacific War into context . This war may have started in 1937 , but it was really the Americans who defeated the IJN and IJA . The part that is nearly always missed is that Truman and his advisors wanted to get rid of Japan's military government for all time , and bring in human and democratic rights - so Japan would not rise up again like Germany did after WW I . So while under US occupation , Japan's Constitution was changed in 1947 . .

В Советском Союзе из юношей 1923 года рождения, до 1950 дожили только 3%. Остальные погибли или умерли от ран вскоре после войны.

Wow, the Soviet Red Army went from upper 2 million in Oct 41, up to 4 fng million in Dec 41. During the same time the Wehrmacht went from 3 million to upper 2 million. That is hugely significant and yet I, and I consider myself fairly well versed in History, especially WW2 History, wasn’t aware of this.

the german manpower management was awful to say the least

Incredible how fast the germans pushed across Russia for the first few couple of months of operation Barbarossa

all decent generals were cut out during the purge or escaped long before, the command was confused and unorganized, Stalin personally did not believe until the last that the war had begun. Only the fleet did not suffer heavy losses on the first days of the war, because the commander-in-chief of the fleet ordered it to be put on alert

⚡war but Russian is a big big country ask the generals they new it was madness ❄💧❄☠️

The Russians planned it that way, multiple lines falling back, the lines getting denser as they fell back into each other like a spring being compressed until the Germans came to a point where they couldn't push forward anymore, then the rebound came.

@fenrar36 Where did you read that? The doctrine of the Soviet Union was that military operations would be conducted only on enemy territory, at least that's what they told the population of the country.

@fenrar36 complete freestyle theory, nice saga you are writing here

Quite informative and well researched. Understandably not an easy task. Thank you very much for your incredible work.

Proud to say that I’ve personally known a Red Army general who took part in the defense of Moscow in 1941 (he was a lieutenant back then). He told me a horrifying story of how he killed a German soldier with a shovel in a trench, and cold manner in which he spoke and the sinewy strength of his handshake at 90+ y.o. makes it easy to believe that it actually happened. He started the war in 1941 and finished it near Berlin in 1945 - until his last day he was very sad to remember this war and this video shows why quite well. His name was Yuri Fedorovich Zarudin.

Is he in Hoi 4?

Something to consider; in the beginning stages of WW2, there was little interest amongst the American population to get involved in another European war. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor forced the United States into the war. There is a real possibility that if the Pearl Harbor attack had not occurred, the entry of the United States into the war would have at best been delayed by several years or not happened at all.

Pearl harbor has interesting backstory as well. Nothing happens for no reason. Also japan was the first participant of world war to start a war. Somehow the least talked but certainly not least interesting.

And then every occupied country would have been liberated by the soviets. Imagine a world where that happened

Hi Christopher, awesome video. Thanks so much for sharing. What program did you use for your animated war map showing the shifting borders and encirclments? Are these animated masks in After Effects?

The troop numbers really put into perspective just how incompetent the Italian army was, they almost always outnumbered significantly their enemies and they still managed to lose

its not all about Numbers, doesnt matter how many more ppl you have when the opponent is more strategic and technically advanced.

@Penthax That… that’s what I said… they were strategically incompetent despite having a numbers advantage

@David Gonzalez if you knew the history, you wouldn't write this since the beginning of the war, the regular army either surrendered or deserted, as a result, the USSR had only people who didn’t even hold a rifle in their hands, not to mention the fact that they had just finished military service

Bad commanders and generals, lack of proper equipment, bad leadership, low morale, officer corruption etc Lions led by donkeys

Because warfare isn't about who has more flesh and bones

It's insane how much land was conquered like heat evaporating water. WWII has been the most destructive war ever. (Until WWIII)

bro don’t jinx it 😂

but yes I do agree with you

Who knows what kind of weapons will be used in WWIII. But the next war is fought with rocks and sharps sticks :D

Hats off to author of this massive work. I really appreciate video like that because you can see all details of history puzzle at least. And it may became your own starting point to do a way deep research of what really happened 80 years ago. As russian i can tell that this war spotted a scar on hearts and fates of all russian people who lives in 20 century. Make love, not war.

Thank you, thank you all the soldiers that fought for us to live in peace and the simple people that did not give up and resisted to the end and believed that this will end.

Countless British and American lives lost over a useless war

Watching the pushes and withdrawals on both sides was hypnotic. Every number lost was a life lost or captured. Don't forget that a staggering number of the captured also died. Very impressive time-lapse.

Trevor Brannon only those who were soldiers on either side, dont see why it would include jewish citizens when the video clearly says army sizes

​Trevor Brannon Who cares about the tiny hat people

The commencement of Operation Barbarossa in all its initial glory beginning at 4:10 is utterly Bone-chilling

@AnAngryGamer ngl i copied this off from someome, and posted for my own self because sometimes i play hoi4 and i wanna listen to some of them, a personal list lol, this is to remember them

@iRON that's the same reason why i'm taking those XD

@Guilhoerme aughhh

Thx so much

This is an amazing, well researched and well made video, one of the best WW2 videos ever.

The best mapping video I've ever seen, it has and shows a lot of detail about how the war was, although in some parts of the video the text is superimposed, but still I loved the video 👍

Very interesting video, just a small detail that has importance for Corsicans. On 4 October 1943 the island was liberated, largely thanks to its inhabitants. It was the first French department to be liberated from the Nazi occupation.

And you have to remember something important. The War ends not only because of the Soviet breakthrough into Europe but also because of their siege of Japan on the other side of the world.

It was probably a combination of Japan's complete exhaustion, the nuclear attacks, and the Soviets invading Manchuria.

The persistence of Britain & Ally, Soviet and also Germany when they were in desperate situation is so amazing. Learn something from there.

It was Polish nation that showed true perseverance despite having suffered the greatest losses of that era.

@Cetus444 Польша понесла больше всех потерь?

This actually shows how terrifyingly close Germany was to full-on Europe domination.

What's weird to think is what if they won? Would they mellow out? Would they slowly break up? Would independence be granted at some point? All empires ended at one point or the other. Not in like 5 years, but in like 100 years.

@silverhawk361 the man in the high castle…..that’s really good tv show about alternate history when nazis and Japan would’ve won the war. Interesting but also terrifying

@silverhawk361 Germany wouldn't have been able to keep up with controlling all this new land. Remember conquests require lots of power and wealth to control. They had very little oil and that's a major problem for any modern military that's why they invaded russia and made a mad dash for southern Russian oil fields. Besides the economic problems.. French people would have revolted like the soviet Union did and you can only brutalise people into submission for so long, also russian and German conflict was inevitable.

Europe and Asia actually

Sad really

This timelapse is truly incredible, the WWII is on of the most hard argument to rappresent

stank you

Trivia: It's up to question if Sweden really ever stopped support since we had daughter companies to SKF setup in Germany and traded unmarked gold with them, so it can't be determined when and where the gold came from. Apparently the government also lost miles worth of paper with details of the trade with germany when the allies showed up to look.

I keep coming back to this video, because it's just so satisfying to see Germany grow so much only to lose and face a total defeat, while fighting till the end. Rip to all victims of this terrible war.

So close

Love this visualization. Just wish the bottom text stays longer and more centered because it's hard to constantly shift focus between map and the text. Theres also some weird overlapping between current caption and the next one

As I once heard "War is a place where young people who do not know each other fight not because of hatred but because of old people who do know each other and do not fight."

Не всегда

Et puis le cycle se répète.

It’s terrifying to see how quickly Germany took the majority of Europe. Also, if the Soviets had capitulated (unlikely since they had backup plans if Moscow fell) the the war likely would have been lost. The US were hesitant to get involved and the British simply didn’t have the scale to defend themselves and the oil fields from the power of the Axis, if they had lost either the Axis would have been insurmountable.

its also possible if hitler accepted the offer from ussr to join the axis they would've won, the soviet union wasn't unstoppable but they had large amounts of natural resources and grew quite strong in the later years of war then into the cold war

It is terrible to imagine the fate of the Jews and Slavs, which they could expect in the event of the fall of the USSR.

Incredible video. Well done, bravo! Lost but never forgotten

Something I found interesting was how Britain and France agreed not to sign a separate peace treaty with the Germans and afterward Britain did the same with ussr

here's just one "but", the Red Army in 1941 was beaten in parts, and not all 6 million at once. A significant part of the personnel was on vacation, or in summer camps, and not in combat positions. The first blow was met almost only by the NKVD border guards. And the approaching columns of the army were often smashed on the march, with total air superiority, defeating Soviet aviation at airfields in the first, unexpected raids. And even so, the fighting was extremely brutal.

Massive respect to everyone who fought for their country

@NimdaQA why weeb? why do u have an anime profile picture.

The fact that you transitioned from making HOI4 Timelapses to mapping historical conflicts with extensive research and real-time frontline and army size changes is absolutely incredible. Really well done.

Whats HOI4

@Nietabs Hearts of iron 4

is it made with HOI4?

@László Szalai No, I guess he used After Effects.

Today is 82 years since Russia fought it's bloodiest and deadliest war. A minute of silence for all the 27 million people that died in the war.

10 million*, other 17 million - civillians...

​@ggn2soo in other words 27 million people like he said?

60-80 million*

@Shereen Hussianseriously? Indonesian? I think you American, but this doesn’t have matter, in any case… No

Even tho ww2 was horrible for everyone who experienced it, I sometimes wish I was alive in the us during ww2 to experience the live reactions of the early success of Nazi Germany and Japan and see how worried people were about an axis victory.

Be thankful you weren’t.

The main part about WWII that I can never wrap my brain around is the sheer number of casualties and encirclement of millions of men the Soviet's sustained. Yet they would some how pull more bodies from thin air to throw at the meat grinder. The Soviets were like the Zerg of WWII. Just go back at watch how many armies were encircled by Germany in 1942 on the eastern front. 100k, 600k there, another 500k here. I swear the soviets lost a few million men just in 1942. Mind blowing.

It's so cute to see how western allies waiting until 44 and only in the end, when everyone understood who's going to win, spawned 3 millions and rushed for Berlin.

"western allies" are basically the uk who were imprisoned in their island, and the us dealing with japan in asia.

​@noz "Impwisoned on their iwand" Aww 🥺 what a cute way to refer to Britain, who at that time still had huge part of the world occupied by their evil empire.

@Tersus I think he meant in context to WW2, the British empire had no colony/dominion/free states in Central Europe

Changing attacks from airfields to cities and attacking Russia was possibly the 2 worst things Hitler could have done. It gave the RAF a chance to breathe and fight on and Russia took away a lot of men and resources that could have been used to better advantage elsewhere.

凛冬将至，如果没有那个冬天，德国真的能把俄罗斯啃下来，之后，在积攒实力打英国，有可能统一欧洲

By the way, does winter not affect the inhabitants of the USSR or what?

But attacking and destroying Russia was basically like the main reason they want to war to begin with. The only reason they attacked France so hard and fast is so they could quickly neutralize that side of the conflict so they could put all their focus on Russia. Failing to invade and neutralize the UK fully was the real mistake.

Holy crap. This is the most amazing mapping video of World War 2 I have seen yet. The transitions are extremely smooth, the quality is great, and the army counter and encircled and captured numbers are almost as smooth as the transitions. You even added the background quality of Europe showing the winter snow on the land. This is amazing.

Check out Eastory's WWII Eastern Front Animated..... some of my favorite youtube videos ever. He also did 44 and 45 Western Front.

This map is wrong. Initially Poland was much bigger. The USSR invaded eastern part of Poland in September (started 17 of September 1939).

i cannot verify if everything is perfectly to scale or anything but it seems pretty accurate. What i do not understand is the text at the bottom is misspelled and is covered up 6:51 and 2:29 "postphoned" instead of postponed haha. seems odd to me to put hours and hours and hours of effort into this but then have those weird text mistakes? either way epic video

its not accurate

so great. i can read every sentence at the bottom clearly :/

Fantastic, amazing how static the front lines were for long periods of time

Nice, although you did miss a few things at the end. In September 1944 Finland joined the allies and fought the Germans in what's known as the Lapland war. And in February 1945 Turkey declared war on Germany for UN membership despite not sending any form of military aid to the front. Still cool video.

Surprisingly, looking at this map, Germany captured huge territories of the USSR, the size of Europe itself, but in fact it is only a small part of the USSR itself

World War II was a global conflict that spanned from 1939 to 1945. It involved numerous countries and alliances, and the size of the armies involved varied greatly over the course of the war. Here's a brief overview of the war's progression, including some key dates and approximate army sizes for the major powers: 1. **1939**: - September 1: Germany invades Poland, triggering the start of World War II. - Germany: The German Army, known as the Wehrmacht, had about 3.2 million soldiers. - Poland: The Polish Army had around 1 million soldiers. 2. **1940**: - May 10: Germany launches its Blitzkrieg (lightning war) against Western Europe. - France: The French Army had approximately 2.9 million soldiers. - United Kingdom: The British Army had around 1 million soldiers. 3. **1941**: - June 22: Germany invades the Soviet Union. - Germany: The Wehrmacht had about 3.8 million soldiers on the Eastern Front. - Soviet Union: The Red Army had around 5 million soldiers. 4. **1942**: - The United States enters the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. - The U.S. Army begins building up its forces. 5. **1943**: - Major battles such as Stalingrad and El Alamein take place. - Germany and the Soviet Union continue to have large armies on the Eastern Front. 6. **1944**: - June 6: D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy. - The Western Allies (U.S., UK, Canada) land in France. - The Red Army launches offensives in Eastern Europe. 7. **1945**: - April 30: Adolf Hitler commits suicide in Berlin. - May 8: Germany surrenders unconditionally, marking the end of the war in Europe. - The U.S. and Soviet Union continue to have large armies in Europe. 8. **1945 (Pacific Theater)**: - August 6 and 9: Atomic bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. - September 2: Japan surrenders, officially ending World War II. Please note that these figures are approximate and can vary depending on the source. Additionally, these numbers represent the total military personnel, including not only infantry but also support and auxiliary units. The war saw constant fluctuations in troop numbers due to casualties, mobilizations, and demobilizations, making it challenging to provide precise numbers for each day. Nonetheless, this overview should give you a sense of the scale of the armies involved in World War II.

What I find absolutely crazy is the drop in numbers of the Red Army towards the end of the war, the number of Soviet dead to advance across Eastern Europe is astounding.

The Soviets were building up forces in the Far East in preparation for August Storm towards the end of war against Germany which also explains the drop in numbers.

@NimdaQA Nope, that only happened after the war in Europe ended. By 1945 the Soviets were scrapping the bottom of the barrel for new recruits. Victory came at a great cost.

@NimdaQA The source is wrong

@mr ms paint How so? “Even as the Russians were about to battle for Berlin in April 1945, arrangements were made to release some major Red Army combat units for the coming war with Japan in the Far East. Beginning in March 1945, Stalin began transferring forces to the East, including the Karelian Front and the 2nd Ukrainian Front. (A Front was the Soviet equivalent of a U.S. Army Group and generally consisted of three to five armies—more than 100,000 men.) “ Source: Warfare History Network “A Soviet build-up began in February 1945 and *accelerated greatly after April.”* “From *April* to August the Russians moved 30 divisions, 9 brigades, and other units from *Europe* to bolster their forces already in the Far East.” Source: Garthoff, Raymond L. “The Soviet Manchurian Campaign, August 1945.” Military Affairs, vol. 33, no. 2, 1969, pp. 312–36.

Regardless of the overlapping text this is seriously one of the most impressive historical videos I've seen, incredible work

Amazing video! Without the overlap I would rate it 10/10 for perfect.

@Wass Entme As a Corsican I'd rate it 0/10 lmao

Honestly it's not bad, but you just have to take a look at the end of the video to see that Corsica is supposed to be blue

@Jean20B do Corsicans speak French or Italian?

@Candodggolo TM French, we also have our own language (Corsican / corsu) that sounds more Italian than French

The video, of course, is interesting, the animation is superb, and there is almost nothing to complain about. But I am confused by the fact that we did not hear Stalin's or Levitan's speech about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (in Western historiography, the so-called “Eastern Front”), although we deserve to hear speeches by other politicians, including Hitler, during the whole video. I don't know if the author wanted to say something on purpose or if it just happened, but it is what it is.

You miss the little known episode of the liberation of Corsica. From 8 September to 4 October 1943 a joint operation by the Free French army (10000 men) under General Henry Martin, two divisions of the 80000 men of the Italian troops of General Giovanni Magli placed under French command by the Italian HQ, supported by Corsican resistance and a bunch of Free French warships, confronted some 20000 Germans. So Corsica was the first part of France (apart from Algeria) to be liberated.

Yikes, seeing Barbarossa like this further shows how scary Germany had become.

The war was indeed mostly centered between Germany and USSR. The lend lease program definitely helped the russians, but it only constituted about 8% of total material they used during the war. Most of their weapons were of domestic origin. Over 80% of german casualties during ww2 were at the hands of the russians.

Ummm, "the war" was mostly between Japan and China and for a much longer period of time. WW2 wasn't just Europe.

@hubertcumberdale2651  I was referring to the European theater of ww2, but yes, i agree.

4%

Try 80%

It was indeed cantered around both of them, ideologically, racially, and wartime. However some misconceptions. Germans killed and missing is actually 80%. Mainly because of how brutal the front was and how hostile it was. There’s a story of how 20k of 80k died of a German division escaping the Soviets just to surrender immediately to the Western Allies. If you include wounded and POW’s. The actual percentage is 65% of manpower losses on the Western front. I think the Lend lease percentage is based more in tones than actual importance. Because Lend lease was basically the foundations of the Soviet equipment. In airplanes 58% of octane fuel helped the aircraft gain close to parity, and around 80% of aluminum. Estimates show that the aluminum they gained gave them 45,000 more planes to produce out of the total 137,000 they made. With lend lease also giving 30% of the planes. Their airforce would’ve only been evenly matched with Germany in 43-44 despite only facing a portion of it had they not had lend lease. Lend lease also was the backbone of the logistics effort. 33% of the trucks that helped Soviets supply themselves in German territory when rail couldn’t arrive yet. Along with 92% of rails being from lend lease that helped Soviets transport everything across their territory, especially after they scorched it all during the Germans advanced. This was especially vital in 43 and 44 when they were getting all their old territory back. They would’ve been moving in a wasteland they created. 53% of the artillery shells and ammunition was also from lend lease. So yes it was mostly centred, but lend lease was their back bone, and the manpower losses are different than the casualties presented.

I never knew the sheer scale of the encirclements in Barbarossa and it is absolutely stunning that the Soviets managed to win

Some three million Soviets were in captivity by the time Germany reached Stalingrad, with another couple million casualties... And that was only the beginning of the red army's reserves!

it helps to have a much larger population i guess LOL

@įгīīīīīç who won

Жалко, что прозвучали фрагменты речей Черчиля, Рузвельта, а речь т. Сталина не прозвучало, в виде "История показывает, что непобедимых армий не существует" или "Красная армия на вас смотрит весь мир как на силу способная остановить Гитлерское иго"

Hey, I know there are a lot of comments but if you could do a WW1 like this video with the army sizes that would be amazing!

Absolutely love this video, its what got me into geography!

The amount of pain and suffering that took place in the scale of this 15 min video is insane

As a history lover, this video is perfect. The Hearts of Iron songs fit together very well.

Got chills at 4:10 the scale of the German-Soviet war was just so gargantuan and the amount of lives lost is impossible to wrap one's head around...

The music does a great job at conveying that sentiment you just described

the entire US ww2 casualties in just one encirclement, Soviet losses was insanely huge

I feel you. I am German and the suffering that was contained within these few seconds honestly made me anxious. I will do my part to make sure that any of this does not happen again.

The best historical-interactive WWII map I have ever watched, What a masterpeice !!!!!, looking forward to see map in Pacific and Fareast for Battle between Japan Empire and US

Regarding Spain 🇪🇸, in 1939 the Spanish Civil War had ended with the victory of General Franco who imposed a dictatorship that would last until 1975. During World War II, Spain's position was one of neutrality or active non-belligerence, although there was participation of Spanish soldiers on both sides throughout the war. In addition, both Germany and the Allies designed military plans to intervene in Spain in the event that Franco decided to participate in the war. After the allied victory in 1945, Spain was isolated by Franco's sympathies with Germany; isolation from which Spain would not recover until the 1950s with the Madrid Pacts of 1953 with the United States and Spain's entry into the UN 🇺🇳 in 1955.

I'm kind of amazed how emotional I get toward the end of this. just amazing.

You can see People Celebrating The end Of The War its The Greatest feeling ever

I've watched this video so many times this week, and it never gets old.

Imagine if Hitler consolidated his power after taking most of Europe instead of invading the USSR, or if he invaded the USSR first and knocked their massive army out before it could arm itself. You wonder how different things would've turned out.

Hero

Легенда

It's crazy to think that an average HOI4 player has better general staff skills than the best generals of WW2. The only reason Hitler lost is because he was going for the VPs, but never bothered with logistics. No trains = no gains. Train up.

How can he train if he is dead?

It's amazing how Germany was able to fight against so many countries for 5 years

Did she fight alone? On her side were Czechoslovakia, France, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Finland, Romania, Croatia, Albania, Slovakia...

​@KratosJapan and the USSR (briefly)

@B_scuitJapan was on the other side of the fucking world 💀

Imagine what a joy that was when captivated souls in camps was hearing Russian language and English!

That must have given them chills.

I keep replaying to hear these clips: 1:40 Churchill 5:18 Roosevelt 10:45 Eisenhower

Would it be fair to say that December 1941 was the most pivotal month of the war? Japan attacks Pearl Harbour, and Moscow survives. You could definitely argue that if either of these goes a different way the entire course of history would be very different from that point.

Важнейшим было лето 1941. 1) именно летом 1941 план Барбаросса начал буксовать: немцы долго возились со Смоленском, получили сильный контр-удар под Ельней, не смогли взять Ленинград. 2) Когда Японцы увидели, что планы немцев не выполняются, они решили изменить направление атаки с удара на Советский Союз (вторым фронтом на востоке) на войну на Тихом океане. Декабрь 1941 был следствием того, что удалось сделать советским гражданам летом 1941.

Damn nice work

6:00 - Switcherland : yeepee!

Thanks for the timeline. Improvement suggestion: 13:02 Germany's unconditional surrender. "Uncontrolled" is a typo I guess

Its amazing at 1:44 you can see a small blue dot south of Dunkirk , This is the battle of Lille . Its not really talked about , It was a delaying action made by the french to stop the german from reaching Dunkirk . The french were 40.000 infantry men . The german were 4 division of infantry (110.000 ) and 3 panzer division (800 tanks ) . The french troups hold the attack for 4 days , and surrender themself to the german because they had no ammunition left . They were given by the german the Honnor of war , Its the only time this happend in ww2 to my knowledge .

please tell me more this is surprisingly interesting

@East Germany Do you know that many Frenchmen fought for Hitler in SS Charlemagne division. They were the last on standing defending Berlin against Red army. Loyal to the very end.

@sourav jaiswal so like did they go back to France after the war ended? Or did they go to South America too

@East Germany France. Like majority of Waffen SS, they were not persucated. Also, they didn't commit the war crimes. Very few divisions were involved in war crimes. SS-Totenkopfverbände were in charge of concentration and extermination camp. 95%+ were not charged. Dirlewagner group (I am ashamed to be of the same species as him), Fallschirm-Panzer Division, 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division Reichsführer-SS were some divisions involved in crimes against humanity. Their leaders were charged or lynched by guards. 90%+ were let go without any charge.

@East Germany You are from Germany? If so why I know more than you?

Absolutely stunning and actually hit me hard emotionally just watching this

11:53 We wasn't the last ally of Germany by ourselves. It is very important to know that in March 19 1944 Germany occupied the Kingdom of Hungary and removed the leadership which wanted to exit the war and sign peace with the allies.

Thank you for this breathtaking overview, and god bless the brave men and women who lost their lives for saving freedom for europe 💗💗💗

incredibly well made video. thank you for the knowledge

Fun fact: a tractor factory in Stalingrad kept defending itself as long as whole France did

Don’t forget about Pavlov’s house

Hence the French recognising the huge role the Battle of Stalingrad played in weakening the German army, named one of its Paris Metro station as Stalingrad

Legit?

@indischedeutscher is that legit? I never knew that if its true.

It’s so detailed that I am able to see how the blitzkrieg tactic works. The breakthroughs of the enemies lines, the encirclements, the rapid movements of tanks and armored vehicles, etc. They have covered so much land in span for months nearly taking Moscow and it took a couple of years for the Soviet Union to push eventually sacking Berlin. Maybe if I could use the tactic just about everything from video games to chess, I might win.

Вся европейская промышленность и все европейские армии воевали против СССР, когда союзники открыли второй фронт только в 44 г.

@королев сережа no not really, they didn’t use industry from occupied lands. Italy was also being invaded, along with North Africa, which further diverted axis resources. Rommel losing his army in 1943 was also critical.

Блицкриг в шахматах. Теперь я видел все. И еще оин вопрос: как СССР разграбил город, где нечего грабить?

@Борис Пинегинyeah there is a blitzkrieg tactic in chess.

But is it not really called blitzkrieg but it seems like it 😅

In October/November 1944, you can see the resistance of the German troops in Alsace because they were using a famous fortitification... The Maginot Line !

Crazy how the war has shaped geopolitics, even to this day.

I hope now everyone understands how late Britain and the United States opened the second western front, too late to save millions of Soviet soldiers' lives...this is a terrible tragedy.😭😭

The western allies didnt have the logistics to mount an amphibious invasion of France in 1943. You cant just zerg rush the Atlantic wall via the sea. Logistics wins wars

I don't know if you continue in YouTube or if you will see this comment, but I and all of us think if you can make the same video but in the oriental front (Japan vs USA), it would be amazing! Thanks for that video, it was the best WWII map video that I have ever seen, it was a tremendous good work!
