Just tuned in. This show has been really interesting so far.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is one of my favorite books.

pretty nuts that only 2-4% of Germans who surrendered at Stalingrad ever made it back to Germany.

The red army did not frick around

I've watched every WW2 documentary there is and this one is going to be the gold standard.

Because most documentaries, and movies for what it's worth, focus on the western front, most people have no idea that the Wermacht was destroyed in the east.

We would have never gotten off the beaches or broken out of Normandy had we faced all of the divisions the Russians destroyed.

The war's outcome was settled before America entered into the picture. Germany was waning far sooner than most realize.

This footage has been excellent.

Was the Russian army that much more advanced? I never knew if it was simply more numbers or better technology.

Man the expressions on those people's faces. Just complete fear in their eyes.

2 million women raped. good god almighty.

rape isn't the mass extermination of an entire race, however.

This is truly hard to watch... It's impossible to comprehend what occurred during this dark time in World history.

Makes you wonder how different the world could've been had we beaten the Soviets to Berlin and helped prevent their occupation.

They beat the Wermacht due to 3 reasons:

Home field

T-34

Zhukov

T-34

they were fairly effective against the tiger tanks...and much faster to reproduce.

And the Germans under estimating the Russian winters was a huge mistake

Been to Dachau 3 times. Every time I have been school children are there on field trips doing reports. Pretty gruesome stuff in the museum. The worst pictures are the medical experiments.

The lamp shade made from human skin with tattoos is also pretty fricked up.
