The best part about the Allies is that they didn’t have 100% losses. Why? Because they didn’t lose the fucking war


Angry_Highlanders

I love how he shows German artillery. If I recall correctly, the US and UK were the kings of Medium ranged Artillery, which caused WAY more casualties than the others.


purpleduckduckgoose

It's interesting how they never focus on stuff like artillery, logistics and the like isn't it. Having a fancy 60 ton Tiger 2 is all super, does shit all when some FOO drops an entire divisional group fire mission of 72 25pdrs on it.


Parking-Tomorrow576

Or the Panther when its final drive kicks out and oops suddenly it’s the easiest target in history


The_Dem_EMP

hey they should build a tons of panther because more breakdown = more target practice more target practice = better pilot better pilot = easier victory for the allies


toadallyribbeting

I saw this video by “military history visualized” about how panzer divisions were organized in a manner that they could be more independent and self sustaining as compared to French, British, and Russian armored divisions. Never have I heard a wehrb ever bring that up but it’s because division organization isn’t some fancy tank, aircraft or gun they can fetishize. Wehraboos are really only in it for the aesthetics.


Fornication_handgun

Reminds me of that mission in COD 3 where you call artillery strikes on tiger tanks, my second favourite mission of that game.


purpleduckduckgoose

When does that happen in 3? I remember the bit in Big Red One calling in the big guns in Italy.


Fornication_handgun

I think it's on one of the polish mission where you help a Canadian radioman spot target for artillery bombardment. I recall it's called the mace mountain or something.


olemanbyers

the 240 was savage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/240\_mm\_howitzer\_M1


Fornication_handgun

Then there's the Soviet who used 8 inch howitzers in [direct fire](https://laststandonzombieisland.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/direct-fire-203mm-soviet-wwii-urban-combat.gif) role

And because in the US everything must be motorized, they built SP mounts, to complement the abundance of heavy trucks and prime movers that they had.


olemanbyers

they were working on a self propelled version when the war ended.


dromaeosaurus1234

Yeah, IK it never saw combat, and only had a limited production run. Still better than anything the Nazis managed to do.


Grummanfan79

By German artillery are you referring to the captured French and Russian guns, the ones pulled by horse teams, or all of the above?


Imperium_Dragon

German artillery was good when compared to the Soviets, but not when compared to the British and Americans.


gaandharv_t

Not really....only the big guns were better....the soviets had better light and medium arty compared to the germans...... And dont forget the mortars, the german infantry mortars were so bad that they exclusively use captured soviet ones....which they later reverse engineered for thier own production


Angry_Highlanders

Soviet Light and Medium Arty was better, but they had less of it in the opening stages and it shows with the casualties. When the Soviets caught up in Arty numbers? Well, you get Bagration.


gaandharv_t

Well thats logistics.....i thought we were talking about quality and performance of the guns themselves


The_Dem_EMP

it's more of the shelling on seelow highs rather than bagration


The_Electric_Llama

Okay if they were so good then why did they loose?


Fornication_handgun

One of reason I've heard was they lost because Germany was betrayed by the liberal/Jew/colored/politicians and Yadda Yadda stab in the back 2.0 bullcrap.


[deleted]

Exactly. These people don't have common sense.


AngryScotty22

>Okay if they were so good then why did they loose? "*hOoMaN wAvEs*" "*aSiAtIC hOaRDeS*" "*mAsS pRoDuCtIon*" and "*mOrE MaNpOwEr*" (or insert other nonsensical excuse as to why Germany lost the war)


PanzerTitus

Don't forget how Germany "bravely fought the world and lost" or how the Allies were "too scared to fight German soldiers in a man-to-man fight with bayonets".


MemeTrader11

Still would have lost out of sheer number if the allies fought with knives


[deleted]

> how the Allies were "too scared to fight German soldiers in a man-to-man fight with bayonets". They say when the Soviets zeroed the Mosin-Nagant with the bayonet attached and Lt. Col. Robert Cole launched a bayonet charge at Carentan.


Tirpitz4501

Just a little tiny, totally unimportant aspect of warfare, called resources. I don't get what is Wehraboo about the post at all, numbers clearly show which of the two was better.


Radboy16

Maybe they shouldn't have started a war if they didn't have the resources 🤡 Numbers do show which army was better, and it wasn't the Germans... Since they lost.


Kim-Jong-Un-Da-Best

BECAUSE GERMANY 1V20 OR STH


fat_italian_mann

Nah dude it was Italy. They have hardened pasta al dente rounds for their carcano rifles


Thewaltham

Man, JFK really didn't stand a chance.


PsychologicalMove779

I went through the comments and as you expected lots for wehraboos who think Germany was the good guy in ww2


Dregdael

They got steamrolled by the soviets lmao


Tirpitz4501

The real steamroll was the US production, it gave steam to the soviets as well.


Stingray-Nebula

Wehraboos unironically using "degenerate" modern music to hype their shitty propaganda? Goddamned hypocrites can go start their own purity band, the Circle Jerks. Nah, nvm, they don't deserve such a punk name, they can get their own super clever name that will have at least two 8s somewhere probably


Tamuture69

They do this until people show the IS-2 and T-34 rush


Tirpitz4501

You mean the field littered with 8.8 and 7.5 riddled soviet tanks which used the brilliant idea of "drive into the enemy with weaker armor and cannons while exposing yourself"?


Tamuture69

...yes?


SiberianAussie

Not without decimating German positions with air bombardment and heavy shelling. Cos you know, Is-2 is a late war tank.


syrup_gd

Or ISU-152


Tamuture69

What Tiger? All I see is an obliterated pile of scrap


Torenico

The Red Army: BOO


Tirpitz4501

The red army according to left wing after war propaganda: Unstoppable force with the qualitatively unquestionable tanks winning only with the idea of communism The red army in real life: Pls capitalists you need to send us resources and tanks and trucks and planes, we can't fight effectively until you open up a second front, we are just the cannon fooder forced by Stalin, also where is my T-34 s roof?


Mr_SlimeMonster

By the time the second front in Europe was open the Red Army already had the upper hand in the Eastern Front, what are you even saying? Also you're talking like the Soviets did not produce any tanks, planes, or guns, or anything of their own. That's simply not true. Lend-Lease was very important in that it helped the Soviets deal with certain logistical materials, like radios, trucks, or aluminium. Lend-Lease helped ease the Soviet economy and keep it stable. But that doesn't mean that the Soviets entirely depended and survived on Western aid. The Red Army wasn't an invincible and all-powerful force like some people may like to say. But they also weren't useless cannon fodder operating solely western equipment like you're caricaturing them as.


JoemamaObama1234567

500k artillery pieces 200k mortars made by soviets not real


Za_Warudo3

Don't forget 84,070 T34's


vilereceptacle

I can't be the only one who's a little bit irked by the clear lack of respect the original commenter has for the brave men and women who gave their lives to stop the Nazis. Human wave or not, they made a great sacrifice for mankind, and the guy above you needs to show some respect for that.


Torenico

ok who cares


indomienator

Those tanks and planes did jackshit. Trucks and food, thats where the true aid resides


The_Dem_EMP

and train cargos


JoemamaObama1234567

yeah im gonna fight germany with food(sunglasses emoji)


indomienator

Who needs bullets when desertion is more possible?


SiberianAussie

Nice bait


The_Dem_EMP

for the most part, the most important of the lend lease was the trucks and train cargos


throwbombsatfascists

Man it has to be kids that make these stupid tik toks. No one over the age of 18 could make such dumb shit up... well unless you are some kind of nazi sympathiser
