Steves presentation is outstanding, his knowledge, statistics etc. He talks and puts it over so easy to understand. Not reading off a script, to me he is a master in his field. Many thanks Steve and Woody
it is interesting how both germans and soviets found use for obsolete light tank chassiss in the marder/su-76 being quite similar in concept, even if actual usage was different (antitank versus infantry support)
is-2 was great doorknocker for bunkers and field fortification - and city houses if needed
charles moon was my dads great uncle ! we have a memorial for him up on our wall with that exact picture of the sign ! great video !!
Do you know more of the story?
So much information clearly presented by Steve Zaloga.
Stalin was just a bloody handed opportunistic neo imperialist. He and his gang should have been put on trial at Nuremberg for war crimes.
👍👍👍Lovely! Military history royalty on one of the cult classics. I bet Steve's Bagration book has been on my shelf for nearly 30yrs - when all the old duffers were stuck on Normandy, the cool kids were doing Bagration. 🙂
The eastern front is interesting as it is less covered and so new.
Babe, wake up, WW2TV just posted
Howdy folks! Great overview of the successful wartime alliance of UK USSR USA that kicked Hitler’s ass. Milton has great perspective on this essential but often partnership that was lucky, unstable and always shifting. One of the best shows ever.
Another excellent show, Woody! Also nice to see Mr. Zaloga once again. (I have read several of his books from the good old days and highly recommend them to those who are interested in the European portion of the Second World War as well as the Cold War.) I think the evolution of Soviet self-propelled guns and heavy tanks was one of the most important topics covered in this presentation. Their evolution makes a lot of sense, considering the kinds of constraints Soviet rifle division/corps commanders faced. Unlike the Allies or the Germans, the Soviets were not great in providing indirect artillery support for rifle units especially on the move. (This was extensively talked about in another show featuring Sasho Todorov.) This meant the Soviets needed something that could keep up with the marching riflemen while providing direct fire support. Wehrmacht allocating so many AFVs to the West makes a lot of sense. Besides the issues like the size of the areas of operation and the availability of roads, it was one thing to take on typically leaner Soviet rifle divisions, but a different matter to take on US/Commonwealth infantry divisions which enjoyed significantly better organic and nonorganic support units by both the Soviet and the German standards.
Sorry Paul. Just too technical. Couldn't understand a lot of the content.
Ah well, you can't please everyone, but you should give it a try. It covers the types of tanks each side used, what the concentrations on each front were and the losses etc. I don't think it was hard to follow
Well. about reason to select 122 for IS-2 Steven is not quite correct. It was a set requirement for a gun to penetrate Pinter from a front from 1000 meters. And it was no effective enough 100mm projectile to do so at a time (later is)- it was a new caliber gun. So 122 was chosen as it did do that. Same way he is not quite correct about Zis-3 gun. It was also main anti-tank gun of soviet army during the war. And Su-76 produced (same as light tanks) not a agricultural industry but auto industry. But that minor, idea is same. Also when Steven saying "there is no good numbers" - I think he means pretty old mostly soviet era literature. I think those numbers much more available now. And sorry, but Panzerschreck already in service already like for a year. Reality is that neither Panzerschreck nor Panzerfaust newer been a significant factor other then in urban combat.
I really got a sense of just how important the second front was to the Soviet war effort in 1944 with the comparison of percentages of AFVs committed by the Germans to both east and west fronts. One clearly sees how much the German Army was on the backfoot at this point of the war, but yet how deadly they were in the defensive. The importance of the STUG III and IV machines was also made clear. Great questions asked and answered.
My father stated that he saw Americans, German and Italians buried in the same mass grace at Salerno and or Anzio.
Wonderful presentation and discussion, thank you both.
"The Soviet equivalent of Overlord" - only on a much larger scale and with a far more destructive effect on the Nazi war machine.
The incredible Panzer density against the British Commonwealth in Caen was something I'd often heard of but never seen actually quantified. Never expected to get that nugget on an Eastern Front presentation. The whole presentation was fabulous - lots of fascinating data.
Steve is amazing with his data. Great stuff!
No radar.
I saw Mr. Lewis' book on Josephine Baker at Barnes & Noble.
I think it is my favourite of his books
@@WW2TV Review?
We talked about the book on WW2TV ua-cam.com/users/livend1T1NtG5pw?si=MYspA17eEqLkBigy
Marvelous show. Geopolitics is a fascinating topic. “War is a continuation of politics by other means”
oh the tank master himself!
31:24 I think we can all admit that the Jagdpanzer 38(t) was pretty damn adorable for an armored fighting vehicle.
cutebug would be better name than hetzer... but hetzers gonna hetz!
How does he get access to primary sources?
Steve lives very close to NARA and also used to have access to Russian archives
with regard to stalin: what a nasty piece of work that man was. here goes though. a person serving stalin in his living quarters came in to find stalin reading a book. it was homer and in ANCIENT greek. he was reading it for pleasure. how many people have you met that does that ? he was a deep intellectual that hid behind the mask of a bank robber. of course i have hate for stalin but you can't take away. thank you giles milton. my favourite author.
He had studied in a Greek Orthodox seminary so it’s no shock that he could read greek
Outstanding! Would like to see another video with the chieftain.
So can we conclude. from Steve's presentation, contrary to Military Historiography, that the Wehrmacht were s**t scared of the British Army in Normandy?
Good point
Don't worry, I am just being picky. This is a really good presentation.
Amazing show. Saved to watch when more sober. Watching now again. Thanks so much Woody & Steve. Great combo.
Really good, Steve, but you keep saying '12 thousand' or '16 thousand' when I am sure you meant '1200' or '1600' with reference to tank numbers.
What he meant was actually 12 thousand I think.
Germany never had 12 thousand operational tanks@@Iolo1974
My Grandma, Mum, and Aunt lived in Portsmouth, a V1 crashed into Grandma's allotment it failed to explode.
Intriguing! Great show! The Archives digging bring forth such treasures! Thank you Mr. Milton!
unbelievably good stream, the level of detail Kathy provided was amazing. She knows her stuff for sure and keeps you gripped to the subject.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you.
This was much more fair and balanced than I anticipated it would be. Very refreshing to see this clarity regarding this controversial but crucial relationship.
A great presentation by Giles, so very informative, many thanks Giles and Woody
Stalin settled all of his territorial disputes to re-establish the Russian Empire. He milked the US Lend-Lease program until the very end of the war. Stalin came out looking like a genius playing Churchill and FDR. The airbases were very limited and hardy very important. He made the Poles pay for the defeat of the Red Army in 1921. There wasn’t any chance of Stalin leaving the allies until he had satisfied his territorial ambitions. Add to this the FDR administration was riddled with spies and communists. FDR was a dupe, Churchill knew what he was dealing with, but he lost all power within the alliance. Why would anyone underestimate Stalin, he engineered a vast empire. He did what he wanted and succeeded.
Very accurate assessment.
@@robv141414Sounds overly simplistic and biased to me.
Well, I guess his criticism of FDR stroke some nerve among FDR fanboys but history evidents that FDR was in awe of Stalin's total power and wanted something like that for his presidency on US. That's why he went to fight the third term despite knowing he will die any day with his failing health. He was oblivious at worst and completely ignorant of communism at best which plagued the US and whole world after his death for half a century, because he was stupid and considered Stalin his friend. His follies paved the way for communist takeover of China. He was a bad president to lead the war @@Chiller11
I've read Goering told his troops to be kind to fallen UK airmen - not all bad.
Not all good either. The truth is always somewhere in the middle
Most people don't know about Soviet invasion of Poland.
Most people who watch WW2TV are aware but maybe not in general terms
Another excellent presentation. Great work. Congratulations on the subscribers
Thank you very much!
Does anyone have photographs of 392nd bomb group B-17 named KITTY? Perhaps with the crew? My dad was tail gunner in that plane. Or photographs from Biggs Field with this group of men?
Are you sure you have the correct BG? The 392nd flew B24 Liberators www.americanairmuseum.com/archive/unit/392nd-bomb-group
What a major waste of life for a mopping up operation. I wonder how such an isolated garrison of japs held by so few troops could have been considered of any strategic threat for the major drive on the phillipines in that isolated location why didnt it get by passed and left wither on the vein like literally the whole of wewak or rabaul which had far more enemy troops and far more significant strategically for mine a complete waste of life and resources.
cracking short live stream
Brilliant bid...Kevin awesome job
From what I've read, defenders here were Ukrainians of the Ost Battalion 439, attached to the 352nd Infantry Division. Does that jibe with your info?

I appreciate these type of shows on occasion. Please keep them in the rotation despite the technical challenges.
Remarkable show. I regret that I missed it live. To play Mr. Obvious, I have to remark that the Asia - Pacific Theater was an entirely different war on so many levels.
The more niche it gets the more interesting.
