I know the Germans were technologically superior and even Americans had a negative KDR against them (1.5 to 1 I believe) but I read recently that the Germans had an 8:1 kill ratio on the Soviets. 8 to 1.
How the fuck is that even possible? Are slavs that subhuman? It took 8 fucking slavs to kill one German? Same for the Winter War.
Seethe harder, we wiped the floor with your shitty race
Dylan Long
Bruh they were such shitty fighters in the early stage of Barborossa they got rounded up by the hundreds of thousands. I mean like multiple battles, 100,000+ prisoners, over and over and over again. Bruh thats an entire city full of soldiers surrending in a single battle
Stalin literally had to shoot their ass to get them to fight lmao
Because they didn't mind loosing soldiers. Simple as that. When shtf France surrendered and saved what could be saved. The commies nuked their country and didn't give a fuck. China had the same strat to fight the Japanese (especially the Kuomitang, the CCP was hidden indawood). Then during the civil war Mao used the Staline strat against Chiang Kai Chek. USSR officers had poor training as well as their soldiers. Their weapon were shit and they couldn't care less. After they received decent weapon and acquired decent equipment with the lend lease their losses started to even with the Germans.

>fuck they're about to drop shells on us SERGHEI YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO HOP OFF THE TANK THAT'S AN ORDER SOLDIER! *KABLOOSH >red mist on the tank >any scratches on our tank?
Evan Garcia
Because they'd literally put a machinegun at the rear and shoot them down like animals if they dared think of routing.
This is perhaps the most important thing that helped the Soviets win, since the Red Army was largely comprised of untrained conscripts who'd break really easily. Why keep morale high and your army disciplined when you can simply threaten their lives and force them to zerg rush?
One of their main tactics was unironically chink warfare, where they send waves of men against a fortified position and wait until the defenders run out of bullets. It worked, though. But it's pretty subhuman and stupid to do.
Jace Stewart
Also the Red Air Force was constantly BTFO by the Luftwaffe heavily for a good chunk of the war. Air superiority and supremacy helped the Germans along a lot.

Stalin purged the military
Justin Jenkins
Most Soviet Casualties were from the Barbarossa cauldron encirclements, meaning most didn't even fight but were out maneuvered and surrendered.
Their officer corps was decimated by Stalinist purges, were completely unprepared to deal with a German invasion, and the Germans just had the Western Front at their backs so were full of confidence.
Nicholas Jones
this bullshit again, lol
Justin Davis
the soviet strategy was literally to throw wave after wave of men at the enemy until they ran out of ammo and gas. Guess what? It worked... If Germany had the manufacturing capacity of America nobody could've stopped them.
Hunter Richardson
it's entirely accurate. Order 227 was to shoot any soldier who took one step backwards.
Nathaniel Thompson
>BTFO >won the war in Europe almost single-handedly ?
Dominic Mitchell
8-1 dkr is still being btfo, even if your opponent runs out of ammo, and fuel to continue the fight.
Julian Gray
More like 2 to 1 in battle deaths, i would not count civilian deaths or else the chinese would be the best fighter ever with their 20 million+ chinkoid civilian deaths.
Mongolian and Central Asian cannon fodder. It wasn't all Slavs.
Lucas Thomas
because stalin kill all of the generals and officers in 1937
Kevin Harris
It went well because the troops stationed on the Russian side were meant to be an offensive force not a defensive force. Stalin was planning to let Germany be weakened enough so he could invade, and then with Europe weakened enough invade them. Hitler pre-emptively struck at them and took them by surprised, add in the fact that German soldiers were fighting for idealism and security at home it made them better quality soldiers than people living under Communism or Capitalism.
Tyler Smith
yeah, sure, gorrilions of killed deserters

imagine have romanians as allies lmao bottom text

>even Americans had a negative KDR against them (1.5 to 1 I believe) but I read recently that the Germans had an 8:1 kill ratio on the Soviets. 8 to 1. Idiot. That's total deathtoll, with all the civs and POWs indiscriminately killed by germs. Combat kill ratio is not even 1 to 2.
Alexander Martinez
that 2-1 is largely after German forces have been exhausted and are replaced with untrained conscripts. In operation Barbarossa where the prime wehrmacht/waffen-ss decimated the prime Red Army the Germans had a 12-1 kdr. You're an absolute disgrace to your race. Coming from someone who's father is the son of German immigrants, and mother is an actual German Immigrant. Swabia deserves to exist motherfucker!
Isaiah Williams
At the beginning of the war Stalin had just purged all his highest ranking officers and the army was ill equipped and ill trained. Hence the 12:1 ratio. By the end of the war they were a well-oiled machine with momentum on their side whereas the Germans were running out of manpower and supplies. At that point it was closer to a 1:1 ratio.
Thomas Adams
They literally didnt have enough guns to arm them all so they had two groups. Ones with rifles and ones with extra magazine of bullets. When the man with the rifle died the man with the magazine would pick up the rifle, reload and fight.
Anthony Gutierrez
>Bullshit Learn some history, it's not even a novel idea. A lite version of this is part the role the Triarii would play in battles. Inhumane as hell to do it to some untrained ill equipped peasant and an overall waste of manpower, but no one can deny how effective it is.
Bentley Gutierrez
That's not true. They did that in WWI. Stop getting your info from Hollywood films.
Caleb Harris
based call of duty 1, we will never ever have such a masterpiece again

>German youth conscripts relying on themselves against an entire world >Soviets being supplied by Americans, and Canadians to the point where their greatest flying ace flew an American made plane. if anything Operation Barbarossa is a better representation of military might.
Wyatt Reyes
How does it feel knowing Germanic stock is still superior in every way?
Oliver Hernandez
Utter disregard for human life mixed with genuine ineptitude after Stalin purged the previous line of command. Only reason they won is the fact there were so many livestock to throw at Germans. Zhukov actually didn't know how to read and was taking classes in middle of battles to learn how to write.
Chase Hill
Not really. That was when the Germans were at their strongest and the Soviets were at their weakest and unprepared. Why would that be the best comparison?
Nathan Taylor
bros why can't we just have time machine and go back get the truth. fuck man all of this arguing is exhausting.
Chase Scott
and kill retard willy ii who sponsored commies in Russia instead of noname austrian prince? It would probably help us
Camden Allen
because the soviets were never strong, they entirely relied on external assistance to progress. Even after he siege of Moscow they relied on hundreds of thousands of German forces and their supplies being moved to NA in order to have breakthrough at Stalingrad. The soviets were completely incapable of fighting the war by themselves. Whereas the Germans wrekt them in the initial conflict, only to suffer heavy losses against the entire world ganged up against them on multiple fronts.
Angel Clark
Never again with these gypsoid cowards, the only good thing they had was oil and not even that was enough.
>Swabia deserves to exist motherfucker! Schaben existiert noch. What is your point? Even if your ancestors are Germans. What did you accomplish in your life? This is some kind of we wuz kingz. Be worthy of your ancestors by using proper language and do some research about locations like swabia.

>I know the Germans were technologically superior and even Americans had a negative KDR against them (1.5 to 1 I believe) but I read recently that the Germans had an 8:1 kill ratio on the Soviets. 8 to 1.
Germany killed POWs and civilians and calculated it as "enemy casualties"
Soviet should treated them as they did.
Tyler Baker
Stalin purged the officers of the red army after the catastrophic failure in the winter war. They got caught with their pants around their ankles when Germany decided to kick the door in. It took the Germans over extending their supply lines, a harsh winter, and no German defensive back up plan to finally see the red army start pushing back. Once the red army started pushing they didn't fucking stop. The Germans didn't have enough time to set up any defense. The only major defensive action the Germans undertook was the battle of selow heights where the Soviets hit a brick wall and decimated their forces against the German army. The only thing their officers were capable of coming up with was send tanks into the 8.8 fire till either they ran out of tanks or the Germans ran out of ammo. The Germans ran out of ammo first.
>Germany starts a surprise attack, breaking a treaty >Uses a doctrine that was relatively unknown for its time, had no real conventional counters >Uses a spearhead of advanced war machines >German soldiers kill and plunder indiscriminately, making a desperate defense unavoidable, the alternative would be deathcamps
You should remember that the frenchies and the poles surrendered in weeks. France was considered a power on the level of germany. Imagine if frenchies were culled the same way soviet people were, we would be seeing a different death toll today.
Liam Hall
The Soviet's combat strategies saw huge improvements over the span of the war. Their industrial production went through the roof, they produced better and more tanks, their training improved, their leadership improved. Denying all of this just makes you an ignoramus.
