Very few people know that only 80,000 people/soldiers defended Moscow in August 1941 by December it was over 3 million. Had Guderian been allowed to move on Moscow after his absolute victory in Smolensk as he wanted he could have taken the city by or before October BEFORE the arrival of the Siberians and prevented the build up of the Russian armies forcing Stalin to flee and perhaps killing or capturing Zhukov and winning the war ultimately. The battle for Kiev was fought instead and won but sadly the Ukrainans would have gladly surrendered and fought with the Gemans to be rid of Stalin if Moscow had been taken first.

Moscow is just a city (albeit the largest) and capturing it is just a symbolic victory. Hitler needed a major strategic victory and that involved the capturing of Ukrainian agricultural region (Kharkov was an important city as it sits on a heavily industrialized and coal-mining region of Donbass). The next strategic victory would be securing the oilfields at Caucasus. Yes, it might be good to capitalize on a cheap shot at victory when Moscow had only 80,000 men defending, but it might be better to encircle the city and capture large number of men defending it (which was during December 1941 when there was over 3 million men). One can take reference from the concurrent Second Sino-Japanese war when Nanjing fell rather easily and the government allocated all the industrial assets to the mountainous rear in order to continue fighting the war.

The Battle of Moscow was the first turning point in the war. Germany tried what many others failed to do, subdue Mother Russia. Stalingrad was the real big turning point, but Moscow was the harbinger of what was to come for Germany, i.e. defeat. Recall that at the time of Stalingrad and Moscow, Germany was fighting a one-front war, save for the fighting in North Africa to assist the Italians there. Parad Pobedy zavershen.

Good coverage overall, and I didn't know Kalishnikov was a survivor of the Bryansk Pocket. Actually, Rokossovsky and his 16th Army were right up there opposite Smolensk when the German offensive began, and he somehow managed to lead many of his men out of the pocket, like he had done so well during the previous Battle of Smolensk. And it was Rokossovsky's army that was dealing with the final German panzer thrusts toward Moscow from the northwest. German survivors of the battle claimed they could look down the valley and see the towers of the Kremlin, albeit many miles away. On my CoatneyHistory webpage, I have a number of free print and play games about Barbarossa and the Battle of Moscow - in scale all the way from Postcard Barbarossa! and Moscow Embattled up to (brigade to army level with very big maps) Death Struggle and Barbarossa's Climax ... the latter having a brain-breaking combat odds expansion system enabling German breakthroughs even seemingly against the odds ... while accepting the risk of heavy losses instead.

Great series, but one glaring error, at Kiev the Nazis had no choice, you can't leave a 500 mile flank, who are you kidding? The Russians had to stop the drive on Berlin for the very same reason, the Nazis were on their flank in Pomerania. Just because the ardent anti-communist Guderian says Moscow should have been the #1 target, whatever that means, the Nazis couldn't take Leningrad let alone Moscow. If Guderian didn't turn south they wouldn't have gotten Kiev. WTF are you talking about? Oops another glaring error. The Germans were exhausted in 0ct 1941, they needed to resupply, the weather had little to do with it.

The 300 that didn't escape died during the escape or didn't even bother to try and where executed after the event for revange. They first killed most or all SS officers in the camp with improvized knifes and stolen axes and then just rushed as fast as they could while getting shot by the Ukrainian mercenaries who guarded the camp.

Great series o/ Just a note: I often see people focus on the numbers involved without taking any time to think of what the numbers actually means. For example: 50% losses in a western, front-line division often meant that the division was half useless as most of the combat troops have been killed and the '50%' that remains were mostly logistical troops. The same could not be said for eastern armies (Russia/Japan/China) as they required far less logistical support. Furthermore in SOV units it often didn't matter as second-echelon conscripts had the same amount of training as the first-echelon units. But for 'qualitative' German divisions the effect was devastating.

Compromises are the worst. Once they decided Moscow was NOT important Hitler should have never agreed to resume the push. There was no decisive battle in this war, that is a myth, it was a correct assumption that the Russian Armies needed to be destroyed and the industrial capabilities captured. That is why the drive to Baku is a good choice in 1942 and that is why again the compromise to also take Stalingrad is devastating. Stalingrad was of no value just like Moscow is of no value in this war and Kursk is of no value later ... Germany is sacrificing irreplaceable troops for unnecessary targets. 1941 November was the moment to halt the offensive dig in rebuild the railroads bring up the supplies, take the war dead seriously switch to full European mobilization and full wartime economic mobilization, form a free Russian Army and a free Ukrainian Army from the captured POWs, ask Britain for terms of an armistice at least and under no circumstance ever declare war on the US.

The Soviets had fresh divisions holding the line after he fall of Smolensk, and they were well fortified.

It was a defensive plan so easy even STAVKA couldn't mess it up.

In hindsight, would it have been wiser to halt offensive actions and establish a strong mobile reserve with anti-tank pac front capabilities.

Mark Becker. Silly opinion, since the basic ideas behind the Kalash, such as simplicity would never have passed Tscherman standards and are not present in the Stug, which perfectly follows kompliziert.de standard (Tübingen geprüft, oder? ) You can look up Skorzeny's dissapointment on not being allowed to copy perfectly suitable and simplistic weapons made abroad, which also violated kompliziert.de standards.

+Mark Becker Kalashnikov didn't copied Stg.The father of AK is again Hugo Schmeisser.The so called AK 47 was modernized variant of Stg44 made by Schmeisser when at the end of war he was ''invited'' to work in USSR ( Ijevsk) He replace the roller bolt in Stg with rotating bolt in AK. The soviet propaganda invented the myth that AK was made by soviet citizen.

In fact, M-16 is more like STG44. There are more differences between AK-47 and STG44. radikal.ru/lfp/s020.radikal.ru/i716/1609/21/e8dfbf53a21e.jpg/htm s00.yaplakal.com/pics/pics_preview/6/9/6/11009696.jpg
