He told the Khan that these cities aren't especially loyal to the Emperors, and that if he offered that the leaders would surrender the city, in exchange for remaining in power, so long as ample tribute was sent to the Khan, they would do so.

Sarah Paine misses the mark on many WW2 topics and it's best if she does not espouse her opinion and arrogantly present it as fact. Her typical American arrogance coupled with self-confidence is a pretty deadly combo, at least for us who care about historical truth. If you want to listen to comfortable lies then you're at the right spot. She lacks empathy. You do not need to sympathize with the Axis powers but if you want to understand the complexity of the war and its geopolitics you'll need to place yourself in the shoes of the Axis nations. She fails to do this one simple thing. She tries to answer questions on Japanese or German decisions yet still manages to get the answer wrong when we've known the answer for over 70 years. She will obviously have bias (as a DEI hire for the naval war college) and fail to mention many of the sinister sides of our part in the war. Such as our provocations against Japan & Germany in the 1930s following their ban on certain family owned banks. Constant sanctions before the war with lacklustre and hypocritical excuses, and gigantic list of war crimes before, during, and after WW2. Unspeakable things occurred in Berlin, Tokyo, Okinawa, and even France..our "ally".

(Wish I could remember the document or quote, but it escapes me at the moment, apolgies) Hitler equating that policy with trying to take out the Soviet union was a colossal miscalculation, by any view.

His army would attack outlying areas, comprehensively driving them into smaller and somewhat urban areas and forts. Then he would leave would appeared to be an unforeseen route of escape. The trapped people would try to use the avenue of escape and be killed. Chesty Puller, USMC used the same technique in Central America. He identified the routes of escape and cut them off.

The interior ministry of the Soviet Union NKVD killed many Soviet soldiers for various reasons just to maintain very ruthless discipline in the battlefield. Before the Second World War Stalin also eliminated many of the Red Army's most capable officers including three of five marshals, 13 of 15 army commanders, eight of nine admirals, 50 of 57 army corps commanders, and 154 out of 186 division commanders. Besides sometimes very poorly equipped Soviet units were sent to the battle against German units especially in 1941. Stalin didn't care much about own casulties when he gave orders to defend or attack. Those are some of the reasons why so many Soviet citizens died in the World War II, not only because brutality of Nazi invaders. Even when the Soviet prisons of war were liberated in 1945, most of them were sent the Gulag system of forced labor camps to make sure that they didn't get any wrong ideas during their prison time.

Also the Soviets couldn't produce high octane aviation fuel or artillery shells at scale and imported much of this through Lend Lease.

Every one talks about the T34, they produced around 80,000 and lost over 50,000, tank hulls are divided in two the lower hull and upper hull, the design called for sloped armor , they sacrificed armor thickness ,and the angle of degrees equal x number of inches The T34 , also used the Christy suspension system, the had v shaped springs that were located inside the hull. It had a good engine, but a terrible transmission, as a result this led to limits on how fast it could be driven , and when and how to turn the engine over, and the Driver and hull machinegunner had to assist him often to change the gears. There was no turret basket The turret crew of thecT34/76 was a crew of Two, the Commander-gunner and Loader, the turret crew stood upon ammunition cases and also inside that fighting compartment was a fuel tank Contrary to what we have been taught the early Mark Panzerkampfwaggen III 'a with the 3.7 cm gun could and did kill T34's but at very close range the same goes with the latter Mark's armed with the 5cm gun, and Stug III's and Panzerkampfwaggen IV 's armed with the L48 7.5 cm gun could kill them at normal and long range shot engagements. Now the KVI that was a different beast, in my opinion the first modern type tank on th e battle field, practical size road wheels, the drive sprocket to the rear, with return rollers and excellent armor.

Hitler's approach was never to "just kill everyone." You realize that there were entire Slavic nations, such as Slovakia, that were not only in the Axis, but given independence and total autonomy by Germany? This is all nonsense. Actually, Rosenberg was one of the more unreasonable ones.

Unrelated plans by various individuals with no ability to implement such plans does not indicate the aim of a government to commit genocide. By this logic, if the Germans won the war, they could have accused the Americans of planning on destroying all German people due to the Morgenthau Plan.

Brilliant! Sarah's analysis is supported by "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" by Ruth Benedict, which is a fascinating anthropological study of pre-war Japanese culture. The Office of War Information commissioned Ruth's ethnography to formulate strategies for the eventual occupation of Japan, which is one of the great success stories of post-war relations.

Maybe it was the Soviet leadership that did that to their own men. It was Stalin that sent millions to become casualties at the battle of stalingrad. Along with the order for "not one step back"

They allowed them to join but at the same time killed millions of Ukrainians, so I guess the choice was to fight for us or be killed (I know it wasn't like that). At least if the Russians kept fighting for their own lands, then they at least they'd be at the mercy of their own people when it was all over. There also needs to be a distinction made be Russians fighting for Russia and Ukrainians fighting for what? Their country was already occupied at this point, so maybe they thought they might be liberated?

Your pushback is correct. She is a historical revisionist who is parroting dumb neoliberal talking points. The Germans were trying to collapse the USSR, which was seen as the largest threat to Europe and an asset of Britain and the USA, which was already on its way towards direct war with Germany. The Germans had no interest in destroying the Russian nation, but probably would have also liked to create several buffer states between them and Russia, such as Poland and Ukraine.

@@againsttheleftandright4065 I doubt Trump could find Moscow on a map unless someone drew an arrow with a Sharpie. If you google “Trump ignorance history geography” you learn just how ignorant he is of high school geography and history. According to sources like Rex Tillerson, John Bolton, Ambassador Sonderland, he made the following gaffes: He claimed that that his US-Mexico border wall (that Mexico would pay for) would run along the Colorado-Mexico border. Doesn’t know that Finland isn’t part of Russia Called Belgium a city. Calls Nepal “Nipple”, Bhutan “Button” Told Modi that India doesn’t share a border with China: their border is 2000 miles long. There have been border tensions there all his life. Wasn’t sure what the significance of Pearl Harbour was, had to ask Tillerson during a tour of PH. Did not know that Kiev was part of Ukraine. I can go on. And on. Interestingly, he may well be rather dyslexic. Because of the threat that Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law in your country, people around the world-like me-pay attention to the minutiae of your politics. We are effectively parts of the American empire, mostly willing to be so, and your wealth depends on our cheap goods and services. The American Empire is why the average American is 20-25% richer than his European counterpart. I know most Americans care nothing about foreign policy. But if you allow Trump to win, China will rejoice. Russia will take Ukraine, China will take Taiwan, and the American working- and middle-class tax payers will find themselves further impoverished, and the super-wealthy will enjoy new tax breaks. It is rare in history that the “stars aligned” to give one man such influence over the fate of his country, but it does happen. It is yet more rare that such a one is also an ignorant buffoon.

The Soviets faced annihilation and that is the reason they won? Stalin transformed the Soviet Union in the 30s. He imported industrial plant and the idea of production lines from America. Huge numbers of people were educated and moved into urban life. Large numbers of engineers were able to design tanks and aircraft and other weapons. Stalin was a more talented autocrat than the Tsar. Despite horrific losses he kept the Soviet Union going. This of course was not transferable into a economic system which was able to grow and innovate as in the West. But there is no question the Soviet victory occurred because of the restructure of Soviet society prior to the war

The Ukrainians definitely did not rethink that whole thing, not as a collective. Many went on to serve with Germany until the end. The 14th SS division was a notorious division of Ukrainian soldiers. Stepan Bandera had tens of thousands of followers who committed genocides. Both of those ideological organizations are NATIONAL HEROES in Ukraine. If you actually watch what has happened in places like Donetsk, you'll learn pretty fast that Ukrainians had been bombing these apartments with NATO supplied weapons since around 2016. Donetsk had been on the receiving end of Ukrainian shelling for nearly a decade. The reason? They are ethnically Russian and oppose the ultra nationalists in the west of the country.

I would like to delve further into her perception of Hitler's potential continuation of ethnic cleansing in Europe if he had remained in power. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring the concept that only those who fit the Aryan ideal would be spared, considering that the majority of those in power at that time did not fit this description. Additionally, there was the notion of an 'ancestral passport' that determined one's worthiness of rights or life. It is suggested that disgust rather than hate was the primary motivator behind Hitlers actions.
