ye also could be alot of refugees initally fleeing to berlin as well

Maybe it's more how recent it was

then fleeing again

when i read it, i thought it meant 40% of teh countries population

was gonna say, that doesnt sound right at all

I mean

Moscow

Stalingrad

Kharkov

Kursk

Kiev

Also I listen to Sabaton maybe that also changes my perception of the world wars...

Bagration

Vistula Offensive

Seelow Heights

And then Berlin

Pretty bloody journey

Sabayon is too nerdy honestly

I feel weird saying I enjoy it almost guilty pleasure considering it's eh

1/3 of all soviet soldiers died

kek

It's all metal but it's all niche topics

Emphasis on lyrics

Paton could have taken Berlin if he was allowed and stopped the death and rape of german civilians

overrated =/= the worst

the fanatical defence of the germans was because they knew what the soviets would do

patton was assassinagted by communists

and also jews

^

russia/soviets certainly won battles and they certainly won wars

The Americans didn't want to waste manpower on a city that would be in the Soviet Zone of occupation anyways

but at a price unfathomable for most people

Stalin...however

He wanted Berlin

Patton senpai could have gone onto moscow!

Okay I think I'm starting to see that ww2 discussion being boring thing now

thats because shitty troops

shitty gear

shitty generals

lol
