Germans and Soviets had different criteria for what counted as a "loss"

Germany typically only counted Total Losses, where tanks/vehicles were beyond repair.

Soviets had a much wider criteria for counting a loss, including damages that were eventually repaired or disabled tanks/vehicles.

I don't know that much about the Soviet order of battle, but Stalin's military purges after the clusterfuck in finland along with the serious economical issues they had been going with for years lead to a number of problems and clusterfucks, along with general unpreparedness for the Nazi assault. They lacked good command (or any command in some areas where the nazi lines went past/encircled troops), logistics, and lots of other things during the initial german advance.
As the german advance slowed down from their own logistical problems and the sheer size of the area they were trying to invade, they were able to regroup, rearm, put the chain of command into a more working position, call for reinforcements from siberia, and take advantage of having actual winter equipment to halt the nazi advance.
After the initial plunge to Moscow stopped and aid from the other allies, largely the USA helping with shortages in mechanical parts, clothing, fuel, guns, ammunition etc they managed to put themselves into a better situation to do the long push towards berlin.

"Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force.... She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit"

I'd say good initiative in any case to keep shitpostig down. I believe part of it was a morale impact and then part of it to shoot siege towers etc. down.

what are these steel nets and how are they supposed to prevent a battleship from sinking? Never even heard of them. Please enlighten me.

He may be referring to Torpedo Nets.
I don't think they were made out of 'steal'.

OP confirmed for idiot. Why do idiots always start WW2 threads?

Both were against communism

iirc it was a defensive treaty only, technically Germany was only obligated to help Japan if it were attacked

>>2180304
Initially started out as an alliance against the Soviet Union, but the Japanese chimped out with Pearl Harbor.

Kinda surprised they had those inflatable floaty things back then.

They had rubber in WW1.
Heck the guy who'd managed to produce it artifically was German and awarded the nobel prize too.

>I now think Lee's the most overrated general in the history of the Western Hemisphere. Anyone else agree?


Hell no. While there is definitely a myth about Sherman, he's nowhere near as overrated as guys like Rommel.


And seriously? MUH KDR? In what is supposedly a scholarly work? That more makes me think the book is shit than anything else.

>>2180106

Lee. I have no idea what is with my typing today, it's not even the first malapropism in text I've done

>"Had Lee not squandered the Confederacy's limited resources on offensives during the three preceding years, the Confederacy's 1864 opportunity for victory might have been realized. It was Lee's strategies and tactics that dissipated irreplaceable manpower- even in his victories. His army lost at Malvern Hill, Antietam, and Gettysburg. His army took unnecessarily large losses in those defeats, as well as throughout the entire Seven Days Battles."

>"Throughout the Seven Days Battles, Lee's strategy and tactics were extremely aggressive. His strategy was totally offensive. Incredibly, Lee watched thousands of his best troops be slaughtered while charging usually fortified Union positions but did not seem to realize the foolhardiness of such tactics when he was at such a numerical disadvantage. Lee's Seven Days battle plans were overly complex; he frequently issued vague and discretionary orders to his generals, and then he failed to to supervise their execution through adequate on-the-field command and control."
