Pretty funny how an infantry square in the middle of the desert is better at holding an assault from numerically superior forces than fucking casemates with MGs
Roughly the same number as OP pic, but different result
>>3318210

the difference of course is that the casemates were assaulted by gung ho americans, and the infantry square in the middle of the desert was slaughtering t*rks

This is the battle that for me proves the superiority of the Wehrmacht as a fighting force. I'm not a wehraboo, I think the Germans got what they deserved by declaring a war on the entire fucking planet with 0 industrial base to back it up.
Look at this shit, the Soviets had a higher number of casualties than the number of troops they started with! The Germans just wouldn't let go
>>3321061
why hasn't anyone just wiped Italy off the map yet? the Wehrmacht would've been better off turning their guns against those animals and deal with (((them))) later.
>>3318486
what? did they chased them down a cliff?
>>3318210
Perhaps the greatest humiliation that the British Empire suffered during WW1, other than the Somme.
>>3325160
I think the Germans problem is that they took the wrong lesson from Frederick the Great. He was a great commander, and had well-drilled troops, but he somehow got himself facing France, Russia, Austria, and Sweden simultaneously. But in the end he survived the Seven Years War through a stroke of incredible luck when the Russian Empress died, and the successor was a Prussiaboo. The lesson learned from that should have been "value diplomacy, and don't get yourself in that situation to begin with", not "we can take on the world".
>>3325191
Wouldn't a REAL prussiabo have wanted to absorb Prussia into the Russian empire?
>>3325213
If you truly love something, the best act is to let them be free.
>>3325248
All I want is a timeline where I can be a Russo-boo and Germa-boo at the same time. Why do my two historical favorite empires have to constantly wreck each other? It's not fair.

That Prussiaboo kaiser didn't have the political support at home to do anything that drastic, only to end the war.
He was considered a weak-willed ruler, and got his throne usurped by his wife, who would crown herself Empress Eкaтepинa II.

Got too used to field battles and not enough with assaulting fortifications.
I mean ffs, the facines and ladders for getting over the ramparts were at the BACK of the attack columns and the entire attack plan relied on fog staying around long enough to cover the advance, like they thought luck would always play out in their favour.

>>3328221
This war was hilarous
>>3328238
half of the war was just americans and commonwealth troops leapfrogging from hill to hill while the chinese threw masses of infantry at them and failed miserably
this is why I'm not afraid of the chinese, and considering their lack of technological progression across their army, I'd doubt their strategies have progressed much either

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Imjin_River
1 thousand British losses
vs
10-15'000 Chinese losses
>attack fortified positions frontally and across rough terrain (and a river)
>British just call in Australian artillery and cut your attacks to shreds
>British start running out of ammunition and begin to be overrun
>overrun the British
>your army is crippled with most officers dead or wounded
>your army of 27'000 was crippled attacking a brigade on a hill (Brit Brigades are 1000-3000 men, this case it was around 1500)
"Based on estimates, Chinese casualties in the Battle of the Imjin River can be put at around 10,000.[63] As a result of the casualties suffered during the battle, the Chinese 63rd Army, which had begun the offensive with three divisions and approximately 27,000 men, had lost over a third of its strength and was pulled out of the front line"

Dude, I am usually pro 3rd Reich when it comes to battles but this is bs.
They had heavy fortifications and the US had to storm a frigging beach by landing there with their ships while heavy mashinegun fire tore them apart.
It was a meat grinder.

They had a military genius you fucking autist. His name was Khalid ibn Walid.

Arabs were weak, too. They had their own years of wars before they went north. Constantinople alone probably had nearly the same number of people inhabiting the entire fucking Arab peninsula.
>>3331397

Had a hearty kek. I don't give a shit about sandniggers, I just like to spread my asscheeks and drop hot turds on the heads of revisionists who don't back-up their shit/biased "historians" (Historian being too good a description for a pseudo-intellectual like yourself)
>>3331403
Military geniuses help but they never win wars by themselves, anyone with a brain knows this. The byzantines had suffered a long period of decline and were not expecting the arabs to come out of nowhere and put up that much of a fight.
>>3331403
>he talks about biased historians while being biased himself about the numbers as his only actual source of the Byzantine numbers was born A CENTURY after the battle itself
>he conviently ignores that the wars in the Arab peninsula were nothing compared to the constant thirty year war by the Romans and Persians which also left the Middle east in ruins and brought both empires to the verge of bankruptcy and plague
No anon, you are the revisionist.
>>3331431
>>he talks about biased historians while being biased himself about the numbers as his only actual source of the Byzantine numbers was born A CENTURY after the battle itself
Not him, but that doesn't matter. Literally everything we know about Alexander the Great, is 200 years after his death. Having Byzantine sources written 100 years later actually supports his argument more than it does for yours.
>>3331427
>put up that much of a fight
Yes, exactly. Under normal conditions the Arabs would've been quickly footstomped by Byzantine might. But who would've known the Arabs were led by a genius who mopped the floor with large armies using deception, effective flanking, mobile tactics, shock-and-awe, against an army that has traditionally ran straight at its enemies no tactics involved?
>military genius helps but never wins war
This is an undescribably childish, pathetic, and retarded statement. Leave this fucking board immediately.

If the Arabs had won any of the Constantinople sieges you'd be gloating how great they are.
Seriously though why is it whenether people talk about how based the Arabs they only refer to Khalid and nothing else? At least with the Byzantines you have Justinian, Heraclius, Basil II, the Komnenian dynasty, etc which people like about but with the Arabs you have Khalid and nothing else. Not saying that Khalid wasn't an impressive general but he's the only noteworthy Arab warlord besides Mohammed.

>Rawwadid or Ravvadid (also Revend or Revendi) or Banū rawwād (955–1071), was a principality ruling Iranian Azerbaijan from the 10th to the early 11th centuries, centered on Tabriz and Maragheh.[1] Rawadids were originally from Arab ancestry, and arrived in the region in the mid eighth century,[2]
Also his language was Arabic
>>3335377
>but they had become Kurdicized by the early 10th century and began to use Kurdish forms like Mamlan for Muhammad and Ahmadil for Ahmad as their names[3][4][5] The Rawandid tribe moved into Kurdistan in the mid eighth century, and it was known as a Kurdish tribe by the tenth century.[6]
Why did you forget that?
>>3335382
Because they were of Arab origin and Saladin himself was arabised, so the fact that they were in the beginning Arab, in the end Arab, but in the middle kurdified, doesn't make Saladin not an Arab but a Kurd
>>3335387
Just because the dynasty was Arab at first but then intermingled with Kurds and the descendants were then raised to become Kurds doesn't make them Arab either. By that point Saladin might've been only 4/32 Arab
