Russians fought better than Germans

It is often said who won is the one who fights better. But this is not the case. The question is what is the ratio of losses. The price of victory. Victory is important not in quantity, but in quality.

It is believed that the Germans fought better than the Russians (or the Soviets - it doesn't matter), and the Russians defeated them only by number, not skill. How do you know that the Germans fought better? And from there, that the Germans quickly defeated the professional Red Army in June 41st.

But what follows from this? And from this it follows that the Germans were driven back into the hole from which they crawled out, not by professional soldiers, but by ordinary Russian civilians who had no military experience, who completed short military courses or did not have them at all.… And they drove into the hole confidently and irrevocably. Almost all Soviet offensive operations were very successful. And these operations were not attended by professional military, but inexperienced hastily trained. And they defeated the best professional experienced German army in the world.

That is, in fact, the question is not that the Germans fought better than the Russians, but that inexperienced Russian recruits fought better than experienced professional Russian soldiers. And, of course, Russian inexperienced soldiers fought better than the Germans, since the Russians won in Berlin, and not the Germans in Moscow.

So, was the professional Soviet army weaker than the peaceful Soviet citizens who took up arms for the first time? How so?

No not like this. The professional Soviet army in June 1941 was not defeated in normal battles. They took it by cunning and foolishness not at the military level, but at the political one. Cunning, because they did everything to prevent the Russians from expecting an attack not only on that fateful day, but, in general, in the foreseeable future. Why would a friendly small country Germany suddenly attack the Soviet giant at night? Germany is also a socialist country, where ordinary workers live quite well. In the German press they tried not to write anything militant against the Russians and Stalin, but, on the contrary, to praise the Germans specially concluded with the Russians on the eve of the attack a bunch of trade agreements, visits of various delegations are planned - entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes, cultural figures, etc. Nothing foreshadowed a war with the largest Soviet trading partner in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Red Army lived in peacetime. And Hitler stabbed the sleeping giant with an ax. According to the sleeper. Any midget can gouge out the eye of a SLEEPING giant. This does not mean that the midget is stronger.

Again. Very important.

Comrade Stalin and the entire Soviet people created the largest army in the world, the best army in the world at that time, supplied it with the best weapons in the world so that no fool would try to attack the Soviet Motherland. But, the fool attacked. This army was defeated by the bad Germans in a few days, or to be more precise, in a few hours. The Red Army is no longer there. There is no it. And then it is necessary to fight. And inexperienced peaceful Soviet people went to fight. Primarily. With a few exceptions. And they defeated the most experienced professional German army in the world. So, as soldiers, the Russians are better than the Germans. The Russians are worse in terms of cunning and meanness - they cannot, as coolly as the Germans, pretend to be a peaceful friend and at the same time strike with a club on the head of a peacefully sleeping comrade.

Similarly, Japanese aircraft defeated the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. Not because the Japanese fight better, but because the world's most powerful fleet was in a state of peace. Not ready for an attack. The sailors scattered among the local women, drinking whiskey in bars, ammunition in warehouses, guns covered, command in hotels, etc. This does not mean that America is weaker than Japan or worse at war. Military prowess has nothing to do with it. There is only a trick here.

And, by the way, the Americans showed more naive stupidity than the Russians. After all, Pearl Harbor was after June 22! The smart one must learn from the mistakes of others.

Here is a very important contemporary story with a similar surprise attack with an ax that few people know:

In general, the Azerbaijani easily defeated the sleeping Armenian. Does it mean that he is stronger? Or that he is a brave hero? The same thing happened in the Soviet-German friendship on June 22, 1941.

And the big losses in the war fall just on the initial period of the war, which was not a war, but cutting off the head of a sleeping person, but are counted as general military losses. If we consider the defeat of the Americans in Pearl Harbor this way, then it turns out that the Americans fought 100 times worse, given the ratio of losses.

It should be borne in mind that for the USA the navy is the same as for the USSR the land army. Because there are no potential enemies of the United States on the American continent. Enemies are on the other side of the ocean, and therefore the main weapon of the United States is the navy. That is, the situation is completely similar to the Soviet one. But Stalin's critics "do not notice" this. Stalin is a bloody dictator who missed the attack, and Roosevelt is a brilliant peace-loving democratic sage.

But defeat in the initial period is not the subject of my article. I want to draw your attention to the fact that the professionally trained experienced army of the united Europe was defeated not by the professional military, but by the unprepared Soviet people cut off from peaceful life … People's Army.

They say: the Germans reached the "equator of war", to Moscow and to the Volga for several months, and back their weak Russian warriors drove as much as 3 years! But that's just the point. In order to drive the enemy without a professional army, it takes time to somehow prepare and educate people who are cut off from a peaceful life. I'm not even talking about the transfer of the military industry to the interior of the country. Time played on the Russians and the Russians took advantage of it.

But it was a war between motors and high technologies. A simple, peaceful Russian man learned in the shortest possible time to control planes, boats, tanks, conventional and rocket artillery. At least some time was required for training.

And after the "equator" the war for the Russians became offensive, and for the Germans defensive, or rather retreat. What does it mean? According to military science, when breaking through the defense, the attacking side suffers much greater losses. The defender will sit behind concrete fortifications, dig deep into the ground and go and dig it out of there. And, nevertheless, the Russian offensive was rapidly improving as combat experience was accumulated, to the surprise of military specialists around the world. For three years it is not possible to advance on well-fortified German iron-concrete-armored positions without greater losses than those of the defenders.

When the Germans were the attacking side at the very beginning of the war, they suffered very small losses, not because they fought better, but because they attacked an unprepared sleeping enemy. Soviet soldiers are sleeping peacefully in the barracks, and a bomb falls on them in the middle of the night. This is not the military prowess of the Germans, but military cunning.

The main thing that I want to repeat is that after the defeat of June 1941, the Germans were actually fought by militias, and not by professional soldiers. A simple Russian man from a plow or a drawing board defeated the professional and experienced army of the united Europe.

And if we count the losses of both sides, then we must divide the millions of losses from the German cunning of the summer of 1941 and the combat losses of a later period

As for the stupidity of Stalin, who did not expect an attack, I fully understand him. By and large, an attack on the Soviet Union is deadly for Germany. The forces are not equal. Neither human nor material resources. And most importantly, the technical equipment of the Red Army was better. Especially in the main weapon of that era - tanks. The Russians had fantastic tanks from the future. And there were an incredible number of them.

Wikipedia:

It should be noted that, according to modern historians, the Wehrmacht had a clear qualitative superiority of technology [20]. So, all the tanks in service with Germany were lighter than 23 tons, while the Red Army had T-34 and T-28 medium tanks weighing over 25 tons, as well as heavy KV and T-35 tanks weighing over 45 tons.

In fact, Soviet tanks were the next generation from the German ones, that is, superiority, as between a jet fighter and a propeller.

Here is a photo of a German medium tank (left) T-3 next to a Soviet heavy KV-1. Elephant and pug:

This is a tank without guns at all and even without machine guns. They took with them a light machine gun and stones to throw at the Russians.

All large German tanks Tigers and Panthers appeared after 2-3 years of war, but they are most shown on TV. And at the beginning of the war, there was nothing of the kind.

In the photo on the left, a Soviet main medium tank T-34, captured by the Germans. The Russians had 1200 of them. The Germans had a total of 3,000 tanks. Of these, almost half had no guns at all, as in the right picture.

On the right is a purely German light comic supposedly T-I tank without a cannon, armed with only 2 machine guns. There were 180 such liars. I specially selected 2 pictures of tanks compared to the size of a person. Otherwise, it is not clear how big the tanks are if you do not compare them with each other. Soviet tanks were only several times larger in linear dimensions.

1 Soviet tank cannot defeat either 10 or 100 German T-I tanks because they do not have a cannon.

These photographs show, in addition to size and shape, the endless superiority of Soviet tanks over German ones. Sloped armor, streamlined shape, wide tracks. A huge cannon.

There are many examples when 1 Soviet tank in the initial period of the war knocked down several dozen German ones. The main losses of Soviet tanks were not in combat. Either the shells were not brought up, or the wrong ones, the diesel fuel ran out, the shells ran out, and all around the Germans and the unarmed tank they were already finishing off at point-blank range. But more often the crew left the car without shells and ran away.

This photo shows that this tank, fantastic for the Germans from the future, was fired at by several German tanks and could not penetrate the armor. I counted 27 hits. Like the Moon or Mars in meteorite craters. Maybe he has another 100 hits outside of the photograph.

Another. Again with fifty hits.

But the Russians had an even more fantastic supertank from the distant future KV-2:

It is a mobile fortress on tracks.

In short, the quality of the tanks the Russians outnumbered the Germans by at least 10 times. Although, to be honest, 100 times.

There is a Jewish anecdote. The Jewish youth wants to find a bride so beautiful that her dowry does not matter, but at the same time she must be so rich that her beauty does not matter. The Russians had so many tanks that their quality no longer mattered. And the tanks themselves were so superior to the German ones that their number did not matter.

I do not want to delve into the topic of tanks now, this is not the topic of this article. I wrote my thoughts about tanks here

On the other hand, the information about the quality and quantity of these tanks was so incredible that Hitler perceived it as primitive disinformation and did not believe it. This is the same as now being told to Obama that Putin is armed with a million invisible flying saucers with laser cannons.

A reasonable person, Comrade Stalin, could not take into account only one thing - Hitler's idiocy. The same idiocy was committed by the Japanese emperor. Took and bit America by the tail. Well, he unexpectedly defeated the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. So, what is next? But, after all, the United States is 100 times larger than Japan in all respects. Isn't it clear that in response they will create 10 more new fleets and crush Japan like a mosquito? It’s like Bruce Lee’s ear kick when he’s asleep.

In the initial period of the war, the Germans were able to use the Soviet tank superiority to their advantage. Thanks to a surprise attack, a large number of fantastic Soviet armored vehicles were adopted by the Germans:

(I used the word "Russians", although I mean "Soviet" of different nationalities, because it is so familiar and easy to speak).

Only the Blue Army of Banderoucropia can compare with the might of the Red Army.
