How ya'll doin? let's check out what bruns is saying. The Germans got within 12 miles of Moscow, too close for comfort if you ask me. Hitler was VERY close to taking over his three key cities of Moscow Stalingrad and Leningrad. The winter came and completely screwed the Germans. They were in summer clothes because it wasn't supposed to take this long and since the Russians are completely used to it they fought them off much more easily. 280 to 400 thousand German casualties, 650 to 1280 thousand Soviet casualties. Hitler believe Moscow aws the meajor military and political target in the USSR as it would elad to the collaspe of the country. Germany got within 12 miles and this battle made a huge turning point. Hitler was absolutely furious that his attack failed and he dismissed his commander in chief in December 1941, adn he took personal cvharge of the Wehrmacht. He made all military decisions. His older, experienced officers who advised him wisely were also dismissed because they told him he was wrong. Hitlah surrounded himself with green officers because they wouldn't question him. Bruns thinks that Hitlah did meth, fun fact. A siege is a surroundment of a tactical objective and shelling it to the point of obliteration, or a very slow, safe takeover of any tactical objective. Leningrad was under siege for 872 days and it was lifted January 27, 1944. Longest, most destructive siege in history and consumed the most lives. Their rationing made our rationing look like a king's feast. Their bread was mostly sawdust. Some people ate the past to hold on wallpaper, all rats pets pests et cetera were eaten and then cannibalism appeared in the first year. There were cannabalist gangs that would attack weak people and eat them. Leningrad police had a special unit to combat cannibalism. Ermin Rommel a.k.a. The Desert Fox was a completely studly German general. He fought in Africa. George Patton was OUR complete amazing stud. He was pretty tough on his troops, but widely respected. He died in a car crash in Germany shortly after world war II.
