WATCH TILL THE END SO YOU DON'T FAIL TO UNDERSTAND :)
World War 2 resulted in the deaths of
around 55 million people throughout the world.
This war was the largest and most destructive conflict in history.
The First World War ended with a ceasefire
and the creation of the Versailles agreement.
The Treaty of Versailles was a heavy blow to the German people
and triggered the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933.
Over the next few decades,
Hitler's career rose to become chancellor.
And when President Paul Von Hindenburg died,
he appointed himself Fuhrer
or supreme commander of the Nazi paramilitary forces.
When he came to power,
Hitler criticized the Treaty of Versailles, calling it unfair.
At the end of the First World War,
both parties agreed to end the first world war
with a ceasefire.
This means that the war ended without any country
losing or surrendering.
However, the Versailles Agreement seemed to have dealt a serious blow
to the German people.
The contents of the agreement were that
Germany had to pay war reparations worth 20 billion Goldmarks.
At that time, it was equivalent to the price of 7,000 tons of gold.
"Germany's defeat left Hitler discouraged and in need of a new focus,"
the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying.
Hitler and other German leaders believed
that Germany lost World War I
because it had to fight on two fronts.
To prevent this,
Hitler and Joseph Stalin (Soviet) signed
a 10-year non-aggression agreement on August 23.
On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland.
That's when World War II began.
The strategy begins with destroying enemy air control,
railways, communication lines and dropping ammunition.
About 1.5 million German troops were deployed
to invade Poland.
Germany exhibited a modern combat strategy
known as Blitzkrieg.
This strategy did not involve static defenses
or fortifications like in the first world war.
However, the best defense in this strategy
is a combination of troops that are constantly moving
when carrying out an attack.
This attack requires war machines that are constantly moving,
fighter planes that control the air,
and large infantry troops that are constantly maneuvering.
This kind of attack will take the enemy by surprise,
making it difficult to coordinate so they can easily be cornered.
This is what made the German troops
successful in crushing Poland.
In just 2 days, Poland was completely destroyed
, killing around 6 million Polish citizens and military.
Two days after Germany's attack on Poland,
Britain and France declared war on Hitler.
Then England gave Germany an ultimatum
to withdraw its troops from Poland.
Germany greeted this ultimatum by sinking
British ships in European waters.
After attacking Poland,
Germany launched attacks on Denmark and Norway
and succeeded in occupying both countries.
Then they attacked the Netherlands.
In comparison,
the Dutch who colonized this country for 350 years
were like a monster for this country.
Nazi Germany only needed 5 days
to force the Dutch kingdom to bend its knees and
surrender to Hitler's ferocity.
Germany succeeded in taking control of the Netherlands in May 1940,
so Queen Wilhelmina fled to England.
And continuing to advance into Belgium,
the combined British, French and Belgian troops
were unable to hold back the German Blitzkrieg all the way to Dunkirk.
However, a miraculous event occurred.
When the combined Allied forces were pressed,
Hitler ordered the troops commanded by
Henz Guderian not to advance to Dunkirk.
And finally the Allied troops were successfully evacuated to British soil.
Historians call this Hitler's first blunder
which made the Allies prepare a counterattack.
Belgium fell on 11 May 1940.
Italy declared war against the Allies
and continued to invade France on 10 June 1940.
Germany attacked France and succeeded in occupying France
in June 1940,
causing the French army
under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle to flee to England.
Germany continued its attack on the Western front
by attacking England.
However, this effort failed because England
had an army that was still better
than mainland European countries.
And at that time England was still King of the Seas,
with a very large Royal British Navy Fleet.
Germany also did not make England its main target,
and actually wanted to make peace with England after the Dunkirk incident.
However, Hitler's peace speech was rejected by the British people
and the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, was also not interested.
This was covered by a British BBC news broadcast.
On 25 August 1940,
the British Royal Air Force attacked
the German capital Berlin, with thousands of bombers.
And for the first time,
it made the German population feel this war.
So the Lutwaffe carried out a counterattack.
On September 7 1940,
German planes flew into the skies of London
and dropped tons of bombs from the air.
The night attack caused
extraordinary panic in London.
This caused casualties
and great damage in London.
The capital of the kingdom burned fiercely,
London became a sea of fire.
For days at midnight during early September,
the Lutwaffe dropped bombs from over the city of London.
Londoners were forced to evacuate,
others were forced to hide
in the basements of their houses.
Some of the city's residents died lying under
the rubble.
An event that made the new British PM nervous.
The British PM, Winston Churchill, immediately contacted the President of the United States,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he asked the United States to immediately intervene
and immediately get involved in the European war.
England also received assistance from the United States.
This caused Germany, Italy and Japan
to sign a military defense pact
on September 27 1940.
The pact contained an agreement to help each other
if one of the three countries was attacked by another country.
Apart from that, there was also war on the Eastern front
which was centered on the area separating
Germany and the Soviet Union.
Hitler and Stalin initially made an agreement not to attack each other,
but Hitler ignored it.
Germany attacked to the East
to control the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941.
Meanwhile in the Asia Pacific,
Japan bombarded the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.
The attack forced America
into World War II. .
Germany's move to invade the Soviet Union was
Hitler's personal ambition which was outlined
in his book Main Camp in 1925.
Hitler said clearly
that the German people needed land and needed space to live
and this could be achieved by controlling the lands of the Soviet Union
which had large amounts of land. very extensive
and rich in natural resources including petroleum.
This not only supported the German people,
but could also move the German war machine
and its army.
Even though Hitler's efforts to invade the eastern front
had received a lot of resistance from his generals
, especially in the army.
Because at the same time,
Germany was still facing war on the western front.
With the distance being too far
and the timing not being right
for attacking the eastern front.
However, because of Adolf Hitler's stubbornness,
this operation was also carried out.
Hitler deployed a force of 150 divisions,
139 of which were Panzer divisions,
the number of troops deployed reached 3 million people
and was supported by 3,350 tanks,
7,184 Artillery,
2,770 Aircraft Units
and 600 thousand vehicles.
This deployment of force made the Barbarosa operation
the largest military operation in history.
Starting from the delay in the operation time from the specified schedule
and the breakdown of the concentration of the war to
the diversion of the center which was ready to seize the city of Moscow.
Moving south is a problem in itself.
Hitler divided his ground forces into 3 attack lines.
The first group to the north,
led by General Wilhelm Von Leeb, headed for Leningrad.
Group 2 took the central route towards the Smolenks and Moscow,
led by General Fedor Von Bock.
And a third group to the south of Kiev Ukraine,
led by Gerd Von Rundstedt.
The Soviet Union, which at that time was led by Joseph Stalin,
was actually in a condition that was not
ready to accept attacks.
At that time several Soviet cities were easily
captured by the Germans.
On the eastern front,
during the summer of 1942,
Germany and the Axis again attacked the Soviet Union.
With the aim of capturing Stalingrad on the Volga River,
as well as the city of Baku and the oil fields of the Caucasus.
German attacks stalled on both fronts
in late summer 1942.
In November,
Soviet troops launched a counteroffensive at Stalingrad.
And on February 2, 1943,
the German Sixth Army surrendered to the Soviet army.
German troops launched one more attack on Kursk
in July 1943.
Which was the largest tank battle in history.
But Soviet troops countered the attack,
and maintained military dominance
that was maintained throughout the war.
Hitler's blunders also caused
the dominance of the German army to decline sharply.
The Red Army finally turned around to control the field
and had the upper hand.
The arrival of a severe winter also benefited
the Soviet Union's troops who had better control of the terrain.
Germany, which also relied on a blitzkrieg strategy,
did not apply in the vast Soviet world.
Hitler's dream of dominating the Soviets had to be buried
deep along with the freezing of
their steel troops
and the Fuhrer's proud fighting equipment.
Germany had to leave Russia since it was pushed back
from Stalingard on November 19 1942.
Russian troops invaded Poland and the Balkan areas
controlled by Germany.
Soviet troops succeeded in recapturing
the territories of Romania, Bulgaria (18 September 1944),
Yugoslavia (12 October 1944),
and Hungary (13 February 1945).
Italy finally became the Allied target
with the sending of troops under the leadership of General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
These troops entered via Sicily and Naples.
In July 1943,
Allied troops landed in Sicily
and in September docked on the coast of mainland Italy.
After the Grand Council of the Italian Fascist Party
relinquished the post of prime minister of Italy.
Namely Benito Mussolini (Hitler's ally),
the Italian military took over and negotiated
to surrender to American forces
on September 8.
German troops stationed in Italy
seized control of the
northern half of the peninsula, and continued resistance.
Mussolini, who had been captured by the Italian military,
was rescued by German SS commandos in September
and established a neo-Fascist puppet regime
(under German supervision) in Northern Italy.
German troops continued to control northern Italy
until they surrendered on May 2, 1945.
Eisehower's troops and Montgomery's troops
invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944.
This attack was unable to be overcome
by Generals Rommel and Rundstedt.
France was successfully wrested from German control
at the end of August 1944.
On September 11, 1944,
the first American troops crossed into Germany,
a month after Soviet troops crossed the eastern border.
In mid-December,
Germany launched a counteroffensive
in Belgium and northern France
known as the Battle of the Bulge.
But failing,
the Allied air force attacked Nazi industrial factories,
such as the factory at the Auschwitz camp
(however, the gas chambers were never targeted).
The Allies invaded Germany towards Berlin,
Soviet troops began their offensive on January 12 1945.
And liberated western Poland,
forcing Hungary (an Axis ally) to surrender.
In mid-February 1945,
the Allies bombed the German city of Dresden.
American troops crossed the Rhine River
on March 7, 1945.
The final Soviet offensive on April 16, 1945,
allowed Soviet troops
to encircle the German capital, Berlin.
Goring was captured,
while Hitler and Gobbels committed suicide.
Admiral Domitz surrendered unconditionally on May 8 1945.
Germany was declared unconditional surrender.
Germany was finally willing to sign a peace agreement
at Potsdam on August 2 1945.
The Allies continued their actions with the success of
United States troops defeating Kaigun Japan.
General Mac Arthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz
succeeded in occupying the Philippines (1944)
and Iwojima and Okinawa (1945).
The United States finally dropped atomic bombs
on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Japan was conquered and surrendered unconditionally
to the Allies on August 14 1945.
Japan was willing to sign an agreement
on the battleship USS Missouri
in Tokyo Bay on September 2 1945.
The end of World War II was marked by the surrender of
Italy, Germany and Japan to the Allies.
After that, both parties entered into peace agreements.
