Redemption of WWII

When Hitler was unable to solve the supply problem of the Sixth Army whose retreat had been cut off, he had already begun to withdraw his troops from Stalingrad in his heart. 【】

But Hitler was still unwilling.Hitler spent too much effort in this battle, which was won by the German army at the beginning, then became a stalemate, and now the defeat is revealed.It has been seven months since the spring of [-], and the morning numbers reported by the various units each month add up to more than [-].

Hitler knew very well that Germany could not afford to delay, and the millions of troops that Germany had carefully prepared before had basically shed blood on the Russian front at this time.It is becoming more and more difficult to recruit pure German soldiers in China, and now the age of joining the army has been lowered to 16 years old.Hitler also knew that those child soldiers who had not undergone long-term training and went to the front line were basically unlikely to come back, but Hitler had no means.

Russia is really too big. Originally, Hitler dreamed of defeating the whole of Russia and occupying Moscow in three months.Because Hitler also knew the horror of Russian winter, he tried his best to avoid fighting in winter.But Stalin abruptly dragged Germany into winter at the cost of 300 million troops. 300 million, Hitler was thinking after his army killed and captured 300 million Russian troops, Russia would no longer have much viable force to stop him from taking Moscow.Yes, which country in the world can have an army of more than 300 million, and how much money it needs to support it.

But Hitler guessed wrong. Stalin, like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, conjured up troops with well-made weapons one after another out of nowhere.Brutely gave Hitler a head-on stick in Moscow, almost driving the current Germans out of Russian land just like the Russians drove out Napoleon back then.

Hitler was stunned, and for a moment Hitler couldn't figure out how many big cards his opponent had yet to play.Hitler in Moscow didn't dare to fight anymore, but Hitler didn't expect that a small Stalingrad would also let his armored cavalry fall into the sand.Hitler was about to retreat, but he was still reluctant to say this out of the face of his head of state.

At the critical moment of Hitler's battle between heaven and man, the Reich Generalissimo Goering, who has always failed to accomplish anything but revealed more than nothing, spoke.Goering has been in a very excited state since he was unexpectedly praised by Hitler for mobilizing combat aircraft for Rommel last time. It is indeed a good thing done with bad intentions.In Goering's war dictionary, there is only the air force, and only the German air force controlled by him.When the German Army was defeated in Stalingrad, Goering felt very comfortable, because Goering naively thought that his chance had come again.

So Goering put forward his own suggestion to Hitler. Goering said in a big way that all the supplies of the Sixth Army fighting in Stalingrad were completed by his own air force independently, and he wanted to be in the sky over Stalingrad. Create an empty corridor.

Hitler also had undying ambitions for Stalingrad. With Goering's assurance, he couldn't help but believe the nonsense of his friend and comrade who had worked hard with him for many years.So Hitler sent a telegram prohibiting any retreat of the Stalingrad army to various headquarters on the entire Eastern Front.

The commanders of the various units who were looking forward to the retreat order were hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day when they received this telegram.

With Hitler's hesitation, the war also developed towards the unfavorable side of the German army.Winter in Russia has also gradually revealed its power of love.On the one hand, the Sixth Army no longer has the strength to take down the small remaining city in Stalingrad. On the other hand, Goering's so-called relying on empty corridors to deliver supplies to the Sixth Army has become a dream.

The basic consumption of the Sixth Army is [-] to [-] tons per day, and the consumption of high-intensity military offensive operations is even more astonishing.And Goering's so-called empty corridor can only send about [-] tons of supplies to the Sixth Army.While the precious flying power of those air forces was also delivering supplies to the Sixth Group, they were severely damaged by the Russian Air Force equipped with new fighter jets.In less than a month, seven hundred combat aircraft were shot down by the Russian Air Force over Stalingrad.

The failure of the air force made Goering once again lose face in front of all the military generals.However, whether Goering lost face was a small matter, but the loss of the best opportunity for the German Sixth Army in Stalingrad to retreat was a major matter.The Russian team has already wrapped up the Sixth Army like rice dumplings, with three layers inside and three layers outside centering on the Stalingrad area.On the other hand, the 30 people of the German team barely fought against the Russian team in an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

At this time, Hitler also understood the taste, knowing that he was once again induced by Goering to make a wrong judgment.But this time Hitler did not blame Goering, because even if Goering is dead and apologizes now, it is only a matter of remorse.However, Hitler wrote a few words on Goering's name heavily in his heart, 'this man can't bear the heavy responsibility'.

The operation failed, and Goering felt very strange because the head of state did not punish himself.However, the hearty and fat Goering quickly put this matter behind him, and began to show his prestige as the Grand Marshal of the Empire, as if he was fighting hard in Stalingrad. The situation is completely forgotten.

Goering can be a hands-off shopkeeper, but Hitler can't.The battle has been fought since spring, and the German casualties have reached 70.If there were any mistakes in the troops in Stalingrad, then Hitler's Christmas in [-] would be in tears.

So Hitler formulated a plan to rescue the Sixth Army.It is said to be a rescue, but in fact it still wants to repel or annihilate the Russian team surrounded by Stalingrad.He entrusted this daunting task to Manstein, who was only promoted to field marshal in June this year.

In the cold winter, launching an offensive on a snowy day is a test for any country's army.Manstein took over the task with a heavy heart and began a very expensive rescue operation.

Starting from December [-]th, it took only three days for the German army to break through the Russian team's defense line with its superhuman combat quality and fearless sacrifice, and rushed all the way to an area only [-] kilometers away from the Sixth Army.However, due to the narrow attack surface of the attacking troops and the sudden drop in air temperature, Manstein was no longer able to move forward.Moreover, Manstein also found that his troops were in danger of being surrounded by several times the Russian team.

The dangerous battlefield situation could not help but make Manstein ignore Hitler's order, and immediately ordered Paulus's Sixth Army to immediately attack the southern line of defense with all its strength.But Paulus did not dare to give orders rashly, so Paulus sent a telegram for instructions to Hitler.

Hitler received the telegram two hours ago, but Hitler did not make his own decisions, but chose to hold a military meeting to study whether the Sixth Army should choose to break out.

Before Hitler could finish his opening remarks about the future of the Reich, he was interrupted by a loud noise outside.In fact, this can't be blamed for the poor sound insulation of Hitler's conference room, but it's entirely because Liu Qi's Mercedes-Benz drove too fast and hit too hard.

The reason why Hitler kept walking around the conference table was also because he couldn't figure out whether to let the Sixth Army break through or let the Sixth Army defend it.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened, and Martin Bowman walked into the conference room with barely audible steps.Martin Bormann walked directly to Hitler and said softly, "Führer, I have found out the matter."

Hitler was thinking about something at this time, and he couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Martin Bormann's words, and then asked, "What have you found out?"

Martin Borman was also taken aback by Hitler's words, and thought to himself, "It's not that you asked me to check what happened to the voices outside just now. You've already forgotten about your feelings this time. If you know this, I might as well not talk about it." One thing, to save unnecessary trouble.” But after thinking about it, I can’t say that.Martin Bowman hurriedly said, "Führer, I have already investigated the cause of the loud noise just now."

At this time, Hitler knew what Martin Bormann was talking about, so Hitler asked, "Oh... tell me what is the reason, is it the destruction of the capital of our empire planned by the Bolsheviks. I know the evil The Bolsheviks will not give peace to my capital. They are Slavs with extreme ideology and behavior... Stalin..."

Hitler directly put the blame on the Russians and cursed Stalin.In his mouth, Stalin has become an evil and dangerous devil that is extremely threatening to human beings, while in Hitler himself, he has become a righteous warrior who defends peace and truth and sacrifices his life for freedom.It seems that Germany was forced to resort to the means of war in self-defense.All kinds of gorgeous words that Hitler could think of spewed out, and the entire circular conference room was filled with the echo of Hitler's magnetic and sharp voice.

In normal times, maybe Martin Bowman would have dealt with today's party directly as a Bolshevik.Such words can not only satisfy Hitler's hatred and revenge towards the Bolsheviks, but also avoid a very troublesome matter. Maybe even the head of state will praise himself for his ability to do things after knowing the truth.But today is not possible, let alone the two Japanese, even if the heir of the Habsburg family loses one hair, he will probably be severely retaliated against, and he will also bear the reputation of being ungrateful.

Gritting his teeth, Martin Bormann interrupted Hitler's chattering nonsense, squeezed a smile on his big fat face and said, "Führer, this is not the case. There was just a car accident outside."
