The Red Army: After the Finnish-Soviet-War seen as subpar, which seemed to be confirmed after initial success in 1941 but after the battle of Moscow the Red-Army gained first respect for its tenacity and after Stalingrad and Kursk also for its ability.
Sweden was impartial in WW2 but Finland fought together with the Germans against the Soviets.
I am a Dutchman and my parents allways told me it was the Canadian Army who liberated the Netherlands in WW2.
'Blue Thunder' (1983). 'Apocalypse Now' (1979). 'Black Hawk Down' (2001). There is an anachronistic helicopter shown being used by the Germans in the WW2 movie 'Where Eagles Dare' (1968)
Barbarossa was the German invasion of the Soviet Union. In and of itself it was not necessarily a turning point. It committed Germany and most of its military resources to war with the Soviet Union. After initial successes, the Germans began to suffer major defeats. It was defeats such as the Battle of Stalingrad that were the real turning points on the Eastern Front and led to Germany's ultimate defeat in that theater of the war.
When Germany had a pact with Italy, France was their enemy; with the aide of the Germans France was taken over. Things were later resolved after the pact was broken leaving Germany to later stand alone.
they were conscripted
I think that it depends on who you talk to. Some Germans regret losing WW2 and some might think that it was terrible. I think in the whole, most Germans regret WW2 because most Germans during WW2 didn't like Hitler's decisions.
No, if so there would be no non-military German civilians in ww2, and the Germans would pretty much be extinct.
WW2
Yes they did.
Most Germans that were not NAZI's got out of Germany while they were able to before WW2.
No, WW2.
Denmark was occupied by the Germans in WW2. This was a very benevolent occupation as King Christian X basically surrendered.
WW2
In WW2 there were the Red army that were involed in the war and there were also the zeks ( Prisoners, people from the gulags...etc) that were also sent at the front to waste enemy ammunition and to blow up mine fields. Hope this is useful :)
They did, in ww2.
During ww1 the eastern front was at the Russian front until they withdrew and embroiled themselves in a civil war. During ww2 the eastern front was again the Russian front.As like Napolean found out when France invaded Russia,the eastern front in winter can spell dome for your army,his army was decimated on their campaign into Russia.The Germans in ww2 also found out how unpleasent Russia can be,one of the turning points in ww2 was Germany's failure at the eastern front.
