War Data

The German-Soviet War Data: Investigating the Most Savage War in the History of Mankind. The German-Soviet Front was by far the most prominent in World War II, and unlike any other. This was not a conflict of states, but ideologies and civilizations. This was a total, merciless war. Virtually destroyed at first, the Red Army was rebuilt anew and eventually broke the back of the Wehrmacht. At least 80% of the German forces were destroyed on the Russian Front. The study of this struggle has long been biased during the Cold War. It was never fully documented, neither in the East nor in the West. Fifty years later, a rich and unbiased study of this major theatre of operations becomes possible at last. Every day more information is released from Russian archives. Historians can work on an unprecedented level and write the definitive story of this largely unknown war. This channel provides unique content based on Soviet and German archival data for the 1,418 days in this terrible conflict.
