Acaba de cumplirse el octogésimo aniversario de una de las mayores batallas de la segunda guerra mundial y, por extensión, de toda la historia de la humanidad, la de Stalingrado. Fue la más mortífera de toda la guerra y marcó el punto de inflexión en el teatro europeo de operaciones. Se extendió a lo largo de más de cinco meses entre agosto de 1942 y febrero de 1943 en la ciudad de Stalingrado, a las orillas del Volga, un lugar perdido en mitad de la estepa del sur Rusia a medio camino entre Moscú y la cordillera del Cáucaso. Stalingrado era un punto de gran importancia estratégica ya que se concentraba mucha industria allí y permitía controlar el Volga y el acceso al mar Caspio, donde se encontraban los principales yacimientos de petróleo soviéticos en aquella época. Quien controlase esa ciudad tendría acceso a esos pozos petrolíferos, pero también tenía un valor simbólico para el mando alemán, especialmente para Adolf Hitler. La ciudad, una antigua fortaleza construida por los zares en el siglo XVI, llevaba el nombre del dictador soviético convertido ya en la némesis del propio Hitler. Tomarla tenía, por lo tanto, valor por partida doble, daría a los alemanes el control de la principal vía fluvial de Rusia y sería una dolorosa humillación para Stalin. A principios de agosto de 1942 los alemanes enviaron al Sexto Ejército completo y a unidades del Cuarto Ejército contra la ciudad. Un millón de hombres asistidos por la Luftwaffe entre los que había, aparte de alemanes, unidades rumanas, italianas, húngaras y croatas. El asalto fue de tal magnitud que los soviéticos se replegaron al otro lado del río, pero no completamente, articularon la resistencia en una ciudad reducida a escombros y dieron comienzo los combates urbanos. Buena parte de la batalla se libró casa por casa en un endemoniado crescendo porque tanto soviéticos como alemanes se empeñaron en mantener las posiciones a cualquier coste. En noviembre el Ejército Rojo puso en marcha la denominada Operación Urano para reconquistar Stalingrado trasladando tropas desde la ribera izquierda del Volga. Emplearon todo lo que tenían a mano, más de un millón de hombres que rodearon al Sexto Ejército alemán dejándolo aislado dentro de la ciudad y con el invierno llamando a la puerta. Lo sensato hubiese sido replegarse a tiempo y evitar un fatal embolsamiento, pero, en lo que llegaban los refuerzos, Adolf Hitler cursó órdenes de resistir hasta el último hombre. El reabastecimiento del Sexto Ejército se haría por aire con cargueros de la fuerza aérea, pero los soviéticos lo impidieron condenando a las tropas alemanas a una agonía que duró más de dos meses, hasta principios de febrero de 1943 cuando, agotadas ya las municiones y los alimentos, los alemanes se rindieron empezando por el general Friedrich Paulus, a quien Hitler había ascendido a mariscal de campo para evitar que depusiese las armas. Pero Paulus no tenía ya con qué combatir y a sus hombres les estaba matando el frío, el hambre y las enfermedades. La derrota alemana en Stalingrado supuso el fin de los avances alemanes en el este y marcó el comienzo de la retirada general que concluiría dos años y medio después en el centro de Berlín. La importancia de esta batalla fue capital y pronto se transformó en un hecho de armas recordado no sólo en Rusia y Alemania, sino en el resto del mundo.

Graham eulogises about a brilliant but neglected Mexican-French film from 2020, New Order.Charles reports on the latest Told By An Idiot show, Charlie & Stan, alias Chaplin & Laurel, "the greatest double act that nearly was", at York Theatre Royal.  Graham sees red on the bias of Anthony Beevor's recent  book on the Russian Civil War, then celebrates the life of Barrie Corbett, the Harrogate man who played with The Beatles in 1963 at the Royal Hall.

Countries look so cohesive on the map - sturdy borders, familiar shapes. Don't be misled. They didn't always look like this. This is the story of Russia, biggest contiguous country on the planet, told from the time when it was still very small. "In my producer's history textbook it says here, on page 18, that Russia as a political entity did not exist." With contributions across the series from Janet Hartley, author of a history of the Volga; Rhodric Braithwaite, former ambassador to Moscow; historian and sociologist, Mischa Gabowitsch; Anthony Beevor; Natalia Antelava; Kateryna Khinkulova; Dominic Lieven; Olesya Khromeychuk; and James Hill of the New York Times.

Today, Al and James are joined by legendary historian Sir Anthony Beevor. They discuss his seminal book on the topic and his extraordinary experience in the Russian archives during the mid-1990s.A Goalhanger Films ProductionProduced by Joey McCarthyExec Producer: Tony PastorTwitter: #WeHaveWays @WeHaveWaysPodWebsite: wehavewayspod.comEmail: wehavewayspod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Den verdenskjente historieforfatteren Antony Beevor gir oss ny og unik innsikt i den russiske borgerkrigen: Hva kan de ødeleggende kampene si oss om Russland i dag? Etter sammenbruddet av tsarimperiet raste mellom 1917 og 1921 en ødeleggende kamp i Russland. Mange anser denne voldsomme borgerkrigen som en av de viktigste begivenhetene i moderne tid.En uforsonlig allianse av moderate sosialister og reaksjonære monarkister hadde liten sjanse mot Trotskijs røde hær og Lenins kommunistiske diktatur. Terror skapte mer terror, som igjen førte til enda flere og større grusomheter mellom folk, mann mot mann, mot kvinner og barn. Kampen ble på mange måter starten på en verdenskrig da Churchill satte inn tropper fra det britiske imperiet, med støtte fra væpnede styrker fra USA, Frankrike, Italia, Japan, Polen og Tsjekkoslovakia.Antony Beevor, forfatter av den anerkjente internasjonale bestselgeren Stalingrad, samler den nyeste forskningen for å skrive den mest komplette boken hittil. Det er en gripende fortelling som viser konflikten sett gjennom øynene til alle fra arbeideren i Petrograds gater til soldatene i de ulike hærstyrkene, offiserer på slagmarken og kvinnelegen på et krigssykehus.Hør Antony Beevor i samtale med tidligere NRK-journalist Ole Torp på Litteraturhuset Fredrikstad. Opptaket ble gjort 26. oktober 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the daily update I look at the latest decisions made by the Russian Security Council including the imposition of martial law in the four new regions of Russia, the potential for Ukrainian assaults in Kherson and the evacuation of the civilian population from there and the continued attempts by Ukraine to retake the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. I also consider the cliches indulged in by western intellectuals when it comes to the Russian Army, the wretched propaganda of Anthony Beevor and the desperate projection of NATO propagandists.

En Inglaterra en 1999 uno de los historiadores militares más destacados del mundo se embarca en el proyecto más importante de su carrera, Anthony Beevor se dispone a escribir la historia más fidedigna relata hasta ahora sobre la conquista del Berlín nazi por parte de los aliados durante la segunda guerra mundial. La caída de la capital alemana a manos del ejército rojo señaló el final de una era de matanza y destrucción sin precedentes, sin embargo la historia de la conquista de Berlín no ha contada con detalle hasta ahora. Apoyado en nuevos documentos sobre las ejecuciones y violaciones en masa llevadas a cabo por el ejercito y rojo y de por que Stalin sacrificó miles de soldados en la operación además de sus verdaderos deseos de Stalin por conquistar Berlín.

A lo largo de la noche del 19 de mayo, varios acontecimientos entre las fuerzas alemanas de transporte aéreo e inteligencia que apoyaban la Operación Merkur presagiaron las dificultades del próximo amanecer. Durante los preparativos para el asalto a Creta, los planificadores y los mandos de la misión sufrieron carencias de todo tipo. Entre estas carencias, la cantidad limitada de aviones de transporte aéreo fue la que más influyó en el asalto. La insuficiente flota de aviones de transporte dictó el plan de asalto de Student, su calendario y objetivos, y por tanto la forma del ataque en su conjunto. Gracias a Esaú Rodríguez Delgado conoceremos como fue la Invasión de Creta y la Operación Merkur pero sobre todo analizaremos los resultados y las lecciones aprendidas por ambos bandos sobre el empleo de las unidades aerotransportadas.

Las últimas horas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa están contadas. El Ejército Rojo trata con furia de someter la capital de Alemania a toda costa antes de la llegada del 1 de Mayo de 1945. La resistencia en las calles de Berlín es desesperada y el escenario no puede ser más desolador; la destrucción impera por cualquier lugar de la amplia ciudad.

‘Mission Improbable’ has been exquisitely researched.  In places, its level of detail reminded me of reading Anthony Beevor’s Stalingrad. The post #WavellReviews ‘Mission Improbable: The Transformation of the British Army Reserve’ by Patrick Bury appeared first on Wavell Room.

In this episode of Citizen Soldier, the preeminent scholar of WWI, Sir Hew Strachan, sits down with WWII historian Sir Antony Beevor to discuss the world’s first truly global conflict.

This episode we'll join the 6th Army as it began to move inexorably towards the city that bore the name of the Soviet Union's President and which be the grave for almost two million people. But first, we need to take a closer look at General Paulus who was to lead the army to its doom. Unlike other commanders such as Rommel, Guderian, Hoth and Halder, Paulus possessed what historian Anthony Beevor calls an exaggerated respect for the chain of command. He was an oddity in many ways, spending long nights bent over maps with coffee and cigarettes at hand. His hobby was drawing scale-maps of Napoleon's campaign in Russia – something which you'd think would have given him some knowledge about the mistakes the Germans' should avoid making. Apparently it did not. He first made his name as his Chief of Staff starting in 1939 in a relationship that appeared odd to outsiders. Reichenau almost looked the part of a thug, thick set and tough whereas Paulus was tall and very much the officer and a gentleman. With his advanced map reading skills, Paulus was part of the group of Generals who planned Operation Barbarossa and was eventually nominated by Reichenau to take over the control of the 6th Army which he did on New Years day 1942. We heard about that in the last podcast. One of the most memorable events of this battle was the role played by an all-women battalion which the Germans described as a bandit battalion led by a redhead. A senior NCO writing later said “The fighting methods of these female beasts showed itself in treacherous and dangerous ways. They lie concealed in heaps of straw, and shoot us in the back when we pass by..”

En av verdens fremste historikere, Sir Antony Beevor, besøkte Litteraturhuset Fredrikstad i oktober 2018. Krigshistorikeren er ute med boken «Arnhem» om hva som skjedde de ti dramatiske og dødelige dagene i september 1944: Hitlers tropper sto ansikt til ansikt med de allierte soldatene som få uker tidligere hadde gått i land i Normandie, under D-dagen. Slaget om Arnhem, også kalt Arnhem-operasjonen, var Hitler-Tysklands siste store seier på Vestfronten. Slaget ga nazistene nytt håp og nytt mot – i noen uker.Produsent: Litteraturhuset FredrikstadRedigering: Litteraturhuset FredrikstadJingle: Christoffer SchouFoto: John E.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, as Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras seeks a new agreement on a bailout and German chancellor Angela Merkel refuses any talks before this Sunday’s referendum. What will happen is anyone’s guess, but for anyone looking for background information, Intelligence Squared is posting again the podcast of our 2013 debate ‘Angela Merkel is destroying Europe’. Listen to The New Statesman's Mehdi Hasan and Greek MP Euclid Tsakalotos take on historian Anthony Beevor and Belgian-born veteran journalist Christine Ockrent. The debate was chaired by journalist and broadcaster Nik Gowing. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the wake of World War II, as the world discovered the full extent of the atrocities committed by the NAZIs, the German people struggled to make sense of their place in the world. Ruined, occupied and reviled, they had every reason to give up all hope. In his most recent book, The Temptation of Despair, Professor Werner Sollors examines contemporary records from the time to understand how they coped. In the process, he shows a side of World War II that is not often discussed.Today, we regard World War II as a morally clear war but well into 1941 the American people continued to oppose direct involvement. Even after the war, General Eisenhower said "We are told that the American soldier does not know what he was fighting for.” It was only with the discovery of the concentration camps that the American soldier would, as Eisenhower went on to explain, know "what he is fighting against.” World War II stands out in the American psyche as the good war. A war in which good guys fought against pure evil and everyone knew it from minute one and then we destroyed the Axis powers with overwhelmingly military might. Rather than viewing each conflict as unique, America has sought to transform every conflict from Vietnam to the War on Terror into another World War II: a conflict between pure evil and pure good that will be decide by who has superior firepower. As Professor Sollors puts it, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who try and repeat history are doomed to fail.” Not only can we not repeat World War II, World War II is not as morally unambiguous as we think it is. History is written by the victors and the Allies have highlighted the atrocities of the NAZIs without drawing attention to their own misdeeds. As Soviet soldiers occupied Germany they subjected German women to repeated rape on a truly unimaginable scale. British historian Anthony Beevor has described it as “the greatest phenomenon of mass rape in history.” Likewise, even as Americans scolded Germans for their racism, they occupied Germany with a racially-segregated Army.However, there is one bright spot in this untold history. The German people while deeply anti-semitic had never been programmed to have any special dislike towards African-Americans. The result was that for the first time African-American servicemen had the experience of interacting with white people with a sliver of the prejudice they had faced back in the States. More than that, denied command positions, servicemen ended up in supply and transport jobs making them the most popular soldiers among the German people. Historians have suggested that this experience was vital in contributing to the Civil Rights movement when the servicemen went home. More personally, it determined the course of Professor Sollors. His fond memories of the kindness of African-American servicemen to him as a child in post-war Germany caused Professor Sollors to become a Professor of African-American literature.The Temptation of Despair is available on Amazon.
