Podcasts about Manstein

Hey before I begin the podcast, I just want to thank all of you who joined the patreon, you guys are simply awesome. Please take the time to vote and comment on the patreon polls so I can best tackle the specific subjects you want to hear more about and hell it does not have to be about the Pacific War, I like ancient Rome, WW1, WW2, just toss some ideas and I will try to make it happen.   This Podcast is going to be a very remarkable story about a Korean man who fought for the IJA, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during the second world war.  He is also a man whom most than likely never existed.   Did that catch you off guard haha?   If you have a chance you can pull up wikipedia and search Yang Kyoungjong. The first thing you will notice is a disclaimer that states numerous historians who claim Yang Kyoungjong does not exist. Yet this man exists in some history books, there is a iconic photo of him, there is a documentary looking into him, countless Korean stories are writing loosely about him, there is a pretty decent war film and multiple youtubers have covered his so-called story. So how does this guy not exist if his story is so popular?   His story is claimed to be real by military historian Stephen Ambrose who wrote about him in his book in 1994 titled “D-day, june 6th, 1944: the Climactic battle of World War II. There is also references to him in Antony Beevor's book “the second world war” and that of defense consultant and author Steven Zaloga's book“the devil's garden: Rommel's desperate Defense of Omaha Beach on D-Day”. In 2005 a Korean SBS documentary investigated his existence and concluded there was no convincing evidence of his existence. For those of you who have ever heard of this man, I guarantee it's because of the 2011 south korean film “My Way”. That's where I found out about it by the way. Many of you probably saw the iconic photo of him, again if you pull up the wikipedia page on Yang Kyoungjong its front and center. The photo shows a asiatic man wearing a wehrmacht uniform and he has just been captured by american forces on the d-day landings.   Now I don't want to jump into the is he real or not busy just yet. So this is how the podcast will go down, very reminiscent of “Our fake History's Podcast” might I add, I am a huge fan of that guys work. I am going to tell you the story of Yang Kyoungjong, then afterwords disclose my little investigation into whether he is real or not.   So without further adieu this is the story of a man who fought for three nations during WW2.   The Story   It was June 1944, the allies had just unleashed Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings at Normandy. Lt Robert Brewer of the 506th parachute infantry regiment, 101st airborne division was overlooking the capture of Axis forces and reported to his regiment finding four Asians in Wehrmacht uniform around the Utah beach landings. Brewer nor any of his colleagues spoke the language the Asian men spoke, they assumed them to be Japanese.  The four asians were processed as POW's, listed as young Japanese and sent to a British POW camp, before he would be sent to another POW camp in the US. At some point between his capture and the POW camps, he gave his name as Yang Kyoungjong, stated he was Korean and gave an extremely incredible story. To who did he say these things, no one knows.   Yang Kyoungjong was born in 1920, in Shin Eu Joo, part of modern day North Korea. At the age of 18, Yang was forcibly conscripted into the Imperial Japanese army. Korea was one of the bread baskets of Asia and the Empire of Japan had annexed her in 1910. Japan held sovereignty over Korea, making Koreans subjects.    In 1939 the Empire of Japan faced major labor shortages and as a result began conscription of Japanese men for the military, while importing vast amounts of Korean laborers to work in mainland Japan. For the Imperial Japanese Army, Koreans were not drafted until 1944 when things were dire for Japan. Until 1944, the IJA allowed Koreans to volunteer in the army. In 1938 there was a 14% acceptance rate, by 1943 this dropped dramatically to 2%, but the number of applicants increased exponentially from 3000 per annum in 1939 to 300,000 by the end of the war. On paper it looked like Koreans were registering en masse on their on violation, but this is quite the contrary, the Japanese policy was to use force. Japanese officials began press gang efforts against Korean peasants, forcing them to sign applications, it is believed over half of the applications were done in such a manner. Other applicants registered for a variety of reasons, typically because of economic turmoil. Korea would produce 7 generals and many field grade officers. One of the most well known was Lt General Crown Prince Yi Un who would command Japanese forces in the China War.   Thus Yang Kyoungjong was forced into the IJA and would find himself stationed with the Kwantung Army. Quite unfortunately for him, he was enlisted into their service at a time where two major border skirmishes occurred with the Soviet Union. The USSR was seen as Japan's number one rival going all the way back to the Triple Intervention of 1895 when the Russians thwarted Japan's seizure of the Liaodong peninsula after they had won the first sino japanese war. This led to the Russo-Japanese war, where Japan shocked the world being victorious over the Russian Empire. When the Russian Empire fell and the Russian civil war kicked off, Japan sent the lionshare of men to fight the Red Army during the Siberian Intervention of 1918-1922.    Communism was seen as the greatest if not one of the greatest threats to the Kokutai and thus Japan as a whole. As such Japan placed the Kwantung Army along the Manchurian borderlands to thwart any possible soviet invasion. There had numerous border skirmishes, but in 1938 and 1939 two large battles occurred. In 1938 the Kwantung army intercepted a Soviet message indicating the Far East forces would be securing some unoccupied heights west of Lake Khasan that overlooked the Korean port city of Rajin. Soviet border troops did indeed move into the area and began fortifying it. The Kwantung army sent forces to dislodge them and this soon led to a full on battle. The battle was quite shocking for both sides, the Soviets lost nearly 800 men dead with 3279 wounded, the Japanese claimed they had 526 dead with 913 wounded. The Soviet lost significant armor and despite both sides agreeing to a ceasefire, the Kwantung army considered it a significant victory and proof the Soviets were not capable of thwarting them.   In theory Yang Kyoungjong would be in training and would eventually reach the Manchuria borders by 1939. Another man sent over would be Georgy Zhukov who was given the task of taking command of the 57th special corps and to eliminate Japanese provocations. What was expected of Zhukov was if the Japanese pressed again for battle, to deliver them a crushing and decisive blow. On May 11th, 1939 some Mongolian cavalry units were grazing their horses in a disputed area. On that very same day, Manchu cavalry attacked the Mongols to drive them past the river of Khalkhin Gol. Two days later the Mongols returned in greater numbers and this time the Manchu were unable to dislodge them.    What was rather funny to say, a conflict of some horses grazing on disputed land, led to a fully mechanized battle. On May 14th, Lt Colonel Yaozo Azuma led some regiments to dislodge the Mongols, but they were being supported by the Red Army. Azuma force suffered 63% casualties, devastating. June saw the battle expand enormously, Japan was tossing 30,000 men in the region, the Soviets tossed Zhukov at them alongside motorized and armored forces. The IJA lacking good armored units, tossed air forces to smash the nearby Soviet airbase at Tamsakbulak. In July the IJA engaged the Red Army with nearly 100 tanks and tankettes, too which Zhukov unleashed 450 tanks and armored cars. The Japanese had more infantry support, but the Soviet armor encircled and crushed them. The two armies spared with another for weeks, the Japanese assumed the Soviets would suffer logistical problems but Zhukoev assembled a fleet of 2600 trucks to supply his forces, simply incredible. Both sides were suffering tremendous casualties, then in August global politics shifted. It was apparent a war in Europe was going to break out, Zhukov was ordered to be decisive, the Soviets could not deal with a two front war. So Zhukov now using a fleet of 4000 trucks began transported supplies from Chita to the front next to a armada of tanks and mechanized brigades. The Soviets tossed 3 rifle divisions, two tank divisions and 2 tank brigades, nearly 500 tanks in all, with two motorized infantry divisions and 550 fighters and bombers.    The stalemate was shattered when Zhukov unleashed is armada, some 50,000 Soviets and Mongols hit the east bank of Khalkhin Gol. The Japanese were immediately pinned down, while the Soviets were employing a double envelopment. The Japanese tried to counter attack and it failed horribly. The Japanese then scrambled to break out of the encirclement and failed. The surrounded Japanese forces refused to surrender as the Soviets smashed them with artillery and aerial bombardment. By the end of August the Japanese forces on the Mongolian side of the border were annihilated. On September 15th the USSR and Japan signed a ceasefire.    The battle of Khalkhin Gol was devastating for both sides. The Japanese claim they had 8440 deaths, 8766 wounded, lost 162 aircraft and 42 tanks. Its estimated 500-600 Japanese forces were taken prisoner. Because of IJA doctrine these men were considered killed in action. Some sources will claim the real numbers for Japanese casualties could have been as high as 30,000. The Soviets claim 9703 deaths, 15,251 wounded, the destruction of 253 tanks, 250 aircraft, 96 artillery pieces and 133 armored cars. Of those tank losses, its estimated 75-80% were destroyed by anti-tank guns, 15-20% field artillery, 5-10% infantry thrown incendiary bombs, 3% mines and another 3% for aircraft bombing.   Back to Yang Kyoungjong, he alongside the other Japanese, Manchu and Korean POW's were sent to Gulags in Siberia. As the war on the Eastern Front kicked off between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, facing annihilation the Soviets did anything possible to survive. One of these actions was to create the Shtrafbats, “Penal battalions”. Stalins order No 227 created the first penal battalions, who were supposed to be around 800 men strong. The first Shtrafbat battalion was deployed to the Stalingrad Front on August 22nd of 1942.   On order was issued on November 26, 1942 “status of Penal units of the army”, it was issued by Georgy Zhukov, now deputy commander in chief who was the man who formally standardized soviet penal units. The Shtrafbats were around 360 men per battalion commanded by mid range Red Army officers and politruks. The men forced into these were permanents or temporaries. Permanents were officers, commanders, the higher ranks guys. Temporary known as shtrafniki “punishees” were the grunts, typically prisoners and those convicted of crimes. From september 1942 to May of 1945 422,700 men would be forced into penal battalions.    Typically those forced into penal military units were one of two things: 1) those convicted of dissertation or cowardice, 2) Soviet Gulag labor camp inmates. It seems Yang Kyoungjong found himself in a very awkward situation as he would be forced into one of these penal battalions and sent to fight on the eastern front. As pertaining to Order No. 227, each Army was to have 3–5 barrier squads of up to 200 persons each, these units would be made up of penal units.    So back toYang Kyoungjong, he would find himself deployed at the third battle of Kharkov. This battle was part of a series of battles fought on the eastern front. As the German 6th army was encircling Stalingrad, the Soviets launched a series of wide counter attacks, as pertaining to “operation star”. Operation star saw massive offensives against Kharkov, Belgorod, Kursk, Voroshilovgrad and Izium. The Soviets earned great victories, but they also overextended themselves. Field Marshal Erich von Manstein seeing the opening, performed a counter-strike against Kharkov on February 19th of 1943, using fresh troops of the 2nd SS Panzer Corps alongside two other panzer armies. Manstein also had massive air support from field Marshal Wolfram von Richthofens Luftflotte 4, 1214 aircraft tossed 1000 sorties per day from February 20th to march 15th. The Red army had approximately 210,000 troops who fought in the Voronezh-Kharkov offensive, the Germans would have roughly 160,000 men, but their tanks outnumbered the Soviets 7-1, they had roughly 350 of them.   The Germans quickly outflanked the Soviets, managing to encircle and annihilate many units. Whenever soviets units made attempts to escape encirclements, the German air forces placed pressure upon them. The German air forces had the dual job of airlifting supplies to the front lines giving the Soviets no breathing space. Gradually the fight focused around the city of Kharkov seeing the Soviets dislodged. The Germans caused severe casualties, perhaps 45,000 dead or missing with another 41,000 wounded. The Germans suffered 4500 deaths, 7000 wounded. The Germans took a large number of prisoners, and Yang Kyoungjong was one of them.   Yet again a prisoner Yang Kyoungjong was coerced into serving another nation, this time for Die Ost-Bataillone. The Eastern Front had absolutely crippled Germany and as a result Germany began to enlist units from just about any nation possible and this included former Soviet citizens. There were countless different units, like the Russian liberation Army, die Hilfswillige, Ukrainian collaborationists, and there were also non-Russians from the USSR who formed the Ost-Bataillone. These eastern battalions would comprise a rough total of 175,000 men. Many of the Ost-Bataillone were conscripted or coerced into serving, though plenty also volunteered. Countless were recruited from POW camps, choosing to serve instead of labor in camps. The Osttruppen were to typically deployed for coastal defense, rear area activities, security stuff, all the less important roles to free up the German units to perform front line service.   There were two different groups, the Ost-Legionen “eastern legions” and Ost-Bataillone “eastern battalions”. The Ostlegionen were large foreign legion type units raised amongst members of specific ethnic or racial groups. The Ost-Bataillone were composed of numerous nationalities, usually plucked from POW camps in eastern europe. They were tossed together into battalion sized units and integrated individually into German combat formations. Obviously the Germans did not get their hands on large numbers of Koreans, so Yang Kyoungjong found himself in a Ost-Bataillone.    In 1944, due to massive losses in the Eastern Front, and in preparation for the allies about to open a second front, the Germans began deploying a lot of Ost-Bataillone along the coastal defense line at Cherbourg. Yang Kyoungjong was enlisted in the 709th static infantry division, a coastal defense unit assigned to defend the eastern and northern coasts of the Cotentin Peninsula. This would include the Utah beach landing site and numerous US airborne landing zones. The sector was roughly 250 km running northeast of Carentan, via Barfleur-Cherbourg-Cap de la Hague to the western point of Barneville. This also included the 65 km of land just in font of Cherbourg harbor. A significant portion of the 709th were Ost-bataillon, countless were from eastern europe, many were former Soviet POW'S. There were also two battalions of the 739th Grenadier regiment whom were Georgian battalions. A significant amount of the 709th had no combat experience, but had trained extensively in the area.   The 709th would be heavily engaged on D-day meeting US airborne units and the 4th infantry division who landed at Utah beach. In the early hours of June 6th, the US 82nd and 101st airborne divisions landed at the base of the Cotentin peninsula and managed to secure a general area for the US 4th infantry division to land at Utah beach, with very few casualties compared to other beach landings. After the landings the forces tried to link up with other forces further east. By June 9th they had crossed the Douve river valley and captured Carentan. House to house fighting was seen in the battle for Carentan, the Germans tossed a few counterattacks, but the Americans held on with the help of armor units of the 13th.    The Americans then advanced to cut off the Cotentin Peninsula, now supported by 3 other infantry divisions. The Germans had few armored or mobilized infantry in the area. By June 16th the German command was tossed into chaos as Erwin Rommel wanted them to pull out and man the Atlantic Wall at Cherbourg, but Hitler demanded they hold their present lines of defense. By the 17th Hitler agreed to the withdrawal, under some provisions the men still took up limited defenses spanning the entire peninsula. On the 18th the US 9th infantry division reached the west coast of the peninsula thus isolating the Cherbourg garrison. A battle was unleashed for 24 hours with the 4th, 9th and 79th US infantry divisions driving north on a broad front. They faced little opposition on the western side and the eastern, the center held much stronger resistance. The Americans would find several caches of V-1 flying bombs and V-2 rocket installations at Brix. After two days the Americans were in striking distance of Cherbourg. The garrison commander Lt General Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben had 21,000 men, but many were naval personnel and labor units. Schliebens 709th had performed a fighting withdrawal to Cherbourg and were completely exhausted. The trapped forces were low in provisions, fuel and ammunition. The luftwaffe tried dropping supplies on their positions but it was inadequate.    A general assault began on the 22nd and the German forces put up stiff resistance within their concrete pillboxes. Allied warships bombarded the city on the 25th of june and on the 26th a British elite force, No. 30 Commando launched an assault against Octeville, a suburb of southwestern Cherbourg. The commandos quickly captured 20 officers and 500 men of the Kriegmarine naval intelligence HQ at Villa Meurice. As the Germans were ground down, Schlieben was captured and with that a surrender was made on the 29th.   The Americans suffered nearly 3000 deaths with 13,500 wounded during the operation. The Germans suffered 8000 deaths with 30,000 captured. For the 709th who took a lionshare of the fighting they reported sustaining 4000 casualties.    Amongst the captured was Yang Kyoungjong. As I said in the beginning Lt Robert Brewer of the 506th parachute infantry regiment, 101st airborne division was overlooking the capture of Axis forces and reported to his regiment finding four Asians in Wehrmacht uniform around the Utah beach landings. Brewer nor any of his colleagues spoke the language the Asian men spoke, they assumed them to be Japanese.  The four asians were processed as POW's, listed as young Japanese and sent to a British POW camp, before he would be sent to another POW camp in the US. At some point between his capture and the POW camps, he gave his name as Yang Kyoungjong, stated he was Korean and gave the story. Apparently Yang Kyoungjob was granted US citizenship and would spend the rest of his life in Illinois until his death in 1992.   So that is the story of Yang Kyoungjong.    The truth Did Yang Kyoungjong exist? Where does his story originate? For those of you who have not guessed it yet, the story I told you was full of details, I simply added based on historical events, with zero evidence at all any man named Yang Kyoungjong was involved in them. I did this specifically to highlight, thats exactly what others have done over the course of many years, creating a sort of mythos. If you know the game broken telephone, thats what I would theorize makes up most of this mans story. But lets go through some actual evidence why don't we?   From the digging I have done, the story seemed to originate with historian Stephen Ambrose book in 1994 titled “D-day, june 6th, 1944: the Climactic battle of World War II”. While writing this book, Ambrose interviewed Robert Burnham Brewer, who served E Company, 2nd battalion, 506th parachute infantry regiment of the 101st airborne division. This same man was portrayed in Band of Brothers by the way. Brewer gave one rather ambiguous account where he spoke about capturing 4 asian men in Wehrmacht uniforms.    Here is patient zero as told to us by Ambrose's book (Page 34, no footnote on the page)   The so-called Ost battalions became increasingly unreliable after the German defeat at Kursk; they were, therefore, sent to france in exchange for German troops. At the beach called Utah on the day on the invasion, Lt Robert Brewer of the 506th Parachute infantry regiment, 101st airborne division, US Army, captured four asians in Wehrmacht uniforms. No one could speak their language; eventually it was learned that they were Koreans. How on earth did Koreans end up fighting for Hitler to defend france against Americans? It seems they had been conscripted into the Japanese army in 1938-Korea was then a Japanese colony-captured by the Red Army in the border battles with Japan in 1939, forced into the Red Army, captured by the Wehrmacht in December 1941 outside Moscow, forced into the German army, and sent to France”. What happened to them, Lt Brewer never found out, but presumably they were sent back to Korea. If so, they would almost certainly have been conscripted again, either into the south or north korean army. It is possible than in 1950 they ended up fighting once again, either against the US army or with it, depending on what part of Korea they came from. Such are the vagaries of politics in the 20th century. By June 1944, one in six German rifleman in France was from an Ost battalion.   Now digging further since there are no footnotes, it seems Ambrose took an oral account from Lt Brewer, but did not directly quote him and instead abstractly expanded upon his story. Ambrose was guilty of doing this often. As multiple historians have pointed out, Brewer was living in the 1940s and was by no means an ethnographer, he was not a person who could have accurately known the nationality of the four asian men he captured. It is plausible he or other US units around him, just came up with Korean for the four asians who could have been from nearly anywhere in central to east asia. For all we know the men found could have been from Turkestan. What was “asian” to westerners of the 1940's is extremely broad.    If you look up the Ost-Bataillone or Ostlegionen you will see they consisted of captured former soviet soldiers. During the d-day landings, 1/6th of the German forces defending the atlantic coast were made up of the Ost-battailones. They came from numerous places, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, India, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkestan, Mongolia and numerous parts of the USSR. Needless to say, there were a ton of people whom would be considered asian and could be mistaken to be from Korea, Japan, Burma, etc.    It seems Brewer's vague account was transformed by Amrose, but this only covers one part of all of this, the story, what about the photo?    The iconic photograph is another matter entirely. The photograph has nothing to do with Brewer's account, it is simply a random photograph taken at Utah beach of a captured asian soldier wearing a Wehrmacht uniform. The official description of the photo states “Capture Jap in Nazi uniform. France, fearful of his future, this young Jap wearing a nazi uniform, is checked off in a roundup of German prisoners on the beaches of france. An american army captain takes the Jap's name and serial number” Author Martin Morgan believes the man in the photograph is not Yang Kyoungjong, but instead an ethnic Georgian from the 795th Georgian Battalion, which was composed of Georgian Osttruppen troops or someone who was Turkistani. In 2002 word of the story became more popularized online and in 2004 the iconic photo also began to circulate heavily on the internet. The Korean media became aware of the story in 2002 and when they saw the picture the Korean news site DKBNews investigated the matter. Apparently a reader of the DKBNews submitted biographical details about the soldier in the photo, including his name, date of birth, the general story we now know, his release, life in Illinois and death. The DKBNews journalist requested sources and none were provided, typical.   So some random unknown reader of the DKBNews gave a name, place and time of birth and even where he ended up and died.  In 2005 the Seoul broadcasting system aired a documentary specifically investigating the existence of the asian soldiers who fought for Germany on d-day.   In the SBS special “The Korean in Normandy,” produced and broadcast in 2005 based on rumors of Yang kyoungjog,  they searched for records of Korean prisoners of war during the Battle of khalkhin gol and records of Korean people who participated in the German-Japanese War, and records related to the German Army's eastern unit, but could not find traces of such a person. In addition, the soldiers who served in the Soviet army, who were captured, and then transferred to the German army's eastern units were considered by the Soviet Union to be serious traitors. Accordingly, under a secret agreement between the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union, they were forcibly repatriated to the Soviet Union after the war and held in Gulags.. The SBS production team stated that the rumors that a 'Korean from Normandy' had gone to the United States and that he died in seclusion near Northwestern University under the name of 'Yang Kyoungjong', which they were unaware of, were false. The investigative team looked for any traces of a Yang Kyoungjong and found none, so they concluded although there were accounts of asian soldiers in the German army during WW2, there was zero evidence of the existence of Yang Kyoungjong or any Koreans fighting on D-day for that matter.    The 2005 SBS Special documentary sprang forth a bunch of stories by Korean authors, expanding the mythos of Yang Kyoungjong.   In 2007 author Jo Jeong-rae published a novel titled “human mask” which told the story of SHin Gilman, The story ends with Shin Gil-man, who was conscripted into the Japanese army at the age of 20, as a prisoner of war in Normandy, then transported back to the Soviet Union and eventually executed by firing squad. Another novel called “D-day” by author Kim Byeong-in was release in 2011, just prior to the film My War, the plot is extremely similar to the movie. The main characters are Han Dae-sik and Yoichi, who met as children as the sons of a Japanese landowner and the house's housekeeper, harboring animosity toward each other, and grew up to become marathon runners representing Joseon and Japan. As they experience the war together, they feel a strange sense of kinship and develop reconciliation and friendship.   And of course the most famous story would find its way to the big screen. In 2011 the film My Way came out, back then the most expensive south korean film ever made at around 23$ million.   Then in 2012 a unknown person created a wikipedia page piecing together the Ambrose story, the photo and the unknown DBK readers information. With all of this information becoming more viral suddenly in 2013, two history books hit the scene and would you know it, both have “Yang Kyoungjong” in them.    These are Antony Beevor's book “the second world war” and that of defense consultant and author Steven Zaloga in his book “the devil's garden: Rommel's desperate Defense of Omaha Beach on D-Day”. Both authors took the story, name and iconic photo and expanded on the mythos by adding further details as to how the Korean man would have gone from Korea to Cherbourg france.   So Ambrose's story spreads across the internet alongside this photo. Both spark interest in Korea and an investigation receives some random guys testimony, which quite honestly was groundless. Despite the korean documentary stating there was no evidence of a Yang Kyoungjong, it sparks further interest, more stories and a famous film in 2011. 2012 sees a wikipage, it becomes more viral and now seeps into other historians work.   And I would be remiss not to mention the bizarre controversy that broke out in my nation of Canada. A nation so full of controversies today, dear god. Debbie Hanlon a city councilor in St John Newfoundland was absolutely wrecked online in 2018 for an advertisement promoting her real estate business stating “Korean Yang kyoungjong fought with Japan against the USSR. He then fought with the USSR against Germany. Then with Germany against the US! Want an agent who fights for you, call me!” Really weird ad by the way. So it seems her ad was to point out how far she was willing to go for her real estate clients. It was considered extremely offensive, and not the first time she pulled this off, her husband Oral Mews had recently come under fire for another ad he made using a photo of the Puerto Rican cab driver Victor Perez Cardona, where the vehicle turned into a casket. That ad said “He can't give you a lift because he's dead. He's propped up in his cab at his wake! Need a lift to great service, call me!” Hanlon was surprised at the amount of backlash she received since the ads had been running for over 4 years online. She claimed to be the victim of cyberbullying and trolls. So yeah, that happened.    Did Yang Kyoungjong exist, more than likely not, was it possible some Koreans found themselves in a position his story pertains to, you know what it's quite possible. During War a lot of weird things happen. I hope you liked this episode, please let me know in the comments on the Patreon what you think, how I can improve things and of course what you want to hear about next!

I vårt mest poststrukturalistiska (faktiskt! Tror jag …) avsnitt hittills går vi igenom veteranberättelser, och varför du inte måste se den där boken på Pocketshop som skrivits av en veteran och marknadsförs med orden ”sanningen om x-kriget” som specifikt sanning. Konsumentinformation, kan man säga.Mattis von Viktigpetter inleder med att beskriva varför du ska ta riktigt många soldatmemoarer med en rejäl skopa salt – detta oavsett om författarna råkar heta von Manstein eller SOG MacRanger-face. Per af Kättare gör istället två helt olika grupper sura genom att konstatera att vare sig Sven Hassels böcker eller Band of Brothers är just historiska dokumentärer.Dessutom: Per undrar om han någonsin blev raketbeskjuten, Mattis tar tillbaka allt i Dak To-avsnittet, omvänd stolen valor, varför du ska ta politikers dagböcker med en nypa salt, Full Metal Jacket i Irak, och mycket mer!

Las frondosas y aparentemente impenetrables colinas de las Ardenas fueron escenario de dos de las batallas más decisivas del siglo XX. A pesar de su reputación como terreno intransitable para grandes formaciones militares, las Ardenas se convirtieron en el punto de entrada elegido tanto por la Wehrmacht en 1940 como en 1944, en dos momentos claves que determinaron el curso de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En 1940, las fuerzas alemanas, bajo el mando de von Manstein y Guderian, sorprendieron a las defensas francesas al lanzar un audaz ataque a través de este sector, quebrando el frente aliado y llevando a la caída de Francia en cuestión de semanas. Este movimiento, conocido como el "Sichelschnitt" o "golpe de hoz", mostró al mundo la eficacia de la Blitzkrieg, revolucionando el arte de la guerra moderna. Cuatro años más tarde, en el invierno de 1944, las Ardenas se convirtieron nuevamente en el centro de la acción, esta vez como último intento desesperado de Hitler por revertir la marea de la guerra. La ofensiva, bautizada como la "Operación Wacht am Rhein", pretendía dividir las fuerzas aliadas y capturar el vital puerto de Amberes. Aunque inicialmente exitosa, la resistencia aliada y la falta de recursos condenaron la ofensiva a un fracaso, dejando a Alemania sin fuerzas para detener la inevitable derrota en el Frente Occidental. En este programa, exploramos los paralelismos y diferencias entre ambas batallas: la audaz táctica de 1940 frente al desesperado asalto de 1944. Analizaremos cómo las lecciones aprendidas por ambos bandos en las Ardenas influyeron en el desenlace de la contienda y en la historia militar de Europa. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ YOUTUBE Podcast Antena Historia - YouTube correo..... mailto:info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices https://advoices.com/antena-historia Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

En el verano de 1943, Alemania y Rusia batí­an sus fuerzas en las afueras de la ciudad soviética de Kursk, luchando por hacerse con el control de la frontera oriental. El Mariscal de Campo Erich von Manstein lideraba las fuerzas germanas, mientras el Mariscal Georgui Konstantí­novich Zhúkov -un hombre con fama de dogmático y peligroso- hací­a lo propio con el Ejército Rojo de Stalin. Hitler estaba convencido de que sus nuevas armas, como el tanque Tigre, determinarí­an su victoria, por lo que ordenó a Von Manstein que resistiera en sus posiciones hasta la llegada del nuevo armamento. Zhúkov no podí­a permitirles ese margen. Por ello, puso en marcha una estrategia basada en la superposición de distintas lí­neas defensivas, que del 4 al 20 de julio enfrentará al ejército alemán y al soviético en la batalla de tanques más espectacular de la historia, cuyo final cambiará el transcurso de la guerra para siempre.

The Germans began an operation to relieve the siege of Stalingrad, but the Red Army was already prepared with a counter attack.

Slaget vid Kursk år juli 1943 brukar kallas världens största pansarslag. Tusentals tyska och sovjetiska stridsvagnar och hundratusentals soldater drabbade samman i en kamp som definitivt skulle avgöra hur kriget utvecklas de kommande åren.”Stål! Stål! Stål!” löd det sovjetiska stridsropet när stridsvagnarna mötte varandra i strid på nära håll. På slagfältet sattes nya typer av tyska stridsfordon in – Pantherstridsvagnar och pansarjägaren Ferdinand. Det räckte trots allt inte till en seger utan den tyska offensiven körde fast.I denna nymixade repris av Militärhistoriepodden behandlar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved operation Citadell eller slaget vid Kursk som det också brukar kallas.Efter bakslagen vårvintern 1943 och slaget vid Stalingrad inledde tyskarna planeringen för sommarens tilltänkta offensiv för att återta initiativet på östfronten. Hitler hade efter Stalingrad tappat en del av sitt starka självförtroende och lämnade våren 1943 i större utsträckning plats för sina underlydandes uppfattningar och initiativ. Guderian var som inspektör av pansarvapnet ansvarig för att skapa nya pansarförband och ansåg att man inte skulle genomföra några operationer utan avvakta och bygga upp styrkan. Manstein tog ledningen för den krigsplanering som inleddes. Manstein förordade en taktik – ”Schlagen aus de Nachand” – som gick ut på att man lätt ryssarna anfall och därefter inledde en tillfällig reträtt. När de sovjetiska förbanden hade tunna ut sina underhållslinjer skulle de lättrörliga tyska pansardivisionerna gå till motanfall och krossa motståndet i inringningsoperationer. Men Hitler accepterade inte att man övergav territorium.Till slut bestämdes att en offensiv skulle inledas senast till sommaren när vägarna var farbara igen efter vårfloden. Men var skulle man anfalla? Genom de sovjetiska motoffensiverna efter Stalingrad hade det skapats en stor utbuktning i fronten kring staden Kursk. Denna utbuktning blev målet för de tyska anfallsplanerna våren 1943. Från norr och söder skulle starka pansarkåren anfall och genom en kniptångsmanöver ringa in och besegra stora sovjetiska truppmassor.På sovjetisk sida var man full medveten om de tyska planerna bland annat genom spioner och de västallierades signalspaning. Området kring Kursk förvandlades till ett fördröjningsområde med fältbefästningar, nergrävda pansarvärnskanoner, mineringar och stridsvagnsgravar som fick första världskrigets skyttegravsområden att förblekna i jämförelse. Civilbefolkningen uppbådades i hundratusentals för att hjälpa till. När anfallet väl kom efter att skjutits upp flera gånger körde de tyska pansardivisionerna fast i fördröjningszonerna.Orsakerna till förseningarna var att de nya stridsvagnstyper som tyskarna ville få med inte hunnit levereras i tillräcklig mängd. Pantherstridsvagnen fick sitt elddop vid Kurs och även Tigerstridsvagnen fanns med i striderna. Den tunga pansarvärnsvagnen Ferdinand återfanns i ett antal om nästan 90 vagnar. Många av dessa nya stridsfordon hade tydliga barnsjukdomar och kunde inte riktigt komma till sitt rätta. Förlusterna i det slag som inleddes den 5 juli och avslutades definitivt den 20 juli blev mycket stora. Tusentals stridsvagnar och tiotusental soldater stupade och skadades.Lyssna också på Oktoberkriget 1973 – när israelerna slogs för sin överlevnad samt Svenska Stridsvagn S utmanade bilden av en stridsvagn.Bild: Sovjetiska trupper på Voronezhfronten i motattack bakom T-34-stridsvagnar vid Prokhorovka, 12 juli 1943.

La pinza Norte de Model traspasa con dificultad el primer anillo defensivo, pero Rokossovsky lo combate y se crea una batalla salvaje por el control de Ponyri, un pequeño pueblo, nudo de comunicaciones, que se convierte en un pequeño Stalingrado donde se lucha casa por casa por cada metro de terreno. Manstein ataca por el Sur, con algo más de suerte, y el 8 de Julio ha avanzado 30 kilómetros, atravesando los dos primeros anillos defensivos. Puso rumbo a su próximo objetivo, una población llamada Projorovka.

Frente al metódico Rundstedt, o a un Manstein capaz de captar todos los problemas operacionales de una situación, Model era un soldado enérgico, con una fuerte carga de desprecio hacia las jerarquías, y dirigía a sus hombres desde el frente.

As dawn broke over the rolling steppes of Russia in the early summer of 1943, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The flat, open expanse of land around the small town of Prokhorovka had become a centerpiece in a titanic struggle. In the west, Adolf Hitler, the German Führer, was planning a decisive strike against the Soviet Union, a strike that he believed would turn the tide of World War II back in favor of the Axis powers. In the east, Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Premier, was bracing for the impending assault, pouring men and materials into the impending battleground in an attempt to break the back of the Wehrmacht once and for all. The stage was set for one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history. The Battle of Prokhorovka was a titanic clash of steel and willpower, a day of horror and heroism that would leave its mark on the participants and the landscape alike. The outcome would shape the course of the Second World War and, by extension, the rest of the twentieth century. Join us as we delve into this crucible of history, exploring the strategies and tactics of the commanders, the experiences of the soldiers, and the broader implications of the battle. We will uncover the motivations of key figures such as Erich von Manstein and Georgy Zhukov, illuminate the individual acts of valor that marked the day, and probe the lingering questions and controversies that surround this epochal event. Through it all, we will seek to understand not only what happened at Prokhorovka, but also why it matters. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ww2-stories/support

Programa en vídeo con mapa en nuestro canal de You Tube RECOMENDABLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwZYX9uxn-4&t=2571s La actual Ucrania fue el lugar en el que más combates se produjeron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Desde que los alemanes invadieron la Unión Soviética en verano de 1941 hasta mediados de 1944, en ella se combatió con total brutalidad sin ninguna pausa. En esta ocasión hemos hecho una recopilación de programas sobre estabas batallas, en la que se incluye la contraofensiva de Manstein en Jarkov, la batalla de Kursk, la ofensiva del Dniéper y la batalla por Crimea.

¿Tenían las Waffen SS prioridad a la hora de recibir equipo militar? ¿Qué pasaba cuando eran detectadas por los Servicios de Inteligencia Aliados? ¿Eran sus mandos políticos? ¿Eran voluntarios los miembros de las Waffen SS? ¿Qué opinaba el mariscal von Manstein sobre ellas? ¿Por qué no usaban a todos sus hombres en el combate? Estas son algunas de las curiosidades que vamos a ver en este programa. La mayoría han sido sacadas del libro de Jean Luc Leleu sobre las Waffen SS.

Mientras que los del bando alemán fueron en su mayoría juzgados y condenados, los del bando Aliado tuvieron mejor fortuna, aunque no mucha si se trataba de los generales soviéticos. Estos tuvieron que lidiar con Stalin hasta el final de la vida del dictador, y no gozaron de la fama y el poder que si tuvieron los ingleses o estadounidenses. A continuación en este programa, vamos a analizar qué ocurrió con generales como Manstein, Guderian, Montgomery, Konev y muchas más, tras la finalización de la guerra.

En apenas unas semanas, las potencias del Eje han pasado de soñar y especular con la victoria, a encontrarse en una situación totalmente desesperada. Si bien para Japón la situación no es todavía tan critica, si lo es para Alemania e Italia. Con toda su ala sur del Frente Oriental desmoronándose, y las tropas de África aisladas en Túnez, se necesita poco menos que un milagro. A continuación en este programa, vamos a analizar los acontecimientos de la primera mitad de 1943, en el que la guerra quedará más que sentenciada. Para ello contaremos con Rubén Villamor, Antonio Muñoz Lorente y Fernando Paz.

Programa completo en vídeo con mapas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjsMxUj4c_Y Desde diciembre de 1943, hasta abril de 1944, en Ucrania Occidental se libraron algunos de los combates más duros de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A pesar de que han pasado prácticamente desapercibidos, esta serie de batallas fueron determinantes para el devenir de la guerra, debido a que absorbió gran parte de los recursos de Alemania durante la primera parte de 1944. Aquí fue donde el mariscal von Manstein libró sus últimos combates, e intentó contener a la marea soviética que se le vino encima. Estos acontecimientos son conocidos como la Ofensiva del Dniéper-Cárpatos, y a continuación, vamos a analizarla.

A continuación en este programa, vamos a analizar la evolución de las operaciones, y vamos a imaginarnos lo que hubiera podido pasar si Manstein no hubiese tenido éxito.

A continuación en este programa vamos a analizar el destino de los hijos de todos estos hombres.
