Were the Western Allies far more responsible for victory in WW2 than the USSR and the Red Army?
Were the Western Allies far more responsible for victory in WW2 than the USSR and the Red Army? With Marcus Gibson Part of our 1942 series • 1942 Part of our North Africa series • North Africa and the Mediterranean Third Reich and German units playlist • Third Reich and German Forces Part of our ongoing Eastern Front series on WW2TV / playlist The Red Army (Soviet Forces) in WWII • The Red Army (Soviet Forces) in WWII Marcus Gibson returns to the channel to challenge the narrative that the Soviet Union played the largest role in defeating the Third Reich. He will offer an alternate view and bring evidence to support it. He believes Stalin's strategy was mind-bogglingly wasteful and strategically disastrous. Much of the momentum in 1942 was only because the USSR received gigantic quantities of food, without which millions would have starved, etc. He will also suggest that the much lauded T-34 was a horrible tank and its failings were the primary cause of all the setbacks of the first two years on the Eastern front. Marcus Gibson, has a 40-year career in journalism, working at BBC R4, at The European newspaper during the busy decade of news in the 1990s, and latterly as a technology features correspondent and columnist for The Financial Times in London. His exceptionally wide knowledge of WW2 military history, of a new generation of researchers in the UK, US and Germany, together with his experience in covering manufacturing and engineering, have been essential in determining how effective RAF Bomber Command was in destroying the German war economy, its air, land and sea military capabilities and weapons production. The daily raid report found in German archives reveal the scale of damage wrought by RAF bombing – as early as 1940, long before historians think was possible. https://rafbook.co.uk/ Marcus' Previous appearances on WW2TV How RAF Bomber Command became the No.1 factor in Britain's total, destructive defeat of Nazi Germany Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/live/qJdSOAqE...
