The WRATH of Soviet BS-3 100mm Guns Against Hitler's Sixth Army in Romania

#ww2history #wwii #militaryhistory In August 1944, the German Sixth Army had already been destroyed once at Stalingrad. Berlin rebuilt it from scratch and sent it south to guard Romania's oil. It lasted nine days. During the Second Jassy-Kishinev offensive, the Red Army's 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts smashed the Romanian flanks, encircled Army Group South Ukraine, and annihilated the reborn Sixth Army, with the brand new BS-3 100mm field gun helping to crush the German armor that tried to break out. This video covers how the BS-3 100mm gun worked, why it could kill Panthers and Tigers at long range, the nine-day encirclement that erased the rebuilt Sixth Army, King Michael's coup that flipped Romania, and the fuel crisis that followed the loss of Ploiesti.
