The Germans won the Battle of Kiev but they lost the biggest battle

At the time of The German frenzied aggression, there was a war that Hitler called the greatest siege in the history of war, and this battle was the Battle of Kiev. The Battle of Kiev was set against the backdrop of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. The operation, code-named Barbarossa, was used by Germany against the Soviet Union.

When Hitler took Central Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe and the Balkan Peninsula, only Britain failed to be subjugated by virtue of its geographical advantages, such a war situation naturally made Hitler's desire for power expand, and he felt that he could really be invincible and sweep the world. In order to make more countries submit to him, he began the layout of the war on the Eastern Front, and this time he chose the Soviet Union.

However, in order to protect itself, the Soviet Union actually had a long-term defense against Germany, such as maintaining neutrality with Japan, negotiating peace with Germany, establishing an eastern front, and increasing strategic depth. But in these Soviet defense measures, the Soviet Union pushed countries such as Finland and Romania against itself, and such acts were condemned by the whole world. But even the Soviet Union did not allow Hitler to let him go, and the background of the Battle of Kiev was exactly the same, and in this situation, Germany began to plan to invade the Soviet Union.

So in 1941 the Battle of Kiev began, and the background of the Battle of Kiev seemed to determine its fate, this time, the Soviet side of about 600,000 people were captured, nearly 200,000 casualties. Germany can be said to have won a huge tactical victory, but the Battle of Kiev was only the beginning of the Soviet-German war, which lasted for several years and also caused the Soviet people to suffer from the displacement of the war.

Introduction to the Battle of Kiev

The Battle of Kiev was the largest siege of World War II. It was undoubtedly a tactical success for the victorious German side, but it was an unprecedented setback for the defeated Soviet Union. What about the course of this battle? Below is a brief introduction to the Battle of Kiev.

After The Second World War, Germany quickly occupied more than a dozen countries, and the war of aggression went very smoothly, so it quickly pointed its spearhead at the Soviet Union and began the Babasa Plan. After the Germans began planning, they achieved great success in the north and the center, leaving only the south, which had a large number of Red Army troops. After some engagement, the Soviets decided that Germany was mainly attacking the southwest, and focused on deploying here. But after many battles, the disparity in strength between the two sides had begun. The day after the campaign began, the Germans succeeded in capturing Zhytomyr. After the failure of the first German plan to capture Kiev, the Soviet general suggested to Stalin that Kiev be abandoned to defend the capital, but was refused, and because of this, the German army soon withdrew the door to Moscow. At this time, Hitler changed his strategy for attacking Moscow and prepared for siege and annihilation in Kiev. On September 16, 1941, the siege began, and the German army began to attack the five Soviet armies. Although the Soviets struggled to resist, they were not well-equipped German opponents, and the Germans also repelled the Red Army that came to the rescue again and again. Although 20,000 people broke through the siege, it was still impossible to rewrite the tragic history of the total annihilation of the Southwest Front. This is the brief introduction to the Battle of Kiev.

From the brief introduction of the Battle of Kiev, it can be seen that the German army's excellent equipment and correct tactics are the magic weapons for its success, and the wrong command of the Soviet army and the wrong estimation of the situation finally led it to the road of failure.

The result of the Battle of Kiev

The Battle of Kiev got its name from the Battle of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, known to the Soviets as the Defensive Campaign of Kiev, which Hitler considered the largest encirclement and annihilation in the history of warfare. The Battle of Kiev was a siege of World War II that caused great panic and casualties, and today it is considered by historians to be the largest siege. The outcome of the Battle of Kiev is also very much concerned in this battle of justice and injustice.

The Battle of Kiev fought in Barbarossa and took place on 23 August 1941 and ended on 26 September 1941. Hitler drew up a tight plan for the campaign and dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet Union. It has to be admitted that the outcome of the Battle of Kiev proved the strategic victory of the German army, of course, this is also an unprecedented defeat of the Red Army. Kiev fell in this battle, the German army carried out a brutal massacre, the Soviet union suffered heavy casualties, statistics on September 29 and 30, 1941 two days, 33,772 people lost their lives, by the end of the Battle of Kiev, the Soviet army has been annihilated eight army groups have been annihilated, 650,000 captured. At the same time, in the face of this defeat, the Central Committee decided that Zhukov would be reused, and Stalin was forced to release a large number of outstanding officers who had been imprisoned for the Great Purge in an emergency situation, and the German Army Group Center was excited to pounce on Smolensk. At this time, the Red Army did not have much reserve strength, and it was far from the German army in terms of war weapons.

But the outcome of the Battle of Kiev did not affect the final outcome of World War II. So the Battle of Kiev, although it gave Germany a small strategic advantage, gave the Soviet Union a painful lesson to learn, and thus defeated Germany later.

The impact of the Battle of Kiev

In 1941 there was a great war between the Soviet Union and Germany. This war was a large encirclement war in the Ukrainian country in World War II, this battle was made by Hitler the largest siege war in the war, and it is also recognized as the largest encirclement station in history, this war took place in Kiev, and therefore it was called the Kiev Campaign, so what was the impact of the Kiev Campaign?

After the outbreak of World War II, the German army swept through Europe, the Western Front campaign was successful, Hitler thought he could concentrate on the Soviet Union, so he began to make plans to invade the Soviet Union, and in September, the largest siege in history began. The army in the southwest of the Soviet Union was divided by Germany, due to insufficient troops, the army in the southwest of the Soviet Union did not succeed in breaking through, the war lasted for 2 months, the Soviet Red Army was captured more than 600,000 people, about 170,000 casualties, this battle finally Germany won the victory, the Soviet Union was defeated, so what was the impact of this battle that Hitler called the largest battle in history, the Battle of Kiev?

The impact of the Battle of Kiev should be said to be very great and important. After this battle, the Soviet army mobilized a total of 800,000 reserve forces to defend Moscow, but when the Red Army lost the Battle of Kiev, the Soviet front bought time to defend Moscow, which contributed greatly to the victory of the Allies in World War II. And the Soviet Union learned the lessons of the defeat in the battle, counter-encircled the German army in the more important Battle of Stalingrad, achieved an important victory in World War II, and also changed the pattern of war in World War II. The Germans won the world's largest encirclement, but since the Germans had no experience in winter combat, they won the Battle of Kiev and the Germans who remained in the Soviet Union lost the biggest war!
