Ask a few low level questions about World War II and ask a few small questions about World War II

1.At that time, the USSR seemed to have fantasized that Germany would not fight itself, and in that case, why not get a piece of the Polish pie.

2.Introduction to the Soviet-Finnish War, to put it simply, Finland fought the Soviet Union as revenge.

War between the USSR and Finland. After Nazi Germany invaded Austria in April 1938, the Soviet Union repeatedly demanded a territorial exchange and a lease of military bases with Finland on the grounds of maintaining security on the northwestern border and Leningrad, and the negotiations broke down completely on November 9, 1939. On November 28, the Soviet Union unilaterally abrogated the Soviet-Finnish Non-Aggression Pact, and the next day broke off diplomatic relations between the two countries.

On November 30, the Soviet army launched an all-front attack on Finland with 20 divisions (450,000 tanks and more than 1,000 combat aircraft), announcing the establishment of the Finnish Democratic ** headed by Kuusinen (1881-1964) in the occupied area of Therijoki, claiming that the Red Army should **demand to cross the border. Relying on the strong fortifications of the Mannerheim Line built on the Karelian Isthmus, the Finnish army took advantage of the favorable terrain of severe cold and swampy forests to counterattack, and the Soviet army made rapid progress in the Bechaimo and Sara areas of the Arctic Ocean, and the area around the Karelian Isthmus and Lake Ladoga was larger, and the main position of the Finnish army was attacked for a long time. In January 1940, the Soviet army reorganized the offensive, the total strength increased to 46 divisions, launched a general attack on the isthmus with intensive artillery fire and heavy tanks, and the air force bombarded the Finnish rear cities and communication lines, breaking through the Mannerheim Line, and the Finnish army retreated to the Vyborg line on February 26.

On March 13, the two countries signed a peace agreement under which Finland ceded to the Soviet Union the Karelian Isthmus, including Vyborg (Finland's third largest city, an important industrial center and the mouth of the Saimaa Canal), the Sara region, and most of the Gulf of Finland, and leased the port of Hanko to the Soviet Union for 30 years.

After Hitler's Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, Finland declared a state of war on the 25th, and Finland and the Soviet Union resumed the war. The Finnish army launched a general offensive on 28 June, occupied Vyborg and other cities in September, and on 6 December the Finnish announced that they had regained all the territory they had lost in the previous war. After the decisive victory of the Soviet army on the German-Soviet battlefield in 1944, on June 9, the army attacked the Finnish positions and broke through the New Mannerheim Line.

On June 15, the Finnish army withdrew from East Karelia, and on the 20th Vyborg was lost. In July, Soviet troops reoccupied the Sara region, and in August Finland was forced to sue for peace. On September 19, an armistice agreement and a provisional peace treaty were signed with the Soviet Union, and war was declared on Germany.

On February 10, 1947, the Soviet Union and other allies signed a peace treaty with Finland in Paris. In addition to confirming all the provisions of the 1940 Finnish-Soviet Peace Treaty, the Treaty of Paris returned the province of Bechaimo to the Soviet Union; leased the Pokhara Peninsula to the Soviet Union for 50 years; $300 million in compensation. During the two wars between Finland and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union ceded a total of 45,840 square kilometers of land from Finland and moved the Soviet-Finnish border in Karelia 150 kilometers to the north.

Who did the USSR provoke, you ask?? First of all, it is a piece of fat in its own right, and others are already thinking about it. Moreover, although the Soviet Union was a socialist country, it pursued great power chauvinism, unlike our country, which was not as particular as ours.

The second problem: the question of interests, the problem of dogs. Just like little Japan listens to the Americans like a dog, and it is not friendly to China! (At that time, the fascists were very strong, and Finland had no choice but to help and abuse them for the sake of its own interests

ONE About the Normandy landings.

1. The use of ** attacked, and the effect was good, but it could not destroy all the fortifications, especially some of the more concealed fortifications, resulting in the loss of the landing force in these sections.

2. Obstacles can prevent landing craft from grabbing the beach, and can also prevent amphibious armored vehicles and tanks from landing on the shore.

II about tanks.

The tank is closed on all sides and can be observed through the periscope, but the field of view will be affected to a certain extent, so sometimes the driver and commander will stand in the hatch and observe the outside situation directly.

First of all, I would like to say that both the Normandy landings and the Sicilian landings began with the Allied airborne landings and aerial bombardments late the night before.

I think it's mostly a topographical factor. The cliffs of the western coast of Normandy are granite, shale in the east, long sandy beaches in the middle, and fields in the west are very small, and each small patch is shaded by tall hedges. The northwest corner of Sicily is the port of Palermo, the northeast corner is the port of Messina, and the city of Calabria is only separated by a narrow Messina Sea from the city of Calabria in the Italian mainland, and the port of Syracuse is in the southeast corner, and the whole island is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It also has a great deal to do with the situation of the Allied and German armies at that time, and the details can be found in detail. Because I don't remember very well. In fact, in a war, all decisions will not necessarily go according to plan, and may be changed due to different circumstances, so it is not necessary to use ** attack on the landing first will necessarily reduce **.

Combined with all the factors that would determine the outcome of the battle at that time, it was normal for strategic decisions to be different.

This was followed by the second one, when the strategic deception caused the German high command to misjudge the location and time of the Allied landing for a long time, thinking that the Allied troops would land on Calais Beach northeast of Normandy, and even after the Allied landing in Normandy, they still considered it a diversionary feint, which led to the fact that most of the German troops and weapons on the Western Front were wasted in the Calais area, and in Normandy they were unable to resist the Allied landing due to their weak forces.

Of course, the above are my personal opinions, please forgive me for not saying well, I hope it will help you.

This last question is so simple. Of course, it is through the periscope to observe the situation outside.

You can take a look at Saving Private Ryan, and the previous section is about the landing of Ruo Mandy.

1.**also attacked, for the purpose of landing, in order to send the army ashore as soon as possible, the Italian army in Sicily can not be the same as the German army in Normandy, although the defenders are few, the German army is very strong, and Normandy has built a large number of pillboxes, just by ** attacking first, can only knock out a very conspicuous fortress, and the landing force ashore, in order to prevent accidental injury to friendly troops, ** artillery fire can not play a role. At that time, there was no such thing as a precision strike with missiles.

2.That's anti-landing craft, in normal times these obstacles are underwater, if you don't know the location of the landing craft will pierce the hull, when the tide is low, but the purpose is also achieved, is to prevent the enemy's heavy equipment from a long enough distance, although the soldier can be used as a cover, but from that to the distance from the pillbox shooting is difficult to aim, there is no cover at this distance, and the Germans can easily use the machine gun to attack and strafe the Allied troops, Otherwise, the Allies would have lost so many people if they landed.

Second, there are observation windows, no one says that they are completely closed, and there are palm-sized observation windows on the large wheelhouse and turret on the tank, which are basically slender strip designs, and are equipped with periscope observation glasses, and modern tanks are equipped with electronic cameras.

Although the caliber of the Bobo gun is smaller than that of the American Thomp gun, the Bobo gun is much larger than the Tom gun in terms of ammunition capacity, and the Iowa is much better than the Yamato in terms of maneuverability and the Iowa's odds of winning.

Listen to your tone and whether it's a game or a movie to play again. But what I want to say is that real war is never a game, it's not a movie, it's killing, it's suffering. Most of the movies are unreal, and even the sounds of the guns are fundamentally different from the real ones.

As for the Iowa-class battleships or the Yamato-class PK, which has a better chance of winning? There are many human elements in this kind of problem, such as: the experience of the commander, the tacit understanding of the officers and soldiers, the strength of the country, and sometimes even the weather!

That's a blind act in the movie, Tom is good.
