Why is the Battle of Courland the last glory of the German army in World War II?

The war began in 1944, when the Germans lost their strategic significance in the coastal groupings, and the Soviet Red Army inflicted its 8th blow on the Germans in this war, which led to the demise of fascism, and finally Germany gradually declined.

This was a war that took place on September 14, 1944, and in the midst of this war. In this war, the strength of the German army was also finally attributed, and the war also made the German coastal grouping meaningless.

Because this war defeated the German army, and it also directly established the victory, and really drove Germany out of the Soviet state.

At that time, Germany's command was chaotic, there were certain internal problems, the control of the battlefield was out of control, and at that time they were all heavy loads of munitions, such as tanks, although they were not defeated, but the military cost investment was huge, and the revenue and expenditure were unbalanced, so they were defeated without defeat.

Germany invested all its wealth and prepared to succeed in the first war, but it ran into its pig teammate Italy, and although it won the battle, it still needed to withdraw from the occupied areas.

Because the German army's campaign purpose was not achieved, while the Soviet army's campaign goal was achieved. Battle losses on both sides are not the criterion for judging the victory or defeat of a campaign.

At this time, when the fierce battle on the Eastern Front was in full swing, Hitler could not help but consider Sicily on the Southern Front, after all, Hitler was not a pure military commander, he was a commander who needed to take over politics, military affairs, and economics.

In the Battle of Kursk, the Germans invested almost all their belongings to prepare for a successful battle, but they encountered their pig teammate Italy, and although they won the battle, they still needed to withdraw from the occupied area.

Even if Kursk wins the Soviet Union, it can launch two more Kursk battles, Germany is okay, he is only suitable for blitzkrieg, once he wins a hundred battles in a protracted war, he will be pushed back if he loses a large battle.

The Anglo-American strategic bombing of Germany, especially the landing in Italy, was a strategic support for Kursk! And when the fierce battle of Normandy that began on June 6, 44 was in full swing, the operation Baglazion on the Eastern Front was launched at the right time on June 22, which can be described as a copy of 43 years of strategic support!

The main reason is that Germany's comprehensive national strength is difficult to support a long-term war of attrition, as long as it cannot win a quick victory, as long as the Soviet Union does not collapse, Germany will inevitably lose!

The Battle of Kursk was a decisive battle in the Soviet-German war, and the reason for Germany's undefeated defeat was that some people believe that the German army was too weak to fight in the war, but some historians believe that the biggest reason was Hitler's command mistakes due to lack of self-confidence.

From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets' tank losses were greater than those of the Germans, the Soviets ** 800,000, the Germans ** 1.1 million, in the later stage of the battle, Manstein threw down a large number of heavy equipment in both retreats, and the problem of lack of fuel appeared again, Hitler could only remove him, because Manstein and other senior front-line generals collapsed, which was what Hitler was most afraid of.

The Allies landed in Italy, and Hitler ordered a retreat. Besides, the battle of Kursk itself has no strategic value. The Germans simply wanted to destroy the living forces of the Soviet army by encircling them on both flanks again.

There were too many Soviet troops, and even if Germany won, will the problem be solved? Romanian oil fields were constantly attacked by Allied pilots, and the Caucasus could not be taken yet. The depletion of oil was the key to the defeat of the German army.

The Germans were bound to lose this battle, because without the use of blitzkrieg, even if they were won, they would not have been able to advance as high as they had in 1941.

The reason why Germany was undefeated was because of their own internal problems, which led to the result of defeat.

Germany twice competed for hegemony with the world powers, both of which ended in failure, but although it was defeated, it was still glorious, after all, it was a strong one!

If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet Union had learned the German army's intelligence in advance and made adequate defensive preparations in advance, this battle would have directly destroyed the Soviet Union's living forces.

Quite simply, at that time, Germany's defense potential and resource support capabilities were no longer enough to support Germany in a long-term large-scale war, and a quick and decisive victory was the only option. If Kursk can destroy the main force of the Soviet Union in a devastating and rapid manner, then Germany still has the possibility of defeating the Soviet Union on the eastern front and concentrating its forces to fight a decisive battle against the US army in the west. But in the end, the battle of annihilation became a defeat battle, and even the defeat was not done, but the battle damage was a little cheaper, so this also determined that he had to bear the result of being sandwiched left and right by the two giants, and losing the war became an inevitable result.

It's like Japan, which destroyed China in March, but if it can't be destroyed in March, then it can only be itself that will perish.

Don't put gold on the face of the Nazis anymore, a war that cannot be won, you have to discuss the success or failure of a battle, who said that the Nazis were undefeated in the Battle of Kursk, and the Soviet Union suffered more losses than the German army? Who has experienced war firsthand? Moreover, the victory or defeat of a battle is never calculated by losses.

Although the Germans seemed to have won the war, they could no longer control the Soviet-German battlefield and could only withdraw from the occupied areas.

The Battle of Kurbaisk was only the last attempt by the Germans to save the tide of the war.

After the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad, the number and equipment of the Soviet army began to surpass the German army, and with the help of the allies, there were also a large number of partisans in the rear of Germany, even if they won the battle of Britain, the United States, France and other countries, they would have to land in Normandy, and Germany itself was seriously damaged, and it was difficult to launch a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union, and the defeat of the German army after the defeat of Moscow and Stalingrad was decided.

Laying a solid foundation for the victory of the USSR, the next step is the battle in Ukraine.

It was impossible at that time, the Soviet army was twice as numerous as the German army, and besides, this active campaign was launched on the side of the Soviet army, and the German army had no advantage!

The defeat of the German army in Kursk is irreversible, the command error, the will to fight, the number of equipment, and the degree of familiarity with the territory are all at a disadvantage, so the probability of success is extremely low, even if it succeeds, it will be greatly damaged, and then look at the Russian army's equipment and high morale, the time and place are favorable, the family has a monthly output of 1,000 tanks, and the soldiers are continuous, so even if it fails, it doesn't matter. What's more, the Russian army is winning one after another, and the German army is losing and retreating, and it has long been impossible to talk about the same day.

It is difficult to exchange a tactical victory for a strategic victory, because after all, the war is fought with comprehensive national strength, and the gap between the two sides is too great.

<> "What is the evaluation of the Battle of Courland.

The most important political achievement of the Baltic Coastal Campaign was the liberation of the Baltic coast of the USSR (with the exception of the Courland Peninsula) from the German army.

Germany lost important food and raw material bases, and the Germans lost a favorable base from which they relied to carry out flank assaults to threaten the Soviet Red Army in East Prussia, and the victory of the Soviet Red Army on the Baltic coast hastened Finland's withdrawal from the war.

As a result of the battle, the German grouping on the Baltic coast lost its strategic significance. Before the Soviet Red Army attacked, 29 of the 59 German corps were routed, while the rest were isolated in Courland and blockaded in the Memel area.

The reduction of the length of the line to 250 kilometers along the Baltic coast made it possible for the Soviet Red Army to free up considerable forces for the winter offensive of early 1945.

The Baltic Coast campaign was characterized by its large scale. Participating in the offensive were the 5 Fronts, the Red Banner Baltic Fleet and the Long-Range Aviation Corps. The strength of the German army in the battle accounted for 25% of the total strength of the Soviet-German battlefield.

The depth of the campaign of the various armies in the first phase of the offensive was 250,300 kilometres, and in the second phase it was 130 kilometres.

The total offensive ground width is 1,000 kilometers. The Baltic Coast campaign showed the continuous improvement of the military scholarship of the Soviet Red Army.

The most striking feature of the campaign was the transfer of the main forces from the Riga direction to the Memel direction during the offensive, which required a large-scale change of deployment of troops at a distance of 120,140 kilometres and the preparation of a new offensive campaign in a short period of time. The concealment of the change of deployment ensured the suddenness of the assault and, to a large extent, the victory of the entire campaign.

The basic forces of the air group were used to support the land forces in the main directions of the various armies.

In the first phase of the campaign, the Air Force (commanded by Lieutenant General Naomenko Air Force) and Army Group (commanded by Air Force General Papivin) operating within the formation of the three Baltic Coastal Fronts alone flew 10,000 sorties, and a total of 10,000 sorties over the course of the campaign.

During the preparation and implementation of the Baltic Coastal Campaign, the Red Banner Baltic Fleet served as the transport of troops and technical equipment; covering the flanks of the attacking army from the sea, providing fire support to the attacking army in the Primorsky direction with aviation and naval artillery; implement landing; Conduct a struggle on the lines of communication at sea.

The partisans and underground functionaries of the Baltic republics actively cooperated with the smooth operations of the Soviet Red Army on the Baltic coast. The Germans were forced to draw large forces from the front to deal with the partisans and guard their own lines of communication.

A total of 112 servicemen of the Soviet Red Army were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, 3 were awarded the second medal "Golden Star", and more than 10,000 were awarded medals and medals. 131 units and corps were awarded honorary titles such as "Riga", "Tallinn", "Varda Liquidga", etc., and 481 were awarded the first award.
