Welcome to /r/Wehrmacht.
RULES:
/r/Wehrmacht is dedicated to encouraging the study and knowledge about the Wehrmacht. Even though the Wehrmacht was part of the Third Reich, this subreddit is not a place for support of National Socialism, racism, eugenics, or discrimination of any kind. However, discussion on these subjects, as long as it relates to how it played a part in the Wehrmacht and is from a historical standpoint, not personal views or prejudices, is allowed as long as it is done in a civil and respectful manner. Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated, and is an offense that will cause users to be banned.
Post information only related to the German Wehrmacht of the Nazi regime that existed from 1935 to 1946. Nothing about the modern German Bundeswehr, German Empire Bundesheer, or Weimar Republic Reichswehr.
For questions regarding the Wehrmacht, please ask the lovely people over at /r/AskHistorians. However, discussion is always welcome here.

I am trying to identify the man in this picture. I found his photograph in a box of my mother’s old pictures from her childhood in Germany. No date or writing on this to help. I think he is wearing a close combat badge but I cannot tell if it is gold, sliver or bronze.

The German narrative film STALINGRAD (1993) is the best portrayal that captured the apocalyptic chaos of the battle.

The Strength of the Soviet Ground Forces, May 1942. Note that they constitute several times the initial 1941 intelligence estimates by the Germans of the maximum size of the Soviet army. Further, they are much higher than the assumptions of what the Soviets had left in summer, 1942.

The Strategic Debate by Soviet Leaders on the eve of Fall Blau 1942. Stalin was overly confident based on the successes and near successes of counterattacks during the previous winter. His generals were more cautious, and tried to restrain his aggressive impulses.

As Fall Blau developed new, tough, more tactically flexible Soviet Commanders emerged from the crucible of defeat. The German failures of late 1942 were not just about a degrading and stretched Wehrmacht but an improving Russia officer corps.

Why Spain Stayed Out of World War 2 ?
In this video I analyse the reasons why Spain decided to not get involved in WW2. Viewers get informed about the Spanish civil war, the financial struggles and the threat of an Allied invasion as the main reasons that made Spain stay neutral. I also used several 3d programs to give a better visualization of the events. Approving this video would be helpful for those who seek information about Spain and WW2.
