Скачать или смотреть How Hitler Reacted When He Discovered That His Reserve Army No Longer Existed

Berlin, July 1944. Inside the German High Command, Adolf Hitler receives a new series of consolidated reports from the Eastern Front. On the maps, Army Group Center still appears to exist. On paper, divisions are listed, reserves are assigned, and counterattacks are theoretically possible. But the documents tell a far more devastating story.
In the aftermath of Operation Bagration, the German Army in the East has suffered not only a military defeat, but a systemic collapse. Entire divisions have been destroyed, supply networks shattered, and command structures erased. What remains is a dangerous illusion: a reserve army that exists only in reports, not in reality. This documentary reconstructs the moment when German leaders are forced to confront that illusion — and understand that there is nothing left behind the front.
Using declassified reports, operational summaries, and internal correspondence, this episode examines how the disappearance of real reserves stripped the German High Command of any ability to stabilize the Eastern Front. It reveals how the war ceased to be managed through strategy and became a desperate effort to delay the inevitable, dictated by numbers that could no longer be ignored.
