Learn about the massive Red Army push that shocked Hitler in this captivating video. Discover the history behind this pivotal moment in WWII. Instead of moving directly toward Germany, units of the Red Army searched south. In a massive push through the Balkans in late August 1944, nearly 1,500 tanks and 1 million men stormed into Romania. The defending axis forces there had fewer than 400 tanks and only about 800,000 troops. Pro German Romanian soldiers fell apart almost immediately. Three days later, large groups of German troops were surrounded near Chisenau. Hitler issued his usual no retreat order and for nine days, bitter fighting ensued. Over 180,000 German soldiers were either killed or captured, and the rest were forced to retreat. Belatedly. In late August, Romania's pro German dictator, Marshal Ion Antonescu, was arrested. By the end of the month, Romania surrendered.
