Generaloberst Of The Wehrmacht Hermann Hoth — The Tank General Even Hitler Was Afraid Of

Every Soviet general knew his name. Every Soviet intelligence report carried warnings when he appeared opposite them on the front. Hermann Hoth was the tank commander the Red Army feared more than any other — a quiet man with wire-rimmed glasses who moved armored forces faster and more aggressively than anyone thought possible. Hitler feared him too. Not as an enemy, but as a man who was simply better at warfare than the Führer would ever be. A man who told Hitler he was wrong, directly, repeatedly, and was always right. In December 1942, Hoth came within thirty miles of saving three hundred thousand encircled German soldiers at Stalingrad. Hitler would not let him finish the job. This is the story of the greatest tank general of the Second World War. And the leader who wasted him. ⚠️ This video is produced for historical and educational purposes only.
