Operation of Barbarossa- Other Divisions?
I am reading Stalin's speeches given at various times and places during the German invasion of the Soviet Union and he persistently emphasizes on the fact that Germans also have Italian, Rumanian, Finns and Austrian divisions at the Russian front. But were these divisions as decisive as Stalin wants us to think? Or is he just giving an excuse for the initial advances of the Nazis in Russia? I'm not talking only in terms of the number of divisions but also their combat skills and the quality of their military material etc
Well, the Austrians weren't in their own divisions, they were ethnic and linguistic Germans and so were integrated into the regular army. But when captured by the Soviets, the Austrians always pointed out that they were Austrians. There was a joke in the Red Army that the quickest way to turn a German into an Austrian was to capure him. The Finns were excellent soldiers, but once they took back what Stalin had taken from them in 1940 they went on the defensive. Of the others, the Hungarians were probably the best, followed by the Romanians and the Italians. In January of 1943 an entire Italian brigade surrendered without firing a single shot, explaining to their captors that they hoped to be treated better since they hadn't killed any Russians.
With regard to the Romanian and Hungarian soldiers, their ineffectiveness was often due to poor equipment rather than anything else. For example, in 1941, the standard anti-tank weapon of German infantry divisions was the 37 mm gun, which was completely ineffective against the T-34 and KV tanks of the Red Army, who called them "door knockers". So in 1942, when the German forces recieved upgraded anti-tank guns, the obsolete 37 mm guns were given to the Romanians, Hungarians and Italians.
Except for the Finns, the satellite armies were not capable of any type of offensive action against the Red Army, their only role was to defend certain areas to free more Germans to attack.
Depending on the timing of the speeches, for any from 1942 or the first half of 1943, Stalin's point might have been that the Soviet Union was taking on not just Germany, but also these other countries, while the US and UK were refusing to take the pressure off of them by opening a second front. Up until Kursk that was something Stalin always tried emphasize.
