It was the last major war where there was a clearly defined "good side" versus an "evil side" that only edgy contrarians today insist wasn't completely psychopathic.

yeah they heroically beat up the literal children and geezers that were stationed in the west after the russians had wiped out the formidable forces in the east, bravo

Germany started a World War and plunged Europe into chaos while at the same time engaging in a systematic genocide of races it deemed inferior. Doesn't get much more evil than that. The rest of the West bent over backwards during Hitler's initial expansionism too so the argument, "Muh WWI" doesn't even fly here.
it was the last time we lived in a world that actually made sense.
I don't mean this in an edgy pro nazi way but an objective way. The post ww2 world is essentially a world that runs on pure gaslighting and bureaucracy.
Everything post ww2 is a globalist UN sanctioned work of fiction.
>>214319246 (OP) >why does WW2 make for such supreme kino?
It doesn't. I get that WW2 was of great historical importance and led to the modern world we live in today, but it's a vastly over-represented war in films and shows. There are many other wars that should be depicted more often (or even just in general) in films and shows.

Gulf War is underexploited in cinema. There's Jarhead, which is good, but that's basically it. Really, there aren't even that many kinos about Vietnam. Despite tons of movies being made about it, most of them aren't worth watching.

Focus on taking out Moscow. It was the central hub for the logistics and communications for the entire country. Hitler kept diverting troops to the South because he had an autistic obsession with capturing Stalingrad
Also don't get involved with Mussolini's fuck up in Greece which postponed the date of Barborossa.

Wouldn't Germany need to secure the oil fields and facilities to the south first, in order to sustain a campaign to take Stalingrad and Moscow?

There really was nothing respectable about the meatwaves. It worked but at a tremendous cost. Wonder how they'd have done if Stalin hadn't have killed his top generals years before... might not have been any different at all
