Another scandal inflates Ukraine. This time the local “experts” have created a computer game in which the German troops carried out a successful campaign against the red Army, and in the final Hitler takes the salute at the red square. But if these gromadyane consider themselves ‘ brilliant creatives, hurry to disappoint them. Even in a promotional video they made a strategic mistake, which makes it impossible scandalous act even hypothetically.
You want a scandal? They have me! Simple but very odorous. Anyhow-ready and computer freak, which obviously cause a lot of noise.
just in time for the 75th anniversary of the victory of the team from Kiev Studio Starni Games prepared a “gift” – a game for fans of the “electronic war games” called Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg (the”Strategic thinking: Blitzkrieg”). The fundamental thesis for participants suggested by the authors: “to bring to their knees the whole of Europe at the head of the army of Germany.”
data From publicly reviews should be, that the game authors have included in your content block of twenty military operations, where the user will control land, air and naval forces. “The game was created by a team of real experts in the history of the Second world war, with great attention to historical accuracy and lots of small parts” – so announced the controversial computer product.
so, sitting at home on the couch with a bottle of beer in front of the laptop screen, according to the creators, the player pulls itself virtual the uniform of someone of Hitler’s super-strategists, Guderian, Halder, Rommel, and forward, to crush the Russian defenses on the approaches to Moscow: “Ten thousand soldiers to attack on the left, twelve on the right and in the center of the empty tanks.”
the high point of smelling the cake becomes the final part of the game, designed for the lucky gamers: the leaders of the Third Reich, standing on the mausoleum, the parade of his troops marching through red square. And here the creators of the game – these same “experts in the history of the world”, who reacted “with great attention to historical accuracy”, – rudely screwed up. We see little studied historical literature and film, and in the Russian capital have not been.
the footage, which is presented in a promotional video posted to the public, you can see how German parade turned in the wrong direction.
Is Hitler on the podium in his favorite olive fatigues, a number of “chief Forester” Goering with the Marshal’s baton in his hand, and before them moving on the pavement of the endless rows of tanks, in the sky flying Armada of aircraft of the Luftwaffe. And all this equipment is moved, when viewed from the mausoleum, from right to left. That is the part of St. Basil’s Cathedral to Istoricheskom Museum.
meanwhile, in the real conditions d��the movement of troops during parades in red square always happened and is happening in the opposite direction. As explained by experts, one of the reasons is the availability of sufficiently steep Vasilevsky descent between St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Moscow river. To walk down technology, participating in the parade, is not difficult, but the rise – especially in winter conditions, is not easy. Therefore, there is a chance that any tank or the machine will simply spin, will come out down or even stall the movement of the front columns. So – a fatal mistake, gromadyane. You put a Hitler pig in his game.
However without this small things the quality of the current Kiev computer product, according to experts, leaves much to be desired. The user reviews posted on social networks, mentions that detail is their correspondence to real objects in the “picture” of “Blitzkrieg” much worse, rougher than in other popular computer games.
and the idea to “sculpt” the events of the last war in new ways, fundamentally different does not Shine with originality.
One of the first examples of this “game war” can be found in the distant pre-computer the 19th century.
In 1839 at Borodino hosted a Grand celebration of the anniversary of the famous battle. By order of Emperor Nicholas I, personally present at the celebrations, the legendary battle was played again. At Borodino, this was relocated regiments and batteries that participated in a real battle with the French army. The other part of the troops “played” for the French. In total the reconstruction of the battle involved about 60,000 people. On the starting positions of all the parts were arranged in exact accordance with how it was in 1812. And then began maneuvers – such a toy Borodino №2. Moreover, Russian troops commanded by the Emperor himself.
Who would doubt that in the end “French” were soundly defeated. According to eyewitnesses, Nicholas was very satisfied and referring to Ermolov, and other famous old generals-“the Borodin Quartet”, who was in his entourage said: “do you find that if Kutuzov acted as we are today, the consequences of the battle of Borodino could be completely different?!” After this “Supreme” replica there was an awkward silence and in the silence all heard the General Davydov (brother of the famous poet-partisan Denis Davydov) muttered to his neighbor: “your Majesty forgets that today was not here against him Napoleon!”
All this, of course, ridiculous. And it is sad. Because of the current Ukrainian “creativing” is a blatant mockery of the memory of the heroes of the great Patriotic war. In this regard have already expressed my opinion some of our officials and experts-historians.
the Federation Council Member Frants Klintsevich: “It is generally contrary to international law not only here, but everywhere as the propaganda of fascist ideology. It is a criminal offense.”
And scientific Director of the Russian military historical society Mikhail Myagkov in an interview once again stressed that today another attempt to glorify the army of Hitler and the Fuhrer started a campaign to destroy the Soviet Union really does not help the idea of “independence” of Ukraine: “the plans of Germany was not creating some sort of independent Ukraine free of Moscow. It was supposed to be “Ostland”, the Reich Commissariat “Ukraine”. According to the General plan “OST” about 65% of the population was to be deported to Siberia, and the rest are either completely destroyed or become slaves, serving the interests of the Aryan German nation…”
