- 8 mins. Mark Felton Productions, pub. Feb. 2021. In February 1943, Hitler flew to the HQ of Army Group South on the Eastern Front for critical meetings. Little did he realise that Soviet tanks had broken through and were racing for the airfield where he was about to board his plane to leave.

1. I've read a lot on World war II, and Hitler.

Hitler never visited any army group. This is just some more made up bullshit.

3. You sure about that?

"Adolf Hitler visited the Eastern Front was on December 2, 1941, when he went to Army Group South HQ at Mariupol, Ukraine.

Here he met with Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, the supreme commander, and Erich von Manstein, the Chief of Staff, among other commanders present. The reason for the Fuhrer’s visit was logistical and military problems that beset the Wehrmacht near Rostov."
