They might have surrendered anyway after the samurais were obliterated by the yanks.

Tried to take on too much, too fast. And they should have stopped Japan from attacking us at whatever cost. Had they not lost a fuk ton of men, tanks, and supplies in their failed invasion of Russia, they would have been able to have a stronger hold on the western front. And had America not entered the war, Britain never would have had enough power for an invasion like D-Day.

Shure the oh so powerful jews would have kept Breker from making statues, if their goal was to weaken the white race....they could have stopped the guy from exhibiting his work in the Pompidou...or from staying a respected artist until the 1980s...

Mind blown no one already talked about the big 4 mistakes Hitler made:

1. He ordered to wait at Dunkirk instead of crushing the whole British army even though his leading General wanted to crush them to their bones (Hitler thought it would be good to not massacre them for reasons no one can tell you)

2. After the Bismarck sunk he ordered battleships to stop the Sea Warfare and made the supply line for Britain even easier. Also lost air superiority at that time since he wanted to bomb London instead of strategic spots like factories and airfields. Without the US-British Sea supply line the Air superiority wouldn’t have been possible.

3. Stalingrad was a huge mess. Strategic Mistakes everywhere. Well known by everyone.

4. The battle of kursk (aka the turning point). That was a secret operation. Some insider led every information to the Russians. Again strategic time mistakes. After that it was over.


Also a great mention is the lack of fuel. Germany always struggled with.

They were helped by the same people causing the war (international bankers, Illuminati etc).

Hitler and the Nazis came to power in January 1933 and they invaded Poland in September 1939 which is when the war started. Hitler's plan from the beginning was to always conquer Europe, so for 6.5 years all they basically did in Germany was build up their military. 6.5 years may be a short amount of time on a grand scale, but you can get a lot of chit done in 6.5 years in a well-oiled society like Nazi Germany was.

The fights didn't end in 1918. German troops fought on in the Baltics against Soviet Russia, like Britain and America.

Demobilised soldiers joined paramliitary organisations and para-military arms of parties.

German industry was not destroyed after WW1. Rearmament for revenge started soon after. It was the industry that was the driver, wanting the vast riches of Russia. Hitler was just a public figurehead.

But anyways we also speak "New German" (English) a lot over here.
Maybe in those hypothetical scenarios where the Amerika Bombers worked out and fortress Europa held up we'd all be comfortable with some form of Denglish that exists anyways in Germany today.

Nobody ever in the history of mankind has succeeded in taking over all of Europe. The Romans, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler all tried. The EU will also not succeed into making it a superstate and will fall soon. Napoleon and Hitler in particular became obsessed with what we now know as Russia. EU repeating history all over again

Logistics basically did them in. Plus they had awesome weapons (88mm, Tiger tanks, ME 109, etc) but a lot of them we overly complex and difficult to manufacture compared to the Russian and American counterparts.

As mentioned previously, Hitler had great generals (Model, Guderian, Rommel) but he did not give them the control in situations that they needed to become victorious.

Lol at Poverty Italy getting asswiped by Greeks

Balanced fight yeah


Germany was peak military during WW2, they just couldn't fight everyone at once. Japan was their only buttraping ally they had but they f up by attacking US rather than helping Germany conquer USSR by taking the eastern part. USSR was a weak ass in comparison, but had huge territory and was impossible for one country to overtake it. Also they were supplied by US at the end of the war.

I don't get the nazi's hate for poland. I get that they thought slavs were dumb and unsophisticated but that doesn't explain their intense hatred for slavs, especially poles.

When someone has something you want, or rather think you NEED, then you may start to hate them.

Lebensraum concept was both political and strategic.
Look at the American “Manifest Destiny” and what happened in the American West. Did Americans or rather DO Americans hate aboriginals? Regardless they have been killed, displaced, and generally disregarded in the name of Americcan progress... srs
Here is a translated quote: “there's only one duty: to Germanize this country by the immigration of Germans and to look upon the natives as Redskins.”

WWII was the end of colonization. Hitler ruined it and everyone had to give up their colonies after that.

Less than half of the soldiers who landed on D-Day were American.

If memory serves the tiger tank did not go i to action till towards the end of the war..


He did not finisb then off at dunkirk cause hitler did not want to go to war with england. He said that many times. Hell ha had all of france bur he let the goverment of france keep half its country and most of its colonies

After franc3 he made peace off after peace offee tk Churchill and churchhill wanted nothing but war. All over poland he said but at the end of the war. He let poland reamain conqured by stalin.

You hear. None of this though on tv shiws and movies which are not even historically accurate. Cause he goes against the hate priopganda against hitler. Its weird. Stalin did much worse things. So did japan. Stalin murdered more jews than hitler but you never get told this unless you seek out history

The Germans had superior technology and made mistakes that made them lose the war.

Winning WW2 was not out of their grasp

Canada was also involved, especially in Normandie
