Question
Why didnt Hitler win WWII?
Do you think he could have won? If so, what did he do wrong?
Answer
Good question, and one that can be answered on many levels.brbrThe guys above who have mentioned God, Sun Tzu and the Jews are all right.brbrBut he made a series of basic errors, without each of which he may have won the war. brbrThe main one of course was to send his troops into the Soviet Union without proper clothing at the wrong time of year, like Napoleon.brbrAlso at this time in he had to divert troops to help out Mussolini, who was failing in the Balkans.brbrStalingrad became an obsession which eventually broke his army. He should have retreated but would not countenance such a move, in spite of the obvious facts, because of the symbolism of his opponents name. brbrWhich brings us to the fact that he would not leave military planning to the experts, his generals.brbrHe refused to believe that his quotuncrackablequot enigma code had been cracked first by the Polish, then the British I get thumbs down here from Americans who believe Hollywood movies. The British knew in advance everything he was planning to do, right down to each detail they warned the USA about Pearl Harbor but Roosevelt thought Churchill was bluffing to bring America into the war. Churchill had to play a very clever game so as not to let the Gemans know their code had been cracked. Many Allied personnel and civilians lost their lives in German operations rather than risk being too obvious.brbrHe was developing nuclear weapons but the first shipment of heavy water from Norway was sabotaged by a single British agent, and he gave up on it in spite of the enthusiasm of his scientists.brbrIn he nearly had Britain out for the count with its airforce almost destroyed on the ground. In response to a British raid on Berlin, in spite of the counsel of his military staff, he switched to bombing civilian targets in Britain and the RAF had time to recover. This alone saved Britain, without a doubt.brbrHe became a speedfreak, dependent on large quantities of amphetamine to keep going, was obsessed by the occult and his personality disintegrated a just reward for his evil.brbrbrTo Dirk Vermaelen, below doesnt allow emailbrbrAre you Dutch? Probably Flemish.brbrI just love your word quotslugfestquot but what exactly does it mean? Dont rush to answer.
