In the year 1941 Germany broke the peace pact with Soviet Russia. They pillaged each town, killed, enslaved, murdered, ***ed, (ect..) As they sweept thought Russia with Ease. They lit fires in crops, they killed even the weak defenceless peasents. They used much force to push all the way to the Tundras of Siberia, but by then Russia would have long fallen and all hope lost. But was this action exaduration, or fact, or underestimation?
And with the Soviet's responds years later, possibly doing 10x worse than what Germany did to them.
Stalingrad was the wittness of real patrioism, they never give up they would go to the battlefield, and fight. All they want is to defend their land.....To get rid of the Nazi invaders.
I'd concur, but I think it could have been successful if Mussolini hadn't butchered his Greek campaign (Italians, who can trust 'em to fight?) and forced Hitler to divert valuable manpower, resources, and most importantly, time from Operation Barbarossa.
The Soviets were nearly as bad as the Nazi's they both should of been put on war crime charges. Also Operation Barbarrsso was Hitler over extending himself.
Hitler's fatal mistake was invading the Soviet Union.
I agree with you. I really do.
But was this action exaduration, or fact, or underestimation?
Wait, is exaduration a word? Or do you mean exaggeration?
Operation Barbarossa spelled doom for the Nazis. It was an utter failure. If the Nazis did not attack the Soviets or if they won against them, they'd have better chances at success.
While the real beginning of the end for the Nazis was the success of Operation Overlord, they took a very hard hit from Barbarossa. Eventually, the Soviets returned the favor.
Also Operation Barbarrsso was Hitler over extending himself.
This picture is quite funny when you know that the power in Russia, when theys aw this picture, noticed that the soldier that raises the flag upon the Reishcstag was wearing two watches, after he had stolen one from a german... So they erased it... It's no big deal but it shows how it goes in war..
How could they notice he was wearing two watches one wrist area is behind the flag the other is unseen its to dark to see
On his right arm, he wears one watch, but on the original picture, he had two, so the second has been removed. It's not a legend, it's a very common anecdote, theer's plenty of this type, about political opponents removed from phots with Stalin, etc...
Hitler's mistake didn't even have to be Russia, is was his own ignorance; it was his contemplating when going for the throat; when he launched his campaign against the Soviets in Stalingrad, and he drew up plans, scrapped them, and drew up more plans until he finally lost his sense of reality. He split the 6th army into to two groups; one to attack critical oil fields and another to overtake the city itself. His plan almost worked, but his arrogance lead to his 6th army's complete destruction when he pushed so far into the city with victory in sight that the Red army could just encircle the 6th army using the German's own revolutionary tactic of encirclement. But that wasn't even the end yet, at Kursk the Germans still had a hope of defeating the red army, which by then took extraordinary casualties. Hitler kept delaying and interfering with his General's planning and sure enough thereds managed to get enough supplies to just have more troops and tanks than the Germans had bullets.
I'd concur, but I think it could have been successful if Mussolini hadn't butchered his Greek campaign (Italians, who can trust 'em to fight?)
The Greek army was heroic, though I think that the attack was a huge mistake. Greece that time had a fascist dictator Metaxas, who said that he admired the fascists. Mussolini asked him to surrender in a way that he had to deny and he also attack to early. Metaxas said the "oxi" No, which Greece celebrates and the Italians not well armed and overconfident lost and they were pushed back to Albania. They won Greece only with the help of the German army and the attack there was not in the plans of Hitler and they got weekend for this reason they had now enemies in every single European country.
Hitler would of won. If he had focused 100% of all combat troops on Africa he would have pushed Montgomery out before the Americans were even in the war. he then would of captured all of Malta and other Mediterranean areas before turning full strength on Britain. if he had kept hammering away he would of won he could have used rockets to demolish city or he coukd of stopped D-day cold with a massive Atlantic wall 10 times stronger than it was on June 6. bbut he invaded russia and almost won if he had kept pushing through he would of linked up with japan and probably invaded US Canada and South America.
