I would like to continue this discussion a bit from the whole Nazi
You can find the old discussion here if you want to get caught up: http://www.d2sector.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23408
Ok, I need to comment on this post:
Ok, first off Hitler was forunate to have a staff of excellent strategists and he himself just chose which ones would be the quickest. He was not in fact this glorious general you claim him to be.
Secondly, Hitler sent the best of his staff, Erwin Rommel, to Africa and refused to continue sending supplies to him. So not only did he ship off his best general to a desert, simply because Rommel disagreed with one of Hitler's decisions, but he also doomed him to fail.
Thirdly, Hitler had to fight on all fronts because he violated his non-agression pact with Stalin. If he had taken out Britain and America first we would all probably be speaking German right now. All he had to do was wait till he took out the others and the russians would have been screwed. Also, Hitler was a bit of a ***** with those pesky supplies again and many of his men suffered greatly in the cold and his army was much less proficient.
Fourth, yes he was a motivational speaker but you can thank his ascension to the loss in WW I. Hitler found a way to blame the Jews and Gypsies and everyone that he hated in order to gain the favor of the people. The Nazi party was originally just a bunch of guys that met up and talked about how much that hate people really. It wasn't until after their loss in WW I that Hitler really got out there and gave the Germans somebody to blame for their embarassment. The whole "It wasn't our fault! It was the Jews!" idea was a very favorable one for the Germans.
Thank you and good night. Or afternoon...

FraterPerduraboo Wrote:Hitler certainly wasn't a moron. Not only was he a very intelligent person, but also a very eloquent and charismatic speaker and a top-grade general. His inputs to operations "Blitzkrieg" and "Barbarossa" were invaluable and Germany would never have been able to get as far as it did without him. Yes, Germany did have superior technology and training, but wouldn't even a decently intelligence person do that to his army before taking on entire Europe? The reason for why Hitler lost was because he was literally taking on the entire Soviet Union, the United States and various other countries. Germany saw fighting on every single front, and as did the Roman Empire, Hitler finally fell because of overexpansion. There was no way that he could have defended all those fronts with the German economic output at the time, not even with the masses of all the foreign volonteers.
