Fun fact Some US tank crews have pictures of Heinz Guderian in their tanks during the Iraq war. Guderian is usually regarded as the grand father of motorized tactics and was a Generaloberst in the German army during world war 2 5 Likes |

Have you notice his cute smile? The guy also pioneered the radio comm in tank warfare. Btw why is no one talking about the Pacific campaign? The movie Pearl Harbor offers some insights. Missy89: |

Defaramade:YES. "MAY YOUR ROAD BE ROUGH" WORKED FOR THE SOVIETS. THEY HAD ZHUKOV, LUCKY THEM. IT WAS STALINGRAD THAT MARKED THE BEGINNING OF NEW AGE FOR THE SOVIETS. SOVIET WAS TRULY BORN FROM THAT BATTLE, RATHER IT WAS A DIFFERENT THEATER ON ITS OWN, A KIND OF SUB-WAR OF THE 2ND WORLD WAR. DIRECT CONFRONTATION BETWEEN STALIN AND HITLER. GERMANY WAS A WAR MACHINE BUT THEY WERE TOO STRETCHED FROM HOME. SOVIETS HAD HOME ADVANTAGE. 1 Like |

aaronson:IT WAS HITLER'S ALIENATION AND EXTERMINATION OF THE JEWS THAT COST HIM THE WAR. A LOT OF JEWS FOUGHT ON THE GERMAN SIDE DURING WW1. IF HE HAD USED JEWS IN THE WAR AGAINST SOVIET HE WOULD HAVE WON. THE GERMAN JEWS WERE VERY MUCH LOYAL TO THE STATE. EVEN IF YOU PERCEIVED THEM AS ENEMIES THERE IS A WAY ONE CAN USE ONES ENEMY TO ADVANTAGE. LESSON LEARNED FOR THE FUTURE. |

Defaramade:IT WAS NOT A BAD IDEA INVADING RUSSIA THEN. RUSSIA WAS BACKWARD AND GERMANY HAD TOO MANY VICTORIES BEFORE STALINGRAD THAT MADE THEM OVERCONFIDENT. RUSSIA WAS TOO FAR BUT "DEFEATEABLE". THE RUSSIANS ONLY FOUGHT FOR THEIR LAND. AS IN THE CASE OF NAPOLEON, THEY RETREATED AND USED SCORCHED EARTH POLICY. NAPOLEON NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE ON RUSSIAN SOIL, THEY ONLY MADE THEIR SOLDIERS AND RESOURCES UNAVAILABLE FOR HIM AND WAS TOO FAR FLUNG ALSO. CHECK HISTORY BOOKS. |
Re: A Thread For Nazi and WW2 History Enthusiasts by nigeriancritic1(m): 12:34pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
Defaramade:NAPOLEON ALREADY HAD THE WEST IN HIS POCKET AND ENJOYED A SOLID ALLIANCE FROM ALL OF EUROPE. HITLER HAD A SERIOUS BATTLE IN FRANCE, BELGIUM, LOW COUNTRIES, NORTH AFRICA. IF ONLY HE HAD ONLY RUSSIA TO CONTEND WITH IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT STORIES, STALIN WAS ALREADY TRIED TO LEAVE MOSCOW FOR HITLER BUT ONLY SUMMON COURAGE AND GAMBLED TO STAY BACK AND HE SHOULD THANK ZHUKOV AND OTHERS FOR THE GOOD WORK. THE WEHRMACHT WAS A FORMIDABLE ARMY BUT TOO STRETCHED. |

nigeriancritic1:Sir, I wouldn't be too sure if I were you, Rommel fought in the western front and in North Africa which I can say that the Germans had it easier in the western front than in the eastern front; The Soviets were far tougher enemies and proved more than a handful to the Germans. The campaign that made me respect Manstein was Operation Mars which was launched by the Soviets after the battle of Stalingrad. Manstein inflicted heavy defeats on the Soviet Army led by Zhukov and captured hundreds of thousands of Soviet prisoners. In fact Operation Mars has been acknowledged by most historians as the only defeat of General Zhukov. Furthermore it was Manstein's army that had some success against the Soviets during operation Citadel only to be hampered by Hitler's command for the Army to withdraw from the battle. I will give it to Manstein because he fought against a tougher and more formidable opponent in the Soviets. |

Defaramade:WELL, POUND FOR POUND, GERMANY WAS BETTER AND EVERY WAR PLAYER USED THE RESOURCES AT HIS DISPOSAL. GIVE IT TO RUSSIA. MINUS THE POPULATION ADVANTAGE, THEY HAD NEGLIGIBLE TECHNOLOGY PRIOR TO THAT WAR. REMEMBER THEY LOST A SMALL WAR TO FINLAND EARLIER BUT THEY GREW FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH TO PRODUCE A ZHUKOV. MANSTEIN WAS A VETERAN OF WW1 IF I AM RIGHT AND THEY HAD THEIR PLANS TO GO TO WAR FOR A LONG TIME TO PREPARE. HITLER BETRAY STALIN SUCH THAT THEY WERE NOT EXPECTING AN ATTACK. ZHUKOV WAS A RUSSIAN SYMBOL OF THE RISE TO PROMINENCE. HE WAS HONOURED AND LED THE FIRST PARADE IN KREMLIN. CHECK. |

Wehrmahct was a highly formidable army. Germany lost the war due to Hitler's unneccesary and risky gamble that didnt payoff in the end. Bleep, why didn't he allow his "precious" Panzers swipe off the remnant of over 320thousand BEF army after successful France occupation? He waged wars at different fronts with a hand full of U-boats? Which later turnout to be one "noisy" silent acheiver! Underestimating USSR; there have been so many theories as to why german lost in USSR, of which many attributing to it's weather. Yes, but something lead to this: Hitlers arrogance, and some stupid political meaning to Stalingrad over a stragic Moscow invasion. Waging war on the U.S that has a total production 5x more than your annual output in A WEEK!. Though this was practically unavoidable. German role in WW2 made me a bigtime Hitler, Gommel, Zukhov and Heinz Guderian fan. They were all driven by passion. Hitler/Heinz masterly Blitzkrieg formation could've swept the whole of Europe, but in the end the were just men. 1 Like |

Guderian was a heck of a gentleman. The Wehrmacht had fine officers and men. Field marshal Walter model too. waxxydude: |
Re: A Thread For Nazi and WW2 History Enthusiasts by Rossikk(m): 8:21am On Apr 26, 2017 |
The main reason Germany lost was Hitler's incompetence as a military leader. He only had limited military expertise, being an ex colonel, yet he was the one directing the Germany army on important things like when to withdraw from battlefields if things got too rough etc. In almost all instances, he insisted the troops remain fighting to the last man, even against all odds, and against the advice of seasoned generals and field marshals. This led to catastrophic losses for the Germans. The battle of Stalingrad was the last straw. He grossly underestimated the Russians, and his army paid a terrible price. 1 Like |
