The defeat of Germany in World War II was mainly the result of poor decisions by Hitler, which dramatically weakened the Axis to incomparable measures. He ignored the advice of Generals and Officers who had the experience and knowledge to lead the German warfare successfully.

I've categorised everything for you into the most important events. I've provided the information by MYSELF (believe it or not), so please take the time to read it. Thanks.



--------------------------Problems in Russia--------------------

1. Operation Barbarossa was launched on June 22, 1941 with the aim of invading Soviet Russia. The relationship between the Russian Communist Dictator, Joseph Stalin and the Socialist Kraut, Adolf Hitler, was reasonably suffice. Both nations had previously agreed to being neutral parties during the war. In fact, Russia itself decided to help Germany annex Poland in 1939, and continued by attacking Finland. Either way, Hitler's plan for occupying the Soviet Union was unnecessary, exposing him to conflict on the Eastern Front. It's very likely that Hitler's hate for Marxism was one piece of justification for the actions which would follow.

2. Additionally, the regular army in conjunction with the SS, were not adequately equipped for the freezing, demoralizing winter weather. The temperature reached minus 46 degrees, and German infantry lacked quality uniforms to keep them warm. Thousands died from the climate alone.


3. The Fuhrer ordered German military to move south towards Stalingrad, in an attempt to claim oil-rich fields. The city of Lenin was besieged for 600 days to suppress the Kremlin. But the capital Moscow, was the significant aspect because it was a centre for communication and distribution. Railway systems ran through Moscow which supplied the Soviets with war goods, soldiers and machinery parts. If these methods of transport were cut off, no assistance could be given to the Russian defensive. Soon enough, the Soviet Union pushed the Nazi's back across the border in a 1941 counter-assault. Consequently, the SS became isolated and didn't receive help easily - reinforcements were blocked off and fortifications erected.

4. The Battle of Kursk. This confrontation was the deciding factor in German advance or decline. The Russians, under command of Zhukov, had overwhelming superiority in numbers, but limited technology. The Kremlin T-34 tanks were poorly manufactured, slow and badly armoured. However, this classic fight demonstrated the Soviet Union authority and their ability to beat the SS.


----------------------Problems in North Africa-------------------

1. Italy originally had a strong presence in North Africa with Field Marshall Rodolpho Graziani and his 200,000 men. The goal was to over-take small British colonies like Somaliland and Kenya, to build an empire in the East. That objective failed miserably. The British commonwealth capitalized, despite being outnumbered by 140,000 soldiers. So, the Nazi Field Marshall Erwin Rommel was deployed in Libya to manage the issues. Hitler only decided to give him ONE armoured division and ONE unarmoured battalion of "Afrika Korps", who were desert specialists. That was a BIG MISTAKE because Germany had no manpower at all. North Africa was ESSENTIAL to Hitler's success.

The primary mission was to capture the Suez Canal, which was the United Kingdom's lifeline. England relied on the importation of raw materials for war production, but also food, infantry and vehicles to secure themselves. Most of these supplies came from their great empire in the pacific and South-East Asia.
If Rommel could cut the canal, then Britain's deliveries would become seriously delayed. BUT because Hitler was ignorant and under-supplied the "Afrika Korps", there was no possibility of winning in Egypt. It wasn't only this, Adolf also under-estimated the master British tactician Montgomery. Montgomery's 8th army was triumphant in Operation Torch, liberating North Africa with Allied influence. Later in 1943, Sicily would become an Allied possession, and by 1945, Rome was as well.

--------------Problems at the Battle of Britain----------
1. Initially, there were no issues with the "Battle of Britain". Hitler's co-ordinated bomb raids on harbours, airfields and production warehouses was the correct move. The Luftwaffe, an experienced collection of pilots, were doing a great job in hitting England hard where it hurt. The Messershmidt fighter-plane and Stuka bombers constituted most of the German air force, but the British fighter-plane, the spit-fire had more speed, better maneuverability and excellent firepower. These aircraft dominated the "Battle of Britain" and were instrumental in protecting the United Kingdom.


-----------------D-Day and the Closing of Berlin----------------

1. From 1943, Germany was retreating and losing World War II. D-Day on June 1944, was the gamble that paid off - the Allies brushed ashore 5 beaches. The Omaha, Utah,Gold, Juno and Sword coastlines were boarded in a desperate effort for survival. With the Soviet Union marching to Berlin, American, Canadian, English and Australian regiments swore to end the crisis earlier. The victory at the "Battles of Normandy" opened a wide gate to the heart of Germany. The path was clear now, and with both Russia and other Western guidance, the decline of the Third Reich was inevitable. By mid 1945, Hitler commited suicide in a bunker with his wife, Eva Braun. The Allies were reportedly only 800 metres away from apprehending him. In the coming months, Nazi surrender was imminent.

Hitler was just too proud and powerful for his own good after Germany had won several battles up till 1943.

The man who wrote the book "The Satanic Verses" (refering to the holy Quran) still walks free after 20 years of having a $1M fatwa ransome on his head.
Nothing will happen to this man.
Just a guess though.

are the students eligible to sue the govt. On a change of institution name?

In his church prophet TB Joshua recounted how he prophesied the plane crash which occured yesterday 3rd of June in lagos.
He showed the a page 47 of Tribune News Paper 24th of February 2012 edition where his prophesy was published.
'i personally asked the editor to publish it so that people will pray against it'
'even when that helicopter wanted to crash, i told you here.'
he also replayed the video of how he prophesied ADC plane crash mentioning the exact date and purposefully twisted the name in the prophesy by saying 'am seeing ABC but B missed, this is a parable, a carnal man cant understand this.They should check their plane. Pray on october 29th.'
he also specified that there are 2 types of prophets. Those who tell you what you want to hear and those who recieve direct and specific messages from God.
He is still saying this now in his church and on live broadcast.
'am saying this because i recieved many emails asking me why i didn't see our plane crash when i saw the death of their president. Calling me a false prophet.'

al-ahamad:


Spoken like a true mumu cow....GEJ might have been a lecturer (though brainless) but his actions nd reactions at everything concerning naija can't even pass him as a primary sat holder.....sometimes I wonder if he's really a Nigerian.

@poster....keep the pictures coming please...if we can't find good news about naija, at least let's crack up at the hillarious posts....

He has also published many scholarly articles and Journals. Neither GEJ nor Abiola is @OP's mate.
Results keep talking for GEJ. Calling him 'brainless' is just a baseless test of your prowess in english language.

GEJ is truly a great man, irrespective of his falls.

Just like every other gay.Its a matter of time before they bomb themselves out.
They should have accepted amnesty and be living large abroad by now.

See a young man who isn't even sure of his first Degree
Challenging a double Phd holder. GEJ was a lecturer when this dude was in kindergarten.

GEJ has been the deputy governor, the governor and now the president, not this guy's mate.

People should know how to protest.
