World War II was a deadly conflict, it killed millions of soldiers and innocent civilians. It was a war that had to be won at all costs. Some of the tactics employed are unthinkable in this modern day but they were what needed to be done in order for the allies to come out victorious over the axis.

1. Countless Human Sacrifice in the Front Lines: The Soviet's red army lost more than 10 million men in the eastern front. It was the necessary cost of stopping Hitler's troops march to Moscow with powerful weapons like the German machine guns and the Panzer tank. Endless ground troops were sent to face the advanced German weaponry. They were basically marched into a slaughter.

2. City Infernoes: A number of cities were completely set ablaze with air raids and fire fights when they were contended by opposing troops. Including Italian cities, the German city of Harmburg and the Russian cities of Kursk and Stalingrad. Thousands of civilians burnt in the blazes.

In modern day, Unless for military and communication targets, Cities are not indiscriminately targeted in warfare.

3. Poor Working Conditions in Weapons Assembly Lines: In the assembly lines of war hardwares in the US, workers worked very long hours in order to out manufacture and out supply the Germans in weaponry to the front lines. When the workers tried to unionize and strike, President Roosevelt threatened to enlist them in the army unless they returned to work.

4. The cost to animal rights: I'm not sure if there's an existing estimate on the number of horses killed during the war in Europe. The Soviet used specially trained dogs to deliver IEDs on a suicide mission to moving German vehicles.

5. Use of the Atomic Bomb: The US used the atomic bomb, twice, in order to take Japan out of the war. Atomic warfare is unthinkable today as it may lead to a full blown Global destruction.

The World today has many rules to conventional warfare that classify so many things as war crimes including the use of chemical or biological weapons. In the day of politically strong workers unions, PETA and the Hague, can desperate wars be won?

At the peak of the war in 1942, the German GDP almost equaled that of the US. All these was as a result of the programs pur in place by the German minister of the economy, Albert Speer.
I wish Nigeria has someone like him to mechanize our economy within four years and put it on war footing

Thanks brother!
I think Biafra should copy the Nazi economic model bkos apart from Germany,I've not seen a nation devastated by war rising from the ashes to fight a more dealier war within two decades.. And it simply attests to the superiority of Nazi economic model as promulgated by Speer under the leadership of Hitler

We need to do more research on his economic belief and those of post WW2 German economic planners.

Biafrans, take note.

The world collectively formed laws to guide mordern warfar, when the collectively go against on another, their laws will give way.
