Hitler's Mistake That Lost Germany The War

Ойын-сауық

There was plenty of mistakes on both sides during the second world war, but this was the greatest of them all that cost Hitler at most the war and at least, a few years of time.

They killed Stalin and fled to America where they became neocons because the Soviets were aligned with the Arabs against Israel, and the Democrats were going soft on the cold war so they pivoted to taking over the Republicans and purged all the true conservatives so they could mutate conservatism into a zionist + free trade & international capitalist party.

As WW2 has receded further and further from the present, fewer and fewer people seem to grasp (or have an interest) the staggering implications of what occurred in the world during the first 50 years of the 20th century. This is especially ironic in that, with the advent of the internet, historical information, while not necessarily accurate, has never been more accessible.

Many of the officers leading large units should have been platoon or company commanders. Summer 42 or even Summer 43.

    Imagine if German diplomats gave each Eastern European state a direct offer for independence and a rough vision for after the war, and imagine if they gave them more autonomy to raise their own armies etc. It would have generated much more support, and an overall goal and vision for the future should have been established early. The old saying “a soldier doesn’t fight because he hates what’s in front of him, but because he loves whats behind him” applies strongly here. Germany was seen as more of an occupying force than a liberating one, if an atmosphere of mutual cooperation was created rather than German iron fisted grip there would have been much more passionate local support.

    Good video as always. I partly agree. While this may have increased manpower and lessened the need to garrison the east, the main problem with the army was the logistics and oil. Hitler could send as many tanks and men as he wanted, however there was poor logistics to supply these men and little oil to supply those tanks. I don't really think Hitler made a crucial mistake in the war, I just think it would have been extremely hard to conquer Russia and especially the caucuses region (oil for fuel) considering the vast allied lend lease flooding into Russia. If it was purely an Axis vs Soviet war, it is most likely Russia would have collapsed. Their food supplies would have been completely distinguished by the time of the occupation of Eastern Europe and parts of Russia. Back to the topic though, I think increasing support in Eastern Europe would have helped stop communist insurgents from damaging railways logistics and military bases that would have definitely helped Hitler in his crusade against Bolshevism.

    I feel like the reason Germany lost the war may have been Lend Lease. The U.S. and Britain gave tons and tons and tons of aid to the Soviet Union, and according to Khrushchev, even Stalin thought the USSR would not be able to survive without it (Khrushchev agreed). Many Russian historians also agree with this take, but I haven't taken a look at a real statistical analysis of how much aid was sent and what kind of difference it made.

    True. '"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," [Nikita Khrushchev] wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."...

    I honestly feel that the outcome of the war (and indeed the rest of the 20th Century) was already sealed by the existence of the USA's vast industrial capability. America would have survived the 1940s unscathed no matter who won in Europe-and the major determinant of the outcome of the war would be which side the US takes.

    "The Russians, that is, the Ukrainians and the people from the Caucasus, volunteered to fight, but we were not in a position to take advantage of this. We didn't have enough weapons. In war, there is a lot that ideally should be done, but we simply couldn't do it. The Arabs also wanted weapons from us so that they could liberate themselves. And the Spanish leader Franco also wanted weapons as a condition for entering the war, but we simply didn't have enough ourselves. The German armaments program did not really get going until after the war against the Soviets was underway. We started with 3,260 tanks. That's all we had, but the Soviets had 10,000. At that time our monthly production was 35 tanks. Imagine that! It wasn't until October 1944 that we reached the high point of our production of 1,000 tanks per month. So, our monthly production of tanks went from 35 in 1941 to 1,000 in late 1944. That's quite a difference, and it's proof that we were simply not militarily prepared for a world war." - Otto Ernst Remer.

    There's a lot that goes into this answer. The simple answer is that Hitler and the Nazis believed in the concept of Lebensraum, living space. Hitler and the Nazis knew that Germany was not fully economically self sufficient, food and even oil and other materials and goods had to be imported. This is a lesson that they learned during the first world war, where the Royal Navy had totally blockaded Germany and they suffered immensely. Learning from this mistake, they knew that Germany would always be playing with a weak hand. Eastern Europe was the solution to this and the peoples that lived there were in the way. Ukraine was and still is the breadbasket of Europe and today the world. Germany today and even then imported massive amounts of oil from Russia/the Soviet Union. This was a big part of it, but there were also many racial ideologies that were quite common at the time. Anti semitism and seeing slavs as lesser were not unique to Hitler, you'll even find these sentiments were very much the norm with Americans, British and other Europeans. The non aggression pact Germany and the Soviet Union signed in 1939 was agreeing to a sphere of influence in eastern Europe but also a huge trade deal. After the invasion of Poland by Germany and later the Soviets, the French and British actually considered bombing the oil fields in the Caucasus. There's way more that goes into this. Stalin actually approached the Nazis with the idea of joining the axis, to which they actually had talks in 1940. However, Stalin made demands and showed interests that were counter to Germany's interests and Hitler knew that it would not work out between the two nations and that war was inevitable.

    There are a couple of things that really need to be mentioned in order for this video to be more complete: 1) Around 3.5 million Germans and 750.000 non-German Axis troops were involved in Operation Barbarossa, which was and remained the greatest invasion force in history. To call the logistical problems it created a nightmare would be a great understatement. While Germany had managed to become independent in terms of food due to AH's policies, ensuring that a second WW1-style British blockade would never be effective and kill millions by starvation, it's also true that resources were already strained at the start of the war, not just in terms of food, but also arms and war material. The Germans captured a staggering 5.5 million Soviet POWs; in Kiev alone they captured 700.000 Soviets, the biggest encirclement and surrender in history. It was logistically absolutely impossible to provide sustenance to even half of them, which is why many died, while others worked in camps under increasingly bad conditions, due to the bombing war putting even more strain on resources. 2) As you mentioned, Rosenberg was only one of the voices next to Hitler's ear in terms of what to do with the Soviet population, but he did not hold any real power in terms of policy. Other men found themselves leading the Reichskommissariats (Which were units of temporary military administration and NOT a plan for what to do with Soviet lands after the war as many seem to believe. The simple truth is there simple was no plan, because H, and rightly so, was 100% dedicated to winning the war itself and had stopped paying attention to even domestic German matters; making people like Martin Bormann the de facto dictator of Germany, while Hitler was the dictator of the war effort. Hitler correctly predicted that 1941 was the last year that Germany and its European allies would have any sort of material and strategic superiority over their enemies, and that if anything was to be won, it had to be won then. He was forced to end the war with the West by going through Moscow in order to secure his flank. Another fact that needs to be mentioned is that H and his staff were convinced the Soviets were primed to attack the rest of Europe. Many do not believe that Stalin was planning to attack Germany and the rest of Europe, but this belief is immaterial, the only thing that matters is what H believed at the time, and I think he was right, but that's another question altogether. 3) As the war turned for the worse Hitler did open up to the idea of using Soviet citizens in the Wehrmacht, not just as logistical personnel but also combat troops; these men were the "Hiwis" (Hilfswilliger) of the Eastern Front, and in total there were about one million of them. While the Hiwis do not represent even a drop in the ocean of Soviet manpower that could've been used for the Wehrmacht, we must always keep in mind that suddenly inflating your army with even 100.000, let alone a million or two or 5.7 million men would simply collapse your logistics. There weren't enough guns to go around, not enough ammunition and not enough food. I think H's ultimate mistake wasn't to not recruit more Soviet citizens and POWs, but that he ignored the bad treatment of the civilian population by men like Erich Koch. The Germans were welcomed as liberators by the Ukrainians and the Russians, but men like Koch absolutely destroyed this pro-Axis enthusiasm and was the catalyst that lead to so many resistance fighters making things even harder for the Wehrmacht behind the lines. If somebody like Rosenberg was in charge of the policy in occupied territories then I believe that Germany's chances would've been better.

    It's not one nation or another that was or is an enemy, no different to today. Neither Russia or the UK or the US were Germany's enemy. Germany's enemies were our enemies, the certain people who captured the control of these nations. These certain people are the small hats, their supporters and the brainwashed useful idiots. The situation is the same today. Russia has removed them, they still control the global banking system, the captured WEF, UN and other globalist organisations, they still control the US, the UK and their vassel states, much of this control today is from a certain country in the middle east that was stolen by this lot in 1948.

    I figured it was the 2 weeks of dysentery he suffered in the peak of the offensive toward Stalingrad is what turned the tide in favor of the enemy. Supposedly he was out for about 14 days and in that time his Generals completely redrew the plans and moved around troops which completely bungled the entire offensive and Hitlers own attack plans and inevitably caused the encirclement of the German army in Stalingrad which is in fact the moment when the tide turned. That's my interpretation of what went wrong, based on Irvings work. Now one could speculate that this was either an unholy stroke of bad luck, or, if one is more conspiratorial; it was on purpose to sacrifice the lives of so many in order to please the reptilians feeding off of our suffering and intense negative emotions. It has been suggested that Napoleon did the same in his Russian campaign. I don't want to believe it, but I honestly don't see it as an impossibility. Who knows, really.

Spain didn't have the army nor the industry to help Germany in the war. Also spain joining the Axis will probably trigger Portugal to join the Allies (Portugal have huge ties with UK). Germany would have to invade Portugal because Spain won't be able to fight them alone and Germany can't let the Allies a bridge head in Europe. Invading Portugal won't be easy because of the terrains (Mostly hills and mountains) and while lot impossible it will divert troops and supplies much needed for the Eastern Front so even if they conquer Portugal Germany will most likely lost ground in the Soviet Union. In the case Spain join the Axis Gibraltar will most likely fell but it won't really change anything because most supplies where going around Africa to avoid the italian navy. Add to this all the coast line and territory Germany would have to protect against allies landing and partisans now supplied by the Allies and you are stretching Germany even more thin.

He robbed our country, did absolutely nothing to stop genocide of Serbians in Croatia by his puppet state NDH (almost 1 million killed in massacres and concentration camps, especially Jasenovac). And only Eastern Europeans had such treatment (Especially Poles, Serbs, Belorussians and Russians), Westerners were treated like royalty compared with us. As a reaction 2 resistance movements were created, communist Partisans and royalist Četniks, they hated each other but they hated German occupier even more. Nazis got what they deserved in the end.

    There are 2 very important things to note when it comes to this but also policy in general. No state first of all truly has one vision as no state has truly ever had one authoritive person that had support from the entire system for his exact vision. What i mean by this is that even an authoritarian regime like the third reich still has many other powerful men besides AH that have their own ideas and put them forth. Your example of the netherlands is a good one as some in germany wanted a germanic reich where all peoples descending from the proto germanics would unite into a single reich. This vision was also shared by various politicians of other non german nations. Im dutch myself and you made the example of mussert. His party the NSB basically had 2 major factions. The pro Diets (low countries nationalism basically, they wanted their own place as Dietsland in a future german led europe) and the ones that wanted to become part of a great germanic reich. Mussert was a pro diets one. He was the leader of the movement and therefore not trusted as much by the germans because at the end of the day he cared more about dietsland then what would happen to germany even if he was a big fan of the new germany. So just like in my country you obviously have the exact same situation in the east. There indeed wasn't a clear policy. Many plans and ideas have floated around but none had offically been adapted. But there is also a danger in massively arming your former enemies. The chances of infiltration if Rosenberg indeed got his wish would've been great. The dangers very large.that being said lots of russians still did fight for germany. Hundreds of thousands were involved militarily in some capactity be that in combat roles or non combat roles and millions were still sympathic or collaborated with the axis forces. But actually arming them on mass and organising that well while minimising the risk of them turning on you is an almost impossible task even if germany would've gone full in on the liberation mode. War is a tricky thing between nations. You can see this very well in the ns scene in ukraine and russia today. Most oppose having to fight their brothers. But many still do even though both governments don't represent their ideals. Some because they dont want to see their country become smaller, some pan slavics might support russia because it gets them closer to their vision even though they dont support the current leadership, some are fully anti war and refuse to participate in a brother war. Some russians decide to fight for ukraine. Just look at the russian volunteer corps which is filled with russian ns and thrid positionists that support ukraine because russia is the aggressor of the brother war. It's all over the place. Same would go for this scenarion in ww2. Lots of russian anti communist nationalists would still feel salty over germany being at war with "their people" while others would rejoice. The sheer vastness of the soviet union woud make it impossible to truly effectively run such a massive volunteer effort without the many previously mentioned risks.

    Honestly, I think Germany should've just told the former Soviet states that they'd be taking a whole swathe of agricultural lands previously operated as "collective farms" to be settled by German veterans similar to the Junkers' plans for the proposed "United Baltic Dutchy" and some other industrial and raw resource concessions as the conquers BUT, that the Slavs would retain cultural, economic, and political autonomy over their cities and privately owned farms with the caveat that Germans assume military command to deter any possible Soviet resurgence as well as handling foreign policy for both Slavic and Germanic protection. Essentially, the Germans should've said, *_"You can be starving slaves under Stalin _**_-OR-_**_ well-fed and protected serfs under Germany as semi-autonomous protectorates. With Stalin, you've no future but, at least with us, you can have families, live fulfilling lives, and worship in peace under the governance of your own blood and NEVER be conscripted again. Neither future is perfect but, at least under us, you'll be able to live as yourselves."_* In the end, if they'd done that, they'd still be in power and the former Soviets who'd fought with them would have no grand expectations to be quashed and made frustrations. Honesty is generally the best policy.

    I still maintain that the biggest mistake was made in 1933. The new NSDAP government should have set up a state-business credit bank and a state fuels company. With a billion-mark, long-term, low-interest, payment-deferred loan, Germany should have invested heavily in Romanian oil. Germany should have renovated equipment, set up new refineries, built new pipelines, drilled new wells, and put thousands of underground storage tanks for refined products in the countryside, deeply in the interior of Germany. Germany should have either nationalized or directed the private rail corporation to build all-new rail corridors through both Austria and Czechoslovakia in case one or the other blocked passage. (What country wouldn't want its trade corridors renovated for free?) Romanian oil production had been dropping. By 1940, it was half the amount of the early '20s. Romanian production reached its peak in the 1970s, so tests in the 1930s must have shown the ability to pump far more. Germany could have always made a deal with Romania to trade its big investment share for oil, and to put most of the new refineries in Romania. That way, Romania would gradually buy out the German share, and would have modern refineries to process Middle East oil once its own fields gave out. With ample fuel, Germany could have built far more war vehicles, and could have used them far more in a modern mechanized war of mobility. Oh, almost forgot. Give Romania plenty of modern anti-aircraft artillery and interceptor planes, and train its military to use them.

    The modern lesson from this is that if the West wants to defeat communism, they need to rapproche with Rxssia and identify as the Global North rather than the West. Rxssia is the key to cxntxxnxng Chxna, who has only ever been conquered by weaker asymmetrical fxrces from the north by land (whereas by sea, overwhelming technological advantages from the Japanese and Europeans were needed, which will never return with current trends). The neocons keep acting like they can somehow contain Rxssia and Chxna both at the same time, and/or that they have some kind of influence or control over Chxna (looks more like the opposite), or that (pro-Rxssia, anti-Chxna) India is all they need to cxntxxn China even when they keep waging wxr against India's favorite Global North country of Rxssia and India drifts further and further from the West into some sort of confused middleman position the more the neocons dig into their completely failed, pro-communist strategy that has given Chxna immense leverage over and access to almost every critical thing they need out of Rxssia which we just handed to them on a silver platter with this pointless wxr.

    This is something I think a lot of people are coming to the conclusion of and it's great that you've put it out there like this, really well done. I think that today, we really take for granted this idea of a European Commonality, a single European civilization and vision for the future. Germany proved those ideas concreted Correct during the second world war and honestly laid the groundwork for the Integration of Europe into the EU today. The vision of the Holy Roman Empire under Charlesmagne, Otto the Great and Charles V, of the Napoleonic Empire, of the Kaiserreich's Mittleuropa, the New Order of the Axis and finally the European Union; of Dominant Leaders who ruled over not just Germany but held the power of direction over all of Europe for the purpose of a common Spiritual-Cultural-Civilization struggle - this was something that only the German Regime during WWII was able to achieve in harsh, necessary practice with the Political, Economic and Military Integration of Europe for the conflict against the USSR. No such conflict had ever involved LITERALLY all of Fully developed Europe in history, including hundreds of thousands if not millions of the citizens of the primary Antagonist to that Common European Civilization. That was achieved, mobilized and rhetorically embedded into the minds of Western Europeans within the span of less than 3 years during wartime occupation. I'd assess that as Remarkable, given the records of the Walloons, Nords, Spaniards etc. For Eastern Europeans, even during the 2 years of occupation there was significant success in the construction of collaborative relationships (albeit not at all counting Poland, which was in a different situation to the Soviet populations). Most of the Soviet population really only became aware of the ideologues of the Nazi party's and apparatuses plans for them when the Soviets returned with exaggerated, exploited propaganda, murderous intentions towards the collaborators who knew better and commitment to repress any information to the contrary. Most partisans, like the Black and Green armies of the Civil War, were just bandits who had been personally wronged in some way by the war, were in the perfect terrain for hit and run guerilla lifestyles, were tying to survive during a brutal war, and were politically and financially rewarded for claiming a faux-ideological mission to their contributions to Civilian deaths by starvation and crime - we saw the same thing in China, yet we don't consider the deaths caused by Warlordism in China the same as we do the civilian casualties of the Eastern front in WWII. Anyone can look into the history of Banditry; from the Russian Civil War, to China, to the Mexican Revolution to the distant past - Like with Nomadic societies, Civilians most often travel with their Bandits in large Bands (Hence, Band-it - an armed member of the Band) and unfortunately suffer their same fate very often. And as we know from history, these Bandits can bring down entire Empires. The fact that these bandits were literally finances and in some cases obligated to organize under Political Commissars, make this all the more dangerous. Most of the mobilized military manpower from the German occupation of Soviet territory was therefore employed first in putting down the menace of the bandits (Hence why Anti-Partisan mission were called Banditkrieg, it was far from a euphemism) and in the reconstruction of infrastructure necessary for transport and resource extraction - the men who would become soldiers in 1943-44 were likely Laborers first in their occupied territory from 41-43. While the population hated the Soviet Union, there was still an interior Social war being fought within occupied societies with those who didn't - who harbored resentment towards Nationalism or religion, or who were simply indoctrinated and comfortable within their Soviet brainwashing. Many believed the Germans would lose the War and this was their reason. In any case, it took time for the German occupiers to prove themselves to the population - and the judgement of their success can be seen in how cooperation improved year to year even up to the Soviet's return in 1943-44. The fact that the Partisan situation and Infrastructure situation was relatively stabilized in time for Fall Blau in 1942 (The German push towards the Caucasus), it's aftermath in 1943 in withdrawing Army Group South from the Caucasus and mobilization as a fighting force capable of slowing down the Soviets after July, 1944 is a testament to the importance of that manpower usage in Non-combat roles prior to mobilization for combat. While it might seen entirely possible to have utilized the Post-Soviet peoples more by the Axis, the ingredient of Time was always going to be their Fatal Deficiency in achieving that, as well as so much else. Such is what happens to a coalition which builds power so quickly and which has such permanently expansive dreams. See also: Caesar, Charles V and Napoleon. Thanks for the video, mate.

    This mistake makes even a person sceptical of today's narrative about WWII think that all that story about Hitler thinking of Slavs and Russians in particular as inferior to Germans, being subhumans basically, is true. Hitler didn't like at all the idea of giving the Russians their independent state. He thought the same about Ukranians and that's why he sent to concentration camps Ukrainian nationalists, like Stepan Bandera. In your newer video, you said that Germans simply didn't have enough people to settle across all of western Russia. And that might be true but only for a short period. I'm sure that gradually, over decades, Germans would push Russians more and more away to the east, taking their space as Americans did this to the natives. This leads me to the conclusion, that even thou I'm a Russian anti-communist and I hate Lenin and Stalin with all my heart, they are still a lesser evil than Hitler for my people.

Under Stalin, USSR turned away from international revolution and toward building socialism in one State. Making peace in the West and building trust with the USSR was a wiser course than Hitler's.

Moscow was to be completely flooded, as it was seen as a place of filth and decadency of which Bolshevism rose from.

    @@oglocbaby520 I agree with you, a decent portion of eastern Europeans were said to be fit for aryanization too. The problem is that Germans always came first, and the most sensible people who could carry out this plan effectively were overruled by the SS. Any good thing the regular German army and its officials did was canceled out twice by all the crap the SS did. No man can see his wife and daughter r*ped and his son killed or forced into slavery and fight for the side that did this. Make no mistake, the SS and late-stage Nazism kept soviet communism alive for another 50 years. Germans are a highly idealistic and pragmatic people, which made their inability to form a coherent anti-Russian coalition highly surprising and demonstrates how intuitively anti-German late-term Naz*sm was in reality. Had Hitler and the SS kept their hands off when it came time to assimilate the Eastern Europeans and focused on carving out a homeland for the rural Polish Jews in Palestine, the high likelihood is that the vast majority of Eastern Europe, including the Baltic states, Ukraine, and Romania would have all come under solid Axis control that the Russians could not contend with. There have been countless genocides throughout history, and while some of them may have been understandable, it doesn’t make any of them right. Hitler correctly noticed urban bourgeoisie atheistic communistic J*ws screwing up German society by tampering with the culture, but that cannot excuse the rounding up of millions of J*ws in rural Poland who did nothing to earn Hitler’s wrath but just exist. Had he pulled a French revolution and executed any communists who dabbled with decadent, nihilistic crap like most of the urban elite were doing at the time (lol 1920s Berlin), he might have solved the “J*wish problem” without having to build a single camp. Personally, I would like to equate the lead up to WW2 with the French Revolution and the fallout that happened with it. For example, the French Revolution started out right, correctly identifying that the decadent French elite and high-level clergy were destroying the country. Then they went too far and hurt the normal French peasants, who were happy with their priests. Then Napoleon took over full control of the country (Nazis in the late 1930s), which earned the ire of the rest of Europe. From there, it was inevitable that failure would result. My take is that Germany could have easily won WW2 had they stopped at expanding past Poland (the phony war period) and focused their resources solely on Russia (who was not in a treaty with Britain or France at the time) and united the Eastern European provinces, gaining valuable allies and a consistent source of oil. Hitler’s decision to create a 2-front war and then torture his potential allies was what caused the Germans to lose WW2. Personally, I think that Hitler knew that deep down, the Baltic and Non-Jewish Ukrainians could never be truly Aryanized through the SS. So, he could not care less about them and viewed them as subhuman. Who knows what would have happened if Hitler was not as radical as he was during the chancellorship? I think a venereal disease and the fear of assassination on top of the early German victories clouded his rational mind.
