Yeah, I never heard of Weinwirtschaft, so I googled it. Article from Welt: "Verordnetes Saufen für Hitler und die Volksgemeinschaft" There was a wine overproduction in 1934 and the National Socialists helped the winemaker to sell the product. Housewifes get to learn how to use wine in the kitchen, bottles of wine are gifted during the wedding, they made a Festival of German wine, etc. But all this made the Vodka people of Russia and the Whiskey people of America jealous... it ended with the capitulation in Potsdam. Thats why we drink beer today!

@@user-gr8sr5ei5x That's a truly laughable statement and not true at all. At the time Pearl Harbor was bombed the US economy was still a civilian one, making refrigerators and cars for the domestic market. An economy as large as the United States takes quite a bit of time to convert from a civilian one to a military one. It took 2 years just to bring the country up to a full war economy. By 1944 war production was finally making pace with the Soviet Union and Britain and by 1945 it had surpassed it by almost double. To say that the war would have been over just two years after the invasion of Poland is sheer fantasy.

Germans were tactically superior, Allies were strategically superior. Man for man Germans were the best soldiers. They had better generals, better comradery, and the Allies in the early years were fairly incompetent. If the Allies were competent likely Germany would have been stopped in France. They would have certainly be destroyed in Russia in 1942. Russian commanders were terrible, hand strung by damned if you do damned if you don't politics, poor equipment, and poor tactics. Only late in the war did they get better organized. Their mech corps were brutal. If you look at every year of the Russian front only in 1944 did the Russians inflict more casualties than take. If you read the Battle of Kursk statistics blind without looking at the countries you think Germany would have won hands down. Their economy was terrible. In the West the leaders asked industry to produce what they needed. In the East they made the factories produce what they needed via the command economy. German economics was a mix of piece meal orders where corporations were trying to exploit as much wealth as possible yet the government could easily take control of their industry. At the start of the war they showed very little production in tanks and planes because a lot of it went to ammunition. They thought France was going to be a WW1 style campaign.

Please replace the word "Weinwirtschaft" with "Wehrwirtschaft" or even better with "Kriegswirtschaft". For a German-speaking listeners it sounds very strange 😂

right, Germany was so prepared for war that they literally had nightclubs, bars , restaurants operating up until the start of the year of 1943 . so essentially they still wanted a civilian economy when in fact the war was essentially gobbling up insane amounts of German resources . they were so prepared, that Hitler himself limited the German navy vis-a-vis the English navy ratio to 35:100 so prepared for war bro trust me,not to mention they barely achieved tolerable levels of motorization/mechanization across the entire "Heer". Hitler was way too patient and naive, and believed he could come to an understanding with the Western powers, he should have actually made deeper and wideranging preparations for a serious armed conflict. Also if you are preparing so much for war ? Why only reintroduce mandatory military service/ conscription in 1935 ? Again , too little too late, he should have tried to seriously arm and train right after ascension to power, now of course in hindsight of more than 80 years it's easier said than done. He made some good progress in actually making the Wehrmacht a good army, with belated timing, and I would say the morale and training were the most spectacular aspects of his army, rather than equipment , gear , stocks of raw materials needed for war, logistics, motorization . Underequipped , ill equipped army , nevertheless did their duty

inb4 the moralists come along to spout their holier than thou rhetoric about how their favorite bad guys are the same and thereby make their case for yet more war. Basically turning their fears, or often it sounds pretty much like their desires, into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The worst thing about ww2 isn't anything that happened during it, as horrific as all that was, but how much it's been moralized. Ww 1 isn't spoken of like that - it's viewed as a tragedy all around, with little to no moral value. That's how ww2 should also be seen. War is a terrible thing - it should never be celebrated. And certainly never hallowed. But they love feeding their moralist egos.

In few words: This Austrian painter just take an action. There was one event - Munich agreement, when Britain (not much France) sold czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had agreement with Romania and Yugoslavia. What if Czechoslovakia not surrender sudetlands? There was war plan to cut off czechia and slovakia from south from austria and from north trough olomouc. BUT it was known by general Vojtech Luza. So he prepared counter plan for (in that date) pretty antiblitzkrieg. Czechia had very mobile divisions in 1938. Many infantry use bikes, had decent tanks, Tatra produce their reliable trucks and not that bad airforce (about 20% of luftwafe). There was partial mobilizitaion around czechoslovakia country, where over 1 million well trained soldier show strenght. Ressult? Meaby second world war were never started. Due to škoda industry, huge steel production, self oil production or Romanian oil and support, mountains on border - it would be really costly for Germany. Hittler was afraid of czechoslovakia president T.G.Masaryque. He dies year before Munich agreement. AND DONT FORGET - Czechoslovakia had many elite legionaires who pass trough Russia civil war , around world back to their nation. So - everything could be different

Well, Germany was quite prepared for war (although it could be more prepared, as seen in this video). So much so that they won the initial war against France and would definitely have won against the UK. Germany wasn't, though, prepared to extend the fight to the USSR and the USA. Had the war been confined to western Europe, Germany would probably have won.

Germany had great chances but they ran past them and didn’t look back. The Africa blunder, the Britain blunder, the American blunder and not concentrating on the USSR with Japan are the obvious ones. Acting as superior to their allies is another mistake.

Josh, you opened the video with a statement about the comparative per capita of car ownership. An appropriate coda might be to highlight that blindly following a murderer is what devastated Germany. Motor vehicle ownership seems loose it's luster in that light.

After annexing the Sudeten land, Hitler probably could have also annexed the Danzig corridor without triggering a war. Danzig had been part of the German Empire, and the allies probably would have let Germany have it. After that, Hitler needed to stop being Hitler. He should have toned done the rhetoric and transferred Germany back to a peacetime economy. If, somehow, that were possible, Germany today would half again as large, populous, and wealthy as it currently is.

In 1938, Germany had everything to achieve time global dominance and to become the role model for all the nations on earth. If the fuhrer could live for his dreams, not for his fears, the war would've been avoided. If only half of their resources poured into the war economy, they could build up Germania ( Berlin 2.0) in 20 years. They had the sudetenland, the baltics, annexed both checkoslovakia and Austria. None would dare to attack Germany both long and short term. No, not even Stalin. Europe would have been dominated by soft power and clever diplomacy. That would've been lead to became THE land power by spreading influence all across Eurasia. They could've conquered Africa easily in 50 years or so. Even just by looking up all the plans the fuhrer was working on with Albert Speer left me no doubt. For example The milestones (km stones) all across the Reich would have been replaced with giant concrete statues of germanic warriors from different ages of the past with their weapons drawn. On the perimeters and all around the empire, every single fallen german soldier from the great War would've got their own statue. Millions and millions. Individuals. With names. An army of ghosts. It would've been heartwarming to see. They wanted to build a dome to the newly renamed Berlin five times the size of the Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately, his sole was taken by his demons, we know what happened. Around 1938. They just chill the f. out, I'm pretty sure we would've been talking german rn. But They just lost everything. Not just their Vatherland suffered, but their soul broke, changed them for forever. In a time when Europe is desperately need the Germans to lead the continent. Not just economically, but culturally, politically and most importantly: Militarily! Revive Prussian militarism. And of believing no nation thinks of you as nazis.
