How 1 Mistake Cost Hitler Victory During World War II

[aziqbal]

had Hitler listened to his generals he would have probably won

during the battle of Britain when the RAF was on the verge of collapse the Germans stopped bombing the airfields and factories and switched to the cities, allowing the RAF to re-group and rebuild

later in 1940 the plans for invasion of mainland UK was put off due to the Luftwaffe not being able to guarantee air superiority because RAF had rebuilt

had the Germans not planned on taking Russia and focused on only UK they probably would have taken the UK

then no Americans could have supplied any convoys, instead without closing the rear door hitler turned his back on the UK and started to attack Russia, off course we know how that ended

when UK became strong again Hitler faced his worst nightwear, a two front war

Germans were stupid to switch from bombing airfields and infanstructure to cities.

If the Germans lost ww2 there is actually many good reasons for it. In ww1 they also done wreckless or careless mistakes that costed then victory and in ww2 they do the same wreckless crap. Then people wonder why they lost.

Germans have all but themselves to blame for losing ww2.

One mistake cost Hitler victory in WW2 - he have started WW2.

Germans started two world wars in my opinion.

Germans basically gave the green light for Austria-Hungary to invade Serbia. Germans constantly downplay their involvement in starting two world wars.

Germany never downplayed its rule...

For ww1 all european Empires were guilty not only Germany...

ww2 started long befor German invasion of Poland...

Japan attacked China (1937) during that time Germany supported China...
First ww2 masacre (end of 1937) were done by Japanese Army in China longe befor German invason of Poland
Japan attacked USSR (1938)
With Japan USSR and China in 1938 a large part of the world population was already at war...

Italy attacked Ethiopia (1935)
Spanish Cilvil war (Spain + USSR + Mexico + France vs Spain + Italy + Germany +Portugal) (1936-39)
Germany and USSR attacked Poland (1939) people tend to forget at what side USSR started the war
USSR attacked Finnland (1939-40 the Winterwar) also people tend to forget that after the invasion of Poland the USSR continued the war in Europe.

and Germany is the only one guilty for ww2...yes sure winner write history

I dont take away any guilty of Germany... but ww2 started not with, compared to Japanese invasion of China, the small German invasion of Poland.

Not to forget that Poland wasn´t a innocent victim only a vew years earlyer was the soviet polnish war were both side fought for territory after the end of ww1

Adolf made blunder after blunder in Russia

 

[Super Falcon]

He should have delayed fighting soviets after taking care of UK completely he should have fought soviets wrong timing cost him a war he made too many enemies in small time

Poland participated alongside with Nazi in dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in 1938 after Western powers make Czechoslovakia a gift to Hitler. And Czechoslovakia was probably as industrialised as Germany itself. So Western powers made Hitler much, much stronger. At the same time, Westerners rejected all USSR efforts to make anti-Nazi alliance.

as I said there is not one guilty for everything... Germany did not force Japan to attack China and USSR...they did not force Italy to attack Ethiopia ...they did not force the spanish civil war...they used it as test ground like USSR Italy and France..they did not force Poland to attack USSR

Hundreds of thousands of Turks , particularly the Tatars supported Germany against the Soviet occupation. For this reason, Stalin introduced genocide and forced exile policy against the Turks. Although the Crimean region is a Turkish homeland, that is why the Turks are now a small minority.

Yes I red about that a while ago. It's surprising that many people don't even know about Stalin's crimes. Seems he was even more of a bloody tyrant than Hitler.

I am agree. But you missed the role of France and Britain - it was their sole decision to please all Hitlers demands and to reject all USSR efforts in making anti-Nazi alliance. Hitler would not attack European countries if there were Russo-British-French alliance in 1938. He would probably made some minor colonial wars in Africa and Asia and that is all.

You summed it all very well. I was also about to say something similar.

indeed that was also a reason that moved the world into ww2.. the problem everyone mistrusted all other ...the capitalist could not allied with the communists...that made room for the nationalists...and a scarry monster from Austria

but to sum up the question...

Hitler could have never won ww2... not with the plans he had in mind.

simple fact the moment US industrial power kicked into the game, the game was over for Hitler.
USA outproduced all Allied and Axis nation together. 1:1 Germany could beat every nation in Europe... but not a allied force back up by the biggest industrial muscle of that time

RIP history!!!

How could Soviet intervention have "spooked" Hitler when Germany and USSR had just signed Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact a month before USSR intervention in Poland.

Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact divided the whole of eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence. Poland east of the line formed by the Narew, Vistula, and San rivers would fall under the Soviet sphere of influence. The protocol also assigned Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland to the Soviet sphere of influence.

Red army took the territory which was guaranteed to them by Germany.

Bro,

Nazi regime feared that German intervention in Poland will fail if USSR came to its aid (consensus within Germany) so Adolph Hitler decided to have a non-aggression pact (i.e. Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) with USSR beforehand.

That is a little exaggeration about US economy. Here what it looked like. Europe under Hitler was as powerful as US.

So if he won USSR in 1941 - he could easily defeat USA. Imagine that millions of best Nazi soldiers did no die under Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and so on. I doubt USA have chances against them in Europe, moreover - if Germany had Soviet resources.
