K^se
Even i would really love to go into depth of this topic, but I just don't want to So I'll just list some flaws in your comments.
1) Attacking Russia in 1941 after they signed the 1939 Military pact, and BTW (Stalin hated Hitler, but he would not attacked Germany because Russia was too weak, but they had at least Ummm 13 million troops I believe)Hitler basically diverted well over 3 million troops of his (5 million Troops) to the Eastern front, only having 1.8 million troops at France most of them at Pais De Calle, the initial D-Day Invasion zone..
Hitler controlled Western Europe, Central Europe, Scandinavia and most of Eastern Europe. After witnessing its continental allies fall one by one, England was fighting for mere survival, never mind taking the fight to the enemy. This left Germany with only two major threats, the United States and the Soviet Union. The former was neutral and wanted nothing to do with what it saw as a purely European conflict, but the latter was just across the border and fielded the biggest army in the world. it is obvious that Russia was not only the greatest threat to Nazi Germany, but also the last major obstacle to German domination of Europe.the only reason Stalin never attacked Germany was because of the pathetic state of the Red Army at the time. some historians have alleged that Stalin was bent on attacking Germany during the summer of 1941 and insists this is why so much of the Red Army was massed near the border during the time of the German invasion. Either way, given certain strategic, economic and ideological considerations, there is little doubt that war between the two powers was inevitable.The German industry was showing signs of strain and running low on precious resources, especially oil. Though Germany was getting substantial oil from Russia and the Ploesti Oilfields in Romania, it was not enough.
Given her lack of oil, and the potential threat of fighting on two fronts, Germany had to make a choice of whether to finish off England, or attack the Russia. This left the Germans with two strategic options:
1)To overrun Egypt, the Suez Canal and finally the Oil Rich countries of the Middle East.
2)An all-out attack on Russia.
Both options offered a solution to the oil problem
Between, Russia and Britain, there can be no doubt that the Russians were the bigger threat to Germany. The Russian army alone had the manpower and resources to challenge the German army. Even if Britain was backed by a powerful American army she would have little chance of defeating Germany.
It is a sound strategic principle that when it comes to war, the strongest enemy should be dealt with first.
2) Letting go well over 380,000 allied troops at the Surrender at Port Dunkirk, believing his fellow Anglo Saxon brothers will join the Reich..
The evacuation from Dunkirk was made possible by a combination of German mistakes and brave decisions made by Lord Gort, the commander of the BEF. The whole purpose of the German “sickle cut” strategy in 1940 was to cut the Allied armies in half by breaking through the French lines in the Ardennes and then dashing for the Somme estuary. The Germans expected the Allies to help them by advancing into Belgium at the start of their offensive, exposing more Allied troops to capture but the plan failed.
One of the most controversial aspects of the fighting around Dunkirk was the Hitler’s “halt order”, issued on 24 May 1941. After the war the surviving German generals did their best to shift the blame for this order on to Hitler. Even Rundstedt, on whose advice the order had been issued, would later claim that it had been Hitler’s idea, and that the intention had been to spare the British a humiliating defeat. Hitler was known to have expressed some admiration for the British Empire, and to have said that he wanted to arrange a division of the world with the British, but his pre-war admiration for Britain seems to have evaporated rather quickly once the war began.
3) Taking the British too lightly and not actually going through with the invasion of Britain..
Again It is a sound strategic principle that when it comes to war, the strongest enemy should be dealt with first.
4) Not having any of his troops in Italy, *where Italians can't fight* lol, because the Allied forces from the U.S
, came through North African, through Sicily and than Italy where German couldn't divert any of their forces to Italy because they were to bent on losing the Eastern Front and focusing where will the Allies invade France from..
two-front war
5) he took some sleeping medications, that made him sleep through the whole day so none of his high-ranking officers wanted to bother him..
that is true
-So If a couple of these main points did not happen, we would be speaking German right now.. Well most people in Europe/Middle East/Asia...
True
