      When people complain about German offensives lacking fuel, they tend to act as if Germany *could* get more fuel, when in reality, they *couldn’t.*
      It wasn’t an oversight, it was Germany facing the harsh realities of the war.
      Germany’s only decent source of oil was Romania, and even that was small compared to Texas or Baku.

    In a way, Barbarossa was analogous to Lee's attempt to circle Washington DC and force a negotiated end to the War Between the States. In both cases rapid maneuver and audacity attempted a quick win against a larger enemy with more manpower and natural resources.
    A big difference though was that Lee knew that eventual victory was not possible after being stopped at Gettysburg; Hitler thought that being stopped in Russia was just a speed bump.

      Lee lost because he wrapped his master plan around a cigar and he either dropped it or it fell out of his pocket. A union soldier found the cigar thinking it was his lucky day only to find Lee's master plan, showed it to his superior, and from their it went to Grant, the other generals, and Lincoln which allowed them to counteract his maneuver. It was a stroke of luck.

    They also had wounded soldiers coming back from the Russian Front and they were telling people, "It's just a matter of time."

    The Allies won the war not by luck. It wasn't simply a near escape, as some historians might try to argue. The Axis Powers took on a task that was too big for them and were incapable of knocking out key powers because they were very likely completely out of reach and capable of withstanding initial blows. The Allies adapted, regrouped, mobilized, and were able to wear out their overstretched, under-resourced opponents through attrition and economic, technological, and military superiority.

    • @Mcbignuts
      @Mcbignuts Před 11 měsíci

      Allied victory was purely a matter of larger natural resources, endless industrial production and the german shortcomings in these areas, particularly fuel and navy
      Germany was choked by an economic sea blockade, was unable to fight the British on the water, forcing them to resort to u boat tactics, had too little oil and Hitler had failed to clear house following him taking power
      It's unbelievable how many ppl within the german high command were sabotaging hitler's orders
      The Germans could have inflicted 10 Dunkirks and 10 more Kiev encirclements, but allied material quantity was simply too much to overcome

    One thing I have always found interesting is the evolution of German propaganda during the war. There is a noticeable difference between the sunny, bright pre-war and early-war propaganda and the propaganda from 1943-1945. The art style and themes become noticeably darker. You can almost feel the desperation and anxiety when you look at it.

      Just like a company, or a corporation, quality varies with situation. Your experience may vary. Some of it is quite good, some of it not good. Depends on development cycles, investment, and the competence of the particular people involved. Garand rifle, m-1 tank are good, M-14 rifle and Sheridan tank not good. Littoral combat ship bad, Fletcher destroyer good. And maintenance, if the prior users had abused the equipment. In general, competence and adequate resources are not always available, sometimes it is.

      @@hungrymusicwolf not all his opponents. The Western ones were treated on an equal footing. The problem in his mind were the slavs, jews and the plethora of other undesirables. People keep throwing "he wanted to kill all people" and similar silly statements but the minds of people like stalin, hitler, churchill were complicated. These monsters cared for their own and even that, as entities, as a whole. Not on an individual level.

      if he wanted to punish the world why didnt he release the nerve gas stockpiles on allied countries and soldiers? Just one plane would be enough to wreck a large area of people. Retaliation? but didnt he want to punish the world, starting with his own?

      @@msreviews5576 well that would require quite a lot of coordination, its not just as simple as unleashing gas back then, in terms of not wanting to kill all people maybe if they were blonde, blue eyed, and white then yeah but anything else will then be used as potential slaves to the factory or execution, african americans and some french Senegalese troops were not given the merciful feeling of surrender and were shot on sight without remorse
