If Hitler would not have been so obsessed with slaughtering the Jews, could Germany have won the war?

Answer 1

Difficult to say. The war would have lasted longer because the brain drain would have been less. One example : Einstein would probably have stayed in Germany (A-bomb !) and there are lots of other important scientist that left Germany or were killed.

Answer 2

The fact that Germany lost the war has little to do with his obsession with the Jews. Relatively little resources were used for this purpose. Even if the Jews themselves were behind the war effort and the resources used for their suppression were added to the war effort, the result would have been a slightly longer war at best. Besides, racial hatred and the belief that Germans were the master race was an effective tool in motivating the German people into what was certainly a war of aggression on their part.

Answer 3

I've seen a few documentaries about Hitler on the History Channel and History International recently. According to what I watched, Hitler's decision making abilities were really impaired because of all the drugs his doctor was giving him. This cost Germany some key battles on both fronts. I don't know if Germany would have won, but they might have drawn out the war longer had Hitler been better able to make command decisions.

Answer 4

I doubt it very seriously. Had he thought of the Jews as we do,just people like the rest of us, he would have had that many more to work and fight for Germany, but the result would have been the same. The war would have lasted longer, naturally, but in the end Germany would be defeated just the same.
Hitler counted on a blitz war. It didn't happen. He ran out of food, supplies of all kinds, and the spirit to fight.

Answer 5

No
He was a faulty leader, that had really good men. Ultimate power ruins any leader or country.

The German "Nazi" movement was incredible, the failing was the killing or the "lesser humans" to purify gene pool to make the perfect German. The national movement was breathtaking to behold. Its sad they didn't leave a better "mark ON history".


Which Ironically- Hitler would not have been counted as one of those pure Germans! He also had syphilis and was going insane. See- lead by the wrong head will get ya dead!

Answer 6

if hitler wouldnt have declared war on the united states he would have been in power a whole lot longer thats for sure. He had already defeated france and russia but he wanted to rule the world.

Answer 7

i doubt it, his military blunders at dunkirks, stopping the bombing of RAF radar/airfields at the heigth of the Battle of Britain, diverting his panzers before the gates of Moscow in 1941, the blunder at Stalingrad, withholding panzers prior to initial Normandy landings, and committing his las tactical reserves at Kursk (the list goes on) all spelled doom and defeat for the vaunted Wehrmact

Answer 8

No;
A lot of his trouble was he wanted to control everything, he would not take advice from his Generals and most of his subordinates were afraid of him, consequently he made bad decisions because he was paranoid.

Answer 9

Nope... Hitler's drug addiction would have caused him to lead his country into its destruction.

Answer 10

Hell no the russian kick ***
