Question

Please answer quickly! I'm finishing up a report which is due tomorrow! Thank You!

Answer 1

he was very successful at first, made it all the way to moscow, he eventually was beaten back and russia and the allies prevailed

Answer 2

He was defeated in a very hard and cruel way since Wehrmacht lost many men during the Russian winter and they couldn't resist the later march of the Red Army to Berlin

Answer 3

OK , Hitler was turned back after the battle of Stalingrad. One of the hardest fought battles of all time. The Russians to horrific casualties early on. They just did not have the weapons. The cold , the freezing weather is what stopped the Germans there. You have to remember the United States was sending the Russians weapons because they were our Allie. Hitler should never have fought a two front war , it just proved all the more how crazy he was. I hope this helped it is as simply as I can put it.

Answer 4

Added from your first answer, and then, the Russians lead everyone of German descent in their country, born there as well moved there, to Siberia, the frozen tundra. The Russians placed them in Siberian Work Camps until the p.o.w.'s either froze to death or escaped. When the Americans discovered what the Russians were doing (these were only one of many reasons), we began our Cold War. My mother is German-Russian who immigrated to America at the age of 13 and became a citizen after she graduated from high school at 16. She traces her lineage as far back as the Alsatian region of Germany when Catherine the Great recruited the hard working Germans to her country of Russia and escape the threat of Napoleon. In return she gave the Germans free land and the promise not to be forced in fighting a war as long as she ruled. This did not go to well over with the other Russians of course. Many books have been written on the Black Sea Germans. Today, they call themselves Ukrainians, but my mom's birth certificate says Russia.

Answer 5

In April 1945, Soviet forces were at the gates of Berlin. Hitler's closest lieutenants urged him to flee to Bavaria or Austria to make a last stand in the mountains, but he seemed determined to either live or die in the capital. SS leader Heinrich Himmler tried on his own to inform the Allies (through the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte) that Germany was prepared to discuss surrender terms. Meanwhile Hermann Göring sent a telegram from Bavaria in which he argued that since Hitler was cut off in Berlin, as Hitler's designated successor he should assume leadership of Germany. Hitler angrily reacted by dismissing both Himmler and Göring from all their offices and the party and declared them traitors.

After intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory in the city centre, Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker on April 30, 1945 by means of a self-delivered shot to the head (it is likely he simultaneously bit into a cyanide ampoule). Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun (his long-term mistress whom he had married the day before) were put in a bomb crater, partially burned with gasoline by Führerbunker aides and hastily buried in the Chancellory garden as Russian shells poured down and Red Army infantry continued to advance only two or three hundred metres away. He also had his dog Blondi poisoned around the same time.

When Russian forces reached the Chancellory, they found his body and an autopsy was performed using dental records (and German dental assistants who were familiar with them) to confirm the identification. To avoid any possibility of creating a potential shrine, the remains of Hitler and Braun were repeatedly moved, then secretly buried by SMERSH at their new headquarters in Magdeburg. In April 1970, when the facility was about to be turned over to the East German government, the remains were reportedly exhumed, thoroughly cremated, and the ashes finally dumped unceremoniously into the Elbe. According to the Russian Federal Security Service, a fragment of human skull stored in its archives and displayed to the public in a 2000 exhibition came from the remains of Hitler's body uncovered by the Red Army in Berlin, and is all that remains of Hitler; however, the authenticity of the skull has been challenged by many historians and researchers

Answer 6

He was defeted. One of the reason was from the same reason as Nepolean before him. The Mud and The Snow. Hitlers troops were not ready for the conditions in Russia.

The Russians, however, did lose the most men. More russians dies than Germans, but because the russians had more people, hey were able to still fight. The russians did not have much money or weapons, but they had what they needed, alot of people.

Answer 7

He was defeated in one of the bloodiest confrontations in history! We can all thank Russia for defeating the Germans and saving the Allies butts!

Answer 8

Quite clearly he lost, search the 'Siege of Stalingrad', where his troops got bogged down. The first foreign troops to liberate the deathcamps, enter Germany and get to Berlin were Russians.

Answer 9

He came awfully damn close, but the worst Russian winter in history finally stiopped him.

Answer 10

Hitler was defeated...IIRC it was at the Battle of Stalingrad
