how did hitler beat so many countries. like france, etc when all these countries together are so powerful?

Answer 1

There were lots of Nazi sympathizers all over Europe - they called it the "Fifth Column" - and they were the reason that those countries surrendered.

This was especially true in Denmark, Norway and Holland, who's armies barely resisted the Nazis, due to the widespread influence of Nazi sympathizers in their governments.

On the other hand, in countries like England and the Soviet Union, where Nazi sympathizers were few and far between, the Germans didn't get very far at all.

Answer 2

Obviously, because he was able to divide them. He also had the element of surprise in some cases and he was allowed to build a huge army unchecked for years and then ignored or appeased when he began taking over neighboring countries long before going into France.

Also, he had a truce with Spain, which is on the other side of France, so they were kind of between a rock and a hard place there.

Answer 3

1. Coordination of his forces - used Armored units together while the French had theirs scattered piecemeal. Allies failed to coordinate their forces under a unified command (i.e. French did their thing while the Brits did another & the Belgians something else, etc.).
2. Tactics - quick, flanking movements.
3. Generals - Germans generally acknowledged to have better leaders
4. Weaponry - tho limited forces, generally had superior, modern weapons (i.e. automatic guns vs. bolt action rifles, mono planes vs. old bi-wings)
5. Gambler - risk taker & bluff (when Hitler saw the Czeck defensives after the Sudatenland debacle, he was thankful the Allies had not called his bluff).
6. Commitment - Hitler commited his Armies to the attack, the Allies were on the defensive & unsure.
WWII is a terrific period to study. Especially when Germany came so close to victory.

Answer 4

Overall, the Germans had better military doctrine in '39 and '40, and more experienced troops in '41 and into '43. And the opponents fell one at a time, unless one thinks the Low Countries really offered a significant block to the Germans in Fall Gelb, because of the lack of readiness and resolve of those countries to preempt German aggression.

Answer 5

The same way it's happening here in the good ole US of A. Liberal garbage of "can't we just talk and all get along" PC, Can't report a group of muslim's in the Airport that are acting strange. An Arab, even reported them as acting strange. What happens? TSA, orders all airline employee's to take sensitivity training!!!

Hitler beating France? Hey, how many frenchmen does it take to win a war??? No one knows, it's never been tried. Look at France today. They are not far from Muslims being the majority. Look at Great Britain and influx of Muslims. What about America?

Answer 6

It is because they didn't come together to confront Hitler that they lost. Thus the creation of NATO. This is an organization that is designed to protect member countries who are attacked by a foreign enemy! They are also forbidden to attack another member country within NATO.

Unfortunately, the same member nations who were directly involved in WWII, are now skirting their resposibilty in Afghanistan. Oh, they have sent troops to help out, but refuse to send them south where the Taliban are the strongest. The countries I refer to are France, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

Answer 7

France hasn't gained a conflict considering Napoleon replaced into around. The French don't have the tummy to combat a conflict. Germany is a distinctive tale. So the respond on your question is that if France and Germany could have a conflict, Germany could sparkling-up. lower back.

Answer 8

At the beginning of WWII the German army was the best equipped, best trained, and most highly motivated army in Europe. Also, they used new and unpredictable tactics which combined air, land, and sea assaults. They were also highly mobile, and could conduct multiple simultaneous attacks and then capture key points in the ensuing confusion.

Also, Germany was a very populated country (it still has one of the highest populations in Europe) and had good resource wealth, as well as access to the ocean.

Answer 9

When countries refuse to believe that something is happening it's real easy to come in and take over.
No one wanted to believe Hitler was a threat to the world and in the mean time he slowly set the Nazi's up to sweep the world.

Kind of like radical islam is doing today. Seems it's true, if you don't learn from your mistakes, you're bound to repeat them.

Answer 10

They forgot the domino effect.
