Question

What caused the fall of the Nazis. Also, is there an english translation of "Reich".

by the way, im majoring in history next year when i get to college

Answer 1

From the obvious conception of their plan of violence.... It all boiled down to their dependence on oil. They did not have the fuel sources to continue with their invasion plans. Their tanks and air force, and artillery forces could not be mobilized because a lack of fuel, it left the ground troops open to artillery attacks from opposing forces. Their troops were left in freezing conditions in Russia, many of their troops froze to death.
The United States entered the war prematurely from Hitler's stand point. He had too many fronts to defend, his expansion left his troops to sparse and unable to properly defend their positions.
Reich means State.

Answer 2

Besides being nut jobs, the Dreiter Reich or third empire attacked Russia which was a willing accomplice in their plunder of poland and Europe. They relied on the Enigma machine which had been compromised and allowed the allies to read their secret codes almost as quickly as they did. This gave the allies a HUGE advantage over Germany. They also declared war on the U.S. which they didn't need to do. The Japanese were not good allies for Germany, and they had been pushed to declare war against the allies by Germany, but refused.
Germany also wasted huge amounts of manpower and trains on the destruction of the Jews. There were actuallyl Generals arguing to stop this, but they didn't until the end of the war which was a huge strategic mistake.

Answer 3

Their mistake that cost them the war was attacking Russia. Russia was basically an ally, so it was a bad idea. They threw 3,050,000 men into the Russian lands, most of them dying. After taking France, the Balkans, and Poland, Hitler should have destroyed the UK (with 3 million men it wouldn't be too hard) and taken over Africa and the Middle East for oil. They then could mop up Europe, wait 10 years, and do a double offensive against America with the help of Japan. With the world in control of the allies of Nazi Germany, the USSR, and Japan, anything could have happened.

Answer 4

In late 1942, German forces under Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel were defeated in the second battle of El Alamein, thwarting Hitler's plans to seize the Suez Canal and the Middle East. In February 1943, the lengthy Battle of Stalingrad ended with the complete encirclement and destruction of the German 6th Army. Both defeats were turning points in the war, although the latter is more commonly considered primary. From this point on, the quality of Hitler's military judgment became increasingly erratic and Germany's military and economic position deteriorated.

Reich - is the German word for "realm" or "empire"

Answer 5

Reich = State

Hitler made a lot of mistakes. Perhaps the two biggest were:

- delaying the invasion of the USSR / diverting forces to the Balkans in order to bail out Mussolini

- Declaring war on the United States after Pearl Harbor (he didn't have to)

These two together, pretty much sealed his fate.

Answer 6

empire is Reich,they fell because they were fighting on to many borders at once .the were attacking too many countries at the same time ,their arrogance destroyed them

Hitlers New World Order is still happening , nothing has really changed ,only the nationality of the players and the locations

He should have kept the pressure on North Africa. Instead he moved a lot of his resources into the Eastern front to be decimated by nature and a very large Soviet nation. He was trying to do to much to fast. He made plenty of military blunders.

Complex. He didn't need to declare war on U.S. Two pronged war. Diverted development of Uranium/nuclear bomb to procede in annilalating Jews.
