in what ways (that were similar to draft in military) did the Nazis and Communists fail?

Question

The Nazis and Communists thought forcing people into service(military) was a good idea and they failed. i need to explain this for my debate. how did this fail for them, in the same way that our draft will fail for us?

Answer 1

I don't think conscription really failed for either of them nor do I think that either case holds a lot of information about how the draft might fail for us. Both the Germans and Soviets were locked in a struggle for their lives, conscription made a heck of a lot of sense.
I suppose you could argue that, particularly in the Soviet case, conscription was a human-rights disaster. But that's more of a question of their government's psychotic paranoia than because they resorted to conscription.

I suppose you could point to the way Germany conscripted eastern europeans, including Russians, into some of their units to pad their army. A good many of them defended France from the D-Day invasions and, quite frankly, weren't very high quality troops. They weren't well motivated and had a tendency to surrender. But the same doesn't hold true for most Germans who were conscripted.
So if you really want to have ammunition to say that conscription worked poorly for either the Germans or Soviets, you should point to their conscription of foreigners rather than their own peoples.

Answer 2

The draft is not why the Nazis and communists failed. the Nazis lost a protracted military campaign, and which communists are you referring too? the Russians failure was the economic collapse brought about by the United States increase in military research and funding, but china, Cuba, North Korea and now Venezuela are all doing OK.

in fact those countries without Communism are doing OK, off the top of my head, Israel and Switzerland.

if this is the stuff they are trying to teach you in school then I would contact someone about the indoctrination they are apparently pushing.

Answer 3

just too much people (men) was drafted, and no society of the country like that could work.

in Nazi germany 30% of their citizens were soliders.
well think. 50% are men, and lets say 10% are too old, and 10% are too young, thats all well fit teens to mid 40s to 50s in military. thats almost every man in the military.

just too much military good for wars, but to run the country no.

Answer 4

Nazis are fascists who steal all the wealth. Communists try to make their own wealth. They failed because of the US international embargo. Couldn't deal with it.
