The Germans basically beat themselves...
They were spread so thin by the time the USA got into the War, that they couldnt supply the troops with petrol, ammo and other necesities.
The troops were basically forced to "live off the land", and when they invaded Russia, the Russian Government decided the "scortched Earth policy" would decimate the Germans.. It did! They didnt have anything to eat going to the invasion and coming back from the invasion.
They were burning up more "reserves" of natural resources than they were aquiring...
You cant invade a Country, and then continue on with another invastion after invasion... You "first" have to "secure" that Country, and take over the infrastructure in order to get ready to take over another... Leaving a rudimentary Government to oversee everything is not a good thing, because you have sabotauge and discontent to deal with from the conquered populace.
When the army out races the supply lines, then you will ultimately lose every time.
I wish you well...

The Germans beat themselves. America was able to take advantage of all their mistakes. America kept the pressure on and each time the Germans would slip-up, The USA advanced into that opportunity. I don't mean to belittle the US victory. They fought fearlessly. But, this was the fist time the Germans encountered any resistance. They just rolled over France and Poland and thought all countries would be as easy.
Russia was our Allie. They fought a similar war against Germany just waiting for the mistakes that came like clockwork. The Germans that made it out of Russia were starving, beaten men.
The victory over the Japanese was a much greater victory because the Japanese only made two or three mistakes in the whole war. They put up stiff resistance and America only won because of grinding away of Japanese troops a little at a time. The Americans were likewise ground down in the fierce fighting. If it were not for the second atom bomb, the Japanese still might have fought to a stalemate.
The enemies of the USA should know that they fight a country able to win two all out wars at one time. I would say, that has never been done before in the history of the world.

There are many reasons why the germans lost WW2, however most of them go to the improper planning and tatics of Hitler as he assumed personal control and responsibility for the German Armed Forces during WWII. He took on many fronts at the same time, which he was critical of Germany doing doing during WWI. Upon successful invasions, he stopped short of continuing on when he could have taken the major power sources for the allies, instead he just sat and waited. The end came really when the Reich was thworted and put to and end in the final days of the war. As for who beat them, it was a joined effort of the Allied Forces.

The Germans lost because Hitler was on methedrine and made very stupid decisions, like attacking the USSR while he was still occupied with subduing western Europe. The Allies who beat Germany were the USSR, the USA, England, France, Canada--"The Allies".

Germany lost cause of Hitlers increasing mental disruptions
he had Parkinson's disease towards the end, he married his "woman" then the next day gave her a poison pill to test its effectiveness.
if i was Hitler's right hand man I'd aid him to victory
biggest mistakes
1. attacking Russia
2. failing to kill off retreating 300,000+ British soldiers at that port
3. 13 million man army vs god knows how many allies you'd have to be a military genius to slay enemy at over whelming odds (movie 300 =) )
4. lack of country resources, like America had
if he attacked on one front without engaging Russia, and if the japans never engaged America,then Russia and America would be the liberals they were and stand by while the rest of the world was controlled by Nazis and turned into the united nations of Germany.

The allied forces, and why did they lose, because they had to spread too many soldiers to maintain the occupied countries
