Would Hitler have won WW2 if his army was built like the US army ?

Question

It's been on my mind for a while now...

Answer 1

The Axis Powers of WWII are some of the best examples of why politicians shouldn't run wars and military leaders shouldn't run countries.

If Hitler had told his Generals, "Go conquer the World! Go! What are you wiating for?" and left it at that. The Germans would have won. But when Hitler, whos military leadership experience stopped when he was a corporal, started thinking he was smarter then his Generals, things started going down hill.

On the flip side - In Japan the political power was pretty much usurped by the Japanese military. The Emperor was nothing but a puppet of his military. And this is why many politicians want oversite and the ability to control what the military does.

It is a constant struggle for any nation that has a military.

Answer 2

The Army was not the weakness of the Germans during WWII it was the corrupt bureaucrats that filled the public dole in Germany. Albert Spier was tasked with trying to get more munitions to the front, and was appalled by the crap he had to go through. Plus he was Hitlers right hand man and could not change a damn thing. Hitler diced that country up so finely only his death could of eased the manufacturing restrictions he placed on the German People.

Don't get me wrong he would of eventually lost, but it could of taken years and quite possibly nuclear strikes as they were pretty close "2 years" to there own bomb when all the scientists were sent to the eastern front.

He could of also fielded a jet plane as early as late 43 if all the scientist weren't sent to the eastern front. The same fate came to his ballistic missile system too.

Thank-God all mighty megalomaniacs don't have any friends.

Answer 3

Nope.

Have you every seen the movie Battle of the Bulge

With Henery Fonda.

Remember the scene where the German Tank Officer is in his trailor, showing his commander the Cake that had been found on a American soldier that was captured.

That scene sums up why Germany lost and we won the war.

Germany could not keep supplying it's Army with oil, food and ammunition.

While our supply chain was so good, we could afford to send a soldier in battle, a cake his mother had made and mailed to him.

Answer 4

No Hitler's army wasn't the problem really, he had a very nice army as far as armies go. The reasons he lost are pretty long winded and hotly debated. But I think we can say it wasn't because of the armies themselves.

Some reasons he lost
technology
lack of resources
lack of adequate labor
multiple fronts
trying to hold onto unfriendly territory
underestimating his enemy (my personal favorite)

Answer 5

Nope, but he might have won it if he hadn't tried to play general. He micromanaged his military just as Congress is trying to do now.
His generals told him to attack earlier into Russia and he didn't. The result was that they weren't able to take Moscow before the winter set in.
His generals wanted to be able to more quickly respond to the impending beach landing but he was set on it being elsewhere and held his reserves.
His generals told him a counterattack would be detrimental to winning, but he ordered it anyway.

Answer 6

The reason Germany lost was because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, forcing the USA into the war.

Roosevelt found his political opportunity to save the British from Germany. He focused on the war in Europe before taking revenge on the Japanese.

This sealed Germany's fate. Germany did not have the resources to take the fight to the American continent and could not keep its supply lines open (particularly oil).

To this day, we fight for oil. Interesting.

Answer 7

If Hitler had held to his treaty with USSR we would be speaking German today. The Wehrmacht was a first rate well equipped military that had Hitler overload their plate cause he was a nutcase.

Answer 8

Eartha, Britain did combat on the european soil on my own for terribly nearly 2 years granted. Hitler as all of us comprehend replaced right into a runner between trenches for the period of the great conflict. humorous difficulty right here is that runners relatively knew extra with regards to the conflict circumstances than did any push pin German, English, or French commonly used in this conflict. We form of see this carry over in the 2nd international conflict do not we? He removes the final's skill to make self sustaining judgements according to the fluid conflict field circumstances on the two the East and Western Fronts. i think of too in many situations there's a ecu tendency to look on the U. S. as purely gaining our "blood stripes" in North Africa in Operation Torch and then in direction of Operation Husky in that area of the international and your dates look superb adequate in the time-physique. yet, what amazes me is how those comparable people who consistently criticsize the US will straight away forget with regards to the battles in the Pacific. i'm the 1st to commend our Commonwealth and Russian Allies for the period of the 2nd international conflict; yet, i stumble on it extremely unlucky that those comparable sturdy human beings % to forget that there replaced into additionally Pacific Theatre of Operations that we incredibly frankly supported with ingredients on my own to comprise the constrained Australian and New Zealand Forces that weren't in North Africa or later Italy. Do the Commonwealth text cloth books instruct that the British Lend hire money have been executed on 26 December, 2006? If not then this might instruct probable that the 2nd international conflict in the ETO replaced into gained with the aid of Commonwealth Forces on my own (or so it would look). Sir Winston Churchill is a hero to me, and the British u . s . for taking a bloody nostril for the period of the early area of the conflict however the sturdy Brits stayed in the combat and not in any respect tossed in the towel. conflict of england or conflict of recent Britain? Which do you think of Commonwealth international locations bear in mind the main as we talk? To me that's the comparable as not recalling the Kokoda music anymore than purely recalling the heroric attempt of Dunkirk with the aid of the British in a stand on my own way. all the suitable Eartha, Gerry
