Would the 1940s still be very much like WW1 kind of fighting if the Germans have not modernise their army?

Question

such as weapons, war doctrines, tactic, etc in the 1st place?

Answer 1

I doubt it; there were too many other nations who had incorporated some portion of the 'breakthrough and move on' doctrine. The Russians had huge tank armies and lots of room to run, and the British had been experimenting with relatively modern tank tactics (slowly and grudgingly, it's true). The French were also haltingly playing with the idea of massed tanks, although it's anyone's guess how far young turks like DeGaulle would have got under different circumstances. Look at the North African campaign the British ran against the Italian invasion of Egypt; hard to see how the Germans could have run it better.
Wow - Sandy and suzy need to brush up on their history. The Wehrmacht was extensively modernized and expanded once Hitler came to power (no choice - pretty much all their good equipment had been scrapped by the winners of #1). That means new, modern equipment and new, modern tactics as well.

Answer 2

Lets face it the Germans where being lead at the time by a Sociopath , raciest, retard. That got lucky and took over a bunch of place that either 1. Did not put up a fight at all (Sweden). 2. Or did not fight very well (The French)!!!!!! Hitler was a good sales man he took bunch or people that were upset about the debit they incurred from the first war and the lack of help rebuilding their country!!!!! And turned them into a bunch of fanatically white supremacist. Personally If Hitler would not have been such a good public speaker then they would have remember how horrible the first war was an they would not have fought.

Answer 3

Well, by the end of WWI they were used most of the same kinds of weapons they used in WW2, just not as sophisticated. They used tanks, submarines, machine guns, planes, the works.

About the only difference is that they didn;t use chemical weapons on nearly the same scale as they did in WWI (the Genevia Convention nixed that) and they did away with that stupid trench warfare, learning that to wins wars you have to stay mobile and not fixed in one place.

Answer 4

Can't you do your own homework? The Germans did not modernize their army, the Wehrmacht. They depended on their SS troops, the real killers and science. They had the brains of brilliant scientists building V rockets to bomb england. They also used the brain of albert Einstein, who was secretly brought out of Germany and other brilliant scientists. Many of those scientists were brought to the U.S. after the war and helped to build our space program.

Answer 5

It was not that modern....was much of the same type of equipment except for the navy and the airplanes....read your history a good website is www.thirdreichinruins.com......since hitlers time was called the third reich.

Answer 6

your question is meaningless. Losers almost always modernize their weapons, tactics, etc. The winners seldom do, since they stick with what works.

Answer 7

Without improvements everything would stay the way it used to be. Actually we would still live in caves...
