I mean they invaded in June. Originally it was supposed to be May but they had to invade Yugoslavia and Greece which set them back on their time schedule. Also to be fair it was the Russian fall rains and the mud that they caused on Russia's mostly dirt roads that stopped the advance and allowed the Russians time to bring in the Siberian forces to reinforce the defenses around Moscow. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:962516705] in NFL Pro Bo...

Not only was the weather as warm as it was ever going to get, basically all of Stalin's troops were over on the east fighting against the Japanese. The western front was mostly undefended.

Now, if Hitler's top brass were competent and he stayed out of planning the war, and they didn't invade Russia... They MIGHT have got a sizable hold on on Europe had they avoided drawing the Soviets and America in, if only because eventually the British were going to run out of money to fight the war. But I doubt it long term. The German Army and the SS spent as much time fighting partisans behind their lines as they did fighting the enemy.

ShineboxPhil 02/09/22 11:51:20 PM #75:	Too much of the Nazi Leadership were like Hitler, ordinary infantrymen in the Kaiser's army, who had little grasp of the full scope of the war. They prolly didn't realize towards the end, Germany had next to nothing when it came to natural resources to prolong the war. Just because the allies did not fight Germany in their own territory, they believed they didn't truly lose when the war ended and thought them accepting the blame in the treaty of Versailles was shameful. Many of these esteemed generals like Guderian, Rommel, and so on were pushing for war just to erase the past of 1918. Little did they know the same issues that stalled the Kaiser with limited resource would do them in as well. The Germans just were not ready against actual countries that can actually defend themselves.

Yeah, the closest I think he had in his inner circle to someone who was a real officer was Herman Goring, and Goring only led JG I towards the end of WWI after The Red Baron died. Or did he only have Jasta 11? Doesn't matter in the long run. Running a Squadron is a lot different than running a whole air force. That had an armored land division for some stupid fucking reason. The other problem with invading Russia is that prior to fighting them, he'd faced small countries. Russia is not small, to state the obvious. And once they moved most of their factories east of the URals, well, that was it. They have a huge population, and now you can't even stop them from making weapons of war. Then you declare war on America and you have the same problem, plus a giant ocean. And you don't have any four engine bombers. Why? Because some other officers convinced Goring they were useless, a fact Goring bemoaned late in the war. If they could reach the factories it may have made a difference.

UnholyMudcrab 02/10/22 2:16:53 AM #80:	ShineboxPhil posted... The Germans just were not ready against actual countries that can actually defend themselves. Lol France. I always feel like I need to toss France a bit of a bone when this subject comes up. The French army was eminently capable of conducting a defense against the Germans, it just turned out that they had set up for that defense in the wrong spot. Their plan was to dig in behind a line of rivers and canals in Belgium, which was exactly where the Germans planned to attack until Manstein altered the plan to include the armored thrust through the Ardennes. It's not like the French completely discounted the possibility of the Germans coming through in the Ardennes either. They just thought it would take the Germans longer to get through the forests, perhaps a week or more, and the expected slow speed of the advance would give them time to react. When the attack came through and the enemy had crossed the Meuse within 60 hours, the French command effectively seized up. --- http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif http://i.imgur.com/gd5jC8q.gif http://i.imgur.com/PKIy7.gif http://i.imgur.com/3p29JqP.gif <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:962521671] in NFL Pro Bo...

Lol France.</quote>I always feel like I need to toss France a bit of a bone when this subject comes up. The French army was eminently capable of conducting a defense against the Germans, it just turned out that they had set up for that defense in the wrong spot. Their plan was to dig in behind a line of rivers and canals in Belgium, which was exactly where the Germans planned to attack until Manstein altered the plan to include the armored thrust through the Ardennes.

I mean, his own generals were trying to kill him too, so there is that. And if you look at all the plots to kill Hitler, the amount of luck this bastard had to not die until he chose to kill himself rather than face an army of very angry Russians is insane. There was a bomb plot that failed to blow his plane up because it was too cold, another plot using the same bombs failed because the guy couldn't get close enough to Hitler (the suicide bomber also got very lucky surviving), another attempt that was part of the Valkaryie plot was called off because they couldn't get Himmler at the same time (they didn't want to risk a civil war with the SS). Yet ANOTHER plot was stopped by a German Officer not out of loyalty but just because he thought it was wrong to kill a man while he was eating. And then there was the bomb that actually DID detonate, but because of the placement of the bomb against a heavy table leg and the open windows, Hitler and just about everyone else in the room survived. Hitler created a special gold wound badge to commemorate living through the attempt, for himself and everyone else in the room. I also recall reading, and take this with a grain of salt, the Allied powers considered slipping Hitler female growth hormone to try and neuter the power of his voice. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks <cite>Crazyman93 posted [p:962582209] in NFL Pro Bo...
