Current Events > Why do people think the nazis were smart

(+) Yeah! (+)

They were complete idiots that wasted resources on dumb **** such as an event I cannot name on here. Why the **** would you do that when you are in a two front war with limited resources to begin with!!

---

They had brilliant scientists, which is why the allies and Soviets were competing to scoop them up as soon as the war ended

the only people that think nazis were smart are nazis and dogs

brilliant or most reliable scientists to combat the soviet union during the COLD WAR because they totally trusted the Soviet sources during it?

germany had brilliant minds with respect to science, industry, humanities, military science

but central planning will be central planning - single point of failure with respect to decision-making (see: absolute dictatorship) that ultimately brought the entire country to total ruin

Nobody but shitposters like you who want to bait people into praising Nazis says "The nazis were smart".

Intelligent people agree that the Nazis either had or forced some of the greatest minds of the time to work for them.

The soviets were ruled by a dictator and destroyed the germans though

Why are you self censoring

Nazis were evil but nazi scientists are responsible for a lot of our current scientific knowledge. Of course they were smart.

going "the nazi scientists were smart!" is the same thing as saying "we wouldnt be alive if hitler didnt exist"

like cool bro who cares do you like yelling out the sky is blue except in this case it only serves to offend people, and rightfully so?

The dirty secrect is we went to the moon because of Nazi rocket scientists. Wernher von Braun was SS and him and his colleagues spearheaded the Apollo projects.

yet they couldnt win a war?

Well they took on the world in a war and didn't lose for years. Can't be dumb and do that right

Credit for this post goes partially to Norm McDonald

I mean, nazis were people. Some of them were smart and some were dumb.

That said, german science and engineering was pretty cutting edge in the 30s and 40s. A nazi rocket scientist lead the United states to putting a man on the moon.

They invented math

The soviets were ruled by a dictator and destroyed the germans though

• hitler initially relied on the wisdom of his generals, and then began to micromanage things in a counterproductive manner, leading to some major strategic/logistical blunders contributing to the collapse of his war effort.
• stalin initially dismissed the wisdom of his generals, but eventually began to let them do their thing, leading to the tide of war turning and their steamrolling of the nazis.
• soviets had a higher population, more raw materials at their disposal and land for regrouping, and extensive allied support with respect to supplies, munitions, etc. they were also seemingly willing to conscript anyone - including minors and the elderly - something the nazis only resorted to towards the end of the war.
• scorched earth and the russian winter
• nazis had to divert troops to support italy's poorly executed campaigns in the mediterranean

tl;dr both were dictatorships, but the soviets were not spread nearly as thin with respect to the scope of their activities during ww2, and wised up to letting the generals do their jobs as effectively as possible, while the opposite was the case with the nazis.

Because German science is the best science in the world. This is true because I learned this from JoJo.

hmmmm closet nazi identified and tagged. Thank you for admitting you support the lost cause myth.

the reason they lost the war was their leader was a dumbass. Hitler ignored the advice of his advisors and inner circle. he would often override them and change plans.

or maybe the generals didnt want to own up to their ***** ups during the war and blamed Hitler. Did you ever think about that?

just cause people are evil doesn't make them dumb. it doesn't work that way. like someone else said, nazis were like any other people. some were smart some were dumb. some were run of the mill. anyway, it's well documented that hitler often ignored advice. lots of the biggest mistakes in the war were mistakes caused by Hitler. he had a big ego and often felt he knew what was best and didn't really care what other people's opinions were

what were these mistakes this lost cause narrative keep blabbing about,

like invading russia. he started off allied with the soviets. hitler just kinda randomly decided to tear up the alliance and attack them when his people were begging him not to. that turned out to be the downfall of germany.

Interesting that tcs take on the Holocaust is that it was a waste of resources

1) war with Russia was going to happen and Russia was preparing for it.

2) Russia had just purged its military staff and had a really embarrassing war with Finland

3) Germany had defied all odds and defeated Europe within a short span vs the German empire(way more powerful than nazi Germany by far) could not even do. Lets not forget, Russia got owned in WW1 too lol

4) The Nazis didnt even consider the Russians human so you have that fake confidence boost

Looking at all these points, do you blame them for invading Russia now?

Nazis be like "Durrrr, me dumb!"

what an absolutely abhorrent post

to have a basic grasp of the history of the conflict does not make someone a nazi, and that you have resorted to fallacious mudslinging in the absence of a proper rebuttal indicates your motivations with respect to this topic were disingenuous and that you perhaps needn't be engaged with respect to discussion

---

I forget, what number was the rule of the internet that said "If you make a topic about Nazis, Zikten will show up to defend them"?
