@soldier7799 The history of WW II is well known and yes Germany did retreat AFTER the Soviet Union was given an enormous amount of war materials from the United States. With all of the natural resources Stalin had at his disposal in his country he should have been able to do better without the help of the U.S. but the political system in place at the time in the U.S.S.R. held the country back from getting the job done by themselves. An important lesson that everyone should know.
Funny that all those people welcoming the Germans with open arms and flowers would be dying in death camps later on, sure the soviets were no dream but hey at least they weren't killing people left and right just because of ethnicity
Germans ,, should have gone all the way to Moscow. big mistake.. well, hitler was not known to be a genuis. Which means,, you need to destroy Washington DC to conquer the USA,, but,, all states,, can fight on their own.
The Germans were such a magnificent army and they truly felt they were on a crusade to destroy bolshevism. This is what they were told to motivate them.However the other c outomment because Hitlers's design was always to push east to obtain "Lebensraum" as he spelled out in "Mein Kampf". The corrupt values of the Fuhrer and German government contrasted shaply with the valor and sacrifice of the Wehrmacht in attempting to obtain these political goals..
Exactly, the goal should have been moscow to symbolicaly destroy communism and own the communication hub of the Soviet Union. However Hitler broke the army up into 3 parts, and was after Lebensraum even before The soviets were defeated. What did the Soviets do on the counter attack? They went right after Berlin, they did not go after Frankfuit or Hamburg and Berlin, the whol goal was Berlin. So it should have always been Moscow. The Germans would have easily conqured Moscow
It is very much possible that Germany did not want war or aggression at all, but was provoked by ever increasing threat of Marxism, and the thought of Red Russia walking over Western European civilization was enough to motivate hundreds of thousands to got to war against Marxism. In Spain the same thing had occurred in the thirties. Who is "right" and who is "wrong" depends on which side you prefer, and which media channels you follow.
As you know all too well, the British have been no angels throughout history. "Oliver's army" has probably committed more atrocities over the centuries cumulatively, than the German/Prusso military republics comiitted from the 1870's ,when Germany unified, till the end of WWII . But the victors are the ones who dictate history. Btw- do you know of any Irish nationals who fought in the German army ,during either World War?
I like listening to this German radio - in this time reminds me of USA media propaganda channels.
