so many fatal errors.....

they should stabilized the front in smolensk and wait the winter there. and in 1942 at the caucasus they fought for a useless city (totally destroyed) only cause the name of the city (stalingrad)...they should take the oil of maikop and bakú with the south armies...not a ruined city. the germans were elite soldiers...but they didn´t have a strategic leader

this is why the germans nick all the sunbeds in the spanish holiday resorts,they remember the cold on the easternfront.

@Ubaldo421 Hitler let the British escape at Dunkirk. He wanted to go easy on them as he thought he could make a deal with them. Hitler was actually a fan of the British. He wanted them to keep their empire if they let him control Europe. That really was a stupid mistake because the British would never agree to that. He should have finished them off when he had the chance. Letting them escape was stupid. However it was the mistakes in Russia that finished the Germans.

@Stevethesearcher Thank you my friend. Hitler has been really an irresponsible man. The first heavy,very heavy mistake he did in Dunquerke (France) may 1940. He never heard his generals advices. That's the truth.

[Ubaldo421]

@kaitracid75 fuck you. It's better.

[Stevethesearcher]

@Ubaldo421 You are totally right. The reason why Germany lost the war was because of Hitlers stupid military decisions. Guderian for example urged Hitler to take Moscow quickly in 1941 but Hitler delayed the advance and split the German forces. As a result the Russian Winter set in and the Germans got bogged down while the Russians regrouped. Then you had Stalingrad where the Germans could have retreated and saved many men but Hitler said no. Hitler lost the war for the German army.

Would have been better if the USA and the UK would be in unison with Germany against the communists. World would not haves the Cold War and the threat of nuclear war.

Communist Russia was the greatest enemy of mankind rather than Germany!

Always a joy to see such excellent troops such as the Grossdeutschland in action, all types of footage be it. It is a shame though that such plea's or appeals were ignored by the incompetence of the OKH for replacements, rest and maintainence etc, as was plea's also for the XXIV Panzer Corps, above all, ALL of Army Group Center and what have you, rest was dearly needed from nearly 5 months of continuous fighting . High command just got sick on victory, nonsensical orders in -68 degrees.

@ottodasgrunt

If the Wehrmacht was so great how come they let Gen. McAuliffe rub their collective noses in it at Bastogne...? Nuts!
