How did he actually believe that one attack was going to turn the tides of the war.
Having the most advanced jet fighter at the time doesn't matter if you don't have the fuel to get it off the ground lol
B-but muh wunderwaffe..!
-every wehraboo, probably
Or the spare parts to replace the quickly worn-out engines. Or the skilled pilots to man them. Or the numbers to make a difference. Or the infrastructure and safety for their engineers to keep from being leap-frogged within a year or so by Western engineers with even better planes.
@@rikk319 Mostly high skilled and ranked pilots flew ME 262, because this plane was highly dangerous and difficult to start and land.
That also explains the good K/D rating.
Adolf Galland, General of the Luftwaffe, said:
I am completly confessed If we just have 300 ME 262 at a time, we would be able to shoot down 200 Bombers a day. Two weeks and the Allies have to stop any bombing raids at daylight.
Hitler mistake was to want a „Blitzbomber“. So this great jet fighter was heavily delayed because they tried to make a bomber out of it. Idiocity, but this made the war shorter and the russians did not capture more of germany
not to mention the countless supertanks left to rust in the factory for lack of go-go juice.
@@rikk319 The issue was not stupidity, but simply the fact Germany *did not have the resources available.*
When people complain about German offensives lacking fuel, they tend to act as if Germany *could* get more fuel, when in reality, they *couldn’t.*
It wasn’t an oversight, it was Germany facing the harsh realities of the war.
Germany’s only decent source of oil was Romania, and even that was small compared to Texas or Baku.
Mass production of spares and equipment would have made things worse- specialized ‘wunderwaffe’ actually saved more fuel in relative proportion to their individual destructive power (except maybe the V-2).
"the allies cant put together an amphibious invasion"
allies : "what if we just pounded a poorly defended section of the coast with absolutely everything we had?"
germans: wait what
I wouldn't call Normandie a poorly defended section of the coast as the Allies almost failed D - day and given that Rommel did not check and prepare Normandie since he thought that the Allies might attack calais instead so if Normandie was prepared for an operation like D - day the Allies might have failed the invasion
@@slavic_viking9638 Erwin Rommel knew that the commonwealth and the americans were going to land at normandy
@@slavic_viking9638 If the beaches assaulted by the Allies HAD been adequately defended and prepared, there was no way the Germans would have lost to the Allied offensive short of a miracle.
@@theranger1304 The Allies simply would have attacked elsewhere. The Germans were doomed.
@@Grummsh00 It's not a case of "simply" attacking elsewhere. It was a full sledged invasion. They had already committed entirely to this plan.
Failure to break through the German defensive line would have cost the Allies enormous casualties and TIME.
Thankfully they did not fail. But to say the Germans were doomed at this point is very untrue. The writing was on the wall, but the tide of the war could still have been majorly swung if the Allies had failed the Normandy invasion.

Wouldn't be surprised to hear it nowadays about Ukrainian volunteer batallion, lol
I was stationed in Germany in 70s and 80s.
The Germans who lived during the time of the war told me that in 1943 everybody knew the was lost.
They listened to the BBC which was always right on target and reporting what was really happening.
They also had wounded soldiers coming back from the Russian Front and they were telling people, "It's just a matter of time."
They didn't bother listening to German Broadcasts because they only reported that they were winning by attrition and the big time offensive was coming.
is it true hitler made call of duty black ops and made nazi zombies
@@MotherMao FR
@@MotherMao yes its true i made it in 1944
its sort of current day America and our war with inflation, its only a matter of time...
"German Broadcasts ... only reported that they were winning by attrition and the big time offensive was coming" Hmm. See, now in present time this is how BBC treats Ukraine reporting. Any loss is a victory by attrition.
In a way, Barbarossa was analogous to Lee's attempt to circle Washington DC and force a negotiated end to the War Between the States. In both cases rapid maneuver and audacity attempted a quick win against a larger enemy with more manpower and natural resources.
A big difference though was that Lee knew that eventual victory was not possible after being stopped at Gettysburg; Hitler thought that being stopped in Russia was just a speed bump.
Fantastic comparison. Never would've seen the similarities if you didn't point it out.
Adolph thought it was just a speed bump after he took another bump of speed.
Lee lost because he wrapped his master plan around a cigar and he either dropped it or it fell out of his pocket. A union soldier found the cigar thinking it was his lucky day only to find Lee's master plan, showed it to his superior, and from their it went to Grant, the other generals, and Lincoln which allowed them to counteract his maneuver. It was a stroke of luck.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 This benefited Lee when he discovered similar plans at another battle, and saved Lee at another major battle when the Union commander (who I will not dignify by naming) didn't believe Lee's step-by-step plans could fall into his hands.
The Civil War could've been over that day.
You of course know of which battle I speak, right?
@@Snarflelocker Are you talking about McClellan lol? He is well known for doing... nothing.

Steiner soldiers:
Ok random 3 year old here is a rifle. Now go shoot tank
So basically Hitler's master plan can be summed up with.
1. Armored blitzkrieg
2. Form pincers
3. Encircle
4. ?????
5. Endsieg?
6. Profit
No, this was the general's plan. War of movement and encirclement is an old Prussian tactic. But it failed in the expanse of the USSR and under overwhelming air supremacy.
To be fair operation Barbarossa was basically
1.) Invade Russia
2.) Reach Moscow
3.) Win
Ja ja Enseig.
@@jacksonmacpherson6101 no, too many steps
the plan was more like
1) Defeat Russia
2) Win
Besides underestimating the resolve of Western Allies, Hitler also "forgot" about the Eastern one - Allies could coordinate their operations pounding Nazis from whichever side was weaker at the moment, to force Germans relocating their forces, and so they did.
Khaleesi moment
Resolve of the western allies? It was Churchill, who was funded by bankers, that rejected any truces (which Hitler offered many times). And if it wasn't for their overwhelming supplies and logistics, the western allies would have not been so anxious to wage war. After all, they used up the Russians before the true battle even began.
@@HuubHeesakkers why should churchill accept peace, when Hitler attacked Poland and betrayed the Munich Treaty ?
@@NewMessi7 Because the British population did not want war but were forced upon it anyways by Churchill - who was funded into power by the big bankers? Who also funded Hitler? WW2 was meant to happen to destroy nationalism in Europe so the European Union could happen and the mass refugees be allowed inside Europe to destroy culture and racial heritage.

"We are short in oil and manpower, what do we do?"
"Assault useless locations to consume more of it"

The Allies won the war not by luck. It wasn't simply a near escape, as some historians might try to argue. The Axis Powers took on a task that was too big for them and were incapable of knocking out key powers because they were very likely completely out of reach and capable of withstanding initial blows. The Allies adapted, regrouped, mobilized, and were able to wear out their overstretched, under-resourced opponents through attrition and economic, technological, and military superiority.
Allied victory was purely a matter of larger natural resources, endless industrial production and the german shortcomings in these areas, particularly fuel and navy
Germany was choked by an economic sea blockade, was unable to fight the British on the water, forcing them to resort to u boat tactics, had too little oil and Hitler had failed to clear house following him taking power
It's unbelievable how many ppl within the german high command were sabotaging hitler's orders
The Germans could have inflicted 10 Dunkirks and 10 more Kiev encirclements, but allied material quantity was simply too much to overcome
Not to mention the ability to pragmatically restrain their personal feelings on certain things in order to achieve mutual goals. Conversely, the Axis was a shaky alliance of convenience characterized by mutual deceit, little coordination, and laughably poor leadership.
Not so sure about the 'technological superiority' but outnumbered, under resourced al of that for sure, but ultimately the west was fooled into fightingvfor their own demise, yoj are losing your countries to 3rd world invaders, you deserve to you fools!
DARWIN AWARDS!
Also, a large reason why the allies lost so hard in the early war was because of an insane amount of incompetence on their part.
Technological? Hah. The only reason the allies won is because of previous subjucation of other nations and lands
10:12 This makes it look like operation citadel was Hitlers idea when, from my understanding, it wasn't. It was an idea his generals had and Hitler actually hated it. Apparently saying "Everytime I think about operation citadel my stomach turns over". I'm not at all defending him at, it's just something I noticed.
Either way he okayed it as at that time he took full charge of everything. Hitler was basically playing a massive game of Strategic Command: World at War only the enemy troops and tanks actually started showing up at his door. Unrealistic Operations with made up cheat coded in units which didn't really exist!
similarly, 16:08 makes it look like nazi high command genuinely believed the ardennes offensive would work, although Model and Von Rundstedt both believed that aiming for antwerp was completely delusional.

When you look at the statistics of economic power population numbers and national military size when it comes to navy air force and army you see that the Axis powers Germany Japan and Italy just couldn't compete for a large scale long term war. They simply didn't have the population economy or military to win against the three biggest most powerful countries the USA British Empire and Soviet Union. In reality it's amazing the Axis powers lasted as long as they did.

"Yes, this will totally counter the superior air force and navy of the British, the industrial and economic might of the US, the totally massive armies of the Soviets, and the rotation of the earth"- An Austrian Painter, midway through his vegetarian dinner
At the start US was not at war and was promoting isolationism. "Superior" RAF does not have the range to get to Germany in their fighters. Germans had numerical advantage over Soviets at the start of Barbarosa.
@@tokul76 true. However, Roosevelt little by little geared the American economy to a war footing. The 1940 Louisiana Maneuvers was the largest peacetime war game ever done in US Army history at that time involving over 40,000 troops. Army Chief of Staff General Marshall was hard at work firing and selecting officers capable of leading a fully mechanized 20th century army.
At least he made it to the rank of (Bohemian) corporal
Say what you like about Hitler but he was some painter. He could do a 2 room apartment in an afternoon. TWO coats! Mel Brookes the Producers
britain, when it was at war with Germany alone did not have the superior air force. Luftwaffe had a much better dive bombing arm and RAF had the edge on the bomber command. Luftwaffe was bigger. BOB was fought over british skies hence the higher losses, the same can be seen when RAF came head to head with Luftwaffe over Occupied European skies from the start of Barbarossa till the Moscow counter offensive.

I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to give single use flamethrowers to barely trained conscripts. Did they at least get carbines for after they were spent? Seems like a moronic waste of Germany’s heavily strained gasoline/petrol reserves by the last two years of the war, too.
@@militustoica Point is, with flamethrower you don't really have to aim in close quarters to kill enemy. And bombing raids from Allies, on top of Soviets already being in city, meant, that vehicles to use fuel on were either useless, destroyed or ineffective.
Soldiers using flamethrowers need to be close in，and they may never get there。A bullet can travel further than a flame。

In 2004, I was in Germany when the film "Der Untergang" (Downfall) came out - the source of all those RUclips clips.
I went to see it with a colleague and, after the end credits rolled, you could have heard a pin drop in the packed theater.
Dont mention the war..
Excellent film. I bought the DVD early this year.
Because the fikm showed us Germans that loosing the war was a huge catastrophy but winning the war would have been much worse for Germany. It was not just Hitler who was a complete psycho but most of his Generals and goverment officials. Those people didn´t want peace and prosperity for the german people they were just there to fullfill their mass psychosis no matter what.
@@piapenske9767 Hitler actually started the war objectively i.e. Poland and the Western countries. The problem was Barbarossa; a purely ideological war. That's when the genuine insanity and inhumanity began to show and play out.
@@DLK96 The war was always ideological. And involved gambles throughout. Eventually the gambler rolls craps.

My dad was in the US armed forces during the Cold War, and he and my mom were stationed in Germany in the late 1970s/early 1980s. My mom told me that she once visited a cemetery there, and practically every family had at least one male member who had died at age 16 or 17 in 1944 or 1945.
Atkinson (Liberation Trilogy) makes that point at the opening of An Army at Dawn. If a male was born in Germany 1920 he had a 1/3 chance of dying in WWII.
They don't mention that when they claim women were oppressed
@@ararune3734 the oppression of a woman is different then what you are trying to say.
Even then countless woman helped the war effort and died for it.
Killed in concentration camps or bombed in factories.
The oppression of a woman politically and economically has been the truth for a long time. There was once the saying in the usa why let a man teach children the abc for 20? Dollars a month when a woman can do it for 5 . And even then why can a woman not oppressed when their husband or son fights and dies? Does the oppression end when such a thing happens or do some things happen at the same time and are quite different ?
Also the ussr did have woman as soldiers though as far as I know they only manned anti aircraft positions and where also famously pilots in the ussr.
Without woman the war effort would have been severely Crippled too

I think it's important to remember that Speer was a diehard Nazi, his refusal to enact the Nero decree merely came from an acceptance of reality.
At least he knew what reality was and accepted it as such. Unlike a certain modern-day orange demagogue in America.

I actually just watched the "Pepe Sylvia" video from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia just before this video, so that picture of Hitler as Charlie Kelly got me good.
"The world rejected his vision and he sought to punish it, starting with his own people."
That hit different with the music.
That felt real, like man that guy had a hatred for his opponents.
@@hungrymusicwolf not all his opponents. The Western ones were treated on an equal footing. The problem in his mind were the slavs, jews and the plethora of other undesirables. People keep throwing "he wanted to kill all people" and similar silly statements but the minds of people like stalin, hitler, churchill were complicated. These monsters cared for their own and even that, as entities, as a whole. Not on an individual level.
if he wanted to punish the world why didnt he release the nerve gas stockpiles on allied countries and soldiers? Just one plane would be enough to wreck a large area of people. Retaliation? but didnt he want to punish the world, starting with his own?
@@msreviews5576 well that would require quite a lot of coordination, its not just as simple as unleashing gas back then, in terms of not wanting to kill all people maybe if they were blonde, blue eyed, and white then yeah but anything else will then be used as potential slaves to the factory or execution, african americans and some french Senegalese troops were not given the merciful feeling of surrender and were shot on sight without remorse

I've seen countless vids on WW2/Nazis. This might be the 1st one to ever strike the tone! A clinical deconstruction, with delivery and verbiage that leaves NO question who the assholes were... and that they weren't brilliant strategists, nor gifted military leaders... that they were narcissistic lunatics completely detached from reality! Je dis bravo!!!
To be fair, you can be a gifted military leader and a narcissist lunatic. For example, Manstein.
@@nicolaszan1845 That's a bizarre and questionable post. No one said narcissists can't be intelligent nor capable. I was referring to the fact that the Nazis, THESE narcissists in general, were terrible strategists/tacticians who "got lucky" with the blitzkrieg. Similar to someone who has no real understanding of Chess using a "fool's mate" . They might trick another novice or someone who wasn't paying attention but, they stand no chance against a real player.
This is actually largely due to allied propaganda campaigns after the war. When creating a west german military they tried to whitewash the german strategists and generals in order to have the people be willing to join the army.
@@hickspaced2963 Nope. The Nazis and German army were SPECTACULARLY defeated, this is fact. And... it was their second loss on the world stage. They were poor strategists in general, with solders hopped up on speed, wasting more time making fancy shiny boots for flashy uniforms and trying to committ genocide than actually winning the war they started. As the joke goes... "Hitler never played Risk as a child". They had a gimmick... that was it. I do find it amusing when people talk about the losers as if "they" were the brilliant strategists. Similar to people who pretend the Confederate army were the smart ones... as they got curbstomped by the US army.
@@CaptainKirkDiggler yeah thats my point, however after the war many generals were allowed to blame the failed strategies solely on Hitler and the nazi higher ups. This in order to be able to create a new german army in west Germany by distancing the army from the many atrocities committed during the war.

@@ethank5059 but he still succeeded in taking over more than 13 countries....
