    This is what I think: Nazi Germany's plan to invade and conquer Europe, which would include battling against at least three military super powers in air, sea and land operations, was delutional to start with. Yeah, the quick first invasions where impressive but they were not succesfully sustained or replicated. How long could've they stayed occupying "conquered" countries while facing forceful military challenge and civilian resistance or could've they kept a nation-wide war machinery production, economy and way of life. Not for very long I suspect. Not to mention the holocoust horror which was another "front" on its own also guided by delusional ideology. Two years into the six-year war and the light at the end of the tunel was already somewhat visible...that of the train of defeat coming the opposite direction. The whole thing was a suicidal enterpise from the beginning til the end to the point that committing suicide became letmotiv amongst Nazi officers from the very top down. Paradoxically, it'd appear that deep down underlying the ideology of superiority, grandiosity and inmortality there was a death drive towards self-anihilation. On that front, they succeded.

      The Nazis eventually ran short of soldiers to control the nations the Nazis had conquered. Eventually I think the Nazis planned to make the citizens of the conquered nations like Poland or Czechoslovakia slave laborers. As they died off from overwork and starvation, German families would have moved in to Nazify the countries. There were not enough soldiers to serve on the various war fronts as well as maintaining control of these conquered countries. It was definitely suicidal but what I wonder (and I have watched MANY of these docs) is why the German people followed Hitler, treating him as God. I think it was because he preyed on their grievances about the large reparations required of Germany by the victors of WW1. I think they also needed someone to blame for the weak economy and hyperinflation and the Jews were an easy group to blame. Completely unfair and vicious. Most of the generals and admirals got caught up in the war fervor and believe that Germans were supermen. They followed his rules, but the officer corps was eventually decimated due to war deaths and so were the guys in the trenches. And tell me this, if the Nazi soldiers were fine examples of supermen, why were they all provided with amphetamines to keep them awake for long periods during crucial operations? The whole military was rife with amphetamines right up to Goering and Hitler. Some supermen, eh?

      The main problem was that for too long he was allowed to bully Europe exp Britain. Once he got the Sudaten land he thought he could take Poland and the British and French would back down again. They didn't/ He really wanted to get at the Soviets but Poland was in the way. I doubt that if the USSR was on Germany's border in 1939 and Hitler had attacked it that Britain or France would have got involved

      My aunt had a German pen pal in the 1930s as a teenager, and of course, he served in the German Army and their correspondence ceased during the war. He must have been on the Eastern front as well, because he was captured by the Russians and was in a Russian prison camp. I do not know how long he was there but I am sure the conditions led to many deaths of the prisoners. I met him when he came to the US along with his wife to visit my aunt in the late 1970s. They had continued to correspond after the war up to the time he died during the a990s. So I got to meet a guy who had been a Nazi. He was a nice, kind-looking man with a pretty good command of English, though his wife only spoke German; but being my aunt spoke some PA German she and the wife could make out pretty well what each other was trying to say. My husband who is Jewish was at that visit and I don't know if the pen pal knew of his religion or not. That was an interesting visit. My aunt also went to Germany several times to visit him and his family.

    There are many aspects to what caused the rise of Hitler but one of the biggest was the Treaty of Versailles. With hindsight it was insane to inflict such penalties on the people of Germany and simply led to hate, anger, frustration and extreme poverty. These conditions were perfect for extreme political views (right or left) to flourish as was seen in Russia a couple of decades earlier. Fortunately the allies had learnt their lesson and instigated the Marshall Plan at the end of WWII.

      I don’t agree. Although that’s a common misbelief. The Versailles Treaty definitely gave birth to right wing parties in Germany, and was certainly leveraged by Hitler, but it didn’t play nearly the role in his rise to power as many think.
      Keep in mind that Hitler never won an election, nor was he ever going to. The German people were not interested in dictatorship at that point in time. Furthermore, fascism had already come to Spain and Italy, so that tells you that the winds of nationalism were blowing across Europe, and Hitler just rode a wave.

      Yeah plus a bunch of other reasons the treaty was reasonable and Germany was just bitter and used treaty to justify war again

His success throughout Europe were phenomenal. Every campaign was like a hot knife through butter. His only failure was to declare war against the US and invade the USSR. Had he ONLY invaded the USSR, and not declared war against the US, he would have won and could have continued to wear down the UK.

    At about 42:40 a statement that was clearly untrue. Prior to Pearl Harbor it is true that the US was supplying the British, but they were not "piling up men and supplies" for an invasion at that point. In fact, the US would have been quite happy to concentrate on Japan and leaving Europe alone. The reason that the US did not get involved in WWI and WWII early was an aversion among the populace to getting entangled in European wars. In fact, there was much debate in US political and military circles, even after Germany's declaration of war, about who to defeat first. After WWII, the US decided to learn its lesson and remained firmly involved in Europe and Japan after WWII.

      Yes, the Lend Lease Act was passed on March 8, 1941. So yes, before (12/7/1941) Pearl Harbor we were "lending" the UK war materiel. FDR told the American ppl about a simple way to look at Lend Lease: Your home is on fire and you go to your neighbor and ask if you can borrow his hose to put out the fire. He says yes, so you put out the fire and return his hose to him afterward. Well, that was kind of simplified because in reality the UK was not going to return ammo, planes, jeeps, etc. They were going to use them up -- the items would be destroyed in battle. Anyway, I think FDR came up with Lend Lease on a cruise he went on. He sat on deck in the sunshine and formulated Lend Lease in his mind. And none too soon for the UK which was hanging on by a thread. He could send this materiel to our allies while still insisting to American mothers that none of their sons were going to go to war.

He imagined others as well -- his antisemitism, for example. He blamed Jews for everything that went bad in Germany with absolutely no proof of anything they might have been doing; perhaps he equated Jews with Bolsheviks, who he feared. But not ALL Jews were Bolsheviks; but that would not have mattered -- to get rid of the Bolshies you had to get rid of all the Jews to make sure you did a thorough job. His usual mentality when wanting to take over a country by force would be to have some of his thugs create some protests and fistfights in that country, and then say that the country was on the brink of anarchy so he would send in the Wehrmacht to restore order his own pawns destroyed. No "treaty" he signed held any weight. Finally after five or six countries were taken over, they finally realized that you could not take him at his word. They learned to watch what he did rather than what any treaty said. Any time you have a maniac or sociopath with imagined grievances, you better look out because if he attains power he is going to take revenge on everyone who ever said a bad word about him.

    42:18 is incorrect - Hitler wasn’t “furious” with the Japanese over not having been consulted in advance about Pearl Harbor. His staff described him as “ecstatic” and “jubilant,” and Ian Kershaw’s biography quotes Hitler as telling his generals immediately after learning of the attack, “We can’t lose the war at all. We now have an ally which has never been conquered in 3,000 years.” Hitler also praised the Japanese for attacking without a formal declaration of war, saying that it was “great nations” do.

    Outdated documentary...should have started with Munich and Hitler's pledge that he had no further territorial demands within Europe...when he violated this only six months later when he took over all of what was left of Czech., England and France finally concluded one could not deal with Hitler. At that point they issued their proclamation that if Hitler attacked Poland, they would declare war. France did launch an offense after Hitler invaded Poland but quickly lost their nerve and retreated...the war did continue after the fall of Poland but only in the air and on the sea...Hitler invaded Norway because he suspected England planned to invade them first...the Allies fought in Norway and could have held on in northern Norway but panicked when Germany invaded France...and on and on it goes...

Cosa que es incierta puesto que solo se llegó hasta la línea de Brest-Litrov acordada en el pacto Germano-Soviético. Es un fallo muy grave para un canal de historia militar.

      Don't forget his German Shepherd, Blondi, a gift as a puppy from Martin Bormann. Blondi slept on Hitler's bed, but Eva did not like Blondi so she disapproved of that. Blondi went into the bunker with Hitler toward the end. Hitler got cyanide through Heinrich Himmler in case he wanted to use it to kill himself, but he wanted to make sure it was lethal and would work. So the doctor in the entourage gave a capsule to Blondi, who quickly died. When committing suicide, Eva took cyanide while Hitler shot himself.

Sociopaths have NO trouble lying over and over because they have no sense of why someone would be honest and not be out for his own power and wealth. Like when Trump asked someone about the dead soldiers in a cemetery, asking someone, "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" He has no sense of honor, of patriotism, of giving your life for freedom or for an idea -- democracy. He really does not understand anyone's sacrifice. He is INCAPABLE of understanding that. And therefore he expects total loyalty from his employees but gives NONE in return because he is only ever out for himself.

      Well, in regard to the video, I find it interesting that everyone is on the "Hitler stunk as a strategist" or "Thought he knew more than his Generals". The fact is: both were probably true. His success throughout Europe were phenomenal. Every campaign was like a hot knife through butter. His only failure was to declare war against the US and invade the USSR. Had he ONLY invaded the USSR, and not declared war against the US, he would have won and could have continued to wear down the UK.

    Second: why Hitler came to power so smoothly without any outer resistance. Very simple: he was viewed by western powers as a counterweight to Communism in general and Soviet Russia in particular. In such role Hitler was great for Britain and especialy for a sweet couple Chamberlain - Halifax. Chamberlain utterly hated Russia and Russians up to losing adequacy. He was prone to sign any treaty with Hitler. Completely forgetting centuries old British policy of not allowing any continental hegemony in Europe. The Munich agreement was Chamberlain's victory in the sense that he managed to kick out Russia out of European affairs. Britain and France clearly showed that any treaty with Russia was meaningless because all leading European powers acted as if there wasn't such a treaty at all. That in turn greatly misfired for Britain when Stalin - suddenly for the British - decided to wash his hands of European affairs and went into non-agression pact with Hitler.

      Soviets were building up at a massive scale at the same time and were even considering a pre-emptive attack. At least Zhukov wanted to anyway. A few years later it would've been too late and you can't start in the east just as the Western powers were going to be ready to attack as well. Hitler and the rest of the General Staff knew they had till 43 to deal with the east. Also the wounds from Stalin's purges would've healed more by then. There would've been a ton more heavy modern tanks as compared to the terrible bt-7s the Soviets were loaded with at the start of the war. A few weeks EARLIER was actually their best chance. We know how it all ended but it did almost work. Every other nation before USSR cracked at the initial offensive. They hoped it would happen again but even though it almost did the Soviets amazingly didn't collapse even after 4 million casualties in 41 alone! I doubt any other nation could survive that. Look how crazy we in America got after 50,000 casualties in Vietnam...

      The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact allowed Stalin to annex the Baltic States as well. Hitler also used some sort of excuse to get the Czechs to capitulate that, if I'm not mistaken, had something to do with the Slovaks. Slovakia was made a separate country under German domination. It was a Nazi satellite state much like postwar Czechoslovakia would be a Communist satellite state under Soviet domination. Also, consider Imperial Germany's northeasternmost city - Memel. It's a seaport that is now the Lithuanian city of Klaipeda and was part of Lithuania between the wars. Hitler managed to get Lithuania to ceded it back to Germany. It was his last peaceful acquisition of territory.
