Best are Stallingrad, The Fighting Lady, Avengers: End game. captain Marvel and The Longest Day, these are best so far, infact I saw all of them by using coupons through Florida Ticket Station, if you need to watch them, you can easily buy tickets from there.
What decided WWII?
-
I trying to make a bigger point… most people call you “less intelligent” if you have logistics over “crafted” weapons… I disagree and think that the germans were stupid in glitching it up in the beginning… the allies knew how to win a war…
I dunno. The Germans had pretty good logistical support going into the war… in fact, much of German doctrine was concentrated over logistics versus superior numbers.
-
the axis knew how to win a war too. there were many problems plaguing the axis that prevented them from victory. not least of which, the size of the area they were fighting in (Europe, into Africa and Asia, on two fronts. ) when you have essentially two countries fighting in an area that big against enemies of that size and power (US, UK, Russia), the odds are not in your favor. combined with many other factors, thats what screwed hitler and decided WWII.
-
Yeah, fighting across a 3,000 mile front generally isn’t a good thing…
-
I’d say the anti-semitism and “people without room” policy decided it.
No, that wasnt it.
Thanks for sharing your indeed very deep thoughts.
-
It didnt deserve a deep response, because that was most definetly not the deciding factor. my remarks were sufficient.

Well just imagine if those Jews had faught in the German army. You’re talking about a million-plus soldiers here. Plus German Jews were some of the toughest ones around. I believe German Jews won more (or had a higher percentage) “Blue Max” (the German medal of Honor) awards than any other ethnicity in the German army during WWI.
-
Imagine the jewish scientists had not left.
That means, no Einstein letter to Roosevelt. (And if Italy behaved similarily, what about Fermi?)What does that mean: A nuclear bomb on top of a ballistic missile.
Guess that would never have decided the war.And of course: The jewish part of the economy would not have been stolen or brought out of the country by their owners as long as there was time. Germany would not have suffered of an intellectual and financial drain.
Last but not least: If the germans had not seen the slaves as inferior, they could have come as liberators (which the ucrainians and white russians thought they would be in the beginning). Means: way less guerillas active against them, more volunteers for the Army or Waffen SS.
Surely these points would not have had any impact at all.
Oh, btw: Janus, please do not answer this. It would be a waste of space.

Give me evidence…

the general idea… but then who had overpowering odds… the gemans could have produced masses of weapons but they liked too much tech’s…

Give me evidence…
Only other than the fact that that was the main German initative in Russia. :-? “5 tanks right now is much better than 10 tanks in an hour” Straight from a German General’s mouth

Falk, you cannot predict how the world would be different if even the smallest thing were changed. had Einstein not left Germany, and Fermi not left Italy, there would not necessarily have been a nuclear weapon produced there as a result.
Surely these points would not have had any impact at all.
Sarcasm noted, and appreciated. nonetheless, as ive said before, and will say again, no one or two points decided the war. It was a combination of everything that took place. change any one thing, and the future would have been changed, but the outcome of the war would not necessarily have been different (i.e. germany losing, though the specifics may have been different)
Oh, btw: Janus, please do not answer this. It would be a waste of space.
Let me respond to this in the following, pre-censored for Yanny’s sake.
Falk is the greatest guy in the world. He truly is such a great guy. Im so happy that I know such a great guy. -
But you did notice that this “one thing” would have changed “many” things?
Second: As you correctly noticed, all we can do here is predict. No matter how many things we change as our assumptions, all that follows is prediction. Thus, you saying you know you are right is pretty “weak”. One changed thing could have decided the course of the war, no need to, sure, but how can you rule it out definitely???
I don’t mind if people are sure that they are right. I mind if they stop listening and explaining. And i am not the firstone to notice that your style of “discussing” does not belong to the most productive ones. “Productive” here does not mean “necessarily reaching a consensus” but “sharing thoughts, opinions, facts etc.”. -

That is not logistics :-?
-
How is it not?

@TG:

Logistics is supply of bullets and beans… I’ll write later to expound on it gtg…
-
No, logistics also deals with materiel and personnel.

@TG:

True… I’m not saying it isn’t it just doesn’t prove the german doctrine was logistical… the Russians had both the 5 on the battlefield and ten in a hour… which one had logistics :wink: ??
-
Actually, I was wrong gasp yes, you heard right.
It was a single thing which decided WWII, in fact, it was a single man.

……Hitler.
Think about it. If it werent for Hitler, Germany never would have had the antisemitism Falk is hooked on, there wouldnt have been an Operation Barbarossa. His arrogance couldnt have doomed the Germans on DDay.
The list is endless. If it werent for Hitler, Germany wouldnt have lost WWII (they wouldnt have gotten into WWII either, but thats beside the point).:roll:

@TG:

yeah, but even if they only fought on a 50 mile front the Russian guerrilla’s would have destroyed there logistics anyway and it is much easier to hit a 50 mile wide logistics line then 3,000… with 3,000 there harder to hit…
-
They also have a helluva harder time with their supply lines on a 3000 mile front. True, the larger the area the attacker has, the better for him, but when fighting a two front war, with powerful enemies on both sides, the size of each front for two countries to be fighting on takes a serious toll. The Germans may have actually fared better with a 50 mile front on the Russian side.
