Serioulsy though, textbooks are biased. Ater doing some serious reading, I can honestly see why Russians call World War II “The Great Patriotic War” and not World War II. Not once did any textbook in school mention that had it not been for the Soviet Union Hitler could not have been defeated, nor do any textbooks mention the suffering that Stalin imposed on his people and all those he conquered through his purges in order to achieve absolute control. If you think you know anyting about World Wark II, I strongly suggest people look into the war on the Eastern Front more.
hitler would’ve been defeated with or without the soviets’ help. before the eastern front or pearl harbor even popped off, britain repelled operation sea lion (aka the battle of britain) and which is what caused hitler to ultimately invade russia in the first place. and once america got involved and took north africa (and italy) the german war machine was never the same due to lack of resources.
as much as WW2 made the US a superpower, it transformed russia from a nation of farmers into an industrial powerhouse. i mean, when germany first invaded they were sending peasants into battles with rakes and telling them to scoop guns from the bodies of their comrades and by the end of the war they had developed into the strongest land army in the world.
In one of my history books, it said to be wary of large white men…I was like, wtf?
Yep Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and loves black people and FDR sure did do a great job of pulling us out of the great depression:rolleyes:
Ok now im starting to think that maybe the U.S should let Texas secede from the Union.
We don’t need them.
Mine did, actually.
and Thurst, its not like Germany invading Russia wasn’t a huge blow though, they lost half of their army because of the monstrous winter there.
invading russia was a huge error for germany and def expedited their demise…but their end game was to break england from the air and force them to negotiate a peace treaty, once they lost the battle of britain in the air they had no end game which made their defeat inevitable once the US joined the fray.
Javid:
That’s really weird, because all of my textbooks mentioned the Soviet Union’s contributions to the war. The Battle of Stalingrad is almost always specifically mentioned as the turning point in the war. Really though, let’s not forget that part of the reason the Soviet Union was even still in the war was because Hitler underestimated the amount of Soviet troops (and couldn’t predict the weather) available for a counter offensive in December 1941 in the Battle of Moscow. Also, the Russians and British were getting fresh supplies from American factories for the war effort.
Here’s a question (or two), had Hitler won the Battle of Moscow or Stalingrad (and then eventually took Moscow), would the German’s have won the war? What about if Hitler never changed his strategy in the Battle of Britain?
My guess on Stalin’s line of thinking:
Crap, I just murdered most of my generals. Let’s just send a bunch of soldiers to the front lines and be destroyed by the Germans advanced tactics of encirclement. When we see it enough times, eventually we can re-produce it (which they did in the Stalingrad battle).
Coming soon to a neighbourhood near you: dumbass, clueless kids. THE REVENGE!
This time, its personal.
if hitler maintained the “bomb only strategically important targets” gameplan rather than constantly bombarding london i think that would’ve been all she wrote for the UK. the only reason they were even able to mount a defense was due to radar, without those stations they were fighting superior aircraft with inferior numbers.
hitler broke himself trying to take russia
if he had instead sent rommel the resources he needed in africa, desert fox would have WTFPWNEDRAPED the allies in africa, secured the oil they needed, and been in a strong position to fuck shit up
imo
i’m not inclined to believe that rommel would’ve been able to handle joint allied forces in north africa. and even if he could that would open up the european continent for attack. which is why i think once hitler’s plan to force britain to surrender failed his defeat was inevitable, you can’t occupy and defend that much territory with one army…and you certainly can’t occupy and defend that much land…AND attack russia.
if the band of brothers didn’t exist then germany would of won the world war
they single handedly won ever big battle in europe
