they should have just gone all in the south

this might be just me, but i get the impression germany never wanted a war with western allies, they wanted a fair 1v1 fight vs soviet union to get their resources, the only problem in that was poland which was a protectorate of Uk/france, and germany already pissed them of with annexation of autria/czechoslovakia

poland was a proverbial red line

they wanted a war with Frenchie

the rest no

doubtfull, germany could win a 1v1 war with every countrry in europe at that time, but they knew britbongs would get involved if they attacked frenchies

yeah

but no modern war is a fair 1v1

Moscow was important to knock out because of the Russian rail network

germany tried every trick in the book to force Uk to sign an armistance
by bombing them into submission,having a U boat campaign and by actively trying to force them to negotiating table

yeah

after the South

reminder

13 peace offers

all of them rejected

Uk knew if they hold out long enough the yanks would get involved and the war is won at that point

before the bombing

the

eternal

Anglo

the britbongs knew that if the germs defeat the soviets they would essentially control the entire european continent.

something no other power could accomplish in history

yeah

basically the same as ww1

muh balance of puwah

Ironically it was the British blockade in WW1 which lead the birth of the Lebensraum idea.

yes and no

there were ideas of lebensraum before ww1

but yes it picked up after ww1

Also keep in mind in ww2 germany had an oil shortage
but in ww1 germany had guano shortage. guano is bird shit and it was used in gunpowder production. germany prduced synthetic gunpowder which was much more expensive at a loss during the entire war.
daily remider that without germs we would still be using bird shit for gunpowder

Yes

germany constatly battled resource shortages in both wars lol

And now the same process results in fertilizer

Also better steel

Because pure oxygen

also in ww2 germany plunderd all grain stocks and all food from netherlands causing a mass famine. i think they did this to all countries they occupied

didn't they also invent wirelessly controlled stuff

sort of?

Idk

iirc they had wireless tanks at Kursk

Well yes communication wise things were wireless
