he had no way of getting it

if he took saudi arabia

no pipeline

certain british counterattacks

not that he had anyway of getting there on land

or sea

he didn't even have enough stuff to get to the urals

as eastern europe is mud and dirt roads

and blitzkrieg does not work as there is nothing but shtetls and mud and woods

BLITZKRIEG WORKS BEST AGAINST INDUSTRIAL TARGETS THAT CAN BE SEIZED

EASTERN EUROPE WAS MOSTLY PRE-INDUSTRIAL

HOWEVER

HE WOULD HAVE HAD TRAINS

AND COULD HAVE INCREASED SHIPPING

BUT THIS WOULD HAVE CONFLICTED WITH SOME OTHER AIMS

I THINK HIS ERRORS IN THIS AREA ARE OVERSTATED

WHILE HIS MILITARY/LOGISTICAL ERRORS ARE UNDERSTATED

THE SOCIALIST BASIS OF HIS SOCIETY, HOWEVER,

WAS THE ELEMENT OF FAILURE: IT BECAME IDEOLOGICAL INSTEAD OF PRAGMATIC.

Hitler didn't fix Keynesianism. For one, the plans preempted Keynes whereupon Keynes remarked on them in his *General Theory*.

The immense debt taken on by the National Socialist state was overbearing to the point where it would have been eventually forced to take drastic action, and very well may have been. Look up their system of promissory notes -MEFO bills - and see how such a system would necessitate failure unless met with miracle.

And: they were not "Socialists," in the literal sense. The name "National Socialist" was a suggestion from Rudolf Jung, whom also wrote the goals and ideas of National Socialism in his *Der Nazionale Sozialismus* some years earlier. Hitler wished to call the party the Revolution Party or somesuch.

They were more akin to Fascists, but at the same time not explicitly so. A good source on this is Evola's "Notes on the Third Reich."

@diversity_is_racism yes

he had no goal

or enoguh stuff

to conquer russia

yet alone enslave the population

and make lebemsraum

he needed a million horses

just to get his men to the urals

which he didn't have

500,000 off road trucks

he had 40k

and 100k civilian ones that just broke

mostly french

Everyone here types in such an odd manner.

meant for french paved roads

@diversity_is_suicide Who do you think is better? The Hapsburgs or the Hohenzollerns? They could make mighty fine bedfellows if their current stock is as good as their ancient stock. Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Austria would do well being unified with a Monarchist Germany but...some Royals might have to change their names and move to Brazil with their less than qualified offspring...

Hohenzollerns believed in eugenics, so there's an obvious point for them.

Hohenzollerns didn't breed themselves out of existence
