Had the Strasserites taken over the party Germany's chances in WW2 would be much better

2018-12-27 00:32:51 UTC  

Sure, as a proxy state for the USSR maybe

2018-12-27 00:32:56 UTC  

Yes but you don't take on a massive industrial power considering your resources and military power

2018-12-27 00:32:56 UTC  

lol

2018-12-27 00:33:12 UTC  

The Germans would have won if not for the multi front war

2018-12-27 00:33:37 UTC  

In fact they would have won easily, but because they took too long due to military strain, they were severely weakened by the winter

2018-12-27 00:33:48 UTC  

Possibly

2018-12-27 00:34:01 UTC  

Germany and Italy would need to occupy the Middle East and North Africa in order to last

2018-12-27 00:34:12 UTC  

If not they'd run out of resources before the UK would

2018-12-27 00:34:42 UTC  

You have any idea of how quickly the Germans marched through the USSR? The battle was won, fatigue and the cold allowed for a successful soviet counter attack

Germany couldn't realistically take down the USSR

2018-12-27 00:35:49 UTC  

They would need to get as far as the Urals in order to neutralize them

2018-12-27 00:35:54 UTC  

Germany was fighting on multiple fronts

2018-12-27 00:36:31 UTC  

The fact they even stood a chance is more than enough evidence that the Germans were superior to the soviets in every way other than enduring cold climates

The USSR's equipment, although crude and cheap, was fairly easy to replace

2018-12-27 00:37:39 UTC  

German technology was more advanced but they struggled to replace their equipment after it was taken out of commission

2018-12-27 00:38:20 UTC  

If Albert Speer had been in control of the military industrial complex for a longer period of time before Barbarossa then maybe they wouldn't have such a hard time

2018-12-27 00:38:47 UTC  

But I doubt that they would be able to replace their equipment at the same rate as the USSR

2018-12-27 00:38:52 UTC  

The soviets embody their own materialistic anti-traditionalism in their military tactics

2018-12-27 00:38:58 UTC  

Strength in numbers

2018-12-27 00:39:41 UTC  

The German's tactics were not based on higher numbers, but on superior military strategies

2018-12-27 00:46:36 UTC  

Not only that, instead of being pushed by fear to fight, they were pushed by an actual love for their homeland. The soviets in contrast had order 227.

2018-12-27 01:02:34 UTC  

The "homeland" factor only came in around 1944, and "superior military strategies"?

2018-12-27 01:02:40 UTC  

*looks at operation citadel*

2018-12-27 01:02:50 UTC  

*looks at blitzkrieg*

2018-12-27 01:04:19 UTC  

Germany had multiple military blunders, from the decision to not pursue the BEF at Dunkirk with Panzers until it was too late, to Stalingrad, to Citadel, to North Africa, and so on

2018-12-27 01:04:37 UTC  

They took on the whole of Europe

2018-12-27 01:04:44 UTC  

Let me repeat that

2018-12-27 01:04:50 UTC  

**THEY TOOK ON THE WHOLE OF EUROPE**

2018-12-27 01:05:21 UTC  

In relation to their victories

2018-12-27 01:05:25 UTC  

I have love for my homeland (turtle island) but not the American gov fuck em

2018-12-27 01:05:25 UTC  

what you are talking about

2018-12-27 01:05:26 UTC  

is trivial

2018-12-27 01:05:44 UTC  

What’s good

2018-12-27 01:06:04 UTC  

In tha hood

2018-12-27 01:07:06 UTC  

I’m shitting rn I almost passed out it’s so good

2018-12-27 01:07:57 UTC  

They took over a bunch of nearly defenseless countries, the only notable threat being France

2018-12-27 01:07:59 UTC  

Good job
