China

2021-01-29 00:32:12 UTC  

they got sunk though

2021-01-29 00:32:18 UTC  

The middle east

2021-01-29 00:32:23 UTC  

It was a world war.

2021-01-29 00:32:28 UTC  

well Italy was with Germany, but Italy never was ablee to do much due to poor location I believe

2021-01-29 00:32:37 UTC  

that and poor leadership

2021-01-29 00:32:38 UTC  

Nope

2021-01-29 00:32:42 UTC  

Poor tactics

2021-01-29 00:32:54 UTC  

Japan was fighting on russia's rear end

2021-01-29 00:33:03 UTC  

so yeah they were all together

2021-01-29 00:33:03 UTC  

Italy could have taken Greece, but their commanders were more concerned with making the others look stupid rather then trying to take Greece

2021-01-29 00:33:21 UTC  

Mussolini was just a horrendous leader

2021-01-29 00:33:35 UTC  

So were his generals.

2021-01-29 00:33:41 UTC  

yeah lol

2021-01-29 00:34:01 UTC  

Bourbon, of course there was cooperation in fighting Russia.

2021-01-29 00:34:09 UTC  

I believe the phrase was, "winning a game of chess, against a man who only knew how to play checkers

2021-01-29 00:34:18 UTC  

at least until Kesselring got involved

2021-01-29 00:34:32 UTC  

Everyone was fighting Russia. You didn't have to be Axis to be fighting Russia.

2021-01-29 00:34:39 UTC  

Finland proved that.

2021-01-29 00:34:47 UTC  

Fun Fact: Kesselring was the guy whos name would be used in the infamous Kessel Run from Star Wars

2021-01-29 00:34:50 UTC  

And fighting greece, China, and Canada.

2021-01-29 00:35:19 UTC  

What meaningful cooperation was there in those cases, Bourbon?

2021-01-29 00:35:54 UTC  

Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.

2021-01-29 00:35:54 UTC  

Hitler was a good leader in terms of charisma and lifting his people out of the depression, I am NOT saying he was a good person, but his people did technically elect him, so he did something to win them over. As a general, Hitler was an absolute buffoon

2021-01-29 00:36:05 UTC  

not completely

2021-01-29 00:36:17 UTC  

Like.... what? Which offensives did they plan together?

2021-01-29 00:36:27 UTC  

for example, his generals wanted to continue grinding on Moscow

2021-01-29 00:36:28 UTC  

He made some calls that a 12 year old could've done better

2021-01-29 00:36:29 UTC  

Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.

2021-01-29 00:36:31 UTC  

Which grand strategy did they formulate together?

2021-01-29 00:36:35 UTC  

Canada was just constantly weeding out their spys.

2021-01-29 00:36:49 UTC  

and he said no sit still and starve

2021-01-29 00:37:01 UTC  

Mhm

2021-01-29 00:37:05 UTC  

Just because they weren't shooting at each other doesn't mean they were allies. It just means they weren't enemies.

2021-01-29 00:37:07 UTC  

no, that was Stalingrad, which was an entirely different can of beans

2021-01-29 00:37:18 UTC  

oh yeah my bad

2021-01-29 00:37:26 UTC  

still a stupid choice though

2021-01-29 00:37:40 UTC  

Financial and resource support.

2021-01-29 00:37:44 UTC  

Hitler ordered the 6th army south to take the southern oil fields he knew they needed to be able to maintain their Panzer Divisions

2021-01-29 00:37:44 UTC  

and Normandy was a complete flop

2021-01-29 00:38:13 UTC  

that was more due to the ingenious plan to fool the germans into thinking that they were landing in calais
