China
they got sunk though
The middle east
It was a world war.
well Italy was with Germany, but Italy never was ablee to do much due to poor location I believe
that and poor leadership
Nope
Poor tactics
Japan was fighting on russia's rear end
so yeah they were all together
Italy could have taken Greece, but their commanders were more concerned with making the others look stupid rather then trying to take Greece
Mussolini was just a horrendous leader
So were his generals.
yeah lol
Bourbon, of course there was cooperation in fighting Russia.
I believe the phrase was, "winning a game of chess, against a man who only knew how to play checkers
at least until Kesselring got involved
Everyone was fighting Russia. You didn't have to be Axis to be fighting Russia.
Finland proved that.
Fun Fact: Kesselring was the guy whos name would be used in the infamous Kessel Run from Star Wars
What meaningful cooperation was there in those cases, Bourbon?
Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.
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
not completely
Like.... what? Which offensives did they plan together?
for example, his generals wanted to continue grinding on Moscow
He made some calls that a 12 year old could've done better
Germany fighting with Italians in Greece and the Japanese in China.
Which grand strategy did they formulate together?
Canada was just constantly weeding out their spys.
and he said no sit still and starve
Mhm
Just because they weren't shooting at each other doesn't mean they were allies. It just means they weren't enemies.
no, that was Stalingrad, which was an entirely different can of beans
oh yeah my bad
still a stupid choice though
Financial and resource support.
Hitler ordered the 6th army south to take the southern oil fields he knew they needed to be able to maintain their Panzer Divisions
and Normandy was a complete flop
that was more due to the ingenious plan to fool the germans into thinking that they were landing in calais
