How did Nazi Germany do it?

It looks to me that Germany, with an annexed Austria, managed to put almost the whole of Europe + North America through the ringer.

Blah, blah, blah "they lost lol".meme, on multiple occasions Germany thrashed opponents, in a multi-front war. How?

They had a lot of shock & awe on their side. The rest of Europe just really didn't want to fight and they were not prepared to fight. WW1 was supposed to be that last war, so when it was over people didn't want to spend money on war anymore. The powers of the world even agreed to stop building any more battleships for a while. People looked back on "The Great War" and said "Never Again! Peace Rules From Now On!" Never again will we send our sons to the trenches to die for their country! Never again!

And so when the Nazis started taking over places, nobody was really sure how to react. People said "Hitler doesn't REALLY want another war does he? Let's just leave him alone, he'll stop soon enough......"

>managed to put almost the whole of Europe + North America through the ringer
>North America through the ringer
The U.S. mopped the fucking floor with everything sent their way, even the elite divisions sent during the Bulge. The only thing that stood a chance was Metz and that's because the U.S. couldn't realistically do anything about it due to the command structure of the Western Front. Canadian troops were almost solely responsible for the creation of the Falaise Pocket, although it was U.S. troops that closed it. Hell, even the half dozen or so Mexican pilots that made their way to Europe had multiple air kills with no losses. Grossdeutschland didn't stand a chance against North American ubermensch and even hinting at NA being put "through the ringer" is laughable.

Chill out Jimmy bob

>Billy Bob Cletus McJesus
>defending Canada or Mexico, least of all during the Good War

If you think that's impressive, look at that one
A country in a state of civil war took on the entire world AND WON

My tata being 5'2 Mexican born man with a BAR was credited with 7 German kills in Italy 44'. That to me proved right there that Germans are no damn ubermensch if a short wetback could outshoot and fight 7 Aryans manlets.

when your entire plan is doomed as hell people will let you get away with things. they take care of themselves and wait for someone else to mop you up.

You're alright Mexico, even if der Fuhrer has bad things to say about you. Annexation soon, mijo.

>Blah, blah, blah "they lost lol".meme
You need to spend less time on here if you actually don't know how to use proper words

You've already annexed some of us

Soon we'll grab what's left. You, Canada, Central America. It's gonna be YUGE.

That reads exactly like the sort of bullshit b8 threads around here do

war isnt won or fought through Veeky Forums memes, it's about logistical capabilities, force projection, and the like.

this was done all while almost 2 million Germans were on the eastern front, and millions upon millions had died fighting the Soviets.
The fact that the Germans were capable of ANYTHING at that rate, especially as much as an unexpected kick to the dick as the Bulge was, was impressive on Germany's part.

lmfao.

Focusing on giving anyone universal internet access was a mistake

you forgot the viking false-flag/shit-talking thread

>How?

German were hiveminded automoton weirdos fuled by butthurt and rage. They simply had the inclination of war while no one else did. After WW1, the UK and Frances goal was to keep the peace at any cost, Hitler knew this, so he basically just threatened war until he got what he wanted. He bluffed and bullied his way into rebuilding the German army, re occupying the Rhineland, annexing Austria, and taking the Sudetenland. then he figured they were giant pussies anyway, so he invaded Poland thinking they would do nothing.

Then Britain, who wasnt ready for war, had to drag France in as well by her heels to fight Germany. And Then Germany bitched slapped them both down, while also invading Denmark, Norway, Czechoslovakia, and Greece.

not really, anyone can throw away men pointlessly

Yeah that's an unstoppable machine right there.

>all by one country
that could be worded as
>everyone does nothing to stop a German military buildup right in the face of your treaty
>a shitload of Europe falls in the blink of an eye
>defeat one of the most competent armies of ww1 in a matter of weeks
>drive the British Empire into a defensive island
>on top of all this kill million upon millions of Soviets until you are eventually brought to a blood-soaked halt
yes, they lost, they also punched far above their weight

>>defeat one of the most competent armies of ww1 in a matter of weeks
actually holds no substance, you were better off sticking with the other claims, this one just blatantly makes you look dumb

France was an absolute heavyweight of ww1, and their sudden capitulation against Germany in ww2 was the cause of much shock to governments at the time.

Hitler didn't want a war. We know this from the captured Nazi documents.

He didn't even want war with Poland for a long time and signed the non-aggression pact with them in 1934. Goebbels thought that if France or Britian provoked war they had the Poles on their side.

Everyone thought France had the best army in Europe.

However, in summer of 1939 Hilter was extremely angry with the new Polish goverment that was anti-nazi wanted a war with Poland but not the UK and France.

Efforts were made by Mussolini and France to avoid war after Sept 1st that ironically fell apart because the diplomats attempting to organize a second Munich had low morale this despite Hitler, Mussolini, and Reynaud all wanting peace.

Britian wouldn't budge and demanded Hitler withrdraw from Poland.

France didn't want war, and we know that Gamlin didn't thnk they could go on the offensive until 41.

Hitler didn't want war and gambled France and England didn't care about Danzig. Records show he was about to have a mental breakdown because he thought he was fucked until the phoney war revealed UK and France were playing defense.

Mussolini was also freaking the fuck out because italy wasn't going to be ready for 5 more years and a second munich originally came from him.

I want to know why Chamberlain and the UK parliament felt a sudden need to fight over Danzig. He want from being a pushover appeaser to a throwing the British Empire into a war that would destroy the British Empire over a german port city returning to germany.

Why give Poland an absolute guarantee? It makes no sense?


Germany was so successful for the same reason Napoleon was.

The general stuff understood the combat methods of the first war, the ones that France would employ thinking it would win them a second war, and how to counter it.

Napoleon understood the old tactics used by Archduke Charles and smashed him to bits. However 15 years later Prussia, Russia, and Austria learned what Napoleon ...

It really isn't that the Germans were that good, so much as the cucks in charge of Britain and France were really that bad.

Once everyone else got with the program and started playing catchup, the third reich was doomed.

did and used it against him causing battles turn in to multiday affairs with large casualties.

WWI saw defensive strategies win with big slow moving tanks paired with infantry. Germans used fast moving panzer divisions to beat up the slow outnumbered french tanks and to punch hole sin defensive lines.

By 1945 everyone knew how germany did it and was using those tactics against germany.

>elite troops
>battle of the bulge

No. Many of the german troops were green. And all of them were poorly supplied.

The americans didnt "mop the floor" with them in N Africa or Italy either. But they did control the sea and had way more in terms of equipment, supply and troops.

Lmao force projection faggot.

You kill yourself

Bullshit. Hitler needed war. His war machine was costing more than Germany could pay. He needed the loot.

T. Nazi apologist

>Half the countries were controlled by the Brits or French already.

>5th Panzers
>7th Army
>green
You should close your mouth before a fly makes its way in there during your blustering.

Hitler fully revealed his desire for war when he let troops march into the Sudetenland, despite the Brits being willing to just grant it to him diplomatically. He wanted to be like his idols Bismarck and Alexander by doing conquest, not diplomacy, which also showed that he understood jack shit about both of them.

>on multiple occasions Germany thrashed opponents, in a multi-front war. How?
Germany was tactically rather adept due to their experiences in WW1. They fought a losing war with limited resources before and maximised their tactical potential.

However, the lesson learned from WW1 and WW2 is that you can't win a war by fighting really well. You need to be able to convert your victories politically and that's where Germany failed on both occasions.

>By 1945 everyone knew how germany did it and was using those tactics against germany.
It wasn't just a matter of the others having adapted but more importantly: Germany had run out of steam. Without fuel, you can't operate but you get stuck.

>gramps mopped the floor with 88 1337 divisions on his own!
>USA! USA!
Heehee, that's why I consider you guys untermenschen. ´They fought children and pensioners and had the whole world's economy backing them. Still bragging about it.
Go armwrestle a 5 year old to feel like a hero. and stay on your side of the pond already

>By 1945 everyone knew how germany did it and was using those tactics against germany.
you mean 1942

>Blah, blah, blah "they lost lol".meme, on multiple occasions Germany thrashed opponents, in a multi-front war. How?
What multiple occasions? What multi-front war?

They thrashed France in a non-multi-front conflict. That was pretty solid.

Then they achieved great initial successes in a surprise attack on the Soviet Union... but failed to reach their initial objectives.

Then they started losing in the east.

MENA was not even a sideshow, we are talking single digits of divisions.

Then they could not oppose the Med landings and the allies gained a foothold in Italy.

Then they could not oppose the France landings and the allies were in France.

Then they lost.

I really don't see Germany thrashing its opponents in a multi-front war. They started out small against the likes of Poland. Then they secured their biggest coup in defeating France. Then they got some early success in the east. And then they started losing.

I wish this wankery over the Germans as some magnificent warriors would end. I know it won't, I just wish it did.

This desu

Most time it was practically Germany vs one country (if you generous and count Germany with Austria as one, not to mention Sloviaka and Soviets helping with first war). Allies did nothing much that send small forces at beast to attacked country what hardly made difference. Third Reich didn't fought on multiple fronts until later in war.

some of their equipment and organization, not talking about wunderwaffes, a light machinegun in every squad helps a lot
the allies and soviets didnt have this (BAR, Bren and DP28 couldnt quite match the firepower/firing rate of mg38 and 42)

their officers and their comradeship, you can read about how in every encounter they take the lead and do it by example
>XY panzer platoon in the front
>6 times injured and went back

tactics and strategy are guidelines, goal oriented

a very well lead and commited fighting force

on the other hand
>france
still in ww1 coma
>britain
same but less harmed than france
>USSR
a rigid command chain where fear is the most motivating factor
>USA
no experience and generally low tolerance for losses
>the rest
outnumbered and outgunned

What I dont get is why did Mexico and otĥer south american states join the war? What id they gain from it, I mean Hitler and the Nazis werent fucking them over.
