At this moment, Germany lost the war

At this moment, Germany lost the war...

Yeah, sure bud. Go kiss the queen's feet some more.

was Churchill's alter boy

Nice 20-20 hindsight my dude

Germany lose the war after Htiler ordered to wait for the new tanks at Kursk

Hitler lost when he put that morphine addict in charge of the luftwaffe, got ballsy and attacked russia before taking care of Britain, and fucked over guderian at moscow.

Hitler 1933-1939: did nothing wrong
Hitler 1939-1945: did everything wrong

What changed?

Operation uranus.

I'd argue that it was this moment:

that wasnt the only fuckhueg useless idea of his

>1933-1939: did nothing wrong
>invades Rhineland
>literally nothing wrong

Dude those years were some of his most stupidest moves, had no military at the time and was shelling out a lot of money at small chances. If he had any resistance at all, nazi would have been BTFO by 1939.

small military*

Since i know youll argue me about ">no military"

Isn't this kind of a meme though? Russian tanks were rapidly progressing through the war.
The german army recommended using multiple tigers to take on a single IS2, the panzer IV had serious trouble penetrating t34/85 for example. And germany couldn't afford that even if only because of a lack of manpower.

he correctly anticipated french cowardice and that they would give it up without a fight, he didn't need a military as you admitted in that freudian slip

>>Hitler 1933-1939: did nothing wrong
>militarized the Rhineland when he had no military capability to enforce his will if the French attacked
>alienated all his neighbors
>crashed the Reich's economy with no survivors by ramping up military spending to unsustainable levels
>put the Reich in such severe debt that it literally had to invade and loot its neighbors to not default and collapse
>debt was several times government budget

>>Hitler 1939-1945: did everything wrong
>correctly predicted that the best way to take apart the alliance arrayed against him would be defeat in detail
>took over Czechoslovakia and negated its million-man army without firing a shot while gaining tons of materiel
>correctly predicted that the French Army was too plodding at the time to interfere with his conquest of Poland
>advocated for a quick mechanized war in Poland that others were skeptical about, resulting in a great five week victory with only 50,000 German casualties to nearly ten times that many Poles
>overrode the High Command in favor of Manstein's Plan when it came to the Battle of France
>this resulted in France being BTFO much faster than even the optimistic projections of the OKW had dreamed
>correctly pointed out that attacking the well-entrenched British forces at Dunkirk would just lose him precious tanks for little gain, and so nixed Guderian's planned drive forward in favor of just letting the British abandon their materiel to him
>gave great funding to the U-boats, at a time where the surface Kriegsmarine and his allies the Italians were still battleship autists

heavy gustav was built WAY before anybody knew about what the soviets had for tanks, this was 1930 when krupp sat down to put this on paper, this is some old trench warfare doctrine design at its worst.

Methamphetamine happened

sorry it was 1934-35

cont.

>U-boats end up inflicting wildly disproportionate losses on the British shipping and navy
>called off the Blitz after it was proven to be doing negligible damage to the British war effort at the cost of thousands of planes, even as Goering and other generals continued to insist they could beat Britain
>left the planning of Barbarossa up to his generals, but this was actually something of an error as they were mouth-wateringly optimistic to an extent that he wasn't
>gave a hold fast order after the Battle of Moscow failed, letting the Germans continue to hold on and inflict disproportionate casualties on the Soviets rather than get routed like they should have by the early 1942 counter-offensive
>sidelined Brauchitsch and promoted Manstein to General then Field Marshal
>had heavy reservations about the Battle of Kursk and only went along with it because all his generals insisted
>wanted to withdraw completely after Citadel failed to reach its objectives, which would've left the battle as a solid German tactical victory where they mauled the Soviets, albeit one that didn't match expectations
>ordered a withdrawal of SOME of the Panzer units prior to the Soviet counter offensive at Kursk rather than all (albeit this was probably for the wrong reasons, it was still the right choice), which saved those units from complete annihilation as happened to all those still left
>correctly predicted that the Balkans were a target of an allied diversion, and that the real invasion would come in Italy, so only let his generals post second-rate troops there while diverting the first-rate ones to Italy

Overall Hitler was actually an effective military leader. Most of his famous fuck-ups were occasions where his generals were in full agreement, whole many of Germany's greatest victories required his direct intervention to succeed. This "brilliant generals, stupid Hitler" thing is a meme pushed by post-war memoirs of generals desperate to cover their own asses.

That gun was being built in the thirties when the Maginot Line was being built. It was rendered pointless after the Manstein Plan worked. What were they going to do in a total war situation? Not use it?

>U-boats end up inflicting wildly disproportionate losses on the British shipping and navy
Care to quantify "wildly disproportionate"?

The entire German panzer force in the east wouldn't have been enough to stop the Soviets at Kursk mate.

During their peak of atlantic raiding, U-Boats were sinking 600-700 thousand tons of ships every month.
