Why Germany failed
Germany was on a roll throughout World War 2 and they had not been slowed down by anyone. Their army was unstoppable and no one could stand up to them. Despite their success, Germany was becoming overconfident. They had started expanding their land but they were doing too fast. They wouldn't slow down, and the problem was that their weapon and fuel production couldn't catch up. Germany's supplies were lessening and their speed was increasing. Germany could not catch up which made them retreat from some fights. The second reason why Germany failed was because they were outnumbered and did not have the man power to defeat the allies. They lost Italy and France and Germany was outnumbered in every single type of warfare. By the end, the Germans lost many men while being surrounded by all the allies, which had cost them the war.

Do you think that if Germany hadn't pushed so far into Russia, and stayed well-supplied, they would have been able to win the war?
ReplyDeleteI think that could have been a possibility, but they ultimately would have still been forced into a two-front war. Even with more supplies, they still would have had to deal with the Allies on both sides.
ReplyDeletehow far do you think germany could have gotten if they did "slow down" and they had let their weapon and fuel catch up?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say exactly but they probably would have suffered the same fate. Waiting for supplies and men didn't line up with their idea of Blitzkrieg, moving at a faster pace to surprise the enemy. By waiting the Germans would have given up the one advantage they had over their opponents, and allowed the allies more time to prepare and defeat them.
