Von Rundstedt hit the nail on the head here. Goering was the designated successor of Hitler and if Germany had won the war (as this scenario...
This "what if" scenario is entitled "What if Nazism shifted into a more moderate tone and disregard [sic] racial purity" but then goes on to ask...
Just an observation of my own. There weren't even a million Jews in all of Germany, let alone enough young males in the population to provide an...
I think such a preemptive attack by the Soviet Union on Germany would have been disastrous in the extreme for Stalin and the Soviets. Remember...
Actually, if Germany had not invaded the Soviet Union they could have turned almost their entire Luftwaffe against the western powers, both over...
Actually, the Germans who were forcibly resettled didn't just come from territory that was officially German in 1938, before the war. The...
Sloniskp, I realize your nationality compels you to defend Russia but the facts simply don't support your position. As you yourself admit, even...
I'd be suspicious about claims like this. There are many similar claims about people "lost to time" and living traditional lives as if the last...
While I'll agree with you that a lot of Russians did identify with Stalin as defender and leader of their nation, you are clearly exaggerating...
Good post Za Rodinu. Hitler had to maintain the initiative, both politically and militarily. By sitting back on the defensive Hitler would simply...
Good post, tikilal. (Did I ever tell you I work at an archaeological site just west of Tikal? Nice avatar.) I think I should point out that WWI...
As far as I know, Stalin wasn't half as interested in invading Poland as Hitler was. Hitler wanted to take over Poland; Stalin didn't invade until...
Well, Arabs are circumcised, so that takes care of them. As for the Germans and British, I've never heard of any "equipment" failures of this sort...
I'm not American but I live in Texas. Maybe it's my German background, but if there is one thing I can't abide it is illegality. Law and order are...
The whole thing was silly and illustrative of what our world has sunk to. Simply pandering to the public. "YOU will decide what the new seven...
Kojiki, the earliest history of Japan, written in 710 AD.
You guys all keep referring to Napoleon but keep forgetting that the analogy closest in time wasn't Napoleon's attack on Russia but Germany's...
They planned on defeating an army whose leadership was in disarray and whose people didn't support it. Hitler thought that the Soviet state would...
Well, I couldn't disagree with you more, Friedrich. The Germans were lousy strategists? Utter nonsense. You yourself just listed a whole series of...
There's an option I hadn't considered. However, with Hitler I just don't see that as an option. By 1941 he was deadset on attacking Russia, not...
