    'How can the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War best be explained?'

    This is my topic question for a project at college.

    I will be investigating areas such as:

    Economy
    Germany's Allies
    Leadership
    Supply lines
    Bombing
    Key Battles (Dunkirk, D-Day and Stalingrad)
    Russia

    I am looking for historians viewpoints on why Germany lost, primary and secondary sources, memoirs for instance and general information on these issues.

    I am kind of stumped in terms of reading materials.

    I would be highly gratefull if anyone could help.

    You might want to get your hands on WHY THE ALLIES WON WORLD WAR 2 by R.J. Overy (ISBN: 0712674535 or 978-0712674539). There are numerous copies going cheap on Amazon.

    I just did a 6-page Research essay with my thesis being that 'Because Hitler was the military Commander-in-Chief, Germany lost World War II.'

    Would you like me to send it to you??

    However, be sure, that there is no ONE good explanation...
