Even in their memoirs they NEVER figured it out. They were too busy blaming Hitler and congratulating themselves, which only laid bare their own ignorance:>100km from Moscow:>they just kept coming and running into our own machine gun fire, these poor fools>our strategic position has become untenable, because the enemy has broken through our lines, BUT not my lines, it's someone else's fault!>a few months later>300km from Moscow>repeat>a year later>300 km to Berlin>...They never seemed to figure out what was actually happening to them. Hitler and Manstein seemed to be the only Germans with any kind of strategic thinking, considering they both independently came up with the Sickle Cut (Case Yellow) and Hitler only had the political confidence to push his generals to do it, when Manstein's plan finally reached him (the other generals blocked it from reaching him).
I don't believe you actually read any books about this topic or have any actual support for whatever you are saying here
>>18127703Good! Considering most of the modern research is based on the unreliable memoirs of German generals, which are now slowly being debunked. I am doing something better than reading books! I am watching youtube videos!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOejO3xSOEE
>>18127710You're a fucking retard with nothing valuable to say
>zerg rush with people1941 to 1942>zerg rush with people AND tanks1943-1945
Hitler’s strategic sense was erratic. While he did back the Ardennes plan, his later conduct such as insisting on static defenses, refusing withdrawals, and fixating on symbolic objectives destroyed German operational flexibility.Portraying Hitler as having “strategic thinking” is deeply mistaken. His early willingness to take risks that led to successes on an operational level did not translate into coherent strategy. It eventually led to disaster.
Theres nothing the generals could have done. It was economic. They werent able to churn out enough tanks becauseA. They insisted they be quality builtB. They were operating under capitalism with profits, markets and wages
>>18127753They couldn't churn out enough tanks because they didn't have steel.
>>18127758The burden if proof is on you
>>18127763The burden of proof is actually on you. For >>18127753I provided as much proof as you did for your claims.
>>18127767No huh you just said they ran out of steel
>>18127774You just said the reason for not enough tanks was insistence of quality and because the Nazi economy was subordinated to market forces.
>>18127698Germans are like drone people, they need instructions to function, otherwise they just stand around like lifeless npcs
