>have the best army in the world
>somehow lose
what happened?
>>
>>18490106
the panzers were overweighted, overengineered crap
>>
They had the most prepared army and the furthest militarized civilian society. Once their enemies caught up in militarization they lost its advantages and could not replicate the success of early war.
>>
hitler was so retarded that he didnt think that usa would help europe lol

>>18490106
>constantly running out of raw materials and using shitty replacements
>at war with four top powers (UK, USSR, France, US)
>spend the whole war completely blockaded
the meme that "oh they could have won if they spammed panzer IVs stupid hitler" doesn't solve anything, there's no point building more shittier tanks when you already don't have the fuel for the fewer IRL ones
the realistic way they could have won if by spamming u-boats early war. By 42 it's too late to win the u-boat war, they have to knock the UK out of the war early and hope the lack of lend-lease lets the Russians fall, and those u-boats really had to be built a lot earlier.
Probably the latest that they might conceivably had had a chance is May of 41. Bismarck caused such a panic because the RN only had a few ships fast enough to catch her, and most of those except Hood were hopeless. Still, Hood and Bismarck both sank due to some very lucky shots. If Bismarck had survived, and the Germans get off some good operations with Tirpitz/etc too, then maybe they could beat the RN. Even that is a long-shot though, and doing it so late means even if it works they're still probably 6 months or a year into Barbarossa by then.

The German army humiliated themselves on numerous occasions.
>>
>>18490106
Germans underestimated the power and influence of western Jews. They didn't think USA and Britain would be insane enough to help Soviet Union to survive.

>>18490106
>what happened?
Logistics in Russia
>>
>two front war
>aggressive, not defensive too
>practically also declare war against the rest of the world

>wtf guys how did we lose???
>>
>>18490106
Needed more fuel, among other things.
>>
The best army in the world still can't beat the second through tenth best all combined.
>>
>>18490116
>Germany didn't even enter full military production until the war was basically lost
Lol. Lmao.

Back on topic though having deranged retards and drug addicts running your country won't do you any good. They only got as far as they did because everyone they invaded was either hilariously out of their depth, or at possibly the weakest point in their history. The idea that Germany had the 'best army in the world' is pure propaganda, both theirs and their enemies.
