The problem with Blitzkrieg was logistics, they didn't have the horses to sustain the drive.

Blitzkrieg wasn't perfected until America adopted it, because only America had the horsepower.

This was however rendered largely irrelevant by Dr. Teller and two stage fission fusion critical mass.

The Germans invoked that it was a "new kind of war" because the Bolsheviks were a new kind of enemy, basically liquidate Stalin & Co before they liquidate you, because that's what they will do if they get to Berlin.

And Stalin was indeed poised to march on Berlin, Hitler simply preempted him, which is why so many Soviet formations were ripe for the encirclement, as they were in an attack formation and not prepared to defend.

Little bits of History Dan Carlin is never going to tell you.

Like I told you, the war was for the British Empire, which then dropped the ball, and America had to come to the rescue, but America was not coming to save the Raj.

Otherwise, Hitler was supposed to be the Bulwark Against Communism in Europe.

Hitler was in fact on our side, until he flipped to Mussolini in the Med, making Germany a threat to the Empire therein, since the entire Empire hinged on Suez.

The war kicked off in Ethiopia, not Poland, and in Ethiopia, Germany sided with Britain and France against Italy

It wasn't that America was against Hitler intitially. America was very fond of the Third Reich on the whole. Certain elements, didn't like it. To what extent can we blame the English for netting us into it though? That's the real question. I think by now we all know Pearl Harbor was set up along with the Lusetania and the other piece of shit that blew up sparking the Spanish American war.

Hitler did not want war with Anglo-America, Hitler idolized the British, and he wanted to emulate America's conquest of the West, he was just going to do it in Russia, and the Slavs were like the American Indians so far as Hitler was concerned, savages in the way of progress, progress being a post scarcity utopia for the Germans.

The plan was that Hitler would destroy the Bolsheviks for Europe, but it was never the plan to try to take the British Empire, Hitler assumed the British would be reasonable, and not blow themselves up for Poland.

In terms of the Americans, the Americans were saying America First, as in they did not want to get involved, so Hitler banked on that.

Edward the VIII nominally supported the Germans. I mean he was basically a fucking German. He spoke the language fluently and was of ancestry German. It was quite possible he would have never went along with war against the Germans and what's more, he had the people on his side. How the fuck can Queen Elizabeth be considered a legitimate monarch once she took the throne after his untimely coup? Well that's the real reason why Britian is a prisoner colony.

Henry Ford was literally doing peace convoys to stop the madness. He was flanked by Jews that told him he was going nowhere with it and that plans were already in the works. That's why he became an "anti-Semite."

I am German. North German Protestants for the win. Kaiser Bill was our cousin, Hanover and Prussia united.

Hitler was a South German tho, the Austrians brought the Prussians down, twice.

How you been, Ohio? Hows the equity market treating you?

Just fine actually. Awaiting the next death-defying plunge, to top off my tanks.
