He was empowered spiritually by evil, that was why he had so much outstanding victories.

Infact if you look carefully and study the events of ww2, you'll notice that it wasn't just normal war. By all standards, Hitler should have won. He had only uk to contend with, even France had being occupied.

He had unlimited money and man power to fight, great inventions etc. Infact, he was in a race to even invent the atomic bomb.

But just a smallll mistake. And he lost. FUNNY ENOUGH, HITLER ISNT FROM GERMANY O. IMAGINE

where’s he from?

So what were africans doing when this war was going on

This is an insightful and educating post on what happened in the early years of war... about a movie called 1917 in the first world war it was concluded that Germany started first world war same as second world war tho I never knew their main issues was Russia thought it was Britain....I want to ask why is it that if any issue of war commence Britain (UK, US) will stand up, I mean they are mostly seen in time of war or disaster...are they the only country that has the monopoly to help other nations?... also what's the relationship between Germany and Japan cos I know both are Britain's enemy.

I've seen it ..but a movie was made on "Dunkirk" itself , go and check it out..."greyhound" too is a movie about the allied nations during the war..but from the western view

Russia won most of wwii....U.s came in when Germany had been decimated. U.s was no match for the German war machine. Most of today's engineering came from the German war machine. Damn...

if you have read the book which he wrote in is word. he is a pure 'Christian' and he defended it with all his heart. there was nothing spiritual about his victories.

he was a oratory psychopath who believed Germany was humiliated in the first world war.

he sought revenge and he carefully planned it.

as said above the tactical missteps of not seizing Moscow and the subsequent winter that clog Hitler machine was the reason he lost to Russia.

he would have conquered the British but the British homeland had a strategical advantage over other European countries it was an island country not land border with any country.

that was why the British made use of her naval fleet to defend. despite that hitler was able to delivered 'V2 ' bomb (one of the most advanced then).

he believed in the superiority of the Aryan race he is a pure German.

Germany was a leading scientific country. after the war America stole all thier leading scientist and they were never punished instead they were given amnesty and they were the ones that delivered most of the advance tech to USA.

So what were africans doing when this war was going on

in the most part of Africa they were purely oblivious of what was going on in the war.

though Britain later came to Africa to recruit for her expeditionary forces that took nigerian forces to Burma to fight the Japanese soldiers.

one key thing to note about this force was that they were given guns but not shoes

one funny thing about the WWII was that after the German forces seized France. he ordered that Paris shouldn't be bombed he traveled there to snap pics at the Eiffel tower he was a lover of art.

I can't help but enjoy this thread.


Please no derailing...

not a bad review

Hitler and his mustache....he couldn't rule forever

Very educative, could have read some supportive books, but hate reading

half truth doesn't help in a good post like this. If Russia won WWII, who defeated the Germans from the sea, who defeated them from the air?. How was Germany pushed back from France and western Europe all the way back to Germany? or are you saying Russia somehow circumvent Eastern Europe to get the western part to push back the Germans?
You may not like America that's fine, a lot of people don't either, but the truth whether you choose to deliberately ignore it or not is that WWII was won by a collective effort

To understand why the UK and US went to war against germany, you first have to understand what happened during the first world war. When germany was defeated in WW1, the victors ( france, US and Britain) imposed sanctions on germany which crippled the german economy.
Some Part of germanys territory was also cut out and given to poland.

Hitler had fought as a soldier in ww1 and hated the sanctions imposed by the alies on his country. Many german people identified with hitler and hated the sanctions that had brought great suffering and unemployment in germany. With the promise of making germany great again hitler came to power. As the leader of germany, he immediately began removing all restriction place on germany by the alies., And under his leadership the german economy grew massively.

To take back danzig (former german land) given to poland after germanys defeat in the first war world ( at least that was the reason he gave). He decided to invade poland, But poland was then alied to france and britain. Hence france and Britain decleared war on germany.

As to the relationship between germany and Japan, in my opinion, it was simply due of necessity.

The united state then pusued an isolationist policy and did not want to get involved in european affairs. Hence was not at war with any country. It was Japan an alie to germany who invaded the united state island. Before this, Japan was already at war with britain. Even with the invasion of the US Island by Japan, the US and Germany was still at peace. But tension had been growing between the two nations since the war stated. It was hitler that decided to declear war on the US the next day. His generals had tried unsuccesfully to desued him from declearing war on the US. But hitler decleared war on the US anyway.

Hitler was also a very proud man unlike our sha.meless politicians. He knew his strategies were failing so instead of being defeated by Britain and Europe he decided to attacked America also.
How e go come be say na only small Britain defeat bigboy Germany.

gregyboy:
So what were africans doing when this war was going on

Africans took part in the second world war.
They fought in Burma and India.
Before the war Africans believed the White's are infallible and they don't die.But after fighting side by side with the White's,they now see them as human beings,who die and make mistakes just like blacks.

The war opened their eyes and they began asking for their independence from the White's.

towards the war's end. Nigeria's involvement in WWII helped fuel the struggle for independence from colonial rule. This was partly because participation of Africans in these wars exposed them to ideas of self-determination and independent rule.

Do you ever find it funny that people considered to be pschopaths often had passions / guilty pleasures..... Hitler loved Arts, Osama bin laden loved cartoons, Hollywood and supported Arsenal Fc.

Nairaland's bloody mods will never push an Educative thread like this TO FP.... but if it was Bobrisky saying rubbish or Regina Daniel taking selfie they will do it.

Newcomer101:

Hitler's mistake wasn't attacking Moscow before Stalingrad, but his mistake was the superior believe in himself (you wouldn't blame him he overcame all the odds to become Number one in Germany). He doesn't take or enjoying taking advice.

Why Hitler lost the war
The deciphering of the code used by Germany to send messages (Enigma machine)
Underrating how vast Russia is, Napoleon made same mistake
Weather/terrain were against him, hardly are there good roads in Russia
Many battle fronts, German troops fought battles even in North Africa

Very few leaders can accomplish what Hitler did, if he had won the war, he would have been one the greatest leaders in modern history

Things about Hitler
He was an avid reader.
Most of people he surrounds himself with were gays.
He tried to be or was neat at all time even in battlefield(he wasn't neat before he joined army)
He doesn't drink or smoke.
He was in charge of the fastest growing economy before the second WW.
He was a great orator.
The few women he has ever been with committed suicide(some say he does unspeakable in bed with them).


One quote that says all about Hitler: "I follow my course with the precision and security of a sleepwalker."

Gays ke He killed General rohm during the night of the long knives for sleeping with an attractive young officer, eventhough there was an undertoned putsch going on. I will say Hitler surrounded himself with satanist instead, etc Martin Bormann was a known satanist.

Nice thread. Hitler committed a lot of atrocities. He skinned and decapitated twins to find out medical facts about them. His medical experiments were bizzare and satanic.

Pains me how the US take glory for ww2, after 50million russians perished protecting the world from the megalomaniac Fuhrer. The speech given by Stalin during the german invasion with his heavy Georgian accent, is one of the greatest speeches ever, but since they don't have HOLLYWOOD, people won't know the significance. The Hunters from Siberia finish work during the great battles of russia.

Before the D Day invasion , the Germans had fortified the shores where they have expected the Allied forces to land. Concrete bunkers with machines guns were arranged. The weather had been kind to some of the soldiers and their boats drifted to areas with little resistance others were not to lucky.

Try and see this movie "saving private Ryan"
It gave a taste of how the first Allied forces who stepped on the beach fared. They were welcomed by hails of hot lead from relentless german machine gun fire

Gaskiya war nor be better thing. The beach had so much human blood washed up

Despite the fact that Allied forces had bombed these bunkers relentlessly , the Germans put up a good fight before the bunkers where captured one by one until the allied forced finally pushes back the Germans

However I still had one nagging question, what happened to the German air force during D day landing they could have done maximum damage to the Allied forces

Have u guys ever wondered if Hilter had won the war, what would have been the fate of Africa knowing how racist he was against the black skin

According to history, Hitler's greatest mistake of world war 2 was attacking Russia in what he called operation Barbarossa.

But after my intense study,

I have come into the realization that his greatest mistake was that he delayed taking over Moscow after his troops had successfully defeated the Russian troops and were few kilometers to Moscow.

The German troops relaxed close to Moscow till the winter began and by the time they wanted to finalize their victory by taking Moscow, they were met with cold weather which clogged their war machines

and by that time, the Russian were able to regroup and pushed back the Germans.

That was the beginning of their retreat and eventual fall.

Before now, the German troops had been very successful by using a military tactics called the BLITZKRIEG and took over the following countries in this order:

(1)Demilitarized Rhineland,by 1936(this is actually when the world war 2 started, from my own study, despite history saying it started by 1939)

(2) Austria, being annexed by Hitler

(3) Czechoslovakia

(4) Poland,by 1st September,1939.
Germany and Russia shared the land of Poland between themselves, after Poland's defeat

On the 10th may,1940, Germany started war with the following countries which they defeated easily in the following order:

(5) Luxembourg

(6) Belgium

(7) Netherlands

(France.

During this period, the Allied forces were sorrounded by the German troops in Belgium.

The Allied forces retreated to the Beach of Dunkirk in France.

The German troops and airforce attacked them in what is known as operation Dynamo.

The British were able to evacuate their troops(known as the British Expeditionary Force) from the beach of Dunkirk,in what has become known as the largest military evacuation in History.

It took Germany 35 days to capture Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, and France in what is recognized as the best military success since the world began.

After this, the German turned their attention to Britain by beginning what they called operation SEA LION.

But this operation failed because the British navy was better equipped than the Germans.

The Germans then began bombing British military installation and aircrafts.

They could not defeat Britain, but rather suffered heavy lost of their fighter jets.

So one night, German jets went to London and seriously bombed civilians.

The next day, 81 British bombers went to German capital, Berlin and seriously bombed it in retaliation.

Hitler was furious and for the next 8 months and 5 days, Britain was seriously bombed in what is known as the Blitz.

London itself was bombed for 57 consecutive nights leaving 40,000 people dead and 2 million houses destroyed.

you do understand that everything you know about Hitler was written by his enemies right? Imagine if all I knew about you was what your enemies told me.
There's no way on earth I can trust the Brits /Americans to objectively pen down history.
These clowns dragged Africans into a war that didn't concern them with their constant propaganda just to get supplies and black men dying on their side.
I honestly don't see any difference between Germans and English

Can't say why but regardless of the atrocities reported about him I kind of have some level of admiration for Hitler's character especially his pride and resilience.

USA non involvement was actually a lie they were telling the world. People who pretended not to be involved were Secretly loading and shipping supplies to England. Supplies is just as important in war as actual fighting. If you don't have supplies in certain situation, your enemy will just wait you out and you will be forced to make a tactical mistake. USA were involved in the war right from day one. They were just pretending

so what should we know about Hitler since everything is a lie according to you. I'm assuming you've done extensive research and uncovered the truth. Please share with us.

America tells their own side of the story, I haven't read anywhere where they claimed full victory of WWII. Even Britain also tell their own side of the story, how the defeated the Nazis at sea. So since to you and the guy you quoted Russia won WWII, who pushed � the Germans from Western Europe? Who won them at sea? who won them on the air??
I mean I've never seen where it's written or Hollywood acted that America fought the Germans in Russia.

remove US. US started engaging in war after Japan attacked first. They believe they should not form ally with any nation
