actually germany was already losing through waste of resources, hitler being ignorant, etc etc but that’s a good one

[@wd3185]

In all truth, Hitler was screwed the moment he attacked Russia. He opened a war on two fronts and was counting on having beaten the British with the bombings of London, but it instead served to only motivate them to beat him back even harder. By opening an unnecessary war with the Soviet Union, he needlessly divided his resources, men, and attention. Not to mention his strategy of _blitzkrieg,_ which depends on lightning quick assaults, fast victories, and building up momentum, was completely fucked by the harsh Russian winters that halted said momentum, and later by Stalin's "scorched earth" policy, where any retreating Soviets burned anything- vehicles, materials, housing, oil, et cetera- that might have been of use to the Germans, denying Hitler's men the opportunity to scavenge supplies from the enemy. Then, to top it all off, after the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor and America declares war on Japan, he's bound by the Tripartite Pact to do the same to America, as is Italy, sending America to Europe, which is exactly what he didn't want. Germany's surprise invasion and attack on Russia, as effective as it initially was to start, ended up being the turning point that caused Hitler to eventually go from an offensive war to a defensive one.

I remember siting in class 7th grade at 8:15 when another teacher came in on Sept. 11th She made everyone quiet and told us what just happened. For the first and only time our teacher turned the radio on and let it play out. I remember sharply that something was really wrong because my dad had told me the only time they ever played the radio in class was the day JFK was shot. Not ever kid knew, but I knew something was very wrong. My mom picked me and my sister up from school that day, normally we would have walked home. My dad was a journalist, so he was very busy that day. My mom let us stay up until 11:30 when my dad finally got home ... both my sister and I hugged his legs and my sister said "daddy, are we going to war?" He knelt down and looking back I know he wanted to say No ... but he hugged us both and said "I don't know sweetie, but whatever happens, we're going to be okay." I have a daughter now, I can't imagine the fear my mom and dad must have felt that terrible day
