Germany's Early WWII Victories....Were They Really All That They Seemed To Be ? ? ? (2 Viewers)

Interesting thread with many valid comments.

Hitler was indeed an exceptional leader for the German people during the 30's but as has been mentioned on this thread the war swiftly evolved into a one man show where meglomania threw out any common sense. And yet curiously these brilliant aforementioned German commanders and the ordinary German soldier stayed fiercely loyal to this mad-man (apart from Valkyrie) right up until the last days in the Berlin Bunker. Why? through fear, blind faith; dogma; indoctrination-Who really knows?

The Allied bombing campaign of cities was a propaganda tool for the Nazis. Along with the plan to carve up Germany into different zones. Added to this was an effective propaganda campaign to inspire fear of the Red Army. German civilians and military were not just loyal to Hitler but were fighting a total war of preservation for their families and nation.

Texas is as big as the Russian steps or plains....HUGE !!!
