Second main failure - Germans dont mobilezed thair economy for military needs until 1943.
Third - Germans had weak allies in Europe (Romanians,Italians etc.)
After Stalingrad battle strategic initiative came to russian hands,and Germans had no chance to win war in the East. |
on the first "failure":this is irrelevant,what would the Germans have done,if they knew the real situation of the Soviet Army ?
on the second "failure" :this is a myth:Germany was mobilizing already in 1939 (a good source is 'the wages of destruction' by A.Tooze)
on the third "failure" :this is no failure,the German allies were weak,but there was nothing Germany could do about .
