Any chance we can move back to topic? We have lasted 56 pages so far it would be a shame to screw it up now. We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation. ~Francois De La Rochefoucauld |

Here's my point of view. The Germans kicked to many asses and were very brutal in the occupied countries. Their supreme leader , Hitler, was a disaster in military warfare. I don't know if Churchill new that Hitler would change plans in the Battle of Britain with that bombing raid in Berlin, but it surely saved the RAF. Hitler also changed plans when Moskow was within reach and lost his 6th Army in Stalingrad out of stubbornness. But he was also lucky, the bickering among the allied commanders prolonged the war unnecessary. |

That's a lot of wrong things : The LW never had a chance to win in the Battle of Britain. There is no proof at all that the Germans could capture Moscow in 1941,and very unlikely that this would be decisive. About Stalingrad :the truth is much more complicated. About the bickering among the allied commanders :you could maybe give some explanations ? |

These bickerings had no influence on the outcome of the war,because,it is not proved that,with more men,Patton could do better.On the other hand,while the execution of MG left much to be desired,the idea was not bad;whatever,MG resulted in the gaining of some terrain,with few losses. The only chance the Allies had to force a decisive victory on the western front ,in the autumn of 1944,was, by starting a big offensive(some 50 divisions) on a small front,and this was logistically impossible;thus,the decision by Eisenhower to advance on a broad front was justifiable and defensible. |
