As the war advanced Germany was up against huge, overwhelming forces.
Three superpowers. Soviet Union, USA and the British Commonwealth(including Canada, Australia, India etc.)
Quoting: CFF 72818801 Not to mention the fact the Blitzkrieg across all of Europe and into Northern Africa, in two years, definitely made some of those mighty men, very tired. Plus, two brutally cold , harsh Russian winters played a pivotal role in their demise. Adolph should have really thought it over, but he knew time was not on their side and Bolshevism wasn't going to wait. Quoting: The Acute Misanthropist 77732315 Hitler was really his own worst enemy. He had the Allies by the balls at Dunkirk but let them go, according to Martin Bormann, because he felt a kinship with their superior genetic upbringing. Hitler actually admired Britain and did not want war with them. As the situation progressed, German patriots like Rommel came to realize that Hitler was a greater threat to Germany than the Allies. Hitler's fundamental mistake was conjuring up Germanic Paganism as an answer to the horrific conditions facing Germany following Versailles. Quoting: Dr. Rendezvous It was a fatal military blunder at Dunkirk. They came back against Germans at the beaches of Normandy in 1944. It might have been a gracious gesture by Hitler to let them slip but it was naive. You can not do that in war, if you want to win the war. Quoting: CFF 72818801 The myth is often repeated, but Hitler's Halt Order only applied to the German tanks which needed maintenance after their journey fighting from Germany to the English Channel. The Luftwaffe continued to attack the Dunkirk pocket nonstop and Hitler's Halt Order was only from May 24-26 1940. Everyone including General Gort thought the BEF at Dunkirk was doomed.
