WWII: The Struggle of the Third Reich

If anyone can be said to have turned the tide on Nazism, it was the Russians. The scale of their sacrifice and suffering was truly enormous.

I've never met a Flip I didn't get along with. As long as you're not tricking me into eating balut, there will be peace between our peoples. Shalom.

The proper way to aproach history is through many sources as each nation has its own interpretation. For example: the US claims their direct involment saved the world, while Canada believes their constant supply of food and weapons saved the world. The amount of data in WW2 is absurd. My history teacher rejected any work on the topic because it was to complex.

Canada did play a pretty big role in "holding the line" while we waited for the US to get over to Europe. Motorized wheelchairs don't move very fast.

Well, they were the only country fighting a civil war and a war at the same time. In my opinion general Winter won the war between Russia and Germany.

Hey, while the Winter of 1941 was the worst winter to hit Russia in over a hundred years, you can't discount a genius like Zhukov

In his very own way, Hitler was a genious. He did horrible stuff and also did impressive stuff. For no random reason was he Man of the year in the "Time" magazine in 1938 [no, you don't need to be gandhi good to be in this news post]

I disagree. Some people would say that he was an idiot because he killed so many and such. This is a very bad argument because you can be a genius and yet a murderer. No, what I'm saying is that Hitler was literally an idiot. I don't believe he calculated the risk of his actions or even thought out a real plan to get into power. His failure to act intelligently have been shown time and time again during WWII(see documentary ''How Hitler lost the war'' for a short summary). I'm of the opinion that he just happened to act following his own stupid ideals and got lucky enough doing it. If this is the case, then he is no smarter than another very rich figure like Justin Bieber who amassed success not because he has any kind of talent but because he managed to, out of pure luck, hit the right chord with Usher.
