When did Adolf Hitler lose the chance to win World War 2 ?
What was the moment in time that before it he could still possibly win the war, and after it his defeat was a matter of time ? (and long continued fighting that still cost so many lives).
When was it? How early or late was it ?
How about starting from a relatively late date, when we're sure that Hitler's defeat was just a matter of time, and from it go back in time to a date that marks the change, that marks when Adolf Hitler lost the chance of winning the war he started. Let's see...
In the summer of 1944, with unstoppable massive forces of the western allies pushing from West and unstoppable massive Soviet forces pushing from East, with devastating massive air bombardment, both tactical and strategic, that the already exhausted Luftwaffe could not stop, and with his submarines now being the hunted instead of hunters, it's obvious that Hitler had already lost the war. So it's a good starting point. Now let's step back in time.
In mid-1944, before D-Day, Russia was already unstoppable, even without an invasion of France. The part of the western allies was of course very significant. The threat of an invasion that kept a significant part of the German forces in the West, the air war that increasingly eroded Germany's ability to support its war effort, and the continuing massive material support of the western allies to Russia, were all very important contributing factors. But I think we can agree that by mid-1944 Germany was already losing the war, because although it kept fighting fiercely, it could not stop Russia's massive continued advance all over Eastern Europe, en route to Berlin.
If we look back in time, we can safely say that with the loss of its last major attempt, in Kursk in mid 1943, Germany was no longer able to defeat Russia.
But actually, if we look deeper into the details of the situation, we can say that although Kursk was the last major German attempt, and German army broke its back trying, it already had no hope even earlier. If we look in the details of the Kursk campaign and in those of the battle of Stalingrad, then we can go back to the Stalingrad campaign in late 1942 and say that when the Soviets started their huge counter attack that encircled the massive German forces in and around Stalingrad, Germany lost the strategic initiative and its ability to stop Russia.
But even if Germany had swiftly taken or bypassed Stalingrad in the summer of 1942 and kept pushing further East and South in the endless prairies of South Russia to the Caspian Sea. Would that change the final outcome ? No, it could only delay it, as the outcome of the war was decided even earlier.
In his book "Modern Times", Paul Johnson clearly marks the exact point in time when the outcome of the war was decided. His analysis is shared by other top authors, and was also shared by Winston Churchill himself at the time of events when they happened. Remaining wartime reports by German Generals allow us to see it clearly from the German military's point of view.
It's obvious that Hitler gambled everything by invading Russia, that attacking Russia and failing to defeat it could only mean that Germany will be defeated.
When the German invasion of Russia began in June 1941, Germany could potentially defeat Russia and win the war. Its initial victories were tremendous. Russian losses in men, equipment, and land, were unbelievably enormous. But Russia is HUGE, with endless resources, its soldiers are tough, and its winter is terrible for anyone not fully equipped for it, and the German military was definitely NOT equipped for the Russian winter, and knew it.
But in the first weeks of the invasion the German successes were such that the over-confident Hitler decided that he wants to occupy the rich Ukraine in the South even before taking Moscow, the heart of Russia. To do so he ordered to stop the advance of army group "Center" to Moscow and to give its two tank armies to army groups "North" and "South". This was perhaps Hitler's greatest mistake, and his Generals argued a lot against it, but in vain.
After spending more than a month on this diversion, in September 6th 1941 Hitler realized that he was running out of time in his race to defeat Russia before winter, which his war plan considered a major condition with no alternative.
So then he ordered to concentrate everything in an all-or-nothing effort to take Moscow "In the limited time before winter". Army group "Center" received its two tank armies back, plus a third tank army, and additional air units. In October 2nd 1941 the German military began its final assault on Moscow. In the 2nd week of October, there was a confident German public radio announcement that the outcome of the war has been decided and Russia is defeated.
But then the Russian winter began. Rains and deep mud slowed the German tanks and infantry almost to a standstill. The advance resumed a month later, when the mud was frozen by the dropping temperature. In German cities an emergency effort began, to collect winter clothing for their unequipped soldiers in Russia, who still fought in their summer uniform.
By the end of November 1941, the German armor spearheads reached a distance of just 27km from the center of Moscow, but could advance no further due to strong Russian resistance, and the temperature dropped to around -34C (-29F). The foremost German observers could see the tips of the towers of the Kremlin, but General Erich Hoepner, the commander of the leading Panzer Group 4, reported that his force "reached its utmost limit, with physical and mental exhaustion, unbearable shortage of personnel, and lack of winter clothing".
General Wagner, the German army's top logistics officer also wrote a report that was summarized by the chief of staff with "we reached our limit in terms of personnel and equipment".
And then, in December 6th 1941, the Russian army counter-attacked the exhausted Germans with massive fresh reinforcement units that came from Siberia and the far East, and forced the German armies to a deep retreat, for the first time.
The next day, on December 7th 1941, the Soviet news agency announced the first German defeat since the invasion started. On the same day, Japan attacked the US in Pearl Harbor and the US joined the war with its immense military potential. On that day Hitler ordered to cease the attack and shift to defense.
A week later, General Hoepner reported "my 22 divisions face 43 Russian divisions, none of my divisions is capable of attack or of defending against a stronger force. All my positions are endangered. No fuel, no food for the horses, the soldiers fall asleep standing, everything is frozen, the soil is frozen a meter deep, which makes digging impossible."
As Paul Johnson writes, "at this stage it was clear that Operation Barbarossa failed. A totally new strategy was needed". Instead of that, in December 19, 1941, Hitler, the German dictator and a former WWI Corporal, appointed himself the new commander-in-chief of the German army, and personally commanded the daily war management since then. He no longer trusted his gifted Generals, the highly professional leaders of the world's most effective military machine, to win the war for him. He thought he can succeed where they failed, and ignored most of their advices since. He totally forbid any more retreats, a limiting constraint that cost the German military almost a third of its manpower in Russia before the end of the winter. General Halder wrote "Hitler's constant underestimation of the enemy is becoming grotesque".
In 1941 Russia survived a tremendous blow. Barely, and with horrible losses, but it survived it, and from that point on became ever stronger. Germany on the other hand had just pushed itself to the limit and beyond, and it was not enough. It charged forward again with all its remaining potential once the winter ended, and again a year later when the next winter ended, but it was too late. The weakened German military could not achieve then what it failed to achieve in 1941.
In December 1941 Germany lost the war when it failed in its all-or-nothing attempt to defeat Russia before the winter, and in addition to that, at its moment of failure, the US joined the war and its additional immense war potential further ensured Germany's defeat.
We can ask if Germany lost the war even earlier, for example when it failed to defeat Great Britain with airplanes and submarines, leaving it as an essential future base for massive US forces and a second front. Or when it just began its invasion of Russia. The answer to that is negative. As long as he wasn't at war with Russia, Hitler had options and possibilities, nothing was final yet. When he invaded Russia, he could still do things differently, such as concentrating the effort on Moscow from the beginning, and presenting the war as a campaign of liberation from Stalin's brutal regime in order to soften Russia's resistance, but Hitler interfered with the military conduct of the invasion from the beginning, and the unprecedented Nazi brutality that aimed to decimate and enslave them, left the tough Russian people with no other choice but to fight their toughest war, and utilize their endless resources much better than ever, and by doing so Hitler lost his last remaining options and his chance of winning the war.
So in December of 1941, at the gates of Moscow, Hitler's war was lost. It took 3 1/2 more years to end, thanks to the outstanding fighting skill and loyalty of the German soldier, but he could no longer win it.

Jaki był moment w czasie, zanim jeszcze ewentualnie mógł wygrać wojnę, a po jego klęsce został kwestią czasu? (I długo jeszcze kontynuował walkę, że koszt tak wiele istnień ludzkich).
Kiedy to było? Jak wcześniej lub później to było?
Jak na temat, począwszy od stosunkowo późno, gdy jesteśmy pewni, że klęska Hitlera była tylko kwestia czasu, i od niej cofnąć się w czasie do daty, która oznacza zmianę, która oznacza, gdy Adolf Hitler stracił szanse na wygraną wojny zaczął. Zobaczmy ...
W lecie 1944 r., z niepowstrzymaną ogromne siły aliantów zachodnich pchania z West i niepohamowaną ogromne siły sowieckie pchania ze Wschodu, z katastrofalnymi masowe bombardowania lotniczego, zarówno taktycznych i strategicznych, które wyczerpały już nie mogło powstrzymać Luftwaffe, a jego okręty podwodne obecnie zamiast polować myśliwi, to oczywiste, że Hitler wojnę już przegrały. Więc jest to dobry punkt wyjścia. Teraz możemy cofnąć się w czasie.
W połowie 1944 roku, przed D-Day, Rosja była już nie do powstrzymania, nawet bez inwazji na Francję. Ze strony aliantów zachodnich była oczywiście bardzo istotne. Zagrożenie inwazją, która przechowuje znaczną część sił niemieckich na Zachodzie, wojny powietrza, które w coraz większym stopniu straciła zdolność Niemiec do wsparcia wysiłków na rzecz wojny, i nadal ogromne wsparcie materialne zachodnich sojuszników do Rosji, były bardzo ważne, przyczyniając czynników. Ale myślę, że możemy się zgodzić, że do połowy 1944 roku Niemcy były już przegranej wojnie, bo choć walczyły zaciekle, że nie może zatrzymać Rosji nadal ogromne góry całej Europy Wschodniej, w drodze do Berlina.
Jeśli spojrzymy w przeszłość, można powiedzieć, że z utratą jego ostatnia próba-dur, w Kursk w połowie 1943 roku Niemcy były już w stanie pokonać Rosję.
Ale rzeczywiście, jeśli spojrzymy głębiej w szczegóły sytuacji, można powiedzieć, że chociaż Kursk był ostatnim ważnym niemieckim próby i armii niemieckiej złamał się plecami próbuje, to już nie ma nadziei nawet wcześniej. Jeśli spojrzymy na dane dotyczące kampanii Kursk w tych bitwy pod Stalingradem, to możemy wrócić do kampanii Stalingrad pod koniec 1942 r. i powiedzieć, że gdy Sowieci rozpoczęli ogromne kontratak, że otaczają ogromne siły niemieckie i około Stalingradem, Niemcy utracili inicjatywę strategiczną i możliwość zatrzymania Rosji.
Ale nawet gdyby Niemcy szybko podjęte lub pominięte Stalingrad w lecie 1942 roku i przechowywane naciskając na Wschód i Południe w niekończące się stepy południowej Rosji do Morza Kaspijskiego. Czy to zmienić ostateczny wynik? No, może jedynie je opóźnić, a wynik wojny zdecydowano jeszcze wcześniej.
W swojej książce "Modern Times", Paul Johnson wyraźnie wyznacza dokładny moment, w wyniku wojny zdecydowano. Jego analiza jest podzielane przez innych czołowych autorów, i to podzielił się Winston Churchill w czasie imprezy, kiedy się. Pozostałe raporty wojenne niemieckich generałów pozwalają nam zobaczyć to wyraźnie z niemieckiego wojskowego punktu widzenia.
To oczywiste, że Hitler przegrał wszystko przez inwazji Rosji, że atakowanie Rosji i nie może go pokonać tylko oznacza, że Niemcy zostaną pokonane.
Podczas niemieckiej inwazji Rosji rozpoczęły się w czerwcu 1941 roku, Niemcy mogą potencjalnie porażka Rosji i wygrać wojnę. Początkowe zwycięstwa były ogromne. Rosyjski straty w ludziach, wyposażenie i ziemi, byli niesamowicie ogromne. Ale Rosja jest ogromny, z niekończących się zasobów, jego żołnierze są trudne, i zima jest straszna dla każdego, kto nie pełni wyposażone, a niemiecki wojskowy zdecydowanie nie są wyposażone w rosyjskiej zimy, i wiedział o tym.
Ale w pierwszych tygodniach inwazji niemieckiej sukcesy były takie, że zbyt pewni siebie Hitler zdecydował, że chce zająć bogate Ukraina na południu nawet przed podjęciem Moskwie, w głąb Rosji. W tym celu kazał zatrzymać przed Grupa Armii "Centrum" w Moskwie i dać jej dwie armie zbiornika do grupy armii "Północ" i "Południe". To był chyba największy błąd Hitlera i jego generałów twierdził, dużo z nim, ale na próżno.
Po ponad miesiącu w tym kierunku, w 6 września 1941 Hitler zorientował się, że kończy się raz w wyścigu do pokonania Rosji przed zimą, która swój plan wojny uważana za poważną stanie, nie jest alternatywą.
Tak więc kazał skupić wszystko w "wszystko albo nic" do podjęcia wysiłków Moskwy "W ograniczony czas przed zimą". Grupa Armii "Centrum" otrzymał dwie armie zbiornik z powrotem, plus jeden trzecia armii pancernej oraz dodatkowe jednostki powietrzne. 2 października 1941 w niemieckiej wojskowej rozpoczął ostateczny atak na Moskwę. W 2 tygodniu października, był przekonany, niemiecki radio publiczne ogłoszenie, że wynik wojny podjęto decyzję i Rosji jest pokonany.
Ale potem zaczął rosyjskiej zimy. Deszcze i głębokie błoto spadło niemieckich czołgów i piechoty niemal do zastoju. Zaliczki wznowione miesiąc później, gdy błoto został zamrożony przez temperatura spada. W niemieckich miastach zaczęły nadzwyczajnych wysiłków, do zbierania odzieży zimowej dla swoich unequipped żołnierzy z Rosji, którzy nadal walczyli w ich jednolitego lata.
Do końca listopada 1941, pancerz niemieckiego groty osiągnęła odległości zaledwie 27 km od centrum Moskwy, ale może wcześniej nie dalej ze względu na silny opór Rosji, a temperatura spadła do około-34C (-29F). Przede wszystkim niemieckich obserwatorów było widać porady z wież Kremla, ale gen. Erich Höpner, dowódca z wiodących Panzer Group 4, poinformował, że jego życie "osiągnął najwyższą limit, z fizycznego i psychicznego wyczerpania, nie do zniesienia niedobór personelu, i brak odzieży zimowej ".
Ogólne Wagner, niemiecki oficer armii top logistyki również napisał raport, że zostały przedstawione przez szefa sztabu z "dotarliśmy do ograniczenia w zakresie personelu i sprzętu".
A następnie w 6 grudnia 1941, wojska rosyjskie counter-Niemcy zaatakowali wyczerpany z masywnymi świeże jednostki wzmocnienie, które pochodziły z Syberii i Dalekim Wschodzie i przymusowych wojsk niemieckich do głębokiego odwrotu, po raz pierwszy.
Następnego dnia, 7 grudnia 1941 r. agencja informacyjna radzieckich ogłosiła pierwszy klęską Niemiec od czasu inwazji zaczęło. W tym samym dniu, Japonia zaatakowała Pearl Harbor w USA i USA przystąpiły do wojny z jej ogromnego potencjału wojskowego. W tym dniu Hitler nakazał zaprzestania ataków i przejście do obrony.
W tydzień później, generał Hoepner sprawozdaniu "mój 22 dywizji twarzy 43 dywizji rosyjskich, żaden z moich oddziałów jest w stanie ataku lub obrony przed silniejsze życie. Wszystkie moje pozycje są zagrożone. Nr paliwa, bez jedzenia dla koni, żołnierze wchodzą śnie stałego, wszystko jest zamrożone, gleba jest zamrożone metr głębokości, co sprawia, że kopanie niemożliwe. "
Jak Paul Johnson pisze: "na tym etapie było jasne, że nie operacji Barbarossa. Zupełnie nowej strategii było potrzebne". Zamiast tego, w 19 grudnia 1941, Hitler, niemiecki dyktator i były wojny światowej kapral, mianował się nowym dowódcą naczelnym armii niemieckiej, i osobiście dowodził codziennym zarządzaniem wojny od tego czasu. Już nie jego utalentowany zaufanych generałów, profesjonalny przywódców najbardziej skuteczne maszyny wojskowe, aby wygrać wojnę dla niego. Myślał, że może odnieść sukces, gdzie nie, i najbardziej ignorowana od ich rad. On całkowicie zakazuje wszelkich więcej rekolekcje, że ograniczenie ograniczenie kosztów niemieckich wojskowych prawie jednej trzeciej jego siły roboczej w Rosji przed końcem zimy. Generał Halder napisał "Hitlera stała niedocenianie przeciwnika staje się groteskowa.
W 1941 r. Rosja przeżyła ogromny cios. Ledwo, i straszne straty, ale przeżyli, a od tej pory stał się coraz silniejszy. Niemcy z drugiej strony właśnie pchnął się w granicach i poza nią, i to nie wystarczyło. To opłata przodu z jego możliwościami pozostałych po zakończeniu zimy i ponownie rok później, gdy zakończył się następnej zimy, ale było już za późno. Osłabiony niemiecki wojskowy nie mógł osiągnąć to co nie udało się osiągnąć w 1941 roku.
W grudniu 1941 roku Niemcy przegrali wojnę, jeżeli nie w jego "wszystko albo nic próba pokonania Rosji przed zimą, a ponadto, że w momencie jej braku, USA przystąpiły do wojny i jej dodatkowe ogromny potencjał dalszego zapewnić wojny Niemiec klęski.
Możemy zapytać, czy Niemcy przegrały wojnę już wcześniej, np. gdy nie udało się pokonać z Wielkiej Brytanii samolotów i łodzi podwodnych, pozostawiając jako niezbędnej podstawy dla przyszłości ogromne siły amerykańskie i drugi front. Lub, gdy tylko rozpoczęła inwazję Rosji. Odpowiedź na to jest negatywna. Tak długo, jak nie był w stanie wojny z Rosją, Hitler opcji i możliwości, nic nie było jeszcze ostatecznej. Kiedy inwazji na Rosję, mógł zrobić jeszcze inaczej, takie jak skupienie wysiłków na Moskwę od początku, i stan wojny, kampanii wyzwolenia od brutalnego reżimu Stalina, aby zmiękczyć opór Rosji, ale Hitler ingerować w wojskowej postępowania inwazji od początku, i bezprecedensowy brutalności nazistowskiej który miał na celu zdziesiątkować i zniewolić ich opuścił trudne Rosjan z żadnego innego wyboru, jak walczyć z najtrudniejszych wojennych i wykorzystać swoje niekończące się zasoby znacznie lepiej niż kiedykolwiek, a przez to Hitler stracił ostatnio pozostałych opcji, a jego szanse na wygranie wojny.
Więc w grudniu 1941 roku, u bram Moskwy, wojna Hitlera został stracony. Zajęło 3 1 / 2 lat do końca, dzięki wybitne umiejętności walki i lojalności niemieckiego żołnierza, ale już nie mógł wygrać.
