This Can't be Possible!

just to make sure 😉

it must be clear by now that it's still a stupid idea to go during the winter

There's always gonna be people that want war and as long as these crazy folk are around people that want peace and freedom will have to fight back. So, I guess, some wars have to be fought.

As for the Auschwitz business. I got taught about it somewhere along the line. Can't remember where, when or by whom.

and Auschwitz is still under "modern history" 😖

For obvious reasons, Im sorta glad that so many people havnt heard of Auschwitz

frodo, if ANY person blaims the holocaust on a german, the person needs to get his facts straight.
I checked your profile and tell me how do you relate directly to this? not at all! so why should anyone take offense to you or your country?

Maybe. However, I'd rather my country was remebered for better reasons, such as Beer, than Nazis

Don't try to take over Russia unless you can get it done quickly.

and lousy beer 😛

Perhaps Hitler was familiar with history and thus marched into Russia knowing what he was doing?

That's something I never understood about Hitler's military tactics. He was educated in History and he was certainly aware of what had happen to Napoleon's armies when they invaded Russia in 1812. Yet, despite his knowledge of the severe winter conditions in Russia he decided to invaded. He had an agreement with Stalin so there really was no need for him invade Russia. I know that Germany was divided between Communist and Nazism and that Hitler wanted to crush the communist ideology. But to scale a large attack on Russia base on ideology seems a bit confusing.

as QGJ said: Do what you think you can not do.

It was unexpected of him to do so and he hoped that would make him get the victory

I see that point. Is basically saying "caught them with their pants down". But I just think is lot more complicated than that. There had to be other factors beside military strategy and ideology.

or perhaps he went just insane with the idea to conquer the world
