Of course. The Allies only won due to mass production of admittedly inferior weapons.

They did. Of course, the German stuff was way too complicated, and always breaking down, and anyway Hitler was micromanaging his generals way too much to allow them to actually do anything.

and his most stupid, stupid, STUPID move was the attack on the soviet union.
I mean a country like germany, with a population around 60 millions next to the soviets?
And they already had a non-attack pact. so, soo stupid.
it makes me headshaking all the time

Fortunately for the rest of the world, Hitler had almost no strategic acumen. Still, it makes me wince to think that ANYONE could presume to attack the Red Paradise and not even issue their troops winter gear.

the plan was to make a blitzkrieg again and to defeat the red army in one final battle, but the russians took adventage of the size of their country and so the big battle couldn´t come.
the one, big victory hitler tried to achieve failed.
And so the winter came...

Indeed. They were THIS close to Moscow. I shudder to think what might have happened if Der Phooey'd had a wee bit more foresight.

Called der Führer?
