Facts About Holocaust

Hitler’s plan was a very simple one; take over Europe then the world. By 1939 Hitler had amassed a large army, and air force. Hitler’s strategy was simple he pounded fortified city’s with his superior air force, sent in the artillery, and finally sent in the regular ground troops to clean up any remaining forces.
Hitler knew that all he needed to do to conquer Europe is take England, the only real power at the time. He knew also that they would join the war almost immediately. He didn’t want to divide his forces by fighting on two fronts so he aligned himself with Stalin and Russia to protect his back. Once he conquered the weaker European countries he planned on mobilizing against France and once he had taken that he would move on England. Finally his last real adversary in Europe was Russia, who he didn’t expect to hold out for very long. He then would have conquered all of Europe, and effectively the entire world.
To his enemies he showed no mercy and gave them no quarter. Since he had the complete loyalty of his troops there was really no threat from within, although his paranoia often kicked in and he felt the need to have a commanding officer shot.
The real loss to Hitler’s reign came in two parts. First his loss to the Allies came in Great Britain when his air force was decimated, giving the Allies the new advantage in the air, but he still have the most powerful army in the war. His second and probably most foolish loss was to the “weak” Soviets. He miscalculated terribly and sent his troops into Russia not realizing that they had a great advantage, the winter. Hitler’s men froze to death, food was scarce, and morale was low. After these events the war was not looking so good for the Germans, so Hitler did what he has always done best pass the blame. He blamed the Jewish people and foreigners for the loss and went after them with a renewed passion.
Smart people do dumb things. Napoleon did it as did Hitler. One miscalculation can holocaust concentration camps throw off the whole picture no matter how clear it is. History also does repeat itself. Like a caring mother, it keeps telling us things until we learn.

I’m sorry but, based purely on the article, your bloody Grammer needs sorting out. Secondly, the generalizations are so so bad. This article is a terrible source for English class!
“Hitler knew that all he needed to do to conquer Europe is take England,” Soviet Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland as well…
“the only real power at the time. He knew also that they would join the war almost immediately.”
European power? Again the USSR… Fair enough though, Britain was a world power in the form of their Empire which spanned 1/4 of the globe.(especially in the form of 1 million Indian soldiers) And i’m not soo sure Hitler was aware. He believed he could ally with Britain and rule Eastern Europe as the ‘New India’ (Read Mein Kampf – a hateful but helpful book.) He even had assurances from Ribbentrop, the ambassador to Britain, that she would never enter the war (a costly mistake.)
The true reason behind the German initiated Nazi/Soviet pact is still a matter of great debate but the argument is soundly put.
This, i’m sorry is purely funny. “He then would have conquered all of Europe, and effectively the entire world.” Is Europe, per chance, the entire world? There is Asia, Africa, The Americas, The Pacific, Oceania and there is the matter of his Italian, Romanian, Hungarian etc allies. I’m sure they would still have put up a weeny bit of resistance, even after the USSR would have fallen.
“Since he had the complete loyalty of his troops there was really no threat from within, although his paranoia often kicked in and he felt the need to have a commanding officer shot.” Watch Valkyrie and read up on Von Staffenburg and other Army plots (especially before 1939) before labeling it as ‘pure’ paranoia. Of no criticism, but an interesting note; Some also shot themselves and Rommel (ALLEGEDLY) poisoned himself.
Two perfectly valid points as to why he lost the war – but he was also losing the economic battle. As to the passing the buck after losing campaigns (e.g. Stalingrad) I do not know enough to make a comment -so won’t.
“One miscalculation can holocaust concentration camps throw off the whole picture no matter how clear it is.” I can’t make sense of this.
On a good note: I like the basic ideas you’ve forwarded and the last sentence is a clever quote.
I love this web soooooooooo much, it helped A LOT with my homework and projects. It also increased my knowledge and my interests of this subject! Thank you very much for your wonderful and abundant informations
