The Defeate of Hitler

The reason for Hitler's defeat is quite simple - Russia. Russia has proved to be impossible for any army to conquer; They are willing to make tremendous self-sacrifices in order to win, with leaders willing to cut off their own arms in order to save the body. Russia is a huge nation with terrain and climate that would make any attacker tremble. The problem is that Hitler never finished the battle he was involved in before planning to attack the east. The Germans made incredible land gains in the early part of the war but lost pace at Stalin grad. This city was very important to Stalin for obvious reasons. Stalin poured unprecedented amounts of men and materials into the defense of this city and bogged down the Germans into an unbelievably bloody confrontation. Stalin was eventually able to turn the tide of the battle and surround the German forces. At this point Hitler had completely lost it, and having placed himself as the "Commander-in-Chief" refused to let the Germans breakout of the city. The Russians slaughtered these men, and 91,000 of Germany's best front line troops were taken out of action in that battle. This is what truly marked the end for the Germans. From this point on they were pushed back with tremendous force. A huge amount of soldiers were dead and American and British troops were on the western front, guarded only by third string reservist troops. With the scientific branch of the government researching ridiculous new machines that wasted the already faltering war material left for fighting, the Germans suddenly found themselves surrounded with new weapons and no training or supplies. An example is the FG42 - the Nazi equivalent to the BAR. Not nearly enough ammunition was made and when the troops ran out of ammo they were left with merely a top of the line club. It was things like these that when put together spelled out the ultimate doom of the third Reich.
