Hitler's Mistakes
The Battle of Britain was a tremendous mistake on Hitler’s part. Hitler was basically setting his men up for failure when he sent them to Britain. Obviously he gained too much confidence from all of his success in battle. The blitzkrieg strategy was only good for the countries Hitler could reach by land. Hitler had to have known from the beginning that there would be problems with this terrible idea. This battle ended with London burned, and German casualties that accumulated to the point where they had to call off the campaign. But after the battle, they acted like it was a huge success, which it obviously was not. Hitler was too ashamed to admit his mistakes, instead he tried to cover them up.

There were multiple mistakes made during the

    How Successful Was The Bombing Of Germany In 1940

    Even if Germany had defeated Britain, causing no need for bombing on London, the British might have never sent bombers to attack Berlin. Importantly, later in the war there would have been no country of Britain to serve as a base for the Allied freeing of Europe from Nazi rule. “If the Royal Air Force had failed in the attempt to stop Germany, Hitler would have been able to invade southern England, thus taking entire control over Europe” (Stewart).When the German forces reached the Channel they had, by their standards, won the war in the West. They had occupied Belgium, the Netherlands and most of France and driven Britain from the continent. By any reasonable definition, it was a victory. “Goering and the Luftwaffe were the only possible key to a German victory, either by permitting an actual invasion or by so demoralizing the British Establishment”(Stewart). Luckily, Goering and his generals were as new at all this as anyone. If they had understood the nature of the command and control system that had integrated the radar stations into it, they could have disrupted Fighter Command's ability to detect incoming raids and command squadrons to intercept them. Hitler decided to turn to the lands in the East which had been his prime target all along, and invasion was never seriously considered again. In the eyes of the world Britain had proved that it was still a force in the war. Roosevelt could…

    Critical Review of the Last Days of Hitler

    Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and intentional destruction of his Reich, while his "flatulent clowns" (as Trevor-Roper calls them), even at this late date scramble to betray their leader, and one another, in their quest for power. Remarkably, each of these "flatulent clowns" considers himself entirely fit to govern a new Germany and expects to retain power after surrendering to the Allies. But his report- cutting, detailed, and well supported- effectively stifles any thought of a popular revival of Nazism.…

    The Significance Of The Blitz In Britain

    The Blitz was the period of sustained strategic bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Hitler’s fear of not having control over Britain led to beliefs that Britain would eventually become a base for his enemies to attack him from. When France fell to Germany in 1940, Hitler’s aims were turned on Britain. He believed that if he destroyed the RAF Britain would no longer have any defence against an invasion. Hitler also wished to disrupt Britain’s economy and industry and many industrial cities were hit.…

    Hitlers Tactics

    Hitler was a gifted orator who captivated many with his beating of the lectern and growling, emotional speech .One of the tactics used by Hitler was inspirational tactics. Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ. In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his anti-Semitism. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization. So, in his public speeches, he influences others emotionally by stating that Jesus is a fighter against the Jews. He became adept at telling people what they wanted to hear for example, the Jewish-Marxist plot to conquer the world, and the betrayal of Germany in the Versailles treaty. By the reason of hatred on Jews, Hitler had killed thousands of Jews throughout his ruling.…

    Germany Experiments

    Hitler and his army pounded Europe with their army, air, and naval forces during World War II with no signs of letting up. Germany appeared as though they had really pressed the offensive by attacking with numbers, numerous times with no apparent end in sight. After being subjected to the German military and it's tactics so many times, one would think that the Allies would have a pretty clear view of what Germany had and what to expect. But Germany continued to keep the opposition guessing on what they would do next. It was like a magician show. Germany had its blitzkrieg in one hand, while the other hand held the torturing of Jews, experiments on them, and looting of their gold and property at the same time.…

    Hitler's Actions After Ww2

    When studying 20th century German history, we usually tend to focus on the horrific acts committed by the Nazi’s, and our opinions on the subject are primarily dictated by internal sentimental reactions to those actions. This easily leads us to group and assume all of of Germany in support of Hitler during that time period. Such a notion becomes extremely problematic if trying to objectively examine individual histories during this time, especially pertaining to the average German. I would like to propose a more nuanced way of examining average Germans during this time. One that separates and analyzes them separately, by taking a step back from our emotions and surveying them as individuals outside of the scope of Hitler’s actions. To start, let us look at the ideas that this essay will explore in an attempt to humanize and present an alterative narrative about lower and working-class Germans.…

    Hitler's Loyalty

    “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain. During the Holocaust, people followed Hitler seeking help because he told them he would help them out of the Treaty Of Versailles. Hitler kept most people not informed about the bad things he was doing so they followed him blindly thinking he was helping them. The bad things the people were kept oblivious about were Hitler killing Jews and restricting them from everyday things, even though the hurt and discriminated people still followed him. Before you are loyal to someone, make sure you really know them so you don’t blindly follow…

    Hitler's Propaganda

    During World War II, Adolf Hitler exterminated over 6 million people of Jewish origin and others who were a threat to the Aryan race and the Nazi Party. The Webster Dictionary describes a Jewish person as part of a group of people who trace their descent from the Israelites of the Bible or descendants of adherents of Judaism (Jew, n.d.). Jewish people as a whole had not broken the laws or done anything wrong to deserve their mistreatment yet “to Hitler, and to many who carried out his orders, these people had been criminals since before birth. They were Jews” (Arnold 11). In the eyes of the Nazi Party, globally, the Jews were to blame for the downfall of Germany. Hitler claimed publicly, that he wished to purge Jews from the entire European…

    World War Ii and Nazi Forces

    Adolf Hitler was a man who could of used his intelligence for anything in the world but used it for much wrongdoing. Hitler made Germany into a fully militarized society and launched World War 2 in 1939. He made anti-Semitism a basis of his policies and built the Nazi Party into a mass movement. There were attacks all over the globe but the two I focused on were North Africa and Europe. One attack in Europe was on London in a blitz form, a blitz is when many planes attack at once. The first German attack on London was August 17, 1942. London used there might to fight back by sending bombers to Berlin but caused very little damage. Germans were shocked for the fact that Berlin had never been attacked before. Europe continued bombing Berlin in which many germans were killed. Two nights later there was still a European attack on Nazi forces in Berlin, Germany. The Germans nerves were shot. They conducted a Blitz on London, England for fifty-seven straight nights. The Germans bombed for eight months in all 18,629 men, 16,201 women, 5,028 children were killed with 600 unidentifiable bodies. An Italian Invasion attacked Ethiopia, Africa early in 1936. Italy joined Hitler’s Nazi forces. This lead to German Occupation of Tunisia, Libya and parts of Egypt (Morocco and Algeria were controlled by the pro-Nazi Petain regime). Thousands were killed in all of the gunfire of the horrific battles. The allies came out victorious May 7, 1944 with the surrender of all German…
