“How Hitler Lost the War” is one of the outstanding documentaries I’ve seen on World War II. I originally taped this prove off PBS when it first appeared in 1989, and have watched it several times since then. Produced by David Hoffman and narrated by Norman Rose, the program has a weighty and authoritative flare. Once you begin watching you can’t conclude until you examine the conclusion.

Recently, I copied my weak VHS tape onto DVD so I’d have a better and more permanent relate. This included Titles at various points in the program so I could more easily net parts of the prove I wanted to review. Sadly, though, my tape quality was not the highest which makes this unique production such a welcome win. Its audio and video are topnotch, as you might seek information from from DVD.

The central theme of the demonstrate is how Hitler lost a war that the Germans may have already won through his vacillation and stubbornness. He dallied and delayed as key points in the war were reached on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Hitler issued orders that resulted in the loss of whole armies in defiance of advice he received from his military experts. And finally, to our deliverance, he refused to consume properly the wonder weapons he yearned for when they were proper in front of him.

Among the other most memorable features of this program are the interviews done with soldiers and airmen from both the German and Allied sides. All of these men are surely uninteresting now, but their words live on describing the most abominable conflict in history. Their accounts are available to us and future generations in this indelible do. Especially knowing are pictures drawn of the Eastern Front and the suffering and loss of human life on both sides. Today’s problems seem microscopic by comparison, and yet, the sacrifices made to rid the world of Nazism must not be forgotten, lest they might have to be repeated.

Unfortunately, the current DVD does not carry titles or chapters as most DVD’s do these days. Rather, it runs the paunchy 67 minutes without interruption. Too dreadful, but what do you examine for the neat bargain brand of $6.99? If it weren’t for this flaw I would have rated the production 5 stars, rather than 4. Peaceful, the jabber is the most indispensable thing and someone who doesn’t have this video in his World War II collection should bustle, not saunter, to order a copy.

I got this DVD by chance, and that was valid luck. It can be seen as a type of missing link that explains why the initial expeditiously success of Nazi Germany turned into defeat. While virtually all explanations given of why Hitler lost the war are usually unconvincing or to superficial, this one can actually interpret what really caused him to lose the war.

The shiny thing about this DVD is that it includes interviews not with some historians that go on propagating their theories and assumptions, rather it includes rare intereviews of those at the highest levels of combat aid in the genuine 2nd World War.

What is really extraordinary is that Hitler himself was the main cause of why the 2nd World War was lost by Germany. It was more than anything else his personality that prevented what in retrospect would most likely have been a fast victory for Nazi Germany. The 1st major mistake that Hitler made was that he believed that his invasion of Poland would not have any consequences. Hitler relied, as described by fighter ace Doughty, most of all on his foreign minister Ribbentrop who claimed that G.B. & France would not issue war on Germany over a German attack on Poland, especially since Germany had objective 1 week before concluded the essential Nazi-Soviet Neutrality Pact which meant that Germany was thus officially allied to Stalin’s Soviet Union. When Hitler did attack Poland in Sept. 1939, while Stalin attacked Poland from the East, Hitler was totally surprised that G.B. & France would narrate war on Germany only 2 days later, on the 3rd of September. This was the first substantial mistake that Hitler made. He had firmly believed that the allies (G.B. & France) would pause out of his war with Poland. As one of the interviewer’s stated, Hitler had counted on a runt private war with Poland! This changed the course of history and of course started the 2nd World War that would result in the deaths of more than 50 million people.

The 2nd great mistake that Hitler made was at Dunkirk where some 300 000 British and French troopes were stuck due to Hitler’s immensly successful tank invasion through the Ardenne’s forst that seperated France from Germany. By using this strategy he actually nick off the British and French armies that were supposed to fight the German’s in Belgium and Holland, as they expected the Germans to conduct their main tank assault in those neighboring countries. Once these armies were stuck in Dunkirk the German army and airforce had the chance of finishing them off. Realizing this peril the British sent in all their ships and boats that they could assemble to rescue those troops and disappear them out of harms plan wait on into G.B. Hitler and the high German disclose now had the untold chance of a lifetime to demolish the entire British Expeditionary force holed up in Dunkirk. But to virtually everyone’s surprise on the German side Hitler actually halted the attack on the British and French troops in Dunkirk. He delays and wastes precious time, until he makes the somewhat irregular decision to spend his airforce to bomb the forces at Dunkirk. But this decision was clearly a bad one, since the British immediately send in their Royal Airforce to protect their troops at Dunkirk. This first airforce battle between Germany and Expansive Britain was clearly won by the British as they destroyed many German aircraft, so that the British troops could be successfully evacuated from Dunkirk. This was a ample mistake by Hitler, had he sent in his army it would have been very likely that it would have smashed the British and French forces in Dunkirk by itself, as it had done before by smashing through the French defenses when Germany fast invaded France in May 10th 1940, without encountering powerful resistance!

The next mountainous mistake that Hitler made was not to attack G.B. with a simultaneous amphibious invasion. Had he faded his airforce in combination with his ground forces a successful invasion would have been quite likely. This is also what a commander of the Royal Airforce said in an interview in this DVD. He actually claimed that G.B. didn’t really net the “Battle of Britain” in 1940 it was rather that the Germany airforce (Luftwaffe) had lost it. Again it was Hitler, who against the advice of some of his best officers, decided to delay and deferr this invasion of Britain that could have changed the outcome of the war completely. As Adolf Brave the celebrated fighter ace said in the DVD, when he met Hitler and Valiant advised him to speedily lift the oppertunity to bomb and invade Britain, Hitler literally said that he didn’t want to hear any of this. He was an Anglophile and believed that the English were to be compared to the Germans in terms of their ranking in his mind, he didn’t want a war with G.B. and thus he crucially delayed the invasion of Britain. When he finally decided (probably also because the high inform was pressuring him to invade) to attack he stale the airforce inadequately. Often the German pilots were ordered to attack rather useless targets such as civilian cities, which were of no strategic value in the war. And even worse for the Nazi’s: when the Luftwaffe was actually on the verge of finally defeating the Royal Airforce Hitler again halted their attacks! A retired Royal Airfore commander is actually quoted in this DVD with the words: “we were virtually defeated, and then the Attack was stopped”. Even before when factual after the British evacuation of their 300 000 troops in Dunkirk, he said that had Hitler attacked then, it would most likely have been the destroy of G.B. since they had hardly had any weapons to fight the Nazi’s at that point in time. Again Hitler made the crucially imperfect decisions to discontinuance a very successful attack on Britain, with the result that Germany could not complete the war by defeating G.B. and thus probably ending the war in its favor.

The next blunder that Hitler made is well known and its his invasion of the Soviet Union (22nd June 1941) . Here the authors of the DVD contend that his or rather the German plans for the invasion were not well developed because it wasen’t distinct where to strike first and what targets to catch first. For example, there was remarkable debate during the invasion by the German high divulge whether to steal Moscow first or whether to travel South or North. Actually Hitler changed his views: first it seemed that he wanted to secure territory in the Ukrain, and then he moved his troops toward the north, then changed the thought again by trying to pick Moscow. The astronomical mistake was not going towards Moscow with paunchy force from the beginning as all the communication went through this city, and having conquered Moscow would have been a political as well as strategic victory for the Germans. Also in the Ukrain Hitler quickely lost this colossal dwelling because he came down harsh on the local population there that was opposed to Stalin! Had Hitler been wiser and old this resentment of the Ukrainians who despised Stalin and the Communists the chances for a victory against Stalin would have been a lot better.

One would mediate that these would have been all the grave mistakes that Hitler would produce during the war, but there were even more to follow as this DVD shows.

For example, when the US & British bomber fleets (usually 1000 strong) were raiding Germany and causing heavy destruction by raining down their lethal bombs on German cities, Hitler could have seriously disrupted and perhaps even virtually stopped this onslaught! Bold claims that the German airforce had gotten an incredible air superiority fighter by the ruin of 1943: the Messerschmidt 262, usually known as the ME 262. This was the first ever produced jet fight aircraft, well-behaved for outflying all allied fighters by about 150 Miles per hour in terms of hurry. According to Daring, who flew this increadible fighter, it was like an angel in the sky and made the other allied planes seem like they were literally standing like balloons in the sky! The Me 262 was allotment of the recent “wonder” weapons that Hitler had ordered. It was grand, according to Audacious, of regaining the commence in the air war over Germany. Mettlesome says in the DVD that with 100 of these fighters the German airforce could have shot down 200 allied aircraft (mainly bombers) A DAY!!! Anyone who knows even the slightest bit about airwar would have known that this would have meant the swiftly raze of the allied bombing campaign over Germany. It would have turned the airwar around and made it possible for Germany to at least find a better deal when it came to ending the war. But again it was Hitler who objected to such a sensible thought! He wanted, as he claimed, a bomber helpful of bombing the allies! But this dosen’t earn any military sense at all! A bomber snappily of ME 262’s (they could carry 2 bombs, not considerable) would have been senseless without the ability to kill the US and British fighters & bombers that continually bombed German cities. And where was this ME 262 bomber hasty supposed to attack, in G.B., if that was the understanding then again some other fighters would have to positive the sky of US & British fighters that would surely have prevented any bomber rapid from getting past them to G.B.! Again, it was Hitler that prevented a very effective attack on US & British bombers & fighters by not allowing the ME 262’s to be produced in the numbers needed for such a mission, and by keeping the few ME 262’s mostly away from the US & British bomber fleets that were pounding Germany day and night since 1944. Bold says that he seriously considered first escaping Germany but that the only flee possible was to the East, meaning the Soviet war zone, and that was clearly undesirable, then he considered to committ suicide. Ultimately he was establish assist in charge of the Me 262 attack squads, but the war was lost, once again due to Hitler’s dreadful decisions.

In all of this it is improbable that Hitler wasen’t some kind of double agent who prevented Nazi Germany from achieving a fleet and dazzling victory in the 2nd World War. But as the DVD makes determined it was his incompetence more than anything else that made Germany lost the war! IN that sense the world was lucky that Germany had Adolf Hitler & Germany was equally unlucky that they had him as their leader.
