To say that during World War II, Hitler's biggest problem was his two allies, Italy and Japan. As the only 3 fascist countries in the world at that time, alliances were an inevitable trend. But what Hitler did not expect was that these two countries would be so pitted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are pig teammates in today's words.
Originally, the military strength of the World War II period belonged to the world's top, and Germany, which was still dominant in the early stage, was dragged into a disadvantage by life, and even lost the war in the end, which is not unrelated to the two allies of Italy and Japan.
Let's talk about Italy, which was geographically located with Germany and could be described as a loyal ally of Hitler. Hitler also had great trust in the Italian army, not only supporting them with the best German equipment, but also being superior to the German army in terms of salary. But the people of Italy did not like Mussolini's authoritarian dictatorship and did not like to fight wars. So that even if he participated in World War II, he was passive and sluggish.
At that time, the Italian troops claimed to be the fastest to surrender, and it was by no means empty. The Italians, who cherished their lives as gold, naturally refused to give Hitler their lives. Take the North African battlefield in that year, Italy was full of elite equipment, but even Ethiopia could not take it, and even was beaten by Greece on the Mediterranean side to find teeth.
Especially later in the war, the Italian army was driven to the mountains of Albania by the Anglo-Greek forces in Greece. Under the siege, Hitler had to mobilize troops to help Italy break the siege, which also missed the best time for Hitler to attack the Soviet Union.
However, compared with Japan, Italy is still much better. As the ally that caused Hitler the most headache, Japan can be said to be stupid. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union before, Japan did not help Germany to jointly attack the Soviet Union, so that in the end Hitler could only fight alone. This also led to a sharp reversal of the situation in World War II.
Later, Germany thought that Japan should not help me besiege the Soviet Union, and first go to create some trouble for the British colonists in India, to divert the British troops that made Germany invincible on the European battlefield. Japan did so, and also sent 100,000 elite troops out of the country, but before they reached India, they were beaten by the allies of Burma and Vietnam, and finally 100,000 elite troops were beaten to 50,000, and even India did not arrive to evacuate Southeast Asia.
This also allowed Britain to concentrate on dealing with Germany, and eventually formed a pinch with the Soviet army, leaving Hitler with the enemy on his back. Of course, this is not the worst place in Japan. What made Hitler most desperate was that Japan also provoked a country that even Hitler did not dare to provoke.
This country must have been guessed by readers that it was the United States, and before the alliance was formed, Hitler had warned Japan not to involve the United States in this battle. Because the United States made a fortune in the war during World War I, during World War II, it was already the world's leading military power, and even Hitler was not sure that he could get the United States, so how could he let Japan do it.
However, Japan's militarist ideology is too fanatical, and under the vigorous advocacy of the slogan of "greater East Asia co-prosperity," the entire Japanese people and government have fallen into blindness, believing that their military strength is invincible in the world, and that the United States is not an opponent at all.
So, we all know what happened later. At the end of 1941, the Japanese army attacked the US army pearl harbor, and the United States was forced to get involved in World War II. The Pacific War broke out, and the Japanese army was not only swollen by the nose and face of the US army, but also undermined Hitler's "appeasement" strategy for the United States. The Allies on the European battlefield also received strong armament and fire support from the United States, completely destroying the German army, which was known as a torrent of steel.
Less than three years after the United States entered the war, Germany and Japan surrendered one after another. It can be said that the reason why Germany was able to collapse so quickly during World War II was that Japan contributed at least half of its efforts. Such a "pig teammate", presumably Hitler, even if he committed suicide, could not swallow this breath.
