The beginning of World War II was when Germany attacked Poland with 1.2 million German troops. Until the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, they had almost taken the whole of Europe without losing a single battle, and their strength was more and more fighting, and the more courageous they were. Absolutely out of the crowd, the Germans were at their most in 1941, with a total strength of 10.2 million men.
Germany has limited national strength and a limited population, and the maximum number of troops they can mobilize is so much. When these armies are finished, it will be time for them to lose.
Of course, judging by the situation at that time, it seemed impossible for Germany to lose the battle.
However, they encountered the Soviet Union. Fighting with the Soviet Union, they understood what it was that the Soviet Union did not know that the Soviet Union had a large land. Other European countries, as long as they bombed with aircraft, they would obediently surrender, because the territory was too small to have no place to hide.
However, the Soviet Union was different.
Lightning strikes were a trick that didn't work for the Soviets, and not only that, they would fight back.
In the end, the strategic depth of the Soviet Union and the cold weather became the graveyard of the German army, and to put it bluntly, they were defeated in the Soviet Union as Napoleon was then.
So, how many of them were there when Germany announced its surrender? At this time, have they reached the point of running out of food?
We can do the math:
In 1945, after Yue Fei's Soviet, British and American troops entered Germany, they occupied a large number of German territories, which marked that Germany had no room for resistance, and if the war continued, Germany would reach the point of annihilation.
In this case, let's see how many soldiers are still in Germany?
1. Courland was surrounded by 300,000 German troops
2. Czechoslovakia has about 400,000-500,000 people
3. There are about 200,000-300,000 people in southern Europe
4. There are about 200,000 people in Norway
5. Plus The Austrians, the troops stationed on the Western Front.
In total, less than 2 million troops were added up.
The point is that these soldiers are scattered rangers, and the Germans are in a passive beating, and the only way for them to survive is to surrender.
We all know that Hitler died by suicide, and his death marked the complete defeat of Germany, and only the war was hopeless.
In order not to be humiliated like Mussolini after his death, he told his men to burn his own body.
Hitler committed suicide after lunch on April 30, 1945.
As soon as Hitler died, Germany's morale was completely shattered, in fact, Hitler's death was to give hope to other Germans.
Only when they die can others surrender and choose to compromise.
The German army could not defend their country, in fact, it had little to do with the lack of soldiers, and more importantly, their country's resources were exhausted.
Fighting wars is not a war of words, it needs to be replenished by various resources.
Just as the most precious resources of the war (oil, steel, coal, rubber, etc.) were all exhausted by the German army, the untapped resources were occupied or controlled by the Allies.
Germany alone cannot turn around in terms of resources.
In addition, Germany's loss is related to two pig teammates, one is Italy and the other is Japan. These two pig teammates could not help Germany, and they also set up a strong enemy for Germany everywhere.
Italy, as we all know, is no drama in war, and surrender always comes first. They surrendered in the First World War, and so did the Second World War.
Throughout the course of the campaign they always asked the Germans to send troops to their aid, depleting a large number of German forces. With this pig teammate, they can't fly.
However, this Japanese pig teammate even killed them.
After all, Japan was even more fierce and bold, and even went so far as to provoke the United States and let the United States join the war, which also marked that neither Germany nor Japan could win the war.
You must know that the weapons on the European battlefield at that time were basically from the United States. With the support of the United States, an arsenal of weapons and ammunition, the Soviet Union, and other European countries, they are not short of weapons at the most bizarre.
So Germany's failure was doomed.
You said that when you meet two pig teammates like this, Germany, even if it is excellent, it is impossible to win the battle. So Germany is facing powerful opponents that make it impossible for them to win.
The Soviet Union was a tough opponent, and the British and American armies were a tough one. If you touch these two hard bones, you will undoubtedly die.
