In 1939, the Fascist Axis powers, composed of Nazi Germany and Italy and Japan, together with the vassal states of Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, launched a war of aggression that swept the entire world, and to date the largest war in human history and the most painful price for all mankind was The Second World War. The war spanned three continents and four oceans, with 110 million troops and more than 51.2 million deaths.
The person who pushed this world war to the climax was Hitler, who promoted fascism, and because of his rise to power, Germany's frenzied expansion of armaments and wars plunged the Western battlefield into a sea of blood. However, with the formation of the Allies against fascism and the Battle of Stalingrad, the Western theater began to enter a strategic turning point in favor of the Allies.
Faced with American support for the Allies and the Allied advances towards the Rhine, the Allies went from south to north, and the Soviets, after annihilating the Germans in the territory, attacked the German mainland from north to south. At this time, the remnants of the German army were dragged to the front by the Allies, and once recalled by Hitler, Germany, which had lost both wings, would only hasten its demise.
In the final moments of World War II, Hitler still had four million soldiers in his hands, which sounds like a big number, but know that the Soviet army at that time had more than twice as many soldiers. At that time, the Soviet army had completed the encirclement of the German army, and the German army in the encirclement circle could only be finally annihilated.
Another point is that more than four million troops are not all concentrated in Berlin, they are scattered in Austria and Hungary, Germany, Austria and other regions, and the number of soldiers who really use it to defend Berlin is actually not much, and it is obviously impossible to resist the powerful Soviet army in this case.
However, the number of troops at this time had nothing to do with the war, the most important thing was that most of the German industry was destroyed, energy was scarce, the granary was exhausted, and the ammunition was exhausted. Moreover, the American and British troops on the Eastern Front had already approached the city of Berlin, and the Soviet troops on the Western Front were directly attacking the center of Berlin, and Hitler, in desperation, stubbornly chose to commit suicide with his newly married wife.
At the end of the war, including most of the German troops, in fact, war-weariness had already been generated, especially in the case of a series of blind command of the German Fuehrer at that time, which led to strategic problems, in fact, there were theoretically four million troops that could be put into battle, but the theoretical strength did not mean that it could be directly put into use, the key was to look at a series of comprehensive problems such as logistics supply and strategic objectives.
