How strong was Germany during World War II? A set of data tells you:
Take down Denmark in 4 hours
1 day to win Luxembourg
5 days to win the Netherlands
18 days to win Belgium
Poland was taken in 28 days
39 days to take France
62 days to win Norway
In the end, the United States paid for weapons, Britain contributed resources, and the Soviet Union sent troops and manpower, and it took a full 4 years to defeat Germany. It shows how strong Germany was at that time!
In fact, during World War II, the reason why Germany was able to defeat the enemy was nothing more than the following 4 points:
First, Germany's economic advantages. Although the economic development of Germany, as a defeated country, quickly fell into a trough after the end of World War I, before the start of World War II, Germany's economy had recovered to a good level, even surpassing the victorious countries in World War I such as Britain and France. This was an important reason why they were able to gain an advantage quickly in the early stages of the war.
Second, the German command system and tactics. In World War II, Germany is undoubtedly best known for its blitzkrieg tactics. With mechanized troops as the core, they quickly penetrated deep into the enemy's defense line, disrupted the enemy's strategic deployment, and then defeated the enemy with the follow-up infantry units.
Third, the advanced weapons of the German army. Excellent armament was a key factor in the German army's ability to gain an advantage on the battlefield. German submarines, Tiger tanks, V-2 rockets, jet fighters and other weapons are far more effective than other countries.
Fourth, the most crucial reason for the strong fighting power of the German army is that under the brainwashing of the Nazi parties, the German army was convinced of the national theory they advocated!
Of course, even if they have many advantages and show one or two of the best fighting power in World War II, they will eventually lose to the righteous side. Because behind Nazi Germany was an anti-human genocidal policy and the numerous crimes they committed.
