The Germans were doomed. They had the Russians approaching from the West and the British and Americans approaching from the East and South. If they retreated north, they would have gotten even colder and they would have been eventually chased all the way to the Arctic circle.

I do not understand why the Germans continued to fight post-1943 when all was lost and it was only a matter of time.

Colorization has come a long way.

"Germans continued to fight ....don't know much but if the Germans had attacked Russia instead of France the west might have let them keep it.

I truly believe that most Americans, even educated ones, still to this day do not comprehend the ferocity of what happened on the Eastern front. These guys were doing Metal of Honor worthy actions DAILY! I mean that as respect to the men on both sides. There are books that explainn this in great detail. It’s truly shocking.

The professional German officer thought little of the ill advised strategies of Hitler. He was oft spoke of as “the corporal”. To stop his attack on England to change strategy by attacking a huge nation like Russia which he had a non aggression pact with was moronic. He blew his chance to decimate the British at Dunkirk during the boat lift.

Hitler was a horrible military leader.

It’s terrible the harm that one truly bad man can inflict on the world. Pray for America.

The Germans fought on to buy time so that advanced weapons such as the V-2 Rocket and jet aircraft could be more widely used. V-1 or V-2 Rockets armed with atomic war heads would have changed the direction of the war completely and may have spelled disaster for the allies, especially Great Britain.

To quote from 'Gladiator':

Quintus: People should know when they are conquered.

Maximus: Would you, Quintus? Would I?

I'll say. Video cameras were giant, heavy, and grainy back then.

Do some reading on the "Dulchstoss". It will explain everything.

Indeed. Had he let his generals dictate strategy, the Nazis would have won the war in Europe, and the Americans would have either not gotten involved or would have sued for peace with a Nazi controlled Europe to have a buffer against the Soviet Union.

Yeah, and making it difficult for Hitler to do "selfies" too.

Interesting to see video taken by the enemy.

When I was back in Vietnam a few years ago, I was fascinated by war footage taken by VC and NVA cameramen that aired on TV. Glimpses of the way they saw it. Interesting indeed.
