This lecturer when he speaks of Hitler he might as well be describing trump! Jejejejejejejejeje…11 years ago…..

Wrong question, why Jews won that war again?

Hitler lost the war because his doctor fed him full of crystal meth,heroin and God knows what else turning him into a paranoid schizophrenic which caused him to stop trusting his Generals.

This is the most hack history lecture ive ever heard in my life. So incomplex and uncomprehensive.

Nothing new here.

Rome attempted to subdue Anglia, eventually Rome retreated. Then the Spanish had a go and were in turn defeated by Lord Nelson. Then the Huns rose in the Third Reich, but that too spluttered and died. Now comes Islam, and Britain immediately wilts. God spare us all !!

communications with Hodges were never broken.

Germany lost because general Patton had decoy tanks thousands of them full of air. Germany saw them and surrendered...

Bunk about Britain being days from operational collapse at the Battle of Britain. UK was by then outproducing Germany in fighter aircraft. Certain airdromes and wings were hevily taxed. Most untouched. UK wisely started fresh wings on the Atlantic coast. And as they got experienced moved them torwards south east England.

Great Lecture. Thank you.

I'm not attacking this talk. there are many and varried reasons why Germany fell and I would agree Nazi dogma clouded German war making ability in so many ways and it was an important reason for it losing. . But Germany was not ready to take on Russia... they lacked the Hardware, Man power, organization in repair and re-supply , so much to list here. General Wagner predicted very accurately the problems in the lack of resources and the lack of rolling stock .. plus the distances and lack of roads, bad intelligence, and lack of Germany to have a realistic grand strategy . If they had been better in tools and execution .... they could maybe have gotten to Moscow sooner... but they probably could not have taken Moscow... and they certainly could not have held it in 1942. . The whole idea that all they needed to do is take Moscow is wrong IMO. Russia had more soldiers and war factories past Moscow. . ... even if Moscow was captured.. German production could not keep up.

I remember hearing that when America came into the war they were only 17th in the global ranking of powerful militaries. But by the end of the war their economy was in a much healthier shape, due largely I think to the might of their war production, and of course without the Americans we would never have won the war

Amazing talk and energy Mr. Knott!!!! The only tragedy here is that I can't find the part of the talk by Dr. Sommers. :( And there isn't enough of you on UA-cam either Mr. Knott.

Can you imagine if the president had someone who spoke against him arrested? Actually yes I can.... sad in 2024.

The main component was the lack of being prepared for deterrence with a mighty army by the allied nations before the war. See the us today.

Perhaps it was when Germany decided to fight THE WORLD.

There are some things to remember about "On War". First, it wasn't complete. Clausewitz had intended to reedit and arrange the material before he died from cholera in Poland as chief of staff of the Prussian forces involved in assisting the Russians in suppressing a Polish uprising. What we are seeing is not the final product. Second, Clausewitz was a philosopher like Kant and others of the German school. He would state a theory at its purest and then work back on how the theory applied to reality and was modified by reality. He states that violence will always escalate to its maximum level. but then explains why this doesn't happen in reality due to issues such as the "fog of war", political concerns and objectives and limits to the resources available to the opponents. He never meant that violence would or even should escalate to its maximum potential as some have accused. Third, just as important as the baseline statement "war is a continuation of policy by other means" (organized violence by a state or non-state actor is a continuation of the acts by those actors, military and otherwise, to achieve a desired political end state) are his identification of the "Holy Trinity" of government, people and army (armed forces) (represent each as a circle and then draw the circles with overlap representing the integration of that actor with the others. In 1806, the government and army would significantly overlap each other but only barely overlap the people. In Israel, the circles are almost contiguous, with barely any space between them), the "fog of war", the duality of war (the enemy has a vote) and war as a human activity (by every measure the North Vietnamese should not have succeeded in their desired political end state, yet they did). Third, Clausewitz has sometimes been accused of being an "ivory tower" Soldier. In fact, Clausewitz had extensive field service as a company grade officer from 1793-1796 and 1805-06 and as a staff officer in a general officer combat command. He was, in fact, Thielmann's (Prussian IV Corps (IIRC) chief of staff during the Waterloo campaign. This was a period when general officers were expected to expose themselves and the communications systems for exercising command had a shorter range than the weapons systems being employed. Four, Clausewitz was a published historian BEFORE the release by his widow of "On War", both books, articles and essays, including an analysis of Napoleon's Russian 1812 Campaign. Finally, Clausewitz was not saying that war was the only way to achieve a desire political end state, he said that it was ONE of ways in a combination of ways that could be used to do so. On War is still relevant as Sun Tzu when read within the context of themes that apply to military strategy throughout history and to strategic planning today. Work through the Syracuse Campaign of Alcibiades and Athens by identifying the desired political end state and evaluating political and military planning and performance within that context.

I have an opinion not backed by science. Aside from all the major, academically accepted reasons for Nazi’s downfall - I think that in the end, the ideology of evil is a tiresome one. A human or group of humans cannot rely on hatred to fuel them to ultimate success. The Allies’ ideological commitment to “Fight evil” fueled their drive for victory.

hitler the vile incompetent fool lost the way because of hitler and the germans have a long history of starting wars they cannot and never win it’s nazi incompetence that does them in every time as history book profess

I would factor in his sense of urgency. Hitler was most interested in what he could do in his lifetime.

He lost it because he started it. Nazi Germany never had any chance of winning

Great presentation, but I wish the camera operator had shown the slides when he referred to them.....

They lost because the Rothchilds deemed it so.

Nifty Kean

Why you don't put an Artillery guy in charge of a countet insurgency.....he ballsed it up sugar coat it how yiu want ✌️

England may be an Anglo Saxon nation, Scotland & Wales most certainly aren't, we are Celts & were on the island of Britain before the Germanic English, especially the Welsh who are the original Britons.

General Westmoreland should have been fired. This reminds me of the book The Generals by Thomas E Ricks. Failure to fire generals after world War II has costs the US military greatly.

Hitler lost the war due to his belief that he was always right and not listening to his generals. They advised against attacking Poland and checoslovakia before they were ready for example.

This is British propaganda and disinformation.

I take that back 15 minutes into a 30 minute talk. He’s just now getting to JEB Stuart 😂😂

11 minutes into a 30 minute talk and he still isn’t talking about Jeb Stuart and Carlisle😂😂😂

HI

I received my SMLM (Soviet Military Liaison Mission) card when I arrived in West Germany in the mid 80s as a brand new infantry private. I guess every American soldier received one. The card showed an example of a SMLM license plate which a Soviet vehicle was required to display whilst in the West. It also provided a telephone number to call if one was spotted; the plate had a number, I believe, and this is what identified the specific mission. I wonder if this was intended to keep tabs on them, and did it work?

the subtle jokes😂

This an excellent presentation of the civil war political considerations and military objectives. Thank you

I think they simply made too many enemies

We Indians usually throw away gems and wear plastic ornaments instead.Kautillya was a gem and gandi was plastic. And if u try to suggest kautilya's arthashasthra to anyone in India, u get the label of Hindu fascist.

So in effect the main cause of the downfall of Hitler was Hitler himself.

Boring presentation of an interesting topic.

Let me make it short for you: 1. You don’t want to fight entire world on your own. No matter how strong you may be, you can’t fight everyone by yourself. 2. You must always have an exit plan. At certain stage, you must stop if losing. 3. If you make a deal. Keep it. Germans made deal with Russians to divide Poland in half, and German didn’t stop there and attacked Russia afterwards. 4. Use politics. Winning at the table without actually fight is better rewarding. 5. German intelligence service was almost non-existing. That was a tremendous mistake. 6. Lastly, you don’t want to continually go on an offensive mission. You attack-stop-attack-stop and so on.. you gotta digest what you earn. When you try to eat more and more without digesting, guess what happens, you get sick and can’t function well anymore.. which is what happened to the German commanders. They were too drunk in power that they thought they can continue without having any resistance. They got fcked in Moscow and London attacks.

‘Hitler lost the war’ because Russia defeated them . Obviously

Wow!

Germany is not 'an Anglo-Saxon nation'. The English (in England today) are mostly Danish and Frisian, not much Saxon German (though many are). If you look at the DNA map of Proto-Germanic U106, Germany itself is less Germanic than western Denmark, southern Norway and most of England (that is, the coastal North Sea Germanic-Scandinavians).

Unfortunately Hitler lost.

When our troops on the beaches, the King called for aday of prayer,the country responded and the changes were amazing, small boat owners said the channel was a calm as a mill pond, never done this before, the sky to stormy for the Luftwaffe, so this was for the nine days it took to clear the beaches, a panzer group was racing to Dunkirk and was suddenly ordered to stop by hitler, no one ever found out why and they had to stay put.

Midwit.

Hitler could have had England if they keep bombing them they would have lost in 1940”s

Hitler was full of drugs thanks to his doctor. That made him do mistakes. The hero of WWII is his doctor I believe.

The current Populists are taking notes I am sure.

It's really sick that this guy wasn't court martialed after his delay of deploying the NG on Jan 6th.
