-
Because the Soviet Union is a tough nut to crack for Germany, and the Soviet Union's military strength is relatively strong, so if you want to destroy the Soviet Union first, it will be easy later.
-
Because Germany was originally capitalist and the Soviet Union was socialist, the two were not opposed, and Germany saw that the Soviet Union's economic system was problematic and contradictory, so it was easier to defeat them, so it insisted on attacking the Soviet Union.
-
Maybe it's because of Hitler's ambitions, and he was very jealous of the Soviet Union, always thinking about getting rid of it as soon as possible, after all, it is also a big country.
-
It may be that he believed that Britain, with the support of the United States, could no longer make further progress in its offensive against Britain. And in the face of Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front, the German army must be similar, Field Marshal Hindenburg, and quickly solve the security problem on the Eastern Front.
-
It is mainly due to national strength and strategy.
1. In terms of national strength, the gap between the two is very obvious. Germany's land area is small, resources are not abundant, except for the Ruhr area can produce a large amount of coal, the rest of the strategic resources have to rely on foreign imports, such as iron ore from Sweden, tungsten, antimony and other strategic resources from China, oil is a short board, is to occupy the oil fields of Romania and the Soviet Union Baku to meet the needs of the war. The Soviet Union did not have this problem, the territory was vast, and all kinds of resources were completely self-sufficient, and even if it lost the oil fields in Baku, it could still rely on the oil fields in Siberia to make up for it.
2. Another gap in national strength is reflected in the industrial system and production capacity. Germany's best quality, like the "Tiger" tank and the "Leopard" tank, can completely torture and kill the T-34, but, according to statistics, the Soviet Union can produce 5 T-34s, and the "Tiger" tank can produce more. So the USSR could produce the T-34 in a steady stream and use the quantity to suppress the German tanks.
This can be reflected in the huge industrial gap between the two countries.
3. Germany began with a wrong strategy. Originally, Germany's plan was to wait for Britain to sue for peace before attacking the Soviet Union, but Hitler misjudged the form and opened up the eastern theater of war on the premise that Britain still resolutely resisted, resulting in a two-front battle. Moreover, although the Soviet Union was taken by surprise at the beginning and suffered heavy losses, the Soviet Union had long been ready for war, but it did not expect the war to be advanced.
Moreover, the Soviet Union's consistent strategy was to trade space for time, to drag Germany to death with its huge territory, and to launch a counterattack by relying on the complete military industry in the rear. Therefore, although the Soviet Union had a bad start, it still developed according to the strategy set by itself, and it can be said that it adopted a correct strategy that was completely in line with itself, and defeated Germany step by step.
4. Germany's best design ideas are also not suitable for large-scale wars. Take the "Tiger" tank as an example, although this tank is good, it is too complicated, it is very inconvenient to maintain on the battlefield, and it takes too long to train a car crew, which seriously limits the use on the battlefield. When the Soviet Union designed the first class, it was able to be simple and simple, and the production was rapid, and it could be used without special training.
This line of thinking is perfectly suited to the needs of large-scale national wars. This was also an aspect of Germany's defeat.
-
Hitler's ambition was too great and he wanted to dominate the world, which aroused the vigilance of the world, causing Germany to fight on multiple fronts and commit a great taboo. Coupled with strategic mistakes, preparations for a quick takedown of the Soviet Union led to a lack of supplies in cold weather, and the army had no combat effectiveness. The combination of underestimating the Soviet people's determination to resist the war and the strategy of clearing the walls and clearing the wilderness, which was terrifying to the German army, led to Germany's defeat.
-
In essence, Germany's strength is inferior to that of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union has an absolute advantage over Germany in terms of troops, resources, and materials and equipment.
-
If Germany had only one enemy, the Soviet Union, Germany would have easily defeated the Soviet Union! The battle line is too long, and his enemies are almost the most developed countries in the world, you can imagine how terrible Germany is! I think Germany was the strongest country in World War II (I think Germany was strong because the Germans were very down-to-earth in everything they did).
-
Just like the second floor said, the battle line is too long, and the logistics supply is not enough.
Moreover, there are too many warring countries and they are under siege.
There was also the mistake of launching an air war against Britain instead of the initial landing (which greatly hastened the fall of the empire).
-
The reason is very simple, because several major powers in the world attacked Germany at the same time, so Germany could not bear it.
-
The ability of a great power to resist an attack. It would be difficult for Germany to kill the Soviet Union, and it would be difficult for Japan to defeat China.
There are three countries in the world: the United States, Russia, China. Great depth, can consume all force, but it is ineffective against politics.
-
The land is large, the material is abundant, the people are large, and the industrial capacity is desperately resisting.
-
The German front was too long and the logistics were not enough.
-
There were too many Soviets, and Germany had two theaters.
-
It can't be said that it is completely impossible. For example, avoid rushing and adopt a step-by-step strategy. Specifically, it is to expand gradually and advance steadily. Wait until you are more prepared, and then attack the Soviet Union.
But this approach may work in the central and western regions of Europe, but it may not work in the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. This was because the Soviet Union was sensitive at the same time (Stalin's time) and pursued an offensive strategy towards Eastern Europe (it had tried to sign a contract with Germany to recognize its sphere of influence in Bulgaria or Romania). Therefore, this move can only be said to be theoretically possible to finally defeat the Soviet Union
Furthermore, time waits for no one. Before the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union had completed two "five-year plans," and the country's overall strength had greatly increased. If Germany does not strike first, it will be the first to move.
Wait until the future to do it, and it will be even more difficult. Therefore, Hitler launched the Barbarossa plan and blitzkrieg the Soviet Union with all his might. As the so-called success is also Xiao He, and defeat Xiao He.
Family affairs and state affairs are all the same

Quite possibly.
First of all, the Führer's strategy was very painful, Britain only had one breath left, there were almost no anti-tank guns on the island of Great Britain, and the Germans actually stopped attacking...
Even if 10 divisions were sent to feed the fish in the English Channel, as long as 2 armored divisions went to the island of Great Britain, they would be able to sweep the British Empire.
Britain didn't get things done, so they went to fight the Soviet Union, and the originally planned blitzkrieg, because Italy couldn't get Greece, and the German army helped to sweep the Balkans, delaying for a month, and if it didn't delay this month, it might have dodged Moscow.
Germany did not want to occupy the entire Soviet Union at all, Siberia, a place where people could freeze to death, and the German army only needed to occupy the traditional Russian region, that is, west of the Ural Mountains, the Greater Caucasus, and Kiev, which were important industrial areas.
As for the Siberian forests of 10,000 kilometers to the east, I don't want to give them to the Führer.
Having said that, if the Soviet Union really lost these areas, it would be equivalent to the destruction of the country, and it could only run to Vladivostok as a third-rate country.
So if you look back at the war history of the German army, you can only say that it was a little bit.
If not in the Balkans to delay that month.
If you think about it a little more thoughtfully, equip the German army with winter equipment.
If the Führer is a little more forceful, don't doubt your army generals, especially don't trust that NC Goering.
The strategic objective has been achieved.
But history has no ifs ...
The Soviet Union did not flash through, Britain came to life, and brought the United States here, and then just. .
-
It is possible that, without the support of the Allies, Germany could have taken Moscow by gathering all the Tiger tanks.
-
In any case, it is impossible, Germany's strength is very limited, compared to the Soviet Union's almost unlimited resources and troops, at most it can only win for a while, and it will inevitably fail in a protracted war, the Soviet Union can defeat Germany as long as it is simply attrition, in fact, the Soviets did this, although the Soviet Union's losses far exceeded Germany's, even in the middle and late stages of the later battles, they were often equivalent to the Germans, but the Soviet Union could afford it, and the Germans could not afford this strength.
-
Probably of course, but it's just a question of how likely it is. Germany wanted to take Moscow directly, and then capture Kiev and Leningrad in a roundabout way, and also wanted Japan to join the war against the Soviet Union, and the two sides could defeat the Soviet Union only if they met with the largest force and the fastest speed in the Soviet Union and completely destroyed the Soviet army. But in that case, Germany and Japan will not have any combat effectiveness, so Japan is afraid that it will not be able to defeat the United States, and Germany will also stop its pace of aggression, so it will not be long before the Anglo-American coalition forces will be able to defeat Germany.
So, even if Hitler had good luck destroying the Soviet Union, the Axis would not have won at all.
-
In the winter of 1941, a large part of Soviet industry had been transferred to the Ural Mountains, and even if the Leningrad-Moscow-Stalingrad line was not held, the Soviet Union still had huge depth that could be used to counterattack the German army. What's more, on the day of the Soviet-German war, Britain announced that it would aid the Soviet Union, and with the British there, it was impossible for the United States not to participate in the war all the time. In the face of America's enormous industrial potential, the Axis powers could hardly escape the fate of eventual defeat, no matter what they did.
-
The possibility is very small, because even if Germany defeated several fronts in front of them at that time, there were still more than a million troops in the Far East that were not put into battle, and the manufacturing capacity of the Soviet Union was not fatally damaged, even in the most difficult period, it could still produce all kinds of ** normally, and Germany was doomed to be difficult to succeed in attacking the Soviet Union in the situation at that time.
-
With a probability of 7,8 percent, the Germans were almost undefeated before the blitzkrieg on the USSR after all! (If the more than 300,000 British troops had not been allowed to slip away, Britain would have perished) The morale is high and the tactics are advanced, if we concentrate our forces, take Moscow, and capture Stalin alive, it will destroy the will of the Soviets to resist, and the Soviet Union will soon die!
-
Of course not, after all, the overall strength is still under the USSR. As long as the Soviet Union avoids the edge, it can drag Germany to death.
The Soviet Union and the United States knew that Germany's scientific and technological level was the best in the world at that time, and German scientists were also of the greatest value.
Beat it. But at a great cost. The United States can be stronger than Germany and Japan because of the huge scale of its industry. >>>More
