The information of the German army during World War II, to summarize, do not use the information of

Before 1939, Germany was not ready to start World War II, at least in terms of war material reserves, Germany was still very dependent on the United States, which was very admired by Japan.

At that time, the middle and bottom classes of Germany were extremely depressed, and it was not an exaggeration to describe them as dire and miserable, so even if they knew that they were going to fight, they would not have any emotions, because there was no hope in life, and it made no difference to them to die early or late.

"Before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first" is a common saying among soldiers, which also shows that adequate pre-war preparation plays a crucial role in the victory of a war. Do you know what preparations Germany made before World War II? Vigorously developing industry is first of all vigorously developing.

From the end of World War I in 1918 to the launch of World War II in 1939, Germany, as a defeated country in World War I, once again became the hegemon of Europe in just 20 years, and once again had the strength to launch World War II and challenge other European powers.

In any case, preparations for war will never be sufficient, especially Germany, which lacks resources, must rely on foreign countries, so it can only implement the strategy of feeding war with war, while invading other countries, and then using the resources of other countries to expand the invasion.

The strategic intention of the German army was to concentrate the main forces on the southern flank of the Soviet-German battlefield, quickly capture the Caucasus and Stalingrad, occupy Baku and the lower Volga region, seize the rich oil resources, grain and industrial facilities, and then take Moscow in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south. The Germans initially concentrated their main forces in the Caucasus direction, attempting to guarantee the assault on the Caucasus with offensive operations in the Stalingrad direction first.

The army is strict, with seamless, excellent, individual equipment can be called the strongest, most handsome and most effective in World War II, whether it is ** and a lot of individual equipment is not outdated until now, combat effectiveness can be called the ceiling, can fight the retreat war like an offensive war is only the German army, faith plus self-confidence and strict army plus excellent equipment, how can you say that it can be poor, according to the statistics at the time, 7 Allied forces dared to single-handedly single out a German army, no exaggeration,

It is a division of tigers and wolves. The German army was well-equipped, highly disciplined, and advanced in tactical concepts, and was a very strong army with combat effectiveness.

It was a very powerful army, and at that time, the German army was well-equipped and very advanced.

A strong army. The German army was neatly groomed, brave in battle, and very rigorous in its work, making it a very powerful army.

The early victory came too quickly and easily, otherwise Germany would not have attacked the Soviet Union easily.

On military strength may be the strongest, if Germany only fights one of the Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the victory rate is at least seventy percent, and only the United Kingdom may be 100 percent, but at the same time with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, it is indeed a bit difficult, the United States is too far, the German navy is not enough to compare with the United States, but the level of the army is almost crushing, Britain has also proved that it is inferior to the German army, the Dunkirk retreat was killed and the armor was abandoned, if it were not for the navy entangled with Germany, it may have been landed a long time ago, as for the Soviet Union, The only advantage is the large number of people and the determination to be strong, and the military level alone is still a little worse, and the navy has not played much.

Some people say that if Germany attacks China during World War II, China will soon be ...... destroyedPure nonsense! At that time, China had few roads and railways, no oil industry, no gas stations everywhere, very backward, coupled with a vast territory and a large population, the Germans played a modern blitzkrieg ...... no effect at allThe vehicle ran out of fuel and couldn't be refueled, the Tiger Leopard tank was out of fuel and couldn't be refueled, and the plane couldn't fly when it ran out of fuel......A mighty modern army has instantly become a pile of scrap metal, and it is difficult to move an inch, plus the compatriots of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are the guerrilla tactics of the Communist Party, do you think it can win?

Whatever factors are thrown away, it is a shame for an aggressor's army.

Why abandon political positions?

These three sentences are easier to understand if we interpret them separately.

If Italy were the enemy, we would need only 10 divisions to defeat him. This article fully underestimated Germany's contempt for Italy's combat effectiveness, but it was understandable, because Italy's combat effectiveness was indeed not worth mentioning in World War II. It can be seen from before the outbreak of World War II that before the attack on Ethiopia, a weak country in Africa, it took great effort to occupy Ethiopia by using planes, tanks and even poison gas that violated international law; After the outbreak of World War II, when Germany had already occupied Paris, France, the Italian 20 divisions failed to defeat the Franco-Italian border defended by 8 French divisions (not to mention that the French capital was occupied by Germany), and then attacked Greece and North Africa, losing troops and losing troops, without the help of the German fascists, I really don't know how Mussolini would end up, which is why the Germans despised the combat effectiveness of the Italian army.

If Italy is neutral, we need 20 divisions to defend against him. This sentence mainly reflects that Italy is a vacillating country. It was undoubtedly revealed in the First World War that Italy had joined the Central Powers led by Germany before the outbreak of World War I, and after the outbreak of World War I, after Britain and France promised Italy territorial and other conditions, Italy immediately joined the Entente to fight and stabbed Austria-Hungary fiercely; It was when the signs of France's defeat were revealed after the outbreak of World War II, Italy hurriedly took advantage of the fire to declare war on Britain and France, wanting to make a fortune in the war against France, Mussolini did not expect his army to be so embarrassed and vulnerable, so Germany's sentence really reflected the situation of Italy back then.

If Italy is an ally, we need to defend it with 30 divisions. This sentence also reflects the difference in Italy's combat effectiveness to that extent. A few examples highlight this sentence the most:

In Africa, the Italian anti-aircraft artillery unit knocked down the plane of its own Libyan governor-general, Marshal Gbagbo; In the confrontation with the British army in North Africa, he surrendered after only a few shots, because there was no crowbar to open the shell box (it is absolutely ironic that the highest-ranking general killed in World War II was shot down by his own people); The only ** landing of the US army in Sicily is that a soldier was bitten by a lion in the zoo, etc., there are too many such jokes about the Italian army in World War II, no wonder the Germans say that cute Italians only know opera literature and women, but do not know that there is war, so later historians evaluate Italy as a "poor imperialist country". Your analysis is quite interesting.

By July 1943, due to the implementation of general mobilization and the intensification of production of technology and equipment, the German army had concentrated more than 5.3 million men, more than 10,000 artillery pieces and mortars, more than 5,800 tanks and mortars, nearly 3,000 aircraft, and 277 ships on the Soviet-German battlefield, but it still failed to make up for all its losses, bringing the total number of Soviet-German troops in the Soviet-German battlefield to the level of about 6.2 million in the autumn of 1942. However, Germany was still a formidable opponent at this time. In the case that Britain and the United States had not yet opened a second theater in Europe, the German army was still able to draw troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front.

For the German High Command, the main problem was to replenish the losses of troops and **, and to create a corresponding offensive group. In order to replenish the army and form new corps, Germany had to carry out a general mobilization from January 13, 1943, and to enlist a large number of workers in the military-industrial complex and in the transport sector, as well as older men and young people aged 16 and 18. Newly recruited personnel are sent to combat units after four to six months of training in the reserve army and in divisions being reorganized or formed, and some are even sent to the front after only six to eight weeks of training.

Soldiers who were conscripted into the army under the general mobilization order were much inferior in terms of physical condition and fighting qualities. But, after all, mobilization replenished the seriously weakened German units on the Soviet-German battlefield. As a result of the general mobilization, more than 2 million people were conscripted.

This allowed the Germans to form a new group of divisions in the first half of 1943 and to replenish some of the corps that had suffered losses in late 1942 and early 1943.
