I will not however give Hitler the satisfaction of calling his empire great. It was a bit too short and he never managed to defeat any of the other REAL super powers of his time England,US,Russia. I mean come on a boy scout troop could invade France
His pursuit of absolute power caught up to him pretty quickly when he found himself fighting on 2 fronts.
One of my favorite parts of WW2 is the Skip bombing campaign that took place near Australia that few people ever research some very interesting naval Air tactics where developed there. Mainly skipping dumb bombs on the waters surface to slam them into the vulnerable sides at or near surface level of armored ships. Similar to what all ship destroying long range missiles do today.
Ok I am rambling now LOL
He made some stupid mistakes, which ultimately ended his reich. IMO the only reason it fell was because the USA got involved. The united states because, of its location is almost invincible to any european power of that time, and now. Russia was a huge ***** to turn against too....
*shakes head*. Oh well. Life goes on. I have indeed read into the skip bombs. That is pretty cool. And very creative.
How far back into history does your knowledge go?
