What Really Caused The Collapse Of Nazi Germany? | How The Nazis Lost The War | War Stories



00:00 Hitler’s Alliances

Germany had very few geopolitical allies leading into World War II. For various reasons, these alliances were doomed to fail from the outset, and Germany would ultimately pay dearly for the partnerships they forged with the other Axis Powers.

46:20 Wonder Weapons

Throughout the Second World War, Hitler was obsessed with the idea of a “Wunderwaffe”, or wonder-weapon. This obsession led to Germany having some of the most advanced weaponry and vehicles on the battlefield, however, was this focus actually detrimental to their war effort?

01:31:15 Hitler’s Delusions

Did Hitler’s heavy narcotic use play a role in his murderous regime, as well as fuel an already delusional character? Did Hitler’s appetite for mind-altering substances give the Allies crucial leverage to defeat the Nazi regime?

02:12:30 Nazi Leadership

Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and Borrmann. These are some of the most infamous men of the Nazi Regime, yet it was their own selfishness and dysfunction that left their grand vision in ruin at the climax of the Second World War.

02:59:45 The Holocaust

In pursuit of their Aryan dream, the Nazis were encumbered by an ideological war from within that would undermine their ability to succeed in World War II, and ultimately led to the deaths of millions of the world’s citizens.

  3. Being a American you really can’t help but carry a sense of ignorance toward the territory disputes that have shaped and developed Europe for millennia. Every US border dispute has ended w/ the losers looking and assessing the remaining land they posses and telling themselves, “meh, I can work w/ this.”

    Whereas in Europe you have all these nations of monarchs, empires, republics, and dictators, sharing borders and looking for opportunities to improve their standing within their continent. The fact there’s only been 2 Great Wars is actually pretty impressive

  4. i believe 1 and 2 both where to destroy evidence of past technologies. structures where being blown up not even close to the front lines, like mega and monothetic structures, literature on past technologies the church didn't get, especially France and Italy. i believe we have had free electricity for thousands of years, but u can't put a meter on free. Ying and Yang symbol is zero point energy for pete sacks.

  5. Nazis failed? 25 million dead Russians was a failure? This
    Appears to be propaganda made
    Just to mock the Germans. If they
    Were such failures how come the
    US used them in our missile and space programs?
