Competition Success Review published this article page no 9 the nazi philosophy regarding women had prevented full labour and military use. whilst the russians had no such qualms with females even serving in active front line units. in slaughtering the jews and others deemed unwanted the nazis wasted valuable military resources and valuable human resources which could have been applied in more useful purposes. german relied on slave labour to make up the gap whilst britain and the usa had an army of willing labourers in rosie the riveter. german further wasted resources in futile projects such as the atlantic wall (which didnt even succeed in stopping the allies for one day) and anti-aircraft guns which absorbed thousands of guns would have been more useful on the front as anti-tank batteries and the men in manpower it took to operate them. it also diverted resources to unnecessary battles such as greece and north africa. it believed its own propaganda and thus made fatal mistakes. some of these fatal mistakes included failing to realise that the enigma machine had been compromised. the nazis believed it was unbreakable thus would not realise how intell was leaking. further fatal mistakes including failing to succeed in the intellegience war apart a notable success in compromising the dutch resistance most german intellegience activities paled into insignificance when compared to british intell. thats not to say british intell was perfect but churchill summed it up best with in war the truth is so precious it must be wrapped in a tissue of lies. hitler was sold on the pas de calais being the true invasion point. further by centering all its confidence in the fuhrer it lead to the disaster of stalingrad etc. hitler may have thought he was a military genius but after the conclusion of the invasion of france he made few successful contributions. one might asked what would have happened if the german generals had been allowed to run the show? i believe if the german economy had been fully geared up for the war from the beginning and if it had addressed some of these factors above there would have been every likely hood that they would have succeeded. we should not think that the outcome of world war ii was guarantee it was only with much sacrifice by the allies that final victory was achieved. this article is dedicated to all those who fought in destroying the evils of nazism. in particular to my great uncle ivan harris who died on wednesday 22nd july 1942 fighting in north africa fighting for new zealand competition success review magazine Subscribe online.
