In the early days of Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, it really made great contributions. But once the whole Soviet Union is mobilized, especially if the Japanese dare not invade Siberia, the Soviet Union will not be caught between Scylla and Charybdis, so a large number of new troops will be put into the front line of the Soviet-German war. At that time, although Germany had occupied most of Europe, the nationals of these occupied countries would not be as loyal to Hitler as the Germans. Germans worship Hitler. Why? Because the Germans saw and benefited from Hitler's government, Hitler's slogan of foreign aggression was "strive for greater living space for the Germanic nation", which certainly made the Germans appreciate their government. But what did Hitler bring to the people of those occupied countries? Only plunder and repression, harsh fascist rule. Although some German occupation generals, such as Czech Regent Reinhart heydrich, also implemented some appeasement policies in the occupied areas, it was based on the blood of people who opposed the German invasion. The appeasement policy may be effective in the short term, but it will certainly not be recognized by the people of the occupied country. Therefore, in terms of troop supply alone, Germany lags far behind the Soviet Union.
In addition to resources, Germany's resource reserves are far less than those of the Soviet Union. At that time, the socialist social system of centralized distribution of resources in the Soviet Union easily enabled the country to master most of the resources and invest them in the Great Patriotic War. On the one hand, Germany should maintain the overall combat effectiveness of invading the Soviet Union, on the other hand, it should maintain the normal activities of the occupying forces in the European occupied areas, and also defend against the possible counterattack of the British army on the northwest coast of the French occupied areas. It is also necessary to maintain the offensive posture of U boats in the Atlantic Ocean, maintain the operation of the Nordic ports controlled by the German army, and risk being attacked by the British Mediterranean Fleet to transport resources to the African legion, which is only Germany's poor strategic resource reserve. . . . . . It is difficult, so we have to plunder from the occupied area, and looting from the occupied area can easily arouse the hatred of the people in the occupied area and return to the above topic.
In terms of foreign aid, although Churchill Roosevelt and others were staunch anti-* * producers, they needed the Soviet Union to fight against Germany and reduce the war pressure. Therefore, regardless of the above or other purposes, they supported the Soviet people's patriotic war in many ways. In contrast, Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union was almost unanimously opposed by other countries in the world, and its political status was very isolated. Although Japan and Germany echoed in the Far East, the Japanese really did nothing. For the Japanese, their own affairs in China are unfair, and they are still fighting with the Americans in the Pacific Ocean. As an ally of Germany, you can ask for your own blessing.
As far as the army is concerned, we have to admit that the fighting quality of the Germans during World War II was absolutely high, but it was only the Germans. The armies of Romania, Turkey and other servant countries simply followed the Germans to collect cheap firewood, and the Italian army didn't have any effect except adding chaos, so they were left alone. Just kidding. In contrast to the Soviet Union, although the soldiers' fighting quality is not high, they have one advantage: there are many people! German soldiers confronted Soviet soldiers, and a German soldier defeated a Soviet soldier to win. How about two? How about five? How about ten? A tiger can't catch a pack of wolves.
In terms of weapons, Germany's excellent weapons are recognized, but limited by production capacity. As far as tanks are concerned, Germany's No.3, No.4, Leopard and Tiger Wars produced more than 40,000 vehicles, while the Soviet Union produced more than 45,000 vehicles on T34 alone. Moreover, rammstein has high precision, complex technology and many kinds of spare parts. Comparatively speaking, T34 is economical, easy to maintain and low in price.
Besides, even if the Germans occupied the whole Soviet Union, could they still maintain the occupation? I'm afraid we can only control points like the Japanese invasion of China. Points and lines can be better controlled, but we can't control the surface.
As for Hitler himself, he knew this clearly, so he didn't want to conquer the Soviet Union completely and comprehensively. He just wanted to establish a puppet regime in the Soviet Union like the French Petain government on the basis of German control of Soviet resources, which not only achieved the purpose of obtaining resources and land, but also saved the trouble of maintaining the operation of occupied areas. Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, the reaction of Stalin and the Soviet people seems to be stronger than Hitler's imagination, and the bad weather in the Soviet Union in winter is beyond Hitler's and Germany's high command's estimation. . . . . . Hitler understood this because Hitler famously said, "War can only bring harm. In the end, France is still France, Germany is still Germany! "
Therefore, if LZ really said this, even if Stalingrad and Moscow were German victories and the Caucasus was completely occupied by the Germans, the Germans would still be defeated. It can only be said that the fate of Germany's defeat came a little late, but it cannot change its doomed fate. Under the historical conditions at that time, including now, no country in the world can completely conquer or destroy another country.
If you want to conquer a country, it is not just military occupation that will succeed. Only when the people of the occupied country finally recognize the occupier and willingly obey the orders of the occupier's government can the country be said to have been "conquered". However, if other factors are not considered, how many years of maintenance and appeasement will be needed to achieve this goal? Personally, I think it's impossible, really.
