    The total inability of the Nazis to operate without (or, at least, operate while hiding) their ideological delusions screwed them out of their only chance to win the war in the east, since there was genuine and deep anti-Soviet sentiment in the occupied territories which the vile terror of the Nazis quickly managed to change into pro-Soviet sentiment, but had the Nazis not got lucky in knocking out some 4.5 million Soviet troops in the initial surprise invasion, even that probably wouldn’t have mattered.

    Dumb motherfuckers chose to go on the offensive against an enemy twice their size, over a vast region that they had poor logistical capabilities through, alienate all potential allies in the territory they took, and juggle fighting the UK and the US at the same time.

    Utter morons. High on their own supply. Too much goddamn meth in their rations. A good thing for everyone else, but terrible for the Nazis.
