Why did Hitler loose the war against Russia in 1943?

Answer 1

Answer

By the time German troops made it to Stalingrad there were a large number of Russian troops assembled. Added to that the freezing temperatures of winter as well as the shortage of food and the fact that the Germans were surrounded and had no way to get supplies contributed to the Russian victory.

Answer

The key factor in the German defeat to Russia was not that of "General Winter" as the Russian felt the freezing temperatures just as much as the Germans but it was the fact that Germany had not committed itself to "total war". Hitler had based his foreign wars on his "blitzkrieg" ideas, he had envisioned an easy 6 week campaign in Russia and saw no point to adjust the economy in preparation for a long war, in fact it was not until 1944, when Germany was obviously losing the war that the munitions production of Germany peaked. Hitler was astonished in 1941 to find that he had only 800 more tanks to invade Russia than he had invaded France with. (3300 compared with Russia�s 20,000). Germany�s output should have been comparable to that of a superpower but it did not reach this level until 1944, production of artillery pieces actually surpassed that of the economic giant the USA and was rivalling the USSR but of course by 1944 it was too late for Germany to win the war. Russia did not win the war, Germany very much lost it.

Answer 2

Hitler lost the war because he said to forget about russia and just infiltrate Britain and they didnt know that russia was going to attack and then the winter came and the troops said they need to retreat because they didnt have the right equipment for the war and Hitler forbade this and they froze at there posts

Why did Hitler lose the war (World War 2) in Europe? There are many books that go to great lengths to explain various answers. It is an opinion type question. I encourage you to do your own research, and decide for yourself the reasons for Hitler's defeat. My opinion: Although it appeared that Hitler had prepared Germany well for the Second World War, it is misleading. He prepared Germany to only fight short wars or campaigns not the long war that it became. He did not fully mobilize the German economy, fully mobilize female labor, or increase war industry work shifts to 24-7 until it was too late. He did not replace the losses that his Army sustained invading Russia in 1941. The war against Russia lasted from 1941 to 1945. Each year the German Army shrank in size as manpower was in short supply. Hitler also failed to fully motorize his Army units. Only a small portion of the German Army was equipped either as Panzer (Armored) or Motorized (truck mounted) units. Although the German Blitzkrieg is very well known, just as the German Panzer Divisions are famous, it was actually the case that the Russians, British & Americans had a higher percentage of ground units that had their own transportation (trucks, halftracks, tanks, self-propelled artillery & anti-tank guns) as part of their table of organization & equipment (TO&E) by 1943. More mobile ground combat units can help make up for the shortages in actual troops. Mobile units usually carry more firepower & ammunition, and can mass their fires on the enemy faster than troops on foot. The German mobile combat units were good, but there was a shortage of them.

Maybe Hitler's biggest mistake was asking Japan to attack the United States and then he declared war on the United States. Hitler falsely believed that the Japanese military's strength would prevent the US from committing much military effort against Germany. The opposite became the case. The US used only 30% of its resources to fight & defeat Japan, so that it could use 70% against Hitler's Germany. In the end, the United States & the Soviet Union were better prepared to fight & win a long bloody war instead of Germany, Japan, & Italy that were much less prepared economically & militarily. Too often you hear the false myth repeated that the United States was unprepared for war when the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941.

because the Russian and English forces were attacking the Riechstag which was his stronghold. Also They pushed through it and pressurised him to commit suicide.

Answer 5

When Hitler attempted to attack Russia his armies fell to the brutal winter just as Napoleon's troops when he tried to invade.

Answer 6

Hitler and the Nazis lost to the USSR, was the result that Germany lost The Battle of Stalingrad. Germany's goal was to conquer Russia before winter

Answer 7

Yes
