He didn't. Although in "Mein Kampf" he was critical of the German government's decision to fight on two fronts during World War I, he turned around and did the same thing himself in World War II when he attacked the Soviet Union while still at war with Britain. Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union was the beginning of the end for the Third Reich.

This is because, a two-front war is what caused the German Empire's loss in the first World War. He didn't want this happening again, but he was dumb enough to try invading the Soviet Union so that is exactly what he created. And he payed the price. Fighting a two-front war is a mistake, not only for Germany but ANY army. It is military suicide.

Militarily speaking it makes logical since to limit the amount of area you have to defend. One front as opposed to two is preferred because you don't have to dilute your forces to defend separate areas. Plus having military forces fighting in only one theater of war cuts down on logistical problems such as how to supply each division with food, ammo, medical supplies and rearmament.

With that said Hitler during WWII made the war losing decision to prematurely open up a second front against Russia before gaining air superiority over Britain. His forces now had to be split to defend both fronts making the Wehrmacht as a whole less effective and in the end costing Germany victory. More over the occupation of Italy could be considered a third front for Germany compounding a already precarious strategic situation.

In conclusion Germany did very little to avoid fighting on fronts in WWII.

Why did the Germans fight a two front war?

Hitler did not want to fight a two-front war and he didn't intend to be in that situation. It happened because he could not conquer Russia and his troops were tied down in a long struggle that required a long supply line to reinforce it. This gave time for the remaining Allies to land in France and start the second front.


Why was it a mistake for Germany to fight a two-front war?

Fighting a two-front war is the same as fighting two wars at the same time. That's never a good idea because your forces are split.


Did Hitler have two wives?

== == Hitler had one wife named Eva Braun Actually he married her the day before she shot her self and he killed himself with drugs. Why did she shoot herself? They both poisoned themselves with cyanide, then Hitler shot himself. Hitler did not want what happened to Mussolini to happen to him. He was a coward.


Who did Hitler admire?

Mussolini provided a basis for Hitler's concept of governmentAnswerActually Hitler also got some of his ideas from Napoleon. He like how Napoleon wanted to take over and wanted to do the same. However, when Napoleon took on a two sided war; Hitler promised himself he would not do the same. Hitler ended up doing the same thing when he was at war with Great Britain, he invaded Russia and made the same mistake eventually leading to the end of the war. Answer"Hitler believed in Arthur de Gobineau's ideas of struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race"-guided by "Providence"-was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler I would like to add a note that I didnt actually know Hitler but I can guarantee he didnt admire the English because they are a bunch of bloody wankers. I happen to be having coffee with one such right now! ITS A FACT!!!

Why allies would want to open a second front in the European theater?

Stalin wanted the Allies to open a second front in Europe to releive pressure from his advancing army. If a second front was opened Hitler would have to split his forces and deal with two prongs that were advancing on Berlin and the Rhine, or the production heart of Germany. If either of these were taken Hitler would lose the war. The second front was made to put more pressure on Hitler and end the war quicker.
