Germany in WW2

The "j" in German is usually pronounced as a "y". The word "ja" means "yes" in English and is pronounced "yah", just like we do.

Hitler's Germany had support mainly from the annexed willing Austria's support along with Mussolini's Italy and Hirohito's Japan. Romania and Hungary also offered support, along side tens of thousands of foreign fighters recruited from the far right supporters in the occupied countries such as Bosnia, Ukraine and even ethnic people living under the Soviet Union. Hitler also had the support of Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union initially in the war until Hitler turned his forces on him.

Technically, Hitler wasn't a dictator because he was elected.

Because the nature of soldiering is that you have to do what you are told without question. If you question the orders you are given then you are disobedient. If you disobey then you are in trouble. Even if you are told to do something which you know, or even think, is wrong, then you obey first and then think about asking a question of your superior, having thought about the question then you decide the superior was right anyway. Any alternative to this is not worth consideration. This is not just what happened in WW2 Wehrmacht, it happens to this day, and has always been the case. Possibly the best example of simple, arduous, military training is the French Foreign Legion, La Legion Etrangere, in which obedience to orders is beyond all. Even if you do what you are told explicitly then you have not done it properly or fast enough. Just how much running do you like to do & then some ? & then some more................ Military discipline depends entirely on obedience. Those that are prepared to question are in no position to follow the leader into battle and are not worthy of a position in the hierarchy and will be adapted or eliminated. Put it this way, as I was once told by a senior sergeant :'Either change your attitude or I will change your features'...... A reply of other than 'Yes, Staff' never entered my conciousness!

Nazi Germany was not concerned only with Jews, although they certainly placed their greatest emphasis on killing Jews. They also attacked many other categories of people, including communists, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and Jehovah's Witnesses. However, they chose to blame Jews for all the ills of Germany. Since there was a tradition of a thousand years of anti-Semitism in Europe, the German public was well prepared to blame all their problems on Jews, which they much preferred to the alternative of recognizing their own responsibility for their own problems.

Rommel was in very many but i do not know the exact amount

Germany declared war on the US after Pearl Harbour.

Because after world war 1, the british and the other countrys started to tax Germany for the war, and in the 30's Germany was so poor they would do any thing so Hitler saw is chance to take over the government, and when he did the people fell to his knee's.

It has been estimated that about 13.5 Million people were murdered during the Holocaust. 6.6 Million being Jews, 3 Million being Soviet POW's, 1.9 Million being Non-Jewish Poles. Other kinds of people such as the Mentally and Physically Disables along with Criminals, Black People and Romas were also killed the Nazi Genocide which is known as the Holocaust.

The Holocaust of World War 2 was the genocide of the Jews from many countries. The Nazis killed 6 million Jews over the span of 6 years or more. They were still killing them up to the last day of the war. Many Jews died, after the war was over, from disease, starvation, dehydration and exposure in the diesease ridden concentration camps. There were hundreds of the concentration and extermination camps where the Nazis imprisoned and killed Jews of all ages. They also conducted atrocious medical experiments on the Jews and other people who were disabled, suffered from dwarfism or were mentally disabled. Every Jew was marked with a numerical tattoo for the German records. The survivors have lived over 5 decades with that tattooed number on their arm. They can never escape the nightmare.

Out of millions of Jews who were in the camps or hiding in covert places it is tallied that 196,000 survived (estimated). Approximately 140,000 Jews emigrated from Europe to the United States after the war. The Nazi criminals were tried for their atrocities at the Nuremberg Trials. Some were killed and some given long prison sentences. It is crucial that people world wide never forget the Holocaust victims or the evil of the Nazis.

1. As a right wing putsch which lasted several weeks until defeated by a general strike, the KP encouraged right wing extremists such as Hitler and the newly formed Nazi party to attempt further uprisings, such as Hitler's Munich Putsch in Nov 1923.

2. The KP showed the weakness of the Weimar Republic since the government had relied on right wing forces (Freikorps and army) to put down the Communist Spartacist revolt (Dec 1918 to Jan 1919). Now threatened by the Right in the KP the government was saved only by a general strike of workers which forced Kapp to give up. The effect on Germany was to intensify the divisions between Left wing and Right wing forces which contributed to the weakness of the early years of the Weimar Republic.

The SS and themselvesd kept Jews in the Ghetto. The SS because, the Jews were threatened to be killed on the spot if they dis obey the orders made by an SS Officer or SS Guard. They kept themselves in the Ghetto because, they were feared of what would of happened if they try or do escape.

Look up Steve Reich on Wikipedia.

Are you sure that name is spelled right?

Hitler and the Nazis had convinced many people that Jews were at the root of the economic problems in Europe. A disproportionate number of Jews were successful businessmen and academics, and plenty of Europeans believed that there was a Jewish conspiracy to control the economy, rather than looking at the work ethic and perseverance that made this group as a whole more sucessful than average. Given the fact that Jews have been made scapegoats by other civilizations throughout recorded history and that they are a fairly easy group to identify, it's not surprising that Hitler targeted them again in the 1930's. It's much more palatable to blame a relatively small, identifiable group as the source of the economic hardships that Europe was facing rather than taking a long, hard look at policies and economic cycles that truly were at the root of the problems.

I believe that I also remember from school that many countries in Europe chose to turn a blind eye to that Nazis' annexation of the first few countries they targetted, hoping that war could be avoided if they just let the Nazis have what they wanted--a policy of appeasement. It later became clear that the more territory the Nazis conquered, the more they wanted, so war was the only way to curb Hitler's ambitions. By this stage, most European countries were much more concerned about their own survival than about the fate of the Jews or other "undesirable" groups.

While there were nazi sympathies in Europe, once the scale of the atrocities were known, these sympathies where reconsidered in most cases. There was a huge resistance in France and Poland, but as the opposition was caught they were quickly disposed of.

To say that Europe did nothing during the holocaust is really not fair, as Britain was deeply involved in the war. And also, you must remember that a lot of Europe was either invaded or under fascist rule.

Hitler's rise to power took place over several years preceding the outbreak of the actual war, so the holocaust was also gradual and did not happen over night.

Also, the death camps were not advertised, and certainly not as death camps. The first people to be moved to the camps were told they were being "re-patriated", that they were to be moved to live somewhere else, not to be killed.

You also have to remember that Germany was allied with Spain, Italy and Russia, all major military powers at the time.

It's easy to pass judgment this far after, but I personally think that no one could foresee the outcome of the invasion of Poland in -39.

According to my knowledge, the jews got humiliated by putting them on a cow and walk through some streets. The jew sat on top of the cow, knowing that everybody knew he was jewish followed by nazi soldiers walking next to the cow

No, of course not. He tried invading the UK and invading the countries that the UK had already invaded like Egypt.

-I disagree, in Mein Kampf he writes that he wants Germans to behave more like the British and I believe he had ambitions to give Britain a special role in the Reich ( though i can't remember what that was) and I think it was supposed to be his cherry on the cake of the Reich.

Bastogne,Belgium which was where a crossroad was located and the Germans needed it to advance.....................

Facist in Italy was very similar to the German nazi party as a naitionalst socialist and this nationialism was fundenmental tothe facist in Italy, Germany and Japan. The people in these countries took a oath of a legion to their country and the fanatics were willing to die for their country

Answer Mussolini had many faults but he had one good attribute; he did not buy into the German philosophy of the great Aryan race and the final solution to execute the Jews. It wasn't until after he began to lose power in Italy and after he became a puppet of the German forces that Jews in Italy were sent off to concentration camps.

He didn't have a nickname.
