What countries couldn't Germany conquer?
Germany used Blitzkrieg in the Second World War to make their major land grabs in the beginning of the war. This involved using aircraft, and armored units to strike quickly and overrun the enemy, followed by infantry and supply units. This worked great in countries such as France, Poland, Belgium, and the Balkans. However, this tactic met its match during the invasion of Russia, and the United Kingdom. Germany was initially successful in its invasion of Russia, making great headway in the early months. But Blitzkrieg only worked for a short period of time, and was no match for the will of the Russians. Once winter came, the Germans were bogged down by the elements and could not push ahead at the same rate. This met with the strong will of the Russians to defend their homeland, prevented Germany from succeeding. In the case of the United Kingdom, Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe, was unable to establish air superiority over the English Channel. This, combined with the strength of the Royal Navy, and its dominance over the German Navy, the Kriegsmarine, prevented Germany from launching an amphibious attack on the British Isles.

What was Germany's ancient warrior?
Germany before the common era (0 AD to present) was not organized as well as the ancient Chinese, Romans, Greeks, Spartans, Ottomans or Egyptians, and therefore did not have one single great warrior, such as the samurai, or the gladiator. Germany was still largely unsettled, and the few tribes. It wasn't until 455 AD, when an East Germanic barbarian tribe called the Vandals sacked Rome that Germany gained its first true "ancient" warrior. Germanic militarism was not fully established until the rule of Frederick William II (aka the Soldier King) of Prussia in the early 18th century. Frederick's obsession with the army lead to the creation of one of the most powerful armies in Europe at the time and a militaristic culture that would last for over two hundred years until the end of World War II with the defeat of the Nazis and Adolf Hitler, the second reviver of Germanic militarism.
