Clearly the German army was overextended in November of 1943. It is estimated that 3.9 million Germans together with 283,000 German allied forces were trying to hold off 5.4 million Russians on the eastern front. Additionally 177,000 troops were in Finland. Norway and Denmark were garrisoned with 486,000 troops. France and Belgium held 1,370,000 troops and another 612,000 troops were tied down in the Balkans. The German also had 412,000 troops in Italy.On every front in 1943, the Germans faced overwhelming odds in crucial areas, and how long their defenses could hold up is. The D-Day invasion in 1944 seemed to seal off any chances at all in Europe, however, the Allies would meet strong resistance until almost the very end.

Who are the Axis and Allies?

The Axis are Germany, Italy, Japan, and their allies.

The Allies are USA, Britain, France, and anyone who was not neutral and not with Hitler and the Nazis.

A point of order: any country claiming neutrality would not be considered an Ally. Even when the United States was still considered 'isolationist', the government was instituting 'Cash & Carry' & 'Lend-Lease' programs.

That isn't to say that Neutral countries weren't attacked or invaded (i.e. Norway, Holland & Belgium).

What is the most sophisticated weapon of world war 2 before the atom bomb?

The atomic bomb. the strongest bomb in the world is the nitrom bomb!

Not sure what the first poster meant by "nitrom bomb". If they meant NEUTRON bomb, then they would be correct only in that the neutron bomb was designed to maximize casualties through radiation instead of the heat and blast of other bombs. The explosive "yield" of most neutron bomb designs is in the kiloton range. The most powerful atomic device ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba device detonated by the USSR on October 30, 1961. The original design would have created a 100 megaton explosion, but it was reduced for testing to a 50 megaton device. The test device is believed to be the only one of its type ever built.

The "strongest" weapon of world war 2 was indeed the atomic bomb - although their combined explosive yield was still only about 1/1000 of that of the Tsar Bomba device. Even so, the atomic bombs were themselves about a thousand times as powerful as any of the conventional bombs used during the 2nd world war.

Why do planets have axis?

The axis just defines their rotation. It is relative to spin, so if a body does not spin, it has no axis. Kind of an imaginary line, like the equator. It is used for reference. Also an object that is not round and symmetrical and has a length and a width can also be referenced by these dimensions. The Longitudinal axis is usually an axis through the longest dimension of the body.

Did Francisco Franco Bahamonde fight for the allies or axis?

Franco did not "fight" for either side. Spain had just come out of a brutal Civil War from 1936-1939. However, as Franco had been helped in that war by the Nazi Regime and Fascist Italy, Franco felt an affinity for those countries and had good personal relations with those leaders. Hitler tried to encourage Franco to join the war on the Axis side and by 1942, Franco was strongly considering entry. However, the Allied victories in El Alamein and Stalingrad in 1943 showed that the tide was reversing. Allied governments sent a message to Franco that if he remained neutral, his country would not be invaded and he would not be deposed from power. As a result, he chose not to enter the war and was bypassed by the Allied Liberation in Western Europe.
