    True… I’m not saying it isn’t it just doesn’t prove the german doctrine was logistical… the Russians had both the 5 on the battlefield and ten in a hour… which one had logistics :wink: ??


  • Actually, I was wrong gasp yes, you heard right.
    It was a single thing which decided WWII, in fact, it was a single man.

    ……Hitler.
    Think about it. If it werent for Hitler, Germany never would have had the antisemitism Falk is hooked on, there wouldnt have been an Operation Barbarossa. His arrogance couldnt have doomed the Germans on DDay.
    The list is endless. If it werent for Hitler, Germany wouldnt have lost WWII (they wouldnt have gotten into WWII either, but thats beside the point).

    Yeah, fighting across a 3,000 mile front generally isn’t a good thing

    yeah, but even if they only fought on a 50 mile front the Russian guerrilla’s would have destroyed there logistics anyway and it is much easier to hit a 50 mile wide logistics line then 3,000… with 3,000 there harder to hit…


  • They also have a helluva harder time with their supply lines on a 3000 mile front. True, the larger the area the attacker has, the better for him, but when fighting a two front war, with powerful enemies on both sides, the size of each front for two countries to be fighting on takes a serious toll. The Germans may have actually fared better with a 50 mile front on the Russian side.

    he shouldn’t have attacked Russia… just Poland


  • the Russians had both the 5 on the battlefield and ten in a hour… which one had logistics

    But that wasn’t the main Russian military philosophy. The Russian general probably would’ve chosen the latter, not the former as the German would have.

    yeah, but even if they only fought on a 50 mile front the Russian guerrilla’s would have destroyed there logistics anyway and it is much easier to hit a 50 mile wide logistics line then 3,000… with 3,000 there harder to hit…

    But the far of the matter was that the Germans were much wider split, thus making it harder to supply. Besides, consider the fact that one supply line would be much easier to defend.

    cannot argue with that… as far as logistics who had more…

    plus we are talking about the eastern front… that is were they lost the logistics…they should have taken into thought Soviet supply and lend lease compared to german supply… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…


  • … also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

    I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.
