Hitler was a moron
Nov. 6th, 2017 06:23 pmAny question about why Germany lost WWII can be summed up by this succinct summary of something I watched on the History Channel back when they had actual history shows: Adolf Hitler was a tactical moron, couldn’t so much as win a game of chess against a mentally handicapped dog. What was worse, he thought he was this great strategist and kept ignoring the advice of generals and others who had the experience to know better, overruling them at every turn. (Truly, he and Trump have much in common.) The only reason the Nazis got as far as they did was because Hitler turned pretty much their whole economy over to making war machines, and they had a fuckton of soldiers. That’s really all they had going for them.
There’s a lot of alternate history books about Hitler winning the war, and they’re all pretty unrealistic. Hitler was an inbred moron, his father was his mother’s uncle. The only way Hitler could ever have won WWII would be in an alternate universe where everyone else was equally stupid, or where some alien stepped in to vanish everyone else’s weapons. Or if some actually intelligent Nazi overthrew Hitler and took over. I’d be willing to bet that traveling the multiverse, you’d be doing good to find even a dozen worlds where the Nazis won WWII, out of trillions upon trillions upon infinity alternate universes. You’d be more likely to find a world where dogs became sentient and kept humans as pets, or a world full of nothing but shrimp.
