That actually looks awesome. The filming is gorgeous.
It really looks like it highlights something and points it out.
WW2 was a war. Vietnam was a war. Korea was a war. Iraq was a war.
But these things are not equal.
WW2 was a generation of people that feared they and their children would live under communism. Or under the absolute violent oppression that was Hitler. Those people back then, did WHATEVER they had to so as to make certain that did not happen. They did not have their lives taken, they offered them because they felt it was worth it given the consequences of losing. And that threat was VERY real. Hitler would have won had he had a long range bomber. The WW2/depression era folks were hard as nails. Now people are so soft if Hitler showed up today I fear it would be no contest.
This movie looks great. Thanks for showing it to me.
Hitler could have won world war 2 if….
He wasnt such a blasted idiot who insisted on meddling with the decisions of his generals.
He had developed the technologies his scientists pioneered…like the rocket, the jet, advanced aerodynamics, tank technology(military tech).
He hadnt decided to go to war with Russia….(Youre going to pick a fight with the largest standing army on the planet…really?)
He hadnt decided to go to war with America…(A nation that could outproduce anyone, anywhere….again…really?)
He may have been a good public speaker and brought a lot of people to his side, but they eventually saw through the bullshit…but by then if you spoke up…you were literally eliminated.
Oh yeah…biggest factor…
His regime was pure evil!
I have heard military strategists for years say if Hitler had a long range bomber he could have pulled it off.
No doubt the man was evil but the assertion he was an idiot is silly. Are you saying he took over a large part of the world because he was stupid? Was it by accident?
If I am a QB for a football team and I throw for 500 yards a game and almost win the superbowl, am I a terrible QB because I did not win the superbowl?
Hitler was apparently gifted in the ways of subterfuge and force. He was an awful person apparently full of hatred but to call him a feckless moron is to disarm people in the future when it comes time to pointing out something similar. Like the current governments of the west.
I was taught in school it was his generals who implemented the strategies that helped him conquer europe.
Guderian, Rommel…
So ive read….hitler was a lunkhead.
