How was Germany, a medium sized country, able to generate a historically unique amount of military power?

Finland was better.

Germans are a smart, industrious people with a (formerly) strong sense of racial identity. That's what happens when everybody can work together to oppose the NWO

Mass Mobilization and the unique military history of Prussia.

It's the same reason the French Revolutionary Government was able to raise such a massive defense even though the leaders were literally getting beheaded and the treasury was bankrupt.

>didn't even managed to defeat uk
average army desu

the short answer is: they weren't, german military superiority is a myth

they lost two world wars, that should be a clue that they're not actually that great. the only reason anyone thinks germany was some sort of invincible superpower is because it was convenient for propaganda purposes.

I have to be getting trolled. You're a fuckin moron, Drink bleach.

They had a huge population for a European country and were in the middle of Europe unlike Russia.

Medium sized? Germany had 70 million people. The UK had 47 million and France had 42 million. And Germany was one of the more highly industrialized nations in Europe.

he is right, they lost even against russians

They smart and proud of their heritage and really organize people.

They had meaningless allies, a relatively small population and all the great powers of the world united against them.
They put up an awesome fight, but it was not enough to overcome an incompetent leadership and the vast resources of their enemies.

In a stroke of utter genius, the German ministry reworked the calendar and the clock to accommodate 9 days a week and 28 hours in a day. Effectively they just had more time than the other countries with their foolish, Julian calendars.

>UK had 47 million
>managed to defeat germany both in the air and on the ground(desert)

You have to count their empires stupid. It’s those guys who did most of the fighting and dying.
Read about verdun, for example, and you’ll be reading mostly about the French colonial troops this and that. French proper were always safe.

Are you some Neo Nazi who thinks Nazi Germany was the greatest country ever and was an underdog in world war 2? It really wasn't. Germany was a big threat to Europe because they were approximately equal to Britian and France, and historically very aggressive.

better scientists. nazi germany had rockets before any other nation. just a few more months and the war would have looked entirely different.
project paperclip? imagine if that never happened

This is true as well. A lot of Germany's economic growth was due to the military expenditure of the Reich, not because Hitler was some sort of economic genius. If the entire population is animated towards one goal, the rearming of Germany, then no doubt the military could go from Treaty of Versailles-tier shit to a highly motivated and well equipped force.

nice argument retard lmfao

>They put up an awesome fight

they destroyed their entire country and gave half of it to the russians

that's not an awesome fight, that's the geopolitical equivalent of being knocked out and beaten to death in the parking lot of a 7-11

>counting the colonial populations
Why? They were fighting in different theaters of war. Colonial drafted troops made up a fraction of the fighting force in Europe because a man who speaks another language and has to be transferred five thousand kilometers is not an ideal solider.

>a relatively small population
No they didn't.
I don't even know where this is coming from, Germany always had a huge population compared to all other European powers except Russia, who was most of the time too far away and behind technologically to effectively intervene.

The aggressors were Britain.

t. someone who knows jack shit about how war works

this. Only the truly great nations have beat the uk in war.

I agree that the French relied heavily on colonial forces, but Britain pretty much used native British in Europe and only used colonial troops against the Japanese.

And sea

Checked

make an argument or sit down kid

The British PM already informed Hitler that Britian would intervene if Germany started invading other countries again. Hitler went into muh Danzig knowing full well it would lead to another world war. His alliances with Japan and Italy - both with their sights in British colonies/land - and his policies of Lebensraum outlined in Mein Kampf which included a lot of Europe, is proof Hitler was the aggressor and intended to be so.

>war economy
The reason everybody had a job.

It's the radicalization of the population, if you get a majority of your civilians angry towards something you will have a crazy military.

Germany used to be fractured collection of statelets before its unification. After its unification, Germany was out in the open, in the European plains, sandwiched between many different great powers, which is why they got btfo so many times

Tech and a large population by euro standards were why. Of course good tech wasnt enough to win a war when you are outnumbered as they were but it made it much closer than it had any right to be in the first place. At least it spurred advances in all of the opposing countries i guess. Consolation prize.

They are a servile people.

inspiration

They found ancient tech from Antarctica.

>and historically very aggressive
What a load of crap. Germany doesn't particularly stand out amonst all the European nation warmonering wise, with the single exception of world war 2

No, the bongs were getting run out of Africa by a few thirsty Germans, before the US had to resupply them and finally invaded North Africa. Then of course, the bongs declared "victory", per their historical pattern.

they were always open to invasion by other powers, so they had to learn defend themselves

A strong sense of national pride, institutionalized excellence, and a military class as part of the culture.

Large population along with large array of natural resources and industrialisation. They get a big economy and so can easily fund a large army. Also strong nationalism makes it easier to conscript more people.

The real question is, how did England, a tiny country, become the predominant world power for over a century?

Germany was Europe's battleground for centuries. It is at the center of the continent, so the great powers around them often found themselves converging in Germany to fight. It had the effect of making Germans very, very good at war.

You may have a very small contry, but a huge population and good industry. Connected with realtively weaker neighbours (unable to fully conquer you) gives you enough power to deal with all of your neighbours one by one and to achieve a potential that really makes you a superpower.

Weaponized autism.

>smart enough to almost conquer all of europe
>dumb enough to go to war with nearly all the world
Literally suicide.

The Canadians and Oz and NZ and Saffers were in Europe, Africa, the Med and elsewhere, faggot.

Are you retarded ?

It got lucky with France. If they called the push through Ardenes, Germany would've lost quickly and embarrassingly.

>weaker neighbours
France has dominated the area of Germany for most of Carolingian+ history.

Really made me think.

Territory doesn't matter, population size certainly does.

After WW I, when Germans were starving to death from paying war reparations, the NS party came to power and with it, Hitler. When Adolf became Chancellor, he took back control of the German banks from the Jews and made them work for Germans, which cause Intl Jewry to declare war on Germany in 1933, which eventually led to WW II.

>kill 40 million civilians
>WE STRONG 5.0 KDA

chiang kai shek was a fucking cunt

Skewed af. China and Russia committed mass suicide throughout the war

Like the zulus?

All the big numbers in the Allies side is because of Russians. Why produce a worhwhile military when you have enough men to suffocate the enemy elite troops.

Colonial troops play an important role but most of the fighting was done by the French (logically).
Also, contrarily to the myth, the mortality rate of colonial troops was the same as of French troops

It wasn't, and this is why it lost.

German manufacturing is a myth. The Germans were outproduced per capita by the fucking Soviets, let alone the USA.

A number of those civilian dead were Chinks who starved to death due to the war against Japan wrecking their economy.

By being masterrace ofc

>Zulus won the war

Kek, you shitlord

the soviets could have dealt with them on their own. Not that strong if you get annihilated by a country that was 50 years behind in developement in most parts of its territorry.

>they lost two world wars
well they bascily fought the entire world on their own twice.

Poland started WW2 by harming ethnic Germans

This is why i liked nazis when i was a kid. They have fabulous uniforms and equipment.

Sounds like a foreign policy and diplomacy failure, and not something to be proud of.

Picking stupid fights is only impressive if you win them. If you lose them they're just stupid.

No it was jews in poland who genocided innocent germans and ate their babies.

No, absent US supply, the Sovs would have been beatdown. They still almost were, and it took a massive air campaign from the West to tie down enough kraut resources to keep the subhuman Sovs from getting beat.

Well first of all, you started completely wrong. The OP made no mention of Germany having a superior military over anybody. And the reasons why Germany lost WW2 was simply because of their poor leadership and Hitler. The Germany military was one of the best in the world at the time, large, competent and well armed. But the reason why they lost is because they fought multiple nations with strong armies. That ties back in to the poor leadership and Hitler. Even the current day united states military, the best military in the world currently, would lose if it were against enough nations.

Russians had 8.6 million dead. I don't know where the other 8 million are from, because it certainly isn't from China.

Economy grew 3.3x with Hitler by 1939
Britain only grew 1.44x

>medium size
>at the time the most populous country in EU
>the most rich country of natural resources like iron, petrolium ecc. ecc.

Implying the entire world was necessary to beat them. It's like if a scrawny kid got beat up by 50 men, it would take 50 men to take him on.

The United States spent 4 (FOUR) times as much as Germany did to train and equip a rifleman. Their efficiency was incredible. They needed far less to produce superior soldiers.

The Soviet Union would not have survived past the first winter of the invasion without the United States supplying them with food and equipment.

Still part of the SS

>UK lost it's empire and gave to burgerland
>victory
ok

Wehrmacht was too big to be supported by germany and allies. Soviet oil and raw materials until '41 funded the successful western campaign. Once this fell off the army shrank to it's real size and they got destroyed. Hitler thought he could bite the hand that fed him but it failed.
Most of the course of history until sputnik was determined by everyone underestimating soviet power.

>Nation smaller than Texas
>Takes the world 5 years to destroy

Not being burdened by the impotence of democracy

The subhuman Sovs had 14.5 military dead in WW2, most of them sacrificed by their subhuman Sov overlords. You can count Sov civilian dead starting from that number.

Hitler ignored all German debts and would've ruined the country if the war lasted any longer.

Rotshild bank funding through I G farben, j h Stein bank and similar

German soldiers weren't superior.

The entire Eastern Front was lost after battle of Moscow, and battle of Stalingrad was lost before Germans ever set foot in the city. The second Russians got organized, Germans lose the ability to make meaningful gains.

It certainly would've been costlier to the Soviets without Lend-Lease.

Absolutely untrue. You supllied trucks and radio and gear like that and it was outdat. It was outdated so badly, it was only used for training purposes, not in the frontline. The Soviets war amchinery was already much, much bigger than the one of germany before the war started. I tought you guys go mad over stolen valor, so stop it.

It was, dim-bulb. They fought a two front war in both wars, and they secured victory on one of the fronts in each war. They defeated Russia in WWI, and they pushed the Allies off of the European continent in WWII. The whole world was necessary.

...

This is wrong.

Most US lend-lease didn't even arrive in the USSR until 1943, by which point the German advance was already halted. The USSR could have beat Germany on its own.

Environmental determinism isn’t absolute.
>gets conquered by everyone, even people who had less manpower and resources

>a medium sized country, able to generate a historically unique amount of military power?
when Germany invaded France in WW2 they had fewer tanks that weren't as heavy armed or armoured as the British and French, fewer soldiers, much of their artillery was still pulled by horses. What they did have was a design for modern military strategy using blitzkrieg that blew open the WW1 tier strategies being used by the Allies

if the UK wasn't an island, Germany would have rolled tanks through Trafalgar Square. in fact, if they weren't an island the French would have genocided those pathetic anglo cucks in the middle ages

nationalism

Now, now there is no need to shittalk the Studebaker US6's

If Bruce Lee got dogpiled by eleven other guys, would this mean he is an inferior fighter?

>Russians got organized
???

They just pumped any civilizan into war they could find including women and drowned the germs in low quality tanks.
