Is it true that Operation Barbarossa failed because of Mussolini's

Yeah.

Nope.

>>2506566
Not at all.

>>2506566
No, that's just Serbo-Greek propaganda to make us seem more important.

>>2506566
Maybe

No, Russians were stronger than Hitler anticipated. Germans had the dumb idea they would be able to get the Russians to surrender in just a couple months.

they had six million troops or some such crazy shit. At a certain point it becomes a logistical failure - which is actually where the 20 something pasty single men's interest fade

Can please you not repeat the question another time again?

>that propaganda-tier caption

It was Soviet resources and production capacity. In terms of manpower or strategy there was hardly anything Hitler could have ever maneuvered to counter what was a bad gamble on his part.

Hear it from himself:

If there was one thing communism could do right it was a quick war-time transition to all-out military production

>"How are all of them mechanized?!"

Hitler couldn't keep his armies supplied on the eastern front anyway. Sending troops to chill in the Balkans was a good move.

what?

I don't see anything

>>2506566
No. The action was delayed because of mass flooding in Poland, not Greece.

>>2506566
No. There's nothing Italy could possibly have done to prevent the USSR from inevitably stomping on Germany's balls.

>>2506566
It's true that for every Italian soldier Germany had to have three extra to make up for their incompetence.

>>2506566
Maybe. I've heard that Germanys intervention in Greece delayed Barbarossa by a few weeks but that was enough to turn the weather bad which slowed down the German advance.

>>2506595
I just want to point out that ultimately Hitler is blaming the lack of respect for the human worker the bolsheviks had. He points that the workers in the tank factories were basically slaves living like animals.

He also would copy this in the last year of the war because he thought it was why he was losing.

Most of his generals blames the Yugoslavian adventure as the reason because it delayed Barbarossa a month and 2 weeks and they got to moscow about two weeks after winter set in and about two weeks after soviet defenses were ready.

The generals are thinking too tactically, the idea of being outgunned in a losing venture isn't something a general regards, they're only thinking of a way for them to win.

It was Hitler's idea to get them into the mess with the USSR and as the visionary could see his fatal mistake probably earlier than his guys on the field.

Hitler can be bitter about the Bolshevik strategy all he wants, in the end it was this allegedly inhuman method of population control that allowed for the USSR to effectively move and maximize production as they did while the Germans progressed.

It's a tale of hubris, Hitler was so hopelessly against Bolshevism and communism that he wouldn't regard its potential in this respect.
