What if Nazi Germany was able to instill the type of fanatical resistance the muhahideen had against the Soviet Union?
To the point that everyone without exception, 10 years after the fall of Berlin, even an 8 year old child would be willing to grab a kitchen knife and die to gunfire or atomic bombing than surrender to a soviet or allied soldier. Every single German body possessed by the same spirit of resistance and guerrilla warfare.
Could they have lasted as long as Afghanistan did?

Well, they obviously didn't fight as hard as the Afghan's. Nor nearly as long.
They even surrendered. Afghanistan didn't.
they probably would have if their leaders didnt "commit suicide" and instead told them to fight to the death for their people. probably would have ended up being the end of the german race seeing as how more than half of their best men had already died in conventional combat.
>>31328104
However interesting the question may be during 2016, the hard facts are that Germany would carpet bomb their entire country.
>>31328104
We would have nuked them until their will was broken. Wouldn't have taken too many.

Russian wasn't fighting a war to the death in Afghan. It was their Vietnam, and they lost for the same reason

This, if Afghanistan was trying to fight a war of extermination against Russia while going out of their way to piss off America they would've gotten squashed flat too.
>>31330315
>Russian wasn't fighting a war to the death in Afghan
Their biggest mistake.
They should have been using the same tactics in WW2 against the Afghans as they did the Germans
then they would have won

Yeah. Limited war is a lie to make liberals feel better

Goddamn, you Fatniks are breathtakingly retarded.
>>31329399
The occupation of Afghanistan was exactly that: an occupation.
The scale and intensity of WW2 on the Eastern Front does not even compare to a small sliver of the largest engagements in the Afghan war.
Shit, the partisan warfare during WW2 was more intense than Afghanistan.
Afghanistan was a low-intensity, low budget policing operation where they tried and failed to mould the society into something modern.

Never fight an occupation to change a nation.
Wars change nations, not occupations.
Always fight a war or don't fight at all.

>fanatical resistance the muhahideen had
You mean, paid by the US government and supplied through Pakistan?
You overestimate Afghans and underestimate Germans. And, also, you don't understand that Soviets were limited by their goal - bring stability to Afghanistan and support Afghanistan government. In WWII they had completely goal. and so, completely different means to achieve that goal.

>n WWII they had completely different goal
fixed

I felt dumber after reading that
>>31328104
Then the Soviets would simply round up and kill every man, woman, and child. The Germans did the same shit so the Soviets would have no qualms about paying it back with interest.
They could also salt the land and completely destroy German agriculture, and now the German people starves to death. Keep in mind Germany was only able to feed itself during WW2 by taking food from it's occupied territories.

They should have applied proper COIN tactics you fucking mongoloid. MUH BRUTE FORCE JUST LIKE WW2!11!1!1! doesn't fucking work when you're fighting a guerrilla movement, you need to learn from shit like the Malayan emergency.
Afhganistan has no vodka so russians needed to drink water instead of vodka their bodies ran on vodka since age 14 so they were having the shits since their body is not used to that form of hydratation. In WWII the russians used german beer instead to survive.

Worked just fine against German Guerrilla's.
>>31339914
And why the hell doesn't Brute force and mass extermination work against guerilla's?
It was our primary strategy against defeating the Japanese will to fight.
