How the Nazis Lost the War

Germany had few geopolitical allies leading into World War II. For various reasons, these alliances were doomed to fail from the outset, and Germany would ultimately pay dearly.

As German resources began to run thin as the War progressed, Hitler and Goebbels promoted Wonder Weapons as a way to pave a new path towards victory.

How did Hitler’s heavy narcotic use play a role in his murderous regime, as well as fuel an already delusional character?

The biggest names in the Nazi hierarchy appeared to be working together from a distance, but behind the scenes it was a different story. Nepotism, corruption, and fear ran rampant.

In pursuit of their Aryan dream, the Nazis were encumbered by an ideological war from within that would undermine their ability to succeed in World War II.

Early victories in World War II injected Hitler with a precipitous sense of over-confidence that was eventually tested and proven vulnerable.
