Response - Biggest mistake of ww2

spidge · 15-03-2006, 01:05 AM

This is a response to the "Biggest mistake of WW2 question that I ran across on Google. (Brothers in Arms site)

Any comments??

yeah im with the rest of them. i think the worst thing he done was declare war on russia, after all, it was in russia that the germans recieved their first crushing defeat. i dnt think hitler unleashed anything when it comes to america, remember their hearts were in it to beat japan more than germany. and remember, the americans had, and still do have a habbit of killing thier own people, after all, they shot down more british pilots than the germans did. maybe britain would have been better off alone, maybe all they need was sometime to gather their thoughts, their strenght, but perhaps mst importantly their morale. thats just my thought.

And another!

I think one of the the biggest mistake was that the Allies gave the Russians right to as much of Berlin as they did. Had the Allies not done so, or launched and attack against the Russians, alot of trouble could have been prevented in later years(Cold War). Oh well, like they say, hindsight is 20-20.

We already have some, how can I put it in a diplomatic way, avant guard views from some posters on this forum. I'm sure the amusement value will soon be lost in the lack of sensible and meaningful comment.
