  2. Better question would why didn't the Germans destroy the oil fields when they realized they could not take them?

  3. I wouldn't be bragging about losing soldiers at a 80:1 ratio. There are other factors at work here such as the quality of troops and equipment and the mentality to sacrifice men instead of using men intelligently to gain strategic control.

  5. Big deal. You don't need AI to translate Hitler's speeches into German.

  6. A better question would be "Could the allies have won WWII by themselves?"

  8. Don't knock the arts and social sciences. Most of these degrees are for teaching not working at Wally Mart. These teaching positions require a higher degree of education. Without teachers the arts and social sciences die just like any other profession would.

  10. @11:29 The Nazi explaining why he kills children reminds me of a couple of things. One is the eastern European philosophy of revenge where they kill you and your entire family less one of the children grows up and comes to kill you. The other was the philosophy towards Indians in the late 19th century in America where Indian children were considered the seeds of the next generation and needed to be eradicated also. Pretty damning stuff of civilization.

  11. The purpose of government is to provide goods and services to the public, regardless of cost, that the public can't otherwise build or afford. These services are paid for by taxes and as long as the public is willing to pay those taxes, the government will provide those services. The common misconception by people is that the government can create things out of thin air. The government can only provide those services at the will of the people willing to pay for them.

  12. If people are not willing to pay taxes, then riots can happen as in countries throughout history but in a modern democracy more likely those services will be cut back or eliminated.

  13. The Nazis were nothing more than bullies and sadists and in the end cowards.

  14. Question: Could Paulus have abandoned Stalingrad before encirclement? Answer: No, Hitler wouldn't let it happen.

  15. I remember reading somewhere that they performed autopsies on German soldiers that died in Stalingrad. They found that their internal organs were shrunken indicating starvation.

  16. Going straight for Moscow didn't work out for Napoleon what made them think it would work out for them?

  18. In what way are you referring that's wrong?

  19. If you bought war bonds in Germany during WWII, would you or could you collect after the war?

  20. Hitler's response to Mannstein's strategy of pulling back, consolidating forces then attacking was not viable thinking. Using a conquered territories resources takes years and is not instant gratification like what Hitler wanted.
