Why Hitler Lost the War: German Strategic Mistakes in WWII
A series of reflectons on how WWII ended for Germany and why.
Andrew Roberts, an establishment historian, and writer of a fawning biography of Winston Spencer-Churchill claims that Hitler lost the Second World War because he made "strategic mistakes". Andrew Roberts notes that a lost German bomber dropped some bombs on the East End of London, and Winston Spencer-Churchill used this as a pretext to order a bomber raid on Berlin. Roberts then claims Hitler ordered a reprisal raid on London, instead of continuing with an attack of RAF fighter airfields. In fact, Hitler, had proceeded with the campaign, to attack London's port facilities, as the Luftwaffe had incorrectly assumed that the RAF had been destroyed. Roberts does not state that Churchill's order to attack Berlin was a criminal one to attack civilians. Hitler characterised Spencer-Churchill as "a superannuated drunk financed by Jewish gold". Such an analysis by Hitler is undoubtedly correct. What can one say about Robert's incorrect and rather stupid analysis that Hitler made "strategic mistakes" and lost a war he could have won? Roberts continues on in this video (26 minutes) with continual mistakes, and with typical poor analysis, comes to the totally wrong conclusion.
