As I was binge watching the series, I couldn\u2019t help but pull out every history book, paper, and lesson I had gone through in school to really dive into what were some of the fatal mistakes that the Axis (particularly Nazi Germany) had made to make it a fictional series, and thankfully, not a reality. The list could probably go on forever, but here\u2019s a list of four of the most important reasons for what I think cost the Nazis and Japanese their empires.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategic Blunders<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The brain drain. With Hitler\u2019s twisted and demonic ideology, he either drove away or killed millions of high IQ, highly skilled entrepreneurs, manufacturers, scientists, engineers, physicians, financers, etc. I think the quote \u201cOur Germans were better than their Germans,\u201d from the film \u2018The Right Stuff\u2019 sums up the incalculable waste of talent he could\u2019ve used.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Declaring War on The United States of America. On December 11, 1941, Nazi Germany declared war on the United States due to Japan\u2019s attack on Pearl Harbor four days earlier. However, according to the terms of their agreements, Germany was obliged to come to the aid of Japan if<\/em> a third country attacked Japan, but not if Japan attacked a third country. I think if Germany declared war on America, they had a great opportunity through the Kreigsmarine\u2019s U-boat fleet to knock all of his enemies in Europe out, but particularly Great Britain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The Invasion of the Soviet Union. Well, if any of you know about Napoleon, enough said, but that won\u2019t fly with my Editor.\u00a0Through the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, the Nazis had such an advantage that only a maniac could, and eventually, would ruin it. With their allies in the Balkans, Caucasus, and parts of Eastern Europe, they could have acquired the natural resources and material wealth that they desperately needed in order to maintain their dominance for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Failure to Work with Japan. It seems that throughout the war, Germany and Japan didn\u2019t really work at all and they were more \u201cfrenemies\u201d than actual allies. Throughout the war they had some joint operations, but I think they failed to operate on a grand scale. In my previous point, the German forces that were ultimately used on the Eastern Front, could have been used in North Africa, and the Middle East, who could eventually link up with Japanese Forces in India or Central Asia that were pushing in from China and Burma.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In conclusion, I think Adolf Hitler was obviously an evil monster, and because of his horrible ideology, it got in the way of making the right strategic moves at all the right times.\u00a0I think even if he didn’t commit half of the mistakes listed, the war would’ve gone on for years, and parts of “The Man in The High Castle” we could be living out right now.<\/p>\n
