..instead of getting right to the point of invading Russia, he decided to invade the Balkans instead...putting the entire invasion of Russia on hold!
Shades of Sea Lion, the German generals thought, perhaps the invasion of Russia was as much a pipe dream as the invasion of England was.
The preparations for Barbarossa (and its March start date) were thrown out the window as the Wehrmacht was re-deployed to carry out the latest whim of the Fuehrer down south: invade the Balkans in April of 1941...followed up by a last minute decision to send of a contingent of German forces to North Africa.
Once the sideshow and distraction of the Balkans Campaign was over, the Fuehrer told the general..."get back to re-organizing for Barbarossa!”
The Fuehrer had not forgotten. It turned out he was going to invade Russia that same year after all.
So following the re-re-deployment from this distraction the German Army was once more re-deployed to begin Barbarossa in late June.
One can only speculate about where Barbarossa would have gone if German forces had been allowed to invaded the Soviet Union in March, as originally envisioned - that would have given them three more months of campaigning weather in order to head off the paralyzing ‘rasputista’ mud that would paralyze the German Army in October.
Simply put, had Barbarossa been launched in March instead of June, the Germans would have had SEVEN months of campaign weather instead of the measly four months allowed by the Barbarossa start date.
But the Barbarossa was itself not yet complete.
Minor details still had to be decided at the Fuehrer’s whim...like...the main objectives of the entire invasion.
These latter points were never really decided upon by the Fuehrer himself, so they were mostly left...undecided!
That’s right. The biggest invasion in human history had NO FIXED OBJECTIVES! It would simply be decided later...the Fuehrer would cross that bridge when he came to it.
The German generals assumed it would be Moscow, but one is prone to make mistakes when trying to predict the whims of the Fuehrer.
Finally...having put everything in place (once again) in order for the great invasion of Russia, the generals and experts eagerly awaited for the plan to mobilize Germany for total war (just like Britain had already done back in 1940).
But no such plan came down the drain pipe.
Nothing of the sort would happen.
The Fuehrer decided that Germany could take on the Russian behemoth with only a partial mobilization...no need to upset the German people and the economy with such a small matter.
They would be in Moscow in two months, according to the good people in the Abwehr.
So Barbarossa was launched in late June of 1941.
It made steady progress, even as it came across hordes of Russian tanks and troops which began to exceed, by several magnitudes, the total amount the Russians were supposed to have in the first place...according to the Abwehr calculations.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
If you could compare WW-II to the Vietnam War, Hitler was playing the perfect McNamara to the Abwehr’s CIA...totally messing up the entire campaign in the process.
By this stage of the game, the German Panzer experts knew they had scored a Sunday punch on a gigantic behemoth...and that they had to keep the advance going in order to keep it off balance.
But the Fuehrer again interfered in the campaign, demanding that Russian forces be annihilated in detail before allowing the German panzers to advance, instead of leaving the surrounded Russians to rot on the vine.
As a result, the panzer divisions were sent on time-wasting operations to the north and south of surrounded Russian forces to ‘cut them off’ - and were even ordered to wait as German infantry finished off the entrapped enemy - instead continuing the headlong advance towards the objective, as they had done in France.
In spite of all this, the German Panzer Armies were, by August of 1941, poised a mere 200 miles from Moscow and ready to deliver the final blow.
But it was not to be.
Interfering Adolf had to stick his hands in the batter again.
HITLE FUMBLES BARBAROSSA
What did the Fuehrer do at this critical junction?
He split up the central forces that were about to begin the final advance on Moscow!
One part was ordered to move north to participate in the siege of Leningrad.
The second half was ordered to rush south in order to assist in siege of Kiev.
The southern effort became even more useless when it became clear that the additional forces were not needed to take Kiev in the first place!
The German generals were literally tearing at their hair, in fact, the chief of the German General Staff - General Franz Halder - had a complete mental breakdown.
Asinine Adolf was just too much for the all too professional and serious German general staff.
The German generals, it seems, had only, after all, ASSUMED Moscow was the main objective - now the Fuehrer had just added two more out of thin air!
Or did he?
By September he changed his mind again, ordering the hapless and confused generals they were now to take Moscow after all!
More reshuffling, more re-deployment, more re-organizing took place under the now quickly dropping temperatures to try to accomplish the Fuehrer’s new whim.
It took until the end of September to re-deploy all the German forces back from their northern and southern dispersal.
All this after giving the Russians an entire MONTH to prepare the defenses around Moscow.
By the time the German Army had been re-deployed to continue the advance on Moscow, it was the last day of September...and the beginning of the October ‘rasputista’ mud season...which began as the first snows started melting in the fall weather.
That’s right, the masterful re-deployment of the German Army had re-launched the offensive right into a sea of impassable mud!
The hard put German generals turned to Hitler and suggested that it might simply be wiser to dig in and consolidate given the hopeless reality of a mud offensive.
NEIN! said the Fuehrer, the offensive would continue right through the mud and through the freezing weather beyond!
The pathetic offensive continued through mud that reached right up to the thighs of a marching soldier.
The pathetic agony did not end until mid November, when the quickly dropping temperatures turned the mud to ice.
The single-minded nonsense continued even than as exhausted and freezing German soldiers pushed on against the Russian defenses that were not there two months prior, when they should have attacked.
It continued through the freezing cold...the snow...the ice...the waist deep snow...and the dwindling supplies.
It seemed almost like a campaign directed by General Don Quixote!
By its end the German Army was freezing outside of Moscow.
Why?
It was freezing because the Fuehrer had decided NOT to deliver any winter clothing...preferring to increase the amount of fuel and ammunition for his useless offensive instead of diverting any of his supply effort for a one time delivery of winter clothing!
General Wagner, the quartermaster general collaborating in this treachery WAS later shot as a traitor in 1944.
Bravo!
As the Moscow offensive - the final swan song of Barbarossa - was coming to a grinding and freezing halt - the latest of his failures since 1940, the Fuehrer had another novel idea.
He would decalre war on the United States!
Now this military genius not only faced an inconclusive war against England, not only faced an unending war against Russia...but decided at this critical juncture to also declare war on the United States - opening a THIRD front!
What a Christmas present for the hopeless freezing Germans outside of Moscow.
Shocked, the German industrial experts and generals again asked the Fuehrer if NOW would not be a good time to carry out a total mobilization of the German economy in order carry out a three front war.
NEIN! said the Fuehrer.
There would be no total mobilization!
In fact, Germany would not be permitted to even begin to mobilize totally for war by the Fuehrer...until 1943!
To make things worse, it seems that faulty Abwehr intelligence had neglected to inform the Germans that Moscow would be launching a massive counter-offensive just as the attacking German forces collapsed into freezing exhaustion before Moscow.
The ‘surprise’ Russian offensive caught the miserable German troops with their pants down
It was to be only the first of a total of FOUR surprise Soviet offensives the Germans would be hit with throughout the entire war thanks to the useless intelligence of the Abwehr.
HITLER GOES SOUTH
A new attack on Moscow the following year was totally discarded by Hitler, which was a pity because Moscow made up THE road and rail communication hub through which most Russian supplies had to travel.
Instead, the new Napoleon ordered a new offensive way south on Stalingrad...and to the far off Caucasus Mountains if that worked out.
One wonders if all these ideas are that of a blossoming military mind or the meanderings of some mediocre artist imagining what to put on canvas next.
This time the obedient German Army inserted its head squarely in the noose that turned out to be Stalingrad on the Volga.
The result, was, of course, a disaster, as...the northern German flank was left in the hands of the Rumanian Army....and signs of an upcoming Russian offensive on the Rumanians were totally ignored...and once it happened...the German forces in Stalingrad received the order to stay put!
Not only was German 6th Army surrounded, but the Fuehrer forbade it to even attempt to break out and save itself!
Even the famous General Manstein disobeyed orders and attempted to reach the cut-off defenders on his own, but the truth was the Fuehrer had already ordered the troops at Stalingrad to stay in place, freeze and die!
Another freezing hell visited the German Army, accompanied by another unpredicted Russian counter-offensive that swept over the area and pushed the Germans out of the general area.
HITLER & KURSK
So far the German Army had launched two offensives right into the mouth of unforeseen ‘surprise’ Russian counter-offensives.
Why not launch a third?
This time at the ‘pocket’ at and around Kursk, which the German generals had been wanting to sew up in April, but which the Fuehrer had been keeping them from doing so until July...while letting the Soviets turn the area into a giant fortified killing zone.
By the time the Fuehrer ordered the generals to go in, they had already, in fact, given up on the idea - in fact, the heavily fortified Kursk salient now looked like a pretty good area NOT to attack. But logic and the obvious was not to take hold...when did it ever under the Fuehrer?
‘Now you will attack!’ said the Fuehrer.
And the German generals, like the docile mules that they were, did so...right into a nightmare of minefields, trenches, tank traps, guns, machine guns and reserve armored forces.
The German forces lost so heavily at Kursk that the entire attack ground itself to a halt within three days.
The suprisingly harrowing and costly attack on a prepared position was topped off by another surprise - another Soviet counter-offensive!
That’s right, at the conclusion of the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets launched another massive unforseen (by the Abwehr) counter-offensive which pushed the German Army back with massive casualties across large swathes of territory.
All the German tanks sacrificed in the suicidal and useless Kursk attack might have been able to stop the new Soviet offensive, but after Kursk this was no longer the case - the German armored force had been bled white by this battle, conveniently, just prior to the Russian offensive!
As if this wasn’t bad enough, the Fuehrer announced to all concerned (as the front collapsed into hellish chaos) that he was sending a large number of German troops away from the collapsing front...all the way back to Italy!
At this moment in time, it must have become clear to the German generals that this was not a war...but a three ring circus, complete with a lunatic (traitor) at the top.
It was probably at around this time that many of the German generals began to think it was perhaps a good idea to blow the crazy twit to kingdom come!
The only good news that year of 1943 was that the Fuehrer had finally acquiesced that Germany could finally begin to mobilize for total war (something England, Russia and the US had done right at the beginning).
HITLER MESSES UP GERMANY’S JET FIGHTER
Hitler’s destructive interference continue right into 1944, when he declared the new groundbreaking Me-262 jet fighter...a bomber....and delayed its deployment by ordering that it be redesigned as one.
HITLER FACILITATES D-DAY
The Fuehrer’s decisions also helped the Allies at D-Day.
Once the invasion happened in Normandy, the Fuehrer purposely hampered an immediate counter-attack stating that the real invasion would come farther north.
He continued keeping the reserves from the German general in charge during the entire first week of the invasion.
If he had simply let Rommel take charge, D-Day would have found at least one entire panzer division right at the Normandy beaches.
HITLER MESSES UP THE VENGEANCE WEAPONS
When the V1 flying bombs became available, instead of letting the the Luftwaffe use them to bomb the invasion docks, Hitler again interfered...saying they would be used as a terror weapon on London.
When the V2 ballistic missile was made available in September, Hitler continued to insist that it be used as a useless terror weapon against London again..instead of the invasion docks where it would have become a devastating weapon.
HITLER CREATES THE FALAISE POCKET
Once the Allies started breaking out of Normandy, it was Hitler again who insisted that the German formations would stay and die in place.
The result?
Large numbers of Germans were trapped and annihilated in the Falaise Pocket by artillery and air bombing when they had every chance to escape.
The only reason the Germans stayed...were trapped...and died at Falaise was because Hitler had ordered them to do so...for no gain or reason.
Eisenhower would later describe Calais as an endless carpet of German corpses and the wreckage of war spanning from horizon to horizon.
The slaughter of German forces at Falaise would facilitate the Allied advance to the German frontier, since so few German forces were left to oppose them.
HITLER MESSES UP RUSSIAN FRONT ONE LAST TIME
As always, the 1944 Russian offensive, called Operation Bagration, came as a complete surprise to the Germans.
The Russian offensive became even more devastating under Hitler’s ‘no retreat’ orders which doomed bypassed German units to annihilation.
Bagration could be said to have been the unofficial end of the German Army in the East.
HITLER PULLS OFF ONE LAST CRAZY OFFENSIVE
The twisted imagination of the Fuehrer was able to pull off one more crazy plan before the war ended called the Ardennes Offensive.
After allowing the vital Port of Antwerp to fall into Allied hands with little struggle and more or less intact, Hitler then turned the location into an obsession.
To take back the vital port, Hitler came up with another day dream.
His armies would strike by surprise in December and advance under winter fog all the way up to Antwerp through the old convoluted terrain of the Ardennes they had advanced so successfully through in 1940.
Back then the Allied air forces did not attack the German columns and let them advance unmolested through the forest. Why wouldn’t the same thing not happen now?
As is well known, the offensive fell apart, of course, as soon as the fog lifted and the Allied fighter bombers returned...to bomb the German columns into the mud.
A novel effect of this fantastic offensive were hordes of German tanks being abandoned to the enemy as they ran out of gas.
In the event, Hitler had sacrificed the last of the only remaining reserves in the West which could have possibly delayed the Allied advance into Germany proper.
The Battle of the Bulge was another Hitlerian gift to the allies by way of throwing away his forces and to facilitate future allied attacks into Germany itself.
HITLER DIES
Did he die?
In typical cover-up fashion, the corpse which was supposed to have been Hitler was totally incinerated following his supposed suicide.
Any cover up artist knows it’s easier to pass up a corpse as someone else when it is completely burned up.
The teeth can be modified to fit the subjects dental records, as the Gestapo was rumored to have done with some unfortunate that was to fill in for the Fuehrer’s corpse.
Along with Hitler a lot of other double agents like Borman and Muller also disappeared into thin air (some speculate they went running back home to Communist Russia).
Lately new research depicts Hitler as having retired to Argentina (along with many other Nazis) following his very efficient destruction of the Third Reich.
CONCLUSION
The reason for WW-II was to finish what WW-I left unaccomplished.
As you remember, the resulting League of Nations had not worked after WW-I...the postwar United Nations took care of that.
As you remember, the resulting Communist attacks after WW-I in Eastern Europe were decisively repelled by the Eastern Europeans...the wartime Soviet offensives took care of that.
As you remember, the Communist uprisings which were supposed to divide up Germany after WW-I were squasherd...the Soviet entry into East Germany took care of that.
As you remember, the new nation of Israel did not exactly take off after WW-I because the Jews were very happy where they were and Britain was dragging here boots...the Nazi persecution of the Jews and shared universal guilt took care of that.
As you remember a new staring war between Communism and Capitalism did not take place after WW-I because the Soviet Union had basically collapsed into a neglected backwater state...the resulting Cold War took care of that.
As you remember, the new united Europe never happened after WW-I...the postwar European Union took care of that.
So you see, Hitler WAS the useful catalyst of a whole lot of New World Order accomplishments.
He was the part-II needed to wrap up the initial goals of the First World War.
As such, he was not an instrument of revival or victory for the Germans, but an intelligence agent tasked with setting in motion the game change that would put Europe - through creative destruction - on the road to molding itself a step closer towards the Illuminati concept of a New World Order.
