User Comments : Some of the notable comments about this
poll were:
- Destruction
of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad meant the Germans weren't going to win WWII,
but it didn't mean they had to lose the war, but Kursk and the German mis-assessment
of its outcome (intelligence failures) most certainly
- Hitler
didn't have the means to support armies on 2 fronts.
- Hitler
should have subdued the UK before committing 75% of his troops to another
front; fact!
- Arden
forest
- Bombing
of German oil refineries
- Germany's
failure to capture Moscow in 1941 was the real turning point.
- All
have their positive points but it is probably true to say that the scale of
the destruction of men, machines and morale at Stalingrad took the most out
of the German ability to be positive in their belief in their own
invincibility.
- cryptography
- Stalingrad
seems to attract the most votes because it was the first time that the German
army had suffered such a great defeat but the invasion of Russia was the
biggest mistake Hitler made. lets not forget what he said some months after
the invasion:" if i knew that a nation could field 30000 tanks i would
had reconsidered my decision"
- defeat
at Stalingrad was a military and more importantly psychological turning
point in WW2
- implementation
and failure of the 'general plan east'
- both
my grand dads fought on opposite sides
- Allowing
Hitler to come to power lost the war.
