Comparison of military strength between Nazi Germany and its slave countries and the Allies in the European battlefield

Eastern Front battlefield:

Early World War II: "Barbarossa Plan" mobilization The German army had 152 divisions and 2 brigades with 3.3 million people, the German air force had 1.2 million people, and the navy had 100,000 people;

The slave country's army Finland had 16 divisions and 3 brigades, and Romania had 13 divisions and 9 There are 4 brigades in Hungary, totaling 900,000 people.

The total strength of the Axis powers on the Eastern Front is 181 divisions, 14 brigades, totaling 5.5 million men, 47,260 artillery pieces, 3,712 tanks, and 4,950 aircraft.

The middle and late stages of World War II: The German army suffered heavy losses and was replenished quickly. According to General Jodl’s records, as of November 1943, the German army still had 3.9 million troops in Russia, and 177,000 German troops were stationed in Finland. There are 486,000 German troops stationed in Norway and Denmark; 283,000 other Axis troops. At that time, the total number of Axis forces on the Eastern Front was 4.846 million.

The Russian army is at an advantage on the Eastern Front. At the beginning of 1945, the total number of Russian troops was about 5.5 million, which was slightly better than the German army. The Russian army has 5 times as many armored vehicles as the German army, 7 times as many artillery pieces as the German army, and 17 times as many aircraft as the German army.

Western Front Battlefield:

Early World War II: September 1, 1939, before the start of World War II, the Eastern Front refers to Poland, not Russia. After the fall of Poland, the "Eastern Front" pointed in the direction of Russia.

France and Britain supported their grandson and wanted to divert trouble eastward. They watched helplessly as their ally Poland gradually perished and did not help. Unexpectedly, they ended up shooting themselves in the foot and became one of the biggest jokes in political history.

Before September 1, 1939, Germany's total military strength was 103 divisions, 3,200 tanks, 2,500 aircraft, and 10,260 artillery pieces of various types.

On the Allied side, France, Britain, and Poland had 147 divisions, 4,100 tanks, 3,960 aircraft, and 12,200 artillery pieces of various types. Figures for countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium are unknown.

In the middle and late stages of World War II, Germany had 1.37 million troops stationed in France and Belgium. In addition, there are 412,000 troops stationed in Italy (these troops stationed in southern Europe should be counted as the southern front). In the Balkans, the German army was pinned down by Tito's guerrillas with 612,000 troops. No matter how tight the troops on the Western Front were, they could not draw them out.

At this time, the Japanese army's approximately one million elite troops have been constrained on the Chinese battlefield and cannot be transferred to the Pacific battlefield or other battlefields. They have completely lost their strategic mobility and made the Allied forces "Europe first, Asia later" The grand strategy calmly comes to an end. When the Germans surrendered in 1945, the U.S. military was able to draw out its main force, avoid the real situation and attack the weak, and go straight to the Japanese lair. At this time, although the Japanese troops stationed in China were strong, they had become a tree without roots and water without a source. They had no way out and had to surrender to China.

The Allies on the Western Front have an absolute advantage. In mid-1944, the Allied forces had 20 times as many tanks as the Germans and 25 times as many aircraft as the Germans. On D-Day, in the direction of Normandy, the German army used only 319 aircraft to deal with the Allied forces' 12,837 aircraft, a difference of about 40 times.

The data can explain everything. The competition in modern war is comprehensive national strength. The Allied Powers far surpassed the Axis Powers in overall strength such as resources, industry, weapons, and manpower. In the European battlefield, Nazi Germany mainly relied on Italian support and countermeasures. The plundering of the occupied areas and the alliance with Japan did not help at all. The initial victory was only based on Nazi Germany's local advantages, powerful army and strategic opportunities. After entering the strategic stalemate stage, the only thing that did not compete was comprehensive national strength. The Soviet Union violently invaded the east. On the front line, the American and British Allied Forces landed in the west with a strong advantage. It was only a matter of time before Nazi Germany's defeat. Nazi Germany's mistake was that it overestimated itself and underestimated its opponents. It went to war with the Soviet Union and Britain, and formed an alliance with Japan to bring the United States into the Allies. If During World War II, Germany was at the helm of Bismarck. It should not have gone to war with the Soviet Union, Britain, and the United States. Instead, it would have swallowed up the European continent and forced the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom to recognize Germany's territory in Europe?
