Why did Germans prefer to freeze to death rather than burn trees to keep warm in World War II?

Why not burn trees to keep warm? Everyone knows that there is something wrong with the German transportation and supply lines. It suddenly became cold, and the counterattack of the Soviet Red Army made it too late for them to flee for their lives. Because of the tradition of protecting forest resources, the Soviets would rather freeze to death than burn the hope of their homes and future generations.

Unless Hitler is crazy, he will not provoke the Soviet Union and fall into the pit of two-front operations without Britain surrendering; Unless the army is crazy, it will not attack Moscow; Unless the commander-in-chief is crazy, he will not consider what to do in winter in Russia; It happened that Hitler was crazy, so he fought a beautiful blitzkrieg, hit the Soviet Union hard, and then was countered to extinction.

After all, Hitler's inexplicable two-wing thinking hurt the Germans and immediately attacked Moscow. Suddenly, he told guderian to fight in Kiev in the Caucasus, and he came back as cold as a dog.

Newly cut trees are difficult to burn, especially in the cold winter when the snow is thick, unless flammable materials (such as fuel) are ignited, then the newly cut trees are set up and burned, and trees are added while burning to maintain the burning of trees. However, the Germans are at war and it is impossible to burn trees to keep warm. In addition, if one hundred people in Dovander burn trees to keep warm, the fuel for burning trees is not enough first, and there is smoke when burning trees.

Hitler didn't expect the war to get out of the severe winter at all, so he didn't prepare so many materials to keep out the cold and keep warm. In addition, the train tracks in Germany and the Soviet Union are different and cannot be used universally. When the Soviet Union retreated, nothing was left. Germany's failure was not accidental. It's only a matter of time before the blitzkrieg of fascist Germany meets large tracts of territory, brave and fearless troops and the containment of Britain and the United States.

It is ok to cut down trees to keep warm, and the Soviet Union can't destroy the whole forest any more. You know, Germany is moving at a high speed. The problem is that Germany is the attacker. If you want to annihilate the Soviet Union in one breath, you must go out of the greenhouse and fight the Soviet Union in the wild. This is why Germany froze to death.

30 degrees below zero, that is, 20 degrees below zero will freeze to death. Do you believe it or not? Don't look -30 degrees is just a number. You don't know what cold is until you really experience it. You will feel cold. The more you bake, the colder it gets. What's more, they have to fight. There wasn't so much high-calorie food before. I'll describe what it's like to take out your mobile phone and answer the phone at -25 degrees. Go to such a cold place for the first time, and then take it out to unlock it!

Many people say that Hitler lost Ukraine earlier and may take Moscow before winter. But is it useful to take Moscow? That year Napoleon captured Moscow, but the Russians themselves set fire to the czar's winter palace, leaving nothing behind. Napoleon also failed, so this is not the key to winning Moscow. The key lies in the Soviet Union's deep strategy and firm will to resist, and Hitler is bound to fail. The other factor is Hitler's death penalty order.

To tell the truth, if German supply keeps up, Germany will fight the Soviet Union. At first, the Germans captured tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. It is nonsense to say that the Russians are at war with others. German talents were definitely the best in the world at that time. Many of Germany's grandfathers and great-grandfathers were soldiers and were influenced by the army since childhood. Those air force pilots are originally members of the flight club, and they are usually trained by the air force.

People regard war as a kind of entertainment. Europe's heavy industry as a whole is not as good as that of the Soviet Union, which is the reason for Germany's failure. Comprehensive national strength is not comparable. The population of the Soviet Union is 65.438+0.8 billion. Germany has only 60 million, and the output of many industries in the Soviet Union has surpassed that of the United States and Germany, especially its developed heavy industry. The long battle turned into a war of attrition. The balance of victory is inevitably biased towards the Soviet Union. The birth rate in the Soviet Union was as high as 4% during World War II. Think about it.

First of all, people who are not in the cold zone go to live in the cold zone, and his ability to keep out the cold is definitely unmatched by locals. Second, cutting down trees to keep warm during marching operations is actually very easy to expose one's goals and very unsafe. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Third, the temperature in the Soviet Union is very low. For example, a Siberian cold current that everyone is particularly familiar with is actually synonymous with extreme cold. The cold degree of the Soviet Union is estimated to be colder than the coldest weather in Northeast China.

I have read classic articles and books about World War II. This was the wartime situation at that time. The biggest reason why the Germans failed in the Soviet Union was that logistics and post-test support were completely backward. In foreign countries, it was a war of aggression. In addition, the weather was extremely cold and bad at that time, and the winter came very early that year. German officers and men also wore autumn clothes to fight against the Soviet Union. Freezing to death and frostbite, the opponent was a fighting nation, and the war became more and more difficult, which led to the final defeat of the Soviet Union and all the way back to Germany. The Soviet Union won a decisive victory in the battle of the Western Front!

First, in a war zone, a fire will definitely expose the target. Second, after entering Moscow, there will be street fighting. Do not have the conditions for street fighting. Even you dare not strike a fire with wood. The biggest threat to soldiers in street fighting is the individual sniper. Third, in the street fighting in Moscow, time is too fast to attack and defend back and forth. One second it may be occupied by the Germans, and the next it may be occupied by the Soviets. So there is no time to make a fire, even a few seconds and minutes are useless, and I dare not stay too long, because there are enemies at the door at any time. Fourth, the place where trees can grow must be an open place. In an open place, cutting down trees will attract artillery attacks at any time, unless it is around the collective headquarters of the group army or divisions. However, as soon as the Germans entered Moscow, they entered the street fighting nonstop, and there were no redundant troops assembled in the suburbs. Fifth, even if it is possible to cut down trees, we should know that the cut trees contain water, not that they can be burned in two days or even 10 days, especially in winter in Moscow. It can be said that it can't be burned for months.

It is a lie that the Germans lost to the cold at the gates of Moscow. During the German offensive stage (late September-65438+early February), the lowest temperature in Moscow was only-10 degrees, which was very conducive to the German offensive, and the Soviet Union gradually cooled down during the counterattack stage. In fact, before the Soviet counterattack, the German Central Army Group had lost its combat effectiveness in early June165438+1October. Bock said that German troops were not enough to defend 165438+1Moscow in early October, so it was better to gamble and continue to attack. The German offensive lasted until the beginning of February, 65438+. The Soviet Union found that the German army was very weak in the early stage of the counterattack, and turned the partial counterattack into a big counterattack. The weather was not the main reason for Germany's defeat.

Have you calculated how much wood so many people have to burn? That's thousands of people. At first, you may have to walk hundreds of meters to drag a tree's wood back. In a few days, you may have to walk several kilometers to get back the same amount of wood. In a few months, you may not have to walk dozens of kilometers to find wood. It's cold, there is not enough food, and it is impossible for Germans to walk dozens of kilometers to cut down trees and drag them back to burn them. Otherwise, if there is wood for heating and all the food is eaten, it is better to eat more and exercise less to find a place to avoid the cold.

The early onset has little to do with the weather. The Soviet Union did a lot of preparatory work, which had a great influence on the morale and command of the German army. Many of them are French mercenaries, and their combat capability may be affected after setbacks. When the Soviet army 194 1 65438+February counterattacked, the German logistics failed to keep up, and there were not enough clothes to keep out the cold, so we had to saw the grain with a saw. As for the fire, the Soviet army didn't let him keep quiet, which is the point. In addition, the Germans have to rob many places repeatedly, and the time is tight, the task is heavy, and there is not much time. As for burning gasoline, they take it in the back. Are you afraid of wet wood when you have gasoline? German planes are also afraid of Soviet-made planes (the fuselage has a lot of wood materials)? The sudden bad weather in the later period was the main reason for the rapid defeat of the Germans in the later period, but the pot had to be backed by bad weather anyway.

When Kutuzov burned Moscow, the walls were clear, which made Napoleon suffer a lot and was defeated. Germans don't even know some historical common sense, and failure is doomed. Compared with Americans, they are smarter. Although they barked like dogs, they never confronted Russia directly, because they remembered the lessons of Napoleon and Hitler and didn't fall for it! The core of the war is to destroy the other side's effective strength and retreat immediately after destroying hundreds of thousands. Wait until the time is right for another wave. How can such a big country muster all its strength? Do it back and forth like sawing a tree. The Japanese can do China in the same way. Snacks are big, you should eat them bite by bite, and you can't choke.
