Sorry, but I gotta disagree with what I infer to be your opinion. The brutality and ruthlessness of the Nazis were not what caused them ultimately to lose the war.

No, I submit that there was never a “failure” of the Third Reich. Rather, the regime was CRUSHED by the combined impact of America’s industrial might on the western front and Russia’s inexhaustible supply of manpower on the eastern front. Absent those twinned pincers, west and east, the Third Reich might still be with us today.

(A very good recent book about the Nazi regime’s distressingly effective control over the German people is “The End” by Ian Kershaw.)
