The greatest strategy

of Hitler, this part of

the history is theleast discussed

inspite of its huge

importance in the

WW-II history.

From 10 divisions to 136

divisions, Hitler kept

producing infantry,

armors, tanks, warships,

aircrafts, and all this

was done right under

the noses of ALLIED

Forces



Chancellor Ruler

Enabling ACT made him

the ruler

Ruler Military

Leader

Rhineland March made

him the messiah

Talk of peace, make

peace keeping armies.

Use civil services to

cover military preparations.

Control media to hide

information vital to

Germany

Show courage where

everyone else shows fear.



This event was probably

one of the most

peaceful conquering

of a country and all

because of the greatstrategic moves Hitler

made.

Hitler made use of every

resource in his arsenal.

Austrian Nazis

causing havoc. Use of fear on

Austrian Chancellor.

Building wall against

France incursion.



Under a tremendous

military pressure,propaganda,

Schuschnigg gave

the power to theNazis.

Strategic Importance:

No allied forces

could do much.

7 million additionalsubjects for Reich.

Strategically

important position for

future conquest



TREATY OF MUNICH:

Hitler, Chamberlain,Daladier of France andMussolini of Italy met

in Munich and agreedthat Hitler should have

the Sudetanland of Czechoslovakia.

The Czechs were

forced to surrender the

Sudetenland to Germany,

and were not even

represented in Munich.

Chamberlain returned

to England with a piece

of paper signed by Hitler,

proclaiming 'peace in our

time.'



Hitler knew that alliedforces wanted toavoid war, so he

stretched them totheir limits in hisfavor.

Hitler used the

pretext of Germans inSudetenland to takeover a part of Czechs.

Talked of peace while

conquering.

Not inviting the

country under questionwas a wisely thought up

strategic move.

Helped in insurgence

of revolts in the areathus forcing Czechs to

declare martial law.



The pact of steel

with Italy on May

22nd 1939.

The NAP with

Soviet Union on 23rd

August 1939.

Secret pact of dividingPoland the same day.

Trying to offer British a

similar offer.

Kept his generals in

confidence using

propaganda for each of

the war



Attack on Poland on

Sep 1st 1939.

Declaration of war by

allies on Sep 3rd

1939.

Strategy Moves:

Blitzkrieg, the surprise

attack move was used for

the first time in the world

Hitler went on back foot

and accepted Russian

demands in this case to

avoid confrontation.



Britain and France

both had declared

war on Germany

after the Polish

attack, but both did

not see much action

against Germany

This behavior was

encashed upon by Hitler

in his favor, as he knew

that France and Britishwanted to avoid war, and

thus he used the next 6

months to consolidate

his position.



Hitler was contemplating his

next target as he wanted

as well as wanted to avoidconfrontation with allied

forces in France.

A veteran of WW-I suggestedthat he should take over

Denmark, Norway next.

Strategic Importance:

The various strategic ports,

airbases in Scandinavian

region could be used to help

their own navy and air-force

for future conquests.

Various militarily important

resources like iron-ore, timber

were easily available in this

region, and could be used to

further Germanys cause and

army.



And so the AXIS allies

reached their highest

point in historyconquering France in

one final sweep. France

signed an armistice

treaty under greatpressure on June 22nd

1940.

GRAND PLAN:

This great plan changed history

only to see Germany defeated

later.

The plan was to use a majorGerman armored forces offensive

in the center. These will then run

to the channel ports. Attacking

from right wing and attacking at

Sedan will eventually round up all

the Anglo-French as well as

Belgium armies.



Using diplomatic moves to avoid

war in the start

Using terror as a weapon to notonly control Germany, but take

control of Austria as well as

Czechoslovakia without war

Talking of peace again and again

to avoid unnecessary

aggression.

Creating strategically important

alliances from time to time to

further his own purpose.

Using speeches, and propaganda

to further his purpose.

Making use of good battle moves

on the battlefield, and listening to

the suggestions of his army

however bad they may be.

Having faith, confidence in

himself even when his generals

were dead against him.



Although Hitler was a

good general, and

even considered

himself a military

genius, he made

some fatal mistakes

which later changedthe course of battle.

Battle of Dunkirk : After rounding

up all allied forces, he ordered his

army to halt, and with-in next 4

days, British soldiers were

evacuated from the port of Dunkirk

right under Germanys nose.

Signing a pact with Italy which was

not at all strong at that time. It

even betrayed him at one point.

He was also arrogant, rash and had

a tendency to act on impulse,

which he later did, and that led to

Germany loosing the war.
