Kursk was the game changer. Had the Reich won the battle, Stalin would've been in deep trouble. Combine this with a Japanese attack on Valdivostock and capturing the port, no lend lease would've arrived. Hitler had to halt the battle and transfer German divisions to Italy, after the Allies landed in Sicily and Anzio. The Waffen SS was the most diverse fighting force, probably of all time. Over 25 nationalities and several races formed units. But you'll never learn this in your "social studies" class. After all priority must be given to important stuff like "pronouns" pathetic.
very interesting. it certainly shows how German soldiers were trained to take initiative and think for themselves - something that goes back to von Möltke the Elder.
