The Importance of Raw Materials in War Time Production

Towards the end of the war, in World War II the Allied forces were closing in and it looked like Berlin would soon fall, along with the NAZI regime 986 years sooner than Hitler had expected. You see, Hitler wanted to build his Third Reich to last 1000 years. Unfortunately for him, and the Germans; they bit off more than they could chew when they went after both the Russians and the Allied forces simultaneously.

Not long ago, I was discussing this with a military historian, and they indicated to me that Germany because they weren't able to make a deal with the Russians, and eventually went to war with themthe simpsons nike dunks , that they lost quite a few of their raw material resources which came from Russia, as Germany was one of their big trading partners. As you know Russia is mineral rich, and oil rich as well. My military historian acquaintance, said this was onetails nike dunks of the deciding factors of the war.

Yes, I see that point, and it is an interesting point, but towards the end of the war, well, even raw materials at that juncture might not have helped that much, as those factories were already being hit by nighttime bombing raids from Allied forces, and industrial espionage. Thus those factories were taking heavy losses, and they weren't able to keep up with manufacturing anyway, even if they had the raw materials. Indeed it was happenisuper mario nikes for sale ng simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the Allied forces were able to produce mass number of aircraft, ships, tanks, and guns. In fact, the unemployment rate in the United States was practically 0%. Even people in wheelchairs were working in factories, everyone banded together in a sense of nationalism to do whatever they could for the war effort.

So, indeed Germany was lacking in raw materials, fuel, oil, and everything else for that matter, and yes that was critical, but by the near end of the war, remember; the production cycle and shipping time. Much of that no longer mattered, the war was essentially closing in on Berlin, it was essentially over, all but surrender, which Hitler was too proud to do, wanting to fight to the last man, and the Russians and Allies obliged. Thankfully the Germans didn't get the atomic bomb first, but they were getting there, that might have really changed the outcome.

Face it, by that point Germany was finished, most in the high command knew it, and the population in Germany couldn't take it anymore. It was just a slow motion train wreck on the way to Berlin. So, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
