There is a reason they used the strategy they did. If they could just walk thousands of miles unopposed they would have done those things.
The fantasy that Germany could have won by just never losing any major battle is amusing. The war revealed fascism's weakness by collapsing the moment they had major setbacks. They didn't build any great "reich", they just plundered Europe. When they couldn't do that anymore they imploded. The Soviet Union however had massive setbacks and rallied to destroy the Nazis. Its living proof of a superior system that could adapt and endure hardship. Fascism is the definition of unsustainable because it requires constant success to sustain itself and goes belly up the moment things get tough.
I would be interested in asking this poster why the Russians were able to rally back and win while the Germans could not do the same. They got blown away like a fart in the wind when they had to be on the defensive.
You play hearts of iron to simulate what if country went communist scenarios, you don’t play hearts of iron to play the le bad guys or else you are 100% a nazi.
The war revealed fascism’s weakness by collapsing the moment they had major setbacks.
a fascist regime is fundamentally incapable of accurately assessing their enemy's strength
the ideology relies on the enemy being absurdly weak but also insurmountably strong at the same time
