Why did the Nazi’s lose the Second World War?

The Nazis lost the Second World War due to a variety of reasons. He had a weak ally in Italy, who were easily invaded by the allies due to their outdated equipment and poor military leadership. The entering of the USA into the war severely hindered the progress of Germany. The USA had endless amounts of supplies and man power that they could give the allies and forced huge pressures on Germany. Hitler also declared himself commander in chief of the German army and focused far too much on making the officers and soldiers idolise him. due to this, Hitler did not listen to the advice of his generals. After Germany started losing battles, Hitler became frustrated at his generals for not listening to him, this led to a breakdown in communication between them. The Russian winter also affected the german army. Germany did not prepare for the Russian winter as they believed the war with them would be over by then. However, german soldiers found themselves stuck in a russian winter, unprepared, causing discontent amongst the ranks. Italy wanted to show themselves as a strong power and invaded Greece. Germany had to bail them out after it went disastrously wrong. This delayed the russian invasion by six months, meaning that the german army found itself stuck in the middle of a russian winter. The Battle of Stalingrad was also a turning point in the war and the 6th army unit that was trapped there was destroyed, allowing the Soviet army to claim more of Russia back. The Battle of Britain also weaken Germany as Britain reclaimed the skies and the D-Day landings marked a final successful push against Germany on land. As well as this, the breaking of the enigma code by Alan Turing and his associates also was a huge turning point in favour of the allies as they could follow Germany’s strategic plans.
