A good wartime leader must have control over, and understand the three different aspects of war, sky, water, and land. Along with this comes the elements of strategy, determination, and creativity of ideas. In terms of determination, and creativity Hitler can in no way be disputed as a good wartime leader, however overall his actions during World War II were not those of a great war leader but rather those of an eccentric, whose beliefs in Aryanism and conquest controlled his actions to the point of costing him the War.

To many World War II has been seen as the most horrible world conflict that has ever taken place. During its time more then 50 million people lost their lives in battle, concentratio

. This made it impossible to use the newly conquered territory's resources.

This is where Hitler as a War leader shined through his predecessors. His ingenuity lead to the creation of one of the strongest air forces the world had ever seen, along with a navy which although small was slowly growing in strength, and the first unstoppable tactic for ground warfare, Blitzkrieg. This ingenuity proved to be Hitler's greatest contribution to his campaign, however his ineptness and stupidity would eventually lead to the downfall of the entire state.

n camps, or resulting from famine. The causes of this war are numerous, but one of the unarguable catalysts in this War was Adolf Hitler. Hitler, the German dictator who's use of political speeches, propaganda, and elimination of competition led to his election as chancellor in 1933. Hitler's methods as a wartime leader have come under great criticism as historians retrace his footsteps, but one thing is certain. Although Adolf Hitler was an eccentric, his strategies for warfare were brilliant and revolutionary. This said as a wartime leader he lacked many of the necessary skills to have been successful and that was why he failed to achieve his goal. To rule all of Europe and perhaps if given the chance all of the world.

These gaps in German lines allowed soviet troops to fight under the "Iron Claw" and to surround the German troops and to destroy them. After this came winter and invisible uncalculated for which would eventually hamper Hitler's divisions to the point of their surrender. See had Hitler been a good wartime leader he would have studied history and known that the Russian winter in a force to be reckoned with. This force would cause unprepared Germans to freeze to death, and machines to break down. Like Napoleon Hitler lost to the Russian winter.

want to place the munitions industry in war proper war footing until 1943. Thus there was not enough money to create the planes. The soviet munitions were out of range for the Lutwaffe because they had no long-range bombers. Even though the German Lutwaffe enjoyed success they were never built in sufficient quantities to have an effect. Another problem with the air force was because the German pilots never stopped fighting until they were shot down.

One of Hitler's first objectives was to create a new strong air force. This air force was called the Lutwaffe. When Hitler unveiled his newly made Lutwaffe the world was impressed, here was modern day air force that could rival that of Britain and France. In both quality and quantity. By the outbreak of the war in 1939 the Lutwaffe looked to be the world's strongest air force. Its invasion of Poland that summer (1939) confirmed that impression. Under the surface however the German air force was flawed. The German air force failed to establish the right priorities for new typos of aircraft and lacked the production resources to create sufficient quantities of planes. In planed on ground combat for help.

bombing and cost Germany terms of making technological advances. The Lutwaffe during the early campaigns proved to be extremely affective. Goering simultaneously concentrated bombing to support the rapid advance of the ground troops, and this allowed Hitler's Blitzkrieg to become the best land attack tactic their had ever been. Not until Britain got involved did the strength of the Lutwaffe waver.

The RAF fighters were awesome and they made sure that the Germans would not control the skies without competition. When Goeing sent the Lutwaffe to pave the way for an attack on Britain in 1941 he badly underestimated the RAF and as a result the Lutwaffe suffered its first defeat. I
