How did the Germans do it?


Germany is a relativity small country - 80 million population. Yet, it took almost the entire rest of the world, as well as luck, to defeat them. Germany could have (maybe even should have) won the war. How did they do it?

"Germany could have (maybe even should have) won the war." That is quite a statement when you are describing a country that systematically killed millions of innocents in the name of the "Jewish question" plus many, many more for being homosexuals, the infirm, dissidents and other categories that were considered to be non-Aryan. Please do elaborate why Germany "should" have won the war. What do you think the outcome would have been if they had?

@maritimus-57180. I guess the question relates to my use of the word 'should.' There's no argument that they 'could' have won the war. 'Should have?' My meaning is that in 1942 they were winning the war but couldn't maintain it.

What would the outcome be if they had won? Once the U.S. entered the war, the outcome is known. If the U.S. does not enter the war and the Germans win? We'd have a far different Europe and Asia today.
