  7. GERMANY The military strategies employed.

  8. GERMANY – LAND(Two main tactics that Hilter used) • Barbarossa • BLITZKREIG • Operation Blue

  9. Barbarossa • The first version of the plan was to have a massive attack on Moscow – his primary target. He also wanted a secondary attack on Kiev and two masking attacks in the Baltic towards Leningrad and in Moldavia in the south. • For the next version of the plan, he changed Marcks plan by having three thrusts; a major one against Moscow, a smaller attack on Kiev and a major attack on Leningrad. After taking Moscow and Leningrad, Halder wanted a move north to Archangel. After Kiev had fallen, he envisaged a drive into the Don/Volga region. • The third and final variant was Hitler’s plan which he codenamed Barbarossa.

  10. BLITZKREIG AIMS : >He wanted to fully develop and implement this strategy of Blitzkrieg or lighting war to ensure that Germany would never again be humiliated as they were in World War 1. >Hitler now had his military operation of Blitzkrieg to accomplish his goals of world domination.

  11. STRENGTH: The only weapon that stopped the blitzkrieg of Germany was the very severe Russian winter. • German and Hitler’s blitzkrieg military strategies were considered to be one of the most successful military tactics ever implanted in the history of warfare.

  12. Operation blue Hitler drove east at the beginning of May Thrust was dynamic EFFECTIVENESS: 170,000 Russians taken prisoner in the first week

  13. GERMANY - SEA • Modern technology • Cutting enemy’s supplies off • Using good strategies from others

  14. Operation Rheinubung AIMS: break into the Atlantic and attack Allied shipping, Was mainly not to defeat enemies of equal strength, but to tie them down in a delaying action, while preserving her combat capacity as much as possible, so as to allow more ships to get at the merchant ships in the convoy.

  15. GERMANY - AIR • Superior weaponary • Modern design and technology

  16. SIMILARITIES IN STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY GERMANY AND BRITAIN GERMANY Had well-planned strategies • Increased war production • Well-prepared • Modern technology • Propaganda • Fast thinking Had well-planned strategies • Increased war production • Well-prepared • Modern technology • Propaganda • Fast thinking BRITAIN
