    Revolutionary war
    It is imprtant for armies to have "game plans" so they can work together on different fronts at the same time. Why didn't that work for german's plans?

    You are correct that there must be a 'game plan' to coordinate war.
    You wrote: "why didn't that work for german's plans?" What are you asking about? Your topic says "Revolutionary War".

    I think you find that the Germans were master tacticians in every way, only when Hitler decided to interfere and control military master plans did they crumble enough for the allies to have a chance!

    If you are talking about the Revolutionary War... then, the german's were hired by the British and they weren't treated even like human beens. They had to listen to anyone above there ranks.

    No matter what war you are talking about, having a plan is only one factor. You also must have such things as intelligence concerning the enemy, resources to put the plan into operation, and the will to carry the fight to the finish.

    I am in no way a supporter of Nazism, but you are very wrong thischarmingman. Hitler was in fact a very, very smart man, he just applied his intellect to the wrong cause and let his psychosis determine the outcome of his military life. The only reason why the Allies had a chance was because Hitler had made the same mistake that Napoleon did hundreds of years earlier, he reached Dunkirk I think it was, and decided to attack Russia instead (in winter nonetheless). This mistake seriously damaged hitlers army, and demorilizing the troops. And with this decision, he split his army to create a two-front war in which he's fighting battles from either side. He was stuck in a hostile sandwich, and was eaten alive.

    The allies also "had a chance" because of the vast resources and production power of the United States, not to mention the fact that many of his top scientists fled the country. Hitler also disregarded the advise of his top generals and it got to the point that he simply did not believe (or would not accept) what was being told to him and that people were afraid to bring him bad news. There were many other factors that caused his defeat as well, such as the poor quality of war materials produced by people who were forced into slave labor and starved to death as they attempted to work.

    Because if the Germans HAD succeeded they would have gained control of nearly the entire planet. There would be a global revolution on how things were run (and the world would be under a single government). Therefore, if the germans had won, it would have been a revolutionary war.
