Why Germans never opposed resistance to the Allied occupation of Germany? Why didn't they create partisan militias after WW2?
>>
Because Nazi Germany was an utter failure and ever German realized that by 1945
>>
Because you can only resist so much when most young men are either dead or in captivity. Also, there was no chance that the Allies could have been defeated so any further resistance was pointless.

Germans like to follow orders.
>>
>>1221774
War weariness, lack of able bodied men, the fact that they were completely dependent on the Allies to not starve by that point.
>>
People forget or just don't know how fucking bloody the last period of the war was in the East. Seriously, that shit was like some medieval-tier brutality.

German willpower was sucked out of the populace after nearly a million men KIA in the East in less than half a year and East Prussian villages and cities were BTFO. The Wehrmacht/Waffen-SS were literally throwing men at T-34s like the Soviets did in the early stages of Barbarossa.

Their defense of Germany was their resistance, at least that's how the civilians saw it. That WWI more or less avoided German soil made fighting for it in 1944 an almost patriotic duty.

It wasn't done for Hitler, many fought for the same reason the Nero Decree was ignored, to save some semblance of their homeland after a war they already knew was lost.

German forces as of Jan. 1945:

East: 1,338,000 (60%).
West: 892,000 (40%).
Total: 2,230,000.

1945 Winter Campaign losses:

East: 500,000 or 37%
West: 325,000 or 36%

Casualties in the west were just lads surrendering for a hot meal.
>>
Im honestly surprised at how a country that lost millions of men in two consecutive world wars still had any men left once it was all over.

was it all thanks to the rape babies?

What is "The Battle of the Bulge?"

Counting winter 1945 losses isn't fair for comparing the fronts when the Krauts were getting BTFO on all three of them.
>>
>>1222623

But one should also consider the Eastern front was three times as long. If someone was autistic enough they could make a casualty per mile stat.

>>1222701
for 1945 german losses, 400 men per kilometre of front, rough estimate.
>>
>>1221774
by that point most of the food coming into Germany was provided by the allies. They knew that if they tried to resist, most people would starve to death in weeks.

that's one of the more practical ones on top of weariness and people just wanting to make sure that no more of their family members had to die.
