It has been written that Adolf Hitler thought he was a military genius. Suppose one of the Boys From Brazil got into playing Call of War. Assuming Senor Hitler is the same person as Der Fuhrer, would Hitler be any good? What strategies would he have?

He wuld go split his armies and try take everything quick like he did in WW2
Hitler may try to develop super weapons, like rockets and nukes. He always had an eye for a technological edge, but in World War 2 he lost interest in a nuclear bomb at some point. nemurator98 ans Uss America have mentioned methods he would use while attacking. I also think Hitler would try to form lots of alliances, and stab everyone in the back.
He would do well until like Day 20 and then he would start to send 2 militia against 4 med tanks on plains and crap like that because he was a God so he could never lose.
Yeah, he would probably use the secret tab a lot, and since it seems a lot easier to buy nukes, he would spam them and maybe win at like 1944 or something.
Well considering that it has been written that Hitler was a pretty decent Meth junkie and was tweaking half the time anyway, my guess is that he would be up for days non stop playing and this is key when playing against other human players. I don't really think that he was much of a battlefield commander, that I would credit to his Generals. He just came up with the plans that they carried out and in that aspect he would probably be good at the game. On the flip though he would only be good for one loss as when the rest of the map comes for him he will retreat to his bunker and chew on some cyanide.
He was a military genius. Problem is he was also a drug riddled ego maniac. Blitzkreig is genius. However, he got into problems when he thought the German peoples destiny was unchallengable. Two front wars... had he just stuck to fighting in Europe until that was finished, then worry about America OR Russia...
Declaring on the Americans with Japan and then the Russians? Foolish meth head!
Adolf Hitler? Military genius?
REALLY?! tell me ONE battle which he led himself, and not his generals...also, USA declared war on germany, not the other way around, Japan is the one to be blamed for that move...as for operation Barbarossa? that's germany's fault
he didnt lead them to war, he put out the plans for his generals to excecute

Actually, sorry Draza, but CharlieSheen's right. Germany did declare war first. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/germany-declares-war-on-the-united-states
well, declaring war to japan is, for me, declaring war to japan allies tooLordVoidVIII wrote:

Actually, Hitler planned an entire company/battalion level action in Italy, I believe in 1944. It might have been a success. I tried to look it up, but i forget the name of the action. Does anyone out there know of this? Hitler could plan small battles to the minutest detail, but knew nothing about commanding Armies. His Generals were frustrated by his ignorance. In Call of War, I'm certain he would disconnect when losing.
Nope, he will quit after they border berlinJuan Bertin wrote:

HAhAHHAHHHAhHAHHAHH XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXdXDXXD ^Honestly I think he would be pretty good. Hes good at steamrolling people, just he may loose because of a lack of allies.

Actually, there was not a lot of enthusiasm for declaring war on Germany in the US. If Germany did not declare war, it is not obvious that the US would have declared war on Germany, at least not immediately. It is likely it would have eventually happened but not nearly so quickly.
This would have likely changed the course of events in both Europe and the Pacific. With US war efforts publicly aimed at Japan and no immediate promise of US forces in Europe, (or Lend Lease to the USSR) it is likely Germany would get further and last longer in Russia. Whether this would actually create a German victory over Russia is a whole different discussion. The character of the Pacific war would also change. The time lag of building the fleet needed to fight Japan would still be there but there would be more pressure for something to happen now. Imagine more small ships, submarines and aircraft operating in a more attrition based combat style. With out a "Europe First" strategy, Japan would not have quite the free run of the board she had historically. What is not obvious is if the US would actually be able to engage any quicker with out the fleet to support that engagement.
Anyway, Hitler committed the stupidity of declaring war on the US, and that was the end of the 3rd Reich.
Hitler did lose by declaring war on America. In hindsight, it was a bad idea. But it was rational. Hitler wanted to divert the US into a two-ocean war. It worked well for 6 to 9 months, then the Germans and Japanese went into an irreversible retreat.
if he only fought America and Britain, then they would have won, but then hitler decided to invade USSR, and truly ruin his chances of winning WW2Juan Bertin wrote:

Minor point.
Hitler invaded Russia before (June '41) before Pearl Harbor (Dec '41).
Japan had already shown it was not willing to support him versus USSR by not engaging in war with USSR before Pearl Harbor.
Hitler should have felt no obligation to engage the US following the Japanese attacking the US.
Declaring war on the US was utter folly for Hitler/Germany. In less than 6 months he had declared war on the USSR and the USA. I can think of no faster path to defeat than that.
Quite right. Winston Churchill was delighted when Hitler rushed into war with America and Russia. Hitler actually did seem to feel obligated to Italy and Japan.
This was at a point when Germany was very irritated about the way the American navy handled the the U-boat blockade of Britain. They were escorting the convoys heading for Britain further and further into the Atlantic, making the time that U-boats could actually attack shipping shorter and shorter, with British navy free to handle only the last few hundred miles.
The declaration after Pearl Harbor was a solidarity thing (even though Japan didn't show much interest in German interests, for example by staying out of the German-USSR conflict which allowed Siberian troops to be relocated to Europe), it was also a short-term thought. When you look at stats of merchant shipping sunk by U-boats, there's a huge spike in the first half of 1942. This was because the U-boats could also sink American shipping now, including areas like the Carribean. US Navy also was unprepared and had trouble implementing the convoy system, German leadership had foreseen this, but had overestimated the effect: they thought they could cripple the American economy in this way, failing to realize that America is a solid continent with most of the economical and transport systems landlocked. Finally, they had contempt for the American army size (which was virtually nil in early 1942), and simply didn't believe (indeed couldn't even comprehend the possibility) that the Americans might field an army of millions in just a few years.
