In my gifted class, we are having debates between different WWII icons. I was made Adolf Hitler. The person who is Stalin and I are having a debate on who's military strategies were better.

The resolution is: Joseph Stalin's military strategies were better than Adolf Hitler's. Of course I am on the negative side of the resolution, so I need help on my statement (why I disagree with the resolution).

I have NEVER done a debate before, so PLEASE HELP!
 
Hitler managed to build up Germany's army and air force, etc, without much trouble after the defeat of WWI. He used "Bilitzkrieg"- (sp?)- quick shock attacks that defeated the enemy with a mass of tanks and air strikes, I guess he deserves some credit for that..
 
You could make the argument that Hitler's strategies were better, but his generals were inferior becasue they didn't adequately equip his armies with winter clothing during the winter campaign in Russia. The Germans were beaten by the weather, not the Russian armies? That may have been what Hitler would have said because he was constantly complaining that his Generals did not properly carry out his orders.
