World War II German Army Stickman Sprites (W.I.P.)

Instructions

The instructions are already in the project. These are historically-accurate sprites that are made by me. If you have more ideas on which units to add next, you can always tell me in the comments, and I will add them as soon as I can. This project is NOT meant to promote fascism, and is for historical purposes only. The second world war began with Germany's conquest of many European countries using its powerful and almost-unstoppable army, and its fast and effective blitzkrieg tactics (lightning war strategy). The Wehrmacht (Armed Forces) was divided into three categories: the Heer (Army), the Luftwaffe (Air Force), and the Kriegsmarine (Navy). The Heer was the biggest branch of them all, and therefore the most important, due to its power. Without it, Germany would never have taken over all those countries. Germany's land forces were seen as exceedingly powerful compared to those of other nations, especially the panzers (tanks). The Soviet Red Army had an equally powerful army, but with brave and courageous infantry troops as its main force instead of tanks. The U.S. and British Army both had a good navy and air force for both marine and aerial combat, and a decent army to support amphibious and airborne landings. Although the German Army didn't last for long, only for twelve years, from 1933-1945 until the fall of the Third Reich, it's power makes the mighty Roman Army from the ancient times look like a joke. With its panzers and infanterie, the Heer could easily defeat the Soviet Army or the U.S. Army if it fought them one-to-one. The reason Germany failed the second world war was because it was fighting both the U.S. and the Soviets at the same time, which destroyed the country's economy and alliances. Germany's greatest mistake was declaring war on the U.S. in December 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, when it was already in a six-month-long conflict with the Soviet Union. It would cost them the war. However, even when the Roman Army took over almost all of Europe, internal corruption and lack of border troops made it vulnerable to attacks. It was almost the same for the Third Reich almost two thousand years later. A series of both intentional and unintentional mistakes made by Germany forced the U.S. Army and Soviet Army to put aside their differences and form an uneasy alliance to fight against Germany, and ultimately end the war that costed millions of innocent lives.
