Did Slavery destroy Africa?

[javaguru]

Not to quibble but shouldn't this question be about sub-Saharan Africa?

I don't think Ethopia is anything wonderful, and I'd prefer to stay out of Algiera until - well forever.
Oh, you're refering to the slavery aspects of Africa - my bad.
Is the Suddan considered sub Saharan?

The European Atlantic slave trade was sub Sahara Africa.... slave trading existed in all parts of Africa for thousands of years before the Europeans colonized Africa.

Hitler's whole point of the hostilities was to subjugate the eastern slavs or whatever and create expansion territory for the third reich to the east
as I said before Hitler desired a separate peace with Britain
he had respect for the British

He also hated the Slavs. They were "subhuman". I believe he changed his point of attack a few times...wanting to go for the oil fields, then switching to Stalingrad for the symbolic victory, and generally not doing what his generals told him to. Also, Russia was producing T-34's one after the other. A very good tank that was easily manufactured. Winter set and fucked the Germans. Then they had to worry about the other front.

much maligned Hitler made a few correct calls early in the war
he went with manstein's and guderian's gutsy ardennes route plan of attacke for france
he called the norway gamble
his decision to hold fast in front of moscow in the face of the soviet wintercounterattack proved to be worth taking the losses

air power trumps surface fleets
google force Z

and how were they're plans gonna refuel/rearm/make repairs?
how few air craft carriers did the german navy have??? i don't think any.
i don't see how the luffawaffe coulda left the mainland, outside of strafing england...but even then, how could they stop england's massive naval trading/military force when they could get outta reach?

They would only need a local air superiority to cross the channel and that was well within the capability of the Luftwaffe.

what germany needed to accomplish amphibiously (i.e. cross the channel) was within landbased air cover
divide you entire u-boat fleet by two and put each half at each entrance to the english channel
the royal navy would have to enter a hornet's nest of stuka dive bombers
