"Blitzkrieg" is your answer, thats german for a extremly fast attack, that combined with huge preparations. And germany is not exactly small. We have a extremly dense population.
Another part was the prepared logistics. Hitler ordered to build huge highways to quickly move tanks and supplies from one side of germany to another.
That combined with some extremly highquality and innovative weapons was extremly deadly (A problem however later, because as my grandfather put it, our tanks developed that fast that you practically never have fitting spare parts, oh and most weaponry was tested in the field. It was nothing strange to get new developed things that didn't work at all because noone bothered with testing, as a example: pneumatic powered parts for tanks in russia.... no good idea in that cold, but extremly deadly if used in warm areas)
Germany had always has a extremly powerfull machine industry. Today we usually produce whole facilities (there is a saying, "yes our worthless junk is produced in china, but with german machines")
Althougt a big problem here is that we're dependent on supplies like ore and rawsteel from other countries. That was the whole reason for a "Blitzkrieg", seize ressources before you run out of ressources. The war with russia stopped that.
Germany was nearly unstoppable as long as we had enough supplies, but gladly we run out of it before it was to late.
Same goes for our soldiers. there is only a limited supply of those...

Well, if you learned this part, Stalin let Hitler build up an army in Soviet territory. Then they just bombarded Europe and killed everyone in their path, which is called "blitzkrieg" or "lightning war." Hitler may have been a mean son of a bitch, but he was a smart mofo.

Entirely wrong. The only thing between Hitler and Stalin was a agreement to not attack each other (Hitler later broke it)and how to invade poland. Hitlers other decisions we're usually catastrophic. You could safely say germany loose the war because of his decisions. Without him there would be a good chanche that there would be a peace, after conquering most of europe, however attacking Stalin was suicide. But on a personal remark: Its tricky to say what would have happened. Its good this whole nightmare ended.
Thanks.
