That Nazis were extremely efficient is a myth, which makes sense if you think about how they organized their government/economy. [1][2]

Though they were effective at killing large numbers of (defenseless) people…

Also they didn't lose the war because of some flaw in their ideology, they lost due to manpower and industrial shortages (inflicted by Soviet and Allied militaries) that limited their ability to wage war.

For more, I recommend watching the Hitler Channel (err History Channel). [3]
