Another expert's take on the war on two fronts:
"A two-front war scenario, almost identical to the first World War would eventually aggregate in the European theatre during World War II, when Nazi Germany confronted allied France, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and later the United States in the west and the Soviet Union to the east.
Adolf Hitler initially attempted to avoid a two-front war as he engaged and crushed his opponents successively. In 1940, however, he failed to beat Great Britain in the air battle and in 1941 attacked the Soviet Union. Great Britain in relative safety on its island remained unbeaten and managed to maintain the western front. Hitler also failed to neutralize Great Britain and avoid a two-front war.
Germany, that lacked the resources for a long war, failed to achieve a quick victory in the east and eventually collapsed under the pressure of a war of attrition on two fronts, accelerated by a surge of resistance and partisan groups in virtually all occupied countries. Reduced production output and dwindling replacements of casualties as a consequence of massive material warfare and Allied strategic bombing and shortages in fuel and raw materials increasingly prevented the continuation of German offensive. And Blitzkrieg tactics. In contrast, steadily improving Allied cooperative warfare, based on an exponentially growing war industry brought about the inevitable total military defeat for Germany".

Posts: 22248Saarland seem to close clubs on Thursday. Also risk for NRW soon, when Bavaria and Saxe already closed. For those who still drink on internet everything is fine in Germany, when Omicron didn't spread yet, but when you know a bit about Bundesliga, should be soon with empty stadiums, no yellow wall. All fine.

No one claimed Germany was fine. I said hospitals are not full and hospitalizations and deaths are not going up proportionately to cases. This peak will not be as bad as the last and the next will be even less severe. Hospitals are not full.
Apparently you trust a reporter's editorial more than direct data reported by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. Maybe you think Europa.eu is part of the bullshit internet?
Hospitals are less full today than they were in February when they were 77% full.

The link I posted talks how restrictions first imposed earlier were extended on 8 November for 30 days. So these restrictions had plenty of time to reduce the number of cases.

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

An armchair expert on Quora:
Hitler wasn't faced with a war on two fronts. He was victorious in continental Europe. France was defeated and Britain confined to her island and incapable of launching a land invasion of France. U-boats were strangling the UK's ability to feed and re-arm. The USA was not in the war and a strong anti war movement existed in that country. Consequently by the end of the summer of 1940 there was no risk to Hitler's western flank. The Germans saw that the USSR was very weak. Its officer corp had been decimated by Stalin's paranoid purges and had been almost defeated by tiny Finland in the Winter War of 1939. Hitler had planned to launch Opperation Babarossa earlier in 1941 but was forced to come to the aid of his ally Mussolini who had got into trouble in his farcical attempt to invade the Balkans. Hitler was forced to postpone the jump off from the begining of May until the end of June 1941 sending units to invade Greece. This delay proved fatal and meant that German forces who got in sight of the towers of the Russian capital but just failed to take Moscow because of the winter snows. This stalling of the invasion allowed Stalin vital breathing space to reorganise and bring up fresh divisions from Siberia.
