Germany invading the Soviet Union during WW2.


Absent Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes holding back his cavalry at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 or something bizarre like that, it is hard to imagine anything more stupid than than Hitler invading Russia.

Hitler was the savior of the German people. Germans of the day recalled the 4 year blood bath 1914-1918. Hitler had his army slice through the Frogs to decisive victory in 10 weeks. If he had done nothing else he would have had adulation and wealth galore. By that time, he had Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, the Balkans, the Low Countries and France. No way could the US and Great Britain hope to force him out of France less him sending 80% of his army into Russia.
