Hitler made the same basic mistake that Napolian had made over a hundred years before him by even invading Russia at all. The Germans had not counted on the Russians resisting as they had not in the first world war and the German high command had not even provided winter coats for the troops they were so cock sure of their invasion plan.

As far as the Russians winning the war. The only reason that they did so well is because Hitler had to keep so many troops tied up defending the Atlantic Wall against the forthcoming invasion that occurred on June 6th, 1944 which Stalin had been pressing the Allies to do for more than a year before it actually occurred.


To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.

'That diversion, though, cost him 6 months, and it meant he got to Russia in December, instead of summer.'

History doesn't agree with your statement.....the invasion
began in June instead of May.....which are Summer months
i believe not Winter months....& a delay of 1 month not 6.


"The occupation of Greece by the Axis Powers (Greek: Η Κατοχή, I Katochi, meaning "The Occupation") began in April 1941 after Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany invaded Greece, and lasted until Germany and its satellite Bulgaria withdrew from mainland Greece in October 1944. German garrisons remained in control of Crete and other Aegean islands until after the end of World War II, surrendering to the Allies in May and June 1945."

"Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, which began on 22 June 1941."

"Hitler authorized an invasion of the Soviet Union on 18 December 1940 for a start date of 15 May 1941, but this was not met; instead, the invasion began on 22 June 1941."
