Hitler was an idiot to invade Russia or he was intentionally destroying Germany. Russia is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar to vast and did not have sufficient supply lines. They would have done MUCH better to let Russia come to Germany, which they would have, and deal with the distance and supply line problems.

It's been a while but I think the Germans needed certain supplies that they could only find in Russia, to the point it was the only way they could win the war. But my memory is kind of hazy.

Yeah, no one can just beat General Winter.

Stalin was going to take over Europe, no doubt about that. Germany was used as buffer that was then turned on. Hitler and his army commanders made idiotic mistakes, there's no doubt about that.
