German Mistakes

• Hitler launched his first invasion of the Soviet union before defeating Britain - big mistake as it meant Germany was fighting war on two fronts.
• • Hitler failed to equip his troops for the cold weather in winter and so many got frostbite and were consequently unable to fight.
  • Messed up Operation Barbarossa by delaying the start date giving Soviet forces extra time to prepare and move their factories toward the west.
• Hitler's army became overstretched

  • He spent money on treating his people, which Stalin did not - Hitler not as ruthless
