      He was many things: an evil moron, a sugar addict, but he was not a brilliant military strategist. https://t.co/gYWRn8Cuj2

      Hitler's one major military asset - which, after the traditional fashion of hubris, was also his undoing - was his startling audacity. He imagined possibilities Stalin & the French & his generals couldn't. And from 1941 on, he kept imagining possibilities that weren't there.

          Yep. He had the mindset of the French leadership down cold (maybe because he’d fought them for four years on the ground, who knows?) and the notion that going for broke was worth it. He did not grasp British, US leadership or US/ Soviet resiliency.

          I can't say he was a genius or not. But since he (thankfully) lost, we forget how close he was to winning. If he hadn't made the unforced error with Russia & if Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor, Europe (including Great Britain) was his. England wasn't turning the tide alone.

          his entire concept of virtually every Western country was based on bad German cowboy novels, it just so happened that the French were hilariously underprepared (and Stalin had murdered everyone who knew better)
