The biggest issue was the German high command's tendency to try to micromanage the war. Instead of letting the competent field officers fight the war as necessary, they dictated all kinds of orders and limitations. Case in point: The high command refused to release control of armored units to local commanders during the D-day landings because they were convinced it was a diversion.

there have been maximum of blunders on the two sides that choosing one especially others is perplexing. whether, whilst one considers that on the time Germany advance right into a rustic of roughly 80 million people, carrying out a conflict coverage that ultimately engaged america (one hundred forty million), the Soviet Union (one hundred eighty million), and vast Britain (fifty 5 million) seems a sprint overly advantageous.

Quite clearly Hitler's anti-communist crusade was doomed from the beginning as it was the Soviets who defeated him. So i would say breaking the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was the mistake, even though quite clearly it was designed to be broken.
Don't let them confuse you. Hitler, like every postwar US president, came to power on an anti-communist platform. The similarities don't stop there.

They invaded Poland in 1939. This was the beginning of the end for the Third Reich.

They went in opposite directions, which meant they took on more than they could chew...
This became their downfall (thank goodness!)
