I wholeheartedly hope you are confused. Because you have just exemplified just how bad of a tactician he was.

*UNSNIP* Hitler himself was a genius in the way he used the Blitzkreig to take most of Western Europe, and the Allied success at Normandy was the fault of generals, not Der Fuhrer himself.

Really, just how many Blitzkreigs did he lead? 0, Zero, Null, Naughta, Nein! It was his Generals. And thank goodness there was success at Normandy.

Instead of driving into Russia, Hitler should have driven into the Middle East, or Saudi Arabia. The treaty with Russia would have lasted, and by strengthening the Italian and Nazi troops already in northern Africa and by using a two-pronged attack to drive into the Saudi country, he could have obtained endless amounts of oil to fuel his war machine, and easily crushed the British, then dealt with the Russians.

Again you have proven his inability to be a tactician, for this surely would have been the tactical outcome.

The acts he had conducted, the atrocities he had commited, all speak and reek of evil.
