Re: What was the biggest mistake made during WWII?
[ QUOTE ]
The Germans made numerous mistakes as well. Engaging in battle with Russians, although it can be viewed as a mistake now, was inevitable. The clash of ideology between Totalitarian Hitler and Communist Stalin was enough to cause that altercation. Furthermore, the German population held a deep resentment towards Russians, as evidenced by their gruesome battle and treatment of POWs.

Yes their ideologies were much different but Stalin had signed a non agression pact with Hitler. Stalin did not want to fight Germany. Stalin didn't even believe Germany had invaded because he took Hitler's word. Once Germany was like 500 miles in he realized he was getting attacked.
