Default Re: What was the biggest mistake made during WWII?

Hi Andrew:

I slightly disagree. My candidate would be Germany declaring war on the United States the day after Pearl Harbor. This meant that the US would immediately start supplying Russia which would give it a chance to survive. If that didn't happen, Germany might have won on both fronts.

best wishes,
Mason

Germany declared war on the States because it had information that Japan would invade the Soviet Union from it's Chinese territory, thus opening a two front war for the Russians. Unfortunately for Germany, this was not in the Japanese plans.
