Re: What was the biggest mistake made during WWII?
[ QUOTE ]
Biggest mistake for Germany was not fully mobilizing their economy for war. Bar none. If they had, they probably would have won in the east vs. russia without it being very close.

I almost brought this up, and it's widely overlooked. German women were almost never used in industry the way American and British women were, necessitating the use of slave labor, which was very inefficient. A lot of this, again, had to do with Nazi ideology and German attitudes toward women, but it's an important factor that deserves a lot more attention.
