You need to study the war a little more deeply and understand the idea of Lebensraum.

I posted that the war against the Soviet Union was a major error for Germany, perhaps the most decicive one, alongside with Germany's decision to declare war against the United States, as soon as Germany's Axis partner, Japan, found itself at war with the USA.

I acknowledged already that for ideological reasons, and since this was Hitler's war, more than anyone's, the war with Russia was a military folly, which should have been avoided by Germany -- but probably inevitable.

The fact that Germany didn't finish the job meant that the Russian campaign was probably doomed from the start, but nearly succeeded anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]The fact that job was not finished is what signifies what the job was doomed from the start? No, that's STROT.

The war against the USSR was, for Germany, a military folly. Germany was a dog to win it - and if Germany had won that campaign (by some miracle), that would NOT have made her the favorite retroactively...

Still the definitive single-volume book on WWII:

Any serious student of the war needs to read this book, or you aren't a serious student.
