Re: Worst military mistakes.
Hitler's biggest mistake was engaging stalingrad... he should have spearheaded for the oil fields like he planned in the firstplace... if he took stalingrad he would have just made the russian resolve stronger. his second biggest mistake was allowing the 6th army to be surrounded, and not letting them retreat. Of course he was completely barmy by this point in the war (YES there was a time when he wasnt such a raving lunatic!)
also i thought i might aswell say it, being a soldier n all...

Re : Worst military mistakes.
La "drôle de guerre" in 1939-40 was an horrendous mistake. France and UK had the resources and the manpower to crush Germany early on, thus ending the not-yet-worldwide-WWII, yet the inapt military leaders decided to wait for the opponent after launching a few attacks there and there.
