I think the comparison of Germany's failures in WWII shouldn't be made with France's failures in the Napoleonic Wars. [i]It should be Germany's failures in WWI.[/i] Think about it; why did they fail in WWI? They were caught in a two front war with Russia and the rest of the Entente. Why did they fail in WWII? They were caught in a two front war with Russia and the rest of the Allied Powers. And it's not like the Napoleonic Wars, where they were a century old when WWI started, World War One happened two decades before the second one! [i]Hitler even fought in it![/i] And just when he signs a non-aggression pact with Russia, and you'd think he's learned his lesson, what does he do? He attacks Russia not only during one of the coldest winters in Russian history, but also long before he's done with Britain, and we all know how well that turned out for him. He somehow managed to combine the failures of two previous, major wars into one decision. I consider it to be one of the stupidest tactical moves in human history.

Man, I haven't ranted about history in a while. It feels good.
