Platinum thread.
In my opinion, Hitler was doomed since day 1 of invading Poland.But what were his major mistakes that, if not made, could have led him to victory?

Killing 11 million of his workers.
>inb4 muh six gorillion
Not advancing to Msocow as quickly as possible.
Not liberating the Ukranians and genocidi get them later.
Not coordinating attacks with the japs
Not killing all of the Brits at Dunkirk
Bombing London instead of keeping pressure on the R.A.F

Also I wouldn't say he was doomed at the start of the war, it was winnable but there was no margin for error there.

His war goals were quite insane.
He was basically just a bitchy art-student with a whole lot of silly ideas and little care for practicality.

> In my opinion, Hitler was doomed since day 1 of invading Poland.
Nah. That was still cool.

The problem was dealing with the Allies. Soviets would've never attacked first (USSR expected Germans and Allies to ally against them).

I'd say, declaring Poland non-existent was a bad move.

If Germans would've concentrated attack on Moscow, they would've forced to leave Ukraine unconquered in 1941-42.

> Not liberating the Ukranians and genocidi get them later.
Not an option. Nazism, remember?

>Not advancing to Msocow as quickly as possible
leaves your entire flank exposed to attack by the troops in Ukraine
>Not liberating the Ukranians and genocidi get them later.
agreed, one of the biggest blunders for the germans. They could have so many conscripts if they weren't mass murdering cunts behind the front.
>Not coordinating attacks with the japs
japanese got their ass handed to them by backwards soviet border troops, multiple times. Wouldn't make any difference. Japs were an useless ally.
>Not killing all of the Brits at Dunkirk
Their panzers were exhausted and low on fuel/ammo. Not exactly a blunder
>Bombing London instead of keeping pressure on the R.A.F
Wouldn't make a difference since RAF would still win in the end. (they'd just move their airfield up north in England)

>Failing to secure victories at Leningrad and Stalingrad were the two biggest blunders of the war.
Hands down the two defeats that cost Germany the war.

other blunders
>Declaring war on the United States
Better to just let them pick apart a useless, distant ally like the Japanese Empire instead of letting them lend-lease the Soviet and British war economies back into existence.
>Not properly reinforcing Erwin Rommel
If Germany had driven the allies out of North Africa, it would have left Britain's middle eastern colonies breathlessly exposed and ripe for the taking, which would have gone a long way towards alleviating Germany's chronic problems with oil shortages.
>Operation Barbarossa launched premature
Should have consolidated western Europe before turning east.

>mobilize industry for war early instead of pretending you can annihilate Russia's armies in six months
>don't pretend you can annihilate Russia's armies in six months and outrun your supply lines right into a Russian counterattack and narrowly avoid getting wrecked
>Promise Ukraine liberation instead of conquest, so your supply routes aren't swarming with partisans
>tell italy to go fuck itself with its foreign conquests, but keep defenses because that mountain shit couldn't be better for defensive fighting

Just a few little things that would have improved Germany's chances. Definitely not guaranteed triumph, but at least better execution.

Not invading but mass killing their citizens and targeting elites.

this
North Africa was a shitty side-show that exhausted Axis in Mediterranean. Rommel should have just held a static defensive line in Libya instead of waging an useless doomed offensives.

nothing
he could not win

should have been pleased with his gains in czechoslovakia
