Bad location
As it turns out, when you have insane foreign policy goals, it's difficult to find allies.

>Allying can't into war italian retards
Mussolini pushed the Rome-Berlin Axis agreement and Hitler agreed because
a) both Germany and Italy essentially had the same goals of expansion / subjugation of enemies around them
b) it would be another front for France to defend
c) it would be another enemy for the Allies to fight and Mussolini seemed stubborn enough to send all his troops to die en-masse (although the faggot later didn't join the war until June 1940 following the fall of France, the useless opportunist he was)
>Allying ching chongs 9,000 km far.
The Japanese were very capable fighters. They had proven themselves against the Russians way back in 1904. Hitler would've then assumed they'd kick the Soviets' ass in a similar fashion.

If the Ching Chongs did attack Russia, Stalin wouldn't have been able to bring in the fresh siberian veterans that were instrumental in the battle of Moscow.

Yet they were horribly rekt in Soviet/Japanese border wars.

Well the Adolf dun goofed because the Soviets had spanked the Japanese extremely hard just a year before Germany and Japan expanded upon the anticomintern pact by the tripartite pact...

And yet they didn't. They couldn't get over their autistic ideal of controlling the whole Pacific, lol. Hitler got unlucky
>>272501
That is largely a myth, the "Siberian" divisions were in no way instrumental in the battle of Moscow.

He pissed off most of the countries that were actually useful allies to him.
Like, you know, the USSR, who provided him with a lot of his early oil, food, and training for the Wehrmacht.

>had grown by about 50 % (!!!) in the east
Wait, I spoke too soon, the Soviet forces in the far eastern theater almost doubled in that timeframe - from 703,714 at the time of Barb. to 1,343,307 men as of Dec 1. Holy shit.
>>272529
To be fair though (and not either of the guys you're responding to), the Soviets did transfer a lot of the divisions that participated in Khalkin Gol and had actual combat experience to Vyzama, and replaced them with newly raised formations who probably wouldn't have performed as well.
So there's that.

Which was remarkably magnanimous of him considering that they had agreed to start the war in 1942. No wonder Italy was so unprepared.

>war on two fronts in the exact same way Napoleon failed
Literally the only similarity between Napoleon's and Hitler's attack is that they started it while at war with half the fucking world on the opposite front.
