because he wanted to own more than napoleon so he decided that he would succeed where napoleon failed in russia by making basically the same mistakes

also if you arent The Mongols don't invade Russia. esp during the winter.

Genghis Khan owned, but his son/successor Ogedei was nearly as awesome. I believe he was an alcoholic and decided he'd curb his drinking by limiting himself to a certain number of cups a day, but then had special gigantic cups made to make up for it.

heres how ww2 SHOULD have ended...

the kaiser (remember him??) shows up and reveals he didnt die but was in the german hyperbaric time chamber w/ frederick barbarossa. he reveals that to defeat the russia they need to find lenin's grandson and send him on a train to moscow. this causes russia to have a shadow anti-communist revolution which allows germany to easily defeat themm.. just in time to respond to the double threat of the americans invading france.. and a revived ottoman empire attacking from the south, now led by T.E. Lawrence (from ww1)

it's actually fairly shocking just how close germany was to defeating russia. if the weather hadn't been unseasonably cold early in 1941/1942, or if the germans had properly fit their soldiers for winter war, the war might have been over in 1942.

Also, if Russia were a normal country, they would have surrendered. Instead, more blood for the blood god!

you need to read more books op: http://nstarikov.ru/books/45533

quote:

This book will tell you who stirred Hitler into his suicidal decision to attack Stalin.

It will tell you who were the real godfathers of the worst catastrophe in the history of Russia that went off on June 22, 1941. You will learn who gave money to Hitler and his party, helping the Nazi to power. Revealed in this book is the real reason behind the Nazi regime — aggression against the USSR to correct a previous blunder of Western intelligence that had led to Bolshevism in Russia. Instead of quietly disappearing with their loot, Lenin and his crew remained in the country and pieced it together into a global superpower, refusing to give it over to the West. Abundant evidence cited in this book helps trace the whole logic of events starting from September 1919 up to June 1941. The reader will emerge enlightened about who were the true preachers and masterminds of World War II, and who must share responsibility with the Nazi for their hideous crimes.

Why did Adolf Hitler undertake the suicidal step of attacking Russia? This question yet remains without a good answer.

The new book by Nikolai Starikov, author of the bestselling Cherchez la… Oil, ‘Russian’ Revolution Revealed, and Who Finances Russia’s Collapse: From Decembrists to Islamic Radicals, will pluck the veil off the major mystery of World War II.
  • Who sponsored Hitler and his party?
  • Why may Leon Trotsky be called the father of German Nazism?
  • Who financed the rapid amassment of the German army?
  • Why did German war planes fly with British engines?
  • Why did the West cede Austria and Czechoslovakia to Hitler?
  • Why do the Anglo-Saxon nations hate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact?
  • Why did Britain and France never stir a finger to help Poland?
  • Why did the leader of the Nazi Germany postpone the French campaign as many as twenty times?
  • What did Rudolf Hess bring with him to England, and why did he ‘hang himself’ at the age of 92?
These and other questions have their replies in this book, from which you will learn who made Hitler attack the USSR on June 22, 1941.

There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
Russia is enormous, and German armies were burning fuel going at max speed at the end of their supplylines. They could not push harder than they were already pushing, and they all got bogged down in Stalingrad. Hitler had hyped the communists and the russians as the worst threat to German existence, so of course he had to keep his promise sometime. Germany also had to attack sooner, rather than later bcoz of Russian industry gearing up immensely, outstripping any german advantage.
All in all germany had basically no chance, especially not with Russia receiving Lend lease.
