Letting the British and French forces escape at Dunkirk and not withdrawing from Leningrad before the northern army got encircled were two of the major mistakes.
Some others are saying they would have just gotten nuked if they stayed in the fight longer. However, there were only two nukes available at the time and we really couldn't make any more plutonium on a realistic time scale. Little boy used uranium, but there were other manufacturing difficulties with that. Also, German airspace was still pretty well defended, so I think the likelihood of success from nuking Germany was lower than Japan. If we didn't nuke Japan, they would have kept fighting further weakening the allied strength.
If rockets like the v2 had been improved, which was possible in a reasonably short period, that could have increased the german chances as well.
Hitler would have to fight the perfect war in order to win and that's impossible without a time machine. He took on the greatest empire humanity has ever seen (British) and basically turned it into a shell of its former self. On top of that he took on the USSR which was willing to throw unlimited bodies into the meat grinder just to stop his advance on Moscow.
Anyone else read that shit about the Uranium bomb's fuel actually coming from Germany because they were very close to nukes as well....w/ the adventures of Prescott Bush and something about smuggling that Uranium because we didn't have enough, and he owned all the ships or some shit. If that was True, had Germany withdrawn from Russia in time things would be very different today.
That doesn't make sense because enriching uranium is the most difficult part, and manpower and resources were germanys weakest points.
There may have been some uranium stolen, but likely far too little in german possesion to build a bomb. Let alone several to test and then drop.
I think german phisysists understood the concept, and german engineers were capable of designing one. But I don't think they had enough time or resources to see it through during an active war.
So the answer is 'no', you didn't read that stuff.

It's pretty funny

He should have thrown everything in the east at Moscow and Moscow alone. Cutting the head off that snake in addition to severing all those rail links would have spelled doom for the Soviets. Particularly if they could have somehow killed Stalin.

LOL. Been tried before and failed. Russian strategy is to retreat east until winter. Germany could not hold Moscow while Russia had the other 99% of the country. Moscow is not a magic plot of land that bestows controlling power.
