it is easy for us to sit here and pick apart the war. honestly, given the time period and how ignorant EVERYONE was, i think he did the best he could. he was up against alot of opposition from all sides, and especially from within. I wonder how many of those mistakes were actually his to bear, when he went out of his way to appease everyone in and out of his ranks. was he perfect? of course not, but all things considered, he should of focused on one thing at a time. killing stalin should have been number one priority. also, sending the jews to their new home turned out to be a huge mistake as well. i also think that he should have placed more attention to the mind of america. had most people in the states been aware of what was really going on, things might have been very different. america was more brainwashed then than they are now. just a thought
