Why the ancient Hitler? Well, because even though Hitler and Napoleon did not follow exactly the same policies, they did commit the same mistakes in war. Hitler also attacked Russia, and opened up a two front war which gave an advantage to the allies during World War two. Hitler’s armies also had no supplies to survive general winter and general mud in Russia, so they had to retreat. Both Napoleon and Hitler tried to unite Europe, and both followed a type of Blitzkrieg tactic in war. Clearly Hitler and Napoleon were two different persons in different times, yet they wanted to accomplish many of the same things, and they made several of the same mistakes. Basically, if you are trying to take over Europe, never go after Russia!

haha, this is very true. I never thought about the two being identical in these ways. It is a quite interesting thing to read, and also pretty entertaining.
