4. Hitler's psychic narcissist meltdown

Against all military advice, Hitler forced the German army to die in a losing cause "on behalf of the fatherland" because he viewed Stalingrad as a personal battle between himself and Stalin.

There was no rational reason or military strategy at play. It was extreme narcissism - just a personal grudge match. Stalingrad was the death knell for the German army.

6. You nailed that one.

My father and 4 uncles served in WWII, plus I had a great uncle who was a US Army bird colonel at that time. They told me stories back in the 1960s about how all the fuck-ups by Hitler was the main reason the Allies won that war. Stalingrad was one of his biggest.
