Hitler's Biggest Blunder

The Rise of the Nazi Party

After invading Russia in June 1941, Hitler makes his biggest error of the war in the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The Nazis suffer a series of reverses at Stalingrad, in North Africa and Italy, and in the round-the-clock bombing of their cities by U.S. and British air forces. No amount of Goebbels's propaganda can convince Germans they are still winning.
