We went to a WWII museum in Ukraine. So interesting seeing the war from their perspective. If Hitler had left the Soviet's alone, he would have won the war. Maybe. But it's a reasonable guess. It all started going bad for them when they decided to invade Russia instead of invading England. Hitler should have learned from Napoleon.

Sorry about getting off topic azvb.
But I don't think the Nazis could have taken the UK, the Luftwaffe, and later their navy, were decisively defeated regardless of what was happening on the eastern front. No naval/air support, no landing. This all happened before the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, they went eastward because they couldn't go west anymore.

I just know he got greedy, and it was a bad idea to mess with Russia. Scary to think what could have happened. I went through a Holocaust museum in Israel and also in Ukraine. I think the one in DC is better, but I sobbed in each of them. I gained a whole new respect for Churchill after going through the war room in London.
