Hitler was malding too, like depressed and pissed off that his generals underestimated the soviet resistance.

Not to mention the nightmarish logistical issues that made invasion and occupation of such a large territory extremely arduous.

apparently the main logistics guys actually calculated how barbarossa would go but then their chief buried the report because everyone around him kept going on about the triumph of will and shit

and then the invasion went exactly as the logistics guys predicted it would.

also, gotta love the overall nazi logic of knowing that if they dont win by christmas, they have no path to victory and will lose, and deciding "we'll just win by christmas then! contingency? what's that? we have aryan will!"

It wasn't his generals, Mein Kampf is just hundreds of pages of incoherent racism/anti-semitism + declaring the destiny of Germany to be conquering the weak commie lands and plundering/enslaving them. I believe the paraphrased translation of a quote was that the USSR was a rotten door that would crumble when kicked in. He made the exact same error.
