Hi Guys,

A thought that has been rattling around my head recently has been, is there a single reason or choice made by the government, of a nation involved in WW2, that made things worse for them in the war or the war in general. It is very difficult to narrow it all down to one reason or choice that caused a side to lose. Most losers of a war, lost not because of one decision, but because of multiple issue, some small or large that made victory impossible.

A lot of larger ones are frequently discussed in this forum.

1. German Invasion of the USSR.

2. Pearl Harbor.

3. Dunkirk

4. D-Day

5. Starlingrad.

What I would like to do, is get a group opinion on what the member of the AH Forum, believe was the single costliest mistake or choice made in WW2? I would also like to know what you thought was mistakes made by other nations during this time frame.
