If Hitler would have been as smart as he thought he was, he would have known that Japan was planning an attack against America, and through talking, or threatening them into delaying their grievances toward America bc it was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the USA into a war against Japan and Germany with it all happening simultaneously, and that caused Germany's forces to be stretched to the point more than they could bare. Before Japan's attack against America, America wasn't using every means that we had to create weapons of war in masses, and that was Japan's and Germany's biggest down fall by bringing America into that war. They gravely misunderstood the American might, and the ability to create weapons of war at an alarming rate when America feels threatened or attacked by any country.

It's been said that right now Russia has more nuclear weapons than any country in the world, but what they don't have is the technology that America has to deliver a more devastating nuclear weapons with pinpoint accuracy, and regardless of the devastation that a nuclear war would do to the world, the Americans would have the last man standing even though after a global nuclear war, why would it matter who has the last man standing!!!

Chamberlain and FDR, and even Stalin, let Hitler kinda do his thing and actually trusted him. Nobody wanted war so relatively soon after The Great War (as it was known then). So he walked right into several countries, without even firing a shot, and then conquered some with an overpowering and mostly unopposed military. By the time everyone recognized Hitler's true colors, it was too late - he had established firm footholds throughout Europe and had energized the German population. The people and the military were confident and strong. The navy was dominating the Atlantic with the U-Boats and Hitler's air force was reigning terror down on the UK and the rest of Europe, while his military rewrote many of the rules for modern warfare.

The ineptitude you reference came later and was borne largely of overconfidence and not taking seriously the capabilities and resolve of the allied nations.

Many lessons to be learned by us today. But we won't.
