Some of the decisions made by Hitler that were particularly disastrous for Germany include:

1. Invading the Soviet Union: Hitler's decision to invade the Soviet Union in 1941, despite the failure of Napoleon's similar campaign, led to a costly and ultimately unsuccessful war on the Eastern Front. This decision stretched Germany's resources thin and ultimately contributed to their defeat in World War II.

2. Declaring war on the United States: After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hitler made the disastrous decision to declare war on the United States, bringing a powerful new enemy into the conflict and further straining Germany's already overstretched military.

3. The Holocaust: Hitler's policy of genocide against the Jewish people not only led to the deaths of millions of innocent civilians, but also diverted valuable resources and manpower away from the war effort, weakening Germany's position in the long run.

4. Ignoring military advice: Hitler's insistence on micromanaging military strategy and ignoring the advice of his generals led to a number of strategic blunders, such as the failed invasion of the Soviet Union and the costly Battle of Stalingrad.

Overall, Hitler's decisions during his time in power had devastating consequences for Germany, leading to the country's eventual defeat in World War II and the widespread destruction of its infrastructure and economy.

Anschluss refers to the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in 1938. This event was orchestrated by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, and it took place in Austria. The Anschluss occurred on March 12, 1938, and it was a significant event because it violated the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of St. Germain, which had prohibited the union of Austria and Germany. The Anschluss also marked a major step in Hitler's expansionist policies and ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War II.

Although it appeared that America suffered total defeat at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese failed to destroy the ____ which were later able to make combat against Japan only five months later at Midway.
