Both Napoleon and Hitler thought they would easily invade and conquer Russia. Both failed to appreciate the vastness and distances involved, which made supplying the front lines difficult the deeper they penetrated. Neither dictators appreciated the stoic defence of their country the Russian people were prepared to perform. In each case, as the Russians fell back, destroying any property and food the advancing invaders could use, the notorious Russian winter struck. Both the French and later the Germans suffered badly. They were unable to withstand the Russian counter-attacks. The Russian forces were able to function despite the weather.

They were both beaten by the Russian winter.
First of all, Hitler was a tyrant. A horrible dictator who suppressed his own country--much like Saddam. He ordered the slayings of millions of people--like Saddam. President Bush had NO choice!
The Invasion of Poland was from 1 September - 6 October 1939
The code name for this invasion was Operation Barbarossa.

The invasion of the Soviet Union was delayed because of issues in the Balkans. The failure of Mussolinis invasion of Greece exposed Hitlers flank to British air bases. Also there was a perceived problem with gasoline to fuel the German armored divisions.
