Answer The military mistake that they both had in common was they tried to conquer Russia. Both did not realize the magnitude of this objective. Russia is a vast area and the troops could not live off of the land. So the logisticallines were extremely long. Most accounts say the Russian winter was the main obstacle. However, when Napoleon started out his campaign, the summer contributed to the loss of many of his horses.

What was Hitlers name?

Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria--Hungary, the fourth of Alois and Klara Hitler's six children.

Why was the bombing of London seen as both strategic and tactical error?

The bombing of London was both a strategic and tactical error because it served no military purpose. It achieved no military advantage as military bases, troops and equipment were located elsewhere. It didn't prevent Great Britain from sending more supplies and troops to the front. It failed to lower the moral of the population. Its main achievement was as propaganda press releases to the German population and to spur the British Government in to creating larger strikes themselves on German targets
