Who invented the forst type of note?

The first type of banknote is attributed to the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), but it was during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) that they became widely used. These early notes, known as "jiaozi," were created to facilitate trade and reduce the need for carrying heavy coins. The concept of paper currency later spread to other parts of the world, influencing modern banking systems.


Did Hitler's decisions contribute heavily to the failure of the German army in the East and if so what were some of his crucial mistakes?

Yes his decision affected the outcome. There is al ot of things he did, example he wanted a 3 pronged assualt agaisnt the ussr. historians say this was his forst mistake splitting up his forces. taking away units from the army groups and moving them to the other army groups resulting in the army groups failing to capture there objectives. His refusal to let his amrys retreat to winter postions during winter 1940 his refuesal to give the order to let the Germans 6th army pull out of Stalingrad probly a lot more but there main ones. The best book I've seen on this subject are the memoirs of Field Marshal von Manstein. Very thorough at the tactical level. He was present and personally involved on the southern part of the Eastern Front, and recounts his recommendations to the General Staff and his own meetings with Hitler. Personally, I believe one of the most crucial mistakes on the Eastern Front was never cutting the main Soviet supply line -- the one rail line from the Arctic Ocean port (Murmansk) from which an enormous, unprecedented volume of FDR's war materials (planes, guns) flowed into the Soviet armies in a logistical tidal wave that the Germans could never match. From a military standpoint, it seems entirely feasible that the Germans could have cut it -- or at least disrupted it off and on on a permanent basis. (They got very close.) Why this was never done is a wonder, but one German veteran has written that the reason was political: FDR had sent some kind of warning in diplomatic channels -- to the Finns? to von Ribbentrop? to someone else? -- since it's hardly believable that Hitler himself would have been intimidated or limited by any threats from FDR!
