Why was Germany unable to translate tactical and operational success into strategic success during World War 2?
Hitler boosted by previous successes opened more and more fronts, thus overstreching his army.He was a brutal dictator but not a war genius(tactically).
His fate was sealed when he attacked Russia(then The Soviet Union). After initial gains and having advanced up to about 30 km from the capital city Moscow, he was repelled and his army had to back off all the way until Berlin.
As russians were abot 300 meters from his bunker he is quoted as havig asked "are russians so close?". One adjutant answered " richtig Herr Führer( meaning that is right Chancellor). He ordered the adjutant to burn him after his death(he shot his freshly married wife and then himself dead).
Russians found the burnt body of Hitler and took the remains to an undisclosed location in order not to allow neonazis from creating a memorial place.
NB: Had he not attacked Russia, the war would last longer and probably he would have been not defeated.

How did Japanese plan to catch the European colonial powers?
In terms of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy (IJN) was able to achieve both tactical, operational, and strategic surprise. Several factors contributed to this. The Japanese strike force operated under strict radio silence, and sailed to its targets in Hawai'i through an area uncovered by American radar and reconnaissance. The Japanese also attacked on a Sunday, at a time when most of the American servicemen were either sleeping or just waking up, not expecting an attack. Lastly, the US also contributed to its own surprise at Pearl Harbor, both by underestimating Japanese capabilities and overestimating their own security. (They downplayed the results of a mock carrier attack on Pearl Harbor in 1938, and did not believe the Japanese were logistically capable of attacking with so great a force.)
