In early 1942, German troops experienced significant victories, particularly in the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa, which began in June 1941. By early 1942, the capture of key cities like Kyiv and the advances into Soviet territory bolstered German morale. Additionally, the successful campaigns in North Africa, including the victories at Tobruk, reinforced the perception of German military superiority. These successes created a sense of optimism among the German forces and leadership regarding the outcome of the war.

The German army's early success in World War I can be attributed to its well-coordinated military strategies, particularly the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed to quickly defeat France before turning to the Eastern Front. The German forces were highly trained and utilized advanced technology, including machine guns and artillery, giving them a tactical advantage. Additionally, their efficient mobilization and logistics allowed for rapid troop movements and surprise attacks, catching many of their opponents off guard. This combination of planning, technology, and execution led to significant early victories for Germany.

In the early years of the 19th century Napoleon's dominance in Europe made it seem impossible to defeat him. However, his many victories were creating major casualties and weakened his grasp on the Continent. 15,000 troops were lost at Eylau and 12,000 at Friedland. Another 23,000 were killed or surrendered at Bailen and Napoleon had massive casualties at Aspern. There the French suffered 44,000 casualties. Another 30,000 casualties were suffered at Wagram. Many of these troops were experienced French veterans and despite Napoleon's victories, they came with a price.
