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.

They were not killed just by starvation and gas chambers, but over-work and shootings.
As well as tortured, terrible medical experiments and not treating diseases.Can i have a brief summary of the Holocaust?
The Holocaust was a tragic event in history. Approximately 6 million lives were lost.
During the first half of the 20th century, the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler, encouraged prejudice against Jews and other "undesirables" such as gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, or physically disabled; those not of the "Aryan" race.
Jewish children soon could not go to schools with the other German children. Jewish businesses were forced to close, Jewish temples were burned and vandalized.
The Nazis also set up ghettos, where Jews (and some Gypsies) were segregated from other people and were forced to live in the most horrible conditions.
The Nazis developed "The Final Solution", a plan to get rid of all the Jews. They decided the most efficient way of doing this was to set up camps to exterminate their existence so they would not pass on their genes and disrupt the Nazis' quest for the perfect race. Though the Nazis did not achieve their goal, they managed to kill 5-6 million Jews (and a further 5 million other victims) in cruel, sadistic, inhumane acts and murders.

Hitler was irrational and also a radical Darwinian. He was pro to the strongest of the fit and he had a table. In that table, Jews were cataloged as the closest to the ape.

Other goals was the establishment of the "Aryan' racial ideal and the eventual mastery of the entire world and elimination of all "Impure" and "defective" people.

How did Hitler capture the Jews?
SS Guards, special killing groups were established to follow the German army and round up Jews and either kill them or send them to work or death camps. Many civilians participated in rounding up Jews and sometimes special incentives were given to those who reported or caught a Jew. Those who helped hide Jews were often afraid of the consequences of helping a Jew and many who did then turned them in, or did face terrible consequences themselves.
AnswerMany, if not most of the Jews, and other minorities or targeted groups (there were many), were rounded up by what only be called planned trickery. That is, a step at a time, requiring they identify themselves on their papers, then publicly (perhaps by wearing a yellow star of David), then requiring they be separated from others in society (also meaning they leave their own area of comfort), then moving them into one area - a ghetto - and then - another step time - while claiming you were relocating them one more time, moving them to death camps.The people that did this were of many sorts, frequently the neighbors and supposed friends of those they were isolating...they were "hired" if you will, by being able to steal the goods of those they were casting out (frequently moving in to the hosues, with all the possesions still there the same day the Jew was sent away), as well as feeling good abput themselves that their problems would end because they were caused by those same people.

Do the ghettos still exist today since the holocaust?
In the traditional European sense of walled districts where Jews were required to reside by law, the answer is no. However, in the looser modern sociological sense of inner city areas urban areas where ethnic minorities tend to live, the answer is of course yes.
The old ghetto in Venice, Italy (dating from about 1550 onwards) is still architecturally intact, though hardly any Jews still live there. It is worth a visit. Ironically, since about 1980 it has become an upscale area!
What are the differences between darfur and holocaust?
although very awful the holocaust was on a much worse scale of genocide because people were tortures for years. The people in Darfur are being killed in a quicker lest torturous method. They are however connected in that it is a fight over religion and being different. The holocaust was an attack against Jews (non-christians) and not being a blond haired blue eyed German. as Germany slowly took rights away from the Jews they then realized that they were the "enemy". In Darfur the attacks are against non Arabians and people who don't believe in the religion known as Islam. So in a sense they are the same but the German attacks were more vicious and much more humiliating for the country afterwards. Even today Germany is still very very humiliated about the attacks on Jews and when Berlin hosted the Olympics in the 80's they did not fly many of the nations flags in the streets.
What did the Nazi's REALLY feed the Jews in concentration camps?
Varied from concentration camp to concentration camp, but they were not feed much, some not at all. Not much to survive, obviously, as they were basically made to work themselves to death. I have also read, from where I cannot remember, that their food was often contaminated (purposely) with a substance that would make them sick and give them diarrhea (which would flush everything out of their bodies, dehydrate them, and causing malnutrition, and eventually death). Not to mention the poor sanitary conditions spelled disease. It's very hard to read these types of things, but it is part of history. People can be very cruel.I read that they have to save their food until the next day.
Why did people sing in world war?
1) British soldiers - it's a long way to tipperary "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a music hall and marching song written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams (Henry James Williams), a song that, allegedly, was written for a 5 shilling bet in Stalybridge, on the 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. It was popularised by the Connaught Rangers as they marched through Boulogne on 13 August 1914, witnessed by Daily Mail correspondent George Curnock, and reported on 18 August 1914. It was then picked up by other soldiers in the British Army. The song is considered somewhat offensive in Ireland since it was the marching song of the Black and Tans 2) British soldiers - pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.. Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile is the full name of a World War I marching song, published in 1915 in London. It was written by George Henry Powell under the pseudonym of "George Asaf", and set to music by his brother Felix Powell.[1] A play presented by the National Theatre recounts how these music hall stars rescued the song from their rejects pile and re-scored it to win a wartime competition for a marching song.[2] It became very popular, boosting British morale despite the horrors of that war, and is best remembered for its chorus:[3]
What was the genocidal destruction of Jews by Nazi Germany during World War 2 called?
holocost
....
Learn how to spell... it's the Holocaust
Why did England ignore Hitler's killing of Jews?
None of the Allies was particulary interested in the Nazi genocide of the Jews, at least until 1944. The U.S. and Soviet governments took the same line; it wasn't something specifically British.
One reason sometimes suggested is that the Allied governments saw 'doing something about it' as a distraction from the war effort.
In late 1942/early 1943 there was in fact some public discussion in the press in Britain about the holocaust and what might be done about it. However, attention turned (or was deflected) elsewhere.
