This video is about how Hitler attacked Russia. Attacking Russia was not such a good idea, It was in the winter too. The 1000 year Reich could have been possible if he did not try to invade Russia. Fighting Russia is one thing, but fighting Russia in the Winter is completely different. Soldiers fighting in the cold is harsh and it is very cold in the winter in Russia.

As Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany, he uses his power to start the Nazi revolution by establishing himself as a dictator. As his first day of Chancellor he manipulates his way around high officials to have new elections so more people could support him. He changes the traditional army with his own kind of army; storm troopers. Some generals loose their power in this process.
