Hitler's ghost ruminates for 15 years on his mistakes and circa 1960 puts pen to paper in a book entitled "How I Would Do it Differently if I Could Do it All Over Again." In his book, Hitler devotes one chapter to each of his major mistakes. List the chapter titles and include a short, one sentence synopsis of what each chapter is about.
Here's my list to get us started:
Chapter 1 Prewar Preparation - fewer battleships, more submarines and maritime strike aircraft
Chapter 2 The Phony War - very few mistakes here, fewer naval losses in the Norway Campaign would have been nice
Chapter 3 The French Campaign - first big mistake of the war was letting the BEF escape at Dunkirk
Chapter 4 The Battle of Britain - did this even have to be fought? If yes, stick to one strategy
Chapter 5 Keep Developing New Weapons
Chapter 6 North Africa - deploy more airpower to the Mediterranean, capture Malta, sink the Royal Navy
Chapter 7 The Balkans Campaign - finish the job before moving on/ Why capture Crete if you're not going to use it?
Chapter 8 Barbarosa - set realistic objectives and stick to them
Chapter 9 Stalingrad - better to destroy enemy armies than to capture his cities
Chapter 10 Kursk - better to attack sooner rather than let your enemy prepare
Chapter 11 Mobile Defenses are Better Than Fixed Defenses
Chapter 12 The Bombing Campaigns - never lose control of the air
Chapter 13 D-Day - early to bed and early to rise... or the value of delegation
Chapter 14 The Battle of the Bulge - maybe these forces should have been used elsewhere
Chapter 15 The Bunker - the Alps are lovely in the spring
So what are your chapter titles?
