1. Invading Russia, therefore turning it into a two-front war.

2. Invading Russia in winter.

3. Being irrational and telling his Eastern Front commanders to not give an inch of ground willlingly, therefore driving up casualties to an extreme.

4. Stopping his advance towards Moscow to attack Stalingrad just because it had Stalin's name in it.

5. Refusing to have the world's first assault rifle put into production until it was too late to be a factor.

6. Declaring war on us after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. It's not like he had a rep for keeping promises to uphold at that point.
