Have you seen the US army and marines helmets in the Iraq War? They look like Nazi helmets and are shaped like them now. Why do you think that is? Because the US military are the new Nazis? Why did the US copy Nazi style helmets?
I heard that the US military changed their uniforms from dark green to the beige colored ones long before the first Gulf War in 1990, because the involvement in the Middle East was planned by the powers that be long ago.
As to the OP:
If I were Hitler's advisor, I would have made Nazi Germany last a lot longer than they did. I would have advised Hitler:
- Not to invade Russia, but to seek an alliance with Stalin. That way, the Allies would have stood no chance.
- Not to declare war on America after Pearl Harbor. There was nothing to gain in that and everything to lose. It was totally illogical.
- To give his generals more power and autonomy, and not to have to authorize every decision with Hitler. That was a huge mistake. Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of War says that you have to empower your generals and let them do their thing, and not restrict them by requiring them to authorize every decision with you. A good leader finds generals he trusts and lets them make all the decisions. That's what the US and Russia did during WWII. But Hitler did not trust his generals enough to let them make all the decisions. So his response time was too slow. If Hitler had allowed his generals more authority and power in decision making, they could have squashed the D-Day invasion early on, according to the History Channel.
- Have Hitler read Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of War, since he violated many basic principles in it and did not appear to be familiar with it.
