Putin is making the same mistakes that doomed Hitler when he invaded the Soviet Union
CNN
If Russian President Vladimir Putin had paid more attention to his own country's military history, he may not have attacked Ukraine in the way he did.
Yet Putin is committing some of the same blunders that doomed Germany's 1941 invasion of the USSR -- while using "Hitler-like tricks and tactics" to justify his brutality, military historians and scholars say.
This is the savage irony behind Putin's decision to invade Ukraine that's become clear as the war enters its second month: the Russian leader, who portrays himself as a student of history, is floundering because he hasn't paid enough attention to the lessons of the "Great Patriotic War" he reveres.
