520    On June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 
       Operation Barbarossa, one of the turning points of World 
       War II. Within six months, the invasion bogged down on the
       outskirts of Moscow, and the Eastern Front proved to be 
       the decisive theater in the defeat of the Third Reich. 
       Ever since, most historians have agreed that this was 
       Hitler's gravest mistake. In Hitler's Great Gamble, James 
       Ellman argues that while Barbarossa was a gamble and 
       perverted by genocidal Nazi ideology, it was not doomed 
       from the start. Rather it represented Hitler's best chance
       to achieve his war aims for Germany which were remarkably 
       similar to those of the Kaiser's government in 1914. Other
       options, such as an invasion of England, or an offensive 
       to seize the oil fields of the Middle East were considered
       and discarded as unlikely to lead to Axis victory. In 
       Ellman's recounting, Barbarossa did not fail because of 
       flaws in the Axis invasion strategy, the size of the USSR,
       or the brutal cold of the Russian winter. Instead, German 
       defeat was due to errors of Nazi diplomacy. Hitler chose 
       not to coordinate his plans with his most militarily 
       powerful allies, Finland and Japan, and ensure the seizure
       of the ports of Murmansk and Vladivostok. Had he done so, 
       Germany might well have succeeded in defeating the Soviet 
       Union and, perhaps, winning World War II.
