A good piece in general, but let's not get ridiculous here, shall we?

Hitler's military was at the time the largest in history. A majority of all the living science Nobelists were in Germany.

Hitler swept through most of Europe in a fairly short time, and it was complicated but mostly luck as to why he didn't capture the UK too.

Putin has on the other hand failed to successfully invade even one country.

And then there is the matter of the death camps and the Holocaust....
