There were many blunders on the part of the Germans that lost them the war.

1. The panzers were stopped before reaching Dunkirk, allowing the BEF to escape. The bombing of RAF airfields and radar stations was stopped at a point where they were nearly brought to their knees in Sept '40.

2.the Hitlerites Started Operation Barbarossa too late in the year (1941), by the time they reached Moscow, the coldest winter in years hit and the Werhmact was totally unprepared.

3. Guderian's Panzers were diverted south at the gates to Moscow in 1941.

4. Again in 1942, the Germans made the fatal mistake of splitting Army Group South in two culminating in the debacle at Stalingrad and the failure to reach to Caucasus oil fields.

5. The Soviets were into a mindset of ordering important and troop saving withdrawals. At Stalingrad the Germans lost 25% of their entire operational strength in the Eastern Front, a heavy blow by all accounts but NOT decisive. It would however be the main factor for Germany's not being able to complete the conquest of Russia.

6. The Germans blew another chance during their offensive in the summer of 1943. Against Guderian's opinion that the production of Tiger and Panther tanks should be up to operational standards, Hitler launched the ill fated offensive at Kursk. The results being the destruction of the panzer armies. The fact that the German still had the capability to launch an offensive of this magnitude in 1943 proves that Stalingrad was not a decisive turning point in the war. From then on, it was just a delaying tactical war against the Red Army.

7. Hitler made the mistake of diverting resources to multiple designs, rather than picking the best and staying with it... example is the multiple tank designs. Another was the debate on developing the jet as a bomber rather than a fighter. The debate resulted in a one year lapse in development. By the time it was decided to focus on jet fighters, the war was nearly over. Air superiority could've been won by the Germans in early 1944....

At any rate, the germans had many chances to win WW2.....
