the first attacks were on land the Soviets had just stolen from Poland
And where did Germany attack from? Was it from land they had just stolen from Poland? I’m criticizing operation Barbarossa which was a planned genocide.
Hitler's handling of WWII can be criticized. In hindsight, there likely were ways for him to win but he lost.
Ultimately, the USSR needed to be attacked and dismantled. Many Americans realized this also after WWII with Generally Patton famously writing that they attacked the wrong enemy (meaning he thought the USSR was worse than the Nazis and the USSR should have been the target). The cold war basically proves this.
Hitler realized the USSR threat and attempted to thwart it but it was a tactical/strategic error.
