Leningrad was besieged for 900 days! What did Hitler ignore that led to the ultimate defeat of the German army?

The reason why the German army failed was because Hitler ignored environmental factors, ignored the use of opportunities, and ignored the determination of Soviet soldiers. The failure of the German army was caused by many reasons, and Leningrad was besieged for 900 days. The front was stretched too long, and Hitler made policy mistakes, which led to the final defeat of the German army. Hitler's willingness for war was too obvious and very radical, which is why it did not end well.

1. First of all, Hitler ignored the tenacious will of the Soviet soldiers

In the early days of Hitler's siege of Leningrad, the residents there may not have been very happy. But Hitler extended the front line to 900 days. At this time, the German soldiers were tired from traveling, but the situation of the residents in the city improved. They endured the severe cold and hunger, and the Soviet soldiers became more and more courageous. Not only were they not intimidated by the German army's momentum, they also encouraged each other and worked together to defend Leningrad. This was something Hitler did not expect, and it was also the reason why the Soviet Union achieved a crucial victory.

2. Secondly, Hitler ignored the use of good opportunities and stopped the army from attacking at the critical moment

The German army had a very large mechanization advantage and had fighter planes. The attack on Leningrad was originally A sure win. But I didn't expect that it would end like this. This is also because when the German tank troops were attacking, Hitler ordered to stop the advance. He was afraid that the German tanks would be annihilated by the Soviet army. It was precisely because of such a wrong decision that the Soviet army had the opportunity to strengthen its defense line. Hitler once again ignored the importance of time.

3. Hitler also ignored the actual situation of the German army. The longer the battle line was stretched, the lower the morale of the soldiers.

During the 900-day siege of Leningrad, many German soldiers were young and wanted to When I want to go home, I no longer have any thoughts on the battlefield. And Leningrad is to protect his homeland, and even has relatives around him. The German army was in a foreign country, not only lonely but also cold. The mentality of the two armies was different. The German army's low morale made it easy to be defeated.
