Explanation
Hitler was very ambitious. He wanted to achieve his long-term aim of conquering Eastern Europe. For achieving this aim he attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941. This step of Hitler proved to be a historic blunder. By this step, He exposed the German western front to British aerial bombing and the eastern front to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Red Army hounded out the retreating German soldiers until they reached at the heart of Berlin. This incident established Soviet hegemony over the entire Eastern Europe for half a century thereafter.
