I agree with you entirely ReM, Hitler´s micromanagement of the war was a godsend for the Allies when you compare it to Stalin who although totally paranoid nevertheless gave his generals free-hand after 1942 and allowed them to reverse the tide.But At the same time without Hitler pushing Germany into a war there would not have been a two-front war and the tens of millions of casualties as nobody in Germany had the charisma or appeal that he had.

Speaking of stupoid decisions that he made you can add coming to the rescue of Mussolini in North Afrika and Greece in 1941 which cost a fatal delay to Unternehmen Barbarossa and tied up /bogged down German forces in Lybia and the Balkans instead of being used against the Soviets or British somewhere else...
