You are contradicting yourself.
Hitler left orders not to be awakened so he slept in on D-Day. Rommel had left his post. Think that wouldn’t have changed things?
Stalin had dozens of warnings that Hitler planned to invade. What if he’d taken even one seriously?
What if Hitler had let the Army get the glory at Dunkirk and steamrolled the troops on the beach?

You didn’t challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There’s a difference.
Cheers.
