I can think of three in Europe that would need a large army to defeat. My first guess would be Great Britain.

Yeah I had never heard of her until I seen a quick "Olympic" moment kind of thing on TV last week.

Her name was Alice Coachman and she won the GM for the high jump in the '48 Olympics.

My vote is Austria also...I seem to remember something about it being one of his first victories and the resulting peace treaty gave him a bunch of European territory.

Russia it is … Hitler learned zero from Napoleon’s folly with being unprepared for the Russian winter.
