You're doing excellent work.
The whole thing can be quite ponderous, presenting short and snappy highlights makes it more approachable to the casual reader.

I'm going to resume reading this again. It was kinda difficult to reach through the translated version without first digging into the historical context of Germany
There is a good copy I believe called the Dalton edition... Its newer but its much better and is not anti Hitler. Also has tons of good footnotes for context.
All they had to do is stop their massive invasions everywhere and consolidate what they had already captured (china, indonesia, lots of pacific islands, etc). Instead they needed more and more oil to train more and more soldiers to invade more and more countries. This led to them attacking pearl harbor and losing almost everything. Japan should have been wiped from the map. Build enough nukes for every single japanese cities and nuke them all in one day. Turn it into a radioactive wasteland THEN place ships around it to prevent any escape. Thats it, japan erased.
