"The evidence suggests that Putin thought he could win a quick victory with the deployment of special forces and airborne units," says Ian Ona Johnson, a professor of military history at the University of Notre Dame. "So when they were forced to go to a much more traditional war involving essentially most of the Russian army along the Ukrainian border, they weren't prepared for some of the logistics."
Well there is one significant difference. Once Hitler, y"sh, got tired of fighting in Russia and ordered the retreat, he had to deal with the Russians following him back to Berlin. Putin doesn't have to worry that the Ukrainians, having humiliated Russia on their turf, will start marching in Moscow.
