Actually keeping that promise with Japan, at least while he was still fighting an eastern front with Russia is probably the stupidest mistake Hitler made.

I'd have to go with "The Eastern Front" itself being his stupidest mistake. Had Hitler been able to share his sandbox with Stalin things would have worked out very differently but of course that's the problem with megalomaniacs they just can't stand to have another kid in the sandbox no matter how big it is.
