Hitler was not a stupid man. But it was a bad judgement call for him to invade the Soviet Union -- he thought that Stalin's purges, which decimated the Red Army's officer corps, along with traditional Russian backwardness, would allow a quick win.
If it hadn't been for Churchill's emergency aid in saving Moscow he quite possibly would have won. Without U.S. and British supplies and engineering assets they would never have been a big player even after saving Moscow.
