I mean it was obviously his invasion of Russia. He attacked first because he knew it was only a matter of time before the Russians came for him again. Hitler's mistake.
If both Napoleon and Hitler chose to defend against the Russians the fighting would have taken place in Poland. The Russians could have been bled on foreign soil, then surrounded and destroyed piecemeal and pushed back and then they would offer terms. This worked once albeit too late in WW1.
Once the German states and other principalities saw what happened in Russia they all rose and turned against him and he was finally defeated at Leipzig and chased back to France.
So yeah, let the Russians attack first because they are so terrible at it.
