napoleon was dumb to invade russia

Was the one of the Greats, but should have held up before the winter hit Russia and should have had large flank to the east at Waterloo.

I think the myth buseters should do the myth of nepoleon's buttons. it is said that when napoleon and his troops invaded russia, the troops died off so quickly because their buttons were made of tin and the buttons turned to dust. I have one question though, since napoleon knew about the proporties of tin, and that int would turn to dust in cold weather, why did he make the buttons tin in the first place and why did he march his troops into russia? (refrence napoleon's buttons[yes this is an actual novel])
