Very much into what if areas now and not ones I'm an expert in but I doubt it would be as easy or clear cut as you present it.
You can say that again.
As for Russia, take away British and American aid - allow Germany to concentrate all her forces on Russia - take away the Bulkan and Greece sideshow that the Brits helped to stage against Italy - causing Hitler to put off his invasion of Russia by at least one entire month - and you have a Russia likely pushed back to the Urals
.
How does that happen? And, 1) there was no US or british aid before Barbarossa, and almost nothing appeared during 1941, b) Barbarossa was also delayed by weathre conditions in the East.
Hitler could have won in Russia anyway, had he just sent winter supplies to his troops.
Oh, why didn't he think of that. Must have been kicking himself when he thought of it in May.
Or, failing that, had he stopped his forces in November 1941and had them dig in and build a fortified line with a defense in depth. This could have withstood what Russia had to throw at the Germans in winter.
How do you know? Do you have any idea how they were to have constructed a fortified line in November? Do you know how the Soviets would have reacted in such a situation?
The following Spring the Germans would have been strong enough to not only cross the Volga near Stalingrad (Avoiding that Verdun to starve it from the east bank of the Volga) but Germany could also have made the short jump to throw Stalin out of Moscow and roll the Russians back to the Urals.
And you've had a really good look at the force relation at that time? And know just how it would have been impacted by what went before? And looked at a map?
Can holes be poked through all my speculations? Sure.
Affirmative.
As anyone knows, battle plans all last until the first bullets are fired. And such speculations are only fictional battle plans.
But I didn't create these topics...
I can only speculate what strange logic is at play here.
