The aim was not reached, thus it was a failure .
The red army was not difficult to eliminate,it was impossible to eliminate the red army . The SU could not be defeated. By nobody .
Sounds like a nice little fantasy for commies around the world. Nothing and no one is indestructible.
Germany had the strongest army in the world in 1941 and it could not defeat the SU .
Conclusion : no one else could do it .In 1941 the SU was invincible . It was even so in 1945 in a conventional war .
You can't really believe that ljdaw.
Germany didn't have the strongest army (air force and navy included) in 1941, nor did it have the strongest warmaking potential.
The US and the British Empire were the strongest powers in the world. The fact that they could reign with a relatively small standing army, it just proves their efficiency.
The US produced more aircraft than the others combined, and carried the bulk of the burden of the war in industrial terms.
No country or person is invincible. Even if a country is undoubtedly the strongest one, it also has to be stronger than the rest of the world combined, etc. No such thing ever existed. Even the US today is not invincible: it needs allies and international relations to exact its leading position. And the SU didn't even have the strongest army or economy / society in 1941.
But I believe you know all of this already, I am kinda surprised by your point.
"Everything remained theory and hypothesis. On paper, in his plans, in his head, he juggled with Geschwaders and Divisions, while in reality there were really only makeshift squadrons at his disposal."
