@Spookaswa Stalin was he lynchpin, without him the leadership would disintegrate because he had terrorized everyone for so long
In fact much of the war showed how the Red Army fought well without Stalin's interference
this is a complete non-point not only because of USSR would've kept going even if they got to Stalin, but also because Stalin wouldn't ever have stayed in Moscow to face certain death
Moscow isn't to USSR in 1941 what Berlin is to Germany in 1945
Moscow would have been Stalingrad in 1941, at the center of the soviet supply grid, with no Volga to block soviet reinforcements
It would have been a slaughterhouse for germans
> Stalin was he lynchpin, without him the leadership would disintegrate because he had terrorized everyone for so long
except no, not at all true. If this was true, USSR would've collapsed in 1954. You demonstrate insufficient knowledge in the Soviet political life if you think this was the case.
Yeah Germans were always going to lose the war
if for no other reason, then for the depth of defense in USSR and the resource/oil angle
@Xinyue Russia wasn't at war in 1954 you dumb knee grow
It hadn't just gone through the purges
USSR was in war when majority of the Western part of the Union collapsed. But the USSR never collapsed during this, seemingly inevitable defeat, like the French did
again
you don't get Soviets
1991 would disagree

....that has no relevance to this
The German high command expected a war similar to France where they could take points of strategic importance and have their enemy capitulate, not the war of attrition at such a massive scale that they got
Yeah
and the resource angle is devastating for the German side
they were literally running out of oil
and Stalingrad evaporated all possibility of ever getting more
>oil meme
That’s why they should have never gone after Moscow and kept driving into the Caucasus
>what was romania
> oil meme
literally is fact about how the USSR won the war
Romania wouldn't be enough
Lol
The Allies won the war*
Other countries contributed to
Including the French resistance and polish resistance
Just because Romania had oil doesn’t mean it could supply the entire Wehrmacht lol
You would need to take British and French colonies in the Middle East in order to not worry about the oil issue, for a few years at least
What did the Wehrmacht fucking run on before 1941
Thin air?
They ran on Oil
