Taking Russia was just never in the cards. All it would have happened had he made it past Stalingrad is the lines of battle would have been moved back a couple of hundred miles. Taking Moscow wouldn’t have made any difference. It was taken before, and resulted in nothing more than them falling back.
He was doomed to failure for his mass-murdering ways. His only chance what’s the act like a liberator when he went into Ukraine in Eastern Europe. He may have had people join with him. Instead, he acted like a cop shooting a a rapist in the act. And right when the victim feels they are saved, he starts unbuckling his belt.
No matter what minor successes he would have achieved in the East, he was always doomed to complete failure and would have never conquered all of Russia. Lost Cause thinking always imagine scenarios were Hitler was going to win and conquer the world, but it just simply was not in the cards on the day the War began.
I don’t know about that. Moscow is a rail hub. If it is captured, the Soviet logistics fall to pieces. I don’t claim much expertise in this matter, but that’s how I read the maps.
