I meant shifting the focus in 1941 to Army Group South and pushing all the way to Baku in 1941. I read recently that archives released by Russia in the 90s are still being researched and show that by Fall '42 some front line Red Army units were approaching starvation, even though they had priority.

Leaving the Red Army without equipment, food, or fuel in 1942 might have meant that the Germans could simply have pushed north and cutoff European Russia from Siberia.

A lot of “what ifs”. Although once the US entered the war, Germany was pretty much doomed. I think had the US not entered, eventually the Japs would have gotten involved and would have forced the Soviets to defend Siberia.
