I always felt had Hitler treated occupied Russia in the same way as he did France, allowing for some autonomy, without terrorizing the population, he would have won in Russia easily. With the war won, he then could have had Carte Blanche to clear out the area for German settlement. A good lesson in war, make it easy for the enemy to surrender.
Agreed. The Whites would have torn the Reds to pieces if they had the Panzers with them. Stupidly, Hitler changed it from an attack on communism to an attack on Mother Russia. No way he wins that one even if he had 20 years.
