Because the Italians were routed in the Balkans, the Germans had to delay Operation Barbarossa by six weeks. That made all the difference because they couldn’t get to Moscow before the winter.

Greece's small but effective Army and Italian incompetence saved Europe from Nazism. The cold war would have been against the Reich instead of the USSR. Not much difference really.

My theory is that if Hitler took Moscow, Stalin gets deposed and a new non-Bolshevik government takes over and rallies the country to victory.

Probably followed by another Russian Civil War. But that would have been the best-case scenario for us.
