We would have won!!!

That is precisely my point: if Moscow was taken and reinforced all the Eastern front would have been secured as well as all the most important strategic level-general situation. Then, our tactics and technology could have smashed the rest of our enemies. But just then. We must remember that wars are won or lost because of strategy, not because of tactics, and technology is a tactic.
