I'd agree with Ron on the Moscow issue. Had the germans taken Moscow, it certainly would have been a major setback for the russians. But Friedrich mentions thier manpower advantage; this would not have been affected by the capture of Moscow. Most of the russian heavy industry was already out of range in the Urals- the government could have moved as well.

Martin, along the same lines as the german FlaK troops- would not the absence of the bombing offensive also have freed up significant allied resources? There would have been more fighter pilots theoretically, or at least there would have been a significant amount of extra resources and manpower available to the allies as well as the germans...
