Well, read the Moscow thread (there are several...) and we can discuss it there. Let's not hi-jack this thread, right?

The fall of Moscow to Von Bock in 1941, with all the men power and resources used if the Western front would have been absolutely quiet would have meant a tremendous hit for the Soviets. The strategic level of the German positions would have been absolutely excellent. In 1942, there could be launched an aerial offensive against the Urals and other kind of offensives, perhaps not very decisive, but they would have been able to stop ANY Soviet counter attack and the entire Western Soviet Union could have been ocupied and swept easily. The remains of Russia would have had to ask for peace. Forget then about the man power and the industry in the Urals, the Soviets lost the strategic advantages. And as I have said: strategy and only strategy wins wars.
