Had the Germans captured Leningrad, yep, I do see Hitler as doing other stupid wasteful attacks elsewhere. These could have been the other "Stalingrads".

Had Hitler been sane enough, he should have protected the Caucuses better, and could probably have captered Moscow, and I do see that this could have been a "Stalingrad" type battle. He simply did not have the forces and logistics, to do all he had planned, and to hold all the territories he had--unless he had been smart enough to enlist the aid of Russian volunteers. Throughout the war, he could have had in excess of 2 million Russian volunteers.

He could have had possibly much more Russian support, had he played his cars correctly, and had not mistreated them so badly. If that had happened, I believe many more Russians, would have switched sides.
