Im not so sure this is the case..... While England's biggest allie was and is the Channel, the country itself is smaller then Germany with a smaller population and a smaller industrial might not to mention that Great Britain depended more on other countries for help ( the U.S. ) which gave it if you may, a chink in its armor which the Germans exploited.

Russia on the other hand, is about 20 times the size of Germany with 11 times zones and a population more the triple the amount not to mention almost an infinite amount of resources and industrial might ( if needed ) which made Russia much less reliant on other powers.....

If Germany was stretched to its limit at Moscow, how would they capture the other 3/4's of the country??
