Default Re: Barborossa had been halted a litte longer......

While I think its safe to say that all of the members would consider this a little more then far fetched, certain question would still arise.

Say that Germany was some how capable of sending these 40 divisions across 3 thousand miles of ocean.. ( even though we are aware that the Germans failed to cross the channel )

I have to ask what seems to probably be the first problem. Logistics. If the Germans strougled so much with their supply lines in Russia which were on land and roughly 1000 miles, then how would they be able to support their supply line in the ocean spanning several thousand miles against a major naval power?
