"Son of Barbarossa" or "S.o.B." - a What-If where Barbarossa is made to work.

No they dont they are two separate things.
Will lack of air superiority make tanks sink?
Not that they lacked air superiority at all in Russia.

 

If Leningrad is not taken on the march it would be best surrounded and laid siege too if Moscow is to be assaulted as well in my opinion.

 

Indeed they did. They failed when the Soviets refused to collapse as Hitler thought they would.

 

Ill say it again, Details!!! Saying it does not make it possible nor does it guarantee it.

 

Do you not think 6 weeks extra hard ground campaign time would allow the Germans to close the pincer round Moscow?

 

The advance did not fail however.
It was a great success .

 

Are you trying to master the art of makeing straw man arguments?

 

Except that it was not 6 full weeks as you seem to ignore the early rain that occurred right around the time of the Balkans campaign.

 

Irrelevant :Barbarossa failed in the summer.
BTW:the plan was not to advance by fighting,but to destroy the Red Army on the border,and then to advance without fighting to the Urals .
All that happened after august was meaningless:if the SU was not defeated in the summer,it could not be defeated in the autumn.

 

NO

 

??? an advance that lead to one of the worst national defeats in history. You have a warped definition of success. The advance did hault in August. It started up again September but faltered again in October. After that there were still limited success but there were also defeats and more haults and it ended with the Red Army in Berlin.

 

It wasn't so much early rain as late rain that meant the mud and flood season lasted later into the spring than normal. You are correct though that it wouldn't have been 6 full weeks. It's not even clear that it would have been 2 full weeks.

 

So we have established that the advance was not stopped by the Soviets until December 1941 well done.

 

Would have been 4-6 weeks according to Hitler, Churchill, Eden and others.

 

To the A-A line actually not the Urals.
However the war could have been won still depending on other enemies faced, starting factors etc not that year but later.

 

Think about it.
The extra 6 weeks hard ground campaign time would fall at the back end of the year before the October rain.

 

I am thinking about it, You keep ignoring that in the time frame for the Balkans campaign there was bad rain in Russia, Then they had more bad weather in October and so on.. At best there may have been an extra 4 weeks but that does not guarantee the Soviets lose.

 

The extra 4-6 weeks could preempt the October rain.

 

And you seem to totally ignore the late spring rains which fell around May wasn't it? Hence those 4-6 weeks would be more like 2-4 weeks and that is assuming the ground isn't still muddy (Heavy tanks and muddy ground makes for a very back breaking time trying to push the tank free ).

 

Even if it is delayed 2 weeks that still allows 4 weeks extra summer campaign time which may well be enough to allow the pincers to close on Moscow before the October rains.
