doing their race thing they should've done after winning, not before. all of baltics, ukraine etc would've gladly joined against stalin. many did, but it would've been overwhelming

German soldiers outperformed Allied soldiers under all conditions by a 50% margin

They were almost superhuman

In a technical age though that can’t overcome a 3:1 to 10:1 production advantage in all categories

Trevor N. Dupuy, a noted American military analyst, US Army Colonel, and author of numerous books and articles, studied the comparative performance of the soldiers of World War II. On average, he concluded, 100 German soldiers were the equivalent of 120 American, British or French soldiers, or 200 Soviet soldiers. “On a man for man basis,” Dupuy wrote, “German ground soldiers consistently inflicted casualties at about a 50 percent higher rate than they incurred from the opposing British and American troops under all circumstances [emphasis in original]. This was true when they were attacking and when they were defending, when they had a local numerical superiority and when, as was usually the case, they were outnumbered, when they had air superiority and when they did not, when they won and when they lost.” Many other noted historians agreed with this assessment:

many historians are saying this!

Is there some sort of averaging at play?

Does it account for surrendering? Mass numbers of Germans surrendered to the allies, seems this needs to be a part of analyzing fighting effectiveness.

Doesn't mean shit when you can't increase force projection, which is what the Americans and Soviets were able to do. The age of the noble ubermensch warrior is over.

Shirer said Barbarossa might have been different but Hitler went absolutely YSFFM on Yugoslavia or whatever and wasted the entire spring. Pretty classic case of "losing the forest for the trees" whereas a solid PM could have kept the deliverables on track

lol you mean the Italians invading Greece and totally fucking it up so the Germans had to bail them out?

There was no way for Barbarossa to work unless the Germans increased their army by 3x

if japan had invaded the soviet union at the same time as barbarossa it could have maybe made a difference

but germany didn't even telly japan about the invasion until it happened, and japan was too scared of the soviet union after getting its ass kicked by them earlier. it wasn't even seriously considered, the japan navy outranked its military

Hitler lost any chance of beating the USSR long-term when Stalin had the foresight, at the start of the invasion, to move his armaments factories to safety in the Urals. As a result, by the time the battle of Stalingrad started, Russia was making several times more tanks a month than Germany was.

The war would have lasted longer if Hitler had concentrated on taking Moscow or if he had not gotten distracted in Yugoslavia. But the end result would have been the same.

Soviet production plus Lend Lease vastly outproduced Germany industry. In the face of that, the best soldiers in the world can only do so much.

If conquering Kiev or Odessa were an existential need for Russia, then yeah, it could probably do it eventually at extremely high cost.

But neither of those are, in fact, existential needs for Russia. Wanting to destroy someone else's country doesn't mean that you NEED to destroy their country.

That being the case, Russia will correctly decide, after taking the Donbas and maybe Kharkiv, that there are no further objectives that are worth the enormous cost.

Germany lost because it could not effectively bomb and blockade the Soviets. That was because Germany did not have a viable Navy and U-Boats were too few in number when they were effective and ineffective when they had more available. Without the lend lease shipments, the Soviets fall. Without food, Britain would have surrendered. Alfred Thayer Mahan had it right. Layer on the complete inability to attack the US and the production core of the USSR and harharfucked.

should have just left Russia alone, without the brutality of that invasion I don't think you could get the soviet people to commit to that kind of war just because Stalin wanted some more of Poland or whatever. Tough to say what kind of kooky shit would have happened long term, but Hitler could have kept most of Western Europe if he'd been the least bit chill.

I don't think the soviets would have been willing to do anything like what they ended up having to do if they are the invaders though, nor do they get lend lease
