No Hitlers strategy was at fault the only thrusts that mattered were
Moscow and the Caucusus via the Ukraine. honestly if he wanted to
achieve elbow room effectively he would have been better to stop
at the original border and consolidate poland for a year prior to
the ill timed invasion. Hitlers interference in the movements of
the army groups prevented the Vital support of Lizt in the caucauses
which would have provided all the oil the germans needed and denied
it to the soviets.
the war in the east was not Misjudgement of terrain. it was the
meddling of an egotistic megalomaniac in military affairs.
the death of sixth army at "Stalingrad" shows how brilliant the
russian strategy was, they killed an entire army with a name.

how different a war it would be if moscow Fell first and
and the caucuses and Egypt had recieved the support they
deserved. German possesion of Moscow as an First Priority
target would have done much to slow the soviet industrial
move east and the organization of resistence, no it wouldnt
have prevented the russian recovery but it would have resulted
in meeting it on more equal terms later. the caucuses oil would
have Put vitality in the german war effort the shortage of oil
was paralytic to germany and this would have resolved much
as well as oil from the desert if rommel had had as little as
ten percent of the resources given to russia.

I believe he is correct to say that germany lost the war
when they declared war on russia and the US not because it
was inevitable to lose but because germany erred so in trying
