no steed its not rubbish with the extra corps involved it may have been enough to tip the scales when the german army approached moscow . manstien was right when he told hitler the objective must be to take moscow as soon as possible and even if logisticaly the edge was in favour of the russuians the are no absolutes in warfare 300 spartans held off a million strong persian army logistically the falklands war should have been in the bag for the argentines but it wasnt there are other examples vietnam is one logistically the usa had it in the bag but it didnt turn out that way did it there are far more variables involved that can be easily expressed such as morale courage quality of arms training and many more in 1941 stalin was very close to abandoning moscow as the german army army approached and im dame sure rommel would have been able to get hitler to stop swaping and changing orders and objectives on the russian campaign
