Not sure.

As your on the subject area..

Barbarossa 1941

On paper looked possible, true to say Hitler did attack in the right year but long term planning and logistical support was poor. After the big punch of the first three weeks the army groups started to fan out and the problems set in. Hitler and his cronies believed in the great German will power, short sighted thinking.
