the war would have been over if hitler didn't let the british escape at dunkirk.  then there was a time they fell for some ploy involving a floating corpse with fake plans in it. the germans didn't do things like this because they had a dumb (when fighting people without it) honor code themselves and wouldn't do something like this.  then there were tons of times generals refused orders that would have put their men in harms way where the soviets or even western allies would have just steamrolled through and taken heavy casualties.  there's 3 examples it's been awhile since i studied ww2, but at one point i found at least 6 different things they would have won the war with even if all 5 other things had gone wrong that they messed up on some from misplaced honor, others via mistakes. it was closer than you think despite the differences in production and manpower.
