lmao unironically thinking soviets would throw in the towel just like that. stalin would turn into a martyr, zhukov would take command, and soviets would have kept fighting za rodinu even more emboldened.   nazis were never going to win. they didn't have the manpower to cover such a front nor the logistics and supply lines necessary to continue the advance. nazis attacked at the best possible moment and had the best possible scenario and still lost.
