The Germans had already lost that front when they diverted the attack from Moscow to Stalingrad. By that time the Russians were beating the Germans strategically.


The allies couldn't have beaten Japan, but Germany would've fallen on the western front eventually. Colonialism being the reason why.. the Europeans, with allies, would've eventually outlasted the dwindling German numbers.

I agree that Stalingrad was a disaster and was only so important because it was named after Stalin. Shifting away from Moscow and the oil fields of the south were serious mistakes.
Give your line of thinking regarding the strategic aspects. Is it because of Japan not being a threat in the east?

Good post.

Splitting Army Group Center was the beginning of the end. The Germans take Moscow, it's all over.
