If it weren't for the disasterous acts the Soviets committed during the war and in the decades after, Operation Uranus would be looked upon with the same valor and reverence as something like D-Day.

It was that gamechanging.

Russia was able to ship troops from the Far East because their intell indicated the Japanese were not going to attack Russia.

Germany and Japan had a screwy alliance. Japan never declared war on Russia and did not threaten Russia, but as soon as Japan attacked the US Hitler jumped in and declared war on the US three days later.

If Germany stayed out of the Japanese war with the US how would history have changed? How long could Germany have gone against Russia without D-Day, Italy, African campaign involving the US, etc?
