How to win it in late 41… good one.
To begin with I would kill corp. Hitler. That dumb ass got Germany in the predicament it was in in the first palce.
That being said you keep pushing on Moscow because the logistics of moving troops is what killed Germany. Is the Caucus a better objective - yes. But Corp. Hitler didn’t figure that out until it was too late. Germany may not have gotten the same fruits of capturing the oilfields (which should have been their major objective in 41), but they would have taken Moscow which was the locomotive hub of the USSR (not to mention, the capital.
The logistics of transferring the troops was a stupid play at that point. He should have kept the focus on Moscow and broke them there, than take his Moscow forces and move them where they needed to go. At all 3 Russian fronts Corp. Hitler never won… because when he had overwhelming force he never finished the fight.
WW2 history is kind of funny in that you think “thank god Hitler was so crazy that he lost the war”, but at the same time it is also “how did this crazy person get in charge in the first place?”
