Based on the above factors, the German army did have enough ability to annihilate the vast majority of the Soviet armed forces, occupy the three strategic cities in the north, the center and the south, advance to the line of the Ural Mountains, and complete the goals set by the "Barbarossa Plan". $$$ (). ()()(). () As long as the German army occupies the elite part of the Soviet Union in Europe, controls important cities, controls transportation hubs, and develops strategic resources, only a relatively large armed force will be needed to calmly deal with the counterattack of the Asian part of the Soviet Union. Although the remnants of the Soviet Union, which had lost the European part, were vast, the population was sparse, the economy was backward, the materials were scarce, and the transportation was inconvenient, so it was unable to muster enough forces to challenge Germany, which had occupied the elite part of the Soviet Union.

It was not for nothing that Hitler considered the territory of the USSR beyond the objectives covered by the "Barbarossa Plan" to be a barren wasteland, not worth occupying. If the Soviet Union had reached that point, it would have been like defeat, so it was indeed possible for Germany to defeat the Soviet Union.

Due to the muddy rainy season and terrible winter of the Soviet Union, it will also greatly affect the logistics supply and combat capability of the German army, which may lead to its inability to complete the "Barbarossa Plan" before the winter of 1941, resulting in a long war between the Soviet Union and Germany.

If the war dragged on 194 years later, would it still be possible for the German army to defeat the Soviet Union? The answer is: Yes! Historically, Germany was not able to win a quick victory in 1941, but it still achieved a brilliant victory: a large number of Soviet troops were annihilated, large swathes of Soviet territory were occupied, and the German army remained in the heart of the Soviet Union waiting for the next attack. If Germany can continue to annihilate a large number of Soviet troops so that they have lost a lot of blood and have no time to replenish them, continue to occupy Soviet territory so that they lose the basis for a comeback, and continue to seize the resources of the Soviet Union to feed the war, it can still destroy the Soviet Union's war strength and deprive the Soviet Union of its potential to continue fighting. Thus gaining victory.

Of course, the Soviet Union will also get the most important respite: countless military service people have joined the army, dozens or hundreds of new divisions have gone to the front, a large number of factories have moved east to the Ural Mountains, and hundreds of weapons and equipment have left the production line? The war strength of the Soviet Union gradually expanded, and the quick decisive battle between the Soviet Union and Germany gradually evolved into a long-term confrontation between the comprehensive strength of the two countries.

In the event of further victories for the USSR on the battlefield, the scales of victory would finally tip in favor of the USSR. Germany's eventual failure to suppress the Soviet Union's war potential and transform it into war strength will be an important reason for Germany's defeat.

There are also many factors that should not be overlooked. If Germany fails, it must be a combination of many factors, and it is definitely not just a one-sided decision of one or two factors.

1. Allied Adversaries:

Although Germany organized the European Union, controlled most of the European continent, and became a veritable European empire, it created too many opponents. The Soviet Union, Britain, Canada, the United States, South America, Africa, Asia and many other countries that were enemies of Germany. They have at their disposal most of the world's population, resources, materials, economy, and technological power, especially the United States, which has a strong war potential, and which sooner or later will declare war on Germany. A decisive weight has been added to the balance of victory for the Allies against the EU: the Allies compared to the EU. With a fourfold superiority in manpower, a quadruple superiority in steel, an even greater superiority in oil, and a formidable adversary, Germany was unable to concentrate all its efforts against the Soviet Union, and even though the fierce battle was about to begin in full swing, Germany maintained a considerable number of troops on the Western Front in Europe, Norway, and North Africa to prevent possible future attacks.

Germany invested about 70% of the total army strength in the Soviet Union. Far from doing its best. And after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war. A full-fledged anti-EU coalition will eventually be formed. The Soviet Union will not only receive military support from countries led by the United States and Britain. Even Japan, which had been hostile for a long time, could have been freed up by signing a Japan-Soviet non-aggression pact with it. Resist the German attack with all your might.

It was like Germany tying one hand and fighting against the Soviet Union, which could go all out and take a break, and the disadvantages were very obvious.

. European Union of Nations:

Although the European Union of States has been formed, it is actually very difficult to really integrate all the forces of the European Union, and it is common for the European Union to quarrel over a single issue for several months in later generations, and the European Union of States at this time can be much better.

For example, Italy did not notify Germany and rashly attacked East Africa, North Africa, Albania, and Greece, and as a result, the Italian army was vulnerable and suffered a heavy defeat. It not only disrupted the balance of power in the Balkans and Africa, which was originally in line with Germany's expectations, but also forced Germany to send troops to save its disgraced comrades, which indirectly led to the dispersion of troops and the delay of the "Barbarossa Plan".

Hitler helped Franco during the Spanish Civil War. However, when Hitler hoped that Franco would reciprocate and implement the "non-Nix plan" he had formulated to occupy the Strait of Gibraltar and choke the lifeline of Britain, he was disappointed by the answer, which showed that Spain also had its own calculations.

The signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact brought down the Japanese cabinet en masse. Soon after, Japan also signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, choosing between "northward expansion" and "southward expansion" as the national focus. At this time, the situation between Germany and Japan to flank the Soviet Union no longer existed, and Li Mo also had to bear some responsibility, because Li Mo had always been fully opposed to the alliance with Japan, and Hitler refused the olive branch from Japan.

. War Command:

The combat quality of the German officers and men was unparalleled, but the command of the German military top brass could also be problematic: the German High Command (OK) and the Army General Command (OKH), which Hitler had established single-handedly, had overlapping responsibilities and overlapping powers. They are intrigued and compete for power; There was often disagreement and mutual distrust between Hitler and the senior German generals. Hitler was arbitrary, too centralized, did not delegate power, and overstepped his command. Not only has it stubbornly gone its own way in the overall strategic direction, but it has even interfered with operational command down to the battalion and company level, and the army is unable to make rational dispositions according to the battlefield situation. The German commander laughed at himself: "Without the order of the Führer, I would not dare to move the post of the sentry from the door to the window." ”

Historically, the major decision-making mistakes of the German army in World War II are as follows, to name a few: After the Battle of Moscow, after the defeat of the German army, Hitler resolutely refused to retreat, which directly led to the annihilation of a large number of German troops and greatly damaged their vitality. From the following year, the Germans no longer had the strength to launch a full-scale offensive, so they had to carry out a heavy offensive; In 194, the German army attacked the Volga and the Caucasus at the same time, but as a result, the forces were scattered, and neither of the two strategic goals was achieved; The Battle of Stalingrad, which threw the entire division and regiment of the elite German field troops into the meat grinder of the city, causing a large number of casualties; After the Sixth Army was surrounded, it was not allowed to retreat and was completely annihilated by the Soviet army;
