Uh...a small correction - Hitler didn't knew the industrial might of the US. He totally underestimated US military and industrial power hence declared war on the US. TBH, the American performance industrially and militarily would have surprised the American leaders too. Didn't the second book said that Hitler know industrial might of US? Which second book? |

Soviets would probably had starved without American aid. Moreover the western allies diverted troops from the eastern front. It was also the British who cracked the German Enigma code. I'd say that the war was won by American aid, British intelligence and Soviet willpower (And manpower) |

that was his first book, I meant the second book that he never release Google says that it was "an unedited transcript of Adolf Hitler's thoughts on foreign policy written in 1928". Hitler's thoughts should be taken with a grain of salt. |

But the point is, for how long would they fight? What would they use for transportation? Also, I don't think the Soviet intelligence were successful on their own, except maybe for Richard Sorge, who was a Soviet Spy in Japan, not Germany. |

They fight for survival,Germans were on war of annihilation so better fight them than getting your family killed by them, use for transportation is horse and horse also they could use tank to transporting Troops but TBH that only use in emergency nowaday |

Didn't the STAVKA changed red army from being one the most underestimated army in the world to eventually one the strongest one on earth at the time? |
