[QUOTE="Walterp, post: 2088188, member: 321"] We'll never know. I was very taken with Hitler's response when he learned the true extent of Russian strength, rather than the faulty intelligence upon which he had relied in planning 'Barbarossa.' If he knew then that he had made a grievous error that would lose him the war, I'd go with that. My understanding is that the saving of Moscow was not the saving of Russia, in that Russia's strength then (and now) has always been its depth of defence - a fact we tend to forget when we consider whether Ukraine should, or ever can be, anything but a buffer state and a Russian sphere of influence. On Stalin's survival, the evidence is (according to Rupert Furbag Montefiore) that if Stalin managed to survive the initial invasion shock, he was by default Russia's only leader. He was never likely to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
