    @NapoleanDawg can confirm.

    Agreed. He should have saved the Ruskies for later, but those oil fields were mighty tempting.
    They should have gone full boar for the Suez Canal and Middle East oil. Much easier grab.
    How would they have gotten there?
    They already were there.

    IIRC Rommel was stuck in Egypt and was pushed out of the Middle East by the Brits, and pro-Nazi revolutions failed in Iran and Iraq. Also, there was the fact that the oil fields there were undeveloped so the fields in the Caucasus were the more attractive option. Of course, we all know they fucked that up badly as well.

    They didn't even equip themselves with winter gear before heading to Russia. Didn't think the assault would last that long.

    Hitler opening an Eastern Front 6 weeks earlier >>>>>> Hitler not opening an Eastern Front >>> Hitler not fucking up the Eastern Front

    The rainy season on the drive to Moscow is a bitch.


    Simple fact. Case closed. End of discussion.

    The Germans weren’t used to playing at that altitude.
