>Probability: I think the objective chances of German victory in 1941-42 were high. They made three critical meta-mistakes:
>(1) Declaring war on the United States.
>In that case, there be no American Lend-Lease, which was critical for making up deficiencies in Soviet production (e.g. copper wire, aviation gasoline). There would also be no “second front” in the form of the bombing campaign, which put a crimp on German production when they did start to ramp it up. The Soviets would have never enjoyed air superiority, and the resources invested into AA defense would have gone into more tanks and artillery.
>(2) Treating the peoples of the occupied territories and POWs extremely harshly.
>They could have always just promised them everything, then drawn out the daggers once the USSR was definitively defeated. I guess it doesn’t pay to be prematurely nasty.
>(3) Waiting too long to go into full economic mobilization.
>German military production peaked in 1944, when the air campaign was at its peak and the Allied armies were already closing in.
