Look up the Eastern front, they invaded in June from three different directions. Instead they should have all gone to Moscow with everything they had.
They fell just short of that.
That's my take.

Communism is very top heavy especially under Stalin, get him and no one else will know what to do.

They should have won desu they had a way better military than anyone else in the area.

Also the air war with Britain was a big failure and waste of resources.

>a massive 6 nation alliance on his side in Operation Barbarossa

a yes, the mighty nations of Finland, Hungary, Austria and Italy and their formidable armies

Didn't try to take moscow but it was repulsed? If they had such a difficult time with case blue I can only imagine how much of a headache the capitol would have been. Also it's plausible the soviet leadership would have just moved further in land and still continued the war. I think the germans were fucked either way.

They got to the outskirts within 100 miles, never got close enough to kill Stalin and take the city.

Instead they split their forces and got stuck then winter came and killed their momentum

Army group north encircled Leningrad and got stuck there the entire war
South went to Stalingrad and we all know what happened there

Allied captured an enigma machine. All their secret communications and plans were intercepted without the nazi knowledge from that point on.

Yeah this is a big deal as well
Hard to do anything when they know what you're doing before you do it lmao

The allies had to sacrifice people retardedly because they didn't want to make it obvious that they knew.

Poland decoded the enigma machine back in 1934. Turings work was just basically copying this. Nazis sucked at spycraft stuff
