Had Hitler not been an insane evil megalomaniac (then of course none of WWII would have happened anyway...) and micro managed his generals Germany would have prevailed on the eastern front. Plenty of those under the boot of stalin in the satellite holdings of ussr saw the German army as liberators, not conquerers (because they were conquered by stalin...) Read How Hitler could have won WWII: The fatal errors that led to nazi defeat by Bevin Alexander before you heap too much glory on the former ussr in WWII. The nazi party was evil, no arguments there but the German people tried numerous times to assassinate Hitler and right the terrible course he set their nation upon. To this day I would not want to p!ss off the German people. They have a resolve, methodicalness, and cohesiveness above many other nations to achieve whatever end they choose to pursue. Well, I'm way off topic now.
