Just general suicidal overconfidence and a failure to acknowledge the extreme limitations of Germany’s logistics structure and industrial base. Operation Barbarossa would’ve worked great if they’d just won every battle with minimal losses like they’d planned.

Naginata???

$24 for a Timeless Soba Classic seems like a steal to me

Thamk you i am blessed

I mean realistically this would immediately lead to
1) The entire command structure revolts
2) Stalin gets removed, probably violently
3) Potsdam happens as normal except the USSR’s position is very slightly weaker I guess

I think one of the benefits of doing a PhD is you realize there are a lot of conversations where you genuinely have nothing to contribute and that’s ok
