Apparently, during the course of 1941-42, during the siege of Leningrad, Stalin sent out peace feelers to Hitler offering to allow the Nazis to annex the Ukraine, if a separate peace was made. At the same time, Stalin utilised his propaganda machine to convey himself as the steadfast defender of Mother Russia who'd never give in, during the course of the fighting at Leningrad. In the end, Hitler rebuffed these secret overtures, so the Soviets continued to fight to the death.
WI a separate peace had been arranged between Hitler and Stalin somehow during that point ? Wider ramifications on WWII ? Or WI Stalin's secret political manouvering had somehow been leaked- would he have been branded a coward and traitor by his fellow Communists and overthrown ?
