You're welcome to offer a reasoning behind your opinion, because as it stands this does not constitute a rebuttal.
Because a bunch of worthless ideologues - the sort of people who believed against all evidence the German Army was winning in 1918 - convinced themselves the Soviet Union would collapse after the first couple of defeats.
It didn't,
Just like the Soviets didn't surrender at losing Kiev, or Smolensk, or Kharkov, or the third time they had half a million men surrounded, they wouldnt have surrendered even if you wave a magic wand and say 'Leningrad falls because the Fuhrer wills it so !'.
