The Luftwaffe and radio in Panzers was the main reasons for the domination the Germans had in the Battle of France and in Early Barbarossa. While the Luftwaffe failed at the Battle of Brittian (because Germans planes were designed for close combat support not independent operations) They didn't have a four engine bomer. They massacre the Red Airforce entirely in the first two days of Barbarossa.
What they needed was a gerneric massed produced tank comparable to the T-34 not the countless varients of Pz4s, Panthers, and Tigers. I just don't know how the Germans didn't have the for sight to realize this, especially when the Russians were having success in late 42. I think there ideaology and strategic planning got in the way of their subperb tactical skills. The Soviets put everything they had into fighting the Germans. While the Germans had tons of other silly priorities that could have been put on the back burner until the real threats were taken care of.
Or What if the Panzerfaust and Panzerschrecks were designed and mass produced earlier? I think if the germans had these weapons in mass not just for themselves but especially for the Romanians. If the 2 million or so Romanians that fought in Barbarossa had better training and better arms it could have made the diffrence in the surrounding of Stalingrad.
I guess the reality is that they really had no chance against the Soviet Union. They preformed perfectly for the first few months of the war. They destroyed the Red Airforce completely, they destoryed almost all signifigant military hardware. They had cut off two of the three largest cities. If what they did IRL wasn't enough to knock the Soviets out then I doubt any real scenario can be devised short of ASB. Atleast in a 41 offensive. If they wait a two years and have the subperb Panerschreck and the economical Panzerfaust, along with their rocket program more time to develop. They might have got far enough ahead technoligical to have an even more signifigant advantage.
