In 1941 the Germans launched the invasion of the USS aimin at the manor cities, I find this to be a stupid idea, one splitting up the army makes it easier to cut off, Huge percentage of conscripts came from rural areas, the cities would be nigh impossible to take, so what if Hitler had a sane mind and decided to focus all efforts on the soviet oil fields in Ukraine and Baku, because of the germans seize the soviet oil fields,'it does not matter how many tanks or guns the soviets produce their factories will no be able to run also, by cutting off Baku, you cut of the sovet forces stationed in the east from oil supplies and by seizing Ukraine and mos of the caucasius the Germans can cut of the soviets from land lease, plus with these areas under German control the Germans can refuel, resupply and rearm their force and then invade the Russian heartland, plus while they invade they treat the ethnicities with kindness so that theyy will support Germany, could this tactic have worked.
