I know that this is a very generic answer since doctrine is more of a therm used by simulators and games to give bonuses to certain strategies, but I really wanted to ask your opinion on that. I'm going to use HoI IV doctrines on the thread:

1- Mass mobilization. The Third reich keeps the doctrine of the SA and lowers the recruiting standarts while also focusing on infantry, light infantry and motorized formations (tanks are present but the infantry is focused on destroying enemy tanks too with mines and AT weapons). The average soldier is more equipped than OTL by the industrial resources that went for tanks or artillery in our timeline.

2- Superior firepower-Grand battleplan. The Third reich basically goes for what they did in WWI, a possible PoD is Ludendorff accepting Hitler proposal in 1934 to be the chief of staff. The German army goes on the same way the french or the british went and focus on massive artillery formations and tanks being mass produced to work as support for infantry, not as independent formations. Motorized divisions are built as OTL.

So, how far sooner would Germany lose the war?
