This thread is inspired by the Time-Life book on POWs during WWII- Gen Andrei Vlasov was probably the closest the Nazis had for being a competent, charismatic anti-Stalin military leader to head a Russian liberation army, but Hitler, Himmler & Nazi bureaucracy & racism distrusted his potential, meaning that only belatedly in fall 1944 was Vlassov given effective command over a substantial no. of Russian ex-POWs forming RONA- the Russian Liberation Army- by which time it was too late to affect the outcome of the war on the Eastern Front.
What PODs then would be required for RONA to have become more effective to stand a chance of enabling Vlasov to have marched at the head of an anti-Soviet Russian liberation army which took Moscow ?\
Also, another related POD from the above wiki page- in July 1942, Vlasov was offered the choice to be flown out of the encircled Lyuban-Chudovo pocket, but declined, leadinbg to his later capture. WI he'd gotten on board that plane ? Would the prospect fo a Russian liberation movement have totally ceased to exist without a high-ranking disaffected Soviet general like Vlasov in German hands ?
