Something I'd like to ask for a new map series/mini-TL I've been looking at. I am just starting my research on it, so I figured I'd ask here if there were plans for Soviet and Allied responses to Moscow actually being invaded or even falling?
The goal of this idea is to show that the war would've been far from over with the fall of Moscow, given the sheer amount of Soviet territory unconquered, factories moved into Siberia, etc. that even cursory research shows. That said, were there specific plans for the possibility of a Battle of Moscow taking place or even Fall of Moscow? Things like Allies trying to divert Lend Lease supplies through Central Asia (though I do imagine Astrakhan probably wouldn't fall right after Moscow so the Caspian Sea would at least for the time being be open to Allied shipping), possible locations of a capital in exile, plans to evacuate key Soviet leadership, etc.
Apologies if this has been asked before.
