Most threads I've seen approach the question of winning WWII from the angle of the Axis, or Germany doing something better which will get them a better out come. I've long thought there was no easily addresed way they could have done so. The Axis were near the top of their game & without large changes, many years earlier the war was not theirs to win. Conversely could it have been for the Allies to lose? That is were there any logical and fairly easily reached decisions or actions that could have lost the war for them. Realistically this includes one or more different leaders being chosen.

I guess this is not a standard WI, but rather a question about the actual ability of the Allied leaders & other factors on the Allied side.

My first thought on this is Soviet leadership falling apart in June/July 1941, leaving the Red Army & NKVD rudderless. This does not guarantee the Axis anything, but goes a long way to improving the German situation.

Any other ideas here?
