In the fall of 1941 Ritter von Leeb commander of army group north made 1 final desperate lunge at Leningrad before the 4th panzer army was taken away to support operation typhoon. the orders advising him to go over to the defensive and to prepare the 4th panzer army for transport had allready been sent. Leeb with the tacit support of Keitel made his one last try at Leningrad's outer defences which was an utter failure. the 1st panzer division in particular was roughly handled but the entire 41st panzer corps as well was exauhsted
what if Leeb followed his orders and pulled his armor out of the line for work with army group center. in this useless offensive he lost over hundred tanks and a lot of good veteren infantry.
does this allow army group center to make that one last final push and break into moscow proper or is it too little too late
