If I recall correctly, right after the failed attack against the German forces around Leningrad in 1942, Vlasov's soldiers offered him a plane to escape from the front, but the general denied, decided to hide in a farm, was thus captured by the Germans, and the rest is history. So what if Vlasov decided to take that plane?

What would his fate be? I mean, he did get an entire army under him destroyed while trying to alleviate the siege of Leningrad, but he was also, at least at the time, a loyal and capable general who successfully defended (or helped defend) Moscow, so would Stalin purge him for the defeat of not? If not, then how would his career during the rest of World War II go?

Would the non-existence of a centralized Nazi Russian collaborant army in the form of the ROA have an effect on the Soviet war effort, if any?
