WW2 German military

Rommel would hang as a war criminal after the war, no one left the eastern front German army without some pretty severe stains on their record.

Rommel's Chief of Staff Hans Speidel was made NATO ground force commander in Europe in the 1950s was a general in the East beforehand. Marshals in the East that gave out war criminal orders at best got slaps on the wrist like Manstein who served four years in jail or Von Rundstedt that served no time in jail.

Model if he didn't blow out his brains likely would have gotten a Manstein length sentence. The generals who swung tended to be the desk generals that gave out criminal orders, but never risked their necks themselves.
 
Not so fast. There is good reason to believe that the 1941 German invasion of the USSR only preempted by days a planned soviet invasion of Western Europe.

No there isn't. There is a bogus claim to that effect by "Viktor Suvorov" (Vladimir Rezun). But there is nothing to support it. Soviet forces at the time were on peacetime status, not preparing for action. No one has ever found any trace in Soviet archives of the enormous volume of planning documents that would have been created.
 
Respectfully asking how then, in your opinion, could the Germans have won?

I am pretty sure there is a few TL's about this on the forum.

Apparently you only need to send Manstein to Africa in 1941;).

Or three torpedoes explode on the Nelson.

Joke aside, but it is really just a claim.
