The decision to move south instead of Moscow makes perfect sense because Hitler knew that the soviets can be defeated by only depriving them of resources like Caucausus oil. You take the oil the russian tanks and other mechanized forces can no longer move.
Right! 80% of Russia's fuel moved up the Volga river into central Russia. And the Wehrmacht needed that fuel for their Panzers. Hitler was ahead of his Generals in strategic thinking. Napoleon captured Moscow in 1812 and the Russians burned it.
At that time Sankt-Petersburg was the capital of imperial Russia which many people don't know. Moscow became the capital when Soviet Union was created.
You underestimate Stalin's character. He would have fought to the bitter end even if Moscow was captured. The russians can only be defeated by taking economic targets and not political ones. Russia is not France. What goes on european chessboard doesn't work asian goboard as TIKhistory said. Hitler had a strategic mindset while his generals were thinkig tactically.

RIP to everyone who fought. German soldiers were cynically used by Hitler. Many fought bravely, died or were wounded doing their duty. Thousands never saw home or their loved ones ever again. Of the 90,000 German prisoners taken at Stalingrad, over half died in under 6mths and only 5000 EVER returned to Germany EVER again. They suffered, too. The whole war was a humanitarian tragedy.
0:20 "The three independent Baltic countries - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania - were invaded and occupied in June 1940 by the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Stalin and auspices of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that had been signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in August 1939, immediately before the outbreak of World War II.[1][2] The three countries were then annexed into the Soviet Union (formally as "constituent republics") in August 1940. The United States and most other Western countries never recognised this incorporation, considering it illegal.[3][4] On 22 June 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union and within weeks occupied the Baltic territories. In July 1941, the Third Reich incorporated the Baltic territory into its Reichskommissariat Ostland. As a result of the Red Army's Baltic Offensive of 1944, the Soviet Union recaptured most of the Baltic states and trapped the remaining German forces in the Courland Pocket until their formal surrender in May 1945.[5] During the 1944-1991 Soviet occupation large numbers of people from Russia and other parts of the former USSR were settled in the three Baltic countries, while the local languages, religion and customs were suppressed.[6] David Chioni Moore classified it as a "reverse-cultural colonization", where the colonized perceived the colonizers as culturally inferior.[7] Colonization of the three Baltic countries was closely tied to mass executions, deportations and repression of the native population. During both Soviet occupations (1940-1941; 1944-1991) a combined 605,000 inhabitants of the three countries were either killed or deported (135,000 Estonians, 170,000 Latvians and 320,000 Lithuanians), while their properties and personal belongings, along with ones who fled the country, were confiscated and given to the arriving colonists - Soviet military and NKVD personnel, as well as functionaries of the Communist Party and economic migrants."

@randommadness1021 The main Soviet Superspy was 'Asche'....a source within OKW or widely believed to be Martin Bormann. Plus which, Britain gave Stalin intelligence from Enigma and Ultra ahead of Kursk.
@ianjarrett2724 Martin Boremans intelligence really only came into significance during the cold War did it not? I wasn't aware that he had anything at all to do with Lucy. The point I was making was how would the Russians fared without Lucy? Of course we will never know, but the certainly would have lost a lot more battles. Martin Boreman was brilliant for the Soviets after the war, there is no doubting that, but I'm not quite sure what the point you're trying to make is...? The question I have put forward is, would the Soviets ever recovered without Lucy? I think it is highly doubtful.
@randommadness1021 The Soviets were advised by Britain through Enigma Intelligence in 1941 BEFORE Barbarossa that Hitler was going to invade..he chose to ignore it. Enigma decrypts together with material from the Soviet superspy within the OKW, gave the Stavka full access to German order of battle, plans and tactics at Kursk before a shot was fired. My point was that The Lucy ring was far from the only intelligence the Soviets received to support their battle with The Nazis on the Eastern Front in the critical period 1941-43.
Growing up is realising without lendlease none of the allied forces would have recovered from the stunning German victory’s on both fronts (Dunkirk) (collapse of Russians entire western frontier)
@@duanepigden1337 It was a European war. We had no defensive treaty with any European power. And From Sept 39 to June 22, 1941 the Soviets left the French and British on their own while they continued supplying the Germans. Bet they were making money.
Stalin soon found out to move his Weapons Factories out of reach from the Germans and made new and Industrially efficient Factories to the east, with some help from American Industrial Experts. So he outproduced even the Americans with rough, but efficient new tanks, with interchangeable spares even from several factories.
I find the hypothesis compelling, that the southern priority was driven by Germany's desperate need for oil; reserves totalling only a few months. That started to draw away reserves from the Moscow axis much later than the need to secure the huge pocket at Kiev (19/7/1941: Directive 33) but must have been in mind from the start.
The German offensive in Russia was a disorganized mess from the get-go. Generals in the OKH were constantly tweaking Hitler's order to align with their own priorities. In fact, Hitler thought that taking Moscow would be useless and instead wanted to move north to take Lenningrad and cut off the Allies' supply routes into Russia. He also wanted a simultaneous thrust to the south to cut off Russian oil from the Caucuses. These were strategic moves that, if strictly followed may have weakened Russia to a point where they could only defend and not counterattack on a broad front. Unfortunately for Hitler (and the German Army), the Staff generals in OKH were myopically focused on Moscow and this greatly diluted efforts in the north and south. Bad for German - Good for Russia (and the world).
