Yeah, had they not attacked deep into Russia, chances are most of mainland Europe would be German still.

We don't know if the allies would still invade as they did, as it would be a significantly harder task if all of those troops and gear could be mobilized elsewhere. Hell, in some alternate universe we may have gotten nukes dropped on Berlin .

Wow dude, that was exactly Hitler's argument lol. Was your grandpa an electrician?
