>Everyday germany was losing due to exposure from the air which hindered their industrial capacity in long run.
Germany's production grew continuously until the factories were captured, Allied bombing did little.
The SU was mobilizing for two years by then (summer of '41) they had numerical superiority on the German border. And as you said the mobilization was ongoing they could send continuously fresh troops to west after their campaign started.
>if allies didnt gain the air superiority there wouldnt be naval invasion
True. They absolutely needed air cover for that. But that came later in the war.
>officer gap was still a thing
Woudln't matter the new officers risen to their ranks just would have to learn their trade during real action which they did anyway, only during on the defence. Their fuckups wouldn't matter as they could have cover the losses laughingly both in material and manpower. They wouldn't even lost all those troops they did after the German invasion started.
>assuming stalin was really evil genius
I think generally we really underestimate both Hitler and Stalin. The first one obviously because of the failure and defeat, the second one we usually just don't pay enough mind, we shrug: he was an evil psycho dictator.
Being a genius doesn't guarantee success or leading role in anything. To rise in power that takes ambition and ego which frequently don't paired with intelligence - as we experience in our own governments on many occasion.
But sometimes it does pair and one rise who can play anyone like a harp. A little scary to think of it because this actually implies that there are secret conspiracies and they could do whatever with us and we cannot do a thing about it.
Stalin may have that evil genius. Some might say that if he was such a genius why things weren't better in the SU? Well, maybe he was genius because he knew people are generally shits and whatever they touch will turn into turd and he calculated failure into his masterplan as well. He didn't care because he didn't have compassion, he only cared about gaining more power, and maybe cared about this game as he maybe thought about it as such.
Hmm. I'm starting to get carried away, also sleepiness is creeping on me.
