What if, as Germany was finishing up its invasion and occupation of France in late 1940, Russia attacks the eastern front of the Reich?
Russia sends everything it has historically in autumn 1940, with the goal to take all of Poland, seize the Balkans, Czech. and Hungary. Objectives for Spring and Summer 1941 are to push to Berlin and force Hitler to recognise Russian supremacy and Stalin as the chief dictator of Europe.
Could the Germans logistically tackle the Russian attack in late 1940? Did Russia have the means to attack in 1940? If not, what if the attack took place the day before Germany's historic Barbarossa, thus trumping the Weirmarcht?
