But if invading the Soviet Union was the only option, 1941 was the window of opportunity. The Soviets hadn't finished their Army modernization, the T-34 and KV-1 were just coming into the field, and modern communications gear was still absent in most of the western border districts. By 1942, Soviet modernization would have been complete. The US would be in the war and an invasion of Russia would have been a much tougher proposition.
