What would the outcome of WW2 have been if it had been,just a war between the Soviet union and Germany?

Question

Without the involvement of the other great powers.

Answer 1

Germany would have been victorious, because it would have been able to devote it's full manpower and resources, the war would have been decided relatively quick. the wars in north africa, the atlantic and the partizan wars which took place all over occupied europe would not have sidelined much of the german military machine. The truth of the matter is that germany simply took onto too much , where one opposition would not have posed to much of a problem, even though the soviet union had arguably more resouces. The winter campaigns stopped the germans from operating has it was trained to do so, the timing of the conflict would have to be perfect and it's schedule maintained.

Answer 2

The Soviet Union would have won in the end. It would have been a longer, but the failure to take Moscow by the end of 1941,is indicative of the problems face by the Germans. A couple of points the German army was not the highly mechanised super machine that we were all led to believe, the majority of supply and munitions were brought up by the horse. Their tanks were generally inferior at least until the Tigers and Panthers, the later of which was "borrowed" from the soviets. The Germans may well have managed to control large areas , and this would have been true in the summer come the inclement weather the balance would swing back to the Soviets.

Answer 3

Based on a war only between the USSR and Germany, the Soviets would have won. The German war machine was highly complex and mobile. Their weapons were built very well with close tolerances. This made them costly and not quick to build. It also made them extremely vulnerable to cold and contamination. The Soviets built weapons that were very durable and effective. They were less costly and complicated to build and were less affected by the cold. Also, the Soviets had a vast superiority in manpower. Once the early German technological advantages were being overcome with the introduction of the T-34 tank and several versions of easy to maintain, simple to operate submachineguns, the USSR would likely have ground down the Germans.

Answer 4

The Soviet Union would most likely have run over Germany and occupied the entire area. I also believe that the Soviets would not stop there. They would have ultimately tried to invade other countries as Germany did. Ultimately, the other powers would have probably gotten involved to stop the Soviets.

Answer 5

Germany would have lost. The russians could have mustered an Army of 11,000,000 without counting an Air force and Armoured Divisions. They would have stopped the Germans at Stalingrad again, because of its location and able to supply the city by the back door. An offensive to take Moscow, must start in the Spring, but in Russia, this is also a time for heavy rain and any German Armour would be bogged down for weeks as it was. The german airfield also would be affected with flooded run ways.etc.

Answer 6

The Soviet Union depended on American arms and weapons to fight the Germans. If Americans didn't supply the Russians, the German Army would have walked into Moscow and St. Petersburg because the Russians had not enough miliary arms to fight the Germans.Stalin and Hitler signed a pact, so the Russians were unprepared for a German invasion when Hitler broke the pact.

Answer 7

To come to a logistical answer to your question, you can look at the dates on which history happened and define an answer. The U.S. was determined to stay out of WWII by a majority before Japan invaded Pearl Harbor. After this attack by Hitler's ally, the Japanese in Dec.1941, America entered the war. At this very exact same time in Russia, Germany was on the outskirts of Moscow trying to fight there way in. They later retreated back some distance to reinforce until the spring of 1942 came about. By this time, Hitler took personal control of the military and focused his attack on the Caucus oil fields near Stalingrad to have more oil to fuel his war machine. In spite of making the wrong decision, Germany still conquered a vast amount of land and had their existence fortified so that they still could have won the war if America would have not been involved. After the surrenders at Stalingrad and North Africa in 1943, it was now evident, by the involvements of America and Canada, that Hitler was losing the war.

If America would not have entered the war in 1941, I am convinced Germany would have won the war against Russia and England. The tide of the war turned when America entered the war thanks to the Japanese. At the same time the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hitler had Russia to it's knees and Britain was the ONLY country who refused to surrender.

Answer 8

The Werhmact and Waffen SS would have destroyed the Russians if it was just a one front war for Germany.. Even with Germany fighting a three front war, the much smaller German force gave the Russians all they could handle for 4 yrs and killed way more Russians than Russians killed Germans.

Answer 9

Germany would have used it's full army against the Soviets and captured the Cities of Moscow and Stalingrad. This would have given access to the Russian oilfields and let them use their whole army against the Nation of England. In short had Hitler beaten Russia first all of Europe would have fallen to the Nazis.

Answer 10

Probably the same, but would've taken longer - assuming that the rest hadn't given either side logistical support (fuel, hardware food etc). I can't think of any army that has ever conquered Russia on their own soil.
The Allies didn't win the war, Germany lost it. They've should've invaded Britain when they had the chance (England and Germany have always been natural strategic allies) but Adoplh was still waiting for us to join up with him. He waited too long. (not that we would have, but he thought we might).
