What lies ahead of Volga if The Germans did succeed in crossing over in WW2?

Answer 1

To the north, more steppe country until the foothills of the Urals. To the south, desert and salt flats.

Hitler had no intention of crossing the Volga. He intended it to serve as a natural barrier for the eastern limit of his Reich.

Answer 2

Volga is a navigable river and a major transportation route, so it was important to control both sides of it. That would really help Germans' supply lines and improve communication.

Answer 3

The hinterland of the Soviet Union to which Stalin had moved a great deal of the country's war production. The possibility, eventually, of linking up with their allies, the Japanese (see your previous question, and look at a map or atlas). But there would have been a long, long way to go and almost impossibly extended supply lines.

Answer 4

the way to the Caucasian oil fields would've been wide open and the Hitlerites could've carried on an effective all-out war. Without those resources, his tanks and aircraft were stuck with the limited oil from the Romanian oil field at Ploesti and the oil from the synthetic plants....their fate was doomed.

Answer 5

They would first secure Caucasus,I am sure of that,after they would take Moscow and then rush towards Ural,I think Ural would be next obstacle (and last).
