There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
Russia is enormous, and German armies were burning fuel going at max speed at the end of their supplylines. They could not push harder than they were already pushing, and they all got bogged down in Stalingrad. Hitler had hyped the communists and the russians as the worst threat to German existence, so of course he had to keep his promise sometime. Germany also had to attack sooner, rather than later bcoz of Russian industry gearing up immensely, outstripping any german advantage.
All in all germany had basically no chance, especially not with Russia receiving Lend lease.

It's still a very long front. Supply lines that are very vulnerable. But it's anyone's guess.

Japan should have attacked Russia instead of America, and then Russia is in a two front war and the USA doesn't enter WW2 and the Thousand Year Reich is a thing.

Zjukov hosed em in the asssss so no. They were pretty much more afraid of the russians than the US.

The allies in western europe had basically no chance against the Red Army in 1945. Just look at how they raped manchuria in like, a week, to get an idea of how they had their poo poo together. They basically made Blitzkrieg on a huge scale and had an army capable of delivering.
